The ILC will
continue its commitment to ensure that the local Indigenous and wider community
are kept informed of developments during the construction phase of the NIDC.
Minister Sartor
has attached a number of conditions to his approval for the development,
including:
• An experienced conservation architect
must be engaged in the design, development and construction of existing
heritage buildings on site.
• Alterations, demolition and new
penetrations to existing heritage-listed buildings are to be kept at a minimum.
• A test excavation must be undertaken on
the site by a qualified archaeologist prior to construction with respect to
Aboriginal and European heritage.
The project will deliver 20 construction
jobs for Indigenous workers as part of the Redfern-Waterloo Authority’s
Indigenous Employment Model.
