areas of the site. It remains in situ to protect the site's significant heritage structures, or where full removal of the contamination was not practicable, or where the soils are already adequately capped by existing sealed surfaces such as pavements or buildings. This remaining contamination is relatively inert and was caused by the use of lead-based paint on the external surfaces of heritage structures and past operations at the lighthouse precinct.

In 2011, Coffey Environments Australia Pty Ltd (Coffey) prepared a site-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for management of localised residual contamination. The purpose of the EMP is to provide guidance on the management of remnant contamination so that health and environmental risk is minimised.

Figure 13 depicts the areas of remnant contamination. Refer to Section 7 Outcomes of this Plan for ongoing management of site conditions.

6.7. Stormwater and Services

The site is located on a ridge and stormwater drains to the east towards the ocean and to the west towards Old South Head Road.

Following the transfer of the site to the Harbour Trust, a licensed plumber was engaged to audit the extent and condition of the hydraulic services on the site. This included the sewerage, stormwater and water services. While hydraulic site services were generally found to be adequate, the following upgrades and alterationswere completed in 2011:

       * Repairs to broken and undersized stormwater lines and pits;
       * Installation of new stormwater lines and overflow pits;
       * Connection of Lighthouse to the stormwater service; and
       * Provision of water meters to individual properties.

The electricity supply to the site was initially provided via an aerial feed to a power pole located in the rear yard of the Head Keeper's Quarters. The main board and meters for all power usage on the site, with the exception of the Assistant Keepers' Quarters, were also located here. Electricity was originally supplied underground from this point to various buildings on the site; this arrangement required upgrading to provide improved power supply to the lighthouse, Head Keeper's Quarters and townhouses. It was unsightly as the aerial feed, pole and board across the Head Keeper's Quarters obstructed views from Christison Park to the lighthouse.

The Outcomes section outlines how the issues raised will be addressed.

6.8. Compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC)

Given the significance of the site, the Harbour Trust commenced public tours of the site in 2002 under a short-term tourist license agreement with AMSA. Prior to commencing the tours, a BCA assessment of the building was undertaken by Trevor Howse & Associates in order to determine any shortfalls in compliance with the BCA.

The Harbour Trust is progressively upgrading the publicly-accessible
