conserve, maintain and enhance the significant convict and institutional structures and their settings and fabric in-situ.                                                                            2. Removal of intrusive fabric of low heritage significance may be considered if it aids in the interpretation and visibility of significant fabric.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3.

Remove intrusive elements and consider reinstatement of convict structures where there is sufficient evidence.
Evidence of convict hard labour includes the sandstone buildings, quarried cliffs, the rock cut grain silos and the Fitzroy Dock. Fitzroy Dock is outstanding as the only remaining dry dock built using convict and prisoner labour and it is one of the largest convict-era public works surviving in Sydney (NHL Criterion a).
