Heritage List, a site must be assessed to be of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). Assessment of OUV
includes evaluation against 10 selection criteria, and consideration of the authenticity and integrity, as well
as the protection and management of properties.

The Australian Convict Sites were deemed to satisfy criteria (iv) and (vi):

(iv) to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which
illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history;

(vi) to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and
literary works of outstanding universal significance. (The Committee considers that this criterion should preferably be
used in conjunction with other criteria);

The Australian Convict Sites were assessed as a group and found to maintain authenticity and integrity,
despite some impacts of local circumstances such as urban context, or periods of abandonment and
reuse.
