  •       Encourage site  use that is compatible with the historical fabric, infrastructure and general environment.

  •       Record and document maintenance works, and changes to the fabric in the Cape Byron Lighthouse fabric register.

 The organisational planning cycle and associated budgeting process is used to confirm requirements, allocate funding, and manage delivery of maintenance activities. Detailed planning for the  aids to navigation network is managed through our internal planning processes.

1.3             Methodology

 The methods used in the preparation of this plan are consistent with the recommendations of The Burra Charter. The plan addresses:

  •       The history of the site based on information sourced from archival research, expert knowledge, and documentary resources.

  •       The description of the site based on information sourced from site inspection reports, and fabric registers.

  •       The Commonwealth heritage criterions satisfied by Cape Byron as set out by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000 (EPBC Regulations).

 The EPBC Regulation Section 7A (h) (i-xiii)
 was used to develop the necessary policies for management of the Cape Byron Lightstation, and  the Department of Environment and Energy advised on best practice management approaches.

 The draft management plan was advertised in accordance with the EPBC Regulations and the comments received were incorporated into the final document. A developed draft was then submitted to the Minister through the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population  and Communities and in that process the Minister's delegate sought advice from the Australian Heritage Council.

 No updates or amendments have been made in this version of the plan. Future updates and amendments will be listed here.

1.4             Status

 This plan has been adopted by AMSA in  accordance with Schedule 7A (Management plans for Commonwealth Heritage places) and Schedule 7B (Commonwealth Heritage management principles) of the EPBC Regulations (2000) to guide the management of the place and for inclusion in  the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments.

1.5             Authorship
