creating some inconsistency and potential for confusion. In
this HMP:

° 'Polynesian Settlement' refers to the Polynesian settlement, from c1150 to c1450 AD;
. 'First (Colonial) Settlement' refers to the period between 1788 and 1814;

. 'Second (Penal) Settlement' refers to the period between 1825 and 1855; and

° 'Third (Pitcairn) Settlement' refers to the period from 1856 to the present.

The Third (Pitcairn) Settlement commenced with the arrival of Pitcairners in 1856, but it also includes
the full period since, during which people from many other cultural backgrounds have come to live on
Norfolk Island. While the settlement naming relates to the first arrivals in each period, the HMP
adopts an inclusive approach to all sections of the Norfolk Island community.

visitor experience, as well as in the daily life of the community on Norfolk Island, have been critical
considerations. Careful and reflective listening to members of the local community during community
consultations for this project has been a key input which has helped to frame the project team's thinking and
findings.

Generally, while the physical condition and maintenance of the KAVHA site is excellent, there are
challenges. One key challenge is how the place may be most effectively managed and conserved.
Consideration has also been given to future resourcing issues, capacity and skills. Authentic presentation
and visitor experience are other considerations, alongside the contemporary community's and private
landholders' views and aspirations for the site.

This HMP has been prepared based on an integrated values assessment and management methodology.
This has involved identifying and understanding both tangible and intangible cultural assets, not only the
fabric of the KAVHA site itself but also related places, people, customs and events that have heritage
value and tourism potential. The HMP process has been inclusive and consultative, consistent with the
