    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.

Designed in the traditional grid-like layout, popular in the Victorian era, the cemetery is demonstrative of the early European community’s need for burial grounds. The fabric, setting and context of the site are all important. The cemetery has distinct sections which show its evolution from a Victorian cemetery, established in the 1870s, to one that includes newer forms of burial, such as the war and lawn cemeteries. Within the cemetery grounds is an early and intact shelter built in 1891 and the sexton’s residence, a substantial interwar timber house on the corner of Gympie and Kitchener Roads. The cemetery has an important Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial section on the site which contains 386 World War II graves. Mature trees on the site, which include rows of Camphor Laurel and Cypress Pine trees, add to the site’s significance and visual appeal. History “Cemeteries not only help explain our past, they also provide a sense of continuity and identity. So our burial grounds reflect vital aspects of our social, religious, folk, architectural, literary and botanical history which are not found in such a combination in any other place.”1 1 After the declaration of Queensland as a colony, separate to New South Wales, in 1859, the new Queensland Government was anxious to increase the colony’s population and to encourage agricultural settlements.

While "Men's Sheds" are commonplace in Australia’s Veteran's society, few, if any, can lay claim to a history going back close to the start of the millennium. One, operated by the RAAF Vietnam Veterans’ Association of WA Inc, can make that claim with the group marking their fifteenth year since coming into being as the "brainchild" of Vietnam Veteran Peter Robinson (right). Peter was with 9 SQN in Vung Tau from April 1969 to Feb 1970. Peter takes up the story: " in early 2001, our old washing machine spat the dummy. I went through the exercise and spent a bucket of money on a new one and almost threw the old one out, thinking, one day I'll get around to fixing that." Peter did fix the machine for the grand sum of $60.00. The next week he picked up three "dead" washing machines from the "council pick up" on the side of the road. He now had another problem: what to do with three washing machines that needed fixing. In no time at all, he had rounded up mates he served with to get together in his garage to fix washing machines. Many of the mates were ex RAAF; tradesmen so they "knew tools". Some of the Vets who heard about the operation on the grapevine and dropped in didn't. This is where Peter's motivation motto kicked in. 'Give a Vet a purpose in life and through that will grow the key elements: friendship, camaraderie and satisfaction." Peter continues, "a tradie and non tradie would team up in 'an on the job training exercise', and when one of the non tradies completed a task and the machine worked, the look on his face was priceless.

Gerry Stevens and Kym Hyson are also added to the committee and I congratulate them and the returning members on their election to the management committee for the next 12 months. There is no doubt 2020 will be talked about for years to come and I am thankful that we were able to conduct some business despite the lack of travel. We have identified a number of projects for the immediate future and can sign off on the Constable George Doyle/Christian Dalke memorial at Tamrookum and the Constable Arthur Lowe headstone restoration at Toowong. I believe the FQPM support of Dr Anastasia Dukova’s work on the story of the police officers who joined the AIF will add a wonderful page to the history of the Queensland Police when published. Christmas 2020 will perhaps be a different experience for some of us this year as our country opens up and those who normally travel make those plans that will be permitted. Whatever your circumstances, can I trust that you have a peaceful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. Bob Burns APM, President FQPM Replacement of Information Stand at the Seymour Family Grave at Toowong Cemetery Background The Seymour grave was at one time on the list of graves included in a tour of police graves at Toowong Cemetery.

  • Mt Thompson Crematorium/Former
    - Draft History - Mt Thompson Crematorium/former Brisbane Crematorium The former Brisbane Crematorium at Nursery Road, Holland Park, comprising a brick chapel, mortuary, retort room, offices, columbarium garden, caretaker‟s house and landscaped gardens, was designed by Melbourne architects, Charles and Frank Heath and executed by Addison and Macdonald architects. It opened on 10 September 1934 as Queensland‟s first crematorium and incorporates artwork by noted Queensland sculptor Daphne Mayo. Although cremation has been used for the disposal of the dead in many societies for millennia, its use in the Western world, dates from the second half of the nineteenth century. Before it was accepted as an appropriate means of disposal of the dead, theological arguments and tradition needed to be overcome. An early step in this process was the exhibition of a cremation chamber at the Vienna Exposition in 1873. In the following year the Cremation Society of England was formed by Queen Victoria‟s surgeon and other medical practitioners. Subsequently, the first crematoria were built in 1878 at Woking in England and Gotha in Germany. However, the first cremation in Britain in this period took place in 1884 when William Price cremated his son‟s body and subsequently won a court case establishing cremation as legal. Woking Crematorium conducted its first cremation on 26 March 1886.1 In Australia, the cremation movement began in the late nineteenth century but only slowly gained favour. It campaigned for cremation on the basis of public health benefits, and economic and aesthetic grounds. In 1891 South Australia became the first colony to legalise cremation.
