Nomination Reviews
Nomination Reviews provide an opportunity for nominators dissatisfied with a decision by the Executive Director to refuse a nomination to have that decision reviewed.
The Heritage Council of Victoria is an independent statutory body that makes decisions about the inclusion of places in the Victorian Heritage Register and the Heritage Inventory, and conducts reviews of the Executive Director’s decisions relating to permits, archaeological consents and nomination refusals.
If you would like to nominate a place or object for the Victorian Heritage Register or make changes to a registered place or object you will need to apply to Heritage Victoria, a part of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
Please note the Heritage Act 2017 commences on 1 November. Registrations and permit appeal processes which began under the Heritage Act 1995 will continue to be governed by that legislation from 1 November. Any review or hearing processes that begin after 1 November will be governed by the Heritage Act 2017.
