All historical sites and places are protected under the provisions of the Heritage Act 2017. If disturbance is proposed, archaeological investigation may be required to gain consent from Heritage Victoria.
While historical archaeological sites may be registered on various databases (including the Victorian Heritage Register and the Victorian Heritage Inventory), previously undiscovered sites may also be present on your property. A due diligence assessment may help clarify potential heritage implications for your project under the legislation. Historical archaeological sites throughout Victoria can include buried 19th century foundations and artefact scatters. Places of potential historical significance can also be under Heritage Overlays (HO). TerraCulture Pty Ltd has completed a large range of historical archaeological assessments within Victoria delivering heritage management advice in compliance with state legislation. We can help you navigate interactions between historical and Aboriginal archaeological legislative requirements, which can be confusing to decipher on your own. Our specialist team are experts in undertaking excavations of both small and large sites, historical surveys, and post-excavation programs involving analysis and catalogues of artefacts recovered. Post-excavation programs are frequently mandated as part of obtaining consent to damage a site. We have an in-house laboratory for this purpose and have close connections with several conservators in Melbourne should conservation of artefacts be requested by Heritage Victoria..
