I
refer to ‘Other Heritage Place 23323’, which is a large area of the Burrup
Peninsula originally referred for listing under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 in
2007, and later assessed according to an interpretation of ‘heritage places’
that was found to be erroneous in Robinson vs Fielding [2015] WASC 108,
and I ask: (a) what
action has been undertaken to review this finding; (b) what,
if any, outcome has been achieved from any such review; and (c) what
is the current status of the application to list this site under section 5 of
the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 ?

(a)-(c) All Aboriginal cultural heritage values of Murujuga and its boundaries are currently being assessed by the Murujuga World Heritage Committee (WHC), led by Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, in the preparation of the World Heritage nomination dossier. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage is a member of the WHC and is working with MAC to determine how information from this assessment may guide a nomination and registration of Murujuga under section 5 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA). It is likely that the area to be nominated for World Heritage Listing will include the area of ‘Other Heritage Place 23323’. It is expected that the information from this process, including the values and the boundaries, will be completed in or around 2022.
