In the event of unforeseen discoveries of structures, relics or occupational remains during works being carried out for other purposes, work should cease until appropriate consultation has been conducted and advice is obtained.

Policy 22                                                                    While any significant fabric is in existence it should be maintained, which means continuous protective care. Reconstructed fabric can also be of interpretive value and therefore should be included within any maintenance strategy (Asset Management Plan) for the place.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 1. The following fabric should be maintained with continuous protective care:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   1. all significant fabric (see limited exceptions)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   2. all fabric recorded in this report as a previous reconstruction.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   3. all fabric reconstructed (in the future) in accordance with these policies.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. Periodic maintenance of the original fabric at the place, including the monitoring of the condition of individual elements, should not result in any loss of significant fabric or lessen the integrity of an element.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3. Maintenance also applies to the original and early finishes applied to the structure of the place (e.g. external walls).
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          4. In the case where significant finishes have deteriorated due to weathering or use (and resulting in damage to the substrata or surrounding significant fabric), their replacement should only be undertaken with appropriate materials and details. These include:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          5. For metal roofs, renew in galvanised steel (not zincalume);
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   1. for gutters, renew like with like, in material, profile and finish (this is currently either painted galvanised steel or copper);
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   2. for paint to joinery, use oil based enamel paint on fabric ranked as being of Exceptional, High and Moderate significance;
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   3. for paint to masonry and external plasters, renew existing like with like, either limewash or acrylic. Acrylic may be replaced in time with limewash, where limewash was the original finish.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         6. The general requirement for the maintenance of a significant place is to comply with the Minimum Standards of Maintenance (Heritage Information Series, NSW Heritage Office, 1999).
Changing Fabric Identified to be Conserved
Policy 23                                                                    The higher the significance of the individual components of the place, the greater the level of care and consideration is required in making any decision or action which may affect it. The overall objective for any change to the fabric of the Macquarie Lightstation is to ensure that changes at the place, whether temporary or permanent, will reinforce and not reduce, the identified significance.                                                                                                1. The authenticity and integrity of the place should be conserved by adopting a cautious approach to any proposed change, "as much as necessary but as little as possible" (Article 3: Burra Charter [adopted 31 October 2013]).
