Does your project Need an Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Assessment?
Why Does the Central Coast Council Require an Aboriginal Heritage Assessment?
Aboriginal heritage sites are scattered throughout the Central Coast, reflecting the rich cultural history of the region’s Indigenous communities. Across the area, you’ll find open middens near fresh water, often nestled in protected spots like valley floors and hillsides. Rock shelters, typically formed in the sandstone slopes of valleys, offer another glimpse into the past, with many facing north or northwest to catch the sun. Open campsites are harder to spot but are usually located on flat ground near water sources.
Other significant heritage features include grinding grooves, found in creek beds and around rock pools, and striking rock engravings, which appear on ridges, plateaus, and even along the coast. These sites not only tell the story of the people who lived here for thousands of years but also help us understand the importance of protecting and preserving Aboriginal heritage across the Central Coast.
