                        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.
                        Sustainability
                 2.     In line with Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan, Council seeks to encourage sustainable
                        building design for residential and commercial development. Council encourages the
                        use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
                        photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), water saving devices and
                        rainwater       harvesting.       For        further      information       go      to

                        Performance Bond
                 3.     Where the works include Council assets (construction of new or modifications to
                        existing) a portion of the performance bond will be retained as a “maintenance bond” as
                        described in Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 6 Engineering Design Standards.
                        Alternatively the developer may submit a separate “maintenance bond” at the
                        completion of the works.
                        The bond amount will be:
                        a.      5% of the agreed value of the works or
                        b.      $1500, whichever is the greater amount
                        Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
                 4.     The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is
                        required. Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details
                        that the Levy has been paid.
