on natural or cultural values.

The tourism industry is a key stakeholder in the conservation and management of the KAVHA site.
Representatives from the tourism industry should be actively involved through communication, consultation and
collaboration; and should have the opportunity to identify needs and opportunities. Projects which concurrently
benefit the KAVHA site and support tourism should be identified and implemented. Equally, the KAVHA site
management should partner with the Norfolk Island tourism industry in shaping overall tourism strategies.
Arrangements should be instigated for the introduction of a direct financial contribution towards the
conservation and management of the KAVHA site from all commercial tourism activities. These arrangements
should be developed and introduced through a consultative process.

Section 7: Strategic Principles 97
Authorised Version F2016L01891 registered 09/12/2016

Jean Rice Architect | CONTEXT | GML Heritage

7.5 Education and Information

State Parties to the World Heritage Convention have the responsibility to... use educational and information
programmes to strengthen appreciation and respect by their peoples of the cultural and natural heritage.®

The key principles are:

Heritage values should be transmitted to future generations.

Outstanding interpretation should be provided on and off the KAVHA site.

Interpretation of the KAVHA site should present a full range of stories related to all
the phases of settlement.

Educational outreach should be provided locally and off site.

Links and networks should be established with other Norfolk Island heritage places,
the other properties which form part of the Australian Convict Sites and other
related sites.

The on-site interpretation of the KAVHA site is varied. Some elements, including the Norfolk Island
Museum and Research Centre, are well developed and present engaging, thoroughly researched objects,
displays and stories. By contrast, some of the signs within the KAVHA site are out-of-date or simply
absent. There is no current dedicated website presence for the KAVHA site, other than that created for the
development of this HMP (<http://www.kavha.gov.nf/>).

The KAVHA site deserves a comprehensive program of interpretation that is consistent and
commensurate with the values of the place itself. This interpretation is needed by both visitors to the site
and those using external resources, such as the internet or other published material. There are also
opportunities for better integration and coordination of current interpretation activities between the Norfolk
Island Museum, the Research Centre, tourism providers and the government. Further, there are
opportunities for strategic marketing and cross promotion with the other properties which form part of the
Australian Convict Sites.

With the exception of the Museum, stories presented through current interpretation tend to focus on the
Second (Penal) Settlement 1825-1855. It is desirable that interpretation
