use that is compatible with the historical fabric, infrastructure and general environment.

   •       Record and document maintenance works, and changes to the fabric, in the Montague Island fabric register (See Section 4 Fabric).

 The organisational planning cycle and associated budgeting process is used to confirm requirements, allocate funding, and manage delivery of maintenance activities. Detailed planning for the aids to navigation network is managed through our internal planning processes and budgeting.

1.3             Methodology

 The methods to prepare this plan are consistent with the recommendations of The Burra Charter. The plan addresses:

   •       The history of the site based on information sourced from archival research, expert knowledge and documentary resources.

   •       The description of the site based on information sourced from site inspection reports and fabric registers.

   •       The Commonwealth heritage criterions satisfied by Montague Island as set out by the EPBC Act 1999 and EPBC Regulations (2000).

 The EPBC Regulations (2000) Schedule 7A
 (h) (i-xiii) was used to develop the necessary  policies for management of the Montague Island Lighthouse, and the Department of the Environment and Energy advised on best practice management approaches.

 The draft management plan was advertised in accordance with the EPBC Act 1999 and EPBC Regulations (2000). A response was received proposing the placement of a concessionaire on the Island. This request was passed onto NSW NPWS and was not incorporated into the final document.

 The Wagonga Local Aboriginal Land Council (WLALC) was consulted with in April 2020, and information on the Island's history, and
 aboriginal associations were incorporated into the management plan. The Council's request to erect a symbol on the island was also incorporated in this management plan and will be included within the Fabric Register section in future versions of this plan.

 Consultations with the WLALC are still currently ongoing and we anticipate further feedback. This feedback will be included in an amended version of the plan.

 The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service was consulted with in March 2020 and provided AMSA with feedback on the plan as a whole. Their edits relating to the history of the Island, the site's current uses, and policies on management were incorporated into the final document.

 A developed draft was submitted to the Minister through the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment where advice was sought from the Australian Heritage Council. On 26 August 2020,  the Australian Heritage Council advised that the  plan was not inconsistent with the Commonwealth Heritage Management Principles, and gave approval..
