ACHM supported planning for the Wallan–Kilmore Bypass through the provision of specialist cultural heritage advice, drawing on our extensive experience in archaeological and ethnographic assessment across major infrastructure projects.
Our involvement focused on identifying and managing Aboriginal cultural heritage places within the proposed alignment, ensuring that early‑stage design and environmental approvals processes properly accounted for cultural values, site protection requirements, and legislative obligations under Victorian heritage law.
By applying the same rigorous methodologies we use across Australia—including systematic field survey, cultural values assessment, and clear, defensible reporting—ACHM helped ensure that decision‑makers had an accurate understanding of the cultural landscape, enabling a bypass design that balanced infrastructure needs with responsible protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
