               3.     The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with
                      the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume
                      1) as they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that
                      in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to
                      people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed
                      building work:
                      (a)     the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
                      (b)     the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and

                      Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
               4.     There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or
                      obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
                      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 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.

               5.     Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the different
                      aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in application fees will
