                        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.
