Heritage NSW
Senior officers within Heritage NSW exercise delegation, to support the work of the Heritage Council in administering the Heritage Act 1977.
Check the State Heritage Inventory for who owns or manages a State Heritage Register listed item.
City of Sydney
The Heritage Council has delegated a range of regulatory functions to the City of Sydney Council. The delegation allows the City of Sydney Council to grant approvals for changes to State Heritage Register listed items where the works or activities would not have a major adverse impact or materially affect an item’s heritage values. Refer to the Material Threshold Policy for more information.
NSW Government agencies with delegation continue to make decisions for the State Heritage Register listed items they manage within the City of Sydney local government area.
The Heritage Council continues to determine applications that impact state significant archaeology and historic shipwrecks. However, the Heritage Council collaborates with the City of Sydney Council to assess and determine applications which have a relatively minor archaeological component.
