A Cultural Heritage Assessment (CHA) is a detailed report of the findings from assessing an area that may be of cultural significance. If a CHA determines that there are legitimate reasons why a Cultural Heritage Management Plan is not required, this can significantly reduce compliance costs. A CHA can be prepared as part of your due diligence process, impact statement, or as expert evidence prepared for presentation to Council or VCAT. We can also act on your behalf as expert witnesses at VCAT or panel hearings.
