Appendix F: Summary of consultation phases

  Background

  In accordance with Section 324S of the EPBC Act, the Minister responsible for the Act must make a management plan for a National Heritage place that is entirely within one or more Commonwealth areas. Old Parliament House is a National Heritage place within a Commonwealth area. Therefore, the Minister must make a management plan for Old Parliament House and Curtilage and consult with the Australian Heritage Council before finalising the plan.

  As Old Parliament House and Curtilage is also on the Commonwealth Heritage List, under Section 341S of the EPBC Act, the Commonwealth agency who own or controls the place must make a written Heritage Management Plan to protect and manage the Commonwealth Heritage values of the place. The Commonwealth agency must consult with the Minister responsible for the Act, and the Minister must consult with the Australian Heritage Council.

  After management plans for both Commonwealth and National Heritage plans are made, they must be reviewed every five years (Section 324W and Section 341X of the EPBC Act). This review must include a public consultation process.

  In 2008, the former Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA) prepared a single plan to cover both the Commonwealth and National Heritage List obligations. The completed plan was Version 1 of the Old Parliament House and Curtilage Heritage Management Plan. The consultation undertaken for each version is summarised below.
