2. Call for EOI for the Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Working Group

Call for Australia ICOMOS members working or researching in the area of the impacts of climate change on cultural heritage places and values

The Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Working Group started off with great energy and enthusiasm arising out of a recommendation from the 2007 ICOMOS conference and following a survey of members on the issue. The role of this committee is to raise awareness of the issues relating to cultural heritage conservation arising from Climate Change both in the public and government sectors

The World Heritage Committee, the World Heritage Centre and the advisory bodies have all recognised the danger that climate change impacts pose for World Heritage places. In Australia several government departments have completed baseline studies considering the impact of climate change on heritage assets and coastal infrastructure.

It is timely now to refresh this working group and regalvanise the activities of Australia ICOMOS in relation to this important area. Our work plan is now out of date and developing a new agreed plan will be our first task. To that end we are calling for members who are either working or research active in this area or who have responsibilities for managing heritage places where climate change impacts are a concern.

If you are interested in being part of this working group please email Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy by COB 7 April and provide a brief account of your interest and experience with the topic. Working Groups members are expected to actively participate in the work of the committee so please ensure that you are willing and able to participate in at least 4 meetings per year and in taking on some activity in this area between meetings that will be needed to advance the work plan.

5. Australia ICOMOS VIC/TAS Mentoring Program – calling for Victorian and Tasmanian Members! & SAVE THE DATE for the launch event

Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in Victoria in 2012 following an earlier trial in the ACT, and it now runs in New South Wales and Victoria. The program supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students looking toward careers in heritage.

As the program has now run with enthusiastic responses from both mentors and mentees, we are very pleased to be offering it in Victoria and Tasmania for 2017.

When naming their favourite aspect of the program, the majority of previous mentors named the personal contact (we both learned from each other; refreshing to talk to the younger generation; good to know there is actually a pool of interested people; like the opportunity to help a new person into the profession), and almost all felt that they were able to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge and career prospects of their mentee. All respondents enjoyed it so much; they said they would be happy to do it again.

Students in heritage-related post-graduate programs at Deakin University, the University of Melbourne, Federation University and Latrobe University (based in Victoria), and Deakin off-campus students based in Tasmania will be invited to apply for the program.

We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we are hoping that all ICOMOS members based in Victoria and Tasmania will consider participating this year.

What is required?

While the mentoring arrangements will vary, we ask that mentors meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between May and October. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests. 


There will be a social event held in late April to introduce mentoring pairs. If you wish to be a mentor or a mentee, it is not essential to attend, although this is an easy way to meet and set up the first meeting, as well as networking with other students and colleagues. 


There will be a brief evaluation questionnaire distributed at the end of the year that we ask all participants to complete and return. 


How do I get involved as a MENTOR? 


If you would like to contribute to this valuable (and enjoyable) effort this year, and be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to Georgia Meros at the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by 17 April 2017.

Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience and current practice. This will assist the Mentoring Team in matching mentors and mentees. 


Mentors must be Full ICOMOS members, and can have professional experience in any sector of cultural heritage practice. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many students and mentors as possible. 


How do I get involved as a MENTEE? 


Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university. 


All applications must be received by the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by 17 April 2017. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many mentoring pairs as possible. 


When do we start? 


We will be matching students and mentors next month, and will launch this year’s program with an event in late April. More information about the launch will be sent to participants in the program.

We hope that all members based in Victoria or Tasmania will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support young professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

SAVE THE DATE for the launch event

Date/time/venue: 6pm, Wednesday 26 April, University of Melbourne

Participating Mentors and Mentees will be contacted with more details in due course.

Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in Victoria in 2012 following an earlier trial in the ACT, and it now runs in New South Wales and Victoria. The program supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students looking toward careers in heritage.

As the program has now run with enthusiastic responses from both mentors and mentees, we are very pleased to be offering it in New South Wales for 2017.

All respondents enjoyed it so much; they said they would be happy to do it again.

Students in heritage-related post-graduate programs at University of Sydney, and possibly the doctoral students working in heritage at Western Sydney University will be invited to apply for the program.

We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we are hoping that all ICOMOS members based in New South Wales will consider participating this year.

8. Increase in Australia ICOMOS membership fees

In recent years the Executive Committee (EC) has reviewed membership fees every three years to ensure that, at a minimum, these are increased to keep pace with inflation and to meet any changes in our cost structure. As it is three years since the last increase, fees are now due to be reviewed for the coming financial year.

This year the EC has approved an increase for Full International Membership of $27. Of this increase, $15 is to meet the total cost of inflation over the past three years. A further $7 is to meet the recent increase in our required contribution to ICOMOS international. The final $5 is to achieve a position where the membership subscription generally covers the day to day running costs of the organisation, a goal which has not been fully achieved more recently. Increases to other classes of membership will be in proportion to that for full membership. This increase will take effect from 1 July 2017. The new rates for all the membership categories are outlined below.

While the current EC cannot bind future ECs, it is a clear intention that there will be no further increase in fees in the next three years.

Ian Wight, Treasurer

9. Port Arthur Talks, Wednesday 12 April 2017

Thirty-nine men from Carnarvon
presented by Graham Speight

This is the story of the men from the Carnarvon (Port Arthur) district who went to fight in the Great War.

When war broke out 220 people lived in Carnarvon. Thirty-nine of their sons, husbands, fathers and brothers answered the call. Twenty-two of these men were not to return; another 13 were seriously wounded. The impact on the small town of Carnarvon was profound. 1917 was the bloodiest of the years in WWI and the Australians were in the thick of the fighting. We will track these local men through the war and focus on their whereabouts on this day 100 years ago.

