1. [NEW ITEM] Vale Henry Cleere – former ICOMOS World Heritage Coordinator

We have just learned that Henry Cleere died aged 92 on 23 August. Henry, as many Australia ICOMOS members know, had a major role as World Heritage Coordinator for ICOMOS from 1992 to 2002, based at the ICOMOS Secretariat in Paris – before the ICOMOS World Heritage Working Group and the ICOMOS World Heritage Panel were established. 

Prior to that Henry was a member of ICOMOS-UK and on the ICOMOS Board from 1981 to 1990. At the 18th ICOMOS General Assembly in Florence in 2014, Henry Cleere was awarded the Gazzola Prize for his contribution with distinction to the aims and objectives of ICOMOS.

An archaeologist, Henry also had a major role in establishing the ISC on Archaeological Heritage Management (ICAHM), and the resultant 1990 Lausanne Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage.  

Some of the comments to date from Australia ICOMOS members who heard of his death on 30 August include:

  • Joan Domicelj, who was Vice President on the ICOMOS Board from 1990 to 1996 and shared key World Heritage roles at the time, including with Henry, including the Nara Conference on Authenticity, and tackling the ‘gaps in the register’ world heritage work resulting in the Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and Credible World Heritage List, in 1994: Henry’s knowledge of sites was formidable – he had one of those amazing filing system minds. That is such an asset for comparative evaluations.
  • Sarah Titchen, who worked at UNESCO’s World Heritage Secretariat for some years: I particularly remember Henry’s visit to Australia (late 80s/early 90s) and the seminars he gave about the composition of the World Heritage List. Later on he provided valuable feedback as one of my PhD examiners. 
  • Marilyn Truscott: I remember his input in 1987 at the 8th ICOMOS General Assembly in Washington DC, when as the Australian representative for ICAHM and while drafting the Lausanne charter, he agreed with Australia ICOMOS that ‘other elements of the archaeological heritage constitute part of the living traditions of indigenous peoples, and for such sites and monuments the participation of local cultural groups is essential for their protection and preservation’ should be included—the final Charter was then adopted at the 9th ICOMOS General Assembly in Lausanne in 1990. I also appreciated his company in 2000 when I spent 6 months on long service leave at the ICOMOS Secretariat volunteering my time editing the first Heritage @ Risk report, and our energetic discussions on the broadening of the understanding of World Heritage, including criterion (vi).

More about his contribution to ICOMOS, archaeological heritage and World Heritage is available on the ICOMOS-UK website and the ICAHM website. World heritage expert Christina Cameron M.ICOMOS (Canada), now at the University of Montreal, has shared with us Henry’s views on a number of World Heritage issues in a 2007 interview that can be found at this link.

Text prepared by Marilyn Truscott with Joan Domicelj.

Australia ICOMOS offers its deepest condolences to Henry’s family, friends and colleagues.

6. [NEW ITEM] Port Arthur Talk, 20 September 2018

Shoot, Catalogue, Eat: Interacting with Nature at a Tasmanian Penal Station
presented by Dr Richard Tuffin and Dr Caitlin Vertigan

The early history of the Port Arthur penal station (1830-77) was filled with scientific exploration that manifested in a variety of ways that we would consider somewhat outside the accepted scientific regime. Drs Vertigan and Tuffin will discuss some of the early and lesser known scientific work undertaken at the settlement, their (sometimes questionable) methods of collection, and how the knowledge gained then continues to influence both the scientific and historical fields today.

Caitlin Vertigan has a multidisciplinary background that spans formal qualifications in ecology, zoology, botany, and Antarctic science, as well as many years working in historic cultural heritage and tourism. She is currently responsible for overseeing the complex management of the natural environment administered by the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority, navigating the (not always complementary) interplay of cultural and natural values.

Richard Tuffin has worked as a Historical Archaeologist in Australia, the Pacific and the UK. Having worked for the Port Arthur Historic Site, followed by a stint as a commercial archaeologist, he is now attached to an Australian Research Council grant as a Research Fellow with the University of New England. His primary area of interest is the archaeology and history of the Australian convict system.

When: Tuesday 20 September 2018 at 5.30pm

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

8. [NEW ITEM] Seeking volunteer assistance with the conservation of the Tourism Building in Yangon, Myanmar

Leila Allbrook is currently volunteering (through Australian Volunteers International) to assist with the conservation of the Tourism Building in Yangon, Myanmar. Yangon is full of the most wonderful colonial buildings and there is a great need for expertise to assist with their conservation.

