ACHM has provided long‑term cultural heritage support to the Banjima People for more than twenty years across multiple HanRoy and Hancock Prospecting projects. Throughout this partnership, we have prioritised cultural authority, on‑Country decision‑making, and the protection of significant heritage places.
Our teams work collaboratively with the Banjima people throughout all stages of project delivery. This includes major archaeological site recording, as well as detailed ethnographic assessments across the proposed Mulga Downs Iron Ore Project.
Together, ACHM and Banjima representatives have assessed project impacts and identified culturally sensitive ethnographic locations requiring dedicated protection. These programs have also contributed to significant archaeological discoveries, including rockshelters with evidence of human occupation dating back approximately 46,000 years.
ACHM’s approach strengthens Banjima oversight, supports their cultural governance frameworks, and ensures that all HanRoy developments are managed in a culturally informed, respectful, and collaborative manner.
