A.C.N. 004 370 302 Ground Floor 601 Doncaster Road Doncaster, 3108 Date: April 2010 An assessment of potential impacts to Indigenous Heritage items from the amended cell pit design for the Wagga Wagga Quarry. Commissioned by Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd. December 2008 Mills Archaeological and Heritage Services Pty Ltd 4 Devonshire Street Kiama NSW 2533 Ph: 02 42332133 Fax: 02 42332033 Mobile: 0429602091 Email: [email protected] 1 1. Consultancy brief Hansen Construction Materials Pty Ltd engaged Mills Archaeological Heritage Services to review changes made to the cell design of the proposed expansion of the Wagga Wagga Quarry to determine whether or not these changes would impact Aboriginal Heritage sites. This assessment of potential impacts is based on the review of the archaeological heritage report prepared by Kelton 2007. Kelton’s report is titled An Aboriginal Archaeological Study Of The Proposed Extension To The Wagga Quarry, Roach Road, Wagga Wagga, NSW. 2. Review of archaeological investigations conducted by Kelton (2007) Kelton conducted an Aboriginal archaeological heritage assessment of the proposed extension of the Wagga Wagga Quarry in 2007 (Fig 1). This archaeological assessment included: • A search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) database. • Consultation with Wagga Wagga LALC and Aboriginal Community. • A full on foot field assessment of the proposed impact area. • Preparation of an archaeological report which met the requirements of the Department of Conservation and Climate Change (DECC) 3. Results of archaeological assessment Kelton (2007) • No Aboriginal ‘sites’ (currently defined as ‘Aboriginal objects’ under the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Act 1974) or areas of potential archaeological deposit (PADs) were identified during the field survey. • Wagga Wagga Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), confirmed that no Aboriginal ‘sites’ or places of significance to the local Aboriginal community are located within or adjacent to the survey area. • A geomorphological assessment conducted by Dr Ken Page of Charles Sturt University (2005) indicated that there is no likelihood of sub-surface Pleistocene archaeological deposits occurring within the river channel and adjacent alluvial terrace locations within the study area. 4. Constraints identified by Kelton and Wagga Wagga LALC. As no Aboriginal archaeological or anthropological constraints were identified within the bounds of the proposed impact area, Kelton recommended that the proposed Wagga Quarry extension should proceed without further Aboriginal archaeological investigation. Kelton stated that the potential for Aboriginal burial sites to occur within the sub-surface deposit could not be completely eliminated. Therefore Kelton recommended that the following strategy should be implemented if skeletal material was identified during earthworks: • all work should cease immediately in the vicinity of the skeletal material • work should not recommence at the location until such time as a DECC archaeologist and/or physical anthropologist has inspected the remains and given the approval for work to recommence. 2 5. Assessment of potential impact to Aboriginal Heritage from changes to the cell design for the Wagga Wagga Quarry. The following assessment of potential impacts to Aboriginal Cultural Heritage is based on a review of the revised cell pit locations provided to the consultant by Hanson (2008) and presented in this document as Figure 2 and the review of the Archaeological Report on the project reviewed in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this report. • There have been no changes to the external boundaries of the proposed quarry area surveyed by Kelton in 2007. Although minor changes have been made to the cell pit design within the external quarry boundaries, all changes to the internal dimensions and location of cell pits in the revised proposal area wholly within the surveyed area. • All amended cell pits areas are within the boundaries of the archaeological survey conducted by Kelton in 2007. No Aboriginal cultural heritage sites were identified within the area assessed by Kelton. Wagga Wagga LALC and Aboriginal Community identified no sites or areas of cultural heritage significance within the survey area.. 6. Conclusions Amendments to the locations and dimensions of cell pits within the Wagga Wagga Quarry Extensions as shown on Figure 2 have no potential to impact Aboriginal Sites or PADS. 7. Constraints The constraint identified by Kelton regarding possible exposure of skeletal material during earthworks is endorsed. The following strategy should be implemented if skeletal material is identified during earthworks. • all work should cease immediately in the vicinity of the skeletal material • work should not recommence at the location until such time as a DECC and/or physical anthropologist has inspected the remains and given the approval for work to recommence. 