1) Reminder: NSW Heritage Act
Review
Australia ICOMOS has been invited to make a submission to the
NSW Heritage Act Review Panel.The Panel will be calling for public
submissions shortly. Following the close of submissions, the Panel will
formulate a discussion paper for the Minister’s consideration.The time
frame for input prior to the discussion paper is 6 weeks.
The ICOMOS submission will be compiled by NSW members of the Executive
Committee. We would be interested to hear not only from NSW members, but
members in other states who have experience of the NSW system and how it
compares with those elsewhere.
Australia ICOMOS is inviting members to have their say on the review of
the NSW Heritage Act and its relationship to other pertinent Acts, and
heritage matters at both State and local levels. If you would like to
assist in formulating the Australia ICOMOS submission, the Executive
Committee would appreciate receiving your e-replies by Sunday
16th September.Please send your
comments to Sue Jackson-Stepowski at
stepowsk@tpg.com.au. Members are of
course welcome to make submissions to the Panel independently.
The terms of reference for the Panel are as follows:
Undertake a review of the Heritage Act and its operations and make
recommendations to reform and update administrative and legislative
provisions.
The review should particularly focus on [but not limited to] the
following:
1. Duplicative and overlapping provisions with other legislation
[including at the national level]
2. Strengthening the integration of heritage provisions with the
Environmental Planning and Assessment Act [both at the plan making and
development control levels]
3. State heritage provisions and practice, including but not limited
to:
(a) improvements that can be made to the listing process;
(b) alternatives to the listing process [eg heritage agreements];
(c) the public benefit of outcomes;
(d) the test for achieving State heritage status;
(e) the role of the property owner or stakeholders and appeal
rights;
(f) the approval process for alterations to items on the SHR, including
the
rights of property owners and stakeholders; and
(g) resource and time efficiency.
4. The functions and constitution of the Heritage Council.
5. Consideration of local heritage processes and whether they warrant
improvement.

2) Survey: Cultural Heritage and the
Impacts of Climate Change
Australia ICOMOS Survey of heritage research and investigations
related to Climate Change and Cultural Heritage
Recently in conjunction with the Extreme Heritage Conference,
Australia ICOMOS held a symposium and a public forum on Heritage and
Climate Change. In the course of organizing these events it became
obvious that there were no concerted programs of research and or
assessment being undertaken by research institutions or governments into
this issue. However it seems that there was a range of projects being
undertaken by individuals and organizations that had relevance.
Australia ICOMOS is keen to assess Australia’s level of preparedness in
relation to this issue and develop a role in promoting effective research
and investigation into both the potential impacts of Climate Change on
our cultural heritage and their remediation. We have developed a very
brief questionnaire as a first step in collating data on the range of
projects being undertaken which are directly or indirectly relevant to
the identification, assessment or mitigation of the impact of climate
change on cultural heritage. Ultimately we would like to collate data on
this topic data relevant to heritage conservation disciplines, on studies
and research relevant to the likely impact of global climate change on
cultural heritage.
This survey is being co-ordinated by Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy. All members
of Australia ICOMOS will soon receive a copy of the survey and it is
hoped that you will fill it out and return it promptly (by
30th September would be
appreciated!!!). It will only take about 5-10mins of your time. In
addition it would be appreciated if you could circulate the questionnaire
to any one that you think might be interested or who has been involved in
relevant work. Completed questionnaires can be forwarded to Susan at fax
0740421380 or scannned and emailed to
susan.mcintyretamwoy@jcu.edu.au.

4) History Week Talk by NSW
Government Architect
Join NSW Government Architect Peter Mould in a discussion
about the role of the Government Architect's Office. Peter examines the
design of public buildings throughout Sydney and NSW over the past two
centuries, and the challenges of adapting these heritage buildings for
contemporary uses. This is an official Historyweek 2007 event.
DATE Friday 21 September 2007 at 3pm
LOCATION Tusculum, 3 Manning Street, Potts Point, 2011, Sydney
CONTACT Laila Ellmoos 9372 8492 or Laila.Ellmoos@commerce.nsw.gov.au for
details & bookings.
COST: Free
Governor Lachlan Macquarie appointed emancipist Francis Greenway as NSW’s
inaugural Colonial Architect in 1816. Greenway was responsible for the
design of some of the most significant public buildings in NSW, including
the Hyde Park Barracks and the Conservatorium of Music. Macquarie’s
decision to appoint a Colonial Architect would prove to be a foresighted
one, and would lead to the formation of the Colonial Architect’s Branch
within the Department of Public Works in 1856.
Today, the NSW Government Architect’s Office continues the almost 200
year old legacy of designing and overseeing the construction of public
buildings throughout Sydney and NSW. These include courthouses,
libraries, hospitals, gaols and schools. The Government Architect’s
Office is also charged with the responsibility of ensuring the ongoing
life of those public buildings designed and built in the 19th and 20th
centuries. In this talk for History Week 2007, the NSW Government
Architect Peter Mould will discuss the role of the Government Architect's
Office in designing public buildings throughout Sydney and NSW over the
past two centuries, and the challenges of adapting these buildings for
contemporary uses.

