carrying out any review.

  The reviewer must publish a notice inviting public comment and taking those comments into consideration in relation to the effectiveness of the plan in protecting the official listed values of the place, and whether it is consistent with Commonwealth Heritage management principles.

  The NFSA shall be responsible for monitoring, reporting and overseeing the review and acting on information where necessary to protect the official listed values of the building.

  7.9.4 Conservation Works

  The following details contains recommendations for conservation action arising from the Conservation Policy. The recommendations are divided into three broad categories.
 1. Work required to ensure safe access to the building and use of the building by the public and staff. This is of an urgent nature and should be programmed and implemented as soon as possible (within 12 months) to avoid deterioration of significant fabric or danger to staff and the public.
 2. Work required to upgrade the building to modern standards or as non-urgent maintenance work required to be executed in the near future (not exceeding 3 years).
 3. Work required to enhance the facilities. This is work that is desirable but not essential. One part (a) is work that will lift the image of the NFSA including promotion of the building and reinforcing the significance of the building. The other part (b) includes all other work. These works can be

    programmed for any time and should be undertaken if a major refurbishment is proposed.

  Urgent Works

  If works are urgent and urgent responses are required the work shall comply with this HMP, be in accordance with the EPBC Act and using conservation professionals to ensure official listed values are protected and the site and buildings are appropriately conserved.

  Main Building
  Urgent works just completed included render repairs to the courtyard and repair to damaged internal areas.

  Residence
  The external wall was underpinned and paving added around the building and drainage improved. There are no cracks in the external skin of the wall. However the internal walls have cracks which should be stabilized and repaired.

  No crack is of structural concern to the building. Ongoing maintenance of cracks is a reasonable approach unless substantial funds are available to stabilize the footings.

  Repair hail damaged terra cotta tiled roof.

  Upgrading Works

  Rising damp is an ongoing issue and ideally should be treated but in the short term (1-3 years) can be managed as it is at present.
