Overall, we congratulate the government for seeking to take action on these two key issues for which options for reform are suggested in the Options Paper.
As stated in our original submission to this review, these Acts require substantial review, along with a review of the development frameworks that relate to these Acts, to ensure that the purposes of the Cultural Heritage Acts can be achieved.
We recommend the government introduces the reforms outlined in the Options Paper this term of government, and also releases the Stage 2 Options Paper this term of government, to maintain momentum in the review and reform of these important Acts.
