                                                                                                                                                                                                               1.      Existing uses that are incompatible with the heritage values of the place must be discontinued or phased out.
5.2    Future uses                                                                                                                                                                                            5.2.1        New uses are appropriate at Old Parliament House where these are consistent with the conservation of the place's heritage values. This may include modifying an existing use or reinstating a former use.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              5.2.2        New uses (including potential new tenancies) are proposed actions and must be assessed using the Action Proposal process described in the Heritage Management Plan.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              5.2.3        Old Parliament House management must locate new uses (including potential new tenancies) in areas identified in the Heritage Management Plan as having a low sensitivity to change and/or where zone objectives facilitate it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              5.2.4        Old Parliament House management should implement a five-year spatial plan as approved by the Actions Committee.
5.3    Assessing Compatible Use                                                                                                                                                                               5.3.1        The relative compatibility of existing and potential new uses (including tenancies) should be assessed, based on their likelihood to maximise the conservation and understanding of the heritage values. The following three questions should be addressed for each proposal:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 * How does the proposed use contribute to and enhance the capacity to conserve and interpret the heritage values of Old Parliament House?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 * How will the proposed use have an impact upon the heritage values of Old Parliament House?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 * How does the proposed use have an impact on the objectives for the effected zone?
                                                                                                                                                                                                              Uses should contribute, directly or indirectly, to the objective of interpreting the stories and heritage values of Old Parliament House.
           5.3.2        The relative compatibility of uses should be assessed using the following definitions:
              * Very highly compatible: historically appropriate uses that continue or echo pre-1988 uses and retain the significant fabric and spaces of Old Parliament House in their pre-1988 state.

USES
              * Highly compatible: appropriate uses that, while not necessarily continuing pre-1988 uses, allow significance to be recognised, and make use of unaltered 1988 spaces or spaces altered after 1988 and subsequently reconstructed to their 1988 configuration.
              * Moderately compatible: appropriate uses, or new uses that allow significance to be recognised, that require limited adaptation works.
              * Less compatible: uses that are not sympathetic to pre-1988 uses (such as the use of offices for storage), or that require the substantial alteration of fabric (such as the removal of walls between rooms).
              * Least compatible: uses that are actively unsympathetic to pre-1988 uses (such as the use of ministerial rooms as kitchens), or that require large-scale alteration of fabric (such as the removal of walls between two or more rooms, or between corridors and rooms).

   6.  Access, security, plant and services

  Old Parliament House management must facilitate reasonable public access to the place and the movable heritage with
