or environmental values.

. The significant traditional agricultural use of Watermill Valley, including the use of the dam, will be
continued. The potential to reintroduce a wider range of agricultural and horticultural uses to
interpret the historical landscape will be investigated but would need to be managed so there are no
adverse impacts on heritage or environmental values.

8.5.4 The Continuation and Transmission of Values

. The World, National, Commonwealth and Norfolk Island heritage values of the KAVHA site will be
communicated.

. The heritage values that the KAVHA site holds for the Norfolk Island community will be respected
and supported, recognising that this place is part of the foundation story for the present-day Norfolk
Island community. These values will be documented and taken into account in site management.

° Where identified heritage values appear to be in conflict, a process will be established to seek,
wherever possible, the co-existence and therefore the retention of all values. This policy recognises
that conflicting values may be expressed within the Norfolk Islander community or between World,
National and Norfolk Island values.

. Knowledge about the history, traditions and cultural expressions associated with the community of
Norfolk Island will be recorded and presented at the KAVHA site.

. The expression, sharing, continuation and transmission of cultural traditions and knowledge at the
KAVHA site will be designed to benefit the Norfolk Island community.
