1. Australia ICOMOS FABRIC 2015 Conference – update
There are less than 30 days to register for the Fabric conference at the Early Bird rate. The conference will explore the tangible and intangible elements of buildings, areas and landscapes that are important to society and that form part of our evolving culture. You will hear engaging presentations by our keynote speakers Julian Smith from Willowbank in Canada, Susan Macdonald from the Getty Conservation Institute in the United States, and Dr Neale Draper from ACHM in Adelaide. The field trips on the Saturday of the conference provide you with four options to see urban regeneration at Port Adelaide, significant heritage buildings and sites in the Adelaide CBD, the cultural heritage values of the Mount Lofty Ranges, or traditional trades in practice at Adelaide Gaol – all part of your conference registration. The inclusive social events at the conference provide delegates with opportunities for catching up with friends and meeting new colleagues. We hope to see you in Adelaide at what is shaping up to be gem of a conference.

A digital photographic competition is being held as part of the Fabric conference. Australia ICOMOS is concerned with the gradual loss of skills in traditional trades associated with heritage places in Australia. This competition seeks to record and celebrate people involved with the conservation of traditional trades, crafts or other practices. Entrants are required to send a single photograph of tradespersons in the act of making or with a finished product. The photograph should showcase the skill involved in the trade. Please download the HEROES_OF_TRADITIONAL_TRADES_photo_competition flyer for more information on the photographic competition submission guidelines.

2. Quality Conservation Forum at Fabric conference
Following consideration in early 2014 by Australian Heritage Agencies at HOCANZ of a proposal for an Australian Quality Framework to address shortcomings in Australian heritage conservation practice, Australia ICOMOS and the APT Australasia Chapter are moving to develop the Quality Framework proposal. Participation by heritage practitioners concerned about the loss of heritage conservation skills and experience will be important in ensuring that the proposed quality framework has a practical use.
You are invited to participate and to help shape this initiative. Click here for an early draft of the program, which is intended to convey information about the scope of the event. More information about the forum is available at the conference website.

10. Calling for local people and local projects for Green Army Round Four – The Hon Greg Hunt MP media release
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following media release from the Hon Greg Hunt, dated 12 August 2015.
The Australian Government is calling for more local people to join the Green Army to work on local projects that will make a real difference to our environment.
Applications for projects under Round 4 of the Green Army programme are now open for projects.
We want local people to join the Green Army to work on local projects in our community, and we want local groups to come forward with ideas for projects.
Community organisations, Landcare groups, natural resource management organisations, environment groups, Indigenous organisations, local councils and others can now nominate for a new Green Army project that has a clear focus on conservation of the environment or National or World Heritage places.
For young Australians aged between 17 and 24, joining the Green Army means you’ll receive valuable practical experience and training while undertaking work that will improve the environment in our local community.
Round Four of the Green Army will consist of two streams. Stream 1 will focus on heritage projects that promote, protect and conserve Australia’s National and World Heritage which are listed for their natural, historic or Indigenous values.
Stream 2 will focus on projects that directly support the protection and recovery of threatened species, particularly actions for improving habitat. There will also be a focus on projects that address threats to the Great Barrier Reef.
The Green Army encourages practical action to support local environment and conservation projects across Australia and will provide training to thousands of young Australians by 2018.
Right across Australia, the Green Army is making a real difference to the environment and local communities through projects such as restoring and protecting habitat, weeding, planting, cleaning up creeks and rivers and restoring cultural heritage places.
In its first year, the Green Army has been a huge success with more than 700 community projects announced since it was launched in August 2014. More than 350 projects have already rolled out in urban, rural and remote areas. Many more will hit the ground in the coming years as the Green Army Programme builds to 1500 projects in 2018-19.
The Green Army will become Australia’s largest-ever team supporting environmental action across the country, building to 15,000 young Australians by 2018.
The Green Army is a major Government commitment with more than $700 million budgeted over four years.
This investment in the Green Army brings the Government’s total investment in natural resource management to more than $2 billion over four years.
Applications for projects under Round Four of the programme are now open and will close at 2pm AEST (Canberra time) on Wednesday, 16 September 2015.
Information sessions about how to get involved in the Green Army are running throughout August across Australia. They are an opportunity to find out about how to apply for a project under Round Four.
For more information about Round 4 including eligibility, project guidelines and application form and the full schedule of community information sessions go to www.australia.gov.au/greenarmy.

17. Cultural Landscapes Publication News
Finally, cultural landscape papers from the 2013 Canberra ICOMOS heritage symposium and ICOMOS conference event are published. The papers were presented at the symposium organised by the International Scientific Committees on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes titled Issues and Opportunities for Cultural Landscapes and Routes in the 21st Century and the Australia ICOMOS Conference Imagined pasts, Imagined Futures.
Australia ICOMOS Historic Environment, Imagined Cities and Urban Spaces, Volume 27 Number 1, 2015
This journal was first off the press and in this issue are 4 four papers from ISCCL members along with other national and International authors. As Canberra’s Centenary was the impetus for this heritage event, there is an fascinating scope of perspectives on imagined cities that includes youthful Canberra and the 2000 year old ancient central Beijing. Urban spaces is also a topic covering urban green systems, urban open spaces and Indigenous urban landscapes. The topical UNESCO HUL recommendations are discussed in 3 of the papers.
The journal is out in hard copy and will eventually be published on the Australia ICOMOS website.
Landscape Research Journal, Cultural Landscapes in the 21st Century – Issues and Opportunities, Volume 40, Issue 6, 2015
This special publication presents an arrangement of papers from mostly from international members of the ISC Symposium held as part of the ICOMOS Canberra heritage event. The papers cover rural landscapes in China, Sri Lanka, USA and Australia , landscapes of myth and ancient practice of Finland and Korea, and landscapes of Japan impacted by tragic disasters. Of special note is the paper on the landscape of Australia’s internationally acknowledged Burrup Peninsula, purported to be the world’s oldest and largest collection of rock art that the WA Government has shamefully deregistered from heritage listing.
The journal is expensive to purchase but hopefully the ISCCL and the NSC-CL & CR will receive copies of the papers that we can hold as a set on our websites.
