Stakeholders (WACS) undertook the salvage and
excavation works under the guidance of an
archaeologist.
Temporary Keeping Place
The WACS, WCPL and the Archaeologist from RPS
HSO met at WCPL in February 2009 and agreed on
a Temporary Keeping Place that was subsequently
approved by the DECCW on 14 July 2009. All
artifacts salvaged during the operation are stored at
the Temporary Keeping Place under Permit #3130
for Care and Control of Aboriginal Objects Salvaged
under Section 87/ 90 permits #2085 and #2222 in
accordance with the NPW Act (1974 as amended).
During August 2011, a staged salvage programme
was undertaken in accordance with the
requirements under Permit #2222. The salvage
programme targeted sites to the south west of North
Wambo Creek within the S87-S90 Application Area
and in the northern portion of the approved Open
Cut disturbance area.

During the previous 2010 reporting period WCPL
engaged an Archaeologist to establish an Aboriginal
Cultural Heritage Conservation Agreement for
RWEP Area A. The preparation of this document
involved consultation with local Aboriginal Groups
and the OEH and was developed in accordance
with DA305-7-2003, Schedule 4, Consent Condition
51. The agreement establishes protocols for
maintaining the cultural significance within RWEP
Area A.
