The Heritage Council of Victoria recently completed a project to assist with the nomination, assessment and inclusion of ‘registered objects integral to a registered place’ in the Victorian Heritage Register, pursuant to Section 25(1)(c) of the Heritage Act 2017 (Heritage Act).

The project resulted in the development of new policy and guidance documents which provide a framework for enriching our understanding of the significance of registered places and their associated objects.

The policy and guidance documents were formally adopted by the Heritage Council on 1 October 2020 and apply to nominations to the Executive Director and recommendations made by the Executive Director after 5 November 2020.

For more information and to access the documents, please see the following link on the Heritage Council website: https://heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/heritage-protection/heritage-policy-and-guidance/
