4. [NEW ITEM] Webinar: The National Trust’s 75 Years of Landscape Heritage Conservation, 24 February, 7pm AEDT
The Australian Garden History Society (AGHS)’s Sydney Branch invites you to a webinar by Graham Quint, Director, Conservation with the National Trust of Australia (NSW). He will speak on the work of the Trust over the 75 years since its establishment, concentrating on Landscape Heritage Conservation including its Bush Management Program, listing of landscapes, parks and gardens on the Trust Register and advocacy to protect these places.
The Trust has listed hundreds of landscape, parks and gardens on its Register, commencing with its first listing of the Botany Bay Entrance Landscape Conservation Area in 1974. This area could now be threatened by a proposal to construct a new cruise ship terminal at Yarra/Frenchman’s Bay.
Graham was involved in one of the Trust’s most memorable campaigns, working with community groups to save the Holsworthy Landscape from an international airport proposal.
Other Trust projects outlined in the talk will be the Lugarno and Mudgee Tree Studies and a survey of 198 NSW Coastal Headlands prepared for the NSW Coastal Council.
The talk will also include references to Graham’s work as a nurseryman propagating plants for Council tree give-away programs and the work of an early “bush-care” group in the 1970s – the Lime Kiln Bay Preservation Society, and his preparation of concept designs for a wetland project at Lime Kiln Bay, the Hurstville Indigenous Trees Project at Gannons Park and a rainforest tree arboretum at Peakhurst West Public School.
A bit more on Graham Quint
Graham commenced work with the National Trust (NSW) in 1981 and in those early years his time was divided equally between carrying out vegetation surveys for the Trust’s newly established Bush Regeneration Program and working with the Trust’s Coastal Conservation Committee. In the years before Graham’s retirement he was the Director, Conservation for the Trust, in charge of the National Trust Register and the preparation of the Trust’s submissions on developments and government legislation/policies impacting on heritage conservation. He has worked closely with the Trust’s Landscape, Built Heritage, Industrial Heritage and Cemetery Committees and was the Trust’s nominee on the NSW Heritage Council in the 1990s.
When: Wednesday 24 February 2021, 7pm AEDT | you may join the call from 6:45pm onwards for 7pm start
Where: Digital Webinar via Zoom
Cost: $10 AGHS members; $15 non-members; students $5

7. [NEW ITEM] Historic Sydney precinct joins National Heritage List – joint media release, Hon Sussan Ley MP, Minister for the Environment & The Hon Don Harwin MP, NSW Minister for the Arts
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following jpint media release from the Hon Sussan Ley MP, Minister for the Environment & The Hon Don Harwin MP, NSW Minister for the Arts, dated 10 February 2021.
A slice of Sydney’s historic parks, gardens, streets, and buildings dating to the first several decades of British settlement and associated with several people of importance in Australia’s cultural history including Bennelong, Governors Phillip and Macquarie and Francis Greenway has been added to Australia’s National Heritage List.
The 100 hectare site on the eastern side of Sydney’s Central Business District known as Governors’ Domain and Civic Precinct covers the First Government House site, Hyde Park Barracks, the Conservatorium of Music (former government stables), the Mint and Parliament House (former Rum Hospital), Hyde Park, the Domain, Macquarie Place and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said the precinct contains a rich collection of historic and archaeological sites representing important milestones in our national history.
“Governors’ Domain and Civic Precinct is a layered landscape which can vividly show how the area has evolved over time, from its earliest use by Aboriginal people through to its role as a penal colony and early European settlement, and vibrant modern city,” Minister Ley said.
“For the first several decades after the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Aboriginal people and colonisers lived in close proximity, establishing relationships with each other within a wider story of Indigenous contact and colonisation.
“The precinct depicts a society in transition and its range of archaeological assets provide a rare and valuable source of research into Australia’s early colonial history.
“Among the treasures are Australia’s first hospital, Parliament and civic institutions, public parks, gardens and places of worship that ultimately helped to cultivate Australia’s independence from Britain.”
NSW Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said, “many individual places within the precinct are already state listed, however National Heritage listing unites the shared history and better links the buildings as a heritage precinct.”
Nominations for new National Heritage listings are currently open until 25 February 2021 and Minister Ley has asked the Australian Heritage Council to prioritise Indigenous cultural heritage for the upcoming assessment period.
“Our First Nations people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, and I want to see more places listed for their Indigenous values,” Minister Ley added.
The National Heritage List recognises and protects places that reflect our unique landscapes, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and our development as a nation. Each year, more places are included on the List as our national story unfolds and understanding of our heritage deepens.

