reference to and endorsement of this plan in its corporate planning documents, the Building Master Plan, and any future planning or development documentation for works, maintenance or activities affecting the Library.  This will include acknowledgment of the heritage values of the place.

           4.2 The National Library of Australia will seek the agreement of the National Capital Authority to include reference to and endorsement of this plan, and recognition of the Library's heritage values, in any future planning or development documentation for works or activities in the area surrounding the Library but outside the scope of this conservation management plan.  This would include the conservation management planning for the Parliament House Vista heritage area and master planning for the Humanities and Science Campus.

           Commentary:  The National Capital Authority has developed heritage management plans for Lake Burley Griffin and Adjacent Lands and the Parliament House Vista area, both of which comment on the setting and heritage curtilage of the National Library of Australia.  The policy establishes the principle that such planning should acknowledge and respect the significance of the Library and its setting, as described in this plan.

           4.3 The Building Master Plan, the five year Capital Works Plan, and annual Capital and Maintenance Programs will be reviewed at a draft stage for proposals which might impact on the heritage values of the building.  Policies and strategies from this conservation management plan will be implemented to ensure that Commonwealth Heritage values are conserved in the Library's planning for and execution of works.

           In addition, various services upgrade programs will be reviewed at planning stages to identify any potential impacts on heritage spaces and values.

           Commentary:  The Building Master Plan references heritage values of the building.  The 5 year Capital Works Plan indicates projects that may affect areas of heritage significance and all projects on the annual maintenance program are assessed for implications on heritage values.

With regards to the heritage significance of the Library, the National Library of Australia will develop clear procedures for complying with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

       In addition, the National Library of Australia must comply with the National Capital Plan.

       To achieve timely compliance, consultation with administering Departments or agencies and the Minister for the Environment and Energy will be undertaken.
