  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

  • LANDSCAPES at RISK LIST Updated
    LANDSCAPES AT RISK LIST Updated 30 October 2020: ’Watch & Action’ List Namadgi National Park, south of Canberra, on fire, seen from Mt. Ainslie 1/2020 (photo: Anne Claoue-Long) ACT/Monaro/Riverina Branch WATCH • Berry township and landscape setting, Shoalhaven – historic town Berry was part of the 1822 Coolangatta Estate formed by Alexander Berry and partner, Edward Wollstonecraft. Its 40,000- acre holding was prime dairy land, which much of the landscape remains. However rising tourist trade, day and weekend visitors/owners from Sydney, highway bypass upgrades and a Council that seems to under-value its real ‘asset’ – this lush farming landscape, as sharp contrast to its town boundaries, are eroding its integrity. There is a risk of precedent in approvals, leading to piecemeal strip development south to Bomaderry and ‘sprawl’ as rural blocks are bought, and subdivisions not-otherwise-permitted in zonings are approved, somehow. Similar pressures beset Milton and Kangaroo Valley townships in their respective landscape settings. The National Trust of Australia (NSW) have classified the Berry District Landscape Conservation Area for its heritage values, but it lacks legal protection, serious planning and heritage leadership, vigilance and active management. English ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ classification is one option – strict zoning as ‘rural’ with non-variable minimum lot size, strict urban boundaries; • Australian War Memorial $498m expansion – near-doubling its floor space, with building bulk intruding into the (above) vista from Mt. Ainslie south over the lake to the parliamentary AUSTRALIAN GARDEN HISTORY SOCIETY LANDSCAPES AT RISK 30 October 2020 1 triangle. Approval based on insufficient study, analysis and assessment of its surrounding landscape and a poor heritage listing description has led to inadequate protection for its landscape.

  • From Track to Tarmac
    A Premier Place to Introduction A guided walking tour of the streets and Live laneways of North Sydney focusing on our State’s political history and political figures A walking tour of the homes and who represented the area including the haunts of North Sydney’s former residences of Alexander Berry, Sir politicians George Dibbs, Bernard Holtermann, Edward M. Sayers, William Tunks and Colonel Distance: 4.6 km George Barney. On this walk we will also Approximate time: 3.3 hours view changes in the North Sydney Grading: medium to high landscape over the past 150 years since the people of NSW elected their first Parliament. North Sydney has always been unashamedly conservative but sometimes independent in its political leanings (especially in more recent times with Ted Mack and Robyn Read). Labor members at state and federal level have been rare, unless they had a maverick past. William Morris Hughes, for example, was a right wing politician who represented North Sydney but had started his political life on the left. By the 1880s the North Shore of the harbour had become a desirable living area, attracting professionals and businessmen who worked in the city and commuted by the steamers. A cluster of early political representatives lived in the central portion of North Sydney, yet others lived in Kirribilli and Neutral Bay. Unfortunately some of the homes of our politicians have been demolished to make way for development in the Central Business District and construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Warringah Expressway. North Sydney History Walk : A Premier Place to Live Page 2 Our walk begins at North Sydney Railway Station GRAYTHWAITE, Union St Graythwaite is a fine house surviving as an example of the 19th Century residential Take stairs near entrance to Centra architecture of this area.

The Institute comments only on major city-shaping proposals which have an important impact on the functioning of the city and the quality of places within the city. The Western Harbour Tunnel (WHT) and Warringah Expressway Upgrade (WEU) is a significant city shaping project which is highly consequential for the built environment. The project and the subsequently planned Beaches Link Tunnel will have far-reaching effects. However, many of the most immediate effects will occur in North Sydney, so this submission will principally focus on North Sydney. Our submission is framed by the Government Architect NSW Integrated Design Policy: Better Placed, Greener Places, together with The National Urban Design Protocol. Each of these documents sets out a framework which aims to create productive, sustainable and liveable places for people through leadership and design excellence. Recognising, there is a need to create places that are liveable, desirable and sustainable, that cultivate healthy, cohesive and inclusive communities and foster environmental responsibility. To achieve this the we have adopted following themes when we consider and comment on significant city shaping projects. 1. Safe & Effective The design contributes to a safer, more effective long-term built environment. The proposal should: • Improve the economic and social functioning of the city.
