Widjabul Wia-bal Traditional Owners have rejected bringing the proposed Dunoon Dam back to the area's water strategy.
The dam would inundate ancient burial sites and extensive evidence of occupation in the past and in recent times.
John Roberts, a senior elder of the Widjabul Wia-bal people, said he was one of the stakeholders consulted in 2011 about the impact of the Dunoon Dam on cultural heritage.
"In the 2011 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment prepared for Rous, we stakeholders said with one voice that no level of disturbance was acceptable to us," he said.
"We still say that. Nothing has changed. There is no need for another study. Our opinion has not changed."
