📅 Heritage surveys and assessments - how to get involved
We regularly maintain and improve our assets to keep them running smoothly. The Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage Council and Aboriginal Heritage Officers play an important role in completing heritage surveys to prepare for these works.
We welcome your interest, input or participation in these projects at any point - to find out more, you can email Greg or Helga in Hydro Tasmania's Heritage Team.
⬇️⬇️ Here are our activities ⬇️⬇️ recently completed, currently open or planned that include a heritage survey - click on each link below for more info on what the activities involve. We recognise that your time and knowledge are precious, and you will be paid for significant participation and contributions.
Proposed Tarraleah Redevelopment - these surveys were completed in April and the draft assessment report is currently out with Aboriginal people and organisations for comment. In addition to considering physical heritage, the assessment also explored cultural landscape values and plants traditionally used for food, medicine and other cultural activities.
What is Hydro Tasmania currently doing to support Tasmanian Aboriginal people?
We're developing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commitment Statement and Action Plan.
The actions will reflect the needs and wants of Tasmanian Aboriginal people in key areas like jobs, land management, access to Country and cultural awareness and safety.
The consultation document includes more information on our commitment pillars and example actions to give you a better idea what we have in mind.
We'll share consultation opportunities and provide regular updates on this site - so bookmark it, share it and regularly check back in.
