Is there any known Aboriginal heritage in the application area?

    The application area is known to intersect Aboriginal heritage, including the Karrawirra Pari (River Torrens) and an historic Aboriginal site.

    There is potential for subsurface Aboriginal heritage to be discovered during ground-disturbing Project works.

    If granted, the authorisations would allow the Applicant (subject to conditions) to damage, disturb and/or interfere with Aboriginal heritage and to excavate land for the purposes of uncovering Aboriginal heritage.

    See the Consultation Information Pack for further information about Aboriginal heritage within and close to the application area.

    What steps is the Applicant taking to minimise the risk of impacts to Aboriginal heritage?

    The Applicant has committed to developing a Cultural Heritage Management Plan to help manage any potential heritage discoveries and impacts throughout the Project. The Applicant has further committed to following AAR’s Aboriginal Heritage Discovery Protocols if heritage is discovered during Project works.

    More information about the Applicant’s proposed heritage management measures is included in the Consultation Information Pack.

    Can I participate in this consultation if I am not Aboriginal?

    AAR’s consultation under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 (SA) is for Traditional Owners and interested Aboriginal parties only.

    Will I be notified once the Minister decides the application?

    Traditional Owners and interested Aboriginal parties who provide feedback, a submission, or simply request AAR to notify them of the decision during the consultation, will be notified of the Minister’s decision once he makes it. The outcome of his decision will also be published on YourSAy.
