Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment North Wambo Underground Mine Modification Six Aboriginal stakeholder groups provided comments on the methodology (Table 3). Cacatua Culture Consultants specified that they “...would like to have the opportunity to survey other areas that stakeholders feel might be potentially cultural significant within the survey area along with the field survey that is listed in the information supplied.” Wambo Coal responded by clarifying that the survey would be undertaken within the study area to the satisfaction of the Aboriginal Community Stakeholders. Yinaar Cultural Services agreed with the methodology. WLALC expressed their concerns regarding “mining disturbance within 2km of the Wollombi Brook area (whether it be open-cut or underground)” and the potential relationship of sites within the immediate project area to other sites beyond the spatial extent of the project area. They were also concerned about the potential impact on Aboriginal culture and heritage values with respect to the Bora Ground (AHIMS #37-6- 0056) located on the eastern side of Wollombi Brook approximately 2km to the south east of the eastern boundary of the project area, and approximately 3km from the Aboriginal cultural heritage sites identified in the project area. Wonnarua Culture Heritage expressed their support of the methodology “but would like to see the Groups involved in this project come together for a meeting to discuss the project”. The consult process for NWUMM is described in Section 2 of this report Wonnarua Nation Aboriginal Corporation expressed their support of the methodology but were concerned about protection of the Bora Ground and considered the area to be of “high Aboriginal Cultural Significance”. Yarrawalk were concerned about the proximity of the project area to the Bora Ground. The Bora Ground is located approximately 2km from the eastern boundary of the project area and will not be impacted by the NWUMM.

This roster system provides for the equitable distribution of fieldwork between the various Aboriginal community stakeholder groups registered for fieldwork at the Wambo Mine. It was determined that the next twelve groups in line on the roster would be invited out for the site inspection and would be divided into six groups per day. The twelve groups next in line were: Hunter Valley Aboriginal Corporation; Yinaar Cultural Services; Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation; Giwiirr Consultants; Wonnarua Culture Heritage; Upper Hunter Wonnarua Council Incorporated; Ungooroo Cultural & Community Services; Wonnarua Elders Council; Wonn1 Contracting; Hunter Valley Cultural Surveying; WLALC; and HTO Environment Management Services. 108453-2; October 2012 Page 10
