8.9.5 Funding

As a majority landowner and the relevant State Party to the World Heritage Convention, the
Australian Government has primary responsibility for funding the care, control and management of
the KAVHA site.

Capital and operational funding requirements for the KAVHA site will be determined based on
priorities for conservation, management and interpretation.

Operational and capital funding priorities will be determined annually by the Australian Government
in consultation with the KAVHA Manager, KAVHA Advisory Committee, and landholder and wider
community input, consistent with this HMP.

Funding from additional resource streams will be actively pursued, including:
— commercial income from appropriate new site uses;
— contributions from tourism (determined consultatively with the Norfolk Island tourism industry);
- access to additional grant funding;
— philanthropy; and
— sponsorship.
Priority programs and projects at the KAVHA site will be prioritised according to:
— requirements for safe working conditions and visitor safety;

— conservation of World Heritage, National Heritage, Commonwealth Heritage and Norfolk Island
values;

— cyclical maintenance needs;

— interpretation of World Heritage, National Heritage and Norfolk Island values;
— visitor facilities; and

— commercial opportunities.

Opportunities will be pursued to support landholders with applications for funding assistance for
private conservation projects.

8.9.6 Records and Inventories

Existing archival records related to the KAVHA site will be retained, catalogued and conserved. As
resources allow, existing hardcopy archival records will be transferred to electronic media.

any building, ruin, work, site or landscape area.

management and research purposes.
