Another Australian site may be in the mix for World Heritage status after a campaign was launched for parts of Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula. Queensland Premier Steven Miles confirmed areas of the cape in the far north had been nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list, describing it as a “monumental” step.
“With the support of traditional owners, I want to see it added to the World Heritage list to recognise it alongside our other precious places like the Great Barrier Reef. “Tourists are attracted to World Heritage areas so this listing has fantastic economic potential for Queensland too.” Australia currently has 20 World Heritage-listed areas, including five in Queensland. The next step for the Cape York Peninsula is World Heritage list nomination, a process that can take five years.
