Has there been any consultation with the Indigenous groups?

Council has been working with Aboriginal Consultants and stakeholders to review conservation priorities and develop a Connecting with Country Framework to guide ongoing design refinement and development.

The preliminary Connecting with Country work is a brief outline of the discussions that took place during the onsite meetings and comments/recommendations supplied to date by the Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAP) to Wannangini Pty Ltd, the author or the report.

A preliminary Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (ACHAR) has been received with a particular focus on identified heritage items of conservation importance including a Scarred Tree on the site. Based on consultation and discussion with the RAP, the existing Scarred Tree (a dead Scribbly Gum) is proposed to be relocated and interpreted at the northern end of the northern field platform, connected with the valley landscape and bushland and providing a gathering and contemplation space.
