9 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 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 follow in this chapter.
The Permitted Action Schedules include:
■■Maintenance (for example painting)
■■Housekeeping (for example cleaning furniture)
■■Events and Tourism (for example conferences)
■■Education (for example school groups)
■■Interpretation and Exhibition (for example recreation)
