Policy 3 – Monitor possible impacts to the site resulting from tourism and control appropriate access to the lighthouse for contractors and visitors.
Gabo Island Lighthouse attracts a number of visitors each year, and its location and layout allows relatively easy public access. Although access inside the lighthouse is restricted to authorised personnel, such as contractors and AMSA employees, official tour groups also oversee admittance of tourists from sunrise to sunset. AMSA personnel and contractors require easy access inside the lighthouse precinct and tower for periodical site visits to carry out inspections and routine maintenance.
Implementation strategy:
         * AtoN Maintenance contractor to ensure control on access to all buildings within AMSA's lease area is maintained by periodically inspecting restricted access areas inside the lighthouse tower during maintenance visits every 12 months.

         * AtoN Maintenance contractor to inspect lighthouse for signs of wear and tear attributed to visitor intake. during yearly maintenance visit, and note changes in Heritage Asset Condition Report.

         * The maintenance of the light holds priority over official tours conducted inside the lighthouse. Some delays in the tour guide service may be required during inspections and routine maintenance.
         * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to ensure access to the lighthouse complies with workplace health and safety measures.

         * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to ensure general admittance inside the lighthouse is managed and monitored by Parks Victoria.

         * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to ensure contractors are made aware of the heritage values of the lighthouse.

         * AMSA Asset Management and Preparedness to ensure access to site is available for Traditional Custodians to maintain cultural traditions.

Interpretation
Policy 4 – Accurate and relevant interpretation of the history and significance of the place should be made available to site users/visitors and for offsite external research.

         * Information will be presented primarily as online resources accessible to relevant personnel and the general public. On-site interpretative signage will be installed where possible.

         * Historical information and materials will be made available to official tourist organisations to assist with interpretation of the site.
