5.2.5  Non-statutory Listings

        Register of the National Estate

   Developed in 1975, the Register of the National Estate (RNE) is no longer a statutory listing; inclusion on the list does not provide any legal protection or prescriptive requirements for management. The RNE is used as a database of identified heritage places only. However, the Minister for the Environment may take into account the RNE heritage values in making a decision about a referral under the EPBC Act as part of the heritage values of the environment. The RNE ceased to be a statutory list in February 2012. The AWM and Parliament House Vista are entered in the RNE.

        National Trust of Australia (ACT)

   The National Trust of Australia (ACT) maintains a Register of Significant Heritage Places. National Trust listing is not a statutory listing and has no legal effect, but is a good indication of community concern for a place or item. The AWM is classified on the Register of the National Trust (ACT).

        Royal Australian Institute of Architects (ACT)

   The AWM is included in the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) National Heritage List and the RAIA Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture (RSTCA)—ACT List. Inclusion in the RAIA registers is not a statutory listing and has no legal effect, but it indicates recognition of the item's architectural importance to the Australian and international architectural profession. The main Memorial building is recognised in the Australian Institute of Architects' Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture.

   The Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cth) provides for the planning and development of the ACT and management of Territory Land. It was established out of

 necessity after the Commonwealth's decision to introduce self-government to the ACT, provided for by the Australian Capital Territory (Self Government) Act 1988 (Cth), which established the ACT Legislative Assembly to govern the Territory.

 The Act was designed to ensure the interests of the people of the ACT are represented and protected in the planning of the ACT while continuing Commonwealth involvement in the development of the national capital.

 The Act established the NCA (previously the National Capital Planning Authority), whose functions include:

      * preparing, administering, reviewing and (as necessary) amending the NCP;

      * fostering awareness of Canberra as the national capital and recommending to the Minister any works it considers desirable to maintain or enhance the