Graham is a tour-guide at Port Arthur. He is actively involved with the Tasman Peninsula Historical Society and was one of those responsible for last year’s ‘Local Heroes’ exhibition. Graham has extensively researched the military history at Port Arthur and has written two articles on the topic for the ‘Tasman Peninsula Chronicle’.

When: Wednesday 12 April 2017 at 5.30pm

Where: Junior Medical Officer’s House Conference Room (the building at rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

17. Australia ICOMOS – Canberra Talk Series

Sustainable Heritage? How does sustaining Cultural Heritage relate to Sustainable Tourism?
A panel with Rachel Jackson, Penny Spoelder and a member of the Ngunnawal community

This year’s theme for 18 April – the ICOMOS International Day on Monuments and Sites – is Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism. This theme provokes various questions:

What is Sustainable Tourism when related to Cultural Heritage, what is ‘Sustainable Heritage? Is an emphasis on the economic viability of tourism a detriment to heritage? What are issues for maintaining a place’s heritage values, whether its physical form or a community’s intangible connections? The panel will present perspectives on these questions to be followed by a Q&A.

A member of the Ngunnawal community is expected to share how visiting Indigenous sites is both a positive experience for visitors, yet a potential risk and impact on cultural values and protocols.

Rachel Jackson, GML Heritage Principal actively promotes the importance of heritage in a sustainability context and is a member of ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for Energy and Sustainability, and the Australia ICOMOS national committee for this topic. Rachel specialises in heritage projects for complex heritage sites, with a focus on cultural landscape management, heritage sustainability and adaptive reuse. She has provided heritage advice for significant heritage places such as the Australian War Memorial, Old Parliament House, the Port Arthur Historic Site, and the Australian National University.

Penny Spoelder is the new Director of ACT Historic Places. Her work experience encompasses conservation planning and management and commercial use across Australia: at Kosciuszko alpine resorts, Goat Island, Quarantine Station North Head, and Fort Denison in Sydney, Port Arthur and Maria Island in Tasmania, the Houtman Abrolhos Islands in WA, and Fort Queenscliff, Victoria. She has also worked in New Zealand, the South Pacific, and for the UN in Mongolia.

See other discussions of this topic at the Australia ICOMOS website.

Refreshments are available! (A $5.00 donation is appreciated)

Date & Time: 5.00-7.00pm, Thursday 20 April 2017 – note 5.30pm start for talk

19. Heritage Week talk on Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club, 2 May, Sydney

TITLE: A history of cycling communities and the ‘Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club’ in Sydney, 1870s-2017

SYNOPSIS: Australian cycling historian Dr Marc Rerceretnam will speak about his recent academic publications examining the important role cycling clubs like the DHBC played in the Australian social landscape from the 1870s to present day.

As a case study the research will look at the Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club which has been part of the social fabric of the Inner West since 1908. It not only played a pivotal role in nurturing local sportspersons but acted as an active social network for all youngsters. For a century, the club cultivated a sense of community for many in the area and helped foster a creative and healthy outlet for many youngsters at a time when the Inner West was chock-a-block full of young boys and girls keen for fraternal guidance and healthy outdoor activity.

Date & time: 6.30pm, Tuesday 2 May 2017
Venue: Inner West Council’s Dulwich Hill Library
Register to attend free of charge

22. New appointments to Sydney Harbour Federation Trust – The Hon Josh Frydenberg 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 Josh Frydenberg MP, dated 5 April 2017.

I am pleased today to announce a series of important appointments to the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust. I welcome the appointment of Ms Mary Darwell as the new Executive Director of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, and the appointment of two new members of the Trust’s board.

Ms Darwell served as the Chief Executive of Arts NSW for eight years, and has worked with Infrastructure NSW to lead the development of NSW’s first Cultural Infrastructure Strategy. Ms Darwell brings a wealth of experience and deep commitment to Sydney and its infrastructure to managing some of Australia’s most iconic places.

Ms Jean Hay AM will be appointed to the Board of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust as Deputy Chair, along with Mr Garth Callender as a general member.

The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established to protect and improve public access to former defence sites around Sydney Harbour. Under the Act the Trust is governed by a Board of eight trustees.

Ms Hay is the former Mayor of Manly Council and is the Chair of the Northern Beaches Implementation Advisory Group. She has previously served on the Board as Deputy Chair and her appointment will provide continuity in the ongoing operation of the Trust.

Mr Callender is a former soldier with a distinguished military career. Mr Callender is currently working with the NSW Government on planning and delivering the Veterans Employment Program across the NSW public sector, and is also an Ambassador for Bravery Trust.

26. CyArk’s Photographer in Residence program 

CyArk visits amazing sites whose stories deserve to be told around the world. We live in a highly visual society. With the rise of social media and self-publishing, we have an unprecedented opportunity to share cultural heritage with a whole new audience.

Just this month, we launched the Photographer in Residence program to complement and bring a photographer’s eye to our rigorous documentation process.

We have selected award winning photographer, Kieran Kesner, from a vast pool of over 200 applicants to serve as the first of these Photographer-Explorers over the next six months. He has done some incredible work for the New York Times, National Geographic, and NPR just to name a few. We are thrilled to have him.

Kieran joined us in the office this month for a crash course in digital preservation. While he was in town, we sat down for a quick interview to learn more about his impressive career so far and what drew him to the photographer in residence role. Check out Kieran’s Portfolio here.

Kieran will be joining our field teams over the next six months to document the process and help us share the compelling yet unknown stories of these incredible places. We have some exciting projects lined up for the summer and fall from South East Asia to the Americas and Eastern Europe; 2017 promises to be a busy one thanks to the support of all our donors! We are even planning to dive into the archive and dig up some of our favorite historic projects and breathe new life into them.
