of the building fabric       1.9.1        All treatment of components must be carried out in accordance with the corresponding Permitted Action Schedule or by seeking approval of the approach via an Action Proposal Form (see Chapter 11). Prior to any treatment of specific components of the building fabric, the relevant Old Parliament House management strategy must be referred to for detailed guidance.
                                                                      1.9.2        A cleaning program must be implemented in accordance with the Permitted Action Schedule.
                                                                      1.9.3        The treatment of specific components of the building should be carried out as outlined below. This is not an exhaustive list of treatments, but rather a specific list of key components.
                                                                         * The roof line must remain below the height of the parapet line. The roof cladding and structure should be repaired where feasible, or modified and replaced as necessary.

TREATMENT APPROACH
                            * Where feasible, pre-1988 floor fabric should be conserved, with appropriate finishes. Sample areas of rubber flooring should be retained in use and on display where their ongoing conservation can be achieved. Where rubber or parquet floor materials are unserviceable, and it is intended to lay new and different floor coverings (for example, carpet in place of rubber), consideration should be given to methods of laying new floor coverings on top of old which might maximise the conservation of the earlier flooring. Every effort should be made to conserve in situ at least a sample of original flooring treatments, if more extensive conservation is not feasible. If flooring has been assessed by the Actions Committee for removal owing to its poor condition, then a replica must be considered the most appropriate alternative (see also Policies 1.4.1 and 1.5.5). Floor management should be consistent with the
                          Old Parliament House Floor Management Strategy. Refer to the strategy and associated policies for direction.
                            * Ceilings in spaces with high individual heritage value should be retained at their existing height or reconstructed to the height that reflects their significance. In other areas, existing lowered ceiling heights may be retained if these are needed to conceal mechanical or electrical services.
                            * Evidence of former colour schemes should be researched and documented to the highest standard of heritage practice.
                            * The colour schemes applied to the exterior or interior spaces of heritage value in Old Parliament House should be based on a documented former scheme.
                            * Painting of interior spaces in sympathetic but non-historical new colours is an acceptable component of adaptation to new uses where the level of sensitivity to change allows, and where the interpretation of the building is not a primary function of the space.
                            * Frequent painting of pre-1988 surfaces for exhibition purposes should be discouraged, or other techniques used, to retain pre-1988 architectural
