Everick Heritage Pty Ltd (Everick Heritage) wishes to advise that we have been engaged to undertake an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment (ACHA), including Test Excavation and potential Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) for the Shortland Public School, located at Sandgate Road, Shortland NSW 2307 (the Project Area). School Infrastructure NSW (SI) (the Proponent) are proposing to construct a preschool building.
The Project Area is located within the Newcastle Local Government Area.
Everick Heritage is seeking the assistance of the Aboriginal community in assessing potential impacts this Project may have on Aboriginal cultural values in the area. The consultation will be undertaken to inform the ACHA, which is required by Heritage NSW.
The proponent details are as follows:

In consideration of the Heritage NSW, Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) Guide to Investigating, Assessing and Reporting on Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in NSW 2011, and in order to ensure that they fulfil their legal and ethical obligations to identify and protect Aboriginal cultural heritage, our client has instructed us to undertake the full community consultation process recommended by DPE in their Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents (2010).
Please note that details of the Aboriginal people or organisations who register an interest in consultation will be forwarded to Heritage NSW and Awakabal LALC. Please advise at the time of registration if you do not wish for your details to be released to the relevant organisations.
