be undertaken by Unitywater at the applicant’s cost.
A 150mm diameter water main is located within the road boundary fronting the

excessive vibration and excavation close to the main may cause damage to the pipe.
Extreme care is required when working close to this infrastructure. All costs
associated with repair, replacement or alteration of infrastructure must be met by the
applicant.
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.

in accordance with Council’s policies. The payment of the bonds will be
required prior the prestart meeting for the Operation Works.

contrary to the Advertising Devices Code.
