History and tasks
With legislation of 2004 the “National Monument Council” was transformed into the “Council for National Heritage” and the establishment of a “Register for National Heritage” was decided.
The council came from the "Historical Monuments Commission" set up between 1948 and 1968, the "South African Council for National Monuments" (National Monuments Council of South Africa; 1969–1990) and the "Namibian Council for National Monuments" (National Monuments Council of Namibia ; 1990-2004). Today he is part of the “Namibian National Heritage Management Group” (Heritage Management Groups).
The NHC is based in Windhoek and has offices at Heldenacker and Twyfelfontein .
The tasks include:
- Appointment and receipt of National Monuments
- Appointment and preservation of national heritage
- Designation of nature reserves
- Approval of official coat of arms
