Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

  • The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION
    Mr John Shawcross 92 Macrae Street Applecross WA 6160 July 20th 2005 The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO HISTORIC HERITAGE Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry. I make my submission as a private citizen. While it is difficult to prove with hard facts, I have no doubt that where we choose to conserve our historic heritage, the economic, environmental and social benefits far outweigh the costs. Conversely, the lack of care of Australia's historic heritage over the last 40 years has had a disastrous effect on the environment of our central cities, towns and suburbs. Demolition of historic buildings and streetscapes which gave our cities and towns a high level of amenity has been driven by a taste for the ‘shiny and new’, and a belief that new buildings were automatically cheaper, more profitable and more efficient. In so many cases however, the demolished structures have been replaced by low- quality modern buildings that are ugly, poorly designed, inhospitable to pedestrians and ‘city life’ generally, and of poor durability. Short-term and unimaginative thinking has dominated the investment decisions that have driven this kind of development. It has diminished the environment of Australia's cities and towns, and it has also undermined the long term social and economic attractiveness of many areas for investment, business-migration and people. Some may say that this is unimportant, because in reality investment has simply moved elsewhere in the Australian marketplace. Instead of high quality main streets we have high levels of investment in amortizable office space, suburban shopping malls, suburban cinemas, entertainment megaplexes (casinos, convention centres, stadiums, etc), chain stores and so on.
