        ADVISORY NOTES
        Engineering Certification
        1.    Council has undertaken an audit check of the submitted plans in relation 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.
        General Environmental Advisory Note
        2.    The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out
              any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the
              person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise
              the harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard
              persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks, construction and
              landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
              environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.

        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
        3.    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.
              You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to
              discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
