or place, retains its important features, including landscape elements, vegetation, associated movable objects etc, but these are in need of conservation action and maintenance. A building, or place, is structurally sound, but there is evidence of inadequate maintenance and it is in need of repair. For example, internally, walls, floors or joinery are in need of conservation and minor repair such as painting, etc.

Condition criteria  Definition
Poor                A site, or place, demonstrates damage to, or loss of, significant fabric: there are signs of dilapidation, damage from water penetration, rot, instability or structural failure of buildings, or erosion. Damage/loss might also include the loss of a roof, fire damage, wall collapse or subsidence, major rising or falling damp, or major disturbance to a site.

Integrity criteria  Definition
High                The attributes, or features that contribute to the value of the place, are very largely intact and not compromised by significant removals, modification or additions.
Medium              There has been some loss of important elements, but the site, or place, still retains sufficient original or historically associated fabric for its values to be understood and interpreted. Intrusions are not substantial.
Low                 A site, or place, has had important features (such as structures, machinery, archaeological deposits etc) removed, or new structures/elements cover the site or place.
                    For example, major elements that would have contributed substantially to a building's heritage values have been removed or extensively altered.
                    The original cladding of walls or roof may have been replaced with newer materials or removed entirely; interiors may have been removed, destroyed or re-arranged with the insertion of a new interior.
                     Or the values of the site, or place, may not embody the heritage values or relate directly to fabric. For example, the place may be one that is valued for its association with an historic event. A judgement must be made about the impact changes have had in regard to diminishing the ability to understand the heritage values and associations with the place.

CONTEMPORARY ASSOCIATIONS CRITERIA  Definition
Fostered                            The contemporary association has been encouraged by the organisation responsible for the place. This may be through active engagement programs. The public demonstrate connection through actions such as visitation, donation, and engagement.
Stable                              The contemporary association remains stable.
Impeded                             The contemporary association is diminishing. This may be due to reduced management of the association by the organisation responsible for the place. The public may also demonstrate reduced interest due to population and demographic changes.

CONTEMPORARY ASSOCIATIONS INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP CRITERIA  Definition
Healthy                                                 The contemporary associations have been maintained and fostered.
Not Healthy
