Heritage Consultancy

  • We provide comprehensive heritage services to guide clients through both Aboriginal and Historic (European) cultural heritage requirements with clarity, respect, and practical expertise. With a qualified Archaeologist on our team, we support projects from initial assessments to reporting and approvals, ensuring that heritage considerations are seamlessly integrated into your planning and development processes.

  • Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Assessments

    We conduct Aboriginal Due Diligence Assessments to identify whether proposed works may harm Aboriginal cultural heritage. Through desktop research, mapping, and site inspections, we assess the likelihood of heritage values being present and advise on appropriate next steps. Our assessments are prepared in accordance with the Due Diligence Code of Practice for the Protection of Aboriginal Objects in NSW, helping clients meet legislative obligations and avoid project delays.

  • Statement of Heritage Impact Assessments

    We prepare Statements of Heritage Impact to assess the potential effects of proposed works on local or state-listed heritage items or conservation areas. Our reports clearly outline the significance of the site, evaluate potential impacts, and provide practical recommendations to ensure development complies with heritage requirements. All assessments are conducted in line with NSW Heritage Council guidelines and local planning regulations.

  • Cultural Heritage and Heritage Management Plans

    We prepare Cultural Heritage Management Plans to guide the protection and management of significant Aboriginal and historic heritage sites throughout the lifecycle of a project. Our CHMPs outline strategies for avoiding, mitigating, and managing potential impacts on heritage, ensuring compliance with legislative requirements and supporting sustainable development. We work closely with stakeholders to ensure that heritage values are respected and preserved during project planning and implementation.

At McMahon Environmental Consultants, we understand that heritage services are about more than compliance. It's about preserving the stories, places, and traditions that shape our communities. We guide you through every step with expertise, integrity, and confidence.
