Commonwealth heritage values of the Gabo Island Lighthouse,
       * manage use of the lighthouse,
       * use best practice standards, including ongoing technical and community input, and apply best available knowledge and expertise when considering actions likely to have a substantial impact on Commonwealth heritage values.

In undertaking these objectives, this plan aims to:
       * provide for the protection and conservation of the heritage values of the place while minimising any impacts on the environment by applying the relevant environmental management requirements in a manner consistent with Commonwealth heritage management principles.
       * take into account the significance of the region as a cultural landscape occupied by Aboriginal people over many thousands of years.
       * recognise that the site has been occupied by lease holders since the early 20th century.
       * encourage site use that is compatible with the historical fabric, infrastructure and general environment.
       * record and document maintenance works, and changes to the fabric in the Gabo Island Lighthouse fabric register.

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 AtoN network is managed through our internal planning processes.

1.3 Methodology
The methodology used in the preparation of this plan is consistent with the recommendations of The Burra Charter and with the requirements of Chapter 5, Part 15 Division 1A of the EPBC Act. In particular, the plan:
       * details the history of the site based on information sourced from archival research, expert knowledge, and documentary resources.
       * provides a description of the site based on information sourced from site inspection reports and fabric registers.
       * details the Commonwealth heritage criteria satisfied by Gabo Island Lighthouse as set out by schedule 7A of the EPBC Regulations.

The criterion set out at Schedule 7A (h) (i-xiii) informed the development of the required policies for the management of the Gabo Island Lighthouse, in conjunction with input from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) on best practice management.
Consultation
AMSA undertook consultation with Parks Victoria in May 2021. Parks Victoria provided site management information which was incorporated within the plan.
In preparation of the plan, AMSA initiated contact with the Nindi-Ngujarn Ngarigo Monero Aboriginal Corporation, and Bidwell-Maap Nations Aboriginal Corporation under direction from the Department of Premier & Cabinet VIC (Heritage Services, First Peoples - State Relations Group). As of yet, no responses have been received and future versions of the plan will include an update on this consultation progress.
The draft management plan was advertised in accordance with the EPBC
