of better sharing interpretation of the Parade.

           Refer to Strategy 11.3 regarding consultation with stakeholders about interpretation.

           48.2 The interpretive strategy will be periodically reviewed as part of the review of this management plan (see Policy 9).

Policy 49 Signage
       Appropriate, consistent and good quality directional, interpretive and information signage will be provided.

       Commentary:  See Policy 43 regarding new signage.

       Implementation Strategies

           49.1 Existing or proposed signage will be reviewed to ensure consistency with this policy and also in the light of the interpretive strategy (Strategy 48.1).

    Unforeseen Discoveries

Policy 50 Unforeseen discoveries or disturbance of heritage components
       If the unforeseen discovery of new evidence or the unforeseen disturbance of heritage fabric or values requires major management or conservation decisions not envisaged by this heritage management plan, the plan will be reviewed and revised (see Policy 9).

       If management action is required before the management plan can be revised, a heritage impact statement will be prepared that:
            * assesses the likely impact of the proposed management action on the existing assessed significance of the place;
            * assesses the impact on any additional significance revealed by the new discovery;
            * considers feasible and prudent alternatives;  and
            * if there are no such alternatives, then considers ways to minimise the impact.

       If action is required before a heritage impact statement can be developed, the NCA will seek relevant expert heritage advice before taking urgent action.

       Urgent management actions shall not diminish the significance of the place unless there is no feasible and prudent alternative.

       Commentary

       Unforeseen discoveries may be related to location of new documentary or physical evidence about the place or specific heritage values that are not known at the time of this report, and that might impact on the management and conservation of the place.  Discovery of new heritage values, or the discovery of evidence casting doubt on existing assessed significance, would be examples.

       Discovery of potential threats to heritage values may also not be adequately canvassed in the existing policies.  Potential threats might include the need to upgrade services or other operational infrastructure to meet current standards, the discovery of hazardous substances that require removal, or the physical deterioration of fabric.

       Unforeseen disturbance might be related to accidental damage to fabric, or disastrous events such as fire or flood.

       Such actions may be referable matters under the EPBC Act.

    Keeping Records

Policy 51 Records of intervention and maintenance
       The NCA will maintain records related to any substantial intervention or change in the place, including records about maintenance.

       Commentary:  Refer to the NCA's Heritage Strategy and heritage register regarding provisions about records.

       Implementation strategies

           51.1 The NCA will retain records relating to actions taken in accordance with Policy 8 –
