While the official notification of the Heritage Council's interest is made in writing to owners of properties, it has been proven over time that personal contact with those directly affected by the possible entry in the Register of Heritage Places is best. To this end the Heritage Council has introduced the following measures to assist owners: Appointed a full-time Register Liaison Officer to meet and talk with owners and those with an interest in a property. Increased the time available for Regional Heritage Advisers to assist owners outside the metropolitan area who have concerns about possible entry in the Register. Officers of the Council are being made available to meet with owners to address their concerns. This means that fewer assessments are being undertaken in order to increase the amount of time available to discuss issues with owners. Increased the number of assessments being completed by Officers rather than consultants so that Officers of the Heritage Council have more contact with owners from the beginning of the assessment process.
