to maintain or improve existing facilities outside the Visual Protection Zone that support work to conserve the site's National and Commonwealth Heritage values.

No adaptive reuse of the site will take place.

The buildings and associated material constituting the site are the property of the Australian Government.

Policy (5) Heritage impact assessments will be undertaken

All activities at the site are subject to an environmental impact assessment under the ATEP Act, and in some instances a referral under the EPBC Act may also be required. The environment impact assessment of all activities will take into account their impact on heritage values and whether the activity is consistent with this management plan. This will apply to:

    • any works on the site, other than routine maintenance (as described in the monitoring and maintenance plan) or urgent stabilisation work, which are not specified in this Plan;

    • any proposal to substantially modify an existing use or to introduce a new use to the site; and

    • any proposal to restore to a natural condition or otherwise modify the landscape containing cultural features.

Work that may affect subsurface archaeological evidence will be preceded by archaeological assessment and recording.

The field/team leader will have overall responsibility for undertaking the work specified in the work plan and according to permits and authorisations.

Policy (6) Recording should precede and follow conservation works

The AAD has obligations under the Archives Act 1983 and EPBC Act to hold records on the management of the site. Archival recording shall be carried out prior to any conservation work on a building, object or cultural landscape element, and on completion of conservation works. Archival recording will also be required during the removal of any fabric on site that exposes significant fabric or details.

Archival recording before conservation works commence shall include references to measured drawings of all buildings and structures and photographic recording. Archival recording after conservation works are complete shall comprise 'as-built' drawings and photographs of all buildings and structures that have been the subject of conservation works, indicating the location and detail of changes.

The AAD will keep records of cultural heritage objects (at the site and for those objects in Australia which are the property of the Commonwealth) using a computer-based information management system.

A list of current datasets can be found at Appendix VI.

Policy (7) Site monitoring should be regular and integrated

Within the limitation imposed by the site's remoteness and extreme weather conditions, the AAD will ensure that the condition of the site and its National and Commonwealth Heritage values are monitored and reported upon where possible, in an integrated and regular fashion. The primary aim of the monitoring plan shall be to detect and
