Heritage is evidence of our history. Conserving our heritage helps us to understand our past, and to contribute to the lives of future generations. It gives us a sense of continuity and belonging to the place where we live.
Our vision is for a healthy environment that is cared for and enjoyed by the whole community and sustained for future generations
We manage natural and cultural heritage and deliver programs to assist in conservation and environment protection, we build knowledge, tools and policy frameworks to inform and improve decision-making by government and others, we influence behaviour throughout the community to help protect the environment, and we regulate activities to protect the environment and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage.