5) History Week : Friends of Callan
Park - Forum
Forum ~~ Callan Park’s Artistic Legacy
3 artistic responses to Callan Park for History Week
THIS SUNDAY ~~ 16 September2007
2 4 pm NSW Writers’ Centre
The very name CALLAN PARK provokes different responses: mystery,
contention, respite, danger and safety. This seminar explores ways
in which artists have responded to Callan Park photographing its
landscape and structures; harvesting plant material to dye cloth and
threads to stitch stories; and construct ideas about breaking down the
walls.
Jill Brown: Director/Performance Lecturer at University of
Western Sydney, discusses her role as performance maker and in particular
the impact of Callan Park on her recent work.
Anne
Ferran: is a visual artist, writer and academic at SCA (Sydney
College of the Arts) within Callan Park. Anne will talk about her
exhibition INSULA held at SCA Gallery in 2003. This work was based on a
small archive of photographs of unidentified psychiatric patients, taken
in the 1940s at a Sydney hospital. Ferran describes her work as “like a
second or shadow archive, intended as a reproach for the complete
disappearance of names and life histories, and an attempt to show the
images in a more sympathetic light”.
Emma
Rowden: is a Sydney based architect who will speak about her recent
project titled - reconfiguring the wall - a user’s guide.
Callan Park’s future use lays in limbo. Most of the buildings are in
advanced states of decay and many are of high heritage significance. The
future uses of the site cannot be separated from the cacophony of
disparate voices that exist on the site.
Emma’s design pulls the boundary wall on Darling Street into the site
forming two buildings a new facility on site. One is designed as a
hospitality management training school, whose staff and student
employment philosophy is considerate of the needs of consumers of mental
health services. The larger building, the health retreat, staffed by the
school’s graduates, is open to the public, and would also set aside rooms
for consumers of mental health services.

6) Reconstruction over Ruins:
Arguments for and against the rebuilding of Dresden’s
Frauenkirche
Seminar:
DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific
Thursday 20 th September
from 4:30pm
Reconstruction over Ruins: Arguments for and against the rebuilding of
Dresden’s Frauenkirche
Presenter: Tony Joel, Associate Lecturer in History, Deakin
University
Prior to its destruction in February 1945, Dresden’s Frauenkirche, or
Church of Our Lady, had been widely considered German Protestantism’s
most important architectural achievement.
In the immediate postwar period it was hoped, indeed expected, the
Frauenkirche would be rebuilt as soon as possible. Disinterest from both
Church and State authorities, however, meant that unlike other landmark
buildings such as the Zwinger the Frauenkirche remained in
ruins.
In order to facilitate possible rebuilding and prevent the site from
being redeveloped, for more than four decades Dresden’s Denkmalpflege
Institut (Institute for the Preservation of Historic and Cultural
Monuments) continued to guard over the Frauenkirche ruins as its most
treasured possession. During this time, what was left of the church - a
mountain of rubble framed by two wall stumps still standing - effectively
took on a life of its own as the site increasingly came to serve as an
arresting antiwar memorial.
Immediately following Germany’s reunification, a local citizen’s
initiative launched an international appeal for help to rebuild Dresden’s
Frauenkirche. The appeal proved overwhelmingly popular and ultimately
successful. Nevertheless, the idea of reconstructing the Frauenkirche met
with staunch criticism from some quarters that argued it would be in
breach of the Venice Charter. Most notably, Germany’s national society of
monument preservation, the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz, refused to
support the rebuilding project on the grounds that it could only be
realised at the expense of the ruins, which it was argued deserved
preservation in their own right as an antiwar memorial.
The paper will provide an overview of: the historical significance of the
Frauenkirche for Dresden and its special meaning for Dresdeners; initial
postwar motivations for preserving the ruins and the Frauenkirche site;
the ruins’ increasing identification as an important antiwar memorial;
the arguments for and against rebuilding; and the reconstruction process
based on anastylosis.
There is no entry charge and everyone is welcome

8) ICOMOS Forthcoming
Conferences
The 16th ICOMOS General Assembly will be held in Quebec,
Canada from 29th September to 4th October 2008. Because many
Australia ICOMOS members are expected to attend, there will not be an
Australia ICOMOS annual conference in 2008. Instead Australia ICOMOS is
supporting a symposium on Intangible Heritage organised by the National
Trust of Australia (Vic) in association with Deakin University's Cultural
Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific to be held in Melbourne from 1st
to 2nd July 2008. A range of leading national and international
speakers will be invited. Tours will be arranged for 3rd July.
These will be organised to complement the 25th annual Society of
Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ) conference to
be held at Deakin University, Geelong from 3rd to 6th July. The theme of
the conference will be around ‘History and Practice’, bringing together
historians, theoreticians and heritage practitioners to celebrate the
Society’s twenty-fifth anniversary. A call for papers will be made after
the 2007 SAHANZ Conference ‘Panorama to Paradise’ to be held in Adelaide
from 21st - 24th September. Australia ICOMOS members will be advised and
able to submit abstracts.
The 2009 annual Australia ICOMOS conference will be held in Sydney in
July. The theme will be ‘Twentieth Century Heritage’ and the
conference partners will be DOCOMOMO, UIA, mAAN, APT, the Art Deco
Society and the Walter Burley Griffin Society. The ICOMOS
International Scientific Committee on Twentieth Century Heritage will be
meeting in Sydney as part of this conference. Conference and
meeting enquiries to Sheridan Burke at
Sheridanb@gml.com.au
The 2010 Annual Australia ICOMOS Conference is tentatively
planned for Broken Hill in November with Industrial Heritage as the
theme. It is hoped that appropriate ICOMOS ISC meetings can be arranged
to coincide with each of the conferences.

