Conservation Policy
Conservation policy is based on the principles embodied in the Burra Charter, a set of principles, processes and guidelines for best practice in heritage conservation developed by Australia ICOMOS (International Council of Monuments and Sites) and based on international standards.
The management and conservation policies identified in this section define how the conservation of the AWM’s heritage values—both official, listed National and Commonwealth Heritage values, and other, additional values identified in Section 4.0—identified values should be achieved. Implementation of these policies will also ensure the Memorial fulfils its obligations under the EPBC Act.
The tables in Section 6.2 identify general heritage conservation policies and actions for the AWM. Section 6.3 presents specific policies and actions for individual components of the AWM with specific requirements such as the Commemorative Area, Galleries and Landscape.
The use of these tools will assist in administering policy for conservation of the AWM’s heritage values. Managers will also need to ensure that proposals are not inconsistent with relevant policies in the Parliament House Vista and ANZAC Parade HMPs.
