impact these values. At the time this plan was written, no plans have been made for future works at Eddystone Point Lighthouse. In the event major works at the lighthouse are to be carried out, AMSA will seek to minimise impacts to the surrounding area by:
       * Consulting with local Indigenous community to ensure work does not infringe on areas of significance, and is not carried out during periods of ceremony or significant days,
       * Utilising specific access tracks to ensure no damage to surrounding vegetation,
       * Ensuring project footprint is limited to the AMSA lease. In any instance that work is required outside of this footprint, approvals will be sought from the appropriate stakeholders.

  6.2  Framework: sensitivity to change
Owing to the site's desired intactness and aesthetic qualities, Eddystone Point Lighthouse is of high significance. Therefore, work actioned by AMSA on the Lighthouse's fabric harnesses the potential to reduce or eradicate the significance of the site's heritage values.
Conservation works, including restoration and reconstruction, or adaption works of the absolute minimum so as to continue the lighthouse's usefulness as an AtoN are the only works that should be actioned by AMSA on Eddystone Point Lighthouse. Some exceptions are made for health and safety requirements, however any and all work carried out must be conducted in line with heritage considerations and requirements of the EPBC Act.
The table below demonstrates the level of sensitivity attributed to the various elements of the fabric register in the face of works resulting in change.
These are measured on a High-Moderate-Low spectrum depending on the action's possible threat to the site's heritage values.
High sensitivity
High sensitivity to change includes instances wherein a change would pose a major threat to the heritage value of a specific fabric, or the Lightstation as a whole. A major threat is one that would lead to substantial or total loss of the heritage value.
Moderate sensitivity
Moderate sensitivity to change includes instances wherein a change would pose a moderate threat to the heritage value of a specific fabric, or would pose a threat to the heritage significance of a specific fabric in another part of the building. A moderate threat is one that would diminish the heritage value, or diminish the ability of an observer to appreciate the value.
Low sensitivity
Low sensitivity to change includes instances wherein a change would pose little to no threat to the heritage value of a specific fabric, and would pose little to no threat to heritage significance in another part of the building.