10) News from Heritage
Tasmania
National heritage-listing for Tasmanian convict sites
Three of Tasmania’s key convict sites have joined Port Arthur on the
National Heritage List. Most people are aware of Port Arthur’s rich
history dating back to 1830, and now the nearby Coal Mines site has also
been added to the list because it demonstrates the severity of punishment
that could be metered out to recalcitrant convicts.
A scattered and disappearing tourism cave heritage
When, if ever, does graffiti become an historic or cultural artefact?
That was a challenging question posed by Tasmanian historian, Dr Nic
Haygarth, at Heritage Tasmania’s July lunchtime seminar. The talk that
followed provided a fascinating insight into the history of tourism cave
heritage in Tasmania. Dr Haygarth said caving has long been a
recreational and tourist activity for Tasmanians and visitors. The
earliest accounts of a recreational visit to a karst cave dates from the
1840s and the earliest found graffiti dates back to the 1850s from Wet
Cave, Mole Creek.
Two Tasmanian huts heritage-listed
Two humble huts of great historic heritage importance have been
entered in the Tasmanian Heritage Register. Churchills Hut, near Maydena,
used to trap Tasmanian tigers, and the Harefield Prisoner of War Hut at
Wattle Hill, both have great importance in Tasmanias historic and
cultural heritage. Churchills Hut is one of the few surviving low country
trappers’ huts remaining in Tasmania. The trapping of animals for their
skins was work commonly undertaken by semi-skilled rural men to make a
seasonal living.
Heritage Conservation Funding Program funding round opens
The latest round of the Heritage Conservation Funding Program, which
is funded by the Tasmanian Government and administered by the Tasmanian
Heritage Council, opened last weekend. The program provides funding for
owners of heritage listed properties to undertake urgent and essential
works. Urgent and essential works refers to those works which are
absolutely necessary and require immediate action to prevent major and
irreversible loss, or further degradation of the heritage values of a
place. The program provides a maximum grant of $25,000 which is available
as a one-third contribution of the total project cost. In this
funding-round a total $150,000 is available.
Application forms are available by contacting Heritage Tasmania or from
their website at
www.heritage.tas.gov.au.
Applicants seeking further information about the funding round can
contact Heritage Tasmania on 1300 850 332 for the cost of a local call,
or via email at
enquiries@heritage.tas.gov.au.
Become an accredited dry stone waller
For the first time, Tasmanians have the opportunity to receive
international accreditation as a dry stone waller. Geoff Duggan,
Australia’s only Master Craftsman Dry Stone Waller qualified to do
assessments, will run the one-day accreditation course in November this
year. This amazing opportunity will be made possible through the generous
sponsorship of Heritage Tasmania and Southern Midlands Council and
members of the Dry Stone Walls Association of Australia
(www.dswaa.org.au
). The accreditation will be provided in Oatlands and will take place on
Saturday the 17th November. Numbers are limited. Interested people
are asked to leave their contact details with the Heritage Highway
Tourism Centre in Oatlands. Phone: 6254 1212, fax: 6254 1467 or email:
tourism@southernmidlands.tas.gov.au.
Further information and an application form will then be forwarded.
Please seek information quickly as there is a lengthy process to follow
through the Dry Stone Walls Association of England to gain the
international accreditation.
Call for Papers: Tenth Docomomo International conference
13-20 September 2008, Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Dutch chapter of Docomomo is hosting the 10th International Docomomo
Conference. Docomomo invites architects, researchers, historians and
other parties involved in the processes of preservation, conservation,
renovation and transformation of modern buildings to investigate the
paradox of the modern monument and to reflect on the challenges and
dilemmas of change and continuity. Those interested in presenting a paper
or case study should submit an abstract before 15 October 2007. for more
information:

Blending the old with the new: designs with heritage in
mind
There are few more challenging design problems for architects than
responding to an existing building or designing within a heritage
context. This is especially true when there is a perception that the
controls which come into play may prevent the creation of the heritage of
tomorrow.
The Royal Australian Institute of Architects, with sponsorship from the
Tasmanian Heritage Council, are presenting a seminar to show how
interstate and Tasmanian architects have responded to the challenges and
produced high quality and innovative architecture which successfully
blends the old and the new. In doing so, an evolving built environment is
created which benefits the community at large. Peter Mallet from Six
Degrees, Peter Walker from Morris-Nunn and Associates and Ian Boersma and
Chris Bonner from Heritage Tasmania will discuss the heritage issues
facing specific projects
