Oaks Estate—heritage listing
(Question No 136)

Ms Lee asked the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, upon notice, on 24 March 2017:

(1) Have residents of Oaks Estate applied for heritage listing for their suburb for the past 16 years; if so, at what stage of the assessment process is their application.

(2) What has been the reason/s for the 16 year delay for the assessment.

(3) Have these reasons been communicated to the residents of Oaks Estate.

(4) Does section 29 of the Heritage Act require that as soon as practicable after receiving a nomination application, the Heritage Council must assess the merit of each nomination application received; if so, how has “as soon as practicable” been applied in respect of Oaks Estate.

(5) What impacts do these delays have to the heritage listing status of any dwelling contained within the original application.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) a. In terms of the heritage assessment process for Oaks Estate, the Heritage Council decided at its meeting of 6 April 2017, not to include Oaks Estate on the ACT Heritage Register, as it does not meet the heritage significance criteria to a high enough degree necessary for provisional registration.

b. At the same meeting, the Heritage Council decided to provisionally register the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area on the Molonglo River, which recognises the significant Aboriginal heritage in the Oaks Estate area.
