Nominate a place for entry in the Register

General information

Under Section 35 of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992 any person can apply to nominate a place for entry in the Queensland Heritage Register. The Register is a list of places or buildings of cultural heritage significance in Queensland. It gives community recognition to the value and importance of significant cultural heritage places.
