Nominations now open for the National Heritage List

Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke MP, calls for new places to be included on the National Heritage List.

National Heritage places are of outstanding heritage value to the nation and reveal the richness and diversity of Australia’s extraordinarily natural environment. Mitchell is no exception and is home to many of these iconic places.

“National Heritage places capture the diversity of stories that have helped to shape our great nation and inform our sense of self.

“They tell the stories of our colonial history and the development of modern Australia and chart the complex cultural contributions Indigenous Australians have made to our nation, Alex Hawke said.

This year the National Heritage List has surpassed the major milestone of more than 100 places. We’re now adding to this with additional places that are important to our story as a nation.

“I would encourage people and groups in Mitchell to consider nominating places within the local area that are of historic or environmental value to be considered for addition to the list”, concluded Alex Hawke MP.

Nominations for the National Heritage List close on Friday, 6 February 2015.
