5.3 Condition and integrity of the Commonwealth heritage values
A heritage monitoring program was implemented in 2016. Each site is visited and reviewed every two years to evaluate the heritage fabric and values of the site. Assessment of the condition and integrity of lighthouse's values are derived from the latest available Heritage Asset Condition Report produced by AMSA's maintenance contractor.
'Condition' is measured on a Good – Fair – Poor scale and incorporates the current condition of the specific value. Integrity is measured on a High – Medium – Low scale which incorporates the value's intactness.
Gabo Island Lighthouse's Commonwealth heritage values and its associated attributes maintain good condition and high-medium integrity. The integrity is somewhat diminished due to the removal of the original internal stair and balcony balustrades.
