    Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

    191 RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ON WOLSTON AND NEWSTEAD HOUSE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS [By SIR RAPHAEL CILENTO.] (Delivered at the Annual General Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 22 September 1966 (53rd year).) (Prefacing his remarks with an expression of cordial thanks for the continual assistance and loyal support of the Council, the Members and the Officers of the Society and especially to the Hon. Secretary (Mrs. Louise Harris) and the Vice-Presidents who had, from time to time, acted for him during his absences from Queensland, the President delivered the following address.) Last year I set out for you in lengthy detail the life story of Dr. Stephen Simpson of Wolston (Warwickshire), DR. STEPHEN SIMPSON 192 England; and of Woogaroo (Wacol) and Wolston, Queens­ land. There were a few gaps and of these the gravest was the absence of an actual record of his birth or origin though other facts indicated late 1792 for the former. His father could not be traced from the one reference regarding him that was found, but circumstances suggested that he was of "Coventry" and was a "gentleman." I said then: "It (Wolston) is within St. Margaret's parish of Coventry, and at present, the records are being searched in the hope of finding an entry that will clarify the matter." The search was indeed rewarded! A CHANCE DISCOVERY My search had begun almost by chance: I was following another matter regarding the Norman period in Italy and at the conclusion of one article upon it I passed idly on to the next heading "Norman Architecture." I was electrified to read that Norman remains were few in English buildings but one of the best doorways was at WOLSTON! The name leaped at me from the paper: correspondence with the rector (Rev.

  • WOLSTON FARMHOUSE TEACHER RESOURCE KIT: Stepping Into the Past
    PRIMARY – WOLSTON FARMHOUSE TEACHER RESOURCE KIT: Stepping into the past Within the original colonial setting of Wolston Farmhouse, located just 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD or 30 minutes from the Ipswich CBD, students will have the opportunity to take part in a drama immersion program where they will be transported back to the 1850’s as servants for the first owner of Wolston Farmhouse, Dr Stephen Simpson. They will dress in authentic style costumes to present a dramatic recreation of life as a servant in the house. Both within the rooms of Wolston Farmhouse and the surrounding gardens, students will participate in activities such as cooking, cleaning and washing just as it would have been conducted in colonial times. They will also have the opportunity to play traditional games popular in the 19th century. At all times they will be supervised by their teachers and other adult supervisors but will be supported and guided through the experience by trained staff and volunteers. Activities conducted during the day coupled with pre and post follow-up activities will enable the History Achievement Standard for Year 2 to be achieved using the program supplied in the kit, however many of these activities are suitable for other year levels. A checklist has been supplied to ensure the best possible outcomes can be achieved: By the end of Year 2, students describe a person, site and/or event of significance in the local community. They identify how and why the lives of people have changed over time while others have remained the same. Students sequence events in order, using a range of terms related to time.
