Following criticisms made by the Northern Land Council, in December 2006 the legislation was revised to also allow Aboriginal Land Councils to nominate potential sites for a facility.

How do I nominate sites to the national system?

The World Heritage Convention provides a process by which governments nominate sites within their own territories for listing.

In 1986 citizens and groups nominated 3,623 separate properties, sites, and districts for inclusion on the National Register, a total of 75,000 separate properties.

But in addition, Mr. McKenna said, some serious networking will be necessary with American and international Olympics officials who nominate and select sites.

Following the passing of the 1946 New Towns' Act, ministries and county councils were asked to nominate sites.

"You have an advisory committee, and residents can nominate various sites."

The commission's executive director serves as Alabama's State Historic Preservation Officer and is responsible for nominating historic properties and sites for placement on the National Register of Historic Places and designation as National Historic Landmarks.

Currently, nations can nominate only sites that are "on their territory."
