Comprehensive Heritage Management Services across WA

 Aboriginal cultural heritage

All Aboriginal sites are protected in WA, whether or not they have previously been identified or registered. At Ngeebril Seadragon Consultancy we can assist you to identify heritage sites that have been registered and develop a due diligence plan to determine if your proposed land use activity requires heritage approvals.

Due Diligence Assessment 

Undertaking a Due Diligence Assessment (DDA) for a project where cultural heritage may be present will:

• Save you time and money.
• Assist in avoiding unintended harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage places or objects.
• Help you maintain positive relationships with all Aboriginal stakeholders.
• Provide certainty to landowners, land managers, and developers to ensure that you are meeting legal obligations.

Our experience at Ngeebril Seadragon Consultancy can help you develop a due diligence plan for your project which will find a balance between land use and heritage protection. Collectively, we can all work together to develop more sustainable and effective protection and conservation outcomes for Aboriginal cultural heritage.

Early engagement with Aboriginal stakeholders 

Aboriginal culture and heritage are intrinsically important to Aboriginal people. It is comprised of tangible and intangible cultural assets within local landscapes and these are of immense cultural, scientific, educational, and historic interest to all Australians.

Just as importantly it provides Aboriginal people with an important link to their past, and present and forms the foundation of their identity.

Early engagement with Aboriginal stakeholders should be considered a critical element in your land use planning process to ensure that you meet your legal obligations under Aboriginal heritage protection laws. Protecting heritage is our collective responsibility and early engagement can identify cost-effective heritage impact mitigation strategies and creates a smoother approvals pathway.
