Preamble

The Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area is a place of outstanding heritage value
to the people of Norfolk Island, the Australian community, and internationally.

The Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area (KAVHA), on Norfolk Island, is recognised for its picturesque
character, historic associations, outstanding Georgian buildings and townscape, and evocative ruins. The site
contributes to the life, identity and culture of the Norfolk Island community and the wider Australian community.
The KAVHA site was previously occupied by the seafaring Polynesians, then as a British convict settlement
from 1788 until 1814. A subsequent phase of convict settlement occurred between 1825 and 1855. In 1856 the
KAVHA site was settled by the Pitcairn Island descendants of the Bounty mutineers and Tahitians.

The KAVHA site was listed by the National Trust (NSW) and included on the Register of the National
Estate in the early 1980s, listed on the Norfolk Island Heritage Register in 2003, Australia's National
Heritage List in 2007 and included as one of the eleven places that comprise the Australian Convict Sites
property, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2010. At the time, the World Heritage
Committee requested that efforts be made to strengthen and develop consultation with the private
landholders and other stakeholders for both the KAVHA site and the Port Arthur Historic Site, and to foster
a shared approach to conservation and management.

The KAVHA site includes Commonwealth crown land, freehold land owned by the Norfolk Island
administration, and privately managed freehold and leasehold lands. With the passing of the Norfolk Island
Legislation Amendment Act 2015 (Cwith) the Australian Government has assumed greater responsibility for
Norfolk Island and interim arrangements are in place pending election of a regional council. This Heritage
Management Plan (HMP) reflects that governance arrangements for Norfolk Island are changing.

The HMP complies with the requirements of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act
