Aboriginal areas

Aboriginal areas are places which have been identified as having special significance to Aboriginal people, or which contain objects of Aboriginal culture.

Aboriginal areas allow for the use of the area by Aboriginal people for cultural purposes. They are also intended to promote public understanding and appreciation of their natural and cultural values and significance to Aboriginal people, and provide opportunities for appropriate research in accordance with Aboriginal cultural values.
