1) Amendments to the NSW
Heritage Act
Members of Australia ICOMS who live
and/ or work in NSW will be concerned to know that the Amendment Bill passed
both houses on 3 June. AICOMOS has been advised that there was at least an
amendment in the Upper House which I understand requires the Minister to make
public reasons for not implementing the Heritage Council's recommendations for
heritage criteria.
The passage of this legislation is
a regrettable backward step for heritage in NSW - a state which in the past has
had a reputation as a leader in protecting cultural heritage. Of course,
positive outcomes for cultural heritage are always achieved through the actions
and commitment of people rather than by legislation alone. In many areas
besides heritage conservation there are examples throughout Australia's history
where great outcomes are achieved despite poor, inadequate legislation - it is
now up to the concerned public and practitioners and the public service
administrators of the heritage system to work together to maintain conservation
standards, to ensure that the cultural heritage of NSW is protected for future
generations.
Speeches relating to issues with
the Bill are available at this link
http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/Prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20090603006
Australia ICOMOS provided comments
on the proposed amendments to a number of politicians in a last ditch attempt
to have some of the negative changes addressed. Our submission is
available on the Australia ICOMOS website www.icomos.org/australia/ under Policies and Submissions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2) Donations Sought for
(Un)Loved Modern Conference Dinner Raffle
Donations are sought for prizes for the (Un)loved Modern
conference dinner raffle. The raffle has become a tradition at Australia
ICOMOS conference dinners over the last few years, with funds raised donated to
various causes that Australia ICOMOS supports.
This year the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has moved
to donate the proceeds of the conference dinner raffle to a Streetwise Asia
project in the Philippines for the conservation of the c.1920 Kuguita
Elementary School on the island of Camiguin. The school building is
representative of the approximately 3,000 such 'Gabaldon Schools' constructed
in the Philippines between 1898 -1946. Conservation of this important school
building is consistent with the theme of the Unloved Modern conference.
Further information regarding the project and the Streetwise Asia Fund is
attached.
To donate a prize for the raffle, please contact anita.krivickas@commerce.nsw.gov.au.
Prizes could include books, wine, dinner or store vouchers, free entry to
museums or historic properties.

10) CAPTURED: Freo Prison 1991
- new exhibition
This new exhibition features black and white photographs shot
inside Fremantle Prison five months before its closure. Photographer Karin
Calvert-Borshoff was contracted by the State Government to document the
facility and its customs before it was decommissioned. Calvert-Borshoff
had unprecedented access to restricted locations and prisoners inside Western
Australia's maximum security prison.
These arresting images reveal a glimpse into the stark
conditions of Fremantle Prison, an archaic institution long overdue for
closure. Calvert-Borshoff captures inmates, prison officers and non uniformed
staff in their daily routines.
Featuring some 100 images from the Fremantle Prison
Collection, Captured presents a powerful record of the social history of the
prison.
Curator: Sandra Murray
16 June - 6 Sept, 10 - 5 daily. Admission free to
exhibition.

12) DEWHA Media release:
$112,000 for Everglades House and Garden upgrade
With a contribution of $112,000 in funding, important work
can now begin on Everglades House and Garden.
Funding was announced today by the Federal Minister for the
Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, and the Federal Member for
Macquarie, Bob Debus, as part of the Australian Government's $650 million Jobs
Fund.
"Everglades includes one of Australia's foremost heritage
gardens and this new funding will ensure that visitors will have improved
access to its spectacular surroundings," Mr Garrett said.
Mr Garrett said activities funded through the project will
include:
§ Upgrade
to the walking paths throughout the Paul Sorenson designed gardens.
§ Repairs
and upgrades to the interior of the house.
Mr Debus welcomed the funding, saying, "Everglades House and
Gardens was established in the 1930s and I am very pleased that the $112,000 earmarked
under the Australian Government's Jobs Fund will benefit visitors as well as
create jobs for local trades-people and apprentices. In addition, our local
businesses will also have an opportunity to supply the materials and services
needed to support this vital conservation and preservation work.
"This funding is especially welcome because Everglades draws
in thousands of tourists each year. This work will enhance its attractiveness
to tourists as it continues to generate jobs and provide an economic stimulus
to the region," Mr Debus said.
"This is an important investment in our local community, as
is the previously announced funding of close to $1.3 million for major upgrades
to the Grand Canyon Walking Track in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage
Area.
"The Jobs Fund is an important part of the Government's
commitment to support local jobs. The $650 million Jobs Fund includes $60
million for projects related to Australia's historic, Indigenous and natural
heritage places and the National Trust of Australia (NSW) is to be
congratulated for their work to conserve Everglades House and Garden."
The $60 million for community heritage projects has been
developed in consultation with Senator Bob Brown as part of the Government's
$42 billion National Building - Economic Stimulus Plan.
Funding previously announced for heritage projects includes
$2.5 million for four Tasmanian convict sites and more than $550,000 to protect
and conserve the Cottesloe home of World War II Prime Minister John Curtin. In
addition $2 million has been allocated for conservation works to Old Government
House in Parramatta and more than $360,000 for walking and bike trails at Budj
Bim in Victoria.
