of the KAVHA site has evolved. The values and
significance attributed to the site have been periodically revised to reflect the shifting perceptions and
understanding of the natural environment, history and social values of the community. Research activity,
combined with philosophical shifts and new concepts in heritage conservation, have also influenced how
the KAVHA site has been assessed. Today, the heritage values of the KAVHA site are understood to be
deep, varied and mutable.

The values of the KAVHA site are formally recognised and protected through heritage listings at National,
Commonwealth and Territory (local) levels. At an international level, the KAVHA site is one of the 11 sites
which comprise the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage property. The World Heritage inscribed area
and the NHL area share the same boundary (see Figure 1.1). The Commonwealth listed area excludes
private freehold land (see Figure 1.3) as listing only applies to land owned, managed or controlled by the
Commonwealth. The statutory heritage listings that apply to the KAVHA site are included in the table
below. The listings are arranged from international level to local level.
