Heritage Act 1977

A person may apply to the Heritage Council for a certificate as to whether there are—

any outstanding notices of intention to give an order under this Division in respect of a particular building, work or relic, and

any orders in force under this Division in respect of a particular building, work or relic.

The application must be in the form determined by the Heritage Council and must be accompanied by the fee determined by the Heritage Council.

The Heritage Council is to issue a certificate to the applicant stating—

whether or not a notice is outstanding or an order is in force in respect of the building, work or relic as at the date of the certificate and, if so, the terms of any such notice or order, and

any action proposed to be taken or that may be taken by the Heritage Council or any other person in relation to any such notice or order.

The production of the certificate is taken for all purposes to be conclusive proof of the existence or otherwise of any outstanding notices and any orders in force.
