Sites, imbued with mythological meaning, are of cultural, economic and spiritual significance to Aboriginal people.
Sites sustain a timeless quality, in keeping with particular features of the land.
These features, which may include large trees, rock engravings, paintings, stone arrangements, increase sites and ceremonial grounds, hold particular significance for individuals and groups. In a sense, these features, or sites, serve to connect Aboriginal people to landforms which stand as creations of what is generally known as the Dreaming. Many Aboriginal people today, continue to maintain sites, continue to look after the country. Additionally, the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority has appointed two consultants to make recommendations for a Heritage Commission in this State. Further consideration regarding a Heritage Commission will, according to AAPA officers, take place following a review which is due to be submitted to State Government at the end of 1990.
