        Advisory Notes
        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
        1.   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 on 07 32476212 to discuss any
             obligations under the ACH Act 2003.
        Infrastructure Charges
        2.   This Development Permit will trigger an “Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice”
             (if applicable) to be issued in accordance with Council’s “Adopted Infrastructure
             Charges Resolution” under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted
             Charges) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
        Qualified Persons
        3.   For the purpose of preparing a Rehabilitation Plan, a qualified person is
             considered to be a landscape architect or ecologist with a minimum of 3 years
             current experience in the field of landscape design.
        Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
        4.   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. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call)

        Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
        5.   Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the
             different aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in
             application fees will result if all works are lodged in a single application.
