Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

The Minister must keep a written record of places and their heritage values in accordance with this Subdivision and Subdivisions BA, BB and BC. The record is called the National Heritage List.

A place may be included in the National Heritage List only if:

the place is within the Australian jurisdiction; and

the Minister is satisfied that the place has one or more National Heritage values (subject to the provisions in Subdivision BB about the emergency process).

A place that is included in the National Heritage List is called a National Heritage place.

The National Heritage List is not a legislative instrument.
