How to use this plan
The Old Parliament House Heritage Management Plan is an interactive decision making tool to assist managers to
make informed decisions about potential use, actions and activities in and on the place. The plan provides sound
evidence and analysis of the heritage values, core principles and clear legislative requirements, which in turn inform
the policies. The policies are the cornerstone of the document. They determine the way Old Parliament House will
conserve, record, interpret, use, change, monitor, communicate and research the heritage values.
The Old Parliament House Heritage Management Plan is an interactive computer based resource and tool for users to
make informed proposals for potential use, actions and activities in and on the place. This tool navigates through the
zones which reflect the mapped values of the place and the policies.
In addition to encouraging an understanding of the heritage values and policies, the interactive computerised version of
the Heritage Management Plan provides a guide for the user through the process required to undertake an action.
A hard copy is also available. Figure 2 shows how various sections of the plan may be used by different groups.
