| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the activity description and the searches the lawyer supplies, build a table of the measures proposed against the ways the Queensland page says the cultural heritage duty of care can be met: the gazetted duty of care guidelines, an approved cultural heritage management plan, a native title agreement or other agreement with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander party that addresses cultural heritage, or native title protection conditions for low-impact mineral exploration where those conditions address cultural heritage. Note if the activity is said to be an emergency. Do not decide that the duty has been met. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the duty applies and whether the measures are reasonable and practicable. The Queensland page says anyone carrying out a land-use activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures not to harm Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage. The duty applies where that heritage is located, including on freehold, and whether or not it is recorded on a database. Consultation with the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander party may be necessary if the risk of harm is high. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the activity description and the searches the lawyer supplies, build a table of the measures proposed against the ways the Queensland page says the cultural heritage duty of care can be met: the gazetted duty of care guidelines, an approved cultural heritage management plan, a native title agreement or other agreement with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander party that addresses cultural heritage, or native title protection conditions for low-impact mineral exploration where those conditions address cultural heritage. Note if the activity is said to be an emergency. Do not decide that the duty has been met.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the duty applies and whether the measures are reasonable and practicable. The Queensland page says anyone carrying out a land-use activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures not to harm Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage. The duty applies where that heritage is located, including on freehold, and whether or not it is recorded on a database. Consultation with the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander party may be necessary if the risk of harm is high.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Do not treat absence from the cultural heritage database as absence of heritage.
2. Match each proposed measure to one of the compliance paths on the Queensland page, or mark it as outside those paths.
3. Confirm the activity's state. This table is built from the Queensland page only.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
