ACHM continues to provide dedicated cultural heritage support to Traditional Owners across multiple Fortescue projects, ensuring their knowledge, authority and rights remain central to all heritage processes on Country.
Our work includes delivering detailed environmental and social‑surroundings assessments for Fortescue proposals—such as the East Hamersley Railway—where ACHM captured and communicated Traditional Owners concerns about cultural values, water management, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and the need for all consultations and cultural mapping to occur on Country with the correct knowledge holders.
ACHM also undertakes extensive ethnographic and archaeological surveys, ensuring site identification, cultural landscape assessments and recommendations are grounded in direct on‑Country work with Banjima representatives.
Across all engagements, ACHM works to exceed expectations for culturally appropriate consultation, proper protection of heritage sites, and transparent project planning—ensuring Fortescue’s activities align with Banjima cultural responsibilities.
ACHM have completed extensive archaeological and ethnographic surveys for the Fortescue Solomon rail alignment, Solomon rail camp, Fig Tree, White Knight, Flinders and Investigator projects.
