Protecting Sacred Sites within the Northern Territory.
We assist with the resolution of land claims, process and facilitate applications for community living areas on pastoral properties, provide appropriate information and assistance in respect of native title applications and a range of ad hoc Aboriginal land issues and process permit applications for public servants to enter Aboriginal land and seas to provide Government services.
The Department of Lands Planning and the Environment works with the community to conserve and promote the Territory's natural and cultural heritage. It ensures that the Heritage Act is administered effectively, supports the Heritage Council, assists the owners of heritage places, promotes heritage and encourages good conservation practice, and oversees the Conservation Program for NT Government-owned heritage assets.
