3.1.' Introduction

This section provides an overview of the KAVHA site. The location of the KAVHA site on Norfolk Island
and the characteristics of its natural landform and setting are described. The boundary of the KAVHA site
and the various management precincts are defined based on work in previous conservation management
documents. The items within each of the management precincts are listed.

A historical overview provides a summary of the historical evolution and settlement patterns within the
KAVHA site. The historical overview herein is based on a detailed and fully referenced unpublished history
that was prepared by Otto Cserhalmi Partners and Jean Rice Architect in 2002 and updated in 2007. An
outline is provided of the various features including the natural and cultural landscape, such as the hills
and lowlands, swamp, vale and valley, landing place, buildings and bridges, as well as the past and
continuing cultures and traditions.

3.2. Precincts

The boundary of the KAVHA site was identified in the 1980 Management Plan. The identification system
used since then divides the place into precincts expressed alphabetically as A-N. Within each area items
are numbered—for example, the gaol is G4. The precincts form distinctive management areas (see Figure
3.1) as follows:

A Government House Reserve

Lowlands

Cemetery Reserve

Quality Row
