Australia ICOMOS - Canberra Talk Series

THE FUTURE OF WORLD HERITAGE - REFLECTING ON THE UNESCO CONVENTION

Dr Greg Terrill

 

Australia has a considerable interest in the ongoing viability and effectiveness of the World Heritage Convention.  It therefore launched a proposal for a process to prepare for the 40th anniversary of the Convention in 2012 and the inscription of the 1,000th World Heritage site at about the same time.  This discussion on the future of the Convention is widely seen as the key initiative to have emerged in recent years and has attracted considerable international support.  The Australian sponsored workshop on the future of the Convention, held Paris in February 2009, achieved solid outcomes and has created a key legacy for Australia's term on the World Heritage Committee.

 

Greg Terrill is Assistant Secretary, International Heritage & Policy in the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.  As World Heritage Commissioner, he is the head of Australia's delegation to the World Heritage Committee and directly involved in the deliberations by the Committee on the future of the World Heritage Convention.  Greg will offer his thoughts on the reflection on future of the Convention.

 

Members and the public are welcome.  Refreshments will be available.  This is part of a series of talks organised in Canberra by Australia ICOMOS.

 

Time & Date:  5.00-6.30 pm, Thursday 4 June 2009 - the talk will actually start at 5.30.

Venue:  Barton Room, National Archives of Australia, East Block, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes (enter from Kings Avenue side).

RSVP:  To Duncan Marshall at marsd@ozemail.com.au

4) In memoriam: Michel Parent

 

In memoriam: Michel Parent

President of ICOMOS 1981 to 1987

 

All members of ICOMOS across the globe join me in mourning the death of my predecessor, our esteemed 3rd President, Michel Parent of France. Those members of ICOMOS fortunate enough to have met him and worked with him will remember and cherish his dedication to ICOMOS during our pioneer days. Those who did not know him must be aware and ever grateful that he was one of the giants who helped build and shape the great organization that we have inherited. Michel Parent will always live in ICOMOS as an example of dedication, professionalism and rectitude.

 

To his family and to all our friends and colleagues in ICOMOS France, I convey our warmest feelings of sympathy as well as assurances that we share in this deep loss.

 

Gustavo F. Araoz

7th President of ICOMOS

 

Michel Parent has left us.

 

Warm, humanist, a man of great learning, finesse and delicacy, sparkling with mirth and intelligence, but not inclined to mince his words nor set aside his convictions, Michel Parent was a leading figure in the field of World cultural heritage, and a worthy representative of France.

 

The incarnation of ICOMOS' spirit of openness, he covered all the fields of cultural heritage as we represent them, working in turn as Inspector, then Inspector General of Sites, Conservateur des Batiments de France, Inspector General of Historic Monuments, Director of the Centre for Research on Historic Monuments. He was also involved in the field of intangible heritage: besides having authored many books on architecture, history, military and vernacular heritage, he also wrote numerous plays and was the Founding President of the Burgundy Nights Festival.

 

Having acted as UNESCO expert, in particular for Aswan, he later chaired UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, and became President of ICOMOS from 1981 to 1987.

 

He had just celebrated his 93rd birthday and leaves behind many friends throughout the world.

 

Pierre-Antoine Gatier

President of ICOMOS France

Funding the architectural heritage: A guide to policies and examples (16/03/2009)

 

What systems can be used for the mobilisation of financial resources for the conservation, restoration, rehabilitation and integrated management of the architectural heritage through area-based regeneration initiatives? This guide aims to provide authoritative information on different funding mechanisms, financial resources and management systems utilised in Europe and in North America as a means to assist the development of good and efficient practice. Consideration is given to examples relating to three principal forms of financial measures: subsidies (grant aid), loans and tax incentives, as well as specific measures to promote sponsorship through donations by individuals and corporate organisations. Other revenue-raising methods are investigated, including easement donations and endowment funds, lotteries, concession agreements, monument annuities, the transfer of development rights and enabling development, and through the support of international organisations such as the World Monument Fund, the World Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank and the European Union. Further consideration is given to the role of non-profit and other organisations operating for the benefit of the architectural heritage such as revolving fund organisations, charitable trusts, heritage foundations and limited liability companies.

7) DEWHA media release: $2.5 Million Funding Protects Tasmanian Convict Sites

 

Conservation projects at four of Tasmania's most important convict sites will receive a significant boost with the assistance of more than $2.5 million from the Australian Government.

 

Funding was announced today by the Federal Minister for the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, during a visit to the Cascade Female Factory with the Tasmanian Minister for Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts, Michelle O'Byrne.

 

"I am pleased to announce funding through the Australian Government's Jobs Fund for conservation work at some of Tasmania's most important historic sites," Mr Garrett said.

