The Heritage Council of Western Australia

The Heritage Council of Western Australia is the State government agency created under the Heritage of Western Australia Act (1990) to identify, conserve and promote places of cultural heritage significance in WA.

The Act provides for the compilation of Western Australia's Register of Heritage Places as well as a Municipal Inventory for each local government area. The Heritage Council also promotes and sponsors academic-based professional education; provides advisory services to the Minister for Heritage and the public; undertakes conservation planning, and administers funding for these purposes.

Under the Act, the Register of Heritage Places carries legal implications for other government departments, municipal councils, developers and individual property owners. The Heritage Council offers financial support in the form of grants for projects that enhance the understanding or conservation of heritage places. The Heritage Council also promotes Western Australia's Cultural heritage to the wider community.
