Heritage Legislation

Since the introduction of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and its subsequent amendment in 1998, the main focus for developing pipeline projects was on native title issues. Cultural heritage was seen as a more operational matter and not one that would affect the ability to operate or construct pipelines. With higher standards being set by the High Court for native title claimants to maintain a claim, the management of cultural heritage issues (as opposed to the protection of native title rights) are now forming a significant part of negotiations between project proponents and indigenous groups for the development of petroleum projects.State, Territory and Commonwealth legislation dealing with Aboriginal cultural heritage also provides a more immediate source of obligations on project proponents. Even when all regulatory authorities and approvals are held, this legislation can provide affected parties the ability to stop projects if proponents ignore the requirements to protect and manage Aboriginal cultural heritage.This paper briefly examines how cultural heritage issues and native title issues interact from a practical viewpoint and then goes on to provide an overview of cultural heritage legislation throughout Australia including a focus on the unique model adopted in Queensland through the introduction of the ‘cultural heritage duty of care’.This paper then provides examples of what companies will need to do to comply with statutory obligations in minimising harm to cultural heritage through examples of common inclusions in cultural heritage management plans, together with identifying issues that are often forgotten to the detriment of a project in such plans. It also points out why cultural heritage issues may need more immediate actions in comparison with native title issues for the development and construction of new petroleum projects.

The One

The various LNG projects in Queensland presented industry and traditional owners with a unique set of circumstances. On the one hand, LNG proponents were required to engage individually with traditional owner groups regarding cultural heritage. On the other hand, traditional owner groups were dealing with a variety of LNG proponents each seeking agreement about the same thing but in different ways. The paper examines this issue, considers a number of the pitfalls, and asks whether there is a case for standardising the management of cultural heritage. The current review of the Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 appears to support this approach. This paper will also look at the various ways cultural heritage has been managed in Queensland, as well as in other states and territories, and assesses whether there really is a better way for proponents in the oil and gas industry to manage this issue. Paul Travers was responsible for developing Queensland’s Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. He also drafted the Aboriginal cultural heritage duty of care and cultural heritage management guidelines under the legislation. He has worked with LNG proponents and traditional owners in relation to LNG projects in Queensland. He brings an interesting and unique take on the essential elements of successful cultural heritage management.

Over Time

Cairns: graves, clearances or both, a seminar held at the Museum of Archaeology, University of Stavanger, in February 2017, attempted to look beyond the traditional concept of cairns as objects resulting from specific or single activities, focusing instead on the idea of a more fluid symbolism, constantly changing over time. This article seeks to build upon the questions and themes raised at the seminar, combining traditional definitions of cairns with the results of more recent research. The results will then be discussed in a broader, Scandinavian context. The aim is to draw attention to the idea that cairns are the product of various ongoing processes, both active and symbolic, and that these processes continuously redefine the relevance and meaning of cairns to society. The article will also draw attention to the results of more recent research and the implications they have for the field of cultural heritage management, both administratively and practically, and cultural heritage legislation in general in Norway.

Heritage Legislation

SummaryCultural heritage legislation and management commenced in Nigeria seventy years ago. Nonetheless, the Nigerian commission for museums and monuments remains a marginal institution without adequate resources to manage and protect the country's cultural heritage. The consolidating legislation of 1979 was hurriedly enacted and has many defects. The sanctions and protective measures enshrined in the Act are now hopelessly inadequate. In short, the legislation is in need of urgent revision and re-enactment. The cultural heritage managers need to evince a greater commitment and a higher sense of probity than hitherto in order to have a comprehensive cultural heritage management programme for the country. Cultural heritage management in Nigeria today is neither well organized nor co-ordinated. The authorities must appreciate that cultural heritage management has an ideological basis, which is sustaining the cultural identity of a people.

PurposeOver a century of state-sponsored construction of monuments, historic mythmaking and nationalist framings of WWI has ensured that it has become notoriously difficult to present the heritage of the Great War in an inclusive and non-selective way. In this paper the authors present a strategy and technology-driven solutions to overcome the selective heritage curation of modern conflict.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on a suite of tools, applications and cultural heritage management plans developed by the In Flanders Fields Museum (IFFM), this paper explores the challenges of preserving and curating conflict heritage. The authors investigate the philosophy, cultural heritage management strategies and exhibitions used to curate the heritage of the Ypres Salient (Belgium).FindingsThe paper argues that historical aerial photographs integrated in multimedia exhibits present themselves as a fascinating source bringing the landscape within the walls of the museum. Mobile augmented reality (AR) applications developed by the museum go one step beyond and bring museum techniques to the landscape.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper presents a strategy to present, manage and curate the entirety of conflict heritage from the modern period. Faced with growing politicisation and memorialisation of modern conflict, it is extremely important that inclusive heritage management and curation is insured. The reflections on different curatorial techniques used by the IFFM can contribute globally towards a better heritage engagement.Practical implicationsAn innovative and meaningful framework enables a more historically nuanced visitor experience to key heritage sites throughout the Ypres Salient.Social implicationsEnsuring a non-selective heritage experience is especially pressing today. Over the past century canonised and national narratives have prescribed our understanding of the First World War across Europe and beyond.Originality/valueAdopting a critical stance towards the proliferation in AR apps and applying theories from anthropology and phenomenology has been developed combining AR with arboreal landscape relics.

