Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

This Heritage Management Plan (2025–2030) directs the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to protect and manage Kirribilli House and Garden’s Commonwealth-heritage values, ensuring conservation, maintenance and assessment of changes under the EPBC Act. It applies to PM&C managers, contractors, Indigenous stakeholders and official users.

The plan matters because Kirribilli—listed on the Commonwealth Heritage List—is a rare Victorian Rustic Gothic harbourside estate and must be preserved while remaining a functioning Prime Minister’s residence.

Introduction

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background

Kirribilli House is owned by the Commonwealth of Australia, as represented by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C). AECOM Australia Pty Ltd (AECOM) was commissioned to prepare an updated Heritage Management Plan (HMP) for Kirribilli House at Kirribilli, New South Wales (NSW) (referred to in this report as ‘the site’, ‘Kirribilli House’, ‘Kirribilli House and Garden’, and the ‘study area’).

The transfer of administration from the Department of Finance to the Department of PM&C took place in 2017. Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), Commonwealth agencies are required to identify, manage, and conserve heritage items. The EPBC Act requires that HMPs are reviewed and updated every five years. This HMP replaces and updates a HMP prepared in 2016, Kirribilli House Operational Heritage Management Plan, Volumes 1 and 2 (GML Heritage Pty Ltd, 2016), hereafter referred as, HMP, 2016.

1.2 Site location

Kirribilli House is located on the Kirribilli peninsula, on the northern foreshore of Sydney Harbour, directly opposite Circular Quay and the Opera House. It is located adjacent to Admiralty House, the Sydney residence of the Governor-General of Australia. The site identification information is presented in Table 1‑1 and the location is shown on Figure 1‑1 and Figure 1‑2.

Objectives

1.5 Objectives

The objective of this HMP is to assist PM&C in the management of the assessed heritage values of Kirribilli House. The preparation and implementation of an HMP is required under Section 341S of the EPBC Act for places inscribed on the CHL.

The key issues are:

Identification and presentation of the Commonwealth, heritage values of Kirribilli House and Garden including historic, natural and Indigenous values
Provide management policies and guidelines to retain the identified heritage values of Kirribilli House and Garden
Ensuring that no activities diminish the significance of the setting, form and character of Kirribilli House and Garden
Ensuring that no activities diminish the main use of Kirribilli House as the Official Sydney residence of the Prime Minister
Continue to manage and maintain Kirribilli House to a very high standard considering its functional use as the Official Sydney residence of the Prime Minister.

This HMP has been developed to comply with the regulations provided in Schedule 7A and 7B of the EPBC Regulations 2000, which specifies the content of a management plan for CHL places. Table 1‑3 lists the requirements of Schedules 7A and 7B and references the sections of the HMP that address the requirements.

1.7 Methodology

1.7.1 General

To achieve the objectives of an HMP, the following scope of work was undertaken:

Complete a search of relevant heritage registers
Review of historical documentation and additional research to fill in knowledge gaps to develop an appreciation of the historical context of the site
Undertake a site inspection including consultation with Indigenous representatives to understand the physical context of the site
Assess the heritage values of the site using the relevant Commonwealth criteria
Undertake a risk assessment to heritage values of the site
Review and update management policies and develop maintenance activities.

The HMP adheres to the following legislative framework and best practice guidelines:

EPBC Act and Regulations
The Australia International Council for Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Charter for Places of Cultural Significance (2013) (the Burra Charter)
Australian Heritage Council (2010), Identifying Commonwealth Heritage values and Establishing a Heritage Register: A Guide for Commonwealth Agencies
Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (now Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water \[DCCEEW\]) Guide: Australia’s Commonwealth Heritage – Working Together – Managing Commonwealth Heritage Places
Australia Heritage Council, Ask First: A Guide to Respecting Indigenous Heritage Places and Values
Engage Early: Guidance for Proponents on best practice Indigenous engagement for environmental assessments under the EPBC Act
Commonwealth of Australia (2002), Australian Natural Heritage Charter.

Consultation with PM&C has determined that the Finance HMP report format is an acceptable template for use.

1.7.2 Assessment of significance Thresholds

Australia uses a four-tiered system for identifying significance. A site may be of significance at a World, National, State/Territory or local level.

Items that are deemed significant at a national level must demonstrate they are of significance to the people of Australia as a whole and are listed on the National Heritage List (NHL), an example of which is the Sydney Opera House. To be of State/Territory significance, an item must be of value to the people of that State/Territory, in this case NSW, and listed on the NSW State Heritage Register (SHR). An example would be the General Post Office in Martin Place. Items that may not be of significance at a National or State level but are important to the people of a town or region, may be found in statutory listings on the CHL and the relevant LEP.

The DCCEEW website provides some guidance in assessing the level of significance. To be considered for listing on the CHL, an item must be of at least local significance and have ‘significant’ heritage value against one or more criteria. To meet the threshold for the NHL the place must have ‘outstanding’ heritage value to the nation against one or more criteria. Appendix Q contains further information on the NHL and SHR listings.

