  Australian Government agencies that own or control places included in the Commonwealth Heritage List are legally required to develop a plan to conserve and protect those places. Where agencies do not have their plans endorsed, they must ask the Australian Government Minister
  for the Environment for advice if they propose taking any action that may have a significant impact on the Commonwealth Heritage place they own or control.

  The following sections outline the responsibilities of NFSA under the EPBC Act to conserve and protect the NFSA buildings and site.

  6.3   Commonwealth Heritage Management Principles

  Heritage management principles provide a guiding framework for excellence in managing heritage properties. They set the standard and the scope of the way places should be managed in order to best conserve and protect official listed values
  and heritage significance for the generations ahead.

  The principles should be used when preparing and implementing management plans and programs.

  The Commonwealth Heritage Management Principles as set out in Schedule 7A of the EPBC Act are:

    1. The objective in managing Commonwealth Heritage places is to identify, protect, conserve, present and transmit, to all generations, their Commonwealth Heritage values.
    2. The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should use the best available knowledge, skills and standards for those places, and include ongoing technical and community input
    to decisions and actions that may have a significant impact on Commonwealth Heritage values.

    3.     The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should respect all heritage values of the place and seek to integrate, where appropriate, any Commonwealth, state and territory and local government responsibilities for those places.
    4.     The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should ensure that their use and presentation is consistent with the conservation of their Commonwealth Heritage values.
    5.     The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should make timely and appropriate provision for community involvement, especially by people who:
      1. have a particular interest in, or associations with, the place, and

     b.     may be affected by the management of the place.
    6.     Indigenous people are the primary source of information on the value of their heritage and the active participation of Indigenous people in identification, assessment and management is integral to the effective protection of Indigenous heritage values.
    7.     The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should provide for regular monitoring, review and reporting on the conservation of Commonwealth
