Policy 2 – Install and operate equipment in the lighthouse, so that it continues to function as an effective marine aid to navigation, in such a way as to impose the least possible harm to the significant fabric.

Cape Byron Lighthouse’s utilisation as a working marine aid to navigation is of high priority. The carrying out of maintenance (including upgrades to navigational equipment) is necessary to its function and to the continuation of marine safety along the NSW coast. In the event of the installation and/or upgrade to AtoN equipment, proper precaution will be taken to ensure the least possible harm is done to significant fabric.

Implementation strategy:

• Monitor Cape Byron’s AtoN equipment and propose maintenance in the instance of necessary installation/removal.
• Outline all possible risks to significant fabric (external and internal) associated with the installation/removal/operation of navigational equipment.
• Ensure works carried out are those that ensure

the least possible harm to significant fabric.
