  • Local Heritage Register
    Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

  • Children in Inner City Suburbia the Case of New Farm, Brisbane
    CHILDREN IN INNER CITY SUBURBIA THE CASE OF NEW FARM, BRISBANE DRAFT- WORK IN PROGRESS – “This research report was prepared for and funded by the Creating Child-friendly Cities Conference, Sydney, 30-31 October 2006” Prepared by Phil Crane, Stephanie Wyeth, Mark Brough and Anne Spencer Queensland University of Technology Public Space Research Team October 2006 Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth www.aracy.org.au 1 Acknowledgements Many thanks to Wayne Delaforce and Bernadette Savage from QUT , to Brisbane City Council and the numerous organisations and individuals who assisted us. Cover photo © Rebecca c/- www.yspace.net , other photos © Phil Crane and Anna Spencer. 1.0 Introduction This case study has been undertaken as one of a series to inform the Child Friendly Cities Symposium conducted in Sydney October 30-31 2006. New Farm, Brisbane was selected for its capacity to throw light on the experience and issues of children in an Australian inner city suburban environment. As with other case study research it does not assume generalisability to other inner city suburban contexts, though it will be suggested there are a range of relevant considerations arising from it. New Farm presents as having some obviously child friendly features. It is home to one of Brisbane’s iconic parks with its’ childrens’ playground woven into grand trees, is surrounded on three sides by the Brisbane River, and has emerged as a hub for fringe arts and performance. From the early 1990’s New Farm and the surrounding are has been the subject of quite intense urban renewal attention.

  • Historic Buildings Booklet
    DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT Leavenworth's 45-block downtown was planned in 1854 and in its first two decades commerce boomed. Most of the City's early stores were built in "blocks" with multiple storefronts and common upper areas. Many of these magnificent structures are gone and some that remain are the lower floors left after fire, tornado and neglect took their toll on their upper levels. Infill is evident nearly everywhere and pavement replaced buildings as the demand for off street parking grew, especially after World War II. Examples of block-style development are still evident today are the O'Donnell Block at 100 S. 5th Street, the Masonic Temple at 421 Delaware, the Yum block at 311-321 S. 5th Street and the intact block of commercial stores in the 600 block of Cherokee Street. There are 65 contributing properties in the district, mostly constructed of red brick with cast iron and terra cotta trim features. Their architecture is described as "high style" with Colonial and Classical revival variations reflective of their era. Two were previously placed on the National Register of Historic Places (429 and 500 Delaware Street). Knights of Columbus Block, 331 Delaware Street c. 1882; c. 1945 This three-story building has a corner entrance that is canted at both stories. The façade of this late 19th Century building was significantly altered in the 20th Century. Divisions are created through the use of brick stringcourses and by alternating different colors of brick and large, cast stone tiles. Commercial storefronts occupy the first story and are divided into three bays on the Delaware Street façade.
