with the Minister for the Environment and Energy or his/her delegate as required under the EPBC Act, with regard to the conservation management plan (s341S of the Act).

           5.2 Where the National Library of Australia is not able to achieve full compliance with relevant legislation, the reasons for not being able to comply will be appropriately documented and the authority responsible for the legislation consulted.

           5.3 The National Library of Australia will develop procedures to trigger compliance and referrals required by the EPBC Act.

           5.4 The National Library of Australia will consult informally with the Department of the Environment and Energy regarding the conservation management plan and any actions that it considers have, will have or are likely to have a significant impact on the Library as a Commonwealth Heritage place, noting that such consultation is not formally required under the EPBC Act.

           5.5 The National Library of Australia will consult with the National Capital Authority as the manager of immediately adjacent land having heritage values.  The purpose of this consultation will be to achieve sympathetic conservation management of the setting of the place which is, where operationally feasible, consistent with the high standards established by the EPBC Act.

            5.6 The National Library of Australia will maintain a list of moral rights holders relevant to the place and will implement processes to consult moral rights holders on relevant issues or proposals.

           Commentary:  Beyond the requirements of the moral rights legislation, moral rights holders should be regarded as a key source of information and interpretation about aspects of the place.

Policy 6 Use of expert advice and skills
       Advice shall be sought from people with relevant experience in the management and/or conservation of heritage properties in relation to complex heritage conservation issues affecting the National Library of Australia.

       Appropriately skilled people will be used to undertake works affecting components of the National Library of Australia with heritage values.

       Implementation Strategy

           6.1 New proposals affecting components of the National Library of Australia with heritage values will be developed with the involvement of relevant expert heritage advice to ensure an integrated planning and design approach is adopted.

Policy 7 Decision making process for works or actions
       The Library should ensure that it has an effective and consistent decision-making process for works or actions affecting the place which takes full account of its heritage significance.  All such decisions should be suitably documented and these records kept for future reference.

       Implementation strategies

       7.1 The process will involve:
                * early consultation with internal and external stakeholders relevant to the particular decision;
                * an understanding of the specific heritage values affected, the original and subsequent character, and later changes to the area involved;
                * documentation of the
