Heritage-registered places

Cultural heritage is based on aspects of our past that we want to keep, appreciate and enjoy today and to pass on to future generations. Those aspects of our past might evoke special meaning for us as individuals or as members of a community, and reflect particular customs or beliefs.

Legislation provides for a system to protect historical cultural heritage values. Once a place is entered in the Queensland Heritage Register, anyone wanting to alter it must apply to the Queensland Heritage Council for approval. The aim is to protect significant cultural heritage places, so that they are conserved for future generations.

You must apply for a permit in writing to the department or the Queensland Heritage Council using the approved forms.

By selecting from the menu categories on the left of screen you will be directed to application forms, information sheets and guidelines relevant to a range of activities that require an approval or permit from the department or the Queensland Heritage Council.
