Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) For the purposes
of this Act, in consultation with any person known by the Council to have
shown a relevant interest, and with a view to providing a comprehensive data
base for the guidance of the Minister and the community in general, the
Council is charged with the duty of —
(a)
compiling, maintaining and from time to time revising a survey and record of
the places which in the view of the Council might relate to or be associated
with the cultural heritage in the State; and
(b)
assessing the condition and the cultural heritage significance of each such
place.
(2) As soon as may be
after the Council has compiled or revised a record of any place the Council
shall —
(a)
cause a copy or extract of so much of that record as relates to each place
within the local government district, together with a diagram or plan showing
the boundaries of each of the places or portions of a place affected and such
other information as will enable the place to be identified, to be deposited
with the chief executive officer of the local government concerned;
(b)
lodge with the chief executive officer of the department principally assisting
in the administration of the Land Administration Act 1997 , the Registrar
of Titles or the Registrar of Deeds and Transfers (as the case may require) a
memorial of the record relating to each such place; and
(c)
where practicable, so advise the owner.
(3) On receipt of the
memorial lodged under subsection (2)(b), such steps shall be taken by the
officer receiving that memorial as may be necessary or appropriate to bring
the relevant particulars furnished in that memorial to the attention of
persons seeking information as to the title to the land affected.
