Kandanga Cemetery

On the 6 October 2009 the Coordinator-General released his assessment of the proposed Traveston crossing Dam. In the report the Coordinator-General imposed several conditions upon the proponent surrounding the Kandanga Cemetery, should the project receive approval. The following extract is taken from the Coordinator-General's Evaluation Report Traveston Crossing Dam Stage 1, pg345 – 346:

(h) The proponent must identify measures to mitigate potential flood impacts at Kandanga Cemetery as a result of the Project.

(i) The measure for mitigating potential flood impacts at Kandanga Cemetery must be:

(i) developed through a consultation process facilitated by an
appropriately qualified and independent facilitator approved by the
Coordinator-General

(ii) developed in consultation with members of the Kandanga
community and those with a direct connection to the cemetery
identified by the independent facilitator

(iii) directed at achieving consensus of the preferred approaches to
mitigating potential flood impacts

(j) In the absence of a consensus decision in condition 32(i)(iii), based on the
advice of the independent facilitator, the Coordinator-General may require the
proponent to implement the grass verge as a mitigation measure as described
in at page 15-105 of the EIS

(k) The preferred approach to mitigating potential flood impacts in accordance with 32(h) to 32(j) must be implemented prior to the Completion of Construction.

The Community Futures Task Force is available to discuss concerns that individuals, or families, may have about the future of the cemetery.
