10. The AMSA Heritage Register

Share

The AMSA Heritage Register is an internal electronic database that records operational and heritage management information on heritage places under AMSA management. AMSA finalised its Heritage Register in March 2021.

The register entries are reviewed on a regular basis by the AtoN Heritage Coordinator and amended when an event triggers changes relating to:

key stakeholders
the operational management of the site
lease/licence agreements
heritage register listings
property access
maintenance/capital works on site.

The date of when information has been last updated is recorded in each entry. A condensed Heritage Register is set out in tables on the following pages.

Notes on the abbreviations used in the Heritage Register table

RNE	Register of the National Estate (RNE)—this register was closed in 2007 and is no longer a statutory list. The RNE is maintained on a non-statutory basis as a publicly available archive and educational resource. RNE places can be protected under the EPBC Act if they are also included in another Commonwealth statutory heritage list or are owned or leased by the Commonwealth. The majority of AMSA heritage sites are also protected by various state listings, as already identified for AMSA by heritage experts.
CHL	Commonwealth Heritage List—this list comprises heritage places owned or controlled (including leased) by the Commonwealth, which have been added to the CHL by the Minister for the Environment acting on the advice of the Australian Heritage Council. Some places on the AMSA Heritage Register have not gone through this process but may do so in the future—in the meantime they are managed by AMSA so as to protect their heritage value.
State or local	Each Australian state, and some territory or local authorities, have their own heritage registers, with its own regulatory processes. Many AMSA heritage sites are located within places that are listed in these registers. AMSA takes account of these listings as it manages its assets.
CHL Indicative Place	These are places for which data provided to or obtained by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment has been entered into the database, but no formal nomination has not been made. The Australian Heritage Council has not assessed these places, nor advised the Minister for the Environment about them. The information in the database does not necessarily represent the views of the council or the minister.
Natural heritage	Naturally occurring heritage encompassing the countryside and natural environment, including flora and fauna, scientifically known as biodiversity, as well as geological elements.
