Overview

In Australia, important Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage objects and places can be protected under Commonwealth and State legislation.

These protections can limit the development of land in the vicinity of the heritage object or place.

How we can help

We assist clients across Australia to resolve complex heritage law matters. At Bick & Steele, we can help you by:

• advising you on the Commonwealth, State and Territory heritage legislation applicable to a particular heritage item or place;

• advising you as to your rights to carry out development which may affect a protected heritage item or place and assisting you to obtain approval to exercise those rights; and

• advising on how to protect an important heritage item or place threatened by proposed development.
