3. Heritage Values Part A – Context 38 Old Parliament House and Curtilage Heritage Management Plan 2008–2013 Risk analysis Background An analysis of the implications of the risks to the heritage values at Old Parliament House was undertaken as an important early step in the development of the Heritage Management Plan. Consultation was undertaken with a range of internal stakeholders. The views gathered provide different perspectives on the interaction of heritage management, maintenance and works and the promotional needs of the place. These views are synthesised in the Heritage Management Plan. All of the heritage values embodied at Old Parliament House were considered in the risk analysis, including both the values represented in the physical form and fabric of the place, and the values embodied in a less tangible sense, such as the building’s symbolic status. A risk matrix was developed for each of the National Heritage values, with the criteria for identifying the likelihood of each risk provided, together with ratings of the possible consequences (see Appendix H for risk matrix and full risk analysis). It is noteworthy that the risks identified for Old Parliament House tended to fall within an area of the matrix suggesting a generally moderate likelihood of risks occurring but a potential for extremely serious consequences should the risks be realised. This reflects the outstanding heritage values of Old Parliament House. The purpose of the analysis was to identify the constraints operating at Old Parliament House with respect to effective conservation as well as those relating to possible future uses. By identifying the principal threats it was intended that Old Parliament House management could adopt proactive decisionmaking procedures that anticipated threats to heritage, rather than responding to them after the event. The process of identifying the risks also had the effect of stimulating ideas in relation to future opportunities for Old Parliament House management to pursue in relation to the appropriate management of the place’s heritage values. Summary of identified risks The risks to the identified values at Old Parliament House generally fall into two categories: • risks to the fabric and form of the place • risks to the less tangible values of the place. The effects of risks to the fabric and form of the place tend to be measurable. They also tend to be the risks that are more readily identifiable in advance and therefore can be prevented. Examples of these risks include: • fire, flood, theft, vandalism, natural disaster, terrorist attack etc • inappropriate conservation work resulting in damage to heritage fabric • inappropriate physical intervention (such as demolition or unsympathetic addition) of parts of Old Parliament House • inappropriate use and/or inappropriate maintenance resulting in damage to heritage fabric • the slow erosion of values through incremental change, culminating in major impacts on the place • declining budgets and resources resulting in reduced and/or inadequate maintenance and monitoring. The second category of risks relates principally to the less tangible values of Old Parliament House, and the need to ensure its ongoing use and the interpretation of its values to a wide audience. The risks identified in this regard include: • a change of use to all or part of the place, or the carrying out of inappropriate activities (including inappropriate promotions) that results in a diminution of the symbolic values of Old Parliament House or a reduction in public access • the failure to appropriately tell the stories of the place through ill-informed or ineffective interpretation • the disengagement of important stakeholders (such as government and the public) from Old Parliament House as a result of failing to effectively communicate the place’s heritage values or through inadequate consultation • the reduction of Old Parliament House to a sterile and uninteresting environment rather than an active, living and engaging heritage place • a privileging of some phases of the place’s history over others as a result of a failure to appreciate its multi-layered heritage values • a loss of important relationships between spaces, objects and people as a result of a failure to properly appreciate the significant associations at Old Parliament House.
