G'day YECA fam!

Do we have any Cultural Heritage experts in the room? Then I'm sure you've heard! 👀

Did you know that the WA State Government has released the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2020?
This is proposed to replace the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.

The main changes to be enacted by the Bill are based around strengthening the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage namely through:
- significantly increasing the penalties imposed for harming Aboriginal cultural heritage;
- introducing a new tiered assessment system for different categories of activities that may harm Aboriginal cultural heritage with approvals required for low and medium, to high impact activities;
- modernising the definition of ‘Aboriginal cultural heritage’ (ACH) to include intangible elements of CH; and
- redefining the parameters around the establishment and operation of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Council (ACHC) and requirements for engagement and consultation with Relevant Aboriginal Parties.
