including auditing the contractor's performance.

6.5 Proposals for change
Preventative maintenance works are carried out on the lighthouse to maintain its status as a working marine AtoN, and to assist in the site's conservation.
A list of scheduled preventative maintenance work is identified within the latest available site inspection report. The information provided below was taken from this report:

Maintenance description              Estimated maintenance date
Cape Leeuwin structure paint         2022
Cape Leeuwin reseal glazing          2022
Cape Leeuwin LED array replacement   2029

6.6 Potential pressures
A significant pressure that harnesses the potential to effect the Commonwealth heritage values of the place would be the obligation to remove or replace original fabric materials from the lightstation owing to unavoidable and irreversible deterioration.
In the case of Cape Leeuwin, the mercury float mechanism found within the lighthouse tower may create a hazardous environment in the event of a spill and the release of mercury vapours. WHS may require in the future to modify this mechanism by removing the mercury which would alter the Commonwealth heritage values identified in Criterion B (Rarity). At the time of preparing this management plan, no plans have been made to modify the mercury float mechanism.
In the event plans are made to modify or remove the mercury float, work will be conducted in line with the heritage considerations and requirements of the EPBC Act..
The increasing amount of tourism identified at Cape Leeuwin harnesses the potential to cause additional wear and tear to the precinct. Impacts of tourism will be monitored.
6.7 Process for decision-making
Processes for decision-making are required in the event of an incident that impacts the heritage values of the site. The following incidents are included due to their likelihood of occurrence at the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.

Incident                                                         Procedure
Major project/maintenance works proposed                             * Prepare Heritage Impact Statement on proposed modifications.
                                                                     * Submit scope of works and Heritage Impact Statement to the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and the Western Australian Heritage Council for review.

Damage to lighthouse's fabric (heritage significance)                 * AMSA or selected contractors assess extent of damage.
                                                                      * Seek heritage advice on restoration of heritage fabric impacted.
                                                                      * Identify possible loss of heritage value (at both state and Commonwealth level).
                                                                      * Seek the appropriate approvals for restoration of heritage fabric impacted.
                                                                      * Implement best practice management of restoration work in keeping with the original character of the place.
                                                                      * In the case of a loss of heritage value, prepare report for submission.
                                                                      * Update record-keeping of incident and make available to relevant personnel.

Damage to lighthouse's fabric (no heritage significance)              * AMSA or selected contractors to assess extent of damage.
                                                                      * Identify possible impact on heritage fabric in any work carried
