Non-Aboriginal heritage

Non-Aboriginal heritage includes places and objects of high cultural value that contribute to a sense of history and identity for the community. It includes places and objects that are of aesthetic, archaeological, architectural, cultural, scientific or social significance.

While not typical, it can also include places or objects that have Aboriginal cultural heritage values.


Approach

The assessment of the non-Aboriginal heritage impacts of the project included multiple investigations undertaken as the project design evolved.

The potential for the project to impact non-Aboriginal heritage has been assessed by confirming the presence of the following heritage places and objects, and their values within and immediately adjacent to the project alignment:

Once the non-Aboriginal heritage places and their values were confirmed, the potential for impacts during both construction and operation of the current design was considered. As a result, additional investigations for several non-Aboriginal heritage places were undertaken due to their immediate proximity to the design. These were the:

  • Hindmarsh Cemetery and Sexton's Cottage
  • Former Thebarton Sub-Control Station (WWII bunker)
  • Brickworks Hoffman kiln.

Representative Buildings

Representative Buildings are examples of buildings that contribute to the character of an area. These were previously known as contributory Heritage places.

To determine the number of buildings, a revised area of interest – with a 50m buffer each side of the project area was applied. This revised area was applied because the potential extent for indirect vibration impact to Representative Buildings from a tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations alone are anticipated to be less. This extent also aligns with targets in the Department’s Environment and Heritage Technical Manual (EHTM), Attachment 7D, the Management of Noise and Vibration: Construction and Maintenance Activities Environmental Instruction 21.7 .

Seventy-one Representative Buildings were identified within the revised non-Aboriginal heritage area of interest. Most of these buildings are in the area near the Northern Tunnels, above the tunnel alignment where the TBMs will be operating and include:

Impacts and mitigation measures

Without suitable mitigation measures, construction of the project has the potential to cause direct and indirect impacts on the form, fabric, setting, character and heritage values of heritage places.

Direct impacts are those that may result from construction at the surface which directly affects a heritage place.

Indirect impacts are caused by project activities that don't directly interact with a non-Aboriginal heritage item or place but can still cause impact to these structures during construction or operation. Vibration, visual impacts, changes to place and settings are all potential examples of indirect impacts caused by construction or operation of the project. An evaluation of each potential non-Aboriginal heritage impact was undertaken for both the construction and operational phases of the project.

The potential impacts to non-Aboriginal heritage have been assessed by applying the Project’s assessment methodology to the non-Aboriginal heritage area of interest. The objective of this methodology is to document and assess the social and environmental (including Heritage) risks from the project and identify management and mitigation measures to reduce these risks.

Construction impacts

Key mitigation measures

Construction resulting in a direct impact (physical) to a State, Local, Representative Building or Roadside Significant Sites (RSS).

The project will:

  • engage a suitably qualified Heritage architect/specialist to undertake additional Heritage impact assessment(s) (HIA) where required
  • liaise with the relevant government agencies regarding the requirements for the Heritage sites and, if necessary, obtain any approvals and implement recommendations/requirements
  • develop and implement a Heritage Management Plan (HMP) for Heritage places directly impacted by the project. The plan(s) shall form part of the Contractor’s Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)
  • assess and implement methods to monitor and manage the risk of vibration induced damage during construction. Undertake where required pre and post construction property condition surveys
  • prepare and implement a Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (CNVMP) in accordance with the Department’s Guideline for the Management of Noise and Vibration: Construction and Maintenance
  • minimise potential for damage, then rectify damage should it occur to State, Local and Representative Heritage place or building, and arrange for the repairs/rectification required in a manner that is consistent with the character and fabric of the item should damage occur.

Construction resulting in a direct impact (physical) to a Historic and Character Area Overlay.

The project will:

  • liaise with the relevant government agencies and local council regarding the requirements for the historic and character areas and, where necessary, implement recommendations
  • seek to reduce potential impact to non-Aboriginal Heritage places during design. This includes identifying opportunities to enhance the setting and context of Heritage places within the project corridor as part of the project’s Urban Design Strategy
  • develop and implement a HMP for each Historic and Character Area Overlay directly impacted by the project.

Construction resulting in an indirect (visual) impact to a State, Local, Representative Building or RSS.

The project will:

  • engage a suitably qualified Heritage architect/specialist to undertake a HIA where required
  • liaise with the relevant government agencies regarding the requirements for the Heritage sites and, if necessary, obtain any approvals and implement recommendations/requirements
  • seek to reduce potential impact to non-Aboriginal Heritage places during design. This includes identifying opportunities to enhance the setting and context of Heritage places within the  project corridor as part of the project’s Urban Design Strategy.

Construction resulting in an indirect (vibration) impact to a State, Local, Representative Building or RSS.

