Social License to Operate

The relationship between Aboriginal people, miners, and other project developers has changed significantly in the last 20 years. Keogh Bay can assist your project stakeholders to develop mutually beneficial and respectful long-term relationships with Traditional Owners, founded on well-structured, practical agreements. We aim to avoid adversarial and exploitative engagements by starting from a foundation of principles and respect. We look for mutual benefit and take the concerns of all parties seriously.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage laws:

Australia’s Aboriginal Heritage laws oblige project stakeholders to work with Aboriginal people to identify and manage sites or items of cultural significance. Keogh Bay specialises in negotiating and drafting practical cultural heritage management agreements as well as supervising cultural heritage surveys.

Native Title laws:

The Native Title Act of 1994 requires mining and resource project stakeholders to engage in good faith negotiations with native title holders or claimants impacted by exploration and project development. Our advisory services include:

Aboriginal Engagement Strategies:

The need for an agreement is often the first time an enterprise focuses on its relationship with Traditional Owners. Your approach to agreement making should be founded on sound business principles that go beyond the need to tick the appropriate box which is where Keogh Bay’s expert advice can prove invaluable.

Agreement negotiation strategies:

Keogh Bay works with resource businesses to foster positive agreement negotiation strategies including advising on costs and timing, likely content, and position options. Our holistic management approach allows us to better advise you regarding your long-term relationships with Traditional Owners and successfully oversee the various associates – archaeologists, anthropologists, negotiators, lawyers, Aboriginal liaison consultants, and so on – needed to reach an agreement.

Agreement implementation and relationship building:

Forging an agreement with Traditional Owners is just the start of your relationship. The ongoing implementation of an agreement can be as challenging as its negotiation. Keogh Bay can help your organisation streamline its internal systems enabling you to meet your Aboriginal training and employment, land access, cultural awareness, and related agreement obligations and build respectful and durable relationships for the life of your project.
