All significant Aboriginal cultural heritage in Queensland is protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act
2003, and penalty provisions apply for any unauthorized harm. Under the legislation a person carrying out an
activity must take all reasonable and practical measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal Cultural
Heritage. This applies whether or not such places are recorded in an official register and whether or not they
are located in, on or under private land.

Aboriginal cultural heritage, which may occur on the subject property, is protected under the terms of the
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 even if Natural Resources & Water has no records relating to it.

Please refer to our website www.nrw.qid.gov.au/cultural_heritage/index.html for a copy of the gazetted
Cultural Heritage duty of care guidelines, which set out reasonable and practical measures for meeting the duty
of care. In order to meet your duty of care, any land use activity within the vicinity of the recorded cultural
heritage, should not proceed without the agreement of the Aboriginal Party for the area or a Cultural

Heritage Management Plan undertaken pursuant to Part 7 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.

The Aboriginal party for the area is:
