be understood by as wide an audience as is possible. The NFSA manages physical security across through a range of methods which are in line with the NFSA Security Policy and Framework.

  During general opening hours the areas available for general access are identified and controlled. After hours use is restricted and areas of use tightly controlled and monitored.

  Policy 6.9
  Sensitive material to be identified and access to it controlled by NFSA's Collection Management Policy or other policies as appropriate.

  This will vary depending on the type of material and classification within the NFSA Collection.

  Policy 6.10

  Key stakeholders are Australian Heritage Council, Australian Institute of Architects, and the National Trust of Australia (ACT) as well as the Canberra community in general. NFSA to manage consultation and feedback on proposal as per EPBC Act requirements.

  Policy 6.11
  Management of sensitive information to be implemented in ways that are not inconsistent with the EPBC Act.

  NFSA provides a highly confidential role in parts of its operations. Therefore security controls are in place for the management of access and storage of confidential and sensitive documentation relating to the NFSA's operations. These controls should apply to sensitive archival information relating to the history of the NFSA.

  Sensitive historic documents (such as photos, plans and details) should be held by NFSA.

  This will also apply to restricting public access and possibly staff access to parts of the area occupied by NFSA. It may also apply to any tenanted space within the building depending on NFSA and tenant requirements. This will restrict access for security and control and not be discriminatory. This will also be reflected in any interpretative material that will be made available to the public, and possibly staff.

In the event of any unforeseen discoveries (artefacts) or disturbance of heritage related items within the site during any excavation, works must be stop immediately until further instruction and notification must be sent to the relevant organisation. The strategy should be to seek appropriate heritage advice and apply best practice in the event of unforeseen discoveries or disturbance. Conservation advice may be sought from heritage specialist with an appropriate experience regarding the significance and the appropriate course of action.
