(Un)Loved Modern Conference, 7-10 July
If you haven't already registered
to attend the Australia ICOMOS (Un)Loved
Modern Conference in Sydney next week (7-10
July), then you must register
now. We have extended the closing date for
registrations through to midnight on Sunday 5 July.
All the plans are in place;
overseas speakers and delegates have packed their bags; venues are preparing
for us; the conference papers have been compiled; and next Wednesday morning,
over 230 conference delegates will gather at the Sydney Masonic Centre.
You too could join them, but you must register now.
Keynote
speakers will discuss major issues with the
conservation and continued use of architecture from the latter half of the
Twentieth Century. Panel
sessions on the Sydney Opera House and on the
challenges around re-engaging with original designers will provide critical
insight into these issues. Over
40 speakers will present papers on a wide range
of topics across the conference sub-themes. And during breaks, and at the
social functions each evening, you will be able to discuss the challenges
and opportunities associated with conserving our Twentieth Century heritage with
other conference delegates.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for
their assistance in making this conference happen. We're excited, and
hope to see you there.

6) Australian Government review
of the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 - REMINDER: submissions close 17 July
2009
The Australian Government has commenced a review of the Historic
Shipwrecks Act 1976 and consideration of ratification of the UNESCO 2001
Convention for the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. A discussion
paper was released on Friday 5 June 2009 and is available on the historic
shipwreck web pages of the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and
the Arts http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/shipwrecks/review/index.html.
Community participation is encouraged, and written
submissions are invited until 17 July 2009.
The review is looking at the operation of the legislation and
whether it is achieving its objectives.
The review will also consider whether Australia should amend
its legislation to meet international best practice for the management of its
underwater cultural heritage.
This is the first time that the Historic Shipwrecks Act
1976 has been reviewed. As the current legislative regime is now over 30
years old and the Australian Government does not have legislation in place to
protect other types of archaeological sites and artefacts found in Australian
waters, such as aircraft, a review is timely.
While the process of considering ratification of the
Underwater Cultural Heritage Convention is separate to that of reviewing the Historic
Shipwrecks Act, both issues are closely related. This review is therefore
considering whether the Act should be amended having regard to both the UNESCO
Underwater Cultural Heritage Convention and international best practice.
The review of the Historic Shipwrecks Act will
consider the operation of the legislation and the extent to which it is
achieving its purpose, the new international framework for managing underwater
cultural heritage and current heritage policy needs.
The review is to be completed by 30 October 2009 and public
submissions are invited until 17 July 2009 to ensure consideration of a wide
range of views.
Submissions can be directed to:
Secretariat to the Review of the Historic Shipwrecks Act
GPO Box 787
Canberra ACT 2601
Or
Submissions will be published on the review website unless marked
confidential, at
www.environment.gov.au/heritage/shipwrecks/review
Questions about the review can be directed to the
