ABORIGINAL HERITAGE ACT 2006 (NO 16 OF 2006) - SECT 81

When can a cultural heritage audit be ordered?

    (1)     The Minister may order a cultural heritage audit to be carried out if, on the advice of the Secretary, the Council or an inspector, the Minister reasonably believes that—

        (a)     the sponsor of an approved cultural heritage management plan has contravened, or is likely to contravene, the recommendations in the plan; or

        (b)     the holder of a cultural heritage permit has contravened, or is likely to contravene a condition of the permit; or

        (c)     the impact on Aboriginal cultural heritage of an activity to which an approved cultural heritage management plan or a cultural heritage permit applies will be greater than that determined at the time the plan was approved or the permit was granted.

    (2)     The Minister must give notice of a decision to order a cultural heritage audit

        (a)     if the audit relates to an approved cultural heritage management plan, to the sponsor of the plan and each registered Aboriginal party that evaluated the plan; or

        (b)     if the audit relates to a cultural heritage permit, to the holder of the permit and each relevant registered Aboriginal party.
