The Tasmanian Heritage Council and Heritage Tasmania:

• Endorses the vision of Dhawura Ngilan
• Respects the right of Indigenous peoples to share the stories they want to tell, in the ways they want to tell them, and commits to obtaining prior and informed consent from all relevant Custodians before including those stories.

The Tasmanian Heritage Register does not include places whose historic cultural significance derives solely from their cultural value to the Aboriginal people in Tasmania.
