CULTURAL HERITAGE

The South Coast region has a rich Aboriginal Cultural heritage with many recognised sites of importance to local Aboriginal people.  In 2014 there were 307 sites of significance across the region registered with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and protected through the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. South Coast NRM has been involved with the preparation of management plans and cultural heritage surveys through the Restoring Connections and Cultural Connections projects in partnership with the Aboriginal community and land managers.
