1. Burra Charter Guidelines Review: LAST CHANCE TO COMMENT
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.
Next week Australia ICOMOS will release four more Practice Notes for a four week comment period; they will be available online from 5 July 2013.

2. ICOMOS International Executive Committee Candidate: Expressions of Interest sought
For many years an Australian ICOMOS member has been elected to the International Executive Committee of ICOMOS. This position is currently held by Kristal Buckley, who will have completed a nine-year term as Vice President in November 2014.
In March 2014 nominations will open for state parties to nominate a person from their country for the ICOMOS International Executive Committee (IEC).
Australia ICOMOS is calling for nominations from members who would like to represent Australia on the ICOMOS IEC. One person is selected by the National Committee via a selection panel, which has been formed to assess nominations for an Australian representative.
Some background to the IEC is provided below and the selection criteria is available in the ICOMOS International Executive Committee Candidate – EOI information, June2013, which has been developed by the selection panel with input from the Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee. Please address all of the selection criteria in your submission.
By Friday 2 August, short listed candidates will be advised of an interview time and location in Sydney for Friday 23 August with the selection panel. The selection panel aims to appoint the successful candidate before the Oct/Nov Canberra Australia ICOMOS Conference.
Please submit your confidential responses addressing each of the selection criteria by email to Deborah Lindsay, the selection panel coordinator, by 5pm, Friday 19 July. Please email Deborah with any queries.
Background Information on the ICOMOS International Executive Committee
The International Executive Committee (IEC) is made up of the Bureau: President, five Vice-Presidents, Secretary-General, Treasurer-General and 12 Executive Committee members. The IEC meets formally twice each year: in Paris in March and in October in conjunction with the Advisory Committee (which moves each year). In addition to these meetings, some IEC members also participate in the World Heritage Panel (an extra trip to Paris in December) and the World Heritage Working Group (mostly pinned on to the other meetings, but with an optional additional trip in September).
IEC Bureau members attend all of these meetings, plus a mid-year Bureau meeting to track progress. These meetings are generally located and timed to fit in with the session of the World Heritage Committee (which changes each year). Bureau members are expected to carry a number of portfolios of responsibility and to be closely involved in governance, finances and other organisational issues.
All members of the IEC are elected at the General Assembly for a 3-year term. There is a maximum of 3 terms allowed in any one position.
The meetings of the IEC are conducted in English and French. Translation is provided for the World Heritage Panel and at the Advisory Committee, but mostly translation is not available. English is the more commonly used of the two working languages. There is considerable advocacy to introduce Spanish as a working language, and many meetings also include some Spanish interventions. Members of the IEC are not permitted to take part in World Heritage missions during their term of office.

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

5. Exhibition Opening & talks (Sydney): Historic Gardens of New England
The Australian Garden History Society brings an amazing photographic exhibition to Sydney for one month only: July. This surveys historic gardens – small and grand – over time in the New England district surrounding Armidale, Glen Innes and Guyra in the state’s mid-north.
Sydney & Northern NSW Branch Chair Stuart Read describes this as a rare treat for Sydney-siders and not to be missed. The Society’s national conference this year in Armidale is already booked-out – so this is a chance to see up close what you’ll miss out on!
The exhibition runs for a month and is free, but you might want to catch a double treat on opening night. On the evening of Tuesday 2 July, at the Institute of Architects at Tusculum, Potts Point, Curators Bill Oates (from the New England Heritage Centre) and heritage consultant Graham Wilson will talk about the photographs and chart the evolution of gardens in the region, from early ‘survival’ gardens full of vegetables and fruit trees to something much more complex and sophisticated.
The Tuesday night opening is part of AIA’s programme of Tuesday night talks. Please book for catering purposes, but you can pay on the night at the door.
