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.
Advertising Devices
All Advertising Devices must comply with Schedule 10 of Subordinate Local Law No.1 (Administration) 2015 including both temporary and permanent signage. All freestanding, pylon or pole signs or signage that is illuminated requires approval from Council prior to being installed. All signage identified in s6 of Schedule 10 of Subordinate Local Law No. 1 is prohibited from being erected in the Shire.
