PUBLIC NOTICES Invitation for Registrations of Interest Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Nyngan to Cobar Pipeline Project, Bogan Shire and Cobar Shire LGAs Water Infrastructure NSW (WINSW) is proposing to replace and expand approximately 107 km of an existing pipeline between Nyngan and Cobar, including approximately 10 km of pipeline between the Cobar Water Treatment Plant and Cobar Water Storages. Pump Stations at Nyngan, Hermidale and the Cobar Water Storages will also be replaced. The existing pipelines run from the Bogan River Weir pool, just south of the town of Nyngan, through Hermidale, towards the town of Cobar through ~130 km of dual pipelines. The first 30 km of pipeline from the Nyngan Pump Station was replaced previously and is not included in this project. The Project seeks to increase water security for consumers, including townships and mining companies, who rely on pipeline operations, and to provide additional capacity for continued growth in the region.

EMM, on behalf of WINSW, invites Aboriginal individuals and organisations who hold cultural knowledge relevant to determining the significance of Aboriginal objects and/or places in the area, and who wish to be involved in the consultation process undertaken as part of the assessment to register their interests. The purpose of Aboriginal community consultation is to assist WINSW in: 1) assessing the Aboriginal heritage values of the area; 2) to assist NSW Government in the assessment of Aboriginal heritage reports prepared for this project; and 3) to support any future applications or approvals for the project sought under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and/or the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
