AUSTRALIA ICOMOS RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN
NEW Reconciliation Australia endorses Australia ICOMOS Reflect Reconciliation Plan
Australia ICOMOS is delighted to announce that the Reflect Reconciliation Plan has been endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. Australia ICOMOS thanks the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group, chaired by Maddison Miller for all their hard work in seeing this plan to fruition. In particular we acknowledge the incredible contribution made by Jessica Hood to the working group. We also thank Taungurung, Wotjobaluk, Wemba Wemba and Boon Wurrung woman Aimee McCartney for the artwork on the front cover and throughout the document. View document here
The design of the RAP features Luruk-In, an Australian Aboriginal Art business, founded by proud Taungurung, Wotjobaluk, Wemba Wemba and Boon Wurrung woman Aimee McCartney. The artwork represents Australia ICOMOS continued commitment and engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities in cultural heritage conservation. The large circular symbol represents AICOMOS as a central meeting place with additional meeting places depicting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the country. These meeting places and the accompanying Australian Gum leaves symbolise where people gather, share their needs, aspirations, culture beliefs and in turn develop and strengthen meaningful and respectful relationships.The process of developing the RAP has engendered reflection at all levels of our organisation and membership—interrogating our mission, structures and areas of influence, and seeking answers as to how the organisation can change to better support the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Australia ICOMOS resolved to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart at its Annual General Meeting of 15 November 2019, and its key concepts of voice, treaty and truth. For Australia ICOMOS this commitment is particularly meaningful in relation to our key commitment to the protection and recognition of First Nations cultural heritage and to the broader recognition of the indivisible nature of people, knowledge, place and Country.

NEW Proposed Amendments to Australia ICOMOS Rules
The Australia ICOMOS Rules were last amended in 2013. Since then, several changes have been made to the ICOMOS Statutes and Rules of Procedure, and the Model Statutes for ICOMOS National Committees have also been revised by the ICOMOS Board. In addition, the existing Australia ICOMOS Rules make no provision for virtual or hybrid meetings which have now become common practice.
The Executive Committee has therefore decided to amend the Australia ICOMOS Rules to bring them into line with other ICOMOS statutory and advisory documents, and with the latest set of Model Rules in the Associations Incorporation Regulation 1991 (ACT). The draft amendments can be found at the following link: AICOMOS Rules Draft Amendment
This document includes the current Rules and the proposed amendments, together with an explanation as to why each amendment is being proposed.
The Executive Committee would welcome any comments from members on the proposed amendments, which should be received by 15 October 2023 at the latest to allow time for the comments to be reviewed by the Committee and the final draft published three weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting in Hobart, at which the proposed amendments will be presented for adoption.

Call for papers Special issue in Tourism Geographies| Historical Geographies of Tourism: Moments, Monuments and Methods
The overarching question this special issue asks can be described as follows: what is the conceptual relationship between history, geography, and tourism research? While in broad terms they are interrelated, these connections tend to be assumed, and accepted but rarely critically examined or fully understood in tourism scholarship.
Tourism Geographies is a peer-reviewed journal which explores tourism and tourism-related areas of recreation and leisure studies from a geographic perspective. This journal brings together academic and applied research and regional traditions from around the world, including multi-disciplinary approaches from geography and related fields such as anthropology and other social sciences, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, and environmental science and management (see https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rtxg20). The 2022 Scopus Cite Score for the journal is 22.

SYMPOSIUM | Prefab and Precut: Affordable Housing Options for Postwar Australia (1945-1975) | Japanese Room, MSD | 9am-5.30pm 3 November 2023
At a time when Australia faces an acute shortage of housing across urban, regional and remote communities, it is time to critically reflect on the successes and the failures of the machine-made house in postwar Australia. Convened by Professor Philip Goad, this is a one-day symposium that features papers from scholars and heritage practitioners that address current issues regarding housing and how we can look to the past to redress for the future. Invariably modest in scale, carefully planned for solar orientation, and above all conceived with affordability in mind, these houses offer potential lessons on what might be possible for the future of Australian housing.

International Festival of Luoghi Parlanti (Talking Places), The World in Florence | Hybrid | 21-23 November 2023, CEST
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the third edition of the International Festival of Luoghi Parlanti (Talking Places), The World in Florence, which will be held again this year in a hybrid format (in-person and remote), in Florence, from November 21st to 23rd, 2023.
The previous editions in 2021 and 2022 brought together over 140 speakers from 37 countries across 5 continents to share and compare their experiences and attend high-level interventions in the field of cultural and natural heritage.
Throughout our over thirty-year history, we have emphasized how cultural heritage is a powerful tool for uniting people worldwide and can strongly contribute to sustainable territorial development and peaceful coexistence. The issues of the contemporary world, such as the effects of climate change and war, make these activities of comparison more and more necessary, finding synergies between the world of theory and that of practice, in order to direct all activities towards more sustainable and ethical practices.
Therefore, Festival participants (universities, local administrations, cultural operators, and businesses) will be called upon to tell the story of their territories through a storytelling of their traditional knowledge and cultural, tangible, intangible, and natural heritage, making the Festival a place for exchanging and sharing good practices from all over the world, where they can interact with various categories of interlocutors.
We trust that you share the goals of the Festival and that you will want to participate and contribute to the knowledge and enhancement of your territory and its spirit. We invite you to download the participation call at www.theworldinflorence.com
