               7.     ADVISORY NOTES

               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      Equitable Access and Facilities
               1.     The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the
                      requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people with
                      disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the requirements of
                      the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people with disabilities, one or both
                      of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
                         (a)      the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth); and
                         (b)      Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland).
                         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
               2.     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.
