15.8  Protection of Aboriginal Heritage and Aboriginal rights

(a)  It is of critical importance to the Participants that the Participants have a very good working relationship with Aboriginal people and the organisations which represent them. Accordingly, consistent with the Aboriginal Heritage management plan included in the Project Management System, it is an objective of the Project Owner to ensure that nothing that any of the Participants may do or omit to do in performing the Works harms that relationship.

(b)  The Participants too are committed to the protection of Aboriginal Heritage and Aboriginal rights and must ensure that they, their employees, agents, Subcontractors, consultants and suppliers comply with:

(1)  all applicable Statutory Requirements relating to Aboriginal Heritage and Native Title Laws;

(2)  any agreements or arrangements between the Project Owner and Aboriginal people in relation to Aboriginal Heritage;

(3)  the Project Owner's instructions reasonably required to enable the Project Owner to comply with any Statutory Requirements, agreements, arrangements or requirements of any other Authorisation relating to Aboriginal Heritage and Native Title Laws; and

(4)  the Aboriginal Heritage management plan included as part of the Project Management System.
