How we do our work

We carry out designation work by:

• adding, reviewing, amending and removing designations

• making minor changes to existing designation records that don’t alter what is legally designated

Our priority for designation is to provide an up-to-date understanding of sites or places to aid decision-making about potential change.

We do this by:

• responding to external designation requests

• improving the quality of our designation records and spatial data

• undertaking designation projects which address gaps in our understanding of sites or places

• developing partnerships by planning and undertaking our projects with the participation of stakeholders

Any person or organisation can request:

• the designation of a site or place

• the review of an existing designated site or place

• the removal of an existing designation

• minor changes to designation records

• a Certificate of Intention Not to List (COINTL)