Online BarCamp: “Diversify Heritage”, 27 February 2021 – register by 20 February
Monuments mostly reflect a white, male, heterosexual past shaped by power politics. Large parts of our heritage landscape therefore reflect an understanding of the world and an image of history that do not correspond to today’s ideas of a pluralistic and transcultural society. How do we deal with the inherited representations of outdated values? How can the cultural identity of previously discriminated against or underrepresented groups be taken into account? This BarCamp asks for new visions for a diverse and anti-discriminatory heritage practice of the future.
How a BarCamp works? All participants design the event together at the beginning and then discuss contemporary forms of cultural heritage with each other in workshops, lectures, discussion rounds or other formats. Get involved and make your ideas the topic of the online BarCamp Diversify Heritage!
You can register until 20 February 2021 via this email address.

Berlin State Monument Office’s study award – applications close 15 February 2021
The Berlin monument landscape is as diverse as the city: modern settlements and old village centers, intimate house gardens and extensive public parks, mixed Wilhelminian style quarters and wealthy villa suburbs, technical infrastructures and globally operating industries, world-famous icons of modernity and sensational archaeological finds. The forms of occupation within are as diverse as the monument landscape: building and urban historical research, renovations and conversions in line with historic monuments, participation offers and mediation tasks are important foundations of Berlin monument preservation.
The Berlin State Monument Office’s study award recognizes and promotes employment at universities and colleges with the Berlin monument landscape. It is awarded annually on the occasion of the Berlin Monument Day for outstanding bachelor and master theses that relate to the Berlin monument landscape and deal with topics relevant to Berlin monument preservation.
Students at all universities and technical colleges in Germany and abroad are eligible to participate. There is no restriction to certain disciplines or subject areas such as art history, monument preservation, architecture, garden architecture, restoration or archeology. The only decisive factor is the thematic focus of the thesis.
The Berlin State Monuments Office’s study award is awarded to up to three Bachelor or Master theses each year. Each prize is worth 1,000 euros. The Berlin State Monuments Office decides on the awarding of the prizes.
Please note: Bachelor and master theses that have been completed and assessed at a university or technical college within a period of up to two years prior to the award of the study prize are eligible. For the 2021 study prize, this corresponds to the period from 01/01/2019 to 15/02/2021.
The deadline for submissions is 15 February 2021.
Editorial note: the above text was translated from German using Google Translate with minimal editing, and is originally from this website.
The submissions can be made in German and English version. Since the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin only has the necessary documents as German downloads, eligible and interested students should send any queries to this email address.

The ultimate goal of the program since its inception has been to improve human well-being through cultural heritage preservation.
The 2022 cycle of the Watch is taking place amidst circumstances that have revealed the profound interconnectedness of our world. Together, we can innovate to create a more harmonious world where the past and present cohabitate, where local communities and their cultural heritage are recognized and respected, and where we and future generations have the capacity to appreciate our history, respect our differences, and better understand each other.
We are looking for nominations with clear potential to respond to the global need to ensure equitable representation for all, and the pressing challenges of climate change and imbalanced tourism.

The programme further aims to develop research capacity, foster new collaborations and initiatives, and raise awareness and appreciation of wooden architecture around the world.
The role of the Programme Manager is to ensure the smooth running of the programme and to ensure that the programme objectives, tasks and deliverables are met within the defined timetable and budget. Specifically, the Programme Manager will be responsible for developing and implementing a rigorous grant application system, maintaining regular contact with grantees, and supporting the transfer of project data into the Arches database.
The Programme Manager will assist with the development, maintenance and enhancement of the programme data management plan and metadata field structure, and develop, implement and manage an online training programme for grantees. On a day-to-day basis, the Programme Manager will be responsible for managing the programme’s administration, budget and finances, publicity and media strategy.
This is a full-time, fixed-term appointment for 5 years starting on 1 June 2021.
