1. Proposed Aboriginal Heritage Protection Legislation (TAS)

A Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) was prepared for the proposed Aboriginal Heritage Protection Regulations 2013. The proposed Regulations are intended to provide some essential regulatory detail to support the Aboriginal Heritage Protection Bill 2013, which is expected to be introduced into Parliament later in 2013.

The RIS was prepared because elements of the proposed Regulations were considered to constitute a significant burden, cost or disadvantage on a sector of the public. Public comment on the prepared RIS was invited by 1 July 2013.

The report “Response to submissions on the draft Aboriginal Heritage Protection Regulations 2013 and the accompanying regulatory impact statement” is now available from the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) website.

2. AusHeritage Sydney Talk – Tuesday 29 October 2013

‘The Street of Harmony’: Cultural Heritage and Religious Pluralism in George Town,
a New World Heritage City
presented by Khoo Salma, President of the Penang Heritage Trust, Penang, Malaysia

George Town, Penang, is listed together with Melaka as the Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca, a new UNESCO World Heritage Site. Established as a British East India Company trading post in 1786, George Town has a long history as a multicultural city. The site’s Outstanding Universal Values are concentrated in Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling (Pitt Street) which features mosques, Chinese temples, a Hindu temple and a church side by side. The speaker will describe the evolution of this street in the context of the historic port, touching on recent celebrations of, and challenges to, the notion of the ‘Street of Harmony’. She will illustrate how various communities reaffirm their sense of belonging yet share urban spaces, thus contributing to a common sense of place.

Khoo Salma Nasution is a fifth generation Penang peranakan and a writer, publisher and heritage advocate. She is currently president of Penang Heritage Trust and custodian of the Sun Yat Sen Museum, Penang. As co-founder of Little Penang Street Market through Lestari Heritage Network, she is involved in growing Penang’s creative economy. Salma has written or co-written more than a dozen books on Penang and Perak, on the subjects of social history, cultural heritage and sustainable development. Her publishing company Areca Books has four titles listed on the Malaysian National Book Council’s ’50 Best Malaysian Titles 2011′. She promotes heritage networking in Southeast Asia and is an Asian Public Intellectual (API) Fellow of the Nippon Foundation.

6. “Heritage Conservation as Environmental Conservation” symposium, University of Melbourne

Heritage Conservation as Environmental Conservation, 17 October

In recent times it has been common to hear designers, environmental advocates and others declaiming against older buildings based on their poor environmental performance. At the same time, heritage advocates have embraced the idea of embodied energy and made bold claims on behalf of the environmental benefits of preserving older buildings rather than replacing them. These seemingly contradictory perspectives have produced some confusion and recently heritage authorities in Australia have taken a keen interest in assessing the various claims and understanding the different arguments.

This half day symposium will provide an opportunity for architects, heritage consultants, municipal planners, capital managers and other built environment professionals, to discuss the principles and practices involved in assessing building environmental performance and the influence that the conservation of older buildings can have on protecting the environment.

This is a free public event coordinated by Dr. Robert Crawford and supported by the Heritage Council of Victoria.

7. DOCOMOMO / Australia ICOMOS / AIA NSW Chapter – Sydney Talk Series

Hear from two International Experts on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes
presented by Mónica Luengo Añón & Guo Zhan

CULTURAL LANDSCAPES

In recent years much has changed regarding how ‘landscape’ is considered in the international scene. Landscape is now thought of as a complex and living being which, as well as having physical structure, also has immaterial and intangible values that give it meaning. However even prior to this change of thinking to consider both cultural and ‘spiritual’ aspects, cultural landscapes were considered a major contributor in the cultural heritage conservation field.

Members of the public are welcome!

Time & Date: Thursday 24 October 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

10. UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape – Ballarat pilot study

Last Friday (27 September) I attended on behalf of Australia ICOMOS two half day seminars held in Ballarat which were co-hosted by The World Heritage Institute of Training and Research for the Asia and the Pacific Region (WHI-TRAP) Shanghai, the Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific at Deakin University and the City of Ballarat.

Both sessions of this event discussed UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape and an Expert Session on the Historic Urban Landscape pilot program and were held to guide Stage 2 of the Mapping Ballarat’s Historic Urban Landscape study. This study is to contribute to UNESCO’s understanding of the implementation of their Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape. Ballarat sees this as a unique opportunity to help guide UNESCO’s roll out of this visionary approach which should have far reaching and positive implications in Ballarat and around the world.

