Site Schedule
The Site Schedule (Vol. 3 Appendix) lists some contributory and all of the known individually important sites in the city, their approximate construction dates, wall materials, heritage value (A-E) and remarks on external integrity, colours, landscape and detailing. The schedule should be used to find the era in which a site was created and hence which of the following restoration guideline headings to apply ie. Early Victorian, late Victorian, Edwardian, Bungalow Era, and styles of the 1930s-50s.

Significant Sites
Most individually significant sites (A, B and some C heritage value) in the municipality have been investigated in detail, in Volume Three of the Frankston heritage study. Restoration implications for each of these are contained in the External Integrity section of the citation where the loss or addition of major elements or finishes have been noted.

Restoration Policy
In all cases of fundamental (potentially irreversible) re-instatement of existing original elements (ie. verandahs) every effort should be made to find evidence of the exact form and detail of the element. This is to ensure that the reasons for encouraging restoration are not frustrated by incorrect restoration of non-original elements.

Typical detail elements, such as in the reinstatement of a common or mass produced element like a verandah frieze or front fence, should be adopted only after an attempt to find what the original was like. Its reinstatement should be done in a way which does not alter the known original fabric and which may be removed without damage. In the case of important buildings (A, B, C value): no restoration should proceed without sufficient evidence of the original state.

Historical Sites:
Care should be taken with historically important sites that the evidence of the significant historical event or resident is not removed by restring to another less significant (earlier) period, although this may have been the site's original state.
