Release of the Australian 2021 State of the Environment Report – Review the State of Australia’s Heritage

Earlier this week the Australian 2021 State of the Environment (SoE 2021) report was released by Tanya Plibersek, Minister for Environment and Water. The SoE 2021 reports on the state of the Australian environment, including heritage, over the five years to 2021. It is an independent, evidence-based and comprehensive assessment of the health of Australia’s environment, legislated under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This is the 6^th Australian State of the Environment report. All 6 SoE reports, with reporting starting 1996, have heritage chapters. 

The SoE 2021 has some new initiatives. These include some new chapters, including a stand alone Indigenous chapter, and each chapter was written with an Indigenous co-author. This SoE report also looks at wellbeing, and links to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The full 2021 State of the Environment report can be found at https://soe.dcceew.gov.au/. The SoE 2021 is a web-based report, but individual chapters can be downloaded as PDFs. 

The SoE 2021 heritage chapter, which deals with both ‘listed’ heritage and protected areas, can be found at https://soe.dcceew.gov.au/heritage/introduction.  

This chapter was prepared by Anne McConnell (lead author), Terri Janke, Zena Cumpston and Ian Cresswell (please note the Heritage Fact Sheet was not prepared by the chapter authors). The heritage chapter is downloadable as a PDF. The SoE 2011 and 2016 heritage chapters are also downloadable from this link, as are the Heritage Supplementary Reports. These supplementary reports are (1) an annotated listing of Australia’s heritage legislation, and the approaches and results, (2) a survey of Australian heritage and protected area agencies, (3) a survey of local government authorities, (4) a heritage expert survey, and (5) information on the expert workshops that were conducted.

ICOMOS-ICAHM Conference | Universal Access to open air archaeological sites | Xanten, Germany + online | 11-12 August

What if archaeological sites and parks were accessible to as many people as possible? This question seems obvious, but it is not yet in practice, as you may already know through your practice! It is now recognized that everyone should have access to culture, regardless of their social status, cultural background, or mobility possibilities. It is also believed that the process of inclusion brings added value to the institutions that work to implement it. However, for a large part of the population, such as people with disabilities, seniors and young families, it remains extremely difficult to access certain cultural experiences, especially those in open-air archaeological sites, and this all over the world.

The LVR-Archaeological Parc Xanten / LVR-RömerMuseum will host a conference of the ICOMOS/ICAHM working group on accessibility to UNESCO world heritage sites, organized by ArchaeoConcept, from the 11^th to the 12^{th of} August 2022. The colloquium will take place in Xanten (Germany) as well as online – with the title “Universal Access to Open-air archaeological sites”. The event is primarily aimed at professionals from the cultural heritage (ICOMOS/ICAHM). However, it is also essential to us that professional audiences from the fields of tourism, nature conservation, and disability participate. The aim is (1) to discuss the definition of handicap and universal access, and the issues of access to archaeological sites and parks, (2) to overview the existing methods for analysing the situation at cultural heritage facilities. Each session, consisting of four presentations of half an hour, will be followed by a group discussion. These first issues will then be pursued by (3) case studies from throughout the world.

Not only have we invited managers of archaeological sites to this conference, but also managers of nature parks and people who work directly with universal accessibility. Among them, we are honoured to welcome people with different disabilities to talk about their experiences as well. We look forward to your presence at the conference in person or by visio.
