                      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.
