Heritage Protection Act

The Heritage Protection Act is a law designed to safeguard places and items of cultural, historical, or natural significance. Its primary goal is to preserve Australia's heritage for future generations. The act helps identify, assess, and protect heritage sites, ensuring they are respected and maintained. It enables the government to prohibit damaging activities and promotes public awareness of heritage importance. By doing so, the act encourages conservation efforts and allows communities to celebrate their history and identity.
