1. [NEW ITEM] News on the new Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee

Dear Members & Heritage Colleagues,

It is my great honour to have been re-elected to the role of President of Australia ICOMOS (AI) at Sunday’s incoming Executive Committee (EC) meeting. I am hugely grateful that the Committee has placed their confidence in me again to facilitate our organisation’s future achievements. This past year, we added two more Practice Notes to the existing suite – one on Cultural Routes and the other on Intangible Cultural Heritage & Place (see item 4 below), and for the first time in our history, we are as close as we have ever been to hosting an ICOMOS General Assembly – more on that in future newsletters!

I am delighted to announce the re-election of Mary Knaggs (NSW) as our new Vice-President, and that Michael Queale (SA) and Matthew Whincop (QLD) will serve as our new Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Bruce Dawbin (NSW), Edwina Jans (ACT), Wayne Johnson (NSW), Elizabeth Little (SA), Richard Mackay (NSW) and Lisa Sturis (WA) continue in their EC roles. We welcome new members Helen Lardner (VIC), Julian Siu (NSW), Flavia Kiperman (WA) and Adam Mornement (VIC). A special thanks to immediate past Secretary Anne McConnell (TAS) for her huge commitment to the role and to the EC in general. We are lucky that she hasn’t flown the coop yet! As ever, the AI Executive Committee is blessed with a wealth of skill and experience, and members can expect great things in the coming year.     

We thank outgoing EC members Robyn Clinch (VIC), Suzanne Bravery (NSW), Ian Wight (VIC) and Tanya Park (TAS) for their time on the EC and their very valuable respective contributions. A special thank you also due to immediate past Treasurer Ian Wight for his dedication to and engagement with the role he took on for three years!

To read about the activities of our organisation over the past year, download the 2016/2017 Annual Report.

I look forward to meeting you all again, or for the first time, before too long. Please do say ‘hi’ whenever the chance arises.  

With very best wishes,
Ian Travers (VIC)
President, Australia ICOMOS

2. [NEW ITEM] Aboriginal cultural heritage reforms (NSW): public consultation open

The NSW Government Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is seeking your views on a proposed new system for managing and conserving Aboriginal cultural heritage. It will be supported by a new legal framework that respects and conserves Aboriginal cultural heritage in New South Wales. 

The proposed new system responds to public feedback on a draft reform model released in September 2013. That feedback showed there was general support for the principles of the proposed model, but wide-ranging and often contrasting views on detailed design elements.

These diverse views and perspectives have been carefully considered, and are now proposing a new system. The proposed new system offers a transformative, contemporary and respectful vision for the management of Aboriginal cultural heritage in New South Wales. The system will be established by new legislation that will be released shortly.

The public consultation is open until early March 2018.

Historic Houses Association of Australia Inaugural Conference
5 & 6 April 2018 – Sydney

The conference is designed around lectures, panels and case studies. Delegates will hear from owners throughout Australia, selected experts and heritage specialists.

Full Program Available Now

Download the Brochure

Why a conference?

To an owner of an historic house it sometimes feels like ‘all obligation but no incentives’. Almost everyone who owns an historic house can tell a ‘war story’ of bureaucratic frustration, conditions that impose additional costs, delays, lack of information and demanding officialdom.

Over the past 30 years there has been enormous growth and complexity in the so called ‘heritage industry’. Owners can be bewildered and intimidated by this array of expertise and process. Yet it is the owners who are often on the receiving end of decisions that arise from these processes. The conference will hear from owners and others throughout Australia who will tell their own stories of successes, frustrations and failures. It will also hear from state and local governments and experts in the field about what support currently exists. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion.

About the Historic Houses Association of Australia

The Historic Houses Association of Australia was re-formed in 2014 to become a support agency for the owners of historic houses. This conference will have the needs of owners at its core. It expects the key issues that will emerge will be the need for technical and legal advice, tax concessions for owners, advice on commercial activities including tourism opportunities, collegiate support, and dissemination of information to create a new dynamic in the heritage sector.    

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Early bird bookings close 30 November 2017.

POST CONFERENCE OPTIONAL DAY TOUR – 7 APRIL 2018

The conference is to be followed by an Optional Day Tour visiting four historic houses in the Sydney region rarely open to the public. The Tour can be booked on its own or in conjunction with the conference. For those attending the conference the Tour will further demonstrate some of the issues raised. REGISTRATION AS ABOVE.