Leila has asked if there is anyone in Australia who might be able, in a voluntary capacity, to assist with the urban planning/landscape issues associated with the Tourism Building. She notes “there is a real shortage of urban planning, traffic engineers and landscapers that could consolidate the information. Therefore an opportunity to engage more broadly and run this as a training workshop with the Association of Myanmar Architects, Engineers, technical colleges, YCDC etc would be great”.

Newsletter readers who know of someone in their networks who may be interested in assisting, or know of someone planning to visit Myanmar and may be able to work such a project into their visit, please contact Leila directly by email.

REGISTRATION OPEN! Tasmanian Heritage Symposia: Exploring Cultural Landscapes & Science Heritage, 9-12 November 2018

Australia ICOMOS Heritage Symposia
Exploring Cultural Landscapes And Science Heritage
Initial Information & Call For Papers
Hobart, Tasmania, November 2018

Australia ICOMOS is holding two back-to-back Symposia in Hobart over 10-12 November 2018. The Cultural Landscape Diversity & the Implications for Management Symposium (10-11 November) and the Under the Microscope – Exploring Science Heritage Symposium (11-12 November) are timely fora to review and discuss the identification and management of these two aspects of cultural heritage – one an established, but rapidly developing area, and the other relatively invisible and little known.

  • Cultural Landscape Diversity & the Implications for Management Symposium – this symposium is aimed at exploring the diversity of cultural landscapes and what this diversity means for the identification, categorisation, assessment and management of cultural landscapes. It is intended as an opportunity to review where Australia is at in relation to the conservation of cultural landscapes, and to explore how best practice in this area can be maintained into the future.
  • Under the Microscope – Exploring Science Heritage Symposium – this symposium will shine light on the physical heritage of Australia’s long history of science and innovation and the identification and conservation of this ‘science heritage’. It is designed to be a multidisciplinary dialogue that explores the heritage of Australian science, including what science heritage is, what significant science heritage we have in Australia, and whether there are particular management needs for the conservation of this heritage.

The symposia are open to all people with an interest in cultural landscapes and/or science heritage. Each symposium will be a combination of presented papers with opportunities for discussion of the issues raised and the implications and needs for heritage conservation. A joint symposia field excursion on Sunday 11 November will present symposia participants with the opportunity to visit some outstanding and diverse Tasmanian cultural landscapes and science heritage sites within southeastern Tasmania.

More information on the two symposia (including the full call for papers) can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

Additional events

The Australia ICOMOS 2018 AGM will be held on Friday 9 November in the late afternoon; and the NSC-CLCR annual meeting will be held on Saturday 10 November immediately following the Cultural Landscapes Symposium. Members are encouraged to also attend these events.

The symposia registration fees are:

  • Cultural Landscapes Symposium – $85 per person
  • Science Heritage Symposium – $85 per person
  • Joint Symposia Excursion**^^ – $95 per person

**Please Note – registration for the Symposia Excursion is only open to individuals who also register for either/both of the symposiums.

^^Exception – All symposium registrants are able to nominate one accompanying person, who doesn’t need to register for either of the Symposia, for the Joint Field Excursion. Payment arrangements for this will be finalised shortly. If this applies to you, please send a brief explanatory email to Anne McConnell and we will contact you in due course.

Registrations are now open – click here to register

Call for papers

We are now calling for papers for presentation at the Symposium. The deadline for submissions is Monday 8 October (for Science Heritage papers) & Monday 15 October (for Cultural Landscape papers) . Submissions should be sent to the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email, and should include the presenter’s name, contact details and affiliation, and an abstract of no more than 250 words of your proposed paper. The full call for papers can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

This is a rare opportunity to discuss cultural heritage in a Tasmanian setting and to visit some special and unusual Tasmanian heritage places. We welcome your participation.

If you have any queries about the symposia, please contact the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email.

Nicholas Jose presents: UQP Makes History – a personal reflection, 31 August, Brisbane

In this 70th anniversary year of the University of Queensland Press (UQP), please join author Nicholas Jose as he presents the annual Fryer Lecture in Australian Literature, entitled “UQP makes history: a personal reflection”.

