Summary

The Environment Conservation Council was established under the Environment Conservation Council Act 1997. This Act abolished the Land Conservation Council. On 1 January 2002 the Council was replaced by the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council. From their Web site, January 2002: "The Environment Conservation Council (ECC) advises the Victorian Government on the use of public land; it makes recommendations not decisions. It investigates issues at the request of the Minister, and in doing so, takes into account resource use and social issues as well as environmental needs."

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
