NSW Heritage Strategy

The NSW Government is committed to developing a new heritage strategy for our state. The NSW Heritage Strategy is an opportunity to set a new vision for heritage in New South Wales.

The NSW Heritage Strategy will work to recognise, protect and celebrate the places, objects and cultural practices that give our communities meaning. It will look to modernise heritage systems and processes, understand the meaning of heritage to the NSW community and address key challenges of heritage now and into the future.

NSW Heritage Act review

A parliamentary inquiry into the Heritage Act 1977 was held in 2021. The inquiry reviewed the effectiveness of the Heritage Act and the NSW heritage regulatory system to consider ways to deliver more effective, relevant and best-practice approaches to recognise, conserve, reuse and celebrate NSW heritage.

The NSW Heritage Strategy will take the review’s findings into account.
