out by the private lessee have included installation of underground power cables, telephone cables and water supply lines.

Implementation strategy
    * Coordinate installation of services to occupy common trenches as far as possible.
    * Plan the location of trenches to avoid areas formerly occupied by structures.

8.7.5. Issue 22: Hazardous materials

Policy 22: Avoid the release of hazardous materials by avoidance, encapsulation or replacement

Commentary
Most of the lightstation buildings include at least some asbestos-cement components, such as corrugated roof sheeting and accessories, and wall and ceiling linings. Another potentially hazardous material is paint containing lead pigment.

Implementation strategy
    * Safely remove or encapsulate lead paint.
    * Stabilise or avoid disturbance of asbestos-cement.
    * Investigate replacement of asbestos-cement with non-hazardous alternatives.

8.7.6. Issue 23: Vegetation

Policy 23: Maintain the evidence of historical landscape management practices such as clearing of native vegetation and the introduction of garden plants, while protecting against the propagation of weeds outside of the immediate lightstation area

Commentary
The GBRMPA obtains advice from the QPWS on fire management plans for Dent Island, and will include Dent Island in regional pest and weed management strategies. Appendix 10.9 lists introduced garden plants at the lightstation.

Implementation strategy

    * Manage the vegetation in the lightstation area in ways that keep the evidence of cultural practices.

8.7.7. Issue 24: The engine room

Policy 24: Maintain and conserve the engine room, while adapting it for use as the electrical distribution point for the lightstation

Commentary

The building contains a mixture of equipment, some of which was introduced after the station was automated and de-manned — this later equipment is not significant.

Implementation strategy
    * Leave in situ any equipment associated with the operation of the manned lightstation.
    * Install new equipment in a reversible manner.

8.7.8. Issue 25: The winch house and derrick crane

Policy 25: Maintain and conserve the winch house, derrick crane and associated structures

Commentary
These structures — including the winch house, landing platform, landing stage, derrick crane, boat platform and access ladder — are to be conserved in accordance with an engineer's report prepared in 2012.

Implementation strategy
    * Stabilise the concrete slab of the landing platform.
    * Conserve the derrick crane and winch house.
    * Preserve the machinery.

8.7.9. Issue 26: The cottages

Policy 26: Maintain and conserve the two cottages, with minor adaptation to support continued use

Commentary

Following extensive refurbishment carried out by the private lessee, with the approval of the GBRMPA, the houses are in sound and secure condition, and fit for use by the staff who live in them.

Implementation strategy
    * Continue regular maintenance of the two cottages.
    * Adapt the cottages in a reversible manner to facilitate continued domestic use.
