Canberra's heritage system will be the subject of a parliamentary inquiry, which follows the ACT Heritage Minister revealing she had lost confidence in the territory's heritage council.

The Legislative Assembly's standing committee on environment, climate change and biodiversity will consider the ACT's heritage laws, effectiveness and structure of the heritage council and the resourcing for the government's heritage unit.
