and Heritage states the objective as:

  Enhance the character of Canberra and the Territory as the National Capital by identifying, protecting, conserving and presenting natural, Indigenous and historic heritage places.

  And the Principles as:

    1. The National Capital Authority will consider heritage places in Designated Areas as Commonwealth Areas for the purposes of protecting the environment in the manner currently afforded under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and any subsequent legislation.

    2.     Within Designated Areas, the National Capital Authority may require Heritage (or Conservation) Management Plans to accompany development applications for heritage places which should be prepared to meet requirements equivalent to those in the EPBC Act. The National Capital Authority may require Heritage Impact Statements to accompany development applications for a heritage place.
    3.     Development should be consistent with the requirements of any relevant Heritage (or Conservation) Management Plan for that particular place.
    4.     The management of heritage places should ensure that their use and presentation is consistent with their heritage values. Heritage places will be presented and interpreted to increase public awareness, understanding and enjoyment of the natural and cultural heritage of the National Capital and its conservation, subject to any reasonable requirements for privacy or confidentiality.
    5.     The National Capital Authority will adopt the Australian Natural Heritage Charter and the Burra Charter as key guiding documents respectively for natural and cultural heritage places within Designated Areas.

  Works approvals will be required for all works on site that will affect landscape, setting and external fabric of the buildings. This includes even minor works and maintenance.

  As indicated in the principles above, a Conservation Management Plan can assist the process of approvals provided work is consistent with the CMP and a statement of heritage impact is included with Works Approval submission.

  NCA have no jurisdiction over the interior of the buildings.

  The issue of potential greatest impact is parking for staff and visitors. There needs to be a flexible approach to ensure the significance of the setting is not compromised. This is discussed further under Policy 2.4 in Section 7.

  5.5     National Trust of Australia (ACT) (NTACT)

  The NTACT has no statutory authority, but is an authoritative interest group whose views are generally held in high regard by the local authorities, other stakeholders and key interest groups.

  The NFSA site has been classified by the NTACT. The NTACT is likely to take an interest in the future use, preservation and conservation of the buildings and should be consulted when changes are proposed.
