Executive Director Recommendations
In accordance with Section 41 of the Heritage Act 2017 the following recommendations have been made to the Heritage Council by the Executive Director, Heritage Victoria.
Registrations & Reviews
The Heritage Council of Victoria is an independent statutory body that makes decisions about the inclusion of places in the Victorian Heritage Register and hears appeals against permits issued by Heritage Victoria.
If you would like to nominate a place or object for the Victorian Heritage Register or make changes to a registered place or object you will need to apply to Heritage Victoria, a part of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
With the commencement of the Heritage Act 2017, the Council is publishing a new set of protocols and forms to govern hearings and reviews which are now available.

Permit Reviews
Permit Appeal Hearings are conducted by the Heritage Council so that owners or custodians who are dissatisfied with a decision about a permit to alter a heritage place or object can challenge that decision and present their case in person.
