Policy 31                                                                    Given that the Macquarie Lightstation is a public amenity, it is not unreasonable to expect requests for occasional use of the grounds of the site for one-off special events and/or functions. Such a use is considered appropriate only on short term basis and as long as disruption to the existing, unregulated public access of the place is temporary and minimal and there is no impact on the heritage values of the place.                                                                         1. The use of the open grounds around the Lighthouse for occasional, short term one-off events and functions is appropriate.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. The Greenway stone retaining wall should be protected prior to the use of the place for any event or function within the open grounds around the Lighthouse.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3. Events held in the open grounds around the Lighthouse should involve as minimal infrastructure as necessary and all traces of the event should be removed as quickly as possible, leaving the place and the fabric without damage.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          4. Events that may be considered visually intrusive or disruptive to public access to the place may be acceptable if they occur only infrequently and for short periods of time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          5. Events that involve the introduction of semi-permanent structures such as marquees, stalls, lighting, stages and associated facilities may be acceptable if they occur only infrequently and for short periods of time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         6. All leases and hiring agreements should include provisions that the lessee or hirer is responsible for any damage or adverse impacts on the fabric of the place. Adherence to lease and other contract conditions should be regularly monitored by the Harbour Trust and corrective actions taken if required.
Policy 32                                                                    When organising or allowing activities within the place, components of the place and its setting, care needs to be taken not to obscure or confuse its significance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Uses and activities within the place, components of the place and within its setting, which lessen, obscure or confuse its historical associations and meanings, should be discouraged.
Adaptation of the Fabric Identified to be Conserved
Policy 33                                                                    Most extensive intervention at a place will occur during adaptation work. Depending on significance, different types of alteration may be appropriate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       1. Where appropriate, adaptation works introduced pursuant to this Management Plan and conservation policies will be identified as new work by introduced interpretive devices or by method and/or style of construction.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. As the Head Keeper's Quarters, Assistant Keeper's Quarters and townhouses are used as private residences, there is no need to facilitate public access into these buildings.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3. Changing fabric identified to be conserved to facilitate public access is not generally appropriate. The addition of small items such as grab rails to improve safety is appropriate, so long as the works
