ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                     18 DECEMBER 2014


         Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
         3.    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.
    B.   Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
         the planning scheme:
         1.    The development will help to address a significant need for low-cost
               accommodation for self-contained RV travellers in the Noosa area.
         2.    The development will provide economic and community benefit through
               increased visitation to the Noosa hinterland.
         3.    The development provides for the adaptive re-use of the existing nursery on the
               site.
         4.    The site’s location near the Bruce Highway is appropriate to cater for self-
               contained RV traveller’s needs.
         5.    The development will not have significant adverse impacts on residential
               amenity or water supply quality.
