The proposed nomination of a property to the World Heritage List requires the preparation of comprehensive nomination documentation including a management plan for the property. Consultation will take place with the relevant stakeholders including local communities in the preparation of this documentation for future nominations. The Management Plan outlines the framework for the property as regards its management, conservation, presentation, visitor management, and the legislative provisions for the protection of the Outstanding Universal Value of the property. The Plan also sets out the arrangements for liaison with the local community and other stakeholders in order to facilitate its implementation.
