HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2013–14

Message from the Chairperson ......

I have great pleasure in presenting the second Annual Report of the Heritage Council.

2013–14 was the first full year of the operation of the Heritage Act, which commenced in October 2012.

There have undoubtedly been some teething problems, but on balance the new Act is working well. When a place is nominated for heritage listing, the new Act requires decisions to be made in a timely fashion. The Council has been meeting these requirements, and this is a good outcome for all stakeholders.

There are seven new heritage places and three new heritage objects on the NT Heritage Register.

The new system for work approvals is also working well. The majority of decisions in relation to proposed work to heritage places are now taken by the Heritage Council instead of the Minister, and strict new timelines on making decisions about proposed work are being observed.

The Council has also been involved at a more strategic level in matters of heritage management, providing input into several proposals affecting the Darwin CBD. I was particularly gratified that after many years there seems to be an appropriate proposal for the redevelopment of ‘Goyder’s Camp’. This site below Government House is in many ways the birthplace of modern Darwin, and it is very important that it is treated with respect.

In April 2014, I attended the annual meeting of the Heritage Chairs and Officials of Australia and New Zealand, held in Hobart. A key item on the agenda was the draft Australian Heritage Strategy. There was a consensus amongst the attendees that there was room for improvement in the draft Strategy. A number of constructive suggestions were made, and I am hopeful that the Commonwealth will take these on board.

There was also renewed interest at the national level in Indigenous heritage. This is welcome news to the Council, as the Territory is very rich in Indigenous heritage sites. It is hoped this will also include the many significant Macassan sites, most of which are in the Northern Territory and most of which are threatened by the consequences of climate change.

The Council was pleased to be able to visit Alice Springs in September 2013. I think it is vital for the Council to be seen to be taking an interest in heritage management issues in the Central Region, and I look forward to regular visits to Alice Springs in the future.

Assessment and Declaration ......

Nominations

The heritage listing process starts with someone nominating a place or object for heritage listing.

The Council received eight nominations during the year, as follows:

• J W O Bennett memorial; • WWII 17 ½ Mile Gun Pits; • Catalina Flying Boat A24-206; • Catalina Flying Boat A24-69; • Catalina Flying Boat A24-1; • US Navy Patrol Wing Ten Catalinas (Nos 4, 5 and 6); • The Shackle Settlement site; and • Kulaluk Lease Area, Darwin.

Council accepted all of these nominations.

6 HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2013–14 Council also nominated the following seven places of its own volition:

• Z Special Unit Base, East Arm; • Manna Paroo Rockholes; • Gould Airfield; • Submerged Telegraph Cable, Darwin Harbour • Little Flower Mission; • Arltunga (additional area); and • Twin Ghost Gums site, near Alice Springs.

Assessments Once it has accepted a nomination, Council must apply the heritage assessment criteria set out in the Act, in order to determine whether the place is of heritage significance.

The heritage assessment criteria for a place or object are set out in section 11 of the Heritage Act, and are as follows:

(a) whether it is important to the course, or pattern, of the Territory’s cultural or natural history; (b) whether it possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the Territory’s cultural or natural history. (c) whether it has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the Territory’s cultural or natural history; (d) whether it is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places or environments; (e) whether it is important in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics; (f) whether it is important in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement during a particular period; (g) whether it has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons, including the significance of a place to Aboriginal people as part of their continuing and developing cultural traditions; (h) whether it has a special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the Territory’s history.

HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2013–14 HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2013–14 7 Th e Council assessed the significance of eleven places, as follows:

• Alice Springs Pioneer Drive-in Screen; • Connellan Airways de Havilland Heron aircraft; • Remains of Flying Boat Base, East Arm; • John William Ogilvie Bennett Memorial; • WWII Gun Pits north of the 17 ½ Mile Camp; • Three US Navy Catalina wrecks, East Arm; • Z Special Unit Base, East Arm; • Gould Airfield; • Manna Paroo Rockholes; • Allied Works Building, Elliot; and • WWII Circular Trench, Palmerston.

Declared heritage places and objects Ten places or objects were gazetted as heritage places:

Provisional Protection The commencement of the Heritage Act in 2012 brought with it a new system of provisional protection for places and objects nominated to be heritage listed. Once the Heritage Council has decided that a place or object is significant, the Minister must provisionally declare it as a heritage place or object. This protection stays in place until a final decision is made as to whether it ought to be permanently declared as a heritage place or object.

Two places were provisionally declared by the Minister as heritage places:

• The Grave of Goolam Rasool Nazar, Alice Springs; and • Remains of Flying Boat Base, East Arm.

8 HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2013–14 Two objects were provisionally declared by the Minister as heritage objects:

• De Havilland DH 114 Heron Aircraft; and • J W O Bennett Memorial.

Refusals On 31 July 2013 the Minister refused to declare the WWII Bomb Crater in McMinn Street, Darwin.

The State of the Register The NT Heritage Register now has a total of 272 places and objects that have been declared as heritage places and objects since the commencement of the Heritage Conservation Act in 1991.

Under the transitional provisions of the new Heritage Act, all places and objects declared under the old Act have the same status under the new Act. A complete list of all declared places and objects as at 30 June 2014 is provided at Appendix One.
