IN THE ACT HERITAGE REGISTER

Assessment
The Council has decided not to enter Parliament House Vista, Parkes, in the ACT Heritage Register because:

1.	The place is located on National Land, and as such the Heritage Act 2004 does not have direct effect;

2.	The place’s heritage values are recognised and protected in the Commonwealth Heritage List (Place ID.105466), and the details of any listing are included on the ACT Heritage Database, providing public access to information about the ACT’s heritage.

Duplication of listing on the ACT Heritage Register therefore would provide no additional legal protection to the place, nor would it provide additional information to the public about the heritage of the ACT.

Council has therefore decided not to enter the place in the ACT Heritage Register.
