50 Requirement to negotiate in good faith
(1) For the purposes of reaching agreement under Division 3 as to the carrying out of the activity, the responsible person and the traditional owner group entity must negotiate with each other in good faith.

(a) a refusal to negotiate about matters that are not related to the impact on the traditional owner rights of the proposed land use activity; or
(b) a refusal to negotiate about aboriginal cultural heritage within the meaning of the **Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006**—
is not a failure to negotiate in good faith.
