Heritage law in Australia is an active and interesting area, but until now, it has not been given sufficiently comprehensive treatment. Heritage Law in Australia is a clear and concise text that will be of use to all those wanting a general overview of the development of heritage law in Australia.
The book offers a systematic analysis of the range of natural and cultural heritage law by discussing heritage law not only by reference to a limited set of acts of the Australian Parliaments, the 'Heritage Acts', but by illustrating what is happening more generally in environmental law and regulation.