1.7.3 Significance Assessment under the EPBC Act

The assessment of potential Indigenous, natural and historic heritage significance has been undertaken using the EPBC Act heritage significance criteria, as outlined in Table 1‑5. The assessment was undertaken using the guideline Identifying Commonwealth Heritage Values and Establishing a Heritage Register: A guideline for Commonwealth agencies (Australian Heritage Council, 2010).

Table 1‑5 EBPC Act heritage significance criteria

Criterion AThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s importance in the course or pattern of Australia’s natural or cultural history.
Criterion BThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s possession of uncommon, rare,or endangered aspects of Australia’s natural or cultural history.
Criterion CThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of Australia’s natural or cultural history.
Criterion DThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of:A class of Australia’s natural or cultural places; orA class of Australia’s natural or cultural environments.
Criterion EThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics valued by a community or cultural group.
Criterion FThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s importance in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement at a particular period.

Criterion GThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural, or spiritual reasons.
Criterion HThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in Australia’s natural or cultural history.
Criterion IThe place has significant heritage value because of the place’s importance as part of Indigenous tradition.

AECOM have also adopted the Finance significance ranking guide for ease of assessment and consistency with the previous HMP (GML Heritage Pty Ltd, 2016). The ranking system has been developed in reference to the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), Burra Charter, World Heritage Guidelines, Ask First Guideline for Indigenous places, and the Natural Heritage Charter.

Definitions for each category of the ranking system are provided in Table 1‑6 and Table 1‑7. This HMP adopts this ranking system for evaluating heritage significance.

1.7.4 Knowledge Gap Analysis

Preliminary review of reports for the site highlighted the following knowledge gaps:

The heritage significance of the site predominantly lies in the Victorian era and there is insufficient representation of this evidence in the documentary and physical analysis
Although there are several floor plans available for the site, the original house plans are yet to be located
Discussion of the significance of the pool and remnant boat shed ruins
Discussion of the shared history of Admiralty House and the site and why the two sites are separately listed
Demonstration of the wider landscape context of the harbour setting of the site and critical views and vistas
Clarity in the process of works approval
Reliance on the Kirribilli House Landscape Management Plan 2020, Taylor Brammer Landscape Architects (Taylor Brammer Landscape Architects Pty Ltd, 2020) alone is insufficient to demonstrate significance of the landscape elements. This means including information from the HMP, 2016 and previous landscape assessments.

A list of unsolved problems listed in the Kirribilli House, Conservation Analysis and Draft Conservation Policy 1985, Clive Lucas & Partners (Clive Lucas Stapleton & Partners Pty Ltd, 1986) are still unanswered. There are likely to be various reasons why they have not been resolved over the past 40 years, one of which is that a number of studies and documents have been produced over this time but were not consolidated, with some documents falling into disuse and thereafter overlooked. This iteration of the HMP has sought to rectify this by consolidating all relevant previous studies and has thus identified the unresolved issues.

Further, some of these issues require physical interventions to fabric and so may only be undertaken opportunistically as part of other works. It is recommended that the next HMP review should start by attempting to solve these issues through additional research. Some of these questions may be answered by detailed physical examination or during physical interventions to the fabric:

Confirmation of the position and detail of the original staircase
The detail of the original front door
The detail of the original bay window on the eastern elevation
The early detail of the door(s) in the south wall of Study
The detail of the original verandah
The detailing of the c.1860s verandah columns and bracket
Details of the original drawing room windows
The early use of some of the spaces in the building c.1856-1880
The exact position, configuration and use of the early outbuildings, c.1856-1920
The position and thickness of some early internal walls, c.1856-1920
Specific details about internal decoration, including some chimney pieces and grates
The detail and configuration of the boat sheds and original staircase down to harbour
Details of original fencing and gates.

Consultation

1.8 Consultation

Consultation for this HMP has involved:

An inception meeting with PM&C stakeholders for overall project
Consultation with onsite House Manager
Inception meeting and on-site field inspection with an Indigenous stakeholder relating to Indigenous heritage
Progress meetings with PM&C, including during site visits.

AECOM consulted with the Indigenous stakeholder groups and representatives outlined in Table 1‑8. The consultation list was derived by writing to agencies, which included Heritage NSW, the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, the Registrar of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, the National Native Title Tribunal, Native Title Services Corporation Limited, local council and the catchment management authority, requesting contact details for any relevant Aboriginal groups or individuals. An email inviting expressions of interest and containing summary information on the project was sent to all Aboriginal persons and organisations identified by the regulatory agencies and a total of 16 registrations resulted. Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council cultural officer and archaeologist Rowena Welsh-Jarrett attended the site inspection of Kirribilli House. This was due to security issues necessitating a small core field team for site works. It was reasoned that as the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council was a representative body that had been involved in previous inspections at Kirribilli House, they were the most appropriate group to attend.

Details of the consultation process and Indigenous values are included in Appendix J.
