All current and incoming tour guides operating within AMSA lighthouses will be required  to take the lighthouse tour guide safety induction e-learning module once every two years to stay informed on visitor safety and lighthouse duty- of-care and the site's heritage values.

•          All relevant staff will undertake a relevant induction to ensure comprehension of the Commonwealth heritage and EPBC Act (1999) statutory requirements.

•          Contractors engaged with heritage sites will undertake a relevant induction to ensure comprehension of the Commonwealth heritage and EPBC Act (1999) statutory requirements.

Policy 10 – Utilise contractors and service providers with appropriate experience.

 AMSA need to ensure parties carrying out work have appropriate knowledge and use effective methods to ensure the conservation of the lighthouse.

 Implementation strategy:

•          Engage staff and contractors  with  the relevant experience and expertise concerning conservation of the lightstation.

•          If and when necessary, provide the appropriate training on heritage conservation matters for AMSA staff and other relevant parties who hold responsibility for heritage management.

Policy 11 – Seek heritage advice and apply best heritage practice.

 AMSA will continue to utilise in-house heritage expertise, external consultancy, or a combination of both as required in order to successfully apply best heritage practice. Should in-house heritage
 expertise be limited in responding to a requirement, external heritage expertise will be engaged to address the issue.

 Implementation strategy:

•          Apply in-house heritage expertise when required.

•          Utilise guiding documents such as the Burra Charter and Working Together Managing Commonwealth Heritage Places: a guide for Commonwealth agencies (Commonwealth of Australia, 2019) in measuring the likely impact of proposals.

•          Utilise guiding documents such as the
   NSW State Heritage listing site specific exemptions, and Schedule C of the Heritage Act 1997: Notice of Listing on the State Heritage Register Under Section 37 (1)(b): Cape Byron Lightstation (including moveable

   items), in managing the heritage values of the
   Lightstation.

•          Seek external heritage expertise in the event of
   limited in-house capability.

Policy 12 – Appropriate protocol in the event of unforeseen discoveries or disturbances of heritage within the AMSA site.

 AMSA's scope of work rarely involves excavation. Should such work need be undertaken, AMSA will implement a suitable cultural heritage management plan (CHMP) and seek advice from suitably  qualified personnel as required. In the event of
 any unforeseen discovery/disturbance of heritage- related items within the AMSA site, notification to the appropriate organisation will occur in accordance  with the conditions of the CHMP. This plan will also be updated accordingly.

 Note: In most cases generally AMSA's leases are limited to the immediate vicinity of the Lighthouse and therefore this scenario is not anticipated as a likely occurrence.

 Implementation strategy:

•          Seek appropriate heritage advice and apply best practice in
