    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
    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 3247 6212 to discuss any
          obligations under the ACH Act.
    Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
    2.    Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the different
          aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in application fees will
          result if all works are lodged in a single application.
    Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
    3.    A preliminary Construction Management Plan must be submitted with the Operational
          Works application and must address the following:
          a.   traffic management during all aspects of the construction phase including:
               i.    a Traffic Management Control Plan in accordance with the Manual of
                     Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) detailing all temporary signage
                     and traffic control measures prior to construction.
               ii.   maintenance of safe pedestrian access for the areas affected by the
                     works during and after daily construction has ceased.
