and the tourism industry. There are also
opportunities to extend and improve the interpretation of the place, both for Norfolk Island visitors and in a
wider educational context. Improving governance and management arrangements for the KAVHA site and
re-engaging the Norfolk Island community will require some changes by the Australian Government and
the Norfolk Island administration. Such change is fundamental to successful conservation. Management of
the KAVHA site should reflect best practice heritage management principles such as those established in
The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance 2013 (the Burra Charter), the Cairns
Communiqué, the Australian Convict Sites Strategic Management Framework and the Australian World
Heritage management principles under the EPBC Regulations 2000:

Heritage management principles provide a guiding framework for excellence in managing heritage properties. They
set the standard and scope for the way places should be managed in order to best protect the heritage values for the
generations ahead.1

Places on the Australian National Heritage List are required to have management plans which set out how

generations, their National Heritage values.

2. The management of National Heritage places should use the best available knowledge, skills and standards for
those places, and include ongoing technical and community input to decisions and actions that may have a
significant impact on their National Heritage values.

3. The management of National Heritage places should respect all heritage values and seek to integrate, where
appropriate, any Commonwealth, state, territory and local government responsibilities for those places.

4. The management of National Heritage places should ensure that their use and presentation is consistent with the
conservation of their National Heritage values.

5. The management of National Heritage places should make timely and appropriate provision for community
involvement, especially by people who:

(a) have a particular interest in, or associations with, the place, and
(b) may be affected by the management of the place.

6. Indigenous people are the primary source of information on the value of their heritage and the active participation

Indigenous heritage values.
