5.   ADVISORY NOTES

The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form
part of the referral agency conditions:
PLANNING
     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 to discuss any obligations under the ACH
     Act.
     Equitable Access and Facilities
2.   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
     c.    the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
     Sustainability

     building design for residential and commercial development. Council encourages the
     use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
     photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), water saving devices and
     rainwater       harvesting.       For        further      information       go       to
