decisions which have the potential to significantly affect the Commonwealth Heritage values of the site will be founded on advice obtained through consultation with qualified professionals or by employing specialist technical expertise. The particular expertise needed will be dictated by the issue to be managed.
Construction works will be carried out by licensed and appropriately specialised tradespersons, and the AAD will ensure that all contractors and consultants working on heritage fabric are aware of the management plan for the site and have been educated as to the site's heritage values.
The management of asbestos containing material will be undertaken in accordance with the relevant AAD asbestos register and the AAD's asbestos management plan. (Asbestos has been identified in a number of the old buildings and structures. Activities that have the potential to disturb this material must be managed to prevent fibres from becoming airborne and creating an inhalation hazard.)

Policy (13) Recording should precede and follow conservation works
Records will be maintained of the management of the station's heritage fabric. Archival recording will be carried out prior to and on completion of any conservation work.
Archival recording should include references to measured drawings of buildings and structures; photographic recording; and 'as-built' records of buildings and structures indicating the location and detail of changes.

Policy (14) Monitoring should be targeted and regular
Changes in the physical condition of buildings will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of the management plan. The results of the monitoring program will inform the development of annual maintenance schedules and budgets.

Policy (15) Heritage research may be permitted
Requests to undertake research will be considered and prioritised alongside other projects demanding significant resources. The associated data and reports will be lodged with the Australian Antarctic Data Centre and the AAD library.

Policy (16) Interpretive material will be prepared
Tools and or training will enhance expeditioners' appreciation of and respect for the site's historic fabric and heritage values.
Web-focussed interpretative materials will be developed to promote a richer understanding of the site and to make related management decision making more accessible to the broader community.
Artefacts may be made available for exhibition.
