  • Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment Lancefield Road Precinct Structure Plan 1075 Sunbury, Victoria
    Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment Lancefield Road Precinct Structure Plan 1075 Sunbury, Victoria Report Prepared for Metropolitan Planning Authority August 2015 Matt Chamberlain Executive Summary This report presents the results of an Aboriginal heritage impact assessment of a Precinct Structure Plan areas – PSP 1075 – situated at Sunbury, just north of Melbourne. The area is known as the Lancefield Road PSP (1075), covering an area of 1100 hectares on the east and north eastern side of Sunbury. The location of the study area is shown in Map 1. The purpose of the study is to provide findings and advice with regard to the Aboriginal heritage values of the PSP area. As part of this a range of tasks were outlined by Metropolitan Planning Authority, including: • Identifying the location of known Aboriginal sites (within 10 km radius of the PSP) and any natural features in the landscape that remain places of cultural importance today; • Collecting, documenting and reviewing oral histories and Aboriginal cultural values relating to the precinct; • Identifying Areas or landforms which are likely to be of high, medium and low cultural heritage sensitivity; • Identifying locations that are considered to be significantly disturbed as defined by the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006; • Undertaking an archaeological field survey with the Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) (the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Incorporated) to locate known and anticipated Aboriginal places within the precinct, with particular focus directed

  • Wurdi Youang: an Australian Aboriginal Stone Arrangement with Possible Solar Indications
    Rock Art Research 2013 - Volume 30, Number 1, pp. 55-65. R. P. NORRIS et al. 55 KEYWORDS: Cultural astronomy – Aboriginal astronomy – Aboriginal culture – Geoglyph WURDI YOUANG: AN AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL STONE ARRANGEMENT WITH POSSIBLE SOLAR INDICATIONS Ray P. Norris, Cilla Norris, Duane W. Hamacher and Reg Abrahams Abstract. Wurdi Youang is an egg-shaped Aboriginal stone arrangement in Victoria, Austra- lia. Here we present a new survey of the site, and show that its major axis is aligned within a few degrees of east-west. We confirm a previous hypothesis that it contains alignments to the position on the horizon of the setting sun at the equinox and the solstices, and show that two independent sets of indicators are aligned in these directions. We show that these alignments are unlikely to have arisen by chance, and instead the builders of this stone arrangement ap- pear to have deliberately aligned the site on astronomically significant positions. 1. Introduction assume any similarities with other Aboriginal cultures, 1.1 Aboriginal astronomy although we refer to them to set context. It is well established that the night sky plays an important role in many Australian Aboriginal cultures 1.2 Stone arrangements (Stanbridge 1861; Mountford 1956; Haynes 1992; Stone arrangements were constructed by several Johnson 1998; Cairns and Harney 2003; Norris and Indigenous cultures across Australia, and include many Norris 2009; Norris and Hamacher 2009, 2011). As different morphologies (e.g. circles, lines, pathways, well as being associated with traditional songs and standing stones and cairns; Enright 1937; Towle 1939; ceremonies, the sky is used to regulate calendars, and Palmer 1977; Lane and Fullager 1980; Frankel 1982; mark the time of year when a particular food source Attenbrow 2002).

  • Proposal to Vary Registration of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural
    STATEMENT OF BASIS ON WHICH THE VICTORIAN ABORIGINAL HERITAGE COUNCIL CONSIDERS IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO VARY THE REGISTRATION AREA OF WURUNDJERI WOI WURRUNG CULTURAL HERITAGE ABORIGINAL CORPORATION DATE OF PROPOSAL: 7 June 2021 1 Council’s View The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council (Council) has formed the view that it would be appropriate to exercise its power pursuant to section 155 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Act) to vary the registration area of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation (WWW). The variation Council considers appropriate relates to some, but not all, of an extension of its registration area sought by WWW.1 2 Procedural Background of Proposal The following section provides a summary of the procedural steps leading to Council’s eventual substantive consideration of whether to exercise its power to vary the area of the WWW’s RAP application area. Council received a written request to vary the registration boundary from WWW in August 2020. It is to this request that this proposal relates. However, the procedural background to consideration of this request involves earlier discussions between WWW and Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC) regarding their respective registration boundaries. It is therefore useful to commence by setting out the procedural background also to the BLCAC registration boundary variation request. In 2017 BLCAC applied to Council for appointment as a registered Aboriginal party (RAP) under s 150 of the Act. Council acknowledged receipt of BLCAC’s RAP application on 24 February 2017. BLCAC’s RAP application was determined for part of the area it applied for on 19 July 2017.
