The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (the World Heritage Convention) promotes cooperation among nations for the protection of sites around the world deemed to be of universal heritage value.

The Australian Government nominates Australian sites for entry on the World Heritage List. Nominations are assessed by the World Heritage Committee (part of UNESCO – the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) for their natural or cultural significance.

The Australian Heritage Council assesses nominations and makes recommendations to the Minister for the Environment, who makes the final decision on listing.

List sites as they are gazetted with regard to capitalision, but change punctuation to conform to the style you are using:
