Baldivis Grove
7 August 2025
1. Introduction
Baldivis Grove, located in Baldivis, Western Australia, is a residential development by Frasers Property Australia that aims to balance natural beauty, cultural significance, and a connected community.
The project commenced in 2014 and is due for completion in 2026. The estate will feature 369 residential lots, surrounded by landscaped open spaces, recreation areas, and community infrastructure.
Frasers Property Australia is a leading diversified property group with a legacy of more than 100 years, delivering residential, commercial, retail, and mixed-use communities across the country. As part of the global Frasers Property Group, we are driven by a deep commitment to sustainability, community connection, and long-term placemaking.
Our projects are built on values of care, respect, and responsibility, and we work collaboratively with local communities, Traditional Owners, and stakeholders to ensure meaningful and lasting impact.
2. Background to the project
On the 24 November 2023, Frasers commissioned an archaeological and ethnographic site identification heritage consultation over areas planned for development.
The Heritage Consultation was carried out by eight Gnaala Karla Booja (GKB) nominated representatives, two Aboriginal Land Services (ALS) consultants, and three Frasers representatives. The nominated GKB participants were selected by GKBAC through the GKB Cultural Advice Committee as the appropriate knowledge holders for the project area and consented to participate in the heritage survey. Upon conclusion of the Ethnographic Survey, it was identified that the Baldivis Grove (estate) is a place of Cultural Value to Aboriginal People. As such, Frasers sought to collaborate with the GKB following the recommendations given in the Ethnographic Survey which include.
• Cultural Awareness Training for all employees and contractors
• Implementation of a CHMP (Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan)
• Engagement of Cultural Monitors during ground disturbance activities
• Collaboration with the GKB on Design Principles within the Parkland
• Facilitation of a Cultural Opening Ceremony
Provided for reference in the appendices of this document are.
• Appendix 1: Ethnographic Survey
• Appendix 2: Baldivis Grove Landscape Design
3. Plan – Vision, Values
At Baldivis Grove we wish to highlight and celebrate the Cultural Value of the site.
Through a thoughtful Co-Design process, we wish to actively embed Aboriginal Cultural Values and Stories into the design of the Parklands, in collaboration with local Aboriginal Artists.
4. Cultural significance
Frasers Property Australia recognises that the Baldivis Grove site is located on land of Cultural and Spiritual importance to the Noongar people. The area has Ancestral Links, having served as a camping, trading, and gathering site for Noongar families for generations.
Through this Expression of Interest, we aim to honour and reflect these Cultural links by commissioning local Aboriginal Artists to contribute to the understanding of the identity of Baldivis Grove.
This Expression of Interest is currently open for Noongar and Bindjareb Noongar Artists in Western Australia The project aims to acknowledge and celebrate the Noongar people's culture and connection to the Baldivis area.

Site Identification Heritage Consultation
DATE 24 November 2023
Frasers Property Australia (Frasers) commissioned Aboriginal Land Services Pty Ltd (ALS) to undertake a site identification heritage consultation over areas planned for development within the Gnaala Karla Booja (GKB) Indigenous Land Use Agreement area (ILUA) (WI2015/005). The heritage consultation was undertaken with the endorsement of Gnaala Karla Booja Aboriginal Corporation (GKBAC), who are the representatives for the Gnaala Karla Booja People
The survey was undertaken on 24 November 2023 by eight GKB nominated representatives and two heritage consultants from ALS. Three Frasers representatives were also present to support the survey team.
The archaeological and ethnographic site identification heritage consultation over lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) (which is situated within the proposed Frasers Baldivis Grove Stage 9 development footprint) has been completed. As part of this consultation, the nominated GKB participants were given the opportunity to view the site area, consider the development proposal, and provide ethnographic input about the significance and importance of 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate). Additional cultural heritage values associated with this site were also documented as part of the consultation process.
Registered Aboriginal sites are heritage places that have been assessed by the ACMC as constituting sites under sections 5 and 39 of the Act.
Other heritage places include places for which data has been lodged with the DPLH but are pending assessment by the ACMC, and places that have already been assessed by the ACMC as not constituting an Aboriginal site under the meaning of the Act (listed as stored data / not a site).
A desktop assessment was completed before the commencement of the field survey to better understand the extent of heritage research undertaken to date within the survey area. This research involved an investigation of the Register of Sites maintained by the DPLH, which is a catalogue of heritage places previously recorded within the area and submitted to the DPLH.
Before commencing field work, the scoped survey areas were entered into the DPLH’s Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System (AHIS) to establish whether any heritage surveys had previously been conducted, and whether any registered Aboriginal heritage sites, or other heritage places (OHPs), exist in the area.
Once the AHIS search was completed, relevant site files and survey reports were requested from the DPLH for review. These site files were reviewed and summarised to provide the survey team with an understanding of the cultural landscape context of the survey area.
Some of the information held by the DPLH was not publicly accessible due to file restrictions, or due to temporary access suspension because of DPLH administrative processes. In such cases, the inability to access information is noted in the heritage assessment results for the relevant sites.
The results of the desktop research are provided in Section 9 of this report.
Baldivis Grove Subdivision Heritage Survey
DATE
23 November 2023
Frasers Property Australia (Frasers) intend to use land within the Gnaala Karla Booja (GKB) Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) area (WI2015/005) to commence their Stage 9 development of a residential zone within the Baldivis Grove Subdivision. This new subdivision will combine private residential spaces with open public spaces within the boundary of lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate; see Figure 1 below). The proposed development area sits adjacent to new and developing residential plots on Amberley Drive and Thornton Street, and is predominantly situated over cleared bushland located 150 m east of Mandurah Road and 450 m east of Lake Walyungup. This section of cleared bushland still retains several large, mature trees native to the area. Frasers current s18 application states that none of these trees identified as bearing potential scars are to be removed
As part of their due diligence assessment process, Frasers commissioned an archaeological and ethnographic site identification heritage consultation over the areas planned for development This consultation serves to provide the GKB nominated representatives with an opportunity to discuss the heritage values within lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate), as they pertain to the proposed development of the area
The heritage consultation was carried out on 24 November 2023 by eight GKB nominated representatives, two ALS consultants, and three Frasers representatives. The nominated GKB participants were selected by GKBAC through the GKB Cultural Advice Committee as the appropriate knowledge holders for the project area, and consented to participate in the heritage survey
The archaeological and ethnographic heritage consultation for the Baldivis Grove Subdivision was conducted to a site identification standard in accordance with section 18 (s18) requirements, and to satisfy obligations outlined in the heritage agreement relevant to the project. The aims of a site identification consultation are to:
1. Identify Aboriginal sites (as defined under s5 of the Act) within the requested survey area;
2. Document the heritage values of any identified sites comprehensively enough to provide the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH), and the Aboriginal Cultural Materials Committee (ACMC), with a fair understanding of the site’s importance and significance under s5 and s39 of the Act; and
3. Provide Frasers with relevant and informed heritage management recommendations for heritage values identified within the requested survey area.
Under section 17 (s17) of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972, it is an offence to disturb an Aboriginal site without prior written Ministerial consent to do so under s16 or s18 of the Act. This applies regardless of whether an Aboriginal site is registered.
Heritage assessments of proposed development areas are conducted to identify the location and extent of sites so that they can be appropriately managed in accordance with the legislative requirements of the Act.
The heritage consultation undertaken by ALS is a compliance measure under the amended Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972, and serves to facilitate a Section 18 submission for the proposed works by Frasers.
A full copy of the Act can be accessed online.
Gnaala Karla Booja Country straddles the coastline running between Kwinana and Capel in Western Australia. This Country is bordered by the Ballardong People to the east, the Wagyl Kaip People to the south, and the Whadjuk People to the north. Gnaala Karla Booja land comprises one territory of the Noongar Peoples located in the southwest of Western Australia and, “refers to the Noongar language or dialectical groups of the Bindjarep / Pinjarup, Wilman, and Ganeang” (Gnaala Karla Booja Aboriginal Corporation 2023).
In terms of rough spatial reference, the northeastern corner of Gnaala Karla Booja territory is located near Corrigin, and travels in a south-westerly direction past the western side of Wagin to Kojonup. The boundary then moves west across Boyup Brook and Greenbushes, then northwest towards Capel. The boundary extends from Capel west out into the ocean, then transitions north along the coast terminating due west of Byford over Kwinana and Garden Island.
As such, Gnaala Karla Booja Country features a large stretch of coastline in the southwest of Western Australia including Yalgorup National Park, as well as large swaths of native forests and woodlands further inland. Gnaala Karla Booja Country is currently administered and managed under an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA), which was entered into on 17 October 2018 with the Federal Court (WI2015/005).
Previously, Gnaala Karla Booja Country was administered under a Native Title Claim (WC1998/058), granted in 1998 by the Federal Court (WAD 6274/1998 – Federal Court number). This claim was originally lodged on 17 September 1998 by the Noongar Land Council on behalf of Gnaala Kaala Booja applicants (Native Title Tribunal, 2000). This application was amended twice, and passed the registration test under s190A of the Native Title Act 1993 on 3 March 1999 (Native Title Tribunal 2000).
This Native Title Claim was active until 2021, when Gnaala Karla Booja representatives entered into the South West Settlement Claim (WCD2021/010) with other Noongar Nations. The Act of entering this overarching claim rendered the original Native Title Claim established in 1998 void.
The South West Settlement Claim (also known as Bennell v State of Western Australia) affected the following Native Title Claims and Noongar Nations that signed onto the joint agreement:
• Harris Family (WC1996/041)
• Southern Noongar (WC1996/109)
• Yued (WC1997/071)
• Gnaala Karla Booja (WC1998/058)
• Wagyl Kaip (1998/070)
• Ballardong People (WC2000/007)
• Single Noongar Claim (Area 1) (WC2003/006)
• Single Noongar Claim (Area 2) (WC2003/007)
• South West Boojarah #2 (WC2006/004)
• Wagyl Kaip – Dillon Bay (WC2007/001); and
• Whadjuk People (WC2011/009)
In signing onto the joint claim, these respective Noongar Nations with their associated Native Title Claims agreed to extinguish their Native Title rights to their respective Native Title Claim areas (Federal Court of Australia, 2021). As such, the official decision handed down by the Federal Court was that Native Title does not exist in the claim area.
The following excerpts come from the Court Order for the determination decision for the South West Settlement Claim (WCD2021/010) and explain the reasoning behind the extinguishment of Native Title rights:
“Court notes that: (C). Since 2009, the First to Eleventh Applicants, the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council and the State of Western Australia have engaged in negotiations for the full and final settlement of all claims by the Noongar people under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA). These negotiations resulted in the authorisation, execution, and registration of six Indigenous Land Use Agreements (Settlement ILUAs) which make up the South
D. Each Settlement ILUA relates to a separate area (each, an Agreement Area): the Agreement Area is the area defined in Sch 1 of each Settlement ILUA and shown in a map contained in Sch 2 of each Settlement ILUA. Together the six Agreement Areas comprise the Settlement Area. Pursuant to cl 6.2 of each Settlement ILUA, all native title rights and interests in relation to the relevant Agreement Areas were surrendered to the State on 13 April 2021 (i.e. native title was surrendered in respect of the whole of the Settlement Area on that date). Further, cl 6.3 of each Settlement ILUA envisages that consent orders will be made for a determination that native title does not exist in relation to each Agreement Area
I. The parties acknowledge that the effect of the making of the Determination is that native title will not exist in relation to the Determination Area.
Reasons for Judgement (6). The decision to divide the Settlement Areas into six distinct regions, broadly co-extensive with the Underlying Noongar Applications, with one Settlement ILUA for each registered claim area, was undertaken to ensure that the rights of Noongar people to speak for Noongar Country properly respected the many different estates existing within Noongar society and country. The division of the Settlement Area gave assurance to people that a person’s family’s country could not be interfered with by someone with no connection to it: McGlade (No 2)”
(Federal Court of Australia, 2021)
As such, the ILUA that Gnaala Karla Booja hold over their Country (WI2015/005) has superseded their official Native Title Rights, however, it provides Gnaala Karla Booja with additional and ongoing management and community opportunities, as well as greater control over the activities that occur on Gnaala Karla Booja County.
This ILUA (in addition to those of the Noongar Nations mentioned above) binds State Government Departments and certain State Government agencies to, “enter into a Noongar Standard Heritage Agreement (NSHA) when conducting Aboriginal Heritage Surveys in the ILUA areas, unless they have an existing heritage agreement. It is also intended that other State agencies and instrumentalities (resource development) enter into the NSHA when conducting Aboriginal Heritage Surveys in ILUA areas” (DPLH AHIS 2023). The negotiation of a NSHA prior to any ground disturbance works provides the Gnaala Karla Booja People with critical information regarding the nature of these works and therefore allows the Gnaala Karla Booja People to make informed decisions regarding the projects occurring on their Country.
The traditional lands of the Gnaala Karla Booja People are diverse and extend from the coast south of Kwinana approximately 200 km inland towards Wagin. Due to the diversity of the landscape within Gnaala Karla Booja Country, the traditional lands of the Gnaala Karla Booja People cross several of the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) bioregions as defined by Thackway and Cresswell (1995). These IBRA bioregions include: SWA02 (Swan Coastal Plain), JAF01 (Northern Jarrah Forest), JAF02 (Southern Jarrah Forest), and AVW02 (Avon Wheatbelt) (TR ArcGIS 2023).
The importance of the landscape and natural resources to the Gnaala Karla Booja People within the relevant IBRA bioregions will be discussed below.
The Swan Coastal Plain features a complex series of seasonal wetlands, but is typified by a low-lying landscape covered with woodland. This bioregion covers an area of approximately 15,257 km2 and spreads across a 30 km wide strip adjacent to the Indian Ocean and west of the Darling Scarp, running from the city of Perth to Cape Naturaliste in the south (Chisholm et al. 2016).
The ground surface within the Swan Coastal Plain varies, but includes colluvial and aeolian sands, alluvial river flats, and coastal limestone. The plain rises to the east to duricrusted Mesozoic sediments dominated by Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) woodland (Thackway and Cressell 1995). The outwash plains, once dominated by A. obesamarri woodlands and Melaleuca shrublands, are extensive only to the south and Paperbark trees (Melaleuca rhaphiophylla) can typically be found in swampy areas (Thackway and Cresswell 1995). Heathlands and / or Tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) woodlands can be found situated over areas featuring limestone, while various Banksia spp. or Tuart tend to dominate the sandy soils (Thackway and Cresswell 1995).
Prior to European settlement, the Swan Coastal Plain comprised a series of freshwater wetlands, the majority of which have been drained, filled, or cleared since 1832 (Chisholm et al. 2016). Wetlands, estuary systems, and waterways existing in the Swan Coastal Plain and that are of significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja People include: the Serpentine River (DPLH ID 3582), Harvey Estuary / Peel Inlet (DPLH OHP ID 32696), Lake Cliffton, Lake Yalgorup, Lake Preston (DPLH OHP ID 5614), Kooallup Lagoon, the Collie River / Leschenault Inlet (DPLH ID: 16713: Collie River Waugal), as well as the coastline along this stretch of land itself.
Watersources are of a high cultural and spiritual significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja Traditional Owners as they are often associated with specific creation stories. The health of these waterways also often directly reflects the health of these creation spirits, and therefore the health of Country and the Gnaala Karla Booja People as a whole (Barber and Jackson 2011). The following oral history from Joe Northover, a Noongar Traditional Owner, has been taken from the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) website (2023a), and explains the significance of Minningup (the Collie River) to the Gnaala Karla Booja People:
“We come here to this place, Minningup, the Collie River, to share the story of this area or what makes it so special. It is the resting place of the Ngangungudditj walgu, the hairy faced snake. Bardan ngang noyt. He is our spirit and this is where he rests. You have big bearded full moon at night time; you can see him, his spirit there, his beard resting on the water. And we come to this place here today to show respect to him plus also to meet our people because when they pass away, this is where we come to talk to them. Not to the cemetery where they are buried but here because their spirits are in this water. This is where all our spirits will end up here. Karla koorliny, we call it – coming home. Ngany kurt, ngany karla – our heart, our home.”
In addition to the Collie and Serpentine Rivers, one of the primary geographic features of this bioregion is the Swan River (DPLH ID 3536) which drains into the Indian Ocean near Perth. Although not located directly within Gnaala Karla Booja territory, the Swan River is a place of high mythological significance to the Noongar Nations of the southwest of Western Australia. Both the Swan and Canning Rivers are believed to have been created by the Rainbow Serpent or Waugal, a dreamtime being. The Waugal is said to have created the creeklines, waterholes, lakes, and valleys while on its journey to the ocean, and many First Nations People believe that permanent watersources contain a resting Waugal that usually bears the same name as the site it is associated with (as demonstrated by Joe Northover’s words above) (Hughes-Hallet 2010; Kingsford 1982; Shaw and Martin 2011).
As such, watersources continue to play a crucial role in Gnaala Karla Booja culture, not just for their role as a subsistence source, but for being intrinsically tied to the very creation of the world as the Gnaala Karla Booja people know it.
Jarrah Forest
The Northern and Southern Jarrah Forest IBRA bioregions cover an area of approximately 45,063 km2 and are located east of the Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions. The Murray River is found within this bioregion along with the peaks of the Stirling Ranges (Chisholm et al. 2016), although the ranges themselves fall outside of Gnaala Karla Booja Country. The Jarrah forest present within these bioregions exist within a warm Mediterranean environment, meaning they experience hot dry summers and cold wet winters (Thackway and Cresswell 1995). It should be noted that the Noongar Peoples have a much broader understanding of the seasons and the cyclic changes their Country goes through than the basic categories Wadjelas’ (Westerners) apply to three-month block increments of time, and that words such as ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ do not do justice to this wealth of knowledge surrounding seasonal changes.
The ground surface and vegetation present within the Jarrah Forest bioregions has been described by Thackway and Cresswell (1995) as featuring a, “duricrusted plateau of Yilgarn Craton characterised by Jarrah-Marri forest on laterite gravels and, in the eastern part, by Marri-Wandoo woodlands on clayey soils. Eluvial and alluvial deposits support Agonis shrublands. In areas of Mesozoic sediments, Jarrah forests occur in a mosaic with a variety of species-rich shrublands” (Thackway and Cresswell 1995).
The Jarrah and Marri forests have long held a high significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja representatives. Some of the forests located on Gnaala Karla Booja Country include parts of the Jarrahdale State Forest, the Darling Ranges, Serpentine National Park, the Youraling State Forest, the Dwellingup State Forest, the Land Poole Conservation Reserve, the Muja State Forest, the Mumballup State Forest, and the Wilga State Forest, amongst others. These
forested areas provide a wealth of natural resources and materials that have been utilised for the subsistence strategies, cultural prosperity, and lore and spirituality of the Gnaala Karla Booja People both in past times and into the present.
Many of the sites of significance for the Gnaala Karla Booja People within the Jarrah Forest bioregions are located adjacent to or along the waterways that criss-cross the landscape. The importance of waterways and water sources to the Gnaala Kaala Booja People has previously been stated and cannot be underestimated. Several key water sources of significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja People within the Jarrah Forest bioregions include: the Murray River (DPLH ID 3537), Canning River, Serpentine River (DPLH ID 3582), Crossman River, Cell Brook, Bingham River, Harvey River, Harris River (DPLH ID 21905), Collie River (DPLH ID 16713), and Williams River.
The Darling Ranges / Darling Scarp is also a key natural feature situated within the Jarrah Forest bioregion that is of significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja People. Ranges, as well as the peaks of particular mountains or hills, often hold a great deal of significance as they can be a part of Dreamtime or creation stories, or may have been key markers in the landscape that people utilised to navigate in past times. The Darling Scarp itself is believed to represent the body of the Waugal, one of the Dreamtime creation spirits spoken about within Noongar Lore (SWALSC 2023a). Some of the peaks along the Darling Scarp itself also hold great significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja People one such place includes Mt Saddleback (Mokine) (DPLH ID 17214) a mythological site south of Boddington.
As mentioned, the Gnaala Karla Booja People form one of Noongar Nations of the southwest of Western Australia. These Noongar Nations maintain a strong connection to Country, and each have their own customs, beliefs, and traditional practices still utilised today to ensure knowledge of Country is passed on to the younger generations, and that the overall health of Country is maintained.
Oral histories and lore are one of the key mechanisms utilised to maintain this knowledge. These lore stories speak of the connection between Country and the Noongar Peoples, and of how the Country was originally created by spirit beings. Noel Nannup, a Noongar man, speaks of how Noongar spirituality is intrinsically tied to Country by saying:
“Noongar spirituality lies in the belief of a cultural landscape and the connection between the human and spiritual realms. Everything in our vast landscape has meaning and purpose. Life is a web of inter-relationships where maam and yok (men and women) and nature are partners, and where kura (long ago, the past) is always connected to yey (present). Through our paintings, music, and koroboree/kobori (dance) we are paying respect to our ancestral creators, and at the same time, strengthening our belief systems. Noongar connection with nature and boodja (country) signified a close relationship with spiritual beings associated with the land. We express this through our caring for boodja and observing Noongar lore through an oral traditional of storytelling. Noongar spirituality is one of many kaartdijin (knowledge) systems within Aboriginal Australia, and like other knowledge systems, there is diversity in our Noongar interpretations.”
(Nannup sourced from SWALSC 2023a)
The beliefs, stories, and customs surrounding the Dreamtime are of a high cultural significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja Traditional Owners, and are intrinsic to Noongar spirituality, as Nannup mentioned above. The following excerpts and information regarding Noongar beliefs surround the Dreaming and Dreamtime spirits have been taken directly from SWALSC’s website (2023a) as one of the representative bodies for the Gnaala Karla Booja People.
“The Nyitting or Dreaming means ‘cold,’ ‘cold time’ or ‘ancestral times.’ Noongar people know it as the Creation time. It is the time before time when spirits rose from the earth and descended from the sky to create the land forms and all living things. Nyitting stories laid down the lore for social and moral order and established cultural patterns and customs. Our Noongar Elders have the ability to comprehend the knowledge and to maintain it in an unchanging way. Noongar creation stories can vary from region to region, but they are part of the connection between all living things.”
“Waugal or waug means soul, spirit, or breath. The Waugal is the major spirit for Noongar people and central to our beliefs and customs. Waugal has many different spellings, including Waakal, Wagyl, Wawgal, Waugal, Wogggal, and Waagal. The Waugal is a snake or rainbow serpent recognised by Noongar as the giver of life, maintaining all
fresh water sources. It was the Waugal that made Noongar people custodians of the land. Noongar people believe that the Waugal dominates the earth and the sky and makes the koondarnangor (thunder), babanginy (lightning), and boroong (rain).”
“During the Nyitting, it created the fresh waterways such as the bilya/beelier (river), pinjar (swamps, lakes), and ngamma (waterhole). The Darling Scarp represents the body of the Waugal, which created the curves and contours of the hills and gullies. As the Waugal slithered over the land, its track shaped the sand dunes, its body scoured out the course of the rivers, where it occasionally stopped for a rest, and created bays and lakes. The Waugal rose up from Ga-ra-katta (Mt Eliza at the foot of Kings Park), and formed the Derbarl Yerrigan and the Djarlgarro Beelier (the Swan and Canning Rivers). It also created other waterways and landforms around Perth and the south-west of Western Australia. The Waugal also joins up with wetlands such as Herdsman Lake and Lake Monger, and resides deep beneath underground springs.”
“When the great Waugal created the boodja, he ensured that there was wirrin or spirits to look after the land and all that it encompassed. Some places such as the karda (hills), and ngamar (waterholes), boya (rocks), bilya/beelier (rivers) and boorn (trees) were created as sacred sites and hold wirn (spirits), both wara/mambaritj (bad) and kwop (good).”
“Noongar spiritual obligations to our spirit ancestors are maintained according to the totems that live in our environment. Some examples of Noongar totems are jirda (birds), kwooyar (frogs), gooljak, kooljark, koolyak (swans), yoorn/yoondarn (goannas) and karda/caarda (lizards). Every individual has a spirit totem or an animal which we have a responsibility for and must treat them with respect. We do not eat the animal of our totem. Children are still given totem animals today to look after and preserve. It is part of maintaining our cultural traditions and a connection to all living things.”
As Noel Nannup mentioned, some regional variation exists within these beliefs amongst the different Noongar Nations, however, the importance of Country and the intrinsic connection between Country, spirituality, and the People, is ever present and highly significant.
Culturally significant sites and places
There are many culturally significant sites and places scattered throughout Gnaala Karla Booja Country, and many are situated along major landscape features and permanent water sources such as creeklines, rivers, springs, peaks, and prominent hills. Several places of known significance to the Noongar People, some of which are located on Gnaala Karla Booja Country, include:
“…our katitjin or knowledge about the boodjar and the sacred sites such as Mt Stirling, Mt Caroline, Mt Bakewell, Mt Matilda, Kokerbin Rock, Boyagin Rock, Mandikan, Mundaring, Karta Koomba, Waakal Mia, and the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan Estuary)…”
(Collard 2005)
Sites of particular importance on Gnaala Karla Booja Country include Boyagin Rock (DPLH ID 3225) and Barragup Mungah. The following excerpts stem from the SWALSC (2023b) website and explain the significance of Boyagin Rock and Barragup Mungah to the Gnaala Karla Booja People.
Boyagin Rock is located in the Boyagin Nature Reserve, approximately 15 km southwest of Brookton. Regarding Boyagin Rock, the, “Noongar people have a ‘Back to Boyagin’ day to catch up with moort – family/relations. Our moort bring their chairs and tables, barbeques, cameras, footballs, and walking shoes. We moort sit around and wangkiny – talk and yarn, walk to the top of Boyagin Rock – our Noongar moort have been doing this for years. The kurrlongurr – children play games. Noongars have many stories to tell about our experiences at Boyagin Rock and one thing is for sure, we never stay there after dusk because it is a very wirrin (spiritual) place. Noongar people also believe that this is the last resting or sleeping place of the Waugal” (SWALSC 2023).
Noongar Elder Janet Collard said of the site:
“My husband (Andy Collard) said that in that rock (Boyagin Rock) there is a big Waargle, water snake and when it wound itself round and round it looked like a big tyre. So he’s there and I think it’s sacred, it means water to us. Old Waargle is sacred to us and you must never kill it or
harm it in any way.”
(Collard sourced from SWALSC 2023b)
Barragup Mungah is a fish weir on the Serpentine River in Gnaala Karla Booja Country, and is known as an important meeting point for Noongar Peoples from the Swan, Peel, and Darling Ranges areas.
Regarding the area, Noongar Elder Harry Nannup (SWALSC 2023b) stated:
“This country is our country, not one, not two but all of us that are here today, this is our land, and we can be proud of it. As a child, I wondered all around these waterways with my family, we fished the area, we hunted, we got berries and whatever else – we survived where other people couldn’t. We got used to other people coming here from all other country areas and we fed them with fish because we knew how to catch the fish. We became pretty famous for this, and we still are – we still do it.”
There are countless sites of a high cultural and spiritual significance to the Gnaala Karla Booja People located on their Country these are but a few and operate in a vast web of cultural features, landscape, and connection to Country.
Legacy post-contact
Perth was officially settled in 1829, and the early contact between Aboriginal People and European settlers had mixed outcomes (WAM 1979). Some interactions were positive, with Aboriginal People often assisting Europeans during the early years of settlement, guiding pastoralists and settlers to various watersources and resources (Hughes-Hallet 2010). Certain supplies, such as tea, tobacco, and sugar were used as payment for the assistance of the Noongar Nations (Chisholm et al 2016). Berndt (1979) notes that the practise of paying Aboriginal People with supplies or rations altered traditional lifestyles resulting in increased interaction of both populations and an exchange of knowledge and culture.
Many interactions were not positive. Several conflicts occurred over land seizure and dispossession between southwest Aboriginal populations and European settlers which resulted in extreme violence towards Aboriginal populations, including several massacres. One such massacre occurred at Pinjarra on Gnaala Karla Booja Country on 28 October 1834.
The Pinjarra massacre resulted in the deaths of 15 to 80 Bindjareb People and one British colonist (Harris 2010). The encounter was led by Captain James Stirling who gathered a party of policemen, soldiers, and settlers, and headed out to Pinjarra to quell Bindjareb resistance to the spread of European colonisation in the area (Curthoys and Konishi 2022).
Tensions had been rising in the years previous with several key Elders outlawed and executed including Midgegooroo in May 1833. His son Yagan was outlawed two months later which resulted in his death at the hands of two men enticed by the promise of a bounty (Cuthoys and Konishi 2022). Midgegooroo and Yagan were influential leaders amongst the Whadjuk Noongar, and their loss was felt deeply by the community, and was also exacerbated by the desecration of Yagan’s body (Cuthoys and Konishi 2022).
Stirling used the spearing of a servant near Mandurah in retaliation for these events as an excuse to lead a party of soldiers and police against the Binjareb People amongst fears that the Noongar clans would join together and overwhelm the settlers (Cuthoys and Konishi 2022). This party surrounded a Binjareb camp on three fronts, and proceeded to trap people along a river where they were fired at from both sides (Cuthoys and Konishi 2022).
Various accounts of the massacre estimate that anywhere from 15 to 80 people were killed including men, women, and children (Cuthoys and Konishi 2022). Several other massacres occurred in the southwest of Western Australia but were not as well documented as the one that occurred at Pinjarra in 1834 after backlash from the British Parliament against the actions of Stirling and his men.
As European populations continued to grow, Aboriginal populations were slowly pushed off their traditional lands, and a greater demand for labour saw Traditional Owners often employed at various settlements such as pastoral stations (Berndt 1979). Noongar men often became wage labourers such as station hands and drovers while Noongar women typically performed unpaid or poorly paid domestic tasks within the household or camp (Chisholm
et al. 2016; Hodson 1993).
Additionally, the establishment of various government policies saw a large number of Noongar children forced onto missions such as New Norcia to the north-northeast of Perth (Chisholm et al. 2016). Missions were run in conjunction with government legislation, ensuring the removal of children from their parents and placement in institutions for educational purposes that would ultimately feed viable workers back into the labour market (Chisholm et al. 2016; Kidd 1997). Many of the missions were marred by abuse, still functioning up until the 1960s in some areas (Chisholm et al 2016; Kidd 1997).
Margaret Gentle, a Noongar woman, recalls her experiences of the Wandering Mission:
“There’s a lot of old people who have been through there (Wandering Mission) over the years and their spirits will come back to that place. Sometimes, we will talk about that…we won’t talk about that in the night time though. Yes, it had everything. Wandering has everything and there was sadness there too… Yes, there was that too and there’s those old people who died and who keep coming back to see their children. Their spirits keep coming back. A lot of children were there before I went there [with Joe Walley in the 1970s]… Yeah, God only knows what happened before me and Joe got there.” (SWALSC 2023)
These Acts and policies were designed to remove Noongar People from their culture and traditions, and continue to have far-reaching effects on Noongar identity and society today. Various programs are in place, however, to regenerate cultural and intergenerational learning amongst the Gnaala Karla Booja People. The South West Land and Sea Council is currently working in collaboration with the Association of Independent Schools of WA to develop learning materials to be introduced into the curriculum surrounding Noongar knowledge, stories, culture, and history (SWALSC 2023c).
SWALSC has also been working in collaboration with Noongar Elders to form the Noongar Leadership Business Unit which has five core branches being the Noongar Leadership Directory, Walk with Us – Partnerships, Program Development and Delivery, Accreditation, and Evaluation (SWALSC 2023d). This business unit delivers a range of community programs aimed at transferring knowledge surrounding Noongar culture and traditional practices. These programs also focus on training Noongar People in leadership and specific community-based roles that serve to strengthen the community overall and provide Noongar People with a stronger voice when making decisions about the works and activities that are occurring on their Country
ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC HERITAGE CONSULTATION
Baldivis Grove Subdivision Heritage Survey
DATE 24 November 2023
Frasers engaged ALS to conduct an archaeological and ethnographic site identification heritage consultation of the area requested in the project scope and to assist in the coordination of the nominated GKB consultation participants.
The nominated GKB participants were selected by the GBK Cultural Advice Committee as the appropriate knowledge holders for the consultation and consented to participate in the heritage survey.
Contact details for the survey participants are provided in Appendix A of this report.

Prior to the survey, the ALS heritage consultants conducted a survey brief to provide the nominated GKB participants with information about the purpose, scope, and proposed method of the heritage consultation. The results of the desktop survey were also provided to the survey team with contextual information on what heritage values are known to exist within the survey area. The proposed method was approved by the Traditional Owners present.
Below: Tod O’Dwyer (Frasers) providing a project brief to the nominated GKB participants
After the initial briefing, the heritage team walked through the bounds of lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate), stopping at points of interest and to note down specific heritage management recommendations for the area. This time was also utilised to ask questions of the Frasers representatives as to the specifics of the proposed works, which in turn allowed the GKB nominated representatives to make informed decisions about the management of the cultural heritage values of Baldivis Grove.
At the end of the field trip, a debrief was conducted to discuss the results of the heritage survey, and to offer the Traditional Owners an opportunity to provide additional comments on the heritage place investigated (39406: Baldivis Grove (estate)), the effectiveness of the methods used, and their recommendations for the management of the cultural heritage values of the site.
All coordinates provided in this report and in the spatial data package accompanying it (Attachment 1) were obtained with a Garmin hand-held GPS and a Samsung Galaxy tablet, using the GDA94 datum. All grid references are projected in MGA Zone 50, unless otherwise stated. Dependent on external conditions, these units afford an optimal spatial accuracy of ± 5 m.
As mentioned, desktop research was conducted prior to the commencement of fieldwork to ascertain whether any previous surveys have been conducted over the proposed project footprint, and to gather information associated with the known sites in the area. The results of this desktop research are presented below.
As a result of the desktop research, it was identified that two previous surveys have been conducted that intersect with the Baldivis Grove survey area. These previous surveys and their associated reports are summarised below
102670 Baldivis Grove Subdivision
O’Connor, R., Bodney, C. and Little, L., 1985. Preliminary Report on the Survey of Aboriginal Areas of Significance in the Perth Metropolitan and Murray River Regions. Unpublished report for Department of Aboriginal Sites, Perth.
This report was part of a project to produce a management plan concerning Aboriginal sites in the Perth metropolitan region. The project involved an analysis of the existing body of archaeological data by Strawbridge (DIA 104505) and this report, which outlined the ethnographic survey. The ethnographic component discussed significant sites in terms of their importance to Aboriginal groups today and/or their potential contribution to an understanding of Aboriginal culture. The aim of the project was to provide guidelines for development in the belief that aims of development and conservation of Aboriginal sites (archaeological and ethnographic) need not be directly opposed.
103564 Baldivis Grove Subdivision
Polach, L 1971, An Archaeological Survey Project: The Perth Area, Western Australia. Unpublished report for the University of Western Australia.
This report investigates the changing patterns of Aboriginal settlement and land use, as well as the ecological and symbolic ordering of life and landscape in a sample area within the Southwest of Australia, centred on Perth. The survey was based on ethnographic historical sources, field survey, and excavation.
As mentioned, one lodged heritage place (DPLH OHP ID 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate)) is present within the proposed project footprint and formed the focus of the consultation held on 24 November between nominated GKB participants and Frasers representatives. Detailed information can be found in the survey results section (Section 11.2) of this report.
There were no alterations or changes to the scope of works during this heritage survey.
The Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 project area was archaeologically and ethnographically assessed to site identification standard on 24 November 2023.
The Baldivis Grove Subdivision survey area is located within the City of Rockingham, in the suburb of Baldivis, 520 m south of Safety Bay Road and 290 m east of Mandurah Road.
The results presented below are also provided in the pack (Attachment 1) that accompanies this report.

An assessment of the fabric of the site was undertaken and ethnographic discussions undertaken to document the cultural values of the place.
BALDIVIS GROVE (ESTATE) NO RESTRICTIONS
SITE TYPE
Centroid: 386451 mE / 6422130 mN
Size: 19,777.5 m2
HISF receipt no: TBC
DPLH OHP ID 39406 : Baldivis Grove (estate) is a camping ground with culturally modified trees and ethnographic values. It was recorded on 24 November 2023.
Baldivis Grove (estate) resides within an area of property development by Frasers Property Group Australia (Frasers). The site itself was originally recorded to include numerous possible culturally modified trees. These trees are not going to be impacted by the proposed works of Frasers. At the time of recording, no details of the initial site recording are known, such as by whom or when.
DPLH OHP ID 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) is located in the suburb of Baldivis in the broader Perth metropolitan area of the South West region of Western Australia some 450m south of Safety Bay Road, 250m east of Mandurah road and 370m north of Pike Road. The site is situated on the gentle eastern slope of the large north to south oriented inland dune system to the east of Lake Walyungup The parcel of land containing the site is surrounded by private property, with small acreages to the north, west and south west; along with the current and prior Frasers Baldivis Grove Estate development envelopes to the south and east. This location offers some protection from the prevailing south westerly and westerly winds, and is situated within less that a day’s walk of the present Golden Bay coast line and the wetlands to the west and northwest.
The boundary of the site was created to encompass the 43 potential scarred or modified trees and was created prior to the consultation discussed in this report. No amendments were made to the boundary following the consultation. This conclusion was reached based on their being no further evidence of scarred or modified trees beyond this boundary, and the presence of private property beyond this to which the survey team did not have permissions to access. The GKB nominated participants were satisfied that the existing boundary was sufficient to encompass the values of the place.
At the time of the consultation any previously held recording or documentation of the DPLH OHP ID 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) site was not available to the heritage consultants
It is understood that the site was reported to the DPLH by a member of the public as containing possible scarred trees.
11.2.3
DPLH OHP ID 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) is a large area potentially containing 43 culturally modified trees. The site measures approximately 113 m (north-northeast to south-southwest) by 220 m (west-northwest to eastsoutheast). The site slopes upwards to a hill crest on the west side, from which there is a view of nearby Lake Walyungup. Within the site boundary are numerous mature Tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) trees, with several Swamp She-oak (Casuarina obesa) and Marri (Corymbia calophylla) trees.
The Gnaala Karla Booja (GKB) nominated representatives understood the 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) site represents a camping place where trade likely took place. The site is also understood as a “place of memory”.
The 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) site is located within a rich cultural landscape with abundant natural resources utilised by Noongar ancestors. Lake Walyungup is located 480 m west, swampland exists 400 m northeast, and the ocean is located 4.6 km west. GKB nominated representative Cheryl Martin stated (pers. comm. 24 November 2023),
“This is a very rich area, because of water sources, food. Our people been coming here for thousands of years.”
GKB nominated representative Trevor Walley (pers. comm. 24 November 2023) also commented on the availability of food;
“All this fresh swamp here – eggs, turtle.”
Traditional knowledge of the food resources surrounding 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) survives and continues to be valued today. GKB nominated representative Shirley Viti asserted that the elevation provided by the western portion of the site would have been advantageous for the Noongar Ancestors, stating (pers. comm. 24 November 2023):
“They’d camp on the hill so they can watch, see below.”
As a place to look out over Country, and with accessible food and water sources, Shirley Viti concluded (pers. comm. 24 November 2023) that 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate),
“Could’ve been where they [Noongar ancestors] held their barter trading. Ocean’s just there, lake is just there”
Summarily, the location of 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) in relation to other water and food sources makes it a probably camping and trading place. This assertion is further evidenced by the presence of culturally modified mature Tuart trees, as identified by the GKB nominated representatives
Tuart trees are native tree species which are threatened, in no small part due to historic logging and land clearing throughout the South West. Besides offering critical habitat for native fauna, these trees hold cultural significance to the GKB nominated representatives. After inspecting one scarred Tuart tree within the site, GKB nominated representative Trevor Walley recalled (pers. comm. 24 November 2023) what his elders had told him regarding these trees, and what the scars may mean:
“A lot of elders told me important people are buried under it, or [it shows] “it is my camp site”,
or [it relates to] ceremony. Unless they tell you, you don’t know” (pers. comm. 24 November 2023)
After inspecting the grounds of 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) and the trees more thoroughly, Trevor Walley surmised that 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) was a camping area and that the scarring on the trees may have been for memorial, to remember someone.
In conversations following the heritage consultation, Shirley Viti relayed that she understood that her father Dilyan Jack Abraham was born near the area
The scarred or culturally modified trees are scattered throughout the site, but the densities are in the central, western and northern portions. The east and northeast areas have been subject to clearing. Prior to the heritage consultation, surveyors had labelled and numbered the trees and marked in their location spatially. This numbering system was the basis for the identification of individual trees during the assessment. While it was difficult to define or determine scarring or indentation on the inner timber face of most of the potential scars, it was noted that all were at an appropriate height; within the bottom 2 m of the trunk and thus accessible to persons wishing to mark or collect bark. This would also be a height at which stock might cause damage to the tree bark.
In consultation with the GKB nominated representatives it was established that this scarring would not have been for the procurement of bark for tools or utilisation. Rather that this scarring would have been as markers for the individual tree, noting something proximate, or marking the broader area in and around the Tuart trees on the slope as an area of cultural activity. This interpretation would mean that scarring might have been less substantive than that utilised to procure bark for shields or carrying utensils. As such, the scarring may be less prominent and easily decerned as cultural scarring.
As sample of the potential scars were measured and their aspect documented (see table below).
Below: View southeast toward the Tuart trees
Below: View east toward the eastern side of the site
Below: View northwest, up the slope to the crest of the dune in the western portion of the site
DPLH OHP ID 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) is a place of cultural value to the GKB nominated representatives, who maintain traditional rights and interests over the Country on which the place exists. The GKB nominated representatives' interpretation of the site is as a place of connection and memory. It is where their ancestors camped, hunted and communed with other families and groups in the area as they moved through Country, as well as their ancestors. The GKB nominated representatives understand this significance, both indirectly - by observing and assessing the cultural markings on the trees and the terrain and directly – by what they remember from their relations. The scarring on the trees indicates the past use of the area either intensively or seasonally, as a place between places. They asserted that the scarring was most likely a demarking endeavour rather than exploiting of bark for utility. There is associated value in that the site sits between culturally significant areas such as soaks and wetlands to the northeast and northwest, along with the coastal resources to the west. The site links components of a cultural landscape.
Direct family heritage is tied to this place for some GKB nominated representatives, such as Sheryl Viti, who recalled:
“My mother said there was camping, fire all in here”
Adding that:
“My grandfather’s footprints are all over this place because he worked here.”
(pers. comm 24 November 2023)
Several other GKB nominated representatives related stories of their families’ connections to this place or the surrounding area and the traditional and contemporary activities they practised. Trevor Walley expressed a contemporary connection to the area. He and his immediate family lived and worked nearby when he was a child, south of the site toward the old market garden region. During the consultation, he regaled the survey team with stories of his childhood and memories of his time in the area. The contemporary interaction with the area during the consultation allowed Trevor to remember his time on Country and share this with the people present. As such, 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) demonstrates clear social and historical significance for the GKB nominated
representatives as a tangible place of connection to family ancestors, culture, and history. Disturbance of this site would therefore damage the ability of the GKB nominated representatives to recollect these memories and stories and their capacity to teach others in their community.
During the consultation, the GKB nominated representatives asserted the spiritual importance of the Sheoak trees within 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate). These trees which provide a direct connection to ancestors through the sounds of the rustling leaves in the wind. Trevor Walley explained (pers. comm. 24 November 2023):
“With the Sheoak, you can hear the shhh. That’s the old people [saying] “remember us”.
The soundscape provided by these trees are therefore an integral part of the cultural significance of the site, providing a means of commune with ancestors. Consequently, removal, damage, or restriction of access to this site and to these trees is a denial of opportunity for GKB nominated representatives to connect with and practice a spiritual aspect of their culture.
The spiritual significance of 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) is not wholly confined to the demarcated boundary of the place. As is typical of places of Aboriginal cultural heritage, the spiritual significance is interconnected to the surrounding landscape, including other known sites. Specifically for 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) is its connection to Lake Walyungup (1 Km southwest). This lake is visible from the high point at the western edge of 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate). According to GKB nominated representative Trevor Walley, this lake contains eggs from the mythical water serpent, the Wagyl. Trespassing near these eggs can be dangerous, as the Wagyl is known to cause devastation if disturbed or disrespected. Indeed, Trevor Walley (pers, comm. 24 November 2023) recalled being told not to go near these eggs:
“That’s the eggs of the rainbow serpent. We weren’t allowed to swim there. The rainbow serpent will take us down in the ground and come out at Safety Bay in the ocean”
Being upslope and so close to a site associated with the presence of such an important Being, 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) has the potential disrupt or damage this sacred place, through runoff contamination, litter, and general land disturbance. Such secondary effects should be considered, because as stated by GKB nominated representative Marie Walley (pers comm. 24 November 2023):
“That’s (Lake Walyungup) part of it, that’s all part of it”
Consequently, unmitigated, or inadequate management of either place will adversely affect the other. Evidently, through the Sheoak trees and by association with Lake Walyungup, site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) holds high spiritual significance to the GKB nominated representatives
In addition to the strong social, historical, and spiritual significance, 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) exhibits considerable aesthetic values. Positioned upon an incline rising westward, 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) provides a vista of the surrounding land, including Lake Walyungup. This elevation was appreciated by the GKB nominated representatives, who cited this as further evidence of why the place was a campground, since:
“They'd (Noongar ancestors) camp on the hill so they can watch, see down below.” (Shirley Viti pers. comm. December 2023).
During the consultation, the GKB nominated representatives walked underneath the canopies of the Marri, She-oak and Tuart trees. They examined and admired not only the scars on the Tuart trees but also the trees themselves. The GKB nominated representatives admired and commented on the maturity of the trees, and their ability to provide habitat for native species including cockatoos and possums. It is in large part, this appreciation of the aesthetics within 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate), which facilitated the GKB nominated representatives agreeance to keep the site a public open space where all can enjoy the natural beauty.
As a significant place of tangible and intangible, present, and historic values, 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) presents an opportunity to not only preserve significance, but to celebrate and teach it also. GKB nominated representative Geraldine Hayden (pers, comm. 24 November 2023) stated hopefully:
“With this place here, I hope our history is put down for people to learn.”
Summarily, it is the evaluation of the GKB nominated representatives, that 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) demonstrates social, historical, spiritual, and aesthetic values. This classifies 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate) as a highly significant place of Aboriginal cultural heritage, as per Section 39 of the Act
The site consists of remnant Tuart trees with sparse Sheoak and Marri in the north eastern portion. The area has been the subject of clearing of the understory vegetation and a thinning of the tree density. Several piles of dead and felled trees were noted within the site boundary and adjacent to it. Virtually none of the native understory and ground cover remains and the present groundcover vegetation is seeded pasture.
The modified trees show minimal or no sign of contemporary human interference, save for the occasional pruned limb. The scars themselves are largely intact with some showing signs of termite damage and rot on the internal surface.
• Impact to the 43 potential scarred trees should be avoided
• Cultural monitors should be engaged during any ground disturbance works
• A cultural heritage management plan should be developed with Frasers, the City of Rockingham and GKB representatives to inform the management of heritage values during and after the development.
• A co-design of the proposed park area should be undertaken to factor in the view of the GKB representatives and with respect to the identified values of the site.
A list of heritage management recommendations have been provided by ALS below which are based on the results of the archaeological and ethnographic site identification consultation over the Baldivis Grove subdivision project area.
Frasers is advised to facilitate a cultural opening ceremony upon commencing works for the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project.
The GKB nominated representatives stated that the culturally appropriate way to open the Stage 9 Baldivis Grove Subdivision would be to hold an Opening Ceremony. This ceremony should include appropriate, prominent GKB representatives, whom should be arranged through GKBAC. Such an opening ceremony would ensure due respect is shown for the longstanding cultural ties of Baldivis Grove, its surrounds, and the GKB representatives
Frasers is encouraged to facilitate cultural awareness training for all employees and contractors working on the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project.
An outcome of the heritage survey and consultation was an increased awareness and appreciation for the cultural values associated with the project area. If all employees and contractors working on the project also had this knowledge and appreciation, then the cultural values of the place would be further safeguarded. Hence, it is recommended that Frasers facilitates cultural awareness training through GKBAC for all employees and contractors working on the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project.
Frasers is advised to conduct revegetation works within the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 project area, with the cooperation of, and input from, GKB, as permissible under the City of Rockingham’s bushfire risk management plan.
Much of the natural native vegetation has been cleared from the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 project area but can be found in the immediate surrounds. This vegetation holds ethnobotanical values, and this is particularly true of species such as the Marri (Corymbia calophylla) and Swamp She-oak trees (Casuarina obesa), which offer crucial habitats for native wildlife. The GKB representatives hold intimate knowledge of these botanical species and should be engaged through GKBAC to cooperatively design and implement effective and appropriate revegetation practices. It was also suggested that Frasers could offer lopped branches of these species (if clearing is necessary) to the local Aboriginal community for cultural uses.
Frasers is advised to collaborate with GKB to develop and implement co-naming principles as part of the co-design process of the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project.
Incorporating the Noongar names of plants, landscapes, animals, and other features within and relating to the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project is a way of demonstrating respect for the Indigenous heritage and knowledge that resides within this place. By incorporating such naming conventions, Noongar knowledge can be passed on to the wider community and down generations, ensuring the survival and appreciation of cultural knowledge. These naming conventions should be applied to signage, place names, and features of the Baldivis
Grove Subdivision Stage 9 Project through ongoing consultation with GKBAC
The GKB representatives support Frasers in cooperatively developing an ACHMP (Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan) with the City of Rockingham
Because the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 project area superimposes lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate), ongoing works, such as maintenance and upkeep works, would be classified under Regulation 10 of the 1972 Aboriginal Heritage Act. To avoid the need for re-doing Section 18 approval for such works in the future, Frasers is encouraged to develop an ACHMP, in cooperation with the City of Rockingham. This ACHMP can also establish a framework for the mitigation of project impacts upon cultural heritage places throughout Gnaala Karla Booja lands. This ACHMP should include a comprehensive stop-works procedure that addresses the management of subsurface cultural and skeletal material (also see Recommendation 6)
Other preliminary matters for consideration in any future ACHMP, as identified by the GKB representatives during the survey, include:
• the use of cultural Monitors; and
• the implementation of strategies for protection of local flora and fauna
It is recommended that Frasers develop and implement a stop works procedure for unexpected finds and the discovery of human remains, along with processes for the salvage and relocation of cultural material uncovered as part of the proposed works.
Given the potential for subsurface cultural material and human remains within the littoral and hinterland dune systems of the Swan Coast Plain; it is advised that Frasers develop and implement procedures to manage risks of such finds. These process and procedures should include but are not limited to:
• Aboriginal cultural monitor processes;
• procedures for the salvage and storage of cultural material;
• procedures for the demarcation of Aboriginal cultural heritage; and
• procedures for the discovery of human remains
Such procedures can also form part of the ACHMP to inform process during the works, but also for ongoing site management and maintenance for the City of Rockingham once control of the land transitions to them.
It is recommended that Frasers engage cultural monitors during ground disturbance activities as part of the Stage 9 Baldivis Grove development works both within and surrounding the boundary of lodged site 39406: Baldivis Grove (estate)
Cultural material may exist subsurface within the Baldivis Grove Subdivision Stage 9 project area. As an area where Gnaala Karla Booja people have resided for thousands of years, lithic material may be present sub-surface. Additionally, GKB nominated representative Trevor Walley described the present Tuart trees as possible places of burial. As such, caution must be exercised when conducting ground disturbance works.
To prevent and/or respond appropriately to accidental disturbance of cultural material, Frasers is advised to employ cultural monitors for all ground disturbance works. The work of the cultural monitors can be guided by the processes and procedures outlined within Recommendation 6 above.
If Frasers proposes to alter the type of works, or to expand their program of works, either in size or scale, beyond what was subject to the heritage survey, it is advised that further consultation with the GKB representatives should be undertaken prior to the commencement of works.
Frasers is advised that only the areas subjected to heritage assessment are clear for the proposed works to proceed subject to Section 18 approval from the Minister. Should the program of works expand in size or scale, or should Frasers wish to conduct activities that differ to those discussed during field work, the GKB representatives will need to be engaged for further heritage assessment.
