    Advisory Notes
    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 on 07 32476212 to discuss any
          obligations under the ACH Act 2003.
