The Breaksea Island heritage restoration and tourism development project is a multi-staged strategic project which aims to fully restore the Breaksea Island heritage precinct and see it developed, in the longer term as a niche eco-tourism, conservation and community education facility. The project is a component of GSDC's maritime heritage tourism development strategy and is a response to the findings of the Vancouver Waterways study (2000), commissioned by GSDC in partnership with the City of Albany, the Albany Port Authority and the then Department of Transport. The Commission believes Albany and the South Coast has a competitive advantage not only in its natural assets but also in its maritime heritage. However this potential is yet to be fully realized. This project is consistent with GSDC investment in a number of tourism projects that aim to develop and coordinate the iconic potential of the Albany maritime heritage theme. The Breaksea Island Lighthouse complex has considerable heritage value, is an important example of Albany's extensive maritime history, and contributes to the ongoing significance of Albany and its environs as a prominent historic region. The buildings appear on both the State and National Registers of Heritage Places and are considered 'rare' as a complex of structures. Stage 1 will bring together a team of collaborators consisting of trade professionals, community volunteers and government agencies, to carry out emergency works to arrest the rapid deterioration of the buildings. The Heritage Council WA recognizes the importance of the initiative and has issued an emergency works permit in the absence of a heritage plan. The proposed key development stages include: · Stage 1 (current project) - emergency restoration works. Replacement of roofs and verandahs (to heritage standard) of two of the three buildings which form the Breaksea Island lighthouse complex, and stabilization of the third cottage. · Stage 2 - research and production of a combined heritage conservation plan, management plan and cultural tourism development plan. · Stage 3 - full restoration of the original access track, the jetty landing and loading apparatus to heritage standard where possible. · Stage 4 - full restoration and fit-out of all three heritage buildings as a facility for niche eco-tourism, and community education (e.g. research groups). Similar island-based eco-tourism developments in New Zealand and the east coast of Australia are currently being researched as best practice models. PROJECT PARTNERS The major project partners are the Great Southern Development Commission (GSDC) and the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), who are contributing both cash and in-kind. Secondary partners are Albany Port Authority, David Heaver and Associates, the Forest Products Commission, and the Albany Maritime Foundation Inc. PROJECT BUDGET The project budget for Stage 1 is around $120,000 plus in-kind. Resources for this multi-partnership project have been secured through State government grants, private businesses and community individuals. Key contributors consist of: · GSDC - $75,000 plus in-kind · CALM - $25,000 plus in-kind · David Heaver and Associates - $10,000 in-kind TIMELINE Preparatory work commenced on site in early 2005. Stage 1 building works will commence later in the year (due to current labour shortages), and will be completed in early 2006. Work is also underway to secure resources for Stage 2.

The buildings appear on both the State and National Registers of Heritage Places and are considered 'rare' as a complex of structures. Stage 1 will bring together a team of collaborators consisting of trade professionals, community volunteers and government agencies, to carry out emergency works to arrest the rapid deterioration of the buildings. The Heritage Council WA recognizes the importance of the initiative and has issued an emergency works permit in the absence of a heritage plan. The proposed key development stages include: · Stage 1 (current project) - emergency restoration works. Replacement of roofs and verandahs (to heritage standard) of two of the three buildings which form the Breaksea Island lighthouse complex, and stabilization of the third cottage. · Stage 2 - research and production of a combined heritage conservation plan, management plan and cultural tourism development plan. · Stage 3 - full restoration of the original access track, the jetty landing and loading apparatus to heritage standard where possible. · Stage 4 - full restoration and fit-out of all three heritage buildings as a facility for niche eco-tourism, and community education (e.g. research groups). Similar island-based eco-tourism developments in New Zealand and the east coast of Australia are currently being researched as best practice models. PROJECT PARTNERS The major project partners are the Great Southern Development Commission (GSDC) and the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), who are contributing both cash and in-kind. Secondary partners are Albany Port Authority, David Heaver and Associates, the Forest Products Commission, and the Albany Maritime Foundation Inc. PROJECT BUDGET The project budget for Stage 1 is around $120,000 plus in-kind. Resources for this multi-partnership project have been secured through State government grants, private businesses and community individuals. Key contributors consist of: · GSDC - $75,000 plus in-kind · CALM - $25,000 plus in-kind · David Heaver and Associates - $10,000 in-kind TIMELINE Preparatory work commenced on site in early 2005. Stage 1 building works will commence later in the year (due to current labour shortages), and will be completed in early 2006. Work is also underway to secure resources for Stage 2.
