East Arm heritage survey

Client: Onsite Cultural Heritage | Land Development Corporation

The Northern Territory Government is building a Ship Lift at East Arm in Darwin Harbour. Adjacent to the Ship Lift is the site of the World War II Lugger Maintenance Section (LMS) - the operational base for the famous Z Special Unit, the precursor of the Australian commando forces.

The base operated from 1942 – 1945 and at its peak accommodated 500 personnel. Only a third of the original camp area remains on the site with evidence of approximately 18 features including the lugger slipway and concrete structures for workshops, latrines, mess complex, washhouse, battery charging rooms and an engine room.

Rise was contracted by Onsite Cultural Heritage to produce heritage-grade digital twins of the Engine Room, Workshops and Latrine, and orthomosaic mapping of the entire site to inform and support their Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

Technology for the North, designed in the North

By Anna Goat • April 3, 2026

We are so proud to have our investment into the development of a tropical bathymetric USV (unmanned service vehicle) secure matched funding from Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd. Current wastewater survey methods are often not fit-for-purpose for the waste water conditions in tropical Northern Australia - high debris loads and organic matter.
