    ARCHIVE 1978 TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE PACIFIC An Overview Bal Saini Emeritus Professor of Architecture University of Queensland Pacific: Map showing Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia and Australasia. (American Geographical Society of 1 New York). ARCHIVE 1978 Architecture of the Pacific covers a region of more than third of the earth’s surface. The sparse Pacific population spreads over some 30000 islands, which graduate in size from small atolls to the largest island, Australia, a continent. Pacific architecture can be studied as four cultural units: Mi- cronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, and Australasia (Australia and New Zealand). While many of the islands of Micronesia lie above the Equator, the remaining Pacific islands are in the southern hemisphere. With the exception of Australia, most of the islands have a warm and humid tropical climate with high rainfalls and lush vegetation. Some islands lie in the cy- clonic and earthquake belts. Two distinct racial groups settled the region. The indigenous people, the Micronesians, Melanesians, Polynesians, Austra- lian Aborigines and New Zealand Maoris, migrated from Asia thousands of years ago. The second group, the recent immi- grants, were Europeans, who occupied the region during the last two centuries, and pockets of Asians brought in by colo- nial administrations as labourers during the early twentieth century.

  • Heritage Register Review
    ITEM NO: ORD 10.3.3 FRASER COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL ORDINARY MEETING NO. 16/17 WEDNESDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2017 SUBJECT: HERITAGE REGISTER REVIEW DIRECTORATE: DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY RESPONSIBLE EXECUTIVE MANAGER, DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING, James OFFICER: Cockburn AUTHOR: PRINCIPAL OFFICER, STRATEGIC PLANNING, Lauren Payler DOC NO: #3436911 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to table the outcome report from the Local Heritage Register Review project and seek resolution of Council to action the recommendations within the report. 2. BACKGROUND & PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION In 2011 Council adopted a Local Heritage Register in accordance with requirements and processes stipulated in the Queensland Heritage Act 1992 . Council undertook a review of the entries in 2012 to ensure consistency with places listed on the State Heritage Register. The Local Heritage Register is also progressively updated to add, remove and amend details for places of significance. The register currently has a total of 152 places of significance and reflects aspects of local and regional cultural history. It includes a variety of structures, archaeological and industrial sites, monuments and iconic buildings. The inclusion of heritage provisions in the planning scheme occurred after a period of reform of Queensland’s heritage legislation and amid significant planning reform. The constant changes to various pieces of the legislation over several years raised issues with the efficiency of heritage conservation measures and the separation of State and Local Government responsibilities. With the extensive 2016/2017 reforms of Queensland’s planning legislation, it became necessary to review the Local Heritage Register and the Fraser Coast Planning Scheme 2014 Heritage and Neighbourhood Character Overlay Code and maps, to ensure that Council’s framework for heritage protection is up to date, reflects best practice and encourages the appropriate use of the region’s Local Heritage Places.

  • Why Am I Getting This?
    Unregistered Members NOTICE ATTENTION: A CLAIM IS BEING BROUGHT FOR YOU ABOUT WAGES YOU DIDN’T GET PAID A LONG TIME AGO IF: 1. You are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person; 2. Between 1939 and 1972 you lived in a district or on a mission or reserve in Queensland and had a paid job at some time; 3. Your pay was controlled by the Queensland Government or the head of the mission or reserve; and 4. You believe you weren’t given all your pay. OR 5. You are representing a family member who qualifies and has since passed away. Why am I getting this? Mr Hans Pearson has brought a case in the Federal Court against the Queensland Government on behalf of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who weren’t paid all their wages. The Queensland Government is defending the case. The case is called a “class action” because Mr Pearson is bringing the case for everyone like him who was not given all his or her pay. Mr Pearson’s lawyers are Bottoms English Lawyers (“BELAW”), and they are helping him run the case. A company called Litigation Lending Services Limited (“LLS”) is paying for the case to be brought. You are getting this letter because you might not have been given all your pay, or because you are representing a family member who qualifies and has since passed away. We apologise if this Notice has been sent to a relative who has passed away. 1 What do I need to do to be part of the case? If you want to be part of the case you don’t need to do anything right now.
