  • Report – Valuing the Queensland Museum
    "People rightly ask what is the contribution made to the lives of Queenslanders by our cultural organisations. The Queensland Museum and cultural organisations in general must be prepared to respond in an informed way. This is especially true in challenging economic times as the Museum plans the next developments on its campuses throughout the State. Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingency Valuation Study provides a new way of assessing the public value of the Queensland Museum. The Study presents evidence of this ongoing value in economic terms, based on sound, well-established survey and analysis techniques. The findings are comprehensive and provide a clear picture of the Museum's importance to its various stakeholders state-wide. This is the first time a cultural organisation in Australia has conducted such a study and it provides a model that might usefully be an exemplar for other organisations. I congratulate all those involved in the Study, both for the rigour of the research and analysis process and for the clarity of the reported outcomes. I commend the Study to our many supporters and friends. These are very exciting times for our Museum. Peter Swannell AM, Chair Board of the Queensland Museum The Queensland Museum wishes to thank Gillian Savage and Dr Rob Hall from Environmentrics and Professor David Throsby from Macquarie University for their support in developing and implementing this CVM Study of the Queensland Museum. As well the Museum expresses it’s thanks to McNair Ingenuity Research for conducting the actual web-based survey. 1 Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingent Valuation Study 2008 Report prepared by Deborah Tranter April 2009 On behalf of the Steering Committee: Deborah Tranter Director, Cobb+Co Museum and Regional Services Sarah Perrott Manager- Corporate Communications and Marketing Stephanie Tickle Project Manager, Corporate Services and Business Development 2 3 CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY................................................................................................

  • Lennon Heritage Places in Queensland Heritage
    Lennon Heritage places in Queensland Heritage Places in Queensland Jane Lennon For millennia people have left their mark on the land - scarred trees, handprints, rock art, shell middens. This urge to leave a sign of passing, of occupation, is strong in most cultures. These often accidental marks are today's heritage, the physical legacy of previous generations. From the historical date of some events and records of what happened on that date in a specific place, we can construct an account of its history. By examining the evidence left at the place as well as this record of history, we can determine its cultural significance to people today; that is, we create its heritage. A timeline of European events of historical significance to Queensland by century is presented in Appendix 1. The exploration of Terra Australis by mariners is the preoccupation of the first two centuries, until John Oxiey's survey in 1823. The convict era commenced in 1824 and ran until 1840, when free settlement brought an extensive if tenuous occupation to the southeast of today's Queensland and wider pastoral exploration began. After 30 years of European settlement, Brisbane was perceived as a 'sleepy hollow' and in 1854 there were complaints of dilapidated government buildings and services, but brick houses were being erected in North Quay and immigrants were establishing a thriving village in Fortitude Valley.^ By 1859 there were about 28,000 Queenslanders of European origin, half located in the country north to Rockhampton and half divided between Brisbane, Ipswich and smaller provincial towns. Following separation from New South Wales, the new colony set about establishing its mark in land surveys, marking out freehold, roads, railways and other utilitarian reserves.
