The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
of the assessment manager conditions:
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
1. There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who
carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the
activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the
duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations
breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources
Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity
that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value
of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
Equitable Access and Facilities
2. The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the
requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as
they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition
to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with
disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:

Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has
been paid.
Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
4. Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the different
aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in application fees will result
if all works are lodged in a single application.
Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
5. A preliminary Construction Management Plan must be submitted with the Operational Works
application and must address the following:
a. Traffic management during all phases of construction;
b. Adequate parking arrangements for works and deliveries;
c. appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD); and

during daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.

(Administration) 2015 including both temporary and permanent signage. All freestanding,
pylon or pole signs or signage that is illuminated requires approval from Council prior to being
installed. All signage identified in s6 of Schedule 10 of Subordinate Local Law No. 1 is
prohibited from being erected in the Shire.
Development Compliance Inspection

Branch to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
