Designated landscape areas

Each of the areas indicated was declared a ‘designated landscape area’ in accordance with the Cultural Record (Landscapes Queensland and Queensland Estate) Act 1987.

Under the provisions of the now repealed Act, an area was declared a ‘designated landscape area’ if it was necessary or desirable for it to be preserved to prevent or regulate access. No further areas will be declared designated landscape areas.

Areas identified as designated landscape areas are recorded on the Cultural Heritage Register as required by the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003, section 162.
