	Up-to-Date Store, Coolamon, New South Wales Up -to-date Store, Coolamon, New South Wales This is an example of objectives written in the form of a conservation policy. This conservation policy appears in the management plan for a historic building in a small country town. The store is a good and intact example of a Federation style country general store built in 1909 to service a widespread rural farming community. In the plan, the policy follows the statement of significance. Note that the policy sets a framework to guide future management and use. Applying the framework to the place in practice is part of developing strategies and actions.   Policy 1 - The conservation approach The Up-To-Date Store will be conserved by processes of preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation (as defined in the Burra Charter), and as specified in policies included in this plan. The Burra Charter will also be adopted as the basis for conservation processes and actions. The place to which this policy applies includes the masonry store building, the skillion extension, the northern and north-western sheds, the yard and Cowabbie Street frontage north of the store. The statement of significance set out at section 3.2 will be adopted as the main basis for management of the Up-To-Date Store. A primary objective of management will be the retention and conservation of the identified significance of the place. These values are reflected in the existing room spaces within the masonry store building, together with their finishes, fittings and furniture. These include significant features such as shelving, benches, counters, verandahs, window display cases and the Lamson Cash Carrier. A key direction of this policy is to implement a regular maintenance regime, to slow deterioration and prevent failure of elements of the building.   Policy 2 - Establishment of a management regime Coolamon Shire Council should establish a management structure for the long term conservation and day-to-day management of the Up-To-Date Store. A preferred approach would be to formalise the current Up-To-Date Store Committee or similar body as the management committee. It should have representation of Council, local conservation and community bodies with an interest in the store, and individuals with particular skills that would help in conservation and management decision-making. If the store is subject to a lease, the lessee should be represented on the Committee. The Committee will advise the nominated manager of the store, being the appropriate member of Council staff.   Policy 3 - New Uses New uses will be limited to those that are compatible with the conservation of the significance of the store, and which do not require inappropriate modification of the fabric such as by the insertion of substantial new services. Compatible uses for the store building will be ones that can be implemented with: no substantial alteration to, or new major penetrations of, the brick walls no removal or substantial alteration of the roof structure, timber lining or exposed trusses, except to allow recladding of the roof and the reinstatement of skylights continued use of the existing timber floor in its exposed form, unless monitoring of wear reveals such exposed use is impeding conservation no new walls or partitioning the retention of counters, benches and shelving in their original locations, and visible to visitors the potential reconstruction of shelving, benches and counters to replace those removed from the store. .....
