60 not missed any detected sites. In addition, previously detected sites are protected from the impact of harvesting operations. Forests NSW contributes to the AHIMS, which records Aboriginal sites found (Table 2-6D). In 2007–2008, Forests NSW did not report on the number of additional aboriginal sites identified in State forests. No sites of Aboriginal significance were reported as destroyed 22 during 2007–2008. DECC historic (non-Indigenous) cultural heritage The number of historic heritage features, including recorded places, artefacts, sites, buildings or other structures, has been reported for all of the FA regions annually from the first year of reporting. Data are sourced from the Historic Heritage Information Management System (HHIMS). A total of 6 326 historic items and places was recorded on-park across all of the regions (Table 2-6E and Figure 2-6E). There has been an increase in the total number of historic places recorded across all the regions since 2007 23 , when 4813 sites were recorded.

Each year, DECC manages major planning, works and maintenance projects to ensure that significant heritage is conserved. In 2007–2008, the Heritage Assets Maintenance Program (HAMP) allocated over $2.06 million to 58 projects at 40 locations (not just in FA regions), comprising 20 heritage planning projects and 36 heritage works projects. These projects included: A significant upgrade of the East Kunderang Homestead (located within the LNE region), which was completed in April 2008. The renovations included two refurbished bathrooms, a separate toilet, kitchen/dining renovations ($142 000) and a water supply upgrade ($10 000). The building is still available for visitor accommodation. The upgrade and refurbishment of Karamea Homestead on the banks of Barnard River in the LNE region, which was completed in June 2008 at a cost of $290 000. The homestead is available for visitor accommodation. The completion of the reconstruction of the original lock-up (circa 1892) at the police station precinct in Dalmorton village in Guy Fawkes River SCA in the UNE region. This project, costing $50 000, included replacing bearers and walls using recycled tallowood. 22 The destruction of sites requires licence approval from DECC and consultation with the relevant local Aboriginal land council. 23 Current to December 2007. NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS AND INTEGRATED FORESTRY OPERATIONS APPROVALS
The following major heritage management plans relevant to the LNE region were endorsed under the Heritage Act 1977 during the 2007–2008 reporting period: An archaeological landscape management plan for Lake Innes Historic Site, endorsed in October 2007. A conservation management plan for the Old Great North Road, endorsed in December 2007. This site was submitted to the Commonwealth Government to form part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage nomination. The Historic Heritage Information Management System (HHIMS) contains information on over 9 000 historic heritage sites (with around two thirds of these being located in FA regions), moveable heritage collections, reports and DECC’s statutory permit delegations under the Heritage Act 1977. HHIMS data is being used to assist in the spread and mapping of DECC assets through the Asset Management System (AMS). Data matching between HHIMS and the AMS is under way across the state. DECC data/information sources, references, further reading In 2004–2005 and 2006–2007 this indicator was reported on for all regions using data from the SoP qualitative assessment so as to align the two reporting processes. A SoP survey did not occur in the 2007–2008 reporting year.
