Before a referral is made, a HIA should be prepared and submitted with the referral.

AWM staff should be aware that other statutory approvals may be required, or the advice of an external heritage consultant sought. This form does not constitute a HIA.

National Capital Authority Works Approval

 The AWM is located within a Designated Area, which are managed by the National Capital Authority (NCA). A Designated Area is an area within the ACT has been identified as having the 'special characteristics of the National Capital'.

 In accordance with the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwth) (the PALM Act), the NCA is required to approve all 'works' within the Designated Areas. Any alteration to buildings or structures, demolition, landscaping or excavation works in these Designated Areas require the prior written approval of the NCA or 'Works Approval'. There are no exemptions for Works Approval under the PALM Act.

 Potential impact to heritage values is one aspect of a Works Approval application that the NCA will consider. For further information on NCA Works Approval and the National Capital Plan, refer to the Planning & Heritage section of the NCA's website: https://www.nca.gov.au/planning-heritage.
