on the value of their heritage and the active participation
of Indigenous people in identification, assessment and management is integral to the effective protection of
Indigenous heritage values.

7. The management of National Heritage places should provide for regular monitoring, review and reporting on the
conservation of National Heritage values.2

The KAVHA site needs committed action and focus so that heritage values are conserved and transmitted
in accordance with the requirements of the World Heritage Convention (and its Operational Guidelines) to
enable the Australian Government to comply with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth), to meet the seven National Heritage management principles, and for the
Norfolk Island administration to meet its obligations to the place, its environment and the Norfolk Island
community.

Drawing from the preceding analysis of challenging issues, this section of the HMP presents the strategic
approach required to manage and conserve the KAVHA site for current and future generations. The strategic
principles are intended to guide decision-making, whereas the policies in Section 8 set out what will be done to
conserve and manage the KAVHA site. Within each of the following sections, a relevant citation is provided
from the Operational Guidelines to the World Heritage Convention, along with key principles that have emerged
from background research and community consultation and engagement.

7.2 Heritage Conservation

Protection and management of World Heritage properties should ensure that their Outstanding Universal
Value, including the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity at the time of inscription, are sustained or
enhanced over time.

The key principles are:

Management of the KAVHA site should be based on understanding and
conservation of identified heritage values.

The KAVHA site should be conserved in accordance with the Burra Charter of
Australia ICOMOS.

Conservation should focus on authenticity and integrity.

Adequate resources should be allocated to conserve heritage values.

The condition of heritage values should be monitored.

The KAVHA site is recognised as a place with attributes of Outstanding Universal Value which encompass
both natural and cultural attributes, evident in individual site elements, the totality of the landscape,
authentic and reconstructed historic fabric, plus a rich array of important uses, strong associations and
powerful meanings. The values are multiple, complex, interrelated and not always readily apparent. Some
values are universally held, whereas others relate to particular people or communities. All values—local,
national or international, whether reflected in individual tangible and intangible elements or in the totality of
the place—need to be identified; management decision-making should be framed by the guiding principle
that all of these values should be retained.

The KAVHA site has other values, such
