This Fact Sheet provides information about how Aboriginal people can apply to have important sites protected as Aboriginal Places under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW).

It is one of a series of Fact Sheets which have been developed for Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALCs) by the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) about different options for the protection of Aboriginal sites in NSW.

Please Note: While all care has been taken in the preparation of these Fact Sheets, they are not a substitute for legal advice in individual cases. The information in this Fact Sheet is current as of February 2015.
