Retaining associations and meaning 20 Retaining associations and meaning 30

1 Maintenance: the continuous protective care of the biological diversity and geodiversity of a place. It is different from repair, which involves restoration and reinstatement. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

2 Protection: taking care of a place by maintenance and by managing impacts to ensure that natural significance is retained. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

3 Monitoring: the ongoing review, evaluation and assessment to detect changes in condition of the integrity of a place, with reference to a baseline condition.

4 Preservation: maintaining the biodiversity and/or an ecosystem of a place at the existing stage of succession or maintaining existing geodiversity. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

5 Restoration: returning existing habitats to a known past state or to an approximation of the natural condition by repairing degradation, by removing introduced species, or by reinstatement. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

6 Modification: altering a place to suit proposed uses that are compatible with the natural significance of the place. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

7 Regeneration: the recovery of natural integrity following disturbance or degradation. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

8 Enhancement: the introduction to a place of additional individuals of one or more organisms, species or elements of habitat or geodiversity that naturally exist there. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

9 Reinstatement: to introduce to a place one or more species or elements of habitat or geodiversity that are known to have existed there naturally at a previous time but that can no longer be found at that place. (Australian Natural Heritage Charter 1997)

10 Maintenance: the continuous protective care of the cultural value of a place. It may relate to the maintenance of oral and/or customary tradition associated with a place or to the fabric, contents and setting of a place. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

11 Protection: taking care of a place by maintenance and by managing impacts to ensure that significance is retained.

12 Monitoring: the ongoing review, evaluation and assessment to detect changes in condition of the integrity of a place, with reference to a baseline condition.

13 Preservation: maintaining the fabric of a place in its existing state and retarding or slowing deterioration. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

14 Restoration: returning the existing fabric of a place to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

15 Reconstruction: returning a place to a known earlier state and is distinguished by the introduction of material (old or new) into the fabric. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

16 Renewal: any action which renews, or revitalises, the cultural significance of the place. Sometimes these actions may affect the fabric or the physical aspects of the place. This can be non-physical renewal that can occur as a result of activities which do not alter the fabric; for example, by the telling of new stories, or by the use of the site for ceremonies. On the other hand, physical renewal means altering the fabric (using new or old material) in order to maintain the cultural significance of a place. For art sites this includes re-marking and embellishment, new-marking and superimposition. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

17 Adaptation: modifying a place to suit proposed compatible uses. (Draft Guidelines for the Protection, Management and Use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Places, 1997)

18 Interpretation: all the way of presenting the cultural significance of a place (The Burra Charter 1999)

19 Conserving use: continuing, modifying or reinstating a significant use may be appropriate and preferred forms of conservation (The Burra Charter 1999)

20 Retaining associations and meanings: significant associations between people and a place should be respected, retained and not obscured. Opportunities for the interpretation, commemoration and celebration of these associations should be investigated and implemented. Significant meanings, including spiritual values, of a place should be respected. Opportunities for the continuation or revival of these meanings should be investigated and implemented (The Burra Charter 1999)

21 Maintenance: the continuous protective care of the fabric, contents and setting of a place, and is to be distinguished from repair. Repair involves restoration or reconstruction and it should be treated accordingly. (The Burra Charter 1999)

22 Protection: taking care of a place by maintenance and by managing impacts to ensure that significance is retained.

23 Monitoring: the ongoing review, evaluation and assessment to detect changes in condition of the integrity of a place, with reference to a baseline condition.

24 Preservation: maintaining the fabric of a place in its existing state and retarding deterioration. (The Burra Charter 1999)

25 Restoration: returning the existing fabric of a place to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material. (The Burra Charter 1999)

26 Reconstruction: returning a place as nearly as possible to a known earlier state and is distinguished from restoration by the introduction of new material into the fabric. (The Burra Charter 1999)

27 Adaptation: modifying a place to suit the existing use of a proposed use. (The Burra Charter 1999)

28 Interpretation: all the way of presenting the cultural significance of a place (The Burra Charter 1999)

29 Conserving use: continuing, modifying or reinstating a significant use may be appropriate and preferred forms of conservation (The Burra Charter 1999)

30 Retaining associations and meanings: significant associations between people and a place should be respected, retained and not obscured. Opportunities for the interpretation, commemoration and celebration of these associations should be investigated and implemented. Significant meanings, including spiritual values, of a place should be respected. Opportunities for the continuation or revival of these meanings should be investigated and implemented (The Burra Charter 1999)
