An Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Land Management Agreement, or ACHLMA, is a voluntary agreement between a Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) and a public land manager (PLM), as defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. An ACHLMA establishes a mutually agreed framework for protecting and managing Aboriginal cultural heritage during ongoing, routine land management activities on Crown land within a RAP area. ACHLMAs document the negotiated approach to land management activities and cultural heritage management actions, as well as any other matters established through the agreement, within a specified Agreement Area, and over a specified period of time. ACHLMAs are designed to facilitate a joint, holistic approach to the ongoing protection and management of Aboriginal cultural heritage during land management activities.