Great publishers make history through the books they produce. The list of work published by UQP allows us to chart the literary history of the past 70 years, revealing the changing contours of that history in response to developments in Australian culture and society.

When considering his formation as a reader, writer, and thinker, Nicholas Jose recalls UQP titles that marked the way, from Ian Fairweather’s The Drunken Buddha (1965) to Alexis Wright’s Plains of Promise (1997), and the “Paperback Poets” of the 1970s to Julie Koh’s Portable Curiosities (2016).

The UQP archive, held in the Fryer Library, enhances that history, including through what it documents of Jose’s first book, The Possession of Amber. His most recent story, ‘Beetroot’, appears in UQP’s 70th anniversary anthology Reading the Landscape: a celebration of Australian Writing (2018).

The Trust Talks – Beauty or the Beast? Communicating the Value of Twentieth Century Heritage, Brisbane, 18 October 2018

THE TRUST TALKS – Beauty or the Beast? Communicating the Value of Twentieth Century Heritage

THE TOPIC

Join us for an evening of inspiring talks by international experts on modernist heritage as we examine the value of this much-maligned aspect of our heritage.

Queensland’s twentieth century heritage is rapidly disappearing – places from the modernist era struggle to even gain statutory listing. A lack of appreciation and understanding is hindering our efforts to gain recognition for these places.

In this environment, how should we communicate the value of a type of building that many people find ugly or unattractive – more importantly – if we can’t communicate this value, how can we expect people to appreciate it or protect it?

THE NIGHT

Thursday 18 October 2018
5pm drinks & canapes
6pm start
7.30pm finish
Ticket price includes drinks and canapes on arrival and a gift bag

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja, 25 October, NSW

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja
Presented by the Australian Garden History Society, Southern Highlands Branch
Thursday 25 October 2018

Australian Garden History Society Southern Highlands Branch are pleased to present a symposium to be held in an evocative state-heritage area, Joadja Creek valley, 30kms west of Mittagong, the location of an abandoned nineteenth-century kerosene and shale oil mining town. The site is recognised for its heritage significance:

‘The isolation and beauty of Joadja valley, the comprehensiveness of its physical testimony to a great Australian industry, a vigorous Scottish community and a vanished technology make Joadja an extremely important element in the heritage not just of Wingecarribee Shire but of Australia and the world.’ – State Heritage Register Statement of Significance.

After a Welcome to Country by Gundungurra Elder, Trish Levett, a barbeque lunch will be provided on arrival in the valley. Owner Valero Jiminez and historian, Leonie Knapman, will take you on a tour of the valley including the ruins, the retorts, ‘Carrington Row’ and former orchards. Discussion will continue in the distillery café, led by Professor Emeritus Helen Armstrong AM. The particular focus will be on time and conflicting narratives of ‘gardening’ in the broader landscape. Dr Charles Massey OAM, author of ‘Call of the Reed Warbler’, will bring his deep knowledge of regenerative attitudes to land.

Bookings
Individual $150
Students: $70

Draft State Planning Policies released for consultation (SA) – deadline 7 September 2018

The draft State Planning Policies, which represent the highest level of policy in our new planning system, have now been released for consultation. The policies will be out for consultation for eight weeks and all interested parties are invited to submit their comments via the SA Planning Portal or YourSAy website by Friday 7 September 2018.

A Summary of the Draft State Planning Policies for South Australia (PDF) is also available.

The draft State Planning Policies set out for the first time a state-wide vision for land use planning in South Australia that aims to improve the liveability, sustainability and prosperity of our state.

Sixteen policies are laid out that address the economic, environmental and social planning priorities for South Australia.

These policies consider changes to how and where South Australians live and work, as well as important issues such as housing supply and diversity; design quality; the adaptive re-use of buildings; climate change; and strategic transport infrastructure.

By bringing South Australia’s planning interests together in a single, over-arching vision, the State Planning Policies will generate greater clarity and efficiency in our planning system and give us the direction we need to respond to modern opportunities and challenges.

Your input will ensure that the State Planning Policies reflect the aspirations of the planning and development community as well as everyday South Australians.

In keeping with the Community Engagement Charter, a detailed communications and engagement plan has been written to support the release of these policies and a number of engagement activities are in progress. You can stay abreast of these through the Planning Ahead newsletter and the list of consultation events on the SA Planning Portal.
