Sacred sites in the Northern Territory are protected by both NT and Commonwealth laws, as well as township lease agreements.
The Office of Township Leasing and the Executive Director must ensure these sites are preserved, consult Traditional Owners, and prevent development that could harm culturally significant areas—even if the sites aren't formally registered.
