Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
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 Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
Equitable Access and Facilities
The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities.  Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
Waste Water Treatment and Disposal System
The establishment of a waste water treatment and disposal system for the site requires a Compliance Permit to be obtained from Council under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002. The system must be designed in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code (Department of State Development and Infrastructure & Planning, 2007) and Australian Standard AS/NZS1547: 2000 “On-site Domestic Wastewater Management” or an alternative solution approved through Council’s Building and Plumbing branch. Where a development exceeds the accommodation or use of 21 or more equivalent persons a copy of an Operator’s Licence from the relevant State will also be required.
Property Driveway and Vehicle Crossover
The planning scheme declares Operational Work for the construction of a driveway and vehicle crossover to the property to be self-assessable against the Low Density Housing Code. A self-assessable application is required to be submitted to Council for the vehicle crossover (*link below) OR if the proposed driveway and vehicle crossover does not comply with each Acceptable Solution contained in the Code, a Development Permit for the work is required to be obtained from Council.
