Notification and Registration of Aboriginal Interests

Texi Pty Ltd (the proponent) has engaged Apex Archaeology to assist in preparing an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment (ACHA) for the proposed rezoning of land along Warra Warra Road, South Nowra, NSW. The land is legally defined as Lot 2 DP 1126288 and Lot 244 DP 755952, and is located within Shoalhaven LGA.

These works may result in the application for an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment (AHIP) under Section 90 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.

A process of Aboriginal community consultation in accordance with the Aboriginal cultural heritage consultation requirements for proponents 2010 is being initiated by Apex Archaeology on behalf of the proponent.

The purpose of consultation with Aboriginal people is to gain an understanding of the significance of the study area to Aboriginal people and to assist the Department Secretary in their consideration and determination of the application.

The proponent invites Aboriginal people who hold cultural knowledge relevant to determining the cultural significance of Aboriginal objects and places within the study area to register an interest in the process of Aboriginal community consultation.

Please note that details of the Aboriginal people or organizations who register an interest in consultation will be forwarded to both Heritage NSW and the Nowra Local Aboriginal Land Council. Please advise at the time of registration if you do not wish for your details to be forwarded to either entity.

Aboriginal stakeholders can register their interest bey post to PO Box 236, Nowra, NSW 2541; via phone on 0422 179; or via rebecca@apexarchaeology.com.au. Please include the name and contact details of your preferred contact person in your registration.

The proponent's project manager is Lydia Hawke of Jervis Bay Town Planning who can be contacted via email at: mail@jervisbaytownplanning.com.au
