FAQs
Is there any known Aboriginal heritage in the Application Area?
Whilst Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation’s (AAR’s) central archives have no records of previously identified Aboriginal heritage within the Application Area, in April 2022 a cultural heritage survey conducted by Neale Draper & Associates (ND&A) and four Kaurna representatives identified six Aboriginal objects. See map showing the Application Area in relation to the known Aboriginal heritage.
Subsequently, the Applicant, along with ND&A, developed a draft Kaurna Cultural Heritage Management Plan (KCHMP), for managing known, as well as any discovered Aboriginal heritage, throughout the life of the project. Should the authorisations be granted to the Applicant, the KCHMP will be updated in consultation with the Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC.
In addition to its own proposed management measures, the Applicant has committed to following AAR’s Aboriginal Heritage Discovery Protocols and Heritage Impact Procedure in the event of a heritage discovery during Project works. A copy of AAR’s Aboriginal Heritage Discovery Protocols and AAR’s Heritage Impact Procedure are available on AAR's webpage.
Please refer to the Consultation Information Pack for further information about Aboriginal heritage and the Applicant’s proposed Aboriginal heritage management.

Will I be notified of the Minister’s decision?
Traditional Owners and interested Aboriginal parties who provide feedback, a submission, or simply request AAR to notify them of the Minister’s decision during the consultation, will be notified once the Minister has decided the application. The outcome of the Minister’s decision will also be published on YourSAy.
