HeritageAuthority(s): 

Case Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

This aspect of the project consists of protecting two archeologically sensitive caves: the Equus Cave and the Black Earth Cave. The structures will be located at a reasonably safe distance from the sensitive site. Via audio and visual technology the visitor will be able to discover the caves with no physical presence inside the sensitive site. It was also proposed that both pavilions be made of concrete with local aggregate but constructed on a raft foundation where necessary to eliminate all need to dig deep excavations for foundations. Steel has been eliminated due to the theft and vandalism commonly occurring in the entire site precinct.
