continue to conserve the lighthouse in accordance with Commonwealth and Victorian State heritage listing requirements.
For works requiring heritage approval, AMSA will obtain permission from any relevant state or federal authorities. Continuous and as needed conservation works will be undertaken as required and in-line with the requirements of the EPBC Act and Victorian State Heritage Act.
Implementation strategy:
         * Liaise with the relevant federal and state agencies when proposing work on the site.

         * Consult with Parks Victoria when proposing work on site.

         * Approval in writing must be granted for any proposals for development.

Policy 6 – The cultural significance of the lightstation will be the basis for deciding how to manage it.

The heritage values or cultural significance of the place must be conserved. This heritage management plan includes relevant background information to support this policy (see Section 3 History).
Implementation strategy:
         * Conserve the lighthouse to protect its heritage values (cultural significance).

         * When possible, strive to maintain the original fabric of the lighthouse.

         * Use the Burra Charter as the primary guide for treatment of fabric.

         * Engage appropriately qualified heritage consultants when making decisions regarding impact on heritage values.

         * Assess impacts on the heritage values of the place when considering proposed alterations or adaptations.

Policy 7 – Monitor, review and report the Commonwealth heritage values of the Lighthouse every five years or sooner if major changes to the lighthouse occur.

The Commonwealth heritage values of the lighthouse are to be monitored and reported on a regular basis. A Heritage Asset Condition Report is updated for Gabo Island Lighthouse every two years which records historical information, condition, and maintenance requirements for fabric within the lighthouse to ensure a gain and/or loss of heritage value is identified. For the official values to be changed, the Minister must request an assessment from the Australian Heritage Council (EPBC Act 341N and EPBC Regulations, Division 10.2A).

Implementation strategy:

       * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to regularly monitor the lighthouse for possible impacts on the identified Commonwealth heritage values.

       * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to review the current Commonwealth heritage values at least once every five years and assess any gain or loss of values. This review must be undertaken in the event of any major alterations to the lightstation.

       * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to report any changes to the Commonwealth heritage values of the lighthouse to the DCCEEW (Heritage Branch).

       * AMSA to assist with ministerial requests regarding assessment of official values.

       * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to update AMSA's heritage strategy  and this plan to reflect any changes identified.

       * AtoN Maintenance Contractor to review and update Heritage Asset Condition Report biennially.