 

Minister Garrett said funding for these National Heritage-listed places includes:

 

•     $897,650 for the Port Arthur Historic Site Separate Prison for conservation works including repairs to the roof and ceiling, to stabilise masonry, painting, and the installation of on-site interpretative material.

•     $523,000 for Cascade Female Factory to complete the viewing platform at the site and reinstate the perimeter definition to the once walled boundary of two yards.

•     $591,000 for the Woolmers Estate to provide disability access to the historic woolshed, protect weather damage to convict graffiti, restore cottage foundations and install visitor information.

•     $500,000 for Brickendon Estate to stabilise farm precinct structures including stables, timber barns and brick outbuildings.

 

Mr Garrett said the Australian Government investment in these important sites will lead to significant employment opportunities in the local building industry.

 

"As a result of this funding, a range of skilled local tradespeople, such as stone masons and artisans, will be employed at each of the sites.

 

"The projects also offer opportunities to support young people undertaking apprenticeships and traineeships and help them develop skills for their future careers.

 

"Equally important is the positive heritage outcomes these projects will provide to the four convict sites - all of which are included in the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage nomination.

 

"The $60 million for heritage projects under the Jobs Fund is one of the largest investments in heritage conservation ever to be undertaken in Australia. It is designed to support and create jobs and develop skills that build both community and social infrastructure.

 

"This major investment in Australia's historic, Indigenous and natural heritage provides real economic stimulus by focusing on projects that have an immediate employment impact, as well as ongoing economic benefits," Mr Garrett said.

 

The Tasmanian Minister for Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts, Michelle O'Byrne, welcomed the news.

 

"I welcome this commitment by the Australian Government to support our local communities and for recognising the importance of protecting these significant National Heritage sites," Ms O'Byrne said.

 

"Tasmania's convict journey is a fascinating and very human tale. It is ultimately a tale of survival under extreme conditions and now, with this support, these important places will be conserved and restored for future generations to experience."

 

The $60 million for community heritage projects has been developed in consultation with Senator Bob Brown as part of the Government's $42 billion Nation Building - Economic Stimulus Plan.

8) News from ICOMOS International Secretariat

 

Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of ICOMOS-KOREA

 

Marking its 10th anniversary, ICOMOS-KOREA held a commemorative symposium on Friday 17 April 2009. Gustavo Araoz, President of ICOMOS International, was present to celebrate the occasion and give a keynote presentation on "ICOMOS and Cultural Heritage". On behalf of all the members of ICOMOS-KOREA I would like to extend my deep gratitude to him.

 

In commemoration of the anniversary, two lectures were held: A lecture on the Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, and one on the Experience of the Inspection of Yin Xu. Both of the sites had been inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2007 and 2006 respectively. The event also saw the announcement of the publication "A decade of ICOMOS-KOREA, 1999-2009: Accomplishments and Visions". Members shared memorable moments from the past 10 years while watching a slide show. The celebration culminated in the proclamation of the "ICOMOS-KOREA VISION 2020", which was proposed as a firm resolution to further strengthen ICOMOS Korea's activities as a leading professional NGO to preserve and protect the cultural heritage. Its main goals are as follows:

ICOMOS-KOREA VISION 2020

  1. Advancing International Activities
  2. Enhancing National Activities
  3. Improving Conservation and Management Systems
  4. Expanding General Understanding of the World Heritage
  5. Invigorating Research and Development Activities

 

ICOMOS-KOREA will continue to expand its activities, domestically and internationally, corresponding with its mission to preserve and protect the cultural heritage.

 

On the morning of the 18th April, Mr. Araoz took a tour of the Jongmyo and Chandeokgung Palaces which are both inscribed on the World Heritage List. He said that he was deeply impressed with the preparatory process of the Grand Ancestral Rite of Jongmyo, which is also one of the Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. In the afternoon, he had an opportunity to relish the cultural essence of Korea when visiting the National Museum of Korea. He met with the Director of the museum, Choi Kwang-sik. In the evening before Mr. Araoz left for The United States, ICOMOS-KOREA held a farewell dinner for him and exchanged views on a variety of item on ICOMOS' agenda.

 

The members of ICOMOS-KOREA and I will promote our effort to continue to play an active role as a leading professional NGO in the region.

International Regional Sustainable Building Conference 2010 (SB10MAD) "Sustainable Building. Revitalization and Rehabilitation of neighborhoods"

 

28-30 April 2010, Madrid (Spain)

The SB10MAD Conference is especially aimed at the Mediterranean area since it shares a series of common features, both climatic and technological as well as historical and social, that deserve the generation of its own vision within a necessary global change. Likewise, the Mediterranean area is a space shared by countries with different degrees of development and, therefore, different problems and needs, that must be considered and stated in defining any possible responses to climate change. The contribution of this Mediterranean vision will form part of the material for the next International Sustainable Building Conference in 2011.

Summary of the Conference Theme
