Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment including desktop review, site inspection with representatives of the Ngulingah LALC, archaeological excavations, ongoing management advice and preparation of an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit.

TfNSW is proposing to replace a stormwater drainage pipe on a property and Crown land in far western NSW adjacent to the ancestral bank of the Murray River. Archaeological survey identified and registered a freshwater shell midden which would be impacted by the works. In consultation with the RAPs, an Archaeological Methodology was prepared to support an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) application to allow for test excavation within and close to the shell midden to determine the nature and extent of subsurface archaeological deposit and provide the RAPs and TfNSW with management and mitigation options.