Ballarat is one of 10 pilot sites involved in trialling an HUL approach to Conservation Planning – there are five cities in China and the other five sites in the Asia Pacific Region.

Download the 2nd Asia Pacific Regional Conference session list

The 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage (UNESCO Convention 2001) entered into force on 2 January 2009 and now provides a basis for international cooperation and exchange of knowledge about underwater cultural heritage. Recent decades have witnessed an expansion of activity directed at underwater cultural heritage which has raised awareness of its potential and significance. Underwater cultural heritage is complex, combining related disciplines and issues critical to our time. Consideration of indigenous cultural values, heritage tourism, biological interactions, socio-economic benefits, and threats from increased development, industrial extraction, certain diving activities, and even sea-level rise and erosion, continue to shape our understanding of this field. Our reliance on marine resources and need for ocean stewardship encourages government agencies, heritage groups, coastal zone managers, diving groups and other ocean users to formulate a better approach to investigating and managing non-renewable underwater cultural heritage. This conference provides an opportunity to discuss the nature and meaning and potential of underwater cultural heritage, and to exchange and disseminate information about heritage and underwater/maritime archaeology projects from the countries of Asia and the countries of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

This Conference is sponsored by: National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, UNESCO Office for the Pacific States, Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology. Potential sponsors include: Bureau of Ocean Energy and Management, Australian National Commission for UNESCO, the Australian Federal government’s Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC), the Wenner-Gren Foundation, SEAMEO-SPAFA, the Korean National Research Institute of Maritime Cultural Heritage, and more.

Conference Aims

• address management and protection strategies of underwater cultural heritage in Asia and the countries of the Indian and Pacific Oceans in the 21st Century
• facilitate regional cooperation through the development of academic and governmental networks in the Asia-Pacific region
• provide a forum for discussion of technical and ethical issues related to underwater cultural heritage and underwater archaeology

17. Publication: 40th anniversary of the European Architectural Heritage Year (1975-2015) – call for contributions

In 1975, the European Council announced the European Architectural Heritage Year (EAHY 1975) under the motto “A Future for our Past”. It was decided on by 17 member states, and carried out by 23 countries. The project was one of the largest international campaigns for the preservation of architectural heritage worldwide, with 45 case studies all over Europe.

The idea of the EAHY 1975 goes back to an initiative of the Austrian delegate Ludwig Weiss, who in 1963, conceived of the preservation of architectural heritage as a pan-European concern, and thus as an elementary device for the culturo-political collaboration of the member states of the European Council. In the following years, Austria also contributed largely to the concept and realisation of the EAHY 1975. Connecting to this tradition, ICOMOS Austria (concept by Wilfried Lipp and Michael Falser) aims to publish an edited volume on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of this important event in 2015, in the series MONUMENT.

Contributions due by 31 October 2013. For further information, see the EAHY 40th Anniverssary publication_Call for contributions.

22. SITUATION VACANT Consultant to undertake Conservation Management Plan for ‘Captain’s Cottage’, Moama

Murray Shire Council, in partnership with the Moama Local Aboriginal Land Council, is seeking proposals from suitable consultants to undertake a Conservation Management Plan for ‘Captain’s Cottage’, located in Moama.

Captain’s Cottage is located in ‘Old Moama’, is believed to have been built in l877 and is one of the few original buildings remaining in Moama. It has been vacant for many years, is in poor condition and in need of attention to prevent further deterioration and to preserve its heritage values. The Cottage provides an opportunity to preserve and promote the area’s heritage and add value to the ‘Old Moama’ precinct. It is envisaged that the cottage be restored and used as a simple museum, opened periodically, to promote the area’s history to the public.

The proposed Captain’s Cottage Conservation Management Plan (the plan) will provide for the identification, conservation and promotion of the heritage values (including Indigenous values) of the Cottage. The plan will provide a detailed and explicit outline in priority order (including costings) of works required to conserve the Cottage and interpret its heritage significance. The plan will be used to stage future works using limited funding, to ensure the building is preserved. The plan will also be used to guide the installation of interpretive information in the Cottage.

For further details see the Captains Cottage CMP Consultant Brief September 2013. If you would like to receive further information please contact Kim Harvy on (03) 5884 3302.

Submissions due by 4pm, Thursday 24 October 2013.
