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. Australia ICOMOS NSW Heritage Symposium 2016 – registrations open

Australia ICOMOS is pleased to announce a One Day Heritage Symposium
‘Heritage in Context and Contention’
to be held on 19 February 2016, 8.30am to 4.30pm

The Symposium has been curated by Australia ICOMOS volunteer Kate Higgins and is particularly relevant to heritage practice at a local government level. There are two broad themes:

  • Contention: Realising good heritage outcomes within a contentious statutory environment. Case studies will be used together with an insight into the NSW Land and Environment Court. There will be at least 4 speakers on the Contention theme ending with a Q & A forum. At this stage speakers include Susan O’Neill (Commissioner, NSW Land and Environment Court), David Logan (GML Heritage), Mary-Lyne Taylor (Bartier Perry Lawyers) and Julie Walsh (Pikes and Verekers Lawyers).
  • Context: The important role heritage plays in creating liveable and delightful cities, towns and landscapes. Case studies will illustrate how this has been an can be achieved, with reference also to lost opportunities and lessons learnt. Again there will be at least 4 speakers ending with a Q & A forum. At this stage speakers include local council urban designers, Jan McCredie and Kate Napier.

The Symposium will provide a deeper understanding of heritage issues associated with the NSW Land and Environment Court (mirrored in similar statutory dispute bodies in most states and territories) and with urban design will provide an opportunity for advancing heritage conservation standards in Australia.

The final program for the Symposium including speaker biographies will be uploaded in the coming weeks. Updates will be emailed to those already registered. We are also working toward making this a CPD event for the various professions.

The symposium is being held in the McKell Building** courtesy of the NSW Government Architect’s Office, which celebrates 200 years of operation in 2016.

**Level 4 Conference Room, McKell Building, 2-24 Rawson Place, Sydney (diagonally opposite the Central Railway Station Clocktower)

Registration for this event is now open – places limited to 60 registrants

Cost: Australia ICOMOS members and students – $100, non-members – $130

7. Draft Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy & Park Lands Events Management Plan – public consultations

The Adelaide Park Lands Authority is pleased to release the draft Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy which sets the new vision for the future of the Park Lands. This vision responds to the ideas generated by the public through the Shape the Park Lands campaign held earlier this year, and extensive engagement with the State Government and Inner Rim Councils.

The draft Strategy aims to increase the quality and diversity of places and spaces across the Park Lands and to improve walking and cycling connections between the City and suburbs and between parks. This will help further increase the value people place on the Park Lands and their use of them. The Strategy responds to the City and inner metropolitan growth agenda and proposes enhancements which will support a growth in utilisation of the Park Lands by 15% by 2020 – from current 10 million visits per year to around 11.5 million.

Public consultation on the Strategy will open on 1 February 2016.

Have your say on the draft Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy

Comments on the Strategy must be received by 5pm Friday 26 February 2016. 

Consultation to create a Park Lands Events Management Plan

We are also seeking your feedback in helping us create a Park Lands Events Management Plan. This document will be a guide to manage events in the Park Lands over the next 4 years. To help create the Plan, we are seeking input from the community and have created specific questions for Event Organisers and the General Public. Consultation closes 5pm, Friday 18 December 2015. A Plan will be developed for consultation in early 2016.

8. Australia ICOMOS LinkedIn group

Australia ICOMOS (AI) has created a LinkedIn group to provide a forum for Australia ICOMOS (AI) members and other experienced heritage managers (including future members we hope!) to discuss the conservation and management of heritage places, in particular within Australia and the Pacific region. 

In line with the goals of AI, of particular interest are discussions around raising standards, promoting understanding – including influencing decision makers, and generating innovative ideas. The timing of this group reflects that we are keen to build on the momentum generated by the most recent AI conference in Adelaide. 

AI members on LinkedIn are encouraged to apply for membership of the group here.

The group is administered by AI Vice President Ian Travers and members Diana Cowie and Flavia Kiperman and overseen by the AI Executive Committee.

All financial members of AI will be admitted as a matter of course.

For AI members who do not have a LinkedIn account but would like to join, a basic account can be set up for free via the LinkedIn homepage.

22. Urban Growth Boundary must be supported – Conservation Council SA 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 Conservation Council SA, dated 9 December 2015.

The SA Parliament must protect the urban growth boundary, which would stop the over development of prime agricultural land in the Adelaide hills and foothills, says the state’s peak environment body.

The move has been blocked in the state’s Upper House during current debate on the Planning, Development & Infrastructure Bill 2015.

“South Australia has precious little agricultural land left with good soil and decent rainfall close to urban areas,” said Conservation SA Chief Executive Craig Wilkins. 

“With over 80% of South Australia arid land, it’s smart planning policy to stop housing and bitumen covering over the best agricultural land close to Adelaide we have left.

“For Adelaide to sustainably feed itself in the future, it needs to preserve the best food producing land on its fringes.

“A house is not affordable if it’s so far away from jobs and services that a big part of your pay packet goes on fuel,” he said.

The SA Government has prematurely forced debate on the wide-ranging planning reform bill in the Upper House.

“Unfortunately we are now seeing the consequences of Minister Rau’s determination to rush the Planning Bill through the Upper House before Christmas. Members of the Upper House appear to be reacting against his push and it is the productive land around Adelaide that will pay the price,” said Mr Wilkins.

“But even at this late stage, Minister Rau can still get things back on track if he is prepared to pause the debate and really work to get support from the SA community and the whole Parliament,” he said.
