The Queensland Heritage Register is a list of places that have cultural heritage significance to the people of Queensland.

Places in the register fall into two categories:

• State Heritage Place—These places are significant as they contribute to our understanding of the wider pattern and evolution of Queensland’s history and heritage. Cultural heritage criteria are used to evaluate the significance of heritage places. More detail on the criteria can be found in the Guideline: Assessing Cultural heritage significance – Using the cultural heritage criteria (PDF, 5.5 MB).
• Protected Areas—Have strong heritage values that are vulnerable and under threat. A permit is required to enter or conduct work within a protected area.

Types of places in the register are diverse and include:

• sites of public recreation, parks and gardens
• rural homesteads, suburban houses, flats, caravan parks
• community halls, theatres, picture theatres, showgrounds
• churches, places of worship, sites of public commemoration, burial places
• commercial buildings
• government buildings including schools, police stations, courthouses, post offices
• factories, industrial sites, mining sites
• roads, bridges, railways, railway infrastructure

The Queensland Heritage Register does not include places of:

• Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage, unless the place has shared heritage values (such as the Glass House Mountains and Reconciliation Rocks). Places with Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage values are managed and protected separately (refer to the work of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Heritage Unit)
