In order to promote the management of heritage resources at a local level, Heritage Western Cape must encourage Local Authorities to make inventories of their heritage resources and declare heritage areas in terms of Sections 30 and 31 of the National Heritage Resources Act, Act 25 of 1999, (the NHRA). HWC has accordingly made regulations to provide for the public participation process required in order to place a heritage resource on the register and to declare a heritage area. These regulations are accordingly being published for comment from the general public.
