its maintenance.
    * The Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) lease for Lot 3 for aid to navigation purposes initially commenced in 1994 and runs for 50 years.

7.6.1. Private lease
Conditions of the lease ensure that the lessee must assist with conserving and maintaining the lightstation to the reason­able standard required by a heritage management plan. The lessee must give the GBRMPA prior notice before commencing any works and GBRMPA must assess potential impacts. The lessee is currently using the former lightkeepers' cottages for staff accommodation, and the associated buildings are used for storage.

7.6.2. AMSA lease
AMSA leases Lot 1 (58 m2) and small area (i.e. Lease A) of Lot 2 (Figure 11 — The areas leased by AMSA). Lot 1 contains the lighthouse and AMSA personnel and contractors need to cross the surrounding area in order to access this lighthouse. Easements over the surrounding lease permit this.

7.6.3. MSQ lease
Maritime Safety Queensland leases Lot 3 which is a 1.662 ha area.  This is for the purpose of future aids to navigation and contains an option for the installation of a helipad in a position approved by the GBRMPA.

8. Heritage management policies

The following conservation policies are provided to guide the management of the Commonwealth heritage values for the Dent Island Lightstation, in a manner con­sistent with the Commonwealth Heritage management principles.

In this chapter the words in italics have the meanings defined in the Burra Charter — definitions of these terms are reproduced in Appendix 10.2. The policies aim to protect and conserve the heritage values. To assist this objective, where nec­essary, the policies are supported by implementation strategies. A commentary is also provided to explain the context of each policy.

8.1. Principles

8.1.1. Issue 1: Basis for decisions

Policy 1: The cultural significance of the lightstation will be the basis for deciding how to manage it

Commentary
The matters to be conserved are the Commonwealth heritage values of the place. Although the heritage values of the place (its cultural significance) may be expressed in intangible terms, these values can usually be related to, or can be seen to be represented by, the fabric of a place. Actions to conserve the fabric will therefore largely conserve the significance of the place.

Implementation strategy
    * Conserve the lightstation to protect and interpret its historical significance.
    * Ensure the continuation of past residential and current uses that maintain the original fabric of the site.
    * Use the Burra Charter as the primary guide for the treatment of fabric (The Burra Charter is the primary reference for managing the heritage values of historic places).

8.1.2. Issue 2: The lightstation setting

Policy 2: Protect the visual setting of the lightstation by
