    1.6   Consultation

 GML consulted with the Building and Services Section within the AWM Corporate Services Branch throughout the preparation of the HMP.

 Consultation with relevant Indigenous community members was undertaken in the preparation of this HMP in 2018. This consultation was undertaken in accordance with the Ask First Guidelines.3 In the ACT there are four Representative Aboriginal Organisations (RAOs) with whom consultation should be undertaken for heritage related projects. These RAOs are:

      * Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation;

      * King Brown Tribal Group;

      * Mirrabei (formerly known as Little Gudgenby River Tribal Council); and

      * Ngarigo Currawong Clan.

   Consultation discussion was held on site with Wally Bell of the Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation. All four groups were invited to participate in the consultation on site. A summary of the consultation is in included in Section 3.2.11 of this report.

     2.0
     Understanding the Place—Historical Context

 This section provides a summary of the history of both the AWM as a place and the Memorial as an organisation. It draws on the historical analysis presented in the 1995 CMP1 and 2011 HMP, supplemented with additional material relating to the recent history of the place.

 Further historical information regarding individual elements within the AWM is provided in the Heritage Register.

    2.1   Aboriginal Cultural and Historical Context

 Tribal boundaries within Australia are largely based on linguistic evidence and it is probable that boundaries, clan estates and band ranges were fluid and varied over time. Consequently, 'tribal boundaries' as delineated today must be regarded as approximations only and relative to the period of, or immediately before, European contact. Social interaction across these language boundaries appears to have been a common occurrence.

 According to Tindale,2 the territories of the Ngunawal, Ngarigo and the Walgalu peoples coincide and meet in the Queanbeyan area. The AWM probably falls within the tribal boundaries of the Ngunawal people.
