5. Native title and artefacts
| Principle Government will generally assume responsibility for dealing with native title applications and claims. The private party will be responsible for identifying and dealing with all artefacts in accordance with relevant legislation. The private party will generally only be able to claim Relief or Compensation where it is directed to cease the project activities as a consequence of a native title application or claim or discovery of an artefact.19 |
