CULTURAL HERITAGE

Priorities:

Impacts to cultural heritage values from site visitation
Inappropriate development for cultural heritage values

Causes of degradation are:

• Cultural heritage places and values degrade naturally over time
• Current management practices, such as allowing off-road vehicle and grazing access, cause cultural heritage sites to degrade
• Insufficient care or provision for protecting and preserving places valued for heritage-based tourism, despite an increased focus on tourism.
  

These problems are compounded by:

• Changing community expectations and priorities
• Lack of knowledge and appreciation of heritage sites
• Lack of cross-cultural understanding.
