Overview of Agency | Key Legislation | 23 There have been a number of significant issues that Significant Issues impacted on the National Trust in 2013-14. These include two key primary issues which have and Impacting the Agency will continue to have impact on the National Trust:

• The need to increase the commitment of stakeholders for heritage projects and programs; and • The increasing requirement for both capital and recurrent investment of resources for Heritage projects and programs. Others include: • The increasing expectations on the National Trust in Western Australia by other organisations for leadership at both the national and state levels including online, communications and schools and public education and learning programs; and • The continuing challenge of addressing the backlog of capital works and maintenance for State heritage assets.

57 MURRAY STREET 57 Murray Street, Perth WA

When Western Australia’s new Public Health Act was introduced in 1911, the State Government constructed a two storey brick and stone building primarily to house the Medical and Health Department and Colonial Secretary’s Office. During 2013/2014 a $4.7million Treasury advance to the National Trust has funded world-class conservation, adaptive and interpretive works ensuring a sustainable future for 57 Murray Street. 57 Murray Street was home to a range of government departments which operated from 1912 to the 1990s, including the Public Health and Medical Department and Department of Aborigines and Fisheries.

CANCER WELLNESS CENTRE 80 Railway Street, Cottestloe WA

The $6.5m transformation of Wanslea, Cottesloe into a leading Cancer Wellness Centre was completed in 2014. This unique integrated support centre is the first of its kind in Australia and brings together four cancer support organisations. Wanslea is a heritage listed property of state significance which was transferred to the care of the National Trust in 2008 in poor condition.

A major addition to the former staff quarters now makes available offices and a call centre, while a new 260m² hall has been constructed for group activities and two smaller outbuildings have been conserved as meeting rooms. A central area of retained trees provides a pleasant outdoor setting. The interpretation reflects two main themes – ‘caring’ and ‘connection with community’. Installations include a series of quotes and a timeline sandblasted into sets of pavers along the entry path and in the forecourt of the main building. Internally, a number of postcards produced by the IOOF around 1910 are reproduced in a display in the main corridor and a detail of one of the images from the postcard is used on partitions in the new hall.

OLD FARM, STRAWBERRY HILL 174 Middleton Road, Albany WA

Old Farm, Strawberry Hill in Albany was reopened to the public in April 2014 after the completion of major conservation and interpretation works. A welcome from the local Menang people now greets visitors as they enter the house, while panels installed in the entranceway provide an overview of the main stages of the history of the place. Visitors are encouraged to become ‘site detectives’ discovering for themselves some of the stories hidden in the building fabric, in the landscape surrounding the house and the objects themselves. The removal of furniture and artefacts from the farmhouse building during replacement of the slate roof in early 2013, provided an opportunity to conserve internal walls and to investigate early finishes in the buildings.

Routine management and maintenance has been carried out this year under the National Trust’s direction by local contractor, Cowaramup Landscape Supplies.

The National Trust Covenanting program plays an important role in the conservation of remnant bushland on private property.

Rigorous assessment, preparation of a management plan and ongoing stewardship visits from the Trust’s Field Officer Peter Murphy are all part of the service. The National Trust also offers advice on fire management/ prevention, rehabilitation of disturbed areas, species recovery programs and plant disease.
