                                                                                   * The objective in managing Commonwealth Heritage places is to identify, protect, conserve, present and transmit, to all generations, their Commonwealth Heritage values.

                                                                                   * The management of Commonwealth 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 Commonwealth Heritage values.

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

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

                                                                                   * The management of Commonwealth 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;

                                                                                   * Indigenous people are the primary source of information on the value of their heritage and that the active participation of indigenous people in identification, assessment and management is integral to the effective protection of indigenous heritage values.

                                                                                   * The management of Commonwealth Heritage places should provide for regular monitoring, review and reporting on the conservation of Commonwealth Heritage values.

AMSA Heritage Strategy 2022-2025                                             As the custodian of many iconic sites, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has long recognised the importance of preserving their cultural heritage.
                                                                             This Heritage Strategy is in response to section 341ZA of the EPBC Act (1999) which obliges AMSA to prepare and maintain a heritage strategy, along with obliging AMSA to:

                                                                                  * Assist in identification, assessment and monitoring of places of heritage value in its care;
                                                                                  * Prepare and maintain a register of its places of heritage value;
                                                                                  * Protect the heritage value of places when they are sold or leased;
                                                                                  * Provide this heritage strategy, and any subsequent major updates, to the relevant minister.

                                                                             The strategy derives from the AMSA Corporate Plan and achievements are reported through the AMSA Annual Report. The 2020-21 AMSA Annual report can be found online.[xlvi]
