area at the Assistant Keeper's Quarters will, if the opportunity arises, be stored securely on site for use in the possible future reconstruction of the courtyard dividing wall. This work could only be undertaken following removal of the barbecue area, fountain and raised decking.

Where appropriate, existing memorials and plaques located at the Macquarie Lightstation, including those located within the lighthouse itself, will be conserved and retained at the place

Policy 19                                                                    Previous archaeological assessments and investigations undertaken at the Macquarie Lightstation indicate that buried top soil deposits have the potential to contain Aboriginal objects and buried sandstone surfaces have the potential to contain surviving rock engravings. There is also the potential that Aboriginal shell midden materials has been used to create the shell lime mortar that bonds the sandstone blocks quarried on-site to construct the Greenway wall.                             1. The Aboriginal archaeological potential of the whole of the place will be protected by avoiding excavation where possible.

Consultation with Indigenous local communities is recommended, in particular with the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council (LPLALC), when considering impacts on Indigenous places and in accordance with the Aboriginal Heritage Objectives and Policies set out in Part 3 of the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan 2003

Suitable clauses will be included in all contractor and subcontractor contracts to specify the obligations which need to be met relating to Aboriginal objects or artefacts, such as:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          In the event that Aboriginal objects or artefacts are unintentionally uncovered during the works, work must cease in the area where the objects were found and the Harbour Trust immediately informed. The Harbour Trust will consult with the Local Aboriginal Land Council and arrange for a suitably qualified archaeologist to inspect the site and undertake an assessment before determining the appropriate course of action.

It is recommended that the LPLALC be invited to participate in future heritage site inductions with site contractors for works involving excavation or ground disturbance where there is a risk of discovery of Aboriginal objects or archaeological deposits.

The Historic archaeological potential of the whole of the place should be conserved by avoiding excavation where possible.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. If any necessary archaeological works are required, they should be undertaken by a suitably qualified excavation director.

Proposed works for the introduction of new or upgrading of existing services and infrastructure should be assessed with the view to minimising impacts on the archaeological potential of the place.
