heritage impacts, including
impacts on the setting, views and vistas of the KAVHA site.

8.2.5 Cultural Plantings
The health of cultural plantings will be monitored.

Where trees pose a risk to public health and safety, or other heritage values, they will be removed,
in whole or part.

Safe work methods will be employed when pruning or felling trees to minimise the risk of accident or
injury.
A seed bank and/or plant cuttings system will be established and made available to provide

replacement stock for replanting; this may include seed collection from early varieties (whether
original to the site or reintroduced) or retention of the genetic material of the plant.

New tree plantings will be designed and located so as to not impact on views, potential or known
archaeological resources, buildings or structures.

The existing significant memorial trees will be maintained. No new planted memorial avenues or
individual memorial trees will be planted on the KAVHA site.

A policy will be developed covering the replacement or removal of existing significant trees and
memorial avenues when they become senescent.

Agricultural plantings and crops will be permitted within the KAVHA site in recognition that it is (in
part) a landscape with a history of grazing and agriculture, and to interpret the cultural landscapes
of the Colonial, Penal and Pitcairner settlements, particularly in Watermill Valley and its tributaries.
Any such plantings or crops will be based on historical and/or archaeological evidence, subject to
environmental and heritage impact and risk assessment, and considered having regard to the
appropriateness of species and the labour required for ongoing management, so that it is
sustainable.

Private landholders will be encouraged and supported to conserve and manage significant cultural
plantings and future cultural plantings in accordance with this policy.

8.2.6 Public Gardens

The Government House and Quality Row Gardens Conservation Management Plan will be
reviewed and updated to include plant lists for the kitchen and ornamental gardens within the
KAVHA site.

Residents of Commonwealth owned houses within the KAVHA site, particularly Government House
and Quality Row, will be required to retain the garden design and plantings in accordance with
relevant landscape garden plans. It will be a condition of residency/tenancy that gardens are not
changed and that access for ongoing garden management and maintenance is available.

The health and vigour of current garden plantings will be assessed. Gardens will be regularly
maintained and monitored to ensure high standards of presentation and visitor experience.
