Due diligence/risk assessment reports
It may be appropriate in certain circumstances to prepare a due diligence/risk assessment for particular projects, for example:
Due diligence/risk assessments are smaller in scale, quicker and cheaper than preparing a CHMP and, where it is deemed appropriate, may be recommended by CWHC as a preliminary step in determining if a further cultural heritage assessment is required.
Legally avoiding the preparation of a CHMP will result in significant time and financial savings to the client. However, if the due diligence/risk assessment indicates that a CHMP is required, much of the cost of the initial assessment will be offset by not recharging for tasks already undertaken as part of that process during the preparation of the CHMP.
- Where local Council has indicated that a CHMP should be prepared for a project but it is likely that the area that will be impacted has already been significantly disturbed by prior activities.
- It is possible for all proposed works to avoid all areas of cultural heritage significance on a property but the extent of any heritage/areas of significance needs to be clearly defined.
