Page i Queanbeyan Sewage Treatment Plant Upgrade, Jerrabomberra District, ACT Culltural Heritage Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) is seeking to build and operate a new sewage treatment plant (STP) at 7 Mountain Road, Jerrabomberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Although the existing STP has been upgraded several times and maintenance works are regularly undertaken, it has been determined that a significant works program is required to upgrade the STP to ensure a continued level of service that conforms to industry practice for the protection of public health and the environment, and to cater to the increasing population of the Queanbeyan-Palerang catchment area and Oaks Estate within the ACT. As a result, the Queanbeyan Sewage Treatment Plant (QSTP) is proposed to be upgraded, including the construction of a new STP within the study area. The QSTP Upgrade project would provide an appropriate level of treatment for wastewater, helping to protect public health and the environment, while also remaining affordable to the community and improving the capacity of the STP to secure the future needs of the Queanbeyan-Palerang catchment area and Oaks Estate A scoping study was submitted on the 30 July 2019 under Division 8.2.2 of the Planning and Development Act 2007 (201900029). Artefact Heritage Services Pty Ltd (Artefact Heritage) have been engaged by Arup to prepare a Cultural Heritage Assessment (CHA) for the proposed QSTP Upgrade project. The CHA would support an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the QSTP Upgrade project. Artefact Heritage have prepared this CHA in accordance with the Cultural Heritage Reporting Policy prepared by the Environment and Planning Directorate, ACT Government and the ACT Heritage Act 2004 (Heritage Act). As the ACT consultation guidelines are still in preparation at the time of the writing of this report, community consultation for the QSTP Upgrade project was conducted in accordance with the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010 (the Consultation Requirements) prepared by the NSW Department of Climate Change & Water (DECCW). The QSTP Upgrade project is also seeking an Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia’s (ISCA) rating under Version 1.2 of the IS rating tool, therefore this CHA has also been informed by the ISCA (2018) IS Technical Manual Version 1.2. Findings and recommendation It was found that: • A total of five previously identified Aboriginal sites are present within the study area. These include: o ‘Oaks Estate 1’, a scatter of flaked stone artefacts in a disturbed context in Block 2087 o ‘MOL PAD’, an area of archaeological potential in Block 1036 and part of Block 2067. It is noted that the ACT Heritage maps identify ‘MOL PAD’ as being within Block 1036, however the description for ‘MOL PAD’ included on the ACT Heritage Register (ACTHR) listing for ‘Aboriginal Places of the District of Jerrabomberra (Heritage ID 1166) states that it is also located within the undeveloped part of Block 2087 o ‘Aboriginal Places in the District of Jerrabomberra’, a listed heritage item on the ACTHR (Heritage ID 1166), which includes several Aboriginal sites including ‘Oaks Estate 1’ o ‘King Billy’s Cottage site’, the residence of Jimmy Clements which is suggested to have been within the study area and has been nominated for provisional registration on the ACTHR (Heritage ID 280) Page i Queanbeyan Sewage Treatment Plant Upgrade, Jerrabomberra District, ACT Culltural Heritage Assessment o ‘Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River’, a listed item on the ACTHR which consists of a large cultural area identified as having moderate archaeological potential and which includes several artefact scatters • There are no registered items on the World Heritage List (WHL), National Heritage List (NHL), Commonwealth Heritage List (CHL), National Trust of Australia Register (NTAR) or Register of the National Estate (RNE) within the study area • ‘Oaks Estate 1’ has been disturbed by previous activities associated with the STP. No evidence of the artefact scatter was observed during the site inspection. The area of higher archaeological potential to the west which is described as part of ‘Oaks Estate 1’ remains relatively undisturbed however • The site inspection identified an area of high archaeological potential and moderate significance, ‘QSTP PAD’, in the southwest corner of the study area in the undeveloped portion of Blocks 2087 and 1036. This area includes part of ‘MOL PAD’ and the area of higher archaeological potential described as part of ‘Oaks Estate 1’ • The literature review was not able to confirm that Jimmy Clements’ residence (‘King Billy’s Cottage site) was ever present in the study area. If Clements’ residence was within the study area, then it has likely been substantially impacted and/or removed as a result of previous ground disturbances associated with the construction, operation and expansion of the STP • Only one of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century residences remain in the study area, which is associated with ‘Mountain Road Cottage and stable’. However, this building has not been assessed as being of heritage significance. No other intact remnant remains were identified during the site inspection • Works associated with the construction, operation, and expansion of the STP have resulted in substantial ground disturbance across most of the study area • The study area has Aboriginal cultural heritage value for its location along the Molonglo River, which was an important pathway and meeting place • Landscape elements and the existing Mountain Road alignment was noted by the Molonglo Conservation Group as being important to the history and legibility of the site • The study area generally has nil to low non-Aboriginal archaeological potential and low Aboriginal archaeological potential (with the exception of ‘QSTP PAD’) • The proposed works would not impact ‘QSTP PAD’ or the five Aboriginal sites identified above • Overall, it is not expected that the proposed works would result in impacts to intact and significant Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal archaeological remains • Further investigation is required of ’QSTP PAD’ if works would be undertaken within this area of archaeological potential. As no works would be undertaken within ’QSTP PAD’ for the QSTP Upgrade project however, no further investigation is currently required as part of this project. Page ii Queanbeyan Sewage Treatment Plant Upgrade, Jerrabomberra District, ACT Culltural Heritage Assessment It is recommended that: • A copy of this report must be submitted to ACT Heritage Council for review and comment • No further investigation of ’QSTP PAD’ needs to be undertaken as part of the QSTP Upgrade project as it would not be impacted. Should works be proposed at a later stage which would potentially impact ‘QSTP PAD’ then further investigation would be required • This CHA makes no recommendations for any new sites to be nominated for inclusion on the ACTHR. It is assessed that the area of ‘QSTP PAD’ is already sufficiently covered by ‘MOL PAD’ and ‘Oaks Estate 1’ • Although it has not been assessed as being of heritage significance, the brick building associated with Mountain Road Cottage and stable should be maintained where practicable to conserve its association with the historical development of the study area • Maintain the Mountain Road alignment where practicable to conserve its association with the historical development of the study area during the late nineteenth century

