— Native Title Assessment

Redleaf Group was engaged to assess Native Title and cultural heritage implications of proposed amenities upgrades at Butter Factory Park, Nanango. The site has a history of gold mining and public reserve use, with significant mature vegetation and proximity to Sandy Creek and other cultural features. The assessment addressed Aboriginal and non-Indigenous heritage risk and provided a compliance pathway consistent with relevant legislative obligations.
