Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Assessments for State Environmental Planning Policy (Resilience and Hazards) 2021

At Talking Walls Heritage Consultants, we provide specialised Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Assessments to support Development Applications (DAs) on land affected by the State Environmental Planning Policy (Resilience and Hazards) 2021. Under Clauses 2.10 (Coastal Environment Area) and 2.11 (Coastal Use Area), development consent cannot be granted unless the consent authority has considered whether the proposed works are likely to cause an adverse impact on Aboriginal cultural heritage, practices, or places.

Our assessments are designed to address this requirement directly by evaluating landscape sensitivity, reviewing historical and environmental context, consulting relevant registers, and undertaking targeted site inspections where needed. We provide clear, evidence-based conclusions that help satisfy the consent authority’s statutory obligations.

For proponents developing within these coastal zones, heritage clarity is essential. Our reports are precise, accessible, and written to support both applicants and councils in understanding the heritage implications of a proposal. Whether your project involves residential development, landscaping, infrastructure upgrades, coastal protection works, or tourism facilities, Talking Walls ensures your DA is backed by a rigorous assessment that minimises risk and meets the requirements of the SEPP, the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Our goal is to help your project proceed smoothly while ensuring Aboriginal cultural heritage is properly respected and protected.
