Description
Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory commissioned the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) to conduct an archaeological survey of the proposed expansion of the car park and camping grounds at Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park. The survey was conducted on 28 October 2004 by Gerard Niemoeller and Dianne Bensley.
This survey was conducted in response to concerns raised by Werat Traditional Owner Daisy Marjar over the proposed expansion. The current survey follows a preliminary inspection conducted by OEH in February 2004 that recommended a more detailed assessment of the area be conducted once a higher level of visibility was available (Appendix 1).
Three aims were identified for this study:
1. Identify cultural heritage values through consultation with Werat Traditional Owners
2. Identify previously recorded heritage places on relevant Territory and Commonwealth registers
3. Conduct a survey of the proposed expansion to identify archaeological places and objects protected under the Northern Territory Heritage Conservation Act 1991 and provide management options.
