These levels are; Reflect, Innovate, Stretch and Elevate. Developing and implementing a Reflect RAP allows the City of Perth (the City) to focus on building relationships both internally and externally whilst raising awareness with our stakeholders to ensure there is a shared understanding and ownership of our RAP. Throughout the actions in the Reflect RAP, the City has a strong focus on building the foundations for relationships, respect and opportunities, whilst focusing on building a positive internal culture and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, particularly Nyoongar cultures. 7 4 Christopher Pease Land Release 3 (2008) Oil on canvas 97 x 214cm 8 5 Sandra Hill White Goods (2010) Our Business Acrylic on plywood 30 x 30cm each panel The area of Whadjuk Nyoongar land on which the City of Perth and State judicial institutions, and has the largest concentration of (the City) sits today is just over 19 square kilometres in area (land jobs, services, education and cultural and leisure activities in Greater only) and located on the northern banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan Perth.

    History West, November 2015 November 2015 GENERAL MEETING The next meeting at Stirling House is on Wednesday 18 November at 6pm. Dr Bob Reece will present a paper entitled Yagan and Other Prominent Swan River Aborigines. Refreshments available from 5.30pm; Bookshop open until 6pm In recent years, Yagan has become a hero figure for the descendants of the original Aboriginal owners of Swan River and a by-word for their response to British settlement of Swan River Colony in the years after June 1829. They see him as a resistance figure (‘freedom fighter’, if you like) who offered armed opposition to the settlers, their expropriation without compensation of traditional lands and their disdain for an ancient Aboriginal culture. Aboriginal society lacked any political hierarchy, but Yagan represented a new form of leadership. Fearful of his violent exploits which saw him declared an outlaw with a price on his head, the small and vulnerable settler population heaved a collective sigh of relief in 1833 when news came that he been treacherously shot by a thirteen year old boy for the reward. The emergence of Aboriginal people on to the national political stage after the 1967 referendum accelerated the need for Aboriginal hero figures who could symbolise resistance to European settler dominance both in the past and the present. In Western Australia, Yagan was a familiar figure but the erection of a bronze statue in his honour on Heirisson Island in 1984 raised his profile in more than the obvious way. From a fresh examination of the contemporary sources, this paper will offer a perspective on Yagan (and by extension other notable Swan River Aboriginal figures of his time) that will hopefully assist us in seeing him as he was rather than what he has become.

    State of Australian Cities Conference 2015 Image Analysis of Urban Design Representation Towards Alternatives Robyn Creagh Centre for Sport and Recreation Research, Curtin University Abstract: This paper is a critical exploration of visual representation of urban places. This paper examines extracts from one Australian case study, the document An Urban Design Framework: A Vision for Perth 2050 (UDF), and makes comparisons between prior analysis of urban plans and the visual language of the UDF. Three alternative representations are then briefly discussed to explore some ways in which urban places are understood and communicated outside of urban design and planning frameworks. This paper is the start of a project rather than the culmination and sketches future directions of enquiry and possibilities for practice. The overall focus of this analysis is to reveal the way in which attitudes to place, roles and process are revealed through visual sections of city vision documents. The paper concludes that the visual representations in the UDF are not neutral and that these representations correspond to discursive traits seen in urban plans. These traits conceptualise place history as unproblematic and without authors, construct authority within technical process, and limit the role of place occupants as opposed to designer or planner. Parallel to moves to challenge the language of urban plans this paper illustrates that it is also important to challenge the visual language of urban design. 1. Visualising urban design for Australian cities Urban design plans and frameworks are part of the tools and outputs of city making in Australia. The way that these documents are constructed tells us about the built environment profession’s understanding of urban places and the perceived role of various players in this context.

    Precinct 8 Burswood Island to Maylands Peninsula (Causeway Bridge to Bath Street Reserve) 1 Summary Burswood Island to Maylands Peninsula (Causeway Bridge to Bath Street Reserve) The Swan River takes the form of broad, graceful regular meanders upstream of Heirisson Island to Maylands Peninsula. The wide channel seasonally inundates the remaining flat alluvial sediments, such as Maylands Peninsula. The landform is particularly attractive as it highlights the river meander bends with the flat peninsulas nesting into steeply sloping escarpments of the opposite banks. The escarpment line curves in a parabolic form with the low Burswood Island Resort is a large modern development which points being the peninsulas at either end and the central curve stands out rather than complements the river environment, tapering to a uniform, higher ridge. however the landscaped gardens and highly maintained appearance,, is more attractive than the adjacent railway reserve There is little natural riparian vegetation along the foreshore in land.

  • From Perth's Lost Swamps to the Beeliar Wetlands
    Coolabah, No. 24&25, 2018, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians i Transnacionals / Observatory: Australian and Transnational Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Reimagining the cultural significance of wetlands: From Perth’s lost swamps to the Beeliar Wetlands. Danielle Brady Edith Cowan University [email protected] Jeffrey Murray Australian Army Copyright©2018 Danielle Brady & Jeffrey Murray. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged, in accordance with our Creative Commons Licence. Abstract: The history of Perth, Western Australia, has been characterised by the incremental loss of its wetlands. While disputes about wetlands are often framed solely in terms of the environment, they are places of cultural significance too. The extensive wetlands of central Perth, food gathering and meeting places for Noongar people are now expunged from the landscape. Urban dwellers of Perth are largely unaware that the seasonal lakes and wetlands of the centre of the city were the larders, gardens, hideouts, dumps and playgrounds of previous generations; both Noongar and Settler. The loss of social memory of these lost cultural/natural places entails the framing of wetlands as aberrant and continues to influence Perth’s development and the sense of place of its inhabitants. Reimagining Perth’s Lost Wetlands was a project which attempted to reimagine the pre-colonial landscape using archival material. Reimagining the past allows connections to be made to the last remaining wetlands in the wider metropolitan area. The fight to save the Beeliar Wetlands in southern suburban Perth as a cultural/natural place illustrates the changing value of wetlands and the laying down of social memories of place.

These paintings and drawings re-imagine the physical, historic and spiritual heart of Perth - Derbarl Yerrigan Swan River as the river and land of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people, before the foundation of Perth and English settlement in 1829.” Alan Muller, 2019 Artist talk 2.30 pm Saturday 5th May 2019, Linton & Kay Galleries, Mandoon Estate, 10 Harris Road, Caversham 6155 Upper Swan after Garling 1827 Acrylic on canvas 2019, 90 x 150 cm Based on a combination of two historic views painted on location by Frederick Garling in 1827, the work is of late summer with one side of the river as embankment and the other as flood plain. Rainfall in the past was much higher than it is now so there was a distinct seasonal enlargement of the river in winter and contraction during summer. Crossing the River at Matagarup after Garling 1827 Acrylic on canvas 2019, 50 x 100 cm Derbarl Yerrigan Swan River at East Perth is where a lot of change has occurred since English settlement in 1829. The series of small islands depicted here were dredged and a single Heirisson Island created by expanding one of the existing islands. A part of the river to the left was filled in. This section of the river had shallow waters that enabled the Whadjuk people to cross the river in knee and waist deep water. It was the main place that the river was crossed by the Whadjuk people. Today it is the site of the Causeway.
