6.6             Potential pressures

 A significant pressure that harnesses the potential to effect the Commonwealth heritage values of the place would be the obligation to remove or replace original fabric materials from the lightstation owing to unavoidable and irreversible deterioration.

 Increasing tourism on Montague Island has potential to cause additional wear and tear to the precinct.
