Project background ISPT Pty Ltd. propose to develop a warehouse and logistics facility across five consolidated lots (combined area of 18.6ha) accessible from Clunies Ross Street and Foundation Place, in the suburbs of Prospect and Pemulwuy. The project will be assessed as a State Significant Development (SSD) under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). ISPT Pty Ltd. prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed redevelopment. Artefact Heritage prepared a Statement of Heritage Impact (SoHI) to support this EIS in May 2020 to assess the impacts of the proposed works on heritage listed items in the area, and to provide recommendations and mitigation measures to reduce potential heritage impacts. Following design changes in November 2020, Artefact Heritage has been engaged by ISPT Pty Ltd. to prepare an addendum SoHI to update the assessment of potential heritage impacts. As modifications to design are limited to a reduction in the height of warehouse 1, the addendum assessment is limited to a reassessment of visual impacts to surrounding heritage items. For a full description of all heritage items and an assessment of archaeological potential, this report should be read in conjunction with the original SoHI (Artefact 2020). 1.2 Study area The study area for the proposed works includes 44 Clunies Ross Street Prospect (Lot 10 DP 1022044, Lot 216 DP 1030744, Lot 601 DP 1047403), 615A Great Western Highway, Pemulwuy (Lot 63 DP 752051) and Boral House Clunies Ross Street, Pemulwuy (Lot 107 DP 1028208) (Figure 1). The study area is located within the Blacktown and Cumberland (former Holroyd) Local Government Areas (LGAs). The study area falls within the boundaries of the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council (Deerubbin LALC). The study area is located within the Parish of Prospect and County of Cumberland. The south eastern portion of the study area (Lot 107 DP 1028208) includes a portion of the State Heritage Register (SHR) item ‘Prospect Hill (Item # 01662)’. 1.3 Limitations This report assesses non-Aboriginal cultural heritage only. A comprehensive assessment of Aboriginal cultural heritage and archaeological values are assessed in the ACHAR prepared by Artefact Heritage in May 2020.1 1.4 Authorship This report was prepared by Jessica Horton (Heritage Consultant) and Alyce Haast (Senior Heritage Consultant), with management input and review by Sandra Wallace (Managing Director). 1 Artefact Heritage, 2020b Prospect Logistics Estate, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report, Report to ISPT Pty Ltd.
