Part 3—South Australian Heritage Register 13—The Register (1) The State Heritage Register continues in existence as the South Australian Heritage Register. (2) The Register is to be maintained by the Council in accordance with this Act. 14—Content of Register (1) The Register will contain a description or notes with respect to— (a) any place entered (either as a provisional or confirmed entry) in the Register under Part 4; and (b) any place taken to be entered in the Register under Schedule 1 (as enacted on the commencement of this Act); and (c) any local heritage place designated by a Development Plan; and (d) any State Heritage Area; and (e) any local heritage zone or local heritage policy area established by a Development Plan; and (f) any place within the State— (i) entered in any register of places of natural or historic significance; or (ii) declared to be a World Heritage Property, under a law of the Commonwealth; and (g) any heritage agreement; and (h) any other matter prescribed by the regulations. (2) The Council may, in relation to a place or area entered in the Register— (a) include as part of the entry for the place any tree, component or other item, feature or attribute that, in the opinion of the Council, forms part of, or contributes to, the heritage significance of the place or area; or (b) include as part of the Register any object (not necessarily being located at the relevant place or area) that is, in the opinion of the Council, an object of heritage significance. (3) Anything included or entered under subsection (2) will be taken to form part of the relevant place or area for the purposes of this Act, and this Act will apply to it in the same way as it applies to the place or area (subject to any provision made by this Act or any necessary modifications, or any modifications prescribed by the regulations in connection with the operation of this section). (4) If there is an inconsistency between the Register and a Development Plan— (a) in a case involving an entry in the Register under subsection (1)(a) or (b)—the entry in the Register will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency; (b) in a case involving a place or area that may be entered in the Register under subsection (1)(c), (d), or (e)—any provision of the Development Plan will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. (5) For the purposes of this section, the Council may— (a) alter the Register at any time to reflect any change effected under this Act or the Development Act 1993 that is relevant to information on the Register; (b) note any variation to a heritage agreement under this Act; (c) take such other steps as the Council thinks fit to keep the Register up-to-date. (6) The Council may include other information in the Register, or hold other information in association with the Register, as the Council thinks fit. (7) The Council may— (a) designate a State Heritage Place as— (i) a place of geological, palaeontological or speleological significance; or (ii) a place of archaeological significance; and (b) include that designation as part of the entry for the place in the Register. (8) The designation of a State Heritage Place as a place of geological, palaeontological or speleological significance or a place of archaeological significance may occur on or after the provisional entry of the place in the Register (or after the confirmation of that entry). 15—Register to be available for public inspection (1) The Register must be kept available for public inspection during ordinary office hours at an office designated by the Minister. (1a) The Register may be kept in the form of a computer record. (2) The Council must, on application by a member of the public, and payment of a fee fixed by the regulations, provide the applicant with a certified copy of an entry in the Register. (3) The Council may make the Register available on a website established or approved by the Council. (4) Despite a preceding subsection, if the Council considers that the public disclosure of the location of a particular place or object would put the protection or conservation of the place or object at risk, the Council may exclude the location of the place or object from public inspection or access under this section.
