contains information about —
(a)
Aboriginal cultural material or an Aboriginal site (as those expressions are
defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 ); or

these decisions must
not be made unless Aboriginal bodies concerned with that information have been
consulted about the decision —
(c) a
decision on whether the record will be a State archive;
(d) if
the record is not a State archive, a decision as to the retention period for
the record.
(2) If a State archive

Australians or their culture the disclosure of which is likely to contravene
Aboriginal tradition, these decisions must not be made unless Aboriginal
bodies concerned with that tradition have been consulted about the
decision —
(a) a
decision on whether the archive will be a restricted access archive;
(b) a
decision as to the age at which it will cease to be a restricted access
archive.
