With the commencement of the Heritage Act 2017, the Heritage Council of Victoria is seeking expressions of interest from experienced heritage practitioners to join the newly formed Heritage Fabric Committee. This committee will replace the Technical Advisory Committee, established under the old Act.
The role of the Heritage Fabric Committee is to provide technical advice to the Heritage Council on the conservation of heritage fabric including, but not limited to, buildings, structures and objects. Its specific objectives are to:
- provide best-practice advice to the Council on the conservation of heritage fabric and technical heritage practices
- proactively campaign for excellence in conservation across Victoria’s private and public sectors
- provide advice to the Council on the state of traditional trades in Victoria
- assist Council in reviewing technical guidelines and documents
The Committee will meet four times per year, unless extra meetings are needed for Council strategic project work or at the request of the Council.
Three members of the Heritage Council sit on the Committee. Expressions of interest are now being sought for up to eight positions on the Committee for non-Council members. The positions are strictly voluntary and membership will be reviewed annually. Priority will be given to heritage practitioners who live and work in Victoria, and who have extensive experience in one or more of the following fields: architecture, building, building surveying, engineering, heritage trades or materials conservation.
Expressions of interest must outline experience in heritage matters in the relevant field, include a CV and be submitted by 8 January 2018 to the Heritage Council of Victoria by email.

13. Call for EOI to join the National Scientific Committee on Rock Art
Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Rock Art (Australia) (NSCRAA) – Are you interested?
Recently, Australia ICOMOS approved the formation of this National Scientific Committee. It will support the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Rock Art (CAR) at a national level and in the Australian context.
CAR’s objective is to promote international co-operation and to provide advice to ICOMOS and to UNESCO organs including the World Heritage Committee on their activities in the field of rock art. CAR initiates and co-ordinates world-wide actions in favour of the knowledge, the protection and rehabilitation of humankind’s rock art heritage.
The objectives of our National Scientific Committee, in addition to supporting CAR’s objectives are:
1. To further the conservation and protection of Australian rock art, through the encouragement of a greater understanding of all the aspects of its significance (including scientific, social, aesthetic and historic) and through the application of best-practice, values-based conservation and management approaches;
2. To support Indigenous custodians of rock art to enable and facilitate their primary and active role in the interpretation, management, conservation and use of rock art sites;
3. To provide technical, scientific and conservation advice to Australia ICOMOS, the Australian Government and ICOMOS International on issues relating to Australian rock art, and where appropriate, to rock art in an international context; and
4. To provide a discussion forum for members in relation to contemporary issues and best practice relating to rock art documentation, research, management and conservation.
Through this activity NSCRAA seeks to discuss, study, promote, document, report on and above all encourage the conservation of Australian rock art. A basic principle governing all the activities of NSCRAA will be acknowledgement of the primary custodianship of the traditional owners of the rock art, and the importance of cooperative work with them, in accordance with their wishes.
Membership
Membership of NSCRAA is open to Australia ICOMOS members with an active interest in and/or whose professional practice touches on the area of rock art. Membership will initially draw on the Australian members of ICOMOS and can also include an invitation to members of ICOMOS National Committees in southeast Asia and the Pacific with similar interests – individuals who are members of National Committees other than Australia ICOMOS will be considered Affiliate members if they join the NSC.
NSCRAA will recognise and include the following types of membership:
A. (Expert) membership: Expert membership is open to Australia ICOMOS members with established expertise in the different spheres related to rock art. The term expert specifically includes Indigenous people with traditional knowledge, obligations, or interests in rock art and its conservation; and
B. Affiliate membership: Affiliate membership is open to individuals from outside Australia ICOMOS who are engaged in activities relevant to the objective of the NSC and who can contribute to the work of the NSC by bringing particular knowledge, expertise and/or experience to the group. Affiliate members do not have voting rights.
Where an Institution is a member of Australia ICOMOS, they may seek membership of the NSC via a suitably experienced or qualified staff member, who may join the NSC either as a Member (if they themselves are an Associate or Full member of Australia ICOMOS) or as an Affiliate member (if they are not a member of Australia ICOMOS in any category).
The membership when established will nominate and elect a NSCRAA coordinating committee, including a Convener, membership secretary and communications officer, as required. This coordinating committee will of necessity be required to make decisions and to provide advice on key issues on behalf of NSCRAA.
Meetings
NSCRAA will meet at a minimum once a year in person – but three times a year by telephone/Zoom meeting. Effort will be made to time face-to-face meetings to coincide with scheduled events with a relevance to rock art that are held in different locations around Australia. Other meetings may be held as necessary, in conjunction with Australia ICOMOS events, other events or by teleconference.
Business to be discussed at meetings will include:
- Reports and presentations related to the NSCRAA’s objectives and activities
- The program of activities and a realistic work plan for the coming calendar year
- Possible excursions or guest lectures
- Coordination with ISC meetings, Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee meetings, etc
- Review of communication methods
If you are interested in joining this Committee, which is in the process of being formally constituted, please email Prof Josephine McDonald or email Prof Sharon Sullivan.

18. Call for Papers: Change Over Time
Call for Papers: Change Over Time
LGBTQ Heritage | Spring 2019
Guest Editor: Ken Lustbader
In spite of the immense historic and cultural contributions of LGBTQ Americans, the LGBTQ community at large is among the least represented in our national, state, and local designation programs. To date, only eleven of the more than 92,000 sites on the National Register of Historic Places have been listed for their primary association with LGBTQ history. This underrepresentation has prevented effective advocacy and educational opportunities, leaving potentially significant sites and histories unappreciated, uncelebrated, and potentially endangered.
Over the past five years there has been growing recognition of the importance of LGBTQ place-based history by cultural heritage professionals, historians, and advocates. Place-based heritage provides a unique opportunity to illustrate the richness of LGBTQ history and the community’s contributions to American culture. Examples include historic sites associated with arts and architecture, important social centers such as bars and LGBTQ organization locations, places related to oppression and protest, and residences of notable figures.
This issue, published in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, will explore questions related to LGBTQ cultural heritage: What are the challenges in identifying an often invisible and, at times, transient and denied history? How can historians and preservationists ensure for diverse representation of LGBTQ communities? How does one address significance and architectural integrity when recognizing LGBTQ sites that are often architecturally undistinguished and frequently altered?
We welcome contributions from US and international contexts on a range of topics: researching and documenting LGBTQ place-based sites; exploring rural, urban, and suburban LGBTQ narratives; approaches for categorization of resource types and cultural significance; challenges related to official recognition of LGBTQ-related sites; and solutions for interpretation and educational opportunities.
Submissions may include case studies, theoretical explorations, evaluations of current practices, or presentations of arts- or web-based projects related to LGBTQ cultural heritage.
Abstracts of 200-300 words are due 5 January 2018. Authors will be notified of provisional paper acceptance by 19 January 2018. Final manuscript submissions will be due mid May 2018.
For information about the submission guidelines, visit this link.
