Review of the 2012 Conservation Management Plan

The guidance provided by the Department of the Environment and Energy identifies a range of matters to be addressed in a review of the plan under section 341X of the EPBC Act.  These matters and summary responses are provided below.

Who would carry out the review and the procedures to be used
The review was carried out by the consultant for the project, Duncan Marshall.  The procedures used are outlined above.  In addition:
     * the 2012 conservation management plan was reviewed for currency and any issues;
     * work was undertaken to update sections such the history, description and condition;
     * the analysis of values was completely re-worked and a refined statement of significance developed;  and
     * the suite of policies and strategies was revised in the light of current information and circumstances.

In undertaking this review and update work, consultations were also held with key Library staff responsible for management of the place, in part to ascertain the effectiveness of the 2012 plan and any issues to be addressed in the update work.

An assessment of whether the plan addresses the matters prescribed in the regulations including the Commonwealth Heritage management principles
The 2012 plan addressed matters prescribed in the regulations including the Commonwealth Heritage management principles.

An assessment of the effectiveness of the plan in protecting and conserving the Commonwealth Heritage values
The plan has been effective in protecting the Commonwealth Heritage values of the Library through a period of some change to the building.  In particular, the condition has improved, there are no significant threats, and the values have generally been conserved.

Recommendations for the improved protection of values
The improved protection of heritage values is achieved through the revised and updated conservation management plan with:
     * an improved understanding of the heritage values of the Library (Chapter 4);  and
     * an improved suite of conservation policies and strategies (Section 6.3).

In both cases there have been refinements made although these are not dramatic changes.

Outline how new and changed information that may have come through monitoring, community input and further research will be incorporated into the revised management plan
As noted above, new and changed information and analysis has informed the update of the plan in sections such as the history, description, condition, analysis of values, statement of significance, and policies and strategies.

Details of any significant damage or threat to the heritage values.
No significant damage or threats to heritage values were identified.
