the future use, preservation and conservation of the buildings and should be consulted when changes are proposed.

  5.6     Australian Institute of Architects

  The Australian Institute of Architects has no statutory authority, but is an authoritative interest group whose views are generally held in high regard by the local authorities, other stakeholders and key interest groups.

  The NFSA site has been included on the Australian Institute of Architects' Register of Significant Architecture. The Australian Institute of Architects is likely to take an interest in the future use, preservation and conservation of the buildings and should be consulted when changes are proposed.

  5.7     Burra Charter

  The Australian ICOMOS Charter for the conservation of places of cultural significance (the Burra Charter, as adopted in 2013) provides specific guidelines for the treatment of places of cultural significance.

  This study has been prepared in accordance with those principles. The Charter provides specific guidance for physical and procedural

  actions that should occur in relation to significant places. Guidelines relevant to NFSA are:
>        The significant elements of the site should be conserved and managed in a manner which does not place the item at risk (Article 2)
    >        Conservation works and changes on the site should be based upon a policy of minimal intrusion and change and should not distort an appreciation of the original fabric (Article 3)
>        Conservation works should be based upon best practice using traditional techniques in preference to modern adaptations (Article 4)
>        Conservation and future use to consider all aspects and relative degrees of significance (Article 5)
>        The use of the building has substantially remained office/ exhibition/pubic in nature, so future use should continue this type of use (Article 7)
>        The setting of the building is important and needs to be
    conserved with no new-detached un-associated construction or other action which detracts from its heritage value (Article 8)
>        The building should be retained in its current location (Article 9)
>        Conservation, interpretation and management of a place should be facilitated in a manner which provides for the participation of people for whom the place has special association and meanings (Article 12)
>        Conservation, preservation, restoration, reconstruction, interpretation and adaptation are all part of the ongoing conservation of the place and should follow accepted processes (Article 14–25)
>        This study is part of the Conservation process. More detailed studies of the site may be necessary before any new major conservation works occur (Article 26)
>        The impact on the significance should be considered before any change occurs (Article 27)

>        Existing significant fabric should be recorded before disturbance occurs. Disturbance of significant fabric may occur in order to provide evidence needed for the making of decisions on the
