Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

When the Australian Heritage Council gives the Minister the priority assessment list, the Council must also give the Minister a statement setting out such information as the Council considers appropriate relating to:

for each place that is included in the list—why the Council included the place in the list; and

for each place that is not included in the list but that was eligible for assessment consideration because of paragraph 341JA(3)(a)—why the Council did not include the place in the list.

The statement must also identify, as a place nominated by the Australian Heritage Council, any place that is included in the list because the Council itself wishes to nominate the place or part of it (as mentioned in paragraphs 341JA(3)(b) and (c)).
