ABORIGINAL HERITAGE ACT 1972 — HERITAGE SITES
390. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I refer to the answer to question
without notice 240 asked by me of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in the
Legislative Council on Tuesday, 17 March 2015, which states that since 1
November 2012, 22 section 5(b) sites have changed status to ''not a site''
as a result of evaluation by the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee as part
of the section 18 application process.
(1) Has a list of
sites been created that fits the deregistration criteria established on the
basis of the State Solicitor's Office advice on section 5(b) of the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972?
(2) If yes to (1), when was it
created?
(3) If yes to (1), who created it?
(4) If yes to
(1), will the minister table this list of sites eligible under the State
Solicitor's Office advice on section 5(b) of the Aboriginal Heritage
Act 1972 to have their status changed to ''not a site''?
