the significance should be considered before any change occurs (Article 27)

>        Existing significant fabric should be recorded before disturbance occurs. Disturbance of significant fabric may occur in order to provide evidence needed for the making of decisions on the conservation of the place (Article 28)
>        The decision-making procedure and individuals responsible for policy should be identified (Article 29)
>        Appropriate direction and supervision should be maintained through all phases of the work and implemented by people with appropriate
    knowledge and skills (Article 30)
>        A log of new evidence and additional decisions should be kept (Article 31)
>        Copies of all reports and records relating to the significance and conservation of the place should be placed in a permanent archive and be made publicly available (Article 32)
>        Significant items from the site should be recorded, catalogued and protected (Article 33)
>        Adequate resources be provided for conservation work (Article 34).

  5.8     Arising from the Statement of Significance

  The general requirements are:
>        Elements of significance must be retained, conserved and maintained in accordance with the Burra Charter. Minor adaptation may be considered
    provided a careful assessment of impact on official listed values, significant fabric is conserved and careful recording occurs.
>        Elements of little significance should be conserved and maintained as part of the place.
>        Elements identified as intrusive should be removed if and
    when practicable to reduce the adverse impact on the
    overall significance of the place or to conserve elements of greater significance.

  The NFSA and its setting should be retained. The significance and official listed values of the place can be maintained by ongoing maintenance.

  There is a need to ensure adequate protection of the items of higher significance and official listed value by means of appropriate maintenance and ongoing protective care.

  Significant fabric should be retained as far as possible but upgrading is possible within the constraints set out in the Heritage Management Plan.

  Interpretation of the site should be developed for the benefit of all visitors.

  5.9     Building Controls

  Compliance with statutory regulations such as the National Construction Code Volume 1 Building Code of Australia (and as a consequence Australian Standards, fire safety and access for people with disabilities) is required.

  The significance of the buildings will mean a carefully considered approach is required and performance-based solutions may be considered so that the significance is not compromised.

  This may require negotiation with all relevant authorities to reach satisfactory resolution where differences occur. The solutions should retain the significance of the buildings and setting unless there is no other feasible and prudent alternative.

  5.10      Access to the Site & Building, and the DDA

  Public access has always been provided to the building
