More than Archaeology: Developing Comprehensive Approaches to Aboriginal Heritage Management in NSW

Abstract

In NSW there is an increasing impetus for Aboriginal cultural interests to be factored into key aspects of environmental planning such as regional vegetation management. This creates many challenges, as long established methods of cultural heritage assessment based on an archaeological analysis of pre-contact sites cannot encompass all of the issues that this change represents. In contrast, creating a link between natural and cultural heritage planning requires consideration of historic and contemporary attachments to land, ongoing cultural practices and the sharing of knowledge. This article explores some of the implications of this shift for land management in NSW. Practical research conducted by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service with Aboriginal people is used to illustrate values associated with biodiversity that will need to be considered by planning bodies.
