Cultural Heritage Studies Guidelines
A cultural heritage study (CHS) is a comprehensive study of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage conducted of an area under the provisions of Part 6 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Heritage Act 2003. The purpose of a CHS is to record the findings of the study on the register as defined in Part 5 Division 2 of the Acts.
The Cultural Heritage Studies Guidelines (PDF, 133K)* provide a guide to the procedural issues that must be addressed in undertaking a CHS under Part 6 of the Acts. The guidelines also provide a guide to international and national procedures and guidelines for undertaking and assessing significance.
