Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
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 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 Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss any
obligations under the ACH Act.
