  Carpark screening
    >        It is acknowledged that the open grassed areas are exceptional features, however where carparks have been introduced it would be acceptable to introduce and maintain borders of low (say, to 1.0m high) narrow plantings, where the reduced visibility of cars has merit in conserving and protecting an appropriate landscape character.

  North carpark tree planting
    >        It is desirable to introduce supplementary tree plantings within the carpark area to provide a greater landscape setting and to re-introduce the interior avenue row of trees following McCoy Cct which remains evident on the south side of the site (originally Celtis, now being replaced by Zelkova).

  Nitrate bunker
    >        It is desirable to maintain a landscape setting for the nitrate bunker, including the re-establishment of groundcover or low shrub plantings to earth embankments.

  Maintenance Checklist

  The following Checklist identifies specific areas to be monitored on at least an annual basis to ensure the conservation and protection of this heritage asset. Clearly a more comprehensive checklist and time frames will be developed as part of the Asset Management Plan. The following list should be incorporated into that list:
>        Monitor external sandstone and granite. Record crack development and or spalling of stone. Repair as necessary.
>        Monitor weatherproofness and operation of windows and doors.
    >        Replace broken glass.
>        Monitor soundness of roof sheeting and concrete topping. Implement repairs urgently.
>        Monitor condition of downpipes, rainwater heads and roof drainage system.
>        Continue to monitor integrity of residence walls and roof.
>        Monitor soundness of marble and tiled floors.
    >        Secure loose/squeaky floorboards where possible.
>        Monitor integrity of roof light glazing systems.
>        Monitor condition of waterproof membrane to colonnade roof.
    >        Monitor rising damp in basement walls and western walls. Repair if soundness of fabric threatened.
>        Check soundness of balustrading and handrails internal and external.

    >        Check for presence of termites in either building and within precinct.
>        Monitor condition of older trees on site. Implement program of progressive replacement with propagated plant material when considered appropriate.
>        Monitor health of remaining original eucalyptus trees.
>        Monitor condition of grassed lawn areas. Implement irrigation wherever feasible, routine horticultural practices (such as coring/de-thatching/ fertilising), rabbit control, and effective reinstatement after disturbance (including where trees are removed, by utility authorities, etc).
>        Monitor condition of planted garden areas. Implement irrigation wherever feasible, routine horticultural practices such as weeding, fertilising, pruning, replanting, mulching, etc to maintain dense, continuous coverage by plantings.

  Annual Maintenance reviews of the building should also include an assessment of operations of the place and planning strategies for the forward 12 months to determine whether any actions have been taken or
