Unlocking Bombo Quarry:

Aboriginal Archaeological Baseline Assessment

Invitation to Register an Interest

Artefact Heritage on behalf of Transport Asset Holding Entity of New South Wales (TAHE) and Boral (the landowners) is undertaking an Aboriginal Archaeological Baseline Assessment of the Bombo Quarry Precinct. The applicants are exploring opportunities to rehabilitate the Bombo Quarry Precinct to inform future uses. The Precinct, located within the Kiama Local Government Area, comprises approximately 105 hectares of land located approximately two kilometres north of the Kiama township. The TAHE site remains an active ballast quarry which services Sydney Trains.

We are inviting registrations of interest in the project from Aboriginal groups and individuals who hold cultural knowledge relevant to determining the significance of Aboriginal objects and/or places in the locality of the Precinct. The results of consultation may be utilised for the preparation of an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (ACHAR) to support a future rehabilitation Development Application and Planning Proposal.

Please note that the consultation guidelines require us to provide details of the Registered Aboriginal Parties to Heritage NSW (formerly Office of Environment and Heritage) and the Illawarra Local Aboriginal Land Council. In your response could you please advise if you would not like your details to be provided.

Please register your interest in the project by end of day on 10/08/2023, by contacting:
