STATEMENT OF REASONS
DECISION NOT TO PROVISIONALLY REGISTER 
NATURAL TEMPERATE GRASSLANDS AT LAWSON AND MAJURA
(Block 2 section 6 Lawson; and 
Blocks 636, 642, 660 and part Blocks 550, 564, 637, 695, 694, 692 District of Majura) 
IN THE ACT HERITAGE REGISTER
Assessment
The Council has decided not to enter Natural Temperate Grasslands at Lawson and Majura in the ACT Heritage Register because:
1.	with the exception of Block 692 Majura, the nominated area is located on National Land and, as such, the Heritage Act 2004 does not have effect; and
2.	any Natural Temperate Grassland of the Southern Tablelands and the ACT are listed ecological communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. 
Duplication of listing on the ACT Heritage Register therefore would provide no additional legal protection to the place.
