must conserve the heritage values of the place in accordance with the EPBC Act and the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988. Old Parliament House management recognise and adopt the official heritage values and statements of significance as a basis for management of the place through applying the Burra Charter, employing competent heritage managers and advisers, undertaking appropriate research and assessment prior to making decisions which may impact upon heritage values and seeking funds to manage the place based upon the goal of a nil decline in the condition of heritage values.

CONSERVATION APPROACH
1.1 Principal                                                 1.1.1        The heritage values of Old Parliament House must be conserved and managed in accordance with the Heritage Management Plan and the Burra Charter.
    management documents                                      1.1.2        Old Parliament House management must review and update the Heritage Management Plan every five years, or as necessary, and annually report on its implementation as specified in the EPBC Regulations 5A (10.01C) and 7A (10.01E).
    1.2 Conservation processes                                1.2.1 Conservation, maintenance, preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation works (as defined by the Burra Charter) must be carried out in accordance with the Burra Charter. The respective need for conservation, preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation must be determined by reference to Old Parliament House's heritage values and their sensitivity to change.
    1.3 Specific elements of the conservation processes       1.3.1        Conserve, protect and maintain all heritage fabric (attributes of the values) of the building pertaining to the functions and occupation of Parliament including:
                                                                 * the existing external and internal fabric, spaces, objects and servicing
                                                                 * the Inter-war Stripped Classical architectural style, symmetrical style, form, massing and details of the building in its open vista setting
                                                                 * all rooms of design, architectural and functional interest and their juxtapositions.
    1.4 Retention of fabric in situ                           1.4.1        Heritage building fabric (pre-1988) must be retained in situ commensurate with its heritage values and sensitivity to change, unless precluded by legislative requirements, health and safety considerations, threat of vandalism or theft, and/or severely deteriorated condition.
                                                              1.4.2        Any proposal to remove fabric to protect it from threats of deterioration, theft or vandalism will be an action which must be assessed.
                                                              1.4.3        A representative sample of in situ fabric must be retained where feasible.
                                                              1.4.4        Traditional techniques and materials for the conservation of fabric of heritage value must be preferred, except where modern techniques and materials offer substantial conservation benefits (Burra Charter, Article 4).
1.5 Removing                                                  1.5.1        Where fabric of heritage value is removed as a result of an action, which has been assessed following the procedures contained in the Heritage Management Plan, this must be preceded by, and carried out with, appropriate documentation and monitoring.
    heritage fabric                                           1.5.2        All removed fabric must be
