CSIRO Parkes site Heritage Management Plan
Invitation for Public Comment
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), in consultation with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, is developing the Heritage Management Plan for the CSIRO Parkes site (473 Telescope Road, Parkes, NSW).
Under the Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999, CSIRO and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water invite comments on the draft heritage management plan from members of the public, indigenous people with rights and interests in the place, the local or state government agencies responsible for the site (if any), organisations or other groups with interests in the property.
Comments received will allow us to address public perceptions and concerns regarding the place prior to preparation of a Final Draft for formal submission to the Minister for Environment.
How to participate:
The consultation period is open from 2 November 2023 to 30 November 2023.
During this period, you can:
