Re: MTN - Marathon Resources
More info, have highlighted the key bits, you had me a tee bit worried when you first posted, you must be careful with your wording old boy, the National Heritage list and the Register of National Estate are very different things
YOUR PLACE MAY BE ENTERED IN THE REGISTER OF THE NATIONAL ESTATE
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
The Register of the National Estate is Australia's national inventory of natural and cultural heritage places which are worth keeping for the future. It is compiled by the Australian Heritage Commission-the Commonwealth Government's adviser on the National Estate.
There are now more than 12 000 natural, historic and indigenous places in the Register. They come from all parts of Australia and are owned variously by Commonwealth, State and local governments, by businesses, voluntary and other organisations and by private individuals. All places entered in the Register are strictly assessed against publicly available criteria outlining national estate values.
What does it mean if you're a private owner and your property is placed in the Interim List of the Register of the National Estate, or finally entered in the Register?
Direct benefits to owners
Firstly, listing in the Register means that your place has heritage value and has met various criteria of national estate significance. Details of these criteria are in another Background Note. Copies of the 'statement of significance' from the Register database, which outlines the special national estate values of your property, are sent to you when the Commission lets you know it intends to enter your place in the Register. Information on registered places is also available on the internet (http:/www.ahc.gov.au).
Not a land management decision
Entry in the Register of the National Estate is not a land management decision. The way in which private, State and local government owners manage their national estate properties is not directly affected by listing. The Commission does not manage places in the Register and entry in the Register does not give the Commonwealth Government any rights to acquire, manage, or enter places which are private property.
No legal constraints on private owners
Entry of their property in the Register does not place any direct legal constraints on the actions of owners of private property. Owners of registered places are not required to change the way in which they manage, maintain, or dispose of, their property. Entry in the Register does not mean that owners have to give any public right of access to registered properties.
Commonwealth Government constrained by heritage listing
The Commonwealth Government is the only body whose actions are constrained as a result of listings in the Register of the National Estate.
Each place in the List is assessed by the Australian Heritage Council as having national heritage values which can be protected and managed under a range of Commonwealth powers. A place entered in the National Heritage List is a national heritage place.
Places on the list are protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This requires that approval is obtained before any action takes place which has, will have, or is likely to have, a significant impact on the national heritage values of a listed place. Proposals for actions which could affect such values will be rigorously assessed.
