proposed Natural Heritage Areas

Published by Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Proposed Natural Heritage Areas (pNHA) were published on a non-statutory basis in 1995. They have not since been statutorily proposed or designated. These sites are of significance for wildlife and habitats. A process is underway to resurvey and formally designate some pNHAs as NHAs.

This is a national dataset.
