Inviting comments from ATSIC

 (1A) As soon as practicable after receiving a referral of a proposal to take an action, the Environment Minister must:
 (a) inform the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission; and
 (b) invite the Commission to give the Minister comments within 10 business days (measured in Canberra) on whether the proposed action is a controlled action;
if the Minister thinks that section 15B, 15C, 23, 24A, 26, 27A, 27B, 27C or 28 could be a controlling provision for the action because of the indigenous heritage value of a National Heritage place or Commonwealth Heritage place.

Note 1: Subsections 15B(4) and subsections 15C(7) and (8) protect the National Heritage values of National Heritage places, to the extent that those values are indigenous heritage values.

Note 2: Sections 23, 24A, 26, 27A, 27B, 27C and 28 protect the environment, which includes the heritage values of places. See the definition of environment in section 528.
