Abstract
All archaeology in Australia is governed by some form of cultural heritage regulation within three concentric regulatory frameworks: federal; state; and local government. Both federal and state levels involve various pieces of legislation that mandate how heritage sites and resources are to be protected under law. Local regulation typically takes the form of municipal planning schemes or other permit processes by town, city or shire councils that involve considering heritage places and items as components of development. These local or municipal planning schemes are still tied to State level legislative frameworks for planning development and protecting heritage sites.
