FAQs

The overall application area contains extensive recorded Aboriginal heritage, including Aboriginal ancestral burials, culturally modified trees, campsites and artefacts. The Gawler River (Kadlitparri), an important Kaurna cultural site, intersects the northern boundary of the northern Application Area.

The overall application area also contains 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. Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation has no records of Aboriginal heritage in the three additional areas. 

See the map of the Original Application Area (north) additional areas, showing Aboriginal heritage and HIMAs.
