Unearthed Heritage

Supporting cultural heritage management and compliance.

Delivering geospatial mapping and analysis to support Unearthed Heritage’s work—contributing to the safeguards that protect Aboriginal cultural heritage in land use and development.


Challenge

Mapping and geospatial analyses play an essential role in cultural heritage assessment and compliance instruments, such as Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMPs), used in land use planning and development. To provide geographic context, visualise sensitive areas, support early decision-making, and provide the spatial clarity needed for compliance, consultation, and risk avoidance.


Solution

Our team manages a range of diverse built, environmental, biophysical and land cover datasets, as well as securely and respectfully managing sensitive heritage data. 


Impact

Our cultural heritage GIS services support Unearthed Heritage to deliver clear, accurate, and culturally informed assessments.
