Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council

The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council is a governing body that advises the government on protecting and managing Indigenous cultural sites and traditions in Victoria. It ensures that Aboriginal peoples’ cultural heritage is respected, preserved, and properly consulted about land use and development. The council supports Aboriginal communities in maintaining their cultural practices and values, and helps develop policies that protect important ancestral sites and artifacts for future generations. It acts as a bridge between government, developers, and Aboriginal communities to promote respectful and informed decision-making regarding cultural heritage.
