Dear Mick, 

RE:  Survey  invitation  and  letter  of  engagement:  Indigenous  Archaeological  Assessment  at  Diamond 

Beach 

 

Site  officers  have  been  selected  by  the  proponent  for  the  above  named  survey  and  are  based  on  the 

information provided by each Service Provider that was requested with the information pack sent to you 

on 29/4/16. Unfortunately MCH did not receive the information requested in the information pack for the 

above named project from you.  

 

Oceanic Realty has received a number of applications and after careful consideration we regret to advise 

that your application for paid participation has been unsuccessful. We do appreciate the time taken to 

submit an application and wish to reconfirm our intention to positively engage with the local Aboriginal 

community. In this spirit, if you wish to still participate in the survey (17/6/16) on an unpaid basis, or be 

kept up‐to‐date on the progress of the survey, please contact Penny McCardle.  Please note that if you 

intend to participate in the site survey then: 

 

•

  Before  commencement  you  must  notify  MCH  for  access  arrangements  and  notification  and 

provide  MCH  with  a  Certificate  of  Currency  for  Workers  Compensation  and  Public  Liability 

insurance.  MCH  will also provide  you with  our  OH&S  requirements  for  field  staff and  request 

that you ensure all field staff participating in the project have read and understood the document 

fully prior to going out on site ; and 

 

•

  All  field  participants  must  wear  covered  shoes,  long  pants  and  long  shirt  (hi‐visibility)  with 

appropriate  sun  protection  including  hat.  It  is  recommended  that  participants  bring  adequate 

amounts of food and water for the day. 

 

As  all  communications,  including  phone  calls,  faxes,  letters,  and  e‐mails  must  be  included  in  the 

consultation component of the report as per the OEH requirements, please ensure that any items that you 

or  your  group  deem  confidential  are  made  apparent  to  your  field  representative  prior  to  field  work  to 

ensure  that  information  remains  confidential  if  required.  Failure  to  disclose  that  information  is 

confidential may result in the information being included in the report.

Following the completion of the survey, a draft copy of the assessment will be made available to you for 

comment. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Penny McCardle on

Dear Ms McCardle 

 

Re:  Survey 16

th

 June 2016 Diamond Beach 

I draw your attention in this late hour regarding the contractual agreement.  

 

The standard minimum hours are duly four (4) hours please be advised anything under will still be 

charged at the standard rate of $120 per hourly rate.    

With consideration to the Proponent who is on Worimi Country I anticipate the business intended to 

be carried out holds to the Worimi Country protocol of having Worimi Custodians present on the 

areas wishing to be developed. 

Further as to Worimi protocol any significant finds require the presence of an on‐site qualified 

Worimi Custodian.  The area in which the Indigenous Archaeological Assessment is taking place 

today requires attention to the potential exposure of tribal burials.    This is in consideration to 

disturbing the earth for development. 

As Worimi Country we require a male and female present as such I have elected to request the 

Proponent to issue paid employment for the presence of Cultural Consulting Services of Robert 

Yettica.  Robert is a traditional knowledge holder in his own right of the Worimi Country.   

Please note I am not referring this to any other area of communications and believe the Proponent 

must be informed immediately and made aware of the Worimi jurisdiction on these matters of 

business in the area of our culture and heritage in Worimi Country as Custodians of our land. 

I look forward to the Proponents immediate communications on this matter.   

 

Chief Custodian Elvina

Re: Letter Re: Diamond Beach Future DA and Proponents

Hi Penny 

 

Please relay to the Proponent.  For the consult over the mobile I will still be charging a consult fee which 

you may forward to the Proponent for four hours work as a qualified woman of the land.  NOTED:  ALL 

COMMUNICATIONS BY EMAIL, MOBILE, FAX, PHONE ARE ACCEPTED.   

 

A minimum of 4 hours at a higher level of communications about the issues involved with carrying out an 

Indigenous Archaeological Assessment for the Proponent.    This is in Worimi jurisdiction being the total 

sum of 4 hours by $120 being a total sum of $480.00.  AS per discussion there are issues with the way the 

State has developed its controversial amalgamation which carries with it no set protocols or principles of 

dealing with Worimi Custodians.  This sets a precedent for Worimi jurisdiction as to  qualifications I hold as 

Chief Custodian of sacred ground. 

 

I am now working on the set standard procedure.  Nothing of what is within the RAP approach for Worimi.

Am I correct in saying that you plan to charge the proponent for our phone conversations last week whereby you
