vision and key objectives for this HMP. The vision, principles and
goals will help direct management activities and efforts across the KAVHA site to conserve heritage
values and promote enjoyment and appreciation by current and future generations.

The vision and goals for the KAVHA site have been informed by the project brief, statutory requirements,
the governance context of Norfolk Island, the range of heritage values attributed to the site, the current
state of conservation, and the community's views and aspirations. Building on the substantive work that
has been achieved at the KAVHA site, while also responsive to values and views of today, the vision is
future-oriented. It has been prepared to help orient and cohere efforts around realising the potential of the
KAVHA site over the longer term.

2.2 Vision

The vision statement for the KAVHA site is an aspirational statement which outlines what should ideally be
achieved through focused management and conservation.

The Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area is a place of outstanding heritage value to the
people of Norfolk Island, the Australian community and internationally.

The rich and interwoven natural and cultural landscape of the KAVHA site will be
conserved, managed, protected and presented with authenticity as a vibrant place through
effective governance, good management, improved support, best practice techniques/tools
and enduring community partnerships.
