Description of the plan
The content and decision-making tool developed for this Heritage Management Plan is a response to a variety of influences, as outlined in Figure 1.
The diagram show three primary areas of influence: statutory requirements (see Chapter 4), MoAD Strategic Plan (see Chapter 5), and heritage sector standards (see Appendix E). The primary influences feed into Part A Context The complexity of the site is another influence that feeds into Part B of the plan: Management Framework. The complexities are: the many and varied uses, its layered history, the building has over 500 rooms, it is a symbolic place in the national memory, and its a place of personal connection. The fact that OPH is a busy site is an influence that feeds into Part C of the plan: Management and Implementation Tools. Operational requirements of OPH include exhibitions, visitors, learning programs, events, facilities management, conservation, tenants, catering and staff.
