         Advisory Notes
         Unitywater
         Connection to Unitywater live water mains and the Unitywater live sewer system must
         be undertaken by Unitywater at the applicant’s cost.
         A 150mm diameter water main is located within the road boundary fronting the
         development site in Rene Street. Construction works, heavy traffic crossing the main,
         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.
