AKWP Heritage Advisors provide ethical and cost-effective heritage advice to ensure your project meets the requirements of Victorian heritage legislation including the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Amendments as at 1 May 2026) and the Heritage Act 1995.

We work with government, local councils, developers, infrastructure providers, consultants, businesses and private clients on projects of all sizes – from small, straightforward heritage assessments and individual developments through to large, complex and multi-stage projects.

We’ll manage the process from start to finish with regular progress updates. Includes consultation with relevant Aboriginal community groups and Registered Aboriginal Parties.

We also offer additional services of salvage excavation and post excavation analysis. All our work complies with the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006.

Historical Heritage Impact Assessments

We can help you understand heritage requirements and give you solutions that will meet your obligations so you can continue with your project as smoothly and quickly as possible.
