You will need an Authority Certificate if you intend to use or work on Aboriginal sacred sites. This Certificate is a legally binding document that protects sacred sites from damage by setting out the conditions for using or carrying out works on an area of land and/or sea.
A licence defines the need to obtain recognition / certification and registration to undertake a certain business activity.
To be eligible, the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority must be satisfied that the proposed works can proceed without there being a substantive risk of damage to or interference with a sacred site.
