Appeal 26-042 - Lodgement Documents

                        Sunshine Coast Regional Council recommends that the following matters be considered
                        to address equitable access and facilities in the building:
                          (a)          the building and environs should be designed to meet the requirements of the
                                       Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission “Advisory Notes on Access
                                       to Premises” and AS 1428.2;
                          (b)          applicants should be aware that a “Disability Standard on Access to premises”
                                       is currently being developed and most likely will impose changes on the
                                       Building Code of Australia; and
                          (c)          any services and facilities in the building complex should allow independent,
                                       dignified and equitable use of the services and facilities for all people.
                        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
                 9.     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 Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to discuss
                        any obligations under the ACH Act.
                        Resubmission of Amended Plans Required
                 10.    The conditions of this Decision Notice require resubmission of plans to Council with
                        amendments. Please address the amended plans to Council’s Development
                        Assessment Branch with the Reference No. MCU10/2113.03. To avoid delays and
                        assessment issues with the Building Works application, it is recommended the plans be
                        resubmitted prior to lodgement of any Building Works application. However, should the
                        plans not be submitted, the applicant is advised that a Preliminary Approval may be
                        issued in lieu of a Development Permit.
