Hosted By
Engineering Heritage Victoria (EHV)
Presentation Outline
In the minds of most present day Australians, both indigenous and non–indigenous, “engineering” came to the continent with the first Europeans. However, if one looks at the broadest definition of engineering as stated by the founders of the Institution of Civil Engineers, “…the profession of a civil engineer, being the art of directing the great sources of power in Nature for the use and convenience of man.”, then there were excellent examples present in this country which may pre-date many European civilisations. The paper will survey the works involved with a particular emphasis on the aquaculture structures at Lake Condah and nearby localities in western Victoria.
About the Speaker
Bill Jordan is a consulting structural and conservation engineer, specialising in heritage buildings and structures. He has been a board member of Engineering Heritage Australia since 1991, chairing it in 1997-98. He is the author or co-author of a number of papers on conservation and restoration. In recent years Bill’s principal duties as an EHA board member have included a five year term chairing the plaquing program committee, and again taking over as chair of the renamed heritage recognition program in 2010, editorship of the EHA Newsletter and responsibility for developing the EHA policy for registration of conservation engineers and preparation of EHA’s heritage and conservation guidelines.

The conference is seeking diverse perspectives on and approaches to heritage—from indigenous, local, national and world heritage, to tangible and intangible heritage, from landscapes to virtual communities. Taking the imagining of the city of Canberra as our inspiration, we encourage a focus on imagination, innovation and creativity – in the past, for the present and the future.

10. DOCOMOMO Australia / Australia ICOMOS – Sydney Talk Series
Japans Industrial Revolution – worth valuing?
Nirayama Furnaces
Japan’s heritage is often thought of as wooden temples, stone based castles, cherry blossom and Mount Fuji but there is a reasonable amount of heritage relating to the early period of industrialisation – Japans Industrial Revolution as some call it, which occurred from 1850 to 1912. The modernisation of Japan was a significant event in the late 19th century where a near colony dominated by Imperial powers rose to modernise, defeat Russia and become a colonial power in its own right all in about 50 years. One might even call it an outstanding event and suggest that surviving sites might indeed have universal and outstanding values worthy of World Heritage listing.
The KY World Heritage project began by the recognition by some Japanese, principally Ms Koko Kato, that some sites may have UOV. This idea garnered support to form a committee with funding available to undertake investigation and inspections. Dr Iain Stuart and Dr Michael Pearson are Australian ICOMITES on the panel of official foreign advisors to the KY committee. We have the role of assisting the representatives of the Japanese Government and other interest groups prepare a Draft Nomination document.
This talk by Dr Iain Stuart, speaking in a personal capacity, outlines the key places under consideration and their historical context, with comments on the process of nomination and how the project has evolved over time.
Dr Iain Stuart is an archaeologist who has worked in Government and in private industry over the last 30 years. He considers himself “from Melbourne” although he has lived in Sydney since 1993. He is a Board Member of TICCIH and of the Australasian Society of Historical Archaeology as well as being a long-term member of ICOMOS.
Members of the public are welcome!
Time & Date: Thursday 2 May 2013, 5.30pm for 6pm start
Cost: Members $7, non-members $12, payable at the door. Wine and nibbles will be provided.
Venue: Godden Mackay Logan, 78 George Street, Redfern
RSVP: email Jane Vernon or call (02) 9319 4811. Please note: RSVP is essential as places are limited.

The Australian National University (ANU) is running a suite of tours to coincide with National Heritage Week. The tours are 1.5hrs in duration and cover different themes and areas of the ANU Acton campus.
Acton Conservation Area Tour
Monday April 15 2013, 12.30pm – Meeting at Old Canberra House
This tour of the Commonwealth Heritage Listed Acton Conservation Area of the ANU Acton Campus demonstrates life in the early days of Canberra’s establishment as the National Capital. The tour will lead participants through the southern portion of ANU, showcasing some of Canberra’s earliest buildings, such as Old Canberra House (1913) and the remnant buildings of the Canberra Community Hospital (1914-42).
Political History of ANU Tour
Tuesday April 16 2013, 12.30pm – Meeting at the Street Theatre
The Political History of ANU tour highlights the University’s political past, ranging from its establishment by an Act of Parliament in 1946 to the antics of would be Prime Ministers, student protestors and self-proclaimed ‘political rat-bags’. This tour will take you through the northeastern portion of the Acton Campus and highlight some of the places and faces which have contributed to the political history of the ANU. Participants will hear about notorious student protests which changed the way students were engaged at ANU, important political decisions which shaped the way ANU developed and even some drunken antics.
Landscape of ANU Tour
Wednesday April 17 2013, 12.30pm – Meeting at the Street Theatre
The landscape is a defining feature of the Acton campus and varies character. From remnant trees which pre-date ANU to plantings by Lindsay Pryor – this tour will inform those interested in learning about both the planning and planting of the campus. This walking tour will take participants through the northern portion of the campus, outlining the significant natural and cultural plantings as well as the significant aspects of the campus’ planning. You will see the oldest tree on the campus, learn more about Sullivan’s Creek and understand the significant planning decisions which led to the campus you see today.
Architecture of ANU Tour
Friday April 19 2013, 12.30pm – Meeting at the Street Theatre
The Architecture of ANU tour will explore the veritable smorgasbord of architectural styles at ANU and how these have evolved from 1911 to today. Once described as an architectural ‘Disneyland’ ANU has examples of buildings designed in 1911 and 2013 and all the significant eras in between. This tour will showcase these early Canberra buildings in contrast to the Brutalist styles of the 1960s, and the modern obsession with concrete.

21. Australasian Urban History/Planning History Group Biennial Conference, 2-5 February 2014
Australasian Urban History/Planning History Group Biennial Conference
Landscapes and Ecologies of Urban and Planning History
Wellington, New Zealand
2-5 February 2014
The 12th Australasian Urban History/Planning History Conference (UHPH) will take place in Wellington, New Zealand between February 2 and 5, 2014 hosted by the Victoria University of Wellington School of Architecture.
Urbanisation represents a dynamic flux of social histories and natural ecologies woven together across time. The interaction between settlement and landscape told through conflict, discovery, heroism, failure, imagination and policy at different scales presents a rich lode for histories informed by an environmental perspective.
This conference affords a special opportunity to explore these interrelationships but will welcome all contributions related to urban and planning history in Australia and New Zealand.
Wellington is an inspired location in which to consider the complex relationships between cities and their settings. It is situated in a dramatic landscape, with the built environment perched between rugged, bush-clad hills and a magnificent harbour.
The Conference Committee has made a call for paper abstracts. The updated deadline for submitting abstracts is 30 April 2013. Further information on the Call for Papers and conference subthemes can be found at the conference website.
Please contact Morten Gjerde by email with any queries.

Individual sessions will run for 1.5 hours and should include 4 or 5 presentations. Speakers may only present one paper during the conference, although they may be co-authors on other papers.
In late May, we will announce the conference sessions that have been accepted and place a call for Paper Abstracts to be submitted. Conference registrations will open in late May.
For enquiries, email Julie Jerbic or call Julie on (07) 5580 8677.
