The Heritage Council of Western Australia is the Government of Western Australia agency created to identify, conserve and promote places of cultural heritage significance in the state.
It was created under the Heritage of Western Australia Act (1990). The Council maintains the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places.
The council also records and lists places that are listed in Municipal Heritage Inventories which are significant in local communities - but which do not gain state-level status.
It is sometimes incorrectly confused with the National Trust of Western Australia which is a non-governmental body that is quite separate.
