When is a CHMP required? A CHMP is required when a 'high impact activity' is planned in an area of 'cultural heritage sensitivity'.

Who approves a CHMP?

The CHMP must be approved by the appropriate statutory authority, often an Aboriginal organisation known as a Registered Aboriginal Party, or RAP or Aboriginal Affairs Victoria.

How much does a CHMP cost?

Costs generally range from $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 for a Desktop CHMP, $5,000.00 to $20,000.00 plus for a Standard CHMP, and $10,000.00 to $100,000 plus for a Complex CHMP. Small developments (e.g. three dwellings on an existing residential allotment) generally incur costs of under $10,000.00 for a Complex CHMP.
