Decision Notice MCU23 0134 & OPW23 0159 · MCU23/0134

                      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.
                      General Advisory Notes
               2.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects
                      of the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
               3.     The approval or conditions do not absolve the owner of the land from complying with all the
                      conditions of this approval and/or relevant Council By-Laws and Policies and/or relevant
                      statues and/or statutory regulations in the execution and/or performance of said works.
               4.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               5.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
               6.     The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is required.
                      Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has
                      been paid.
