2. Burra Charter Guidelines Review: COMMENT PERIOD CLOSES 30 JUNE 2013
The Burra Charter Guidelines Review is underway.
There are 4 documents awaiting your comments:
- The Burra Charter (Draft 2013)
- Practice Note – Understanding and assessing cultural significance
- Practice Note – Developing policy
- Practice Note – Undertaking studies and reports
The Burra Charter (Draft 2013) contains a number of small changes – place has been re-defined, for example, to better reflect current practice. You might also like to comment on future changes you’d like to see to the Charter, recognising that it needs to keep up with current best practice.
The idea of Practice Notes is new for Australia ICOMOS so we are really keen to see what you think. These three Practice Notes are completely new – drawing from the current Guidelines but aiming to explain the steps more clearly and address current practice issues.
Go to the dedicated page on the Australia ICOMOS website to download the documents, join in the Discussion Forums or lodge your comments via the on-line survey. You have until Sunday 30 June to contribute your comments on these four documents.
Later in June Australia ICOMOS will release four more Practice Notes for comment:
- Article 22: New Work
- The Burra Charter and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management
- The Burra Charter and Archaeological Practice

4. Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV) exhibition, Melbourne
RIGHT ROYAL
From Queen Street and the Duke of Edinburgh Gardens, to indirect references such as the Melbourne suburbs of Windsor, Coburg and Hampton, royal references abound Melbourne and Victoria.
So many of our most loved institutions in Victoria, such as the Royal Children’s Hospital and the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria, sought to acquire the royal imprimatur, and still proudly wear the title – regardless of the tides of republican sentiment.
Why? Right Royal explores this question and the pervasive nature of royal symbolism in the continuing identity of Melbourne and Victoria.
The exhibition decodes the thousands of sometimes subtle and forgotten ways in which royal and loyal references are embedded in the city.
Highlights include:
- An 1868 letter from Prince Alfred to Government House thanking the people of Australia for saving him from an assassination attempt
- A 1936 handkerchief with King Edward’s abdication speech printed on it
- The protocol guide for planning the Queen’s Royal visit to Australia in 1954
and many more royal gems.
The exhibition will be held weekdays from 10am–4pm, concluding on Melbourne Day, 30 August 2013.
Date & Time
Showing until 30 August 2013
Open: 10am – 4pm, Monday – Friday
Venue
Royal Historical Society of Victoria
239 A’Beckett Street, Melbourne

Gold coin donation

5. Australia ICOMOS White Paper submission – input invited & individual submissions encouraged
The NSW White Paper and Draft Exposure Bills, the last step of consultation in A New Planning System for NSW, will be available online until 28 June 2013, which is the deadline for submissions.
Heritage is little mentioned and there are potentially serious implications and many unknowns for heritage. Australia ICOMOS is currently preparing a submission and the absolute deadline for your contributions to this submission is the afternoon of Sunday 23 June 2013 by email to Peter Romey and by email to Kerime Danis.
Individual submissions are strongly encouraged
It is important that there are as many submissions as possible, as the only thing that will change the government’s mind is the strength of public opposition. Please see the Australia ICOMOS White Paper submission – Suggestions for Individual Submissions for some points that you could mention in your submission on ‘White Paper – A New Planning System for NSW’, and also refer to the Better Planning Network White Paper Submission Guide.

9. Robin Boyd Foundation Zeitgeist I Lecture Series, next lecture 25 June, Melbourne
ZEITGEIST I is an initiative of The University of Melbourne Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation in partnership with the Robin Boyd Foundation.
The act of ‘making’ artefacts and then conserving them has consequences … So we then might ask the question: To what extent is the physical fabric a measure of design intent and artefactual status?
The ZEITGEIST lecture program has been developed to explore this proposition through the contemporary eye of the ‘maker’. The fifth speaker for Zeitgeist I is Mr Callum Fraser. Callum will talk about the process of democratisation and the design of high-rise city space.
Date & time: Tuesday 25 June 2013, 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Venue: ‘Walsh Street,’ 290 Walsh Street, South Yarra
Cost: Robin Boyd Foundation members $20.00, public $25.00, students $15.00
Guests are invited for drinks on arrival at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.

- Management
