      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


                                                                                        Page 3 of 10

     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
     (c) the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
     Development Compliance Inspection
3.   Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's Development Assessment
     Branch to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.

     “Infrastructure Charges” (as applicable) in accordance with Council’s “Charges Resolution”
     made pursuant to the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue.
     Nature Conservation Act
5.   It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure compliance with the Nature Conservation
     Wildlife Management Regulation 2006 which is regulated by the State Government.

     Conservation Wildlife Management Regulation 2006. Further information regarding this
     matter can be obtained at this website https://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/licences-permits/plants-

Should any doubt exist in maintaining the prescribed clearance to the overhead
conductors and electrical infrastructure then the applicant is obliged under the

easement is required. All works on easement (including but not limited to
earthworks, drainage and detention basins, road construction, underground and
overhead services installation) require detailed submissions, assessment, and
consent (or otherwise) by Energex.

underground electrical lines are to be undertaken in accordance with Energex's
Works Practice Manual WP1323. This document refers to various standards,
guidelines, calculations, legal requirements, technical details, and other
information relevant to working near high voltage infrastructure. A copy of
WP1323 can be found online via Energex's document library (Document library
