may have a significant impact on their Commonwealth Heritage values.

3.              The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should respect all heritage values of the place and seek to integrate, where appropriate, any Commonwealth, State, Territory and local government responsibilities for those places.

4.              The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should ensure that their use and presentation is consistent with the conservation of their Commonwealth Heritage values.

5.              The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should make timely and appropriate provision for community involvement, especially by people who:

             a)         Have a particular interest in, or associations with, the place; and
             b)         May be affected by the management of the place.

6.              Indigenous people are the primary source of information on the value of their heritage and that the active participation of indigenous people in identification, assessment and management is integral to the effective protection of indigenous heritage values.

7.              The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should provide for regular monitoring, review and reporting on the conservation of Commonwealth Heritage values.

       When assessing the Commonwealth heritage significance of places within the study area, in addition to applying the primary and secondary tests of the Commonwealth Heritage Listing criteria and the significance thresholds, reference also needs to be made to the above Commonwealth Heritage Management Principles. The latter is particularly relevant to the study area where there are:

            * Other heritage values of the place that are the responsibility of the ACT Government (Principle 3); and

            * A number of indigenous places for which the primary source of information on the value of their heritage has been provided through the active participation of local Aboriginal communities (Principle 6).

7.2  Significance

       Given its disturbed context and the lack of rare or notable features, the archaeological significance of isolated find AWM1 is considered to be low. However, all Aboriginal archaeological recordings retain significance for the local Aboriginal community. Aboriginal representative Mr Don Bell expressed concern that the Aboriginal recording within the Campbell study area be protected as much as possible from any potential direct impacts resulting from any future development.

       As representatives of ACT Aboriginal stakeholder groups have indicated that the isolated find, AWM1, recorded in the Campbell Precinct is valued by the local Aboriginal community as important as part of the local indigenous tradition, the site meets Criterion (i) of the Commonwealth Heritage Listing criteria.

       Further, as the site is considered to have significant heritage value to local Aboriginal community groups it meets the threshold for recording on the Commonwealth Heritage List.
