The Cultural Heritage Act

The Cultural Heritage Act is a law designed to protect and preserve important cultural sites, traditions, structures, and artifacts. It establishes guidelines to ensure that historical and cultural resources are maintained for future generations, preventing damage or destruction. The Act also regulates activities like construction or development near heritage sites, requiring assessments and permits to safeguard their integrity. It supports the recognition of cultural diversity and promotes the responsible management of heritage assets within communities, balancing development with the need to conserve the nation’s cultural identity and history.
