Given its heritage listing and long history as a working harbour facility, the site required archaeological assessment and management throughout remediation works. Artefact was appointed to develop an unidentified finds procedure prior to excavation commencing. This was both a mandatory and a necessary measure as archaeological items were located during the works. Our expertise rapidly identified and reported on the finds, allowing decontamination to continue.
The decontamination was a crucial part of the early works for the Wollongong Harbour Master Plan which in the short terms aims to enhance the community’s use of the space for recreation, tourism and events. In the long term the Master Plan envisages the redevelopment of the area to open the harbour edge to pedestrians.
