| Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consulting
Surveying country with modern and traditional approaches
We work in partnership with Traditional Owners and mining proponents to undertake a range of archaeological and ethnographic consultations, and provide independent data analysis and reporting.
Heritage Consulting delivered the Coongan way
Transparency and communication are fundamental in our aboriginal heritage consulting and management services.
We hold the relationships with all of the people we work with to the highest of value; from industry, to government to community.
Our team has extensive experience undertaking site-specific heritage surveys with tailored reports and deliverables, and a long history of working together with Traditional Owner representatives.
We operate with efficiency and professionalism, whilst maintaining culturally respectful approaches in every step of our processes.
