3. [NEW ITEM] Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Melbourne, Wednesday 4 October
Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage Seminar will be a presentation by Boram Lee (University of Sterling, UK), on “The effect of collaboration on private giving”.
Abstract
In an increasingly unstable international social and political environment, the role of non-profit organisations intended to benefit ethnic communities has become much more critical, despite ongoing financial challenges due to funding cuts. Based on a case study of the Islamic Museum of Australia (IMA), we test the effect of inter-organisational collaboration with the aim of achieving social goals on private giving. Based on our survey results, we find that Muslims exhibit greater willingness-to-donate to the IMA than do non-Muslims, regardless of visitor status. Reflecting the crowding-out effect, those Muslims exposed to information on the inter-organisational collaboration exhibit lower willingness-to-donate than do other Muslims. We observe that Muslims allocated to the group receiving information on the current funding status of the IMA, in terms of not receiving regular funding from government, exhibit significantly higher willingness-to-donate than do other Muslims, confirming the potential scope for behavioural influences on fundraising.
Biography
Boram Lee is a Lecturer in Accounting and Finance, University of Stirling, UK. Her principal research specialisation is in the field of economics and finance with an emphasis on behavioural studies based on psychological approaches. After her doctorate in behavioural finance, which resulted in quality publications, such as one in the Journal of Banking and Finance, she has continued to develop her research interests into the areas of cultural valuation and public policy. She was one of the recipients of the 2014 UK Arts and Humanity Research Council Cultural Value Project Research Development Grant, and the project has resulted in several quality publications including one in the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly. Prior to her academic life, she managed international tours of highly respected theatre companies, worked as a producer at arts festivals, and participated in many visual art projects. Her professional involvement and life-long interest in theatre and the visual art sectors led her to her current active research interests in cultural and creative industries.
Date: Wednesday 4 October 2017
Time: 5.00pm
Venue: Deakin Downtown, 727 Collins St, Tower 2, Level 12
Venue Tip: Deakin’s new city centre campus is between Southern Cross Station and Docklands, on tram routes 11 and 48 (Stop D15). Entry is via Tower Two. The reception desk directs you to an escalator to a bank of lifts and Deakin Downtown is on Level 12.

12. Victorian Heritage Strategy – online survey invitation
The Heritage Council of Victoria is considering the feasibility of preparing a new ‘Victorian Heritage Strategy’. The previous strategy – Victoria’s Heritage: Strengthening Our Communities – operated between 2006 and 2010, but in the period since there have been significant changes, which provide the context for considering a new Heritage Strategy.
A first stage is the preparation of a ‘feasibility study’ to look at the opportunities, scope and implications for a new Victorian Heritage Strategy.
As part of this process, stakeholders in Victoria’s heritage are being invited to use this short survey to express opinions about a new heritage strategy – the merits, issues, opportunities and priorities at the outset of the feasibility assessment.
The survey can be accessed here and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. (Please note that it is best to avoid Internet Explorer or to ensure that internet settings are Google compatible).
Your comments by 30 September would be greatly appreciated.

15. Invitations from the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust
Harbour Trust Invites Community Feedback on Interpretation Strategy for Headland Park
The Harbour Trust is inviting the community and stakeholders to help share the rich history of Headland Park by providing feedback on its draft Interpretation Strategy for Headland Park. The Strategy aims to draw out various aspects of the site’s rich history and guide the addition of interpretative elements across the precinct that share this history.
Headland Park is one of Sydney’s most striking urban parklands, incorporating the former military sites at Chowder Bay, Georges Heights and Middle Head and connecting with Sydney Harbour National Park and Mosman Council reserves. It also has a rich Indigenous history. The urban parkland was first opened to the public in 2003 and has since become a thriving business park with a mix of commercial tenants, boutique cafes and art studios, and incorporates spectacular views of the harbour, bush tracks and recreation facilities.
“The Harbour Trust is developing an Interpretation Strategy to build on the existing heritage interpretation and further share the stories of the site’s Indigenous, military and submariner history as well as its modern history as an urban parkland,” said Harbour Trust CEO, Mary Darwell.
Harbour Trust Invites Volunteers to Join the Team at North Head Sanctuary
The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust is inviting local residents to join the team of volunteers who help restore, enrich and share North Head Sanctuary by joining the Harbour Trust’s volunteer team, and is currently recruiting for Visitor centre, tour guide and restoration volunteers.
North Head Sanctuary comprises more than 80 buildings set in 72 hectares of natural bushland, and is uniquely managed by the Harbour Trust in recognition of its precious natural and environmental values.
“The Harbour Trust is supported by an incredible team of 250 volunteers who play an essential role in the work of the Harbour Trust and across our sites,” said Harbour Trust CEO, Mary Darwell. “Last financial year our volunteers contributed more than 29,000 hours of support,” she said.
“Volunteering at the Harbour Trust is a rewarding experience, providing the opportunity to work at extraordinary sites, such as North Head Sanctuary,” said Ms Darwell.

24. TENDER OPPORTUNITY Wadjemup Aboriginal Burial Ground Project
Request for Tender – Wadjemup Aboriginal Burial Ground Project
The area now known as the Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) Aboriginal Burial Ground is a very significant place for the Aboriginal people of Western Australia. The site contains the remains of Aboriginal men and boys incarcerated on Rottnest Island during the Island’s use as an Aboriginal prion from 1838-1904, and subsequent forced labour camp for Aboriginal prisoners during the years following until 1931.
It is estimated that at least 370 of the approximately 4,000 men and boys who were imprisoned on the Island are buried at this site in unmarked graves.
In 2005-06, the Rottnest Island Authority (RIA) engaged a consultant to meet with Aboriginal community representatives throughout the Western Australian to determine how the community would like to see the burial ground recognised and conserved. From this consultation process a Concept Plan was developed that informs a three-phase conservation project.
Phase One, implemented in 2015, involved the removal of intrusive infrastructure; construction of a pathway around the perimeter and basic interpretation at the main entrance.
Phase Two will involve consultation with the Aboriginal community, development of a cohesive landscape and interpretation design and implementation of the works.
The Rottnest Foundation advertised a Request for Tender for the first part of Phase Two in The West Australian newspaper on 9 September 2017 and on their website. Details of who to contact for more information will be included in these advertisements.
Phase Three (yet to be funded) will involve commissioning Western Australian Aboriginal artists to design artworks that will be installed at the Burial Ground to represent the Aboriginal men and boys that lie buried at the site.
