Archive will need to endorse the HMP and these policies as the document for managing the building and site.

  This HMP provides a basis for this to occur provided it is supported by all parties and implemented in future management decisions.

  Where proposed work is in accordance with the HMP then there is unlikely to be any adverse effect on the heritage significance of the place.

  Policy 1.4
  The principles of protecting and conserving the building to retain the significance  and  protect official listed values as outlined in Section 4.7 to be adopted.

  These principles explain acceptable actions to the various elements of the building depending on significance and are expanded on and clarified in Section 7.6.

  Policy 1.5
  Any proposed future action that may detrimentally affect the official listed values of the NFSA need to refer to the EPBC Act, specifically the referral process.

  It is essential that the requirements of the EPBC Act are understood
  and followed so the official listed values and heritage significance of the place are maintained. Elements that have been identified as having a low tolerance for change are part of the official listed values and need to be protected.

  7.4     Future Use of the NFSA buildings

  Conservation Objective 2:
  ensure ongoing use conserves and protects the official listed values and heritage significance of the place and the associated values and meanings.

  Policy 2.1
  The main building should retain a predominantly exhibition function. Smaller spaces within the building could retain an office, display, storage or meeting function. The Residence could be returned to a single residence or continued as office space.

  The NFSA main building and Residence have undergone little change in use. The main building is still being utilised for its original
  exhibition/office function, although some floor area of exhibition
  space has been reduced with the introduction of the Arc Cinema in the North Gallery. The ground floor spaces of the main building should predominantly be for public display and exhibition of some form.

  Public access to exhibition spaces is important to retain.

  Exhibition includes the promotion of film and sound in an Australian cultural context. It includes a multi- media dimension with a high level of interaction and promotion of film and sound in a broad context.

  Ancillary spaces can be used as necessary in achieving the overall use.

  The Arc Cinema in the North Gallery and Theatrette are noted but the space could be reinstated to a gallery space if and 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
