7      ADVISORY NOTES

The following Advisory Notes are for information purposes only and do not form conditions of
approval:
1.     The requirements of the Environmental Protection Amendment Regulation (No. 2) 1999 and
       Local Law No. 12, prevents a builder or building contractor carrying out building work on a
       building site in a way that makes or causes audible noise to be made from the building work:-
       1.1.   On a Sunday or public holiday, at any time; or
       1.2.   On a Saturday or a business day, before 7.00am or after 6.30pm.
       A maximum penalty of $1,500 applies to an offence under this legislation.
2.     Prior to the commencement of the development, a plumbing assessment must be obtained
       from Noosa Council’s Plumbing Services Section in accordance with the Plumbing & Drainage
       Act 2002 (as applicable).
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
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 Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss any
obligations under the ACH Act.
