These reports represent much, if not all, of the breadth of activity, triumphs and, sadly, losses in the field of Industrial Heritage since our last Congress, in 2013, in Taiwan. From the 30 countries affiliated with TICCIH we listed at the beginning of 2015, 24 responded to the call: that is great and we thank all of the contributors. This offering represents material from most of the nations where we have active members, and provide them in a new and exciting format. The digital rendering will, we trust, afford a broader spread of information, as well as allowing for greatly expanded access to information through active links to related material via the Internet. Readers can simply click on many relevant links to access significant amounts of detailed information not possible in a printed format. And while we have strived to distribute our former printed National Report documents widely, this format should result in greatly improved distribution through simple reference and sharing, as well as access via search engines. We hope this digital book will be a useful tool to conduct research, to compare, and to discover the constantly evolving and amazing field of Industrial Heritage. Many thanks to Geneviève Dufresne, CILAC Vice-President and French TICCIH Representative, and James Douet, TICCIH Bulletin Editor, for their tenacity to obtain and to publish this first digital TICCIH National Reports. Patrick Martin Florence Hachez-Leroy TICCIH President 2009-2015 Chair of TICCIH-Lille 2015 2015 National Reports 4 Australia Helen Lardner, Australian TICCIH Coordinator, with Dr Iain Stuart Introduction The Australian national group of TICCIH is an informal grouping of heritage professionals with an interest in industrial heritage. It operates informally because of members’ limited time and resources as they bear their own costs of participation. Most members are members of Australia ICOMOS and have involvements with ICOMOS Scientific Committees at a national and international level as well as with other groups such as the Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology or the National Trust. The inaugural meeting of TICCIH in Australia was held at the Sydney Opera House forecourt in November 2007. Australian member Dr Iain Stuart continues to be active as a TICCIH Board member elected in 2009. Australia currently has 17 full financial members of International TICCIH. Eighty-five members subscribe to the TICCIH in OZ discussion group site. This keeps colleagues interested in industrial heritage in touch with each other and allows topical issues to be discussed. The chat group is moderated by Iain Stuart. TICCIH also has a Facebook page for communication to members. Character of industrial heritage TICCIH in Oz acknowledges the prior occupation of Australia by indigenous people and that - taking a broad definition of industrial heritage - there are places that have an indigenous industrial heritage value. Industrial activities post-contact (the term for the arrival of non-indigenous people which occurred at varying times across Australia) include a mixture of pastoral, agricultural, maritime and extractive industries. There was a vigorous manufacturing sector buoyed by protective tariffs, Government assistance and the 'natural tariff' of the distance from the main manufacturing centres in Europe, USA and later Asia. Over recent decades the manufacturing industry has declined leading to the development of industries in the service sector and bio-technology. Farming and mining remain strong sectors of the Australian economy. The bulk of Australian settlement has occurred along the coastal margins focusing on the major capital cities which are heavily urbanised. Urban development pressure has resulted in loss of industrial heritage sites as the economics of development mean that industrial sites are often redeveloped
