— Cultural Heritage Assessment

Redleaf Environmental was engaged by Harrison Infrastructure Group to assess the potential cultural heritage risks associated with pavement reconstruction at Gowrie Street, Kingsthorpe. This assessment comprised a desktop search of Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage registers, a Native Title analysis, a site field survey, risk matrix assignment, and recommendations for mitigation. The purpose was to ensure compliance with the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003, Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Native Title Act 1993, and other statutory obligations, guiding works to avoid impact on both known and potential cultural values and listed sites.

• Desktop assessment of cultural heritage registers and environmental context