  • Why We Called Them What We Called Them
    The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. Why we called them what we called them. The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. A lot of thought and research has gone into the naming of Googong North’s streets, parks and playgrounds. So we thought we’d share the stories behind these names that may have already become such a familiar part of your life at Googong. The stories are all rooted in the region’s history. Googong’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces celebrate the rich history of the natural indigenous custodians of the land. The streets pay homage to the early settlers of the region, as well as places and personalities from more recent history. We hope you enjoy discovering a little more about the pre-Googonian era! 1 Googong North streets, parks and playgrounds CONTENTS STREETS GOOGONG’S NGUNAWAL A H N PAST Aitken Street 3 Hale Street 10 Nano Street 17 Alchin Street 3 Hanns Street 10 Nellie Street 17 Bunburung Thina 24 Amy Alley 3 Hawes Street 10 Newton Street 17 Annlouise Lane 3 Hawke Street 10 Norma Street 17 Nangi Pimble 24 Aprasia Avenue 3 Hearne Street 10 Ayliffe Street 3 Heath Lane 10 O Yerradhang Nguru 25 Heazlett Street 10 O’Hara Lane 17 B Helen Circuit 11 Munnagai Woggabaliri 25 Bailey Crescent 4 Henshaw Street 11 Baker Crescent 4 Hopkins Street 11 P The original residents Bambridge Parade 4 Hopper Walk 11 Percival Road 18 and their rich history 25 Banks Street 4 Pickering Street 18 Baxter Loop 4 I Plummer Street 18 Pollack Street 18 Beltana Avenue 4 Ida Lane 11 Beltana

  • Uriarra Loop Walk, Part of the Murrumbidgee River Corridor
    The Explore Program is growing with the addition of a Feature Walk. Each Feature walk will profile one of our great self-guided walks, which allow you to explore different parts of Canberra’s parks and natural heritage at your leisure. Uriarra Loop Walk, part of the Murrumbidgee River Corridor From the northern end of the Uriarra East Picnic area, follow the marker posts downstream and adjacent to the Murrumbidgee River. In some places, the track is very close to the river and other times it passes small rocky cliff lines. Near where the Molonglo River flows into the Murrumbidgee, there is a forest of large River Oaks. The track climbs out of the forest into grazing country, with great views of the Molonglo River. Look out for ducks and White- faced Herons here. Cross the Uriarra Road and follow the road back to the picnic area. Length: 3.5 km Approximate Time: Allow 2 - 2.5 hours for the walk and to enjoy the sandy river banks and views. Grade: Mostly flat and easy. There is a steep rocky section along the Molonglo River before the track leaves the river. Facilities and Services: There are toilets, picnic tables and wood-fired BBQs at the Uriarra East and West Picnic areas. The walking trail is marked by a series of totems though some may be obscured by grass. Interpretive signage is being upgraded to provide more information to walkers. You can download a brochure on the Murrumbidgee River Corridor from the TAMS website. What will I discover? You may find some Prickly Grevillea flowering.

The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s 10 of the Heritage Act 2004. 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. These places attest to a rich history of Aboriginal connection to the area. Traditional Aboriginal society in Canberra during the nineteenth century suffered from dramatic depopulation and alienation from traditional land based resources, although some important social institutions like intertribal gatherings and corroborees were retained to a degree at least until the 1860s.

    EXHIBITION CATALOGUE MESSAGE FROM OUR CO-CHAIRS In 2019 we are celebrating 10 years of the Schools Reconciliation Challenge (SRC)! For 10 years Reconciliation NSW has been engaging young people and schools in reconciliation. Our theme this year, Speaking and Listening from the Heart has inspired primary and high school students from across NSW and the ACT to create reconciliation-inspired art and writing for the SRC. We continue to be inspired by the contribution these young people, from many different backgrounds, make to reconciliation with their talent and insight. We thank each and every school, teacher, principal, parent and student who has taken part, guided and supported students and each other. It is thanks to their dedication that the SRC continues to grow each year. We are grateful for their hard work and commitment in ensuring that schools are key contributors to reconciliation processes. In 2019 we received 415 art and writing entries from students across NSW and the ACT, each reflecting the theme and their perspectives on Australia’s ongoing reconciliation journey. It is a privilege to see the depth of engagement, insight and commitment to reconciliation in action that students demonstrate ACKNOWLEDGMENT through their art and writing entries. OF COUNTRY The quality of the art and writing entries we received made the selection process for the exhibition Reconciliation NSW hard work. Many of the artworks were developed acknowledges the collaboratively, involving classes or groups of students traditional owners of under the guidance of local Aboriginal artists, parents Country throughout and community members.
