ACHM has been a key heritage partner to Goulburn‑Murray Water (GMW) through the long‑running G‑MW Connections project—Victoria’s largest irrigation modernisation program. Over more than a decade, ACHM has delivered extensive cultural heritage management services across more than 300 individual infrastructure construction sites, including numerous Approved Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMPs) and due diligence assessments.
Our work has also included highly specialised archaeological programs, most notably the excavation, dating and careful repatriation of an important Pleistocene burial site at Ghow (Kow) Swamp in northern Victoria. In addition to the Connections program, ACHM continues to provide cultural heritage support across a wide portfolio of GMW projects—ranging from CHMPs for pipeline upgrades and regulator replacements to early‑stage design advice, GIS analysis, and heritage risk assessments—all ensuring that critical water infrastructure modernisation proceeds efficiently, lawfully and with full respect for Traditional Owner values.
