Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

R101 Cameron Offices RSTCA
Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture RSTCA No: R101 Name of Place: Cameron Offices Other/Former Names: Address/Location: Chandler Street BELCONNEN TOWN CENTRE Block Section of Listing Status: Other Heritage Listings: Date of Listing: Level of Significance: Citation Revision No: Category: Citation Revision Date: Style: Date of Design: Designer: Construction Period: Client/Owner/Lessee: Date of Additions: Builder: Statement of Significance The Cameron Offices, located along Chandler Street Belconnen Town Centre, is an example of significant architecture and an educational resource. The office complex is a very good example of the Late Twentieth-Century International Style (1960-) and the Late Twentieth-Century Brutalist Style (1960-). The design incorporates most of the features which are specific to the styles including: Late Twentieth-Century International Style (1960-) cubiform overall shape, structural frame expressed, large sheets of glass, and plain, smooth wall surface. Late Twentieth-Century Brutalist Style (1960-) strong shapes, boldly composed, expressed reinforced-concrete, large areas of blank wall and off-form concrete. The following design features are of additional significance; the precast post tensioned 'T' floor beams with the integration of the lighting and air conditioning, the landscaped courtyards with native Australian plants and water features, the structural system for the office wing's floors where the Gallows beams support the floors by hanging 'columns', the stepped floors at half levels, overhang of the upper floors for shading to the north, Corbusian (ribbon) window motif, assertive cantilever and lengthy expressed reinforced concrete balustrades along the 'Mall'. The office complex is Canberra's, and it appears Australia's, first and possibly only true architectural example of "Structuralism" where buildings are integral and contributing elements of an overall urban order rather than separate and individual elements. -
City Railway Remnants Background Information
June 2017 ACT Heritage Council BACKGROUND INFORMATION CITY RAILWAY REMNANTS Block 12 (part) Section 33, Reid; and The Causeway, Kingston. Canberra as a planned city had, from the outset, embraced the idea of an integrated system of rail and trams for communication to and from and within the city. The accepted design of Walter Burley Griffin provided a rail route on the eastern side of the city that connected Canberra with Yass and Goulburn. The railway, although planned for with easements set aside for its future construction until 1950, was never built. In 1921 a temporary construction railway was extended from the existing line at what is now Kingston, crossing the Molonglo River with a temporary bridge and then into the city approximately along this route. The bridge was washed away in the 1922 flood and never reinstated so the line became redundant. The history of the proposed railway is intimately linked with Walter Burley Griffin and evidence of his design for the city can still be seen at select points along what would have been its route. Important dates in the history of the City Railway Remnants 30 April 1911 Competition for the design of the federal capital city of the Commonwealth of Australia announced. 23 May 1912 Walter Burley Griffin (entry no.29) announced as the winner of the competition. 15 October 1913 Griffin appointed Director of Design and Construction. 1918 Plan 103C – Griffin’s last full design of the city of Canberra. December 1920 Work begins on Griffin’s temporary construction railway. 27 January 2921 Griffin leaves the position of Director of Design and Construction. -
1: Amenity in the Parliamentary Triangle
1 The provision of amenity within the Parliamentary Triangle Introduction 1.1 On 17 May 2013, the Hon Catherine King MP, Minister for Regional Services, Local Communities and Territories, requested that the Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories undertake an inquiry into the provision of amenity within the Parliamentary Triangle. The Committee adopted the inquiry on 24 May. 1.2 The terms of reference of the inquiry ask the Committee to examine the provision of amenity within the Parliamentary Triangle with particular reference to: Describing the changing nature of the working environment in the Parliamentary Triangle; The adequacy of retail services available in this precinct against the benchmark of like employment precincts located in the Capital; and Should these services be considered inadequate, recommend steps that would ameliorate that inadequacy. 1.3 With limited time available to take evidence on the issue, the Committee sought the views in particular of the National Capital Authority (NCA), national institutions within the Central National Area, government departments, the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) and the ACT Government. 1.4 The Committee received 13 submissions and one supplementary submission, which are listed at Appendix A. The Committee held 1 public hearing. A list of those organisations and individuals who gave evidence before the Committee is listed at Appendix B. 2 THE PROVISION OF AMENITY WITHIN THE PARLIAMENTARY TRIANGLE Scope and structure of the report 1.5 While the terms of reference of the inquiry refer specifically to the Parliamentary Triangle, the Committee is cognisant that the issues surrounding the inquiry impact on the whole of the Central National Area—taking in Barton, Russell and Acton as well as the Parliamentary Zone (Parkes). -
