What were the objectives of the archaeological heritage study?

The objectives of the Archaeological Heritage Study were to:

  • Review currently listed archaeological sites and confirm if the listings are still relevant;
  • Identify new archaeological sites through the assessment of historical studies, aerials, and maps, as well as consultation with the local community;
  • Assess the current condition of select archaeological sites;
  • Develop an inventory sheet for every archaeological site included in the study;
  • Complete digital mapping to provide site locations to Council; and
  • Make recommendations to ensure the appropriate management of significant archaeological sites, including input into the next Hornsby Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP).
