15. The Heritage Management Interactive

15.1. Background

A digital heritage management interactive has been developed to complement this Heritage Management Plan. The interactive is web-based and collates data from the Heritage Management Plan with data from the collections and building databases.

The interactive enables users to navigate Old Parliament House by clicking on maps of each floor of the building. Each room on the map is linked to data from the collections database, enabling users to access (where recorded) photographs, historical information and information about past actions and alterations. The mapping tool also enables users to see a visual representation of the zones, the Use Plan, and the location of the listed values, including the sensitivity to change for each value.

The interactive also enables users to prepare an Action Proposal Form digitally. In addition to

delivering efficiencies for the administration and management of the actions proposal process, the digital form enables staff to directly input data from the collections database and the management plan into the form.

The interactive is linked to an electronic PDF version of the Heritage Management Plan, facilitating easy reference to the Policies, Permitted Action Schedule and Implementation Plan.
