2. NSC on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes 2016 meeting: 18-20 March
Planning is well underway for the annual NSC meeting this time in Lithgow (north of Canberra).
The focus of the meeting is the challenge of heritage that is more than simply a single place for example the layers of industrial landscapes in Lithgow and the routes from Sydney over the mountains. Such heritage poses challenges for an identification and management system that works on a place level.
Commencing Friday evening there will be a (self-funded) get together meal. On Saturday Ray Christison and Iain Stuart will be conducting a guided drive/walk commending at 9 am to be followed by a meeting, lunch, presentations and discussion/workshop about the issues, hosted at the State Mine Site in Lithgow.
On Sunday there will be self-drive tour industrial and historic route options.
A flyer with more details will be out in January but in the meantime mark this event in your 2016 calendar.

3. US/ICOMOS 2016 International Exchange Program – call for applicants
US/ICOMOS expects to support a number of internships overseas and within the United States in historic preservation during the course of 2016. This program provides unparalleled opportunities for preservationists early in their careers to gain hands-on experience in a country other than their own. The program is geared toward those nearing the end of graduate school or with 1-3 years of professional experience. Placements are made by matching the skills/experience of each applicant with the needs of each host organization.
Prospective Interns
Application procedures can be found on the Intern section of the US/ICOMOS website.
2016 Program Schedule
The program schedule for 2016 has not yet been updated on the webpage, however this is expected in the near future. The 2015 schedule is outlined below and can be used as a guide for the likely 2016 schedule.
Interns are selected on a competitive basis for participation in the US/ICOMOS International Exchange Program. Internships are approximately 12 weeks in length (including orientation and the final program) and are usually held during the summer (from June to August), although some internships may be held at other times of the year. US/ICOMOS hosts all US and international interns for a program orientation in Washington, DC at the beginning of the summer. Interns then disperse to their various host organizations where they complete a preservation-related project designed by the host organization. At the end of the summer, all interns reconvene in Washington, DC for a final farewell program.
2015 Schedule
The program schedule for 2015 is set as follows (subject to minor variations in accordance with host organization schedules):
- Late January / early February – Applications from prospective interns due to US/ICOMOS
- Late May / early June – Intern orientation in Washington, DC
- June – August – Duration of summer Internships
- Mid-August – Final program for summer Interns and orientation for fall interns
Program Overview
Since the US/ICOMOS International Exchange Program was created in 1984, more than 600 young preservation professionals and over 70 countries have participated. The aim of the program is to promote an understanding of international preservation policies, methods, and techniques and to enable interns to make professional contacts and form personal friendships that will ensure a continuing dialogue between countries.
The program began with a one-time exchange between US/ICOMOS and ICOMOS United Kingdom. It since has expanded to involve between 10 and 20 preservation professionals annually depending on the level of funding available. US/ICOMOS is always looking for preservation organizations both in the U.S. and abroad to host interns and participate in this exciting program of cultural exchange. The program is made possible through generous grants from many US foundations, government agencies and individual contributors, and ICOMOS National Committees of participating.
For more information, click here or email Brian Lione.
PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS FROM AUSTRALIA PLEASE NOTE:
Applications must be made by nomination through Australia ICOMOS. Nominations will be confirmed by January 2016. We regret the awkward timing of the call and US ICOMOS is aware of the problem.
Applicants must be financial members of Australia ICOMOS – please note that both Full and Associate members of Australia ICOMOS can apply to this program – and have adequate experience and the clear opportunity to travel in the middle of the year.

In recognising the role that urban heritage plays as a social, cultural and economic asset in the development of cities, Ballarat was the first Australian city to join an international pilot program to implement UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) in September 2013. The HUL program vision is to help Ballarat grow without compromising its heritage. Working within the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation at Federation University Australia the project will build on the existing interoperable technologies to federate HUL information, data and databases for the City of Ballarat. The research will focus on developing visualisation tools capable of dynamically modelling data in international open standards format, being consumed from interoperable systems. The tools will be built upon software projects fostered and supported by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation and use open data standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

16. Planning Scheme Amendment C245 Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal – submissions invited
Provide your submission by 4 December 2015
The City of Melbourne has prepared Planning Scheme Amendment C245 Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal. This proposed amendment to the planning controls would change how the use and development of the Queen Victoria Market precinct can occur.
The current built form controls for the area surrounding the Queen Victoria Market were created some years ago. Since they were introduced, the city has undergone significant change and development controls need to be updated to recognize that the market precinct is now very much a part of the central city.
Planning Scheme Amendment C245 will help guide the use, development and protection of the Queen Victoria Market precinct, based on current and future needs. The proposed amendment will also allow the City of Melbourne to realise the vision outlined in the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal Master Plan and meet our obligations set out in the agreement with the State Government for the future of the site.
Visit Participate Melbourne to view a copy of the documentation for Planning Scheme Amendment C245.

18. Rottnest Island/Wadjemup Cultural Landscape Management Plan
The Rottnest Island/Wadjemup Cultural Landscape Management Plan sets out the outstanding heritage values of Rottnest Island/Wadjemup as a cultural landscape and makes recommendations for the protection and enhancement of those values into the future. It builds on the previous studies that have identified the values of various elements of the Island, but is distinguished by the consideration of the Island as an interacting and evolving whole, which has not been studied in any holistic way until now.
TPG’s Nerida Moredoundt and Bryn Coldrick of Amergin Consulting were the primary authors of the plan with expert advice provided by Dr Jane Lennon (Jane Lennon and Associates) and Dr Edward McDonald (Ethnosciences).
The CLMP supports the Rottnest Island Management Plan (RIMP 2015-2019) and will guide the Rottnest Island Authority’s work in ensuring Rottnest Island’s outstanding heritage values are recognised, protected and made accessible.
