22.2      New work should be readily identifiable as such, but must respect and have minimal impact on the cultural significance of the place.    New work should be consistent with Articles 3, 5, 8, 15, 21 and 22.1.

Article 23. Retaining or reintroducing use
Article                                                                                                          Explanatory Notes
Retaining, modifying or reintroducing a significant use may be appropriate and preferred forms of conservation.  These may require changes to significant fabric but they should be minimised. In some cases, continuing a significant use, activity or practice may involve substantial new work.

Article 24. Retaining associations and meanings
Article   Explanatory Notes
24.1      Significant associations between people and a place should be respected, retained and not obscured. Opportunities for the interpretation, commemoration and celebration of these associations should be investigated and implemented.   For many places associations will be linked to aspects of use, including activities and practices.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Some associations and meanings may not be apparent and will require research.
24.2      Significant meanings, including spiritual values, of a place should be respected. Opportunities for the continuation or revival of these meanings should be investigated and implemented.

Article 25. Interpretation
Article                                                                                                                                                                                                  Explanatory Notes
The cultural significance of many places is not readily apparent, and should be explained by interpretation. Interpretation should enhance understanding and engagement, and be culturally appropriate.   In some circumstances any form of interpretation may be culturally inappropriate.

Article 26. Applying the Burra Charter Process
Article   Explanatory Notes
26.1      Work on a place should be preceded by studies to understand the place which should include analysis of physical, documentary, oral and other evidence, drawing on appropriate knowledge, skills and disciplines.                                                                                                                                               The results of studies should be kept up to date, regularly reviewed and revised as necessary.
26.2      Written statements of cultural significance and policy for the place should be prepared, justified and accompanied by supporting evidence. The statements of significance and policy should be incorporated into a management plan for the place.                                                                                                              Policy should address all relevant issues (for example, use, interpretation, management and change).
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A management plan is a useful document for recording the Burra Charter Process, ie, the steps in planning for and managing a place of cultural significance (Article 6.1 and flow chart). Such plans are often called conservation management plans and sometimes have other names.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The management plan may deal with other matters related to the management of the place.
26.3      Groups and individuals with associations with the place as well as those involved in its management should be provided
