2017 Bicentennial celebrations
Bicentennial celebrations were held at Woolmers, Tasmania, and the National Rose Garden in 2017.

Heritage Registers
The Australian Heritage Register, Australian states and the National Trust of Australia protect heritage gardens and trees, but local authorities normally only list and protect built properties rather than their heritage-listed gardens alone. The National Trust of Tasmania does not maintain a publicly available list of registered properties.

Similarly, the Tasmanian Heritage Register (THR) only lists addresses, without reasons why a property is heritage listed. An enquirer must apply directly to the THR office for the heritage document for each address. In 2016 the Tasmanian Heritage Council advertised that it intended to remove over 500 Hobart locations from the THR, although these properties would still be protected under local government schedules.

Similar heritage lists include the List of historic homesteads in Australia, the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, and The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty in the UK.
