"#Indigenous community members have described their shock and anger after an Aboriginal rock shelter was 'damaged beyond recovery' by contractors building transmission lines for a #NewSouthWales renewable energy zone.

"The #HeritageSite was destroyed by bulldozers in March during the construction of access tracks for the #CentralWestOrana renewable energy zone, a transmission line project located about 300km north-west of #Sydney.

"The network company #Acerez, engaged by the state government to design, build and operate the infrastructure project, discovered the damage in May while undertaking due diligence checks.

"A company spokesperson said processes to protect the shelter 'were not fully implemented'.

" 'We are deeply sorry and apologise without reservation to the #TraditionalOwners and to the local community,' they said."
