5) NSW to Say Thank You to Firefighters

 

Governor’s Bushfire Fundraiser Sunday 8 March

 

Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, Governor of New South Wales and Sir Nicholas Shehadie AC OBE will host a special Governor’s Open Day at Government House on Sunday 8 March from 10am to 4pm to raise funds for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal and to thank our firefighters for the support they provided.

 

As part of the event, the Governor will plant a specially named Firefighter’s Rose Bush at 1pm in the Government House gardens with NSW Fire Brigades Commissioner Greg Mullins and NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.

 

Like all Australians, Professor Bashir has been extremely moved by the images we’ve seen over the past few weeks; not only the devastation caused by the bushfires in Victoria, but the heroism of our firefighters who have helped to save countless lives.

 

Professor Bashir said she wanted to give the people of NSW an opportunity to say thank you to our firefighters and to continue the work of raising funds for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

 

“The word hero is often used in the media these days, but in the last few weeks, we’ve seen the true definition of what a hero is in our firefighters.

 

“In the face of this terrible tragedy, Sir Nicholas and I want to acknowledge our firefighters, who at short notice, volunteered their services and went to Victoria to provide vital replacement crews.

 

“The people of NSW have made it clear to me just how appreciative they are of our firefighters, the important work they do and their incredible courage.

 

“There has been such wonderful support for the families and communities who have lost loved ones , but there is still so much more to be done and so many families who need our help.

 

“We so often tend to compare Victoria and New South Wales, whether it be in the sporting or cultural arenas, but in the last few weeks we’ve seen that when tragedy strikes, borders are irrelevant and it is the Australian spirit that matters. The Open Day on 8 March is an opportunity to recognise the heroism of our firefighters, but also the entire New South Wales response to the Victorian bushfires,” Professor Bashir said.

 

A sausage sizzle and live entertainment are planned for the Governor’s Open Day which is being coordinated by the Historic Houses Trust with the help of several organisations under the Governor’s patronage. There will also be the chance to meet firefighters and see fire engines on display.

 

Visitors will have access to the State Rooms of Government House which was completed in 1845 and hosts more than 200 official events each year for visiting dignitaries to NSW.

 

Entry to the Governor’s Open Day at Government House, Macquarie St, Sydney on Sunday 8 March 10am – 4pm is by $10 donation or $5 concession and children under 12yrs are free.

6) Our Heritage at Risk – call for nominations

 

Nominations are currently being accepted by the Australian National Trusts for their Our heritage at Risk program. Nominations close on World Heritage Day on 18 April and the process is described on the website: www.heritageatrisk.org.au. It is a two tiered system with State and Territories releasing Heritage at risk lists in July and the National Top Ten List being released in October or November at a state or national capital city.

 

The Australian Council of National Trusts, a not-for profit organisation, is the peak body representing the eight State and Territory National Trusts on behalf of their 80,000 members on national and international heritage matters. Their vision is for Australia to be a nation that celebrates and conserves its cultural, Indigenous and natural heritage for present and future generations, and their purpose to achieve this vision is through advocacy, research and promotion.

 

Our Heritage at Risk is the major advocacy program of the Australian National Trusts. It includes moveable and intangible heritage, natural and built, industrial, archaeological, indigenous and other cultural heritage at risk through a number of threatening processes.

7) News from ICOMOS International Secretariat

 

Communiqué: New ICOMOS Vice President

 

At the Executive Committee meeting held in Paris on 6th February, Mr Olivier Poisson, ICOMOS Vice President and Vice President of ICOMOS France, announced that he would not be able to fill the electoral mandate to which he was elected at the General Assembly in Quebec last year. Mr Poisson cited personal reasons for presenting his resignation and offered the Executive Committee full assurances that he will remain a member of ICOMOS.

 

While respecting Mr Poisson's decision, ICOMOS President Gustavo Araoz expressed great regret at his departure, and the entire Executive Committee expressed its unanimous appreciation for Mr Poisson's short but dedicated service to ICOMOS.

 

In accordance with Article 10 of the ICOMOS Statutes, the Committee moved decisively to fill the gap created by Mr Poisson's departure from the Bureau by co-opting Mr Wilfried Lipp of Austria as Vice President. At the elections in Quebec, Mr Lipp received the highest number of votes following Mr Poisson, and was elected to the Executive Committee. Mr Lipp, who also serves as President of ICOMOS Austria, graciously accepted the added responsibilities, which will include coordination of the European National Committees. 

 

In turn, the position vacated in the Executive Committee by Mr Lipp’s elevation to the Bureau was filled through the unanimously endorsed co-option of Mr Benjamin Mouton, former President of ICOMOS France. The appointment, which entered into effect immediately, was accepted by Mr Mouton, whose dedication and service to ICOMOS is well known internationally. The Executive Committee expressed its appreciation to Mr Mouton for his willingness to serve, and stated that it looks forward to working with him for the remainder of this triennium.
