Is there any known Aboriginal heritage in the Overall Application Areas?
The Overall Application Areas contain extensive recorded Aboriginal heritage, including Aboriginal ancestral burials, culturally modified trees, campsites and artefacts. The Gawler River (Kadlitparri), an important Kaurna cultural site, also intersects the Overall Application Areas.
The Overall Application Areas also contain three areas identified by the Applicant’s heritage consultant as Heritage Impact Mitigation Areas (HIMAs), due to their high likelihood of containing sub-surface archaeological material.
For detailed information about Aboriginal heritage within the Overall Application Areas, as well as the HIMAs and the Applicant’s proposed measures to manage Aboriginal heritage during the Project, see the Consultation Notice (amended 22 December 2023) and the Consultation Information Pack (amended 22 December 2023).
New information about discovered Aboriginal objects
The Applicant recently provided AAR with new information about its discoveries of Aboriginal objects during project works between 2021 and 2023.
Information about these discoveries, as well as additional information about nearby Aboriginal sites, is now included in AAR's amended consultation materials.
Additional information about these objects following an inspection by AAR archaeologists is included in a new attachment to AAR's Consultation Information Pack.

The outcome of the Minister’s decision will also be published on YourSAy.
