    Equitable Access and Facilities
    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)
    (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
    (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
    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 3238 3838 to discuss any
    obligations under the ACH Act.
