WALGA and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) will be hosting an online information session to provide an update on the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021.

The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 recently passed through State Parliament, and will provide better protection for Aboriginal cultural heritage by giving Aboriginal people a stronger say in managing their cultural heritage. In line with Native Title laws, the Bill focuses on agreement making with Traditional Owners to enable Aboriginal people to negotiate outcomes for projects and opportunities on their lands.
 
The Webinar will provide an overview of the new legislation and the opportunities for Local Government to be involved in ongoing engagement through the co-design process to develop key support documents. DPLH will also provide an update on Local Government specific heritage agreements.
 
Date:  Thursday, 17 February 2022
Time:  10:00am to 11:00am
