About
Heritage Victoria, as part of the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning, is the Victorian State Government's principal cultural (non-Indigenous) heritage agency. Heritage Victoria identifies, protects and interprets Victoria's most significant cultural heritage resources. It advises private owners, local and State government, industry and the general community on heritage matters. Heritage Victoria's aim is to make heritage identification, protection and management accessible and easily understood.
