Queensland Heritage Act

The Queensland Heritage Act is a law that protects places and areas of historical, cultural, or natural significance in Queensland. It helps ensure that important sites—like old buildings, landscapes, or landmarks—are preserved for future generations. The Act sets out processes for identifying, documenting, and protecting these heritage-listed places, balancing conservation with development needs. It involves community input and oversight by heritage authorities to maintain Queensland's unique history and environment while allowing sustainable use and appreciation of these valued sites.
