  The original plaque unveiled by Governor Macquarie on the opening of the first tower in 1818, is of immense significance. The glass is showing some mould growth on the inside.

  The Harbour Trust maintains the grounds of the lightstation which is in generally good condition. The sandstone retaining wall, the only visible element on the site from the original Greenway Lightstation era, is in a relatively fragile condition.

  AMSA (who are responsible for the care and management of the lighthouse only) has recently repainted the exterior of the lighthouse, removed the paint from the interiors of the lighthouse and undertaken minor restoration works. The lighthouse overall is in good condition.

  The two residences are also in good condition and well maintained by their lessees. The Head Keepers Quarters have been added to over time and is currently (May 2018) undergoing restoration work including painting the exteriors of the building. The Assistant Keepers' Quarters has been converted from two attached residences into a single residence and some original features have been removed, however it remains in good condition.

  The townhouse group was altered and refurbished by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust in 2013 and appears to be in good condition.

The Harbour Trust's asset management system will provide a description of the physical condition of the site. Detailed inventory sheets for each part of the site, their association and uses, are incorporated in the 2018 CMP.

5.4. Conservation Policies

The following policies have been prepared as required by Division 10.03D and Schedules 7A and 7B of the EPBC Regulations 2000.

The policies seek to protect and conserve the statutory Commonwealth heritage values of Macquarie Lightstation, as identified in the previous sections of this plan.

The policies also aim to provide management guidance and these are reflected in the proposed Outcomes in this plan. The policies have been derived from the 2018 Conservation Management Plan for Macquarie Lightstation. The table presents policies applicable to the Lightstation Precinct, and more specific policies to protect the values of each component of the place. Excerpts from the Commonwealth Heritage Values have been included throughout the table to emphasise the link between the values and the policies.

Note, in the event of any inconsistency between the Conservation Policies, and Outcomes described in this management plan, the Outcomes prevail.
