ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE ACT — REGULATIONS
200. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I have a supplementary question. Can
the minister please provide a time line, given stakeholders are keen to make
sure that they are ready for the commencement date, for the release of the
regulations; and, if not today, when?

AnswerView source ↗

There has been nonstop consultation
for the last few years, from the time it was envisaged that we would have a new
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act. The regulation is a co-design process. There
has been an extensive and exhaustive
consultation with all stakeholders, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal—resources,
farming, pastoralists and so forth. With regard to the regulations,
there will be a targeted consultation before the commencement of the act on 1 July.
The DEPUTY
SPEAKER : That concludes question time.
