In 1979, the ''Australia ICOMOS Charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Significance'' was adopted at a meeting of [https://australia.icomos.org/ Australia ICOMOS] ([[International Council on Monuments and Sites]]) at the historic mining town of [[Burra, South Australia]].<ref>[http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/our-places/Heritage/Conserving_our_heritage/Burra_Charter SA Department of Environment, Water & Natural Resources > The Burra Charter] Retrieved 9 January 2014.</ref> It was given the short title of ''The Burra Charter''.
The Charter accepted the philosophy and concepts of the ICOMOS ''[[Venice Charter]]'', but wrote them in a form which would be practical and useful in Australia. The Charter is periodically revised and updated, and the 2004 publication ''The Illustrated Burra Charter''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Illustrated Burra Charter|url=https://australia.icomos.org/publications/burra-charter-practice-notes/illustrated-burra-charter/|access-date=2019-08-15|website=australia.icomos.org|date=13 March 2014 }}</ref> elaborates and explains the principles of the 1999 version in an easy to understand form. In 2013 the Charter was again revised and updated.
The Burra Charter has been adopted by the [[Australian Heritage Council]] (December 2004), the [[Heritage Council of New South Wales]] (December 2004), the [[Queensland Heritage Council]] (January 2005) and the [[Heritage Council of Victoria]] (July 2010).<ref name="Burra2013">[http://australia.icomos.org/wp-content/uploads/The-Burra-Charter-2013-Adopted-31.10.2013.pdf Australia ICOMOS > The Burra Charter] Full text of the 2013 revised version of the Burra Charter.
