Permitted Action Schedules
The Permitted Action Schedules provide detailed
guidelines on how permitted actions are to be
undertaken. Permitted actions are those actions
which if carried out according to the Permitted Action
Schedule, will have no adverse impact on the heritage
values and therefore do not require formal action
assessment and approval. Formal assessment and
approval has been deemed granted for Permitted
Action Schedules under this plan. In other words, most
routine or well defined and planned actions that have
been developed and refined for the place have been
assessed for their ability to comply with the policies
of this plan and their impact on the heritage value
and documented as permitted in these schedules. In
some cases a new methodology for an action has been
developed to improve compliance with the plan. The
Permitted Action Schedules provide a mechanism for
implementing the policies and zone objectives set out
in this plan.
The Permitted Action Schedules provide guidance
for new staff and contractors and a way of reinforcing
appropriate heritage management practice during daily
or regular activities for existing staff and contractors.
Any proposed action that is not outlined in a Permitted
Action Schedule must be referred through a proposed
action form for approval.
New Permitted Action Schedules may be added to
this plan following formal assessment and approval
by a delegate under this plan. The Permitted Action
Schedules are detailed in Part C, Chapter 9.
The Heritage Management Plan Desktop
Interactive
In addition to the hard copy version of the Heritage
Management Plan, a desktop interactive version is also
available for staff and approved users. This desktop
interactive is linked electronically to the
Old Parliament House collection and building database
and other key documents. These links will assist users
to access current relevant information for the day-today
management of the Place. Users can navigate
through the place via maps of each floor which show
the zones; associated links will always be accessible
to the side of the map. From this point, it is possible to
access parts of the Heritage Management Plan or other
relevant documents to:
• find out if a proposed action is permitted in a
particular zone through the Permitted Action
Schedules
• complete an Action Proposal Form
• find an object in the Movable Heritage Zone
• find information in related documents such as
the Old Parliament House Corporate Plan, or
Interpretation Plan; and
• look up specific sections of the Heritage
Management Plan such as the Policies and Strategies
or the Implementation Plan.
Figure 17 shows the links available through the
interactive.
