MINING and development groups have condemned proposed fines of up to $1.1 million for destroying indigenous heritage in NSW, saying the new laws are unfair, will hold up development and could mean innocent company directors would be prosecuted.

Planned changes to the National Parks and Wildlife Act would make it an offence for anyone unknowingly to harm indigenous objects or sites without a permit, unless they can show they have exercised ''due diligence'' to ensure harm is unlikely.

Maximum penalties would rise to $110,000 or six months' jail for individuals and $220,000 for corporations that unknowingly harm objects - and more for those who knowingly do so.
