when NFSA no longer require the current functions in
  the spaces.

  The Residence returned to a residential function in 2008 and has been used for academic research.
  It would be acceptable to reinstate as a single-family residence in future
  if required.

  The usage of spaces in the Annex may vary without any control provided it does not impact on fabric of the main building or external setting.

  Policy 2.2
  The NFSA buildings be conserved, protected and adapted in a manner that does not compromise their official listed values and heritage significance and in a
  way consistent with the policies set down in this Heritage Management Plan.

  Ongoing economic use of the buildings as far as practical is important to ensure they are kept in good condition and sufficient
  funding needs to be provided for maintenance. This will require a level of sensitive adaptation of some areas to suit a new function.

  Policy 2.3
  The displays and resources in the main building to remain accessible to the public.

  Throughout the life of the building public access to the majority of
  the ground floor has always been possible. Such access should be retained in any future use.

  Policy 2.4
  In order to conserve and protect the official listed values and heritage significance, including the landscape setting, any works (such as site development for roads, car parking and buildings) need to be considered in reference to the EPBC Act with major works needing to be referred to the Minister for Environment.

  This means:
    >        The removal of trees to create large, paved areas not to be permitted. It is noted that the footpath along the northern edge of the Annex in 2014 did not require removal of mature trees.
    >        Additional driveways not to be permitted unless it is clearly demonstrated that there will be no loss of or threat to any street trees. However consideration
    of a driveway off Liversidge Street similar to the original intent is possible (refer Figure 5, Figure 25).

  The site to remain predominantly lawn with scattered trees
  except for the formal front of the building. It is noted that extensive plantings of native grasses associated with the Annex building represent a departure from the historic grass/mass planting typology in terms of colour, texture, seasonal change, etc, however they provide low ground cover
  and do not detract from the open landscape setting to the building.

    >        Preserve the area of native grasses west of the residence (between residence and Annex). It is noted that native grass planting was undertaken against the eastern façade of the Annex, but there is no evidence of native grasses pre-dating the Annex works.
    >        Service access to the site to work within these