3 Figure 1: Area surveyed by Kelton 2007 4 Figure 2: Amended cell pit locations and dimensions Hanson (2008) 5 AN ABORIGINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE PROPOSED EXTENSION TO THE WAGGA QUARRY, ROACH ROAD, WAGGA WAGGA, NSW A report to Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd Report by Central West Archaeological and Heritage Services PO Box 242, Tumbarumba NSW 2653 Phone: (02) 6948 3927 Email: [email protected] April 2007 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page No. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 3 1.1 AIMS OF INVESTIGATION 4 1.2 ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY CONSULTATION 4 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 6 3.0 LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL OBSERVATIONS 7 4.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 11 5.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL 18 SENSITIVITY & POTENTIAL 6.0 SURVEY METHODOLOGY & COVERAGE 20 7.0 DEFINITION OF SITES AND ESTABLISHING 25 SITE BOUNDARIES 8.0 SURVEY RESULTS 26 9.0 DISCUSSION 27 10.0 CONCLUSIONS 28 11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 29 12.0 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS & OBLIGATIONS 30 TABLE OF CONTENTS (CONT'D) Page No. REFERENCES 31 GLOSSARY OF TERMS 34 PLATES TABLES TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF SURVEY AREA SURFACE 22 COVERAGE & EFFECTIVE COVERAGE ASSESSMENT TABLE 2 GUIDE TO SURFACE VISIBILITY 23 ASSESSMENT APPENDICES APPENDIX 1 COPY OF STATEMENT OF CONSULTATION BY WAGGA WAGGA LOCAL ABORIGINAL LAND COUNCIL APPENDIX 2 COPY OF THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL REPORT BY PAGE (2005) FIGURES FIGURE 1 SURVEY AREA LOCALITY MAP FIGURE 2 SURVEY AREA MAP FIGURE 3 SURVEY AREA COVERAGE Pt? ro\ 'favistock r1810-3 8 'St d Isl !') - 523633 ': , l?g uB t 381g9t Figure1 SurveyArea LocalityMap l Map:WaggaWagga 8327-t-N i + + + + + + + t + + t * I + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Existing t,tuarrylnfrastructure + + % + + -/i + + + + \"t + + + Legend ProposedQuarry Pits Cp a|rtn + + + + F survevArea r .t WAGGA WAGGA OUARRY Figure2 CELL PIT DESIGN MODEL SurveyArea Map PREPARED BY P BROWNE Plan:Courtesy Hansen Construction X SCALE1:l25OO M DATEL7ltl2AO7 MaterialsPty Ltd AN ABORIGINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE PROPOSED WAGGA QUARRY EXTENSION, ROACH ROAD, WAGGA WAGGA, NSW Central West Archaeological & Heritage Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd proposes an approximately 40 hectare extension of the existing Wagga Quarry which is located at the northern end of Roach Road, Wagga Wagga (see Figure 1). The quarry, which is situated on the southern side of the Murrumbidgee River on the western outskirts of Wagga Wagga, currently exploits alluvial river sand and gravel deposits within the alluvial floodplain - river valley (see Figures 1&2). Central West Archaeological and Heritage Services (‘the consultant’) was commissioned by Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd (‘the client’) to conduct an Aboriginal archaeological heritage study of the site for the proposed development. The Aboriginal archaeological study will form a component of an environmental assessment report currently being prepared by the client for consideration by the relevant consent authority. The field survey was carried out by Jim Kelton of Central West Archaeological & Heritage Services Pty Ltd on 11th March 2007. A search of the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) Aboriginal site database (2006) revealed that there are no known (database listed) Aboriginal sites located within a 2 kilometre radius of the quarry survey area. Aboriginal Heritage Survey Results No Aboriginal ‘sites’ (currently defined as ‘Aboriginal objects’ under the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Act 1974) (NPW Act 1974) were found during the field survey and no areas of potential