- The provision of information to the public about existing Sacred Sites data through abstracts of Authority records and access to the Registers maintained by the Authority; and
- Sacred Site avoidance surveys and the issuing of Authority Certificates for any proposals of development;
- The registration of Aboriginal sacred sites.
