The Australian Capital Territory Heritage Register, also known as the Heritage Register ACT [1] was established by the Heritage Act 2004 (Heritage Act) to empower the ACT Heritage Council to record and preserve places and objects within the Australian Capital Territory. [2] Its predecessor from 1979 to 2004 was the National Trust ACT. [3]
Australia has both state and national heritage registers. [4] As of 2019, there were 415 items on the list at the Territory level and 83 at the Federal level. [5]