archaeological deposit (PADs) were identified (see Section 9). The landform based archaeological sensitivity assessment for the survey area indicated that the survey area floodplain locality would generally be considered to be archaeologically sensitive. However, given the close proximity of the survey area to the Murrumbidgee River and its vulnerability to an almost annual flooding regime (prior to the regulation of the river and its tributaries), the consultant concluded that the level of archaeological sensitivity of the survey area’s river bank and floodplain terraces was considerably reduced. These conclusions are also supported by a geomorphological report by Dr Ken Page of Charles Sturt University (2005) (see Appendix 2). Field survey observations combined with the consultant’s experience at other

  • Wagga Wagga City Council Wagga Wagga and North Wagga Murrumbidgee River Levee Upgrade Review of Environmental Factors
    Fpitch Wagga Wagga City Council Wagga Wagga and North Wagga Murrumbidgee River Levee Upgrade Review of Environmental Factors 7 August 2013 Acknowledgement Wagga Wagga City Council has prepared this document with financial assistance from the NSW Government through its Floodplain Management Program. This document does not necessarily represent the opinions of the NSW Government or the Office of Environment and Heritage. GHD | Report for Wagga Wagga City Council - Wagga Wagga and North Wagga Murrumbidgee River Levee Upgrade, 23/14536 | i Executive summary This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out at the end of this report (page 163) and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the report. The proposal Wagga Wagga City Council proposes to upgrade the Wagga Wagga and North Wagga Wagga levees along the Murrumbidgee River, including the Main City Levee, North Wagga Wagga Levee and East Street (Bank Two) Levee. The proposal is required to increase the level of flood protection for residents and businesses of Wagga Wagga. The proposal would raise the Main City Levee to provide flood protection for up to a 100 year average recurrence interval (ARI) flood event, and would raise the North Wagga Wagga Levee and East Street (Bank Two) Levee to provide flood protection for up to a 20 year ARI flood event. Key features of the proposal include: Constructing the following levee types, with average increases in height of 66 centimetres to 83 centimetres: – Embankment levees – Sheet pile levees – Concrete wall levees – Hybrid levees (embankment/sheet pile, embankment/gabion wall and embankment/box culvert) Constructing spillways to enable large floods (higher than the proposed level of flood protection) to enter the protected areas in a controlled manner Upgrading levee crossings that are lower than the design flood protection level, or that require structural improvement.

    Tim Kurylowicz Country Labor Candidate 54 East Street North Wagga Wagga for NSW 2650 Riverina [email protected] www.riverinalabor.com.au Dear resident, Why is there not a palliative care hospice available to the residents of Wagga Wagga and the Riverina? As one of New South Wales’ largest regional communities Wagga Wagga, unlike Bathurst and Tamworth, is still waiting for a facility that would allow local people to die with dignity. The New South Wales government has refused to fund a crucial palliative care hospice in Wagga Wagga, and only has plans to fund two beds for public pa- tients at Calvary’s proposed palliative care unit. This isn’t good enough for our community. A 10-bed hospice would cost about $5 million to build - that’s less than 2% of the cost of the new Wagga Base Hospital, while the running costs for a palliative care hospice bed is half the cost of a sub-acute hospital bed. A community based hospice, associated with both Wagga Base and Calvary is a much better solution for our region. Here’s what you can do: Sign the petition on the back of this letter and collect signatures Sign the petition at www.RiverinaLabor.com.au/hospice and share this with your friends and Share on Facebook Don’t let our region be taken for granted by our state and federal members. Palliative Care Hospice in Wagga Wagga ! TO THE HONOURABLE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE SENATE IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED: This petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the Senate the absence of a palliative care hospice in the Wagga Wagga, New South Wales district.
