                      The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not
                      form part of the assessment manager conditions:
                              General Advisory Notes
                      1.      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.
                      2.      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.
                      3.      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.
                      4.      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
                              Sustainable Planning Act 2009 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating
                              the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.

                              Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
                      5.      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.
