Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area Heritage Management Plan under the
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth)

Dear Ms Kidman

Thank you for the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development's submission of
the Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) Heritage Management Plan. The Hon
Paul Fletcher MP, formerly Minister for Major Projects, Territories and Local Government,
provided the Plan to the Minister for the Environment and Energy on 23 April 2016.

In my capacity as the Minister's delegate under section 341S(6) of the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), Ihave reviewed the
Heritage Management Plan, taking into account Infrastructure's obligations under

section 341S of the EPBC Act. Ihave also consulted with the Australian Heritage Councilin
accordance with section 341S(7).| advise that the Heritage Management Plan addresses
the matters prescribed in the regulations and 5 not inconsistent with the EPBC Act.

The Australian Heritage Council provided feedback on the Heritage Management Plan. The
Council recommended that the Report on Condition of Values be updated to reflect values in
more detail. Council also recommended the Heritage Management Plan include identification
of the role of the Australian Convict Sites Steering Committee and Infrastructure and
Regional Development's responsibilities under the Australian Convict Sites Strategic
Management Framework. These recommendations do not affect the Heritage Management
Plan's consistency with the EPBC Act but should be incorporated at the earliest opportunity.

Consistent with section 3415(8) of the EPBC Act, the Department of Infrastructure and
Regional Development should now register the Heritage Management Plan as a legislative
Instrument inaccordance with the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 (Cth) and give notice of
the making of the plan on the internet and in the Gazette. Please note that under section
341X(1) the Heritage Management Plan will be due for review within five years.

If you have any questions or require further assistance please contact Therese McCarthy on
02 6274 2391 or therese.mccarthy@environment.gov.au

Yours sincerely
