Heritage Services

YMAC is a strong representative and advocate for the interests of Traditional Owners in the Pilbara and Yamatji regions. This focus on Traditional Owners and their knowledge, beliefs and values underpins our heritage management strategy at all times.

Our Heritage team provides a range of services (via service agreement) to our clients dependent on and tailored to their unique needs and requirements, and as directed by them. We are committed to using our experience and expertise to build the internal capability of groups and their Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs) to place First Nations peoples front and centre of the decision-making and management of their cultural heritage.

YMAC’s heritage services include (but are not limited to):

• organising archaeological and ethnographic heritage surveys;
• assisting in the ongoing protection of sites and cultural heritage by submitting heritage information;
• managing heritage requests under both state and federal legislation;
• providing social surroundings advice;
• reviewing environmental reports; and
• providing environmental engagement.
