consistent with the visual qualities of their setting.

Subject to planning approval, small-scale residential, agricultural or tourist facilities may be built
within area E and limited parts of areas M and N, provided that they are designed and sited to have
no impact on significant views and vistas from the KAVHA site or from key viewing points.

New buildings and works will be detailed with care and design excellence, use modern materials
and techniques to distinguish new from old, be comparable to the old in quality, use the existing
buildings and planning as a starting point for design, and address the existing built form in scale,
massing, materials, colour and texture without mimicry or replication.

Major new bridges, roads, slipways, piers or other major engineering structures will not be
constructed within the KAVHA site. New culverts may be constructed provided that they do not
impact on archaeological remains or other significant features.

Any proposed new building that is outside the KAVHA site boundary, but which could impact on the
heritage values of the KAVHA site (via works, view lines, runoff or any other matter), will be
assessed for heritage impact as part of the development approval process.

8.6.4 Alterations, Additions and New Work to Significant Buildings and Structures

Alterations and additions will generally be located within existing building envelopes. External additions
may be considered provided they have historical precedent, result in minimal or no heritage impact, are
not visually prominent, are distinguishable from original features, and are reversible.

The design of new elements in existing buildings and structures will be based on an understanding
of and respect for the existing construction, and will reflect the original design concept and spatial
arrangements.

New work to a significant building or structure will be used as an opportunity to enhance or recover
heritage value.

The spatial qualities of existing buildings and structures will be conserved by retaining existing
configurations including large spaces, avoiding additions in halls and stairwells, utilising existing
windows and doors, and using transparent materials, where necessary.

Where a proposed new use requires major alteration to significant fabric, preference will be given to
changing the use rather than the fabric; where the new use involves the reintroduction of a
significant traditional use, consideration of the heritage values to be impacted by changing either
the fabric or the use will be carefully analysed to seek the best solution.

8.6.5 Infrastructure and Services

Infrastructure, facilities and services will support the use and enjoyment of the KAVHA site without
damaging the heritage values.

Existing roads, bridges and access routes will be conserved and may continue to be used. Weight
limits or other measures may be used to protect significant bridges and culverts where necessary.
