In FY25, we conducted comprehensive surveys along the Moomba Wilton Pipeline (MWP) to assess the presence of Aboriginal cultural heritage values within the MWP easement. All heritage-related SCC Remediation Project activities were executed in collaboration with First Nations stakeholders and included community meetings, on-country surveys, heritage mitigation, and monitoring of applicable APA maintenance activities. As part of this engagement, APA facilitated a dedicated fieldbased training program for a Traditional Owner group, led by both Elders and APA archaeologists. The program was intended to enhance awareness and capability in identifying and recording heritage values through the sharing of knowledge and technology.
