Australia ICOMOS E-Mail News No. 1033

The Committee received 287 submissions from stakeholders that canvassed evidence over a broad-spectrum of areas as outlined in the terms of reference. These submissions contributed to the basis of evidence for the interim report. The Committee would like to thank the members of the public, organisations, advocacy groups and any stakeholders that gave their time to participate in the inquiry, and commend the high standard of submissions received.

Due to time constraints and the sheer size of the inquiry, the Committee resolved not to hold public hearings for this report, however the Committee have made a single recommendation to the Victorian Government to hold a full inquiry into the protections within the Victorian Planning Framework in the 60th Parliament:

That, upon commencement of the 60th Parliament, an inquiry into the Victorian planning framework be referred to the Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee with the terms of reference detailed in the report.

You can download the interim report from the Committee’s website. The Government has 6 months to respond to the report. Once received the response to the report will be posted on the website.

Australia ICOMOS made a submission to this inquiry.

Amendments to the Victorian Heritage Act 2017 introduced into Parliament

The Building, Planning and Heritage Legislation Amendment (Administration and Other Matters) Bill has been tabled in the Victoria Parliament. This Bill includes amendments to the Heritage Act 2017 which have described as follows.

The Bill modernises Victoria’s heritage system to improve its efficiency and effectiveness and support better outcomes for Victorians.

The Bill responds to issues that arose due to the Covid-19 pandemic by providing for online access to hearings, key documents and notices.

The amendments will provide greater certainty for government infrastructure authorities by allowing applications to exclude a place or object from the Heritage Register to be made. These applications will allow the heritage significance of a place or object to be established early in the planning phase of a project, provide certainty of approval pathways, and reduce project delays.

The amendments also improve the overall operation of the Heritage Act 2017 by making technical changes to Parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11.

Unrealised Sydney | exhibition at the Museum of Sydney | 6 August to 13 November

Guest curated by Australia ICOMOS member Robert Freestone, Professor of Planning at UNSW, Unrealised Sydney explores the genesis of, and community responses to, bold and sometimes misguided design proposals by governments and the private sector for redeveloping some strategic sites in and around the CBD in the second half of the 20th century. Though never realised, these schemes – shown through a range of plans, designs, models, sketches and documentary footage – form a rich part of the story that is Sydney.

Accompanying the exhibition is Realise, an interactive experience developed in collaboration with media producers Junior Major. Visitors modify precincts in Tallawoladah/The Rocks, considering factors such as environmental sustainability, liveability and productivity – then see them brought to life.

Free public talk: Unrealised Sydney: More and before
Museum of Sydney, Architecture & Design series
Wednesday 14 September 2022, 6pm–7.30pm

In this public talk, Professor Freestone will discuss some unbuilt Sydney projects not covered in the exhibition as well as delve back in time to examine schemes for ‘the Sydney that might have been’ that predate World War II. Guests can enjoy exclusive after-hours access to view the Unrealised Sydney exhibition prior to the lecture from 6pm. The talk will run from 6.30pm–7.30pm.

The event is free but registration is essential. Book through: https://my.sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/unrealisedsydneytalk

In anticipation of this event, expressions of interest are sought from outstanding individuals to be considered as the Australian candidate nominated by Australia ICOMOS for the 2023 -2026 session of the ICOMOS Board (with future appointments to be considered as appropriate).

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following characteristics:

A proven commitment to the Ethical Principles of ICOMOS and the Burra Charter
A track record of exemplary professional experience and conduct
Experience with ICOMOS at an international level would be beneficial but not required

If chosen as the Australian candidate the following would be expected prior to the election:

Attendance (preference for in person) at the ICOMOS GA 2022 in Thailand
Preparation of a candidate’s statement in early 2023 in English (Australia ICOMOS will support translation to French and Spanish)

If the candidate were successful at the election, the following commitments would be required as part of the Board appointment:

Attendance at Board meetings (twice yearly in person – once in Paris in March and once around October wherever the annual Advisory Committee meeting is being held – and approximately four further times a year online – note that online meetings take place during office hours in Paris which is late at night in eastern Australia)
Attendance at meetings (usually online) of the Asia-Pacific Regional Group (consisting of ICOMOS representatives from all countries in the region), of Board task teams, and of International working groups if nominated as a Board representative

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.
