Aboriginal Affairs facilitated sessions on the NSW reform process and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Information System. Interest from delegates on Indigenous cultural heritage rights and self-determination through leadership of cultural heritage management is a strong indication, there is a need for stronger protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
