Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter

(1999 amendment)Article 15.4 (Change) - The contributions of all aspects of cultural 

significance of a place should be respected. If a place includes fabric, uses, associations or meanings of different periods, or different aspects of cultural significance, emphasising or interpreting one period or aspect at the expense of another can only be justified when what is left out, removed or diminished is of slight cultural significance and that which is emphasised or interpreted is of much greater cultural significance .

Article 20.1 (Reconstruction) - Reconstruction is appropriate only where a place is incomplete through damage or alteration, and only where there is sufficient evidence to reproduce an earlier state of the fabric.

Article 25 (Interpretation) - The cultural significance of many places is not readily apparent, and should be explained by interpretation.Interpretation should enhance understanding and enjoyment, and be 

culturally appropriate.

Port Arthur Historic Site

Conservation Plan 2000Policy 5.2 (Landscape) - Where existing intrusive elements are 

removed, former landform and topography may be reconstructed,provided that there is sufficient historical and archaeological evidence available. Where such evidence is not available, the physical evidence of the altered landform should remain.

Policy 5.5 (Built Elements) - Missing elements of original fabric may be reconstructed where: • Sufficient information is available (hypothetical reconstruction should 

not occur); and • Reconstruction is considered essential to the conservation of 

original fabric; or • Reconstruction is considered essential for operational purposes and 

is reversible; or • Reconstruction is required for interpretation purposes and is 

reversible.

Port Arthur Historic Site

Landscape Management Plan• Landscape interpretation will aim to enhance the understanding of 

the significance of the Historic Site without over-simplification of the complexities of its historical and contemporary meanings.

• Features which define the arrangement of space within the Historic Site are important (eg. fences, paths, plantings). Where these have 

been lost, consideration of their restoration or reconstruction is warranted.

• Because the Historic Site has been subjected to the loss of historic 

plant and built fabric over time, and changing ideas about the presentation of historic buildings, many significant structures within Mason Cove appear as though afloat within a vast expanse of lawn.While viewed as picturesque by many visitors, this treatment conflicts with and obscures significant meanings.
