Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003

This section applies if a person carrying out an activity, including for example a land user, seeks information from the database.

The chief executive must give the person information from the database if, in the chief executive’s opinion, the person has a particular need to be aware of the information for satisfying the person’s cultural heritage duty of care.

However, the person does not necessarily comply with the person’s cultural heritage duty of care only because the person has consulted the database.

If information is to be given to the person under subsection (2), the information may be given to a nominee or professional advisor acting for the person.
