52 Old Parliament House and Curtilage Heritage Management Plan 2008–2013
Conservation Approach
1.8
Conserving the
layered history of
Old Parliament
House
1.8.1 Wherever possible the conservation of one ‘layer’ of
the Old Parliament House story should not compromise the
conservation and interpretation of other ‘layers’. Maintenance
or capital work must be undertaken in accordance with the
identified heritage values of the layers.
1.8.2 Where maintenance or capital work or physical
intervention in the building has the potential to expose earlier,
hidden layers of fabric, this work will be assessed using the
procedures in this Heritage Management Plan.
1.8.3 Such Actions may be approved with appropriate
conditions which ensure that:
a the work is undertaken by an appropriate person; and
b the heritage value of the newly revealed fabric is assessed
and is subsequently managed in line with this Heritage
Management Plan.
