HERITAGE — THREE SISTERS HILLS
115. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:
I refer to question without notice 1320 asked in the
Legislative Council on 24 November 2020.
(1) Given that
I personally lodged the site heritage data in late March 2008 on behalf of
Vincent Lockyer, who, unfortunately, has passed away, after having surveyed the
area on 1 March 2008, and the site form included reference to surface artefacts—also
supplied was a CD containing photographs of the artefacts—why did the
minister of the day say that there was no knowledge of the surface artefacts?
(2) Given that
The Sisters remains on the other heritage site classification as ID 24950, is
The Sisters in a queue to be assessed for registration?
(3) If yes to (2), what is the expected year that this site
will be assessed for registration?
(4) If no to (2), why not?
