Introduction Griffith City Council has been working towards selecting and gaining approval for: an on-going solid waste disposal site (landfill) to serve the community, and for a suitable quarry for the supply of construction rock and gravel for the development industry and Council’s needs. After examining various potential sites around the area, Tharbogang was selected as the preferred site for a variety of reasons including lower environmental impact; volume of resource available; and lowest cost to the community. In terms of Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, a comprehensive environmental assessment was completed for the proposal and placed on exhibition by the Department of Planning on 10 September 2009. The exhibition period closed on 9 October 2009 with some 15 submissions being received by that time. Council arranged and held a community forum during the exhibition period and invited neighbours and the wider community to attend and express their concerns. Where possible, Council has responded to those concerns and that response is included in this submission as Appendix A. Summary details of the submissions received both during and following the exhibition period is set out below in Section 2. Clarification of the project description is provided in Section 3, while details of the issues raised and Council’s response is set out in Section 4 below. 2. Summary of Submissions Received Table 1 below sets out summary details of submissions received and referred to Council for comment. Table 1.

Indigenous oral history brings life to our community narratives and portrays so well the customs, beliefs and values of our old people. Much of our present day knowledge system relies on what has been handed down to us generation after generation. Learning through intergenerational exchange this Indigenous oral history research thesis focuses on Indigenous methodologies and ways of being. Prime to this is a focus on understanding cultural safety and protecting Indigenous spoken knowledge through intellectual property and copyright law. From an Indigenous and Wiradjuri perspective the research follows a journey of exploration into maintaining and strengthening ethical research practices based on traditional value systems. The journey looks broadly at the landscape of oral traditions both locally and internationally, so the terms Indigenous for the global experience; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander for the Australian experience; and Wiradjuri for my own tribal identity are all used within the research dialogue. ! !

Thank you for going on this journey of discovery and reflection with me.

  • 8. at the Confluence of Two Stories
    8 At the Confluence of Two Stories The Bathurst Historical Society produced two local histories in the early 1960s. One of them did not refer to Wiradjuri people. In the other, the conflicts of the 1820s were depicted as a mere flicker of the district’s candle; Bathurst began ‘as a stronghold … against a foe who virtually did not exist’.1 The society appeared to have forgotten its commemoration of Windradyne the patriot. At the same time, Percy Gresser was writing a very different history. On his retirement to Bathurst in 1953, Gresser began to donate his large collection of carefully documented stone tools to the Australian Museum and to write a history of the local Aboriginal people. He attended the 1954 ceremony at Windradyne’s grave, leaving a brief account of the day in one of his fastidiously organised notebooks. Embedded in the concrete memorial at Brucedale is a piece of carefully worked stone that Gresser described as a ‘remarkably good specimen of a large Aboriginal axe head’; he had probably donated the axe head, which had been found in the bed of nearby Clear Creek.2 Gresser’s understanding of this memorial was very different from that of some of the Bathurst Historical Society members. His intimate engagement with the landscape kept an Aboriginal presence in the forefront of his mind. For example, he knew that, all over the region, 1 Bathurst District Historical Society, A Short History of Bathurst, 1–8; Taussig, ‘How Bathurst Began’, 15. See also the work of J. P. M.
