ADVISORY NOTES

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

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

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:

a. the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);

b. the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and

c. the Disability (Access to Premises — Buildings) Standards.
