Heritage agreements

Western Australia’s Regional Standard Heritage Agreements (RSHAs) and Indigenous Land Use Heritage Agreements.
Last updated:

A series of RSHAs were negotiated between mining peak industry groups and Native Title representative bodies, with the State Government facilitating and mediated by the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT). The RSHAs provide Aboriginal heritage protection. 

The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (the Department) asserts that the expedited procedure applies to exploratory titles based on the protection offered by RSHAs and by the combination of the regulatory procedures offered under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 and the Mining Act 1978
