This data set contains Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Places within Western Australia that have been reported to the Registrar of Aboriginal Sites as possible Aboriginal sites within the meaning of Section 5 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. This dataset contains records that are:

Lodged: Information received in relation to a place, but an assessment was not completed to determine if it met section 5 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.

For spatial information related to Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Places, please consult Department’s map viewer https://www.wa.gov.au/government/document-collections/search-aboriginal-cultural-heritage-places-wa Note: to preserve confidentiality, the exact location and extent of some places are not displayed on the map—however a shaded region (generally with an area of at least 4km²) provides a general indication of where the place is located. Some information, including the precision of Aboriginal Place boundaries, is based on historical information provided before the use of accurate spatial referencing tools such as GPS or high-resolution mapping systems. It therefore may be inaccurate and indicative. Please check the status of the ‘boundary reliable’ field for any Aboriginal Heritage Place you are accessing. If you are aware of updated information relating to Aboriginal Heritage Places, please report this information to the Department.
