Evidence for the potential gain or loss of heritage values will be documented within this section of future versions of this heritage management plan.

  6      Opportunities and constraints

  6.1 Implications arising from significance
The Commonwealth statement of significance (section 5.1 above) demonstrates Goose Island Lighthouse is a place of considerable heritage value due to its contribution to the development of coastal navigation of Bass Strait, and its assistance during a period of increased shipping between Melbourne, Hobart and Launceston.
The implication arising from this assessment is that key aspects of the place should be conserved to retain this significance. The key features requiring conservation include:
    * continued use of the lighthouse as an AtoN
    * architectural quality of the building
    * interior spaces and features, which are notable for their design and/or their original lighthouse function. These include:
         * intermediate floors
         * ground floor
         * spiral staircase
         * lantern room and base
         * Fresnel lens pedestal
    * external spaces and features, which are notable for their design, details, and/or their original lighthouse function. These include:
         * lantern roof
         * balcony
         * tower walls and windows
         * store shed
Referral and approvals of action
The EPBC Act requires approval from the Minister for the Environment, for all actions likely to have a significant impact on matters of National Environmental Significance (NES).
The Act provides that actions:
    * taken on Commonwealth land which are likely to have a significant impact on the environment will require the approval of the Minister.

    * taken outside Commonwealth land which are likely to have a significant impact on the environment on Commonwealth land, will require the approval by the Minister.

    * taken by the Australian Government or its agencies which are likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere will require approval by the Minister.
The definition of 'environment' in the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations includes the cultural
