Everick Heritage Pty Ltd (Everick Heritage) wishes to advise that we have been engaged to undertake an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment (ACHA), including Test Excavation and potential Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) for the Weston Public School, located at Sixth Street, Weston NSW 2326 (the Project Area). School Infrastructure NSW (SINSW) (the Proponent) are proposing to construct a preschool building within the existing Weston Public School site.
The Project Area is located within the Cessnock Local Government Area.
Everick Heritage is seeking the assistance of the Aboriginal community in assessing potential impacts this Project may have on Aboriginal cultural values in the area. The consultation will be undertaken to inform the ACHA, which is required by Heritage NSW.
The proponent details are as follows:

In consideration of the Heritage NSW, Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) Guide to Investigating, Assessing and Reporting on Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in NSW 2011, and in order to ensure that they fulfil their legal and ethical obligations to identify and protect Aboriginal cultural heritage, our client has instructed us to undertake the full community consultation process recommended by DPE in their Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents (2010).
Please note that details of the Aboriginal people or organisations who register an interest in consultation will be forwarded to Heritage NSW and Mindaribba LALC. Please advise at the time of registration if you do not wish for your details to be released to the relevant organisations. If you are interested, or know of persons who may be interested, we request that you contact us by Tuesday 18 February 2025 to register your interest. Please write to:
