The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Tharwa Village Precinct (the Precinct) against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s10 of the Heritage Act 2004. This report is based on the nomination document supplied by the National Trust as a part of an ACT Heritage Grant for the Tharwa Heritage Survey Stage Two in 2003. It has been modified and updated by ACT Heritage where appropriate. HISTORY Aboriginal History The Ngunnawal people are traditionally affiliated with the lands within the Canberra region. In this citation, ‘Aboriginal community’ refers to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal groups within the ACT who draw significance from the place. Whilst the term ‘Aboriginal community’ acknowledges these groups in the ACT, it is recognised that their traditional territories extend outside contemporary borders.