Construction resulting in an indirect impact (vibration) to a historic and character area overlay.

The project will:

  • develop and implement a HMP for Heritage places indirectly impacted by the project. The plan(s) shall form part of the CEMP
  • undertake a Construction Vibration Assessment (CVA) to establish the predicted vibration levels for relevant distances from the Heritage places, then determine whether there is potential for vibration-induced damage, by comparing the predicted vibration levels against the relevant guideline values in the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN) 4150-3 Structural Vibration Part 3 – Effects of vibration on structures
  • assess and implement methods to monitor and manage the risk of vibration induced damage during construction. Confirm the need for pre and post construction property condition surveys
  • prepare and implement a CNVMP in accordance with the Department’s Guideline for the Management of Noise and Vibration: Construction and Maintenance
  • rectify damage to State, Local and Representative Heritage place or building, and arrange for the repairs/rectification required in a manner that is consistent with the character and fabric of the item should damage occur.

Construction activities or the establishment of construction sites disturbs previously undiscovered non-Aboriginal Heritage.

The project will:

  • manage undiscovered non-Aboriginal Heritage places or objects discovered during construction in accordance with requirements of the Heritage Places Act 1993
  • document in the CEMP or as sub-plan any actions required to manage undiscovered heritage and associated risks.

Operational impacts

Operational impacts are anticipated to be limited for this project as the direct and indirect impacts to State, Local, Representative Buildings, RSS and Heritage and Character Area Overlay areas will occur when the infrastructure is constructed, not once it is operating.

However, the impact assessment did identify the following operational non-Aboriginal heritage impact:

  • the State Heritage Place Hindmarsh Cemetery and Sexton's Cottage. A visual impact is anticipated to remain as a result of operating and maintaining the new bridge over the River Torrens / Karrawirra Parri.

See how impacts will be minimised or avoided for information regarding minimising impacts.

Operational impacts

Key mitigation measures

Operation (and maintenance) resulting in an indirect impact to a State, Local, Representative Building or RSS

The project will have:

  • engaged a suitably qualified Heritage architect/specialist to undertake a Heritage impact assessment(s) where required
  • liaised with the relevant government agencies regarding the requirements for the heritage sites and, if necessary, obtain any approvals and implement recommendations/requirements
  • minimised the potential impact to non-Aboriginal heritage places during design. This includes identifying opportunities to enhance the setting and context of heritage places within the project corridor as part of the project’s Urban Design Strategy.

How impacts will be minimised or avoided

During design the project has confirmed that application of the Department’s Master Specification (MS), with its links to relevant parts of the Environment and Heritage Technical Manual (EHTM) will be used to mitigate the construction and operational impacts to non-Aboriginal heritage.

Of relevance to non-Aboriginal heritage are:

The MS and EHTM require the project to develop and undertake assessments and prepare reports that document required outcomes during construction. These include:

Approvals
Approvals, permits and authorisations

Legislation/Policy

Approval

Required 

Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act)

Under the PDI Act, ‘development’ in relation to Heritage places means:

  • in relation to a State Heritage Place – the demolition, removal, conversion, alteration or painting of, or addition to, the place, or any other work that could materially affect the heritage value of the place
  • in relation to a Local Heritage Place – any work (including painting) that could materially affect the Heritage value of the place (including, in the case of a tree, any tree-damaging activity) specified by the P&D Code for the purposes of this paragraph (whether in relation to Local Heritage Places generally or in relation to the particular Local Heritage Place).

An application for development approval will be required for works that constitute ‘development’ unless the works are exempt under the PDI Act or related regulations.

Under schedule 13 of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (General) Regulations 2017 (PDI Regulations), the reconstruction (including widening), alteration, repair or maintenance of any road, where undertaken by or on behalf of a State Agency, is generally exempt from requiring development approval. This exemption does not extend in certain situations, including (but not limited to) where the works will impact on a State Heritage place, however, does extend to Local Heritage places and Representative buildings.

Any direct and potentially some indirect impacts to a State Heritage Place as part of the project will require development approval.

Direct and indirect impacts to Local Heritage Places and Representative Buildings will not require approval under the PDI Act for this project.

Heritage Places Act 1993  (HP Act)

Provides for the identification and documentation of places and related objects of State Heritage significance. Requirements for unexpected finds and permit requirements are also defined in this Act.

Part 2 of the HP Act establishes the South Australian Heritage Council (SAHC) whose function is to:

  • administer the HP Act and South Australian Heritage Register
  • provide strategic advice to the Minister for Environment and Water
  • provide strategic advice to the Minister for Planning on Heritage-related matters in the administration of the PDI Act.

Development applications in relation to State Heritage Places will be referred by the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) to SAHC for comment.
