  6.6 Potential pressures
A significant pressure that harnesses the potential to effect the Commonwealth heritage values of the place would be the obligation to remove or replace original fabric materials from the lightstation owing to unavoidable and irreversible deterioration.
In the case of Eddystone Point, the mercury float mechanism found within the lighthouse tower may create a hazardous environment in the event of a spill and the release of mercury vapours. WHS may require in the future to modify this mechanism by removing the mercury which would alter the Commonwealth heritage values identified in Criterion B (Rarity). At the time of preparing this management plan, no plans have been made to modify the mercury float mechanism.
In the event plans are made to modify or remove the mercury float, work will be conducted in line with the heritage considerations and requirements of the EPBC Act.
The increasing amount of tourism identified at Eddystone Point harnesses the potential to cause additional wear and tear to the precinct.
  6.7 Process for decision-making
Processes for decision-making are required in the event of incidents that impact  the heritage values of the site. The following incidents are included due to their likelihood of occurrence at Eddystone Point Lighthouse.
