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.

  • Concrete: a Western Australian Tradition
    Concrete: A Western Australian tradition Andrew Murray University of Melbourne Abstract In 1961, The Hale School Memorial Hall was completed in Perth, Western Australia. While Jennifer Taylor credits the building with the introduction of béton brut into Australia she also described the building as a “strangely isolated example”, not joined by a similar work until the completion of the Social Sciences Building at Flinders University, Adelaide in 1969. Yet in the period between these two buildings Australia saw a wide range of béton brut experiments carried out which laid the ground work for the materials widespread acceptance in the 1970s. This paper contends that rather than being an isolated example the Hale School Memorial Hall spurred on a wave of béton brut buildings in Western Australia throughout the 1960s, constituting what could be considered a regional tradition. Ian Molyneux has previously identified the key role that concrete played in Western Australia during this period, suggesting that it is the use of concrete, particularly off- form concrete, which constitutes the most visible and significant contribution that Western Australia made to contemporary Australian architecture. However, to date this contribution has received little scholarly attention. This paper then sets out to chart a nascent history of béton brut buildings in the 1960s in Western Australia. It examines a decade of material and formal experimentation looking particularly at the key role that recent graduates, publications, and the construction industry played in the formation of this tradition. 378 Introduction Jennifer Taylor wrote in Australian Architecture since 1960 on the introduction of béton brut concrete into Australia.

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • 31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison Celebrates 10 Years As Perth's Only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison Will This Week
    31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison celebrates 10 years as Perth’s only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison will this week celebrate the 10th anniversary of their World Heritage listing as part of the Australian Convict Sites. Inscribed on the prestigious World Heritage List on 31 July 2010, the Australian Convict Sites, which includes 11 properties from around Australia, tell an important story about the forced migration of over 168,000 men, women and children from Britain to Australia during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Fremantle Prison Heritage Conservation Manager, and current Chair of the Australian World Heritage Advisory Committee, Luke Donegan, said, “Fremantle Prison is a monument to the development of Western Australia as we know it today.” “It is the most intact convict-built cell range in the nation and was the last convict establishment constructed in Australia.” The Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property also includes Cockatoo Island Convict Site, Sydney, NSW (1839–69); Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW (1819–48); Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island (active 1788–1814 and 1824–55); Old Government House and Domain, Parramatta Park, NSW (1788– 1856); and the Old Great North Road, Wiseman’s Ferry, NSW (1828–35). Brickendon-Woolmers Estates, Longford (1820–50s); Darlington Probation Station, Maria Island National Park (1825–32 and 1842–50); Cascades Female Factory, Mount Wellington (1828–56); Port Arthur Historic Site, Port Arthur (1830–77); and Coal Mines Historic Site, Norfolk Bay (1833–48). Fremantle Prison marks the place where the practice of forced migration through transportation ceased with the arrival of the convict ship Hougoumont in January 1868, and is an essential part of the Australian convict story.
