About the Australian Heritage Places Inventory

The Australian Heritage Places Inventory contains summary information about places listed in State, Territory and Commonwealth Heritage Registers and Lists. The information is updated regularly.

This Australian Heritage Places Inventory includes:

1. A search page for searches by database number, place name, street address, town, and local government area. Key word searches are also available for the statements of significance and the descriptions. Users may also limit their searches to a particular state or database.

2. A results page. The search returns a list of places including place name, address, local government area and the name of the parent database. A link from this page will take the use to the 'metadata' information.

3. A 'metadata' or full summary information page. The metadata includes all summary information posted by the originating database. This includes the unique database number, the place name, the location and the Local Government Area. It may also include a statement of significance and a description of the place where these exist and a URL.

4. Link to the Parent database - either the individual record, the State database search page or general home page.
