Australian Heritage Strategy The Australian Heritage Strategy recognises that heritage is diverse and encompasses natural, historic and Indigenous values. The Strategy considers ways in which Australia’s heritage places can be better identified and managed to ensure their long-term protection. It explores new opportunities to support and fund heritage places, including the potential for a national lottery. It considers how the community enjoys, commemorates and celebrates these special places and the stories that underpin them. The Strategy highlights how heritage can lead to increased tourism and economic returns to place managers or owners and their communities, and makes clear that heritage identification, protection and management is a shared responsibility with state and local governments, businesses and communities.
