Interim heritage orders (IHOs) allow time to fully assess a place or object’s significance and determine if a heritage listing is warranted.

Interim heritage orders can be made by the Minister for Heritage on the advice of the Heritage Council of NSW, or by local councils under authorisation. They are generally only made if there is a threat of harm.

There are limited instances where it will be appropriate for the Minister to make an interim heritage order. If you are concerned about the protection of a place or object of potential heritage significance we recommend you discuss it with the local council in the first instance. If the council is unable to make an interim heritage order contact us for further advice.
