2. Draft Ballarat Strategy released for comment
DRAFT BALLARAT STRATEGY RELEASED FOR COMMENT:
Implementing the Historic Urban Landscape approach
Following Ballarat’s largest ever community conversation ever – Ballarat Imagine – and after many months of work by internal City of Ballarat staff, the draft Ballarat strategy has now been released for public comment. This is the 30 year land-use strategy for Ballarat which will guide all work across the entire organisation and our subsequent planning scheme review.
UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) underpins much of the approach taken for both the Strategy and Ballarat Imagine. Critically, the Strategy includes a commitment to ‘implement UNESCO’s Historic Urban Landscape approach as the guiding framework for managing change in our dynamic historic city’ in the long-term: enabling the City of Ballarat to continue to evolve the HUL approach.

All comments are welcomed.
The deadline for comments is 5 June 2015.

About Raymond Lemaire
Born on 28th May 1921 in Uccle, Brussels, into a family of architects, Raymond Lemaire was trained in History, Art History, and Archaeology at the Catholic University of Louvain. His doctorate thesis (1949) was on “The Origin of the Gothic Style in Brabant”. A lecturer since 1947, he was appointed to a professorship in 1954.
He is one of the authors of the “Venice Charter”, which he drafted during the 2nd International Congress of Architects and Monument Technicians in 1964, at the request of his colleague and friend Piero Gazzola. The “Venice Charter” later became the basis for the creation of ICOMOS in 1965. After almost ten years as Secretary General of ICOMOS, Raymond Lemaire succeeded Piero Gazzola as President of ICOMOS in 1975. Read more

14. Re-thinking Lifescape symposium, 3-6 November 2015, Korea – call for papers
Re-thinking Lifescape: Linking Landscape to Everyday Life symposium
Jeju Island, Republic of Korea
3 -6 November 2015
We experience ordinary places and environments every day. Lifescape, landscape in everyday life, is a precondition for existence as well as a background for living. We, however, seldom notice its values because of the veil of familiarity. By rethinking lifescape, we can evoke values not typically associated with cultural landscapes and heritages. Lifescape is experienced everywhere in both urban and rural landscapes, such as the landscape of the CBD, market place, country side, and farmland. Although this conference mainly addresses rethinking lifescape, we also have a special sub-theme on island landscape, which have seen its popularity rise as a tourism destination. The sub-theme includes topics such as unique rural landscape, and sacred places and landscapes of folk religion stone landscapes.
The International Symposium will explore and discuss four themes:
Theme 1: New Ideas and Theories of Cultural Landscape
- New concepts and ideas as a way of seeing
- Methodology
- Value evaluation
- Aesthetics
- Place attachment and identity
- Collective memory and place, etc
Theme 2: Strategies and Plans on Conservation and Management
- Management and conservation strategies
- Plans for sustainability
- Living landscape and tourism
- Governance and local movements
- Economical solutions, Laws, etc.
Theme 3: Cases and Experiences
- Public parks, gardens and green infrastructure
- Urban landscapes and ordinary places
- Historic landscapes and cultural heritages
- Local identity and vernacular landscapes, etc.
Theme 4: Special Topic – Island Landscape
- Sacred places and landscapes of folk religion
- Unique rural landscapes in the island
- Stone landscapes in the island
- Climate and landscape in the island
- Coastal landscapes, people in landscape, etc.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The conference organisers are calling for abstracts by 30 June 2015.
Abstracts should include:
- Title
- Identify a Theme (one of four from the list above)
- three to five key words
- Author name, affiliation, and contact details (email, postal address, phone)
- Maximum of 300-word abstract in English

15. “Cultural Heritage: Possibilities for Spatial & Economic Development” conference, Croatia, 23-23 October 2015
“Cultural Heritage: Possibilities for Spatial & Economic Development
23-23 October 2015
Zagreb, Croatia
The Heritage Urbanism project is based on the premise that heritage must not only be a historic monument (protected object), but also an active factor (creative entity) in contemporary life and cultural, social, economic, and spatial development of a community.
Recognizing the importance of basic cultural and historic research that leads to better understanding of cultural heritage, as well as its spatial context, this conference will cover three major paper topics focused on the following guidelines:
- criteria, methods, models and scenarios of revitalization and enhancement of cultural heritage
- new high-quality interventions that turn cultural heritage into an essential local development factor