Aboriginal Groups

The South West Queensland Pipeline project has set a new benchmark for Aboriginal involvement in corridor project planning and construction in Australia.Before the final pipeline alignment was decided, Tenneco Energy Australia (now Epic Energy), the Queensland Government and the Goolburri Aboriginal Corporation Land Council arranged for Aboriginal Researchers to conduct a foot survey along a 200 in wide corridor for the full 756 km of the pipeline route. The final alignment was selected to avoid all cultural heritage sites identified by the Aboriginal Researchers.At the commencement of the construction phase, a Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) covering construction activities was developed. Key components were as follows:Goolburri Aboriginal Corporation Land Council engaged as a service provider to provide Aboriginal Researchers, a Cultural Heritage Management Officer (CHMO), and an auditor for the project;Four Aboriginal monitors to be present on the project during clear, grade and trenching activities;An archaeologist to be present on the project to coordinate Aboriginal monitoring and cultural heritage management activities;A cultural heritage management audit to be conducted at the end of each four-week work cycle to identify non-conformances with the CHMP and recommend improvements;Cultural awareness training to be undertaken by the workforce and presented by Aboriginal representatives; andInstant dismissal provisions for serious infringements of the CHMP.The cultural heritage clearance process and the CHMP were probably the most extensive ever implemented for a pipeline project in Australia in terms of the extent and nature of Aboriginal involvement. Despite this, there was ongoing concern about whether the appropriate Aboriginal groups were being involved in the project. Cultural heritage management of the project became linked to the question of traditional association with the land and native title rights. Disparate views about the rights of different Aboriginal groups continually emerged.Of particular note was a tribal boundary dispute which resulted in prematurely closing down the first cycle of construction and leapfrogging the 108 km stretch under dispute to provide Aboriginal groups with time to resolve the issue. This action directly resulted in additional project costs (construction rescheduling and backtracking crews) in the order of $5 million.This case study will look particularly at:the process of cultural clearance and cultural heritage management which evolved for the project;issues associated with establishing appropriate Aboriginal representation for involvement in the project;native title claims; andsuggestions for improving management of native title, cultural heritage and Aboriginal involvement issues for future projects.

Cultural Heritage Objects

The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the main geodetic databases of Lithuania and to create a geodetic database of cultural heritage objects in Klaipėda using program ArcGIS 9.3. The problem is that the geodetic database storing graphical and attributive information about cultural heritage in Klaipeda city has not been created yet. Thus, in order to incorporate GIS technologies into the management of cultural heritage, starting the creation of such a database seems to be a relevant point. The fully completed and regularly updated geodetic database can be used for cultural heritage management, planning, design, road construction, etc. Therefore, the following objectives have been set: 1) describing geo-data collection and input devices; 2) stimulating the geodetic database that introduces information about buildings, building complexes, cemeteries, locations of archaeological and cultural heritage; 3) giving a detailed description of the database creation process; 4) analyzing the need for establishing a geodetic database of cultural heritage objects in Klaipėda. Santrauka Lietuvoje GIS pagrindu sukurta daug įvairiems tikslams skirtų georeferencinių bei teminių erdvinių duomenų rinkinių. Viena iš šių rinkinių panaudojimo sričių – valstybės registruose esančių duomenų kaupimas. Tokiu principu yra sukurta Kultūros vertybių registro duomenų bazė, kurios pagrindiniai duomenys buvo panaudoti kuriant Klaipėdos miesto kultūros paveldo objektų erdvinių duomenų rinkinį. Siekiant kuo operatyviau įtraukti GIS technologijas į kultūros paveldo objektų tvarkybą, aktualu Klaipėdoje pradėti kurti kultūros paveldo objektų erdvinių duomenų rinkinį. Nuolat atnaujinamas erdvinių duomenų rinkinys palengvins įvairių sričių specialistų atliekamus kultūros paveldo objektų administravimo, teritorijų planavimo, projektavimo, kelių tiesimo ir kitus darbus. Резюме В Литве на основе ГИС для различных целей создано множество гео-ссылок, а также тематических наборов пространственных данных. Область использования одного из множеств – сбор данных, имеющихся в государственном учете. По такому принципу создана регистрационная база культурных ценностей, основные данные которой были использованы при создании набора пространственных данных объектов культурного наследия города Клайпеды. С целью оперативно обеспечить управление объектами культурного наследия технологиями ГИС следует начать создание набора пространственных данных объектов культурного наследия в Клайпеде. Полностью заполненный и постоянно обновляемый набор пространственных данных облегчит работу специалистов в различных областях: администрировании объектов культурного наследия, планировании территорий, проектировании, строительстве дорог и других.
