    Advisory Notes
    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 on 07 32476212 to discuss any
          obligations under the ACH Act.
    Infrastructure Charges
    2.    This Development Permit will trigger an “Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice” (if
          applicable) to be issued in accordance with Council’s “Adopted Infrastructure
          Charges Resolution” under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted
          Charges) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
    Qualified Persons
    3.    For the purpose of preparing a Rehabilitation Plan, a qualified person is considered to
          be a landscape architect or ecologist with a minimum of 3 years current experience in
          the field of landscape design.
    Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
    4.    The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is
          required. Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details
          that the Levy has been paid. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call) or (07) 3212

    Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
    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 result if all works are lodged in a single application.
    Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
    6.    A preliminary Construction Management Plan must be submitted with the Operational
          Works application and must address the following:
