Nominations to the World Heritage List are only considered if the nominated site has already been included on the tentative list. There are 8 sites on the current tentative list which can be considered for nomination.

As indicated in the reply to Question No. 148 of 10 October 2007, my Department will be reviewing the tentative list of sites next year. The timeframe for nomination of a site newly inscribed on the tentative list would be at least twelve months from the date of inclusion on the list.
