Policy 6 – The cultural significance of the lightstation will be the basis for deciding how to manage it.
AMSA’s lease encompasses land within a State Nature Reserve and gazetted Aboriginal Place, and the heritage, natural and cultural significance of the place are to be conserved. This heritage management plan includes relevant background information to support this policy (See Section 3. History).
Implementation strategy:
• Conserve the lightstation to protect its heritage
values and cultural and natural significance.
• When possible, strive to maintain the original
fabric of the lightstation.
• Use the Burra Charter as the primary guide for
the treatment of fabric.
• Engage appropriately qualified heritage consultants when making decisions regarding impact on heritage values.
• Assess impacts on the heritage values of the place when considering proposed alterations or adaptations.
• Assess impacts on the cultural and natural values of the Nature Reserve and gazetted Aboriginal Place when considering proposed alterations or adapations.
