sports, religious, residential, administration, legal, governance, and other land and sea uses.

° Where an existing long-term use is no long compatible with the heritage or environmental values of
the space within which it occurs, or where the space is not able to accommodate the changing

relaxation, picnicking, launching vessels, religious activities, musical events and the arts will be
supported and encouraged.

. The cemetery will continue to be used for burials. Research into and documentation of the location

supported, especially where such use assists in interpreting the phases of settlement and helps
