        Queensland Regional Plan area any approval should recognise the requirements of the the Draft Urban
        Stormwater -Queensland Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines 2009'.

        General information for assessment managers
        The State's Native Title Work Procedures provide that responsibility for assessment of native title issues for
        an IDAS application rests with the assessment manager. Therefore, DERM as a referral agency for the
        relevant application has not provided notification to native title parties.

        Additional information for applicants

        It is a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if an owner or occupier of land becomes
        aware of a Notifiable Activity (as defined in Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 of the Environmental Protection Act
        1994) being carried out on the land, or that the land has been, or is being, contaminated by a hazardous
        contaminant, the owner or occupier must, within 22 business days after becoming so aware, give written
        notice to the Department of Environment and Resource Management.

        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
        Under section 23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 a person who carries out an activity must take
        all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage
        (the "cultural heritage duty of care"). Maximum penalties for breaching the duty of care are $750,000 for a
        corporation and $75,000 for an individual.
        Applicants will comply with the duty of care in relation to Aboriginal cultural heritage if they are acting in
        accordance with cultural heritage duty of care guidelines gazetted under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act
        2003, available on the DERM website, or in accordance with an agreement with the Aboriginal party for the
        area or a cultural heritage management plan approved under part 7 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act
        2003.
        Applicants are also encouraged to undertake a search of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Database and the
        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Register, administered by the Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit, DERM.
