  • BERGER Karen-Thesis Nosignature
    PERFORMING BELONGING: MEETINGS ON AND IN THE EARTH Karen Berger B. Sc. (Hons), B. Mus. Perf., Grad. Dip. Animateuring College of Arts, Victoria University Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters by Research, November 2013. ABSTRACT This Masters by Research project involves two ways of meeting that explore, in complimentary ways, the question of belonging. It comprises this exegesis and a performance at a spot near where I’ve lived for 15 years, on the banks of the Merri Creek in Melbourne. This spot is where John Batman probably met with Wurundjeri elders on June 6th 1835, with the aim of negotiating a treaty for the buying of 500,000 acres of their land. When I walk along the Merri Creek I feel that it is in some way ‘mine’, but know that this is only the case because the original inhabitants were violently prevented from maintaining their traditional lives here. For contemporary Aboriginal people, Australia can be felt as ‘theirs’ and ‘not theirs’; and many immigrant Australians who now ‘belong’ here were, either themselves or their ancestors, violently moved off their own homelands. It could be argued that Australians’ relationship to the land is paradoxical. I am interested in what theatre, specifically site-specific theatre, can do to address the issue of belonging. Neil Leach describes belonging as inherently performative.1 Assuming that the personal, social, historical and spatial are inseparable and interdependent, I have chosen a site that is particularly evocative of my (and hopefully other Australians too), exploration of connection to this country.

  • Trade Relocation Expanding Melbourne’S Port Capacity
    FACT SHEET Trade relocation Expanding Melbourne’s Port Capacity A key element of the creation of additional container capacity within the Port of Melbourne is the construction of a new international container terminal at Webb Dock East. To facilitate this work, shipping operations at Webb Dock East berths 3, 4 & 5 ceased on 1 July 2014. Until completed, the wharves at 3, 4 and 5 Webb Dock East will be under the control of the Corporation’s appointed maritime works contractor, McConnell Dowell, which will upgrade and modify the wharves. The closure of the three berths at Webb Dock will create the need to reallocate trade to other locations including Webb Dock West and Appleton Dock. These docks will be managed by Australian Amalgamated Terminals (AAT). Berth priority arrangements are in place to efficiently accommodate car trade in particular and ensure that Victoria continues to deliver its manufactured cars to world markets. There is also a temporary automotive laydown area, which is a secure car park for the short term storage of new vehicles, north of Williamstown Rd. Berthing of vessels at Appleton Dock and Webb Dock West are being managed in accordance with the berthing priority arrangements ‐ AAT is responsible for the allocations of all berths, Webb Dock West berth 2, Appleton Dock berths 1 (D & E) and 2 (B & C). Bass Strait coastal trade operators, Toll and SeaRoad, will continue with ‘business as usual’ during this period. Terminal operators and the Port of Melbourne Corporation are working closely to create ‘predictive schedules’ that will wherever possible minimise impacts, or at the very least, forecast ahead enabling co‐ordination across the supply chain.
