The creation of new Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage Legislation will affect many people throughout the Tasmanian community. For the Aboriginal community, this will be an opportunity for Aboriginal culture to be recognised and protected by contemporary legislation. For those who use, own or have an interest in land, it is an opportunity to ensure certainty for long term planning, whether it is for private, commercial or recreational purposes.
A Consultation Package has now been developed and released. If you would like to discuss this package, you are invited to attend one of the following forums:
- Launceston: 11am-1pm, Tuesday 28 November 2006, Tram Shed Function Centre, 4 Invermay Road
- Flinders Island: 11am-1pm, Wednesday 29 November 2006, Council Chambers, 4 Davey St, Whitemark
- Burnie: 11am-1pm, Monday 4 December 2006, Burnie Civic Centre, Wilmot St (access via Jones or King St)
- Strahan: 11am-1pm, Tuesday 5 December 2006, Customs House, The Esplanade

To assist with catering, please RSVP 3 working days before the forum you are attending on 6216 4472 or to Leah.Brown@heritage.tas.gov.au.
