INTRODUCTION EJE Heritage has been requested to prepare a Statement of Heritage Impact for the site and buildings currently known as Ballina High School, 37-49 Swift Street, Ballina NSW, Lot 392 DP 755684, Lot 477 & Lot 478 DP 729251. A new high school is to be constructed on the site for the NSW Department of Education. The initial section of the report places the site within its historical context, and examines the physical condition and context of the site and existing buildings. With the history, physical condition and context understood, a heritage assessment of the site can be completed using the NSW Heritage Division guidelines encompassing the Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter 2013 heritage values: historical significance; aesthetic significance; scientific significance; and social significance. The heritage significance of the site and cottage, if any, is then ranked in accordance with Heritage Division guidelines. The Statement of Heritage Impact that follows examines the proposed works, identifying any impacts which the proposal might have on the significance of the heritage items, and any measures which should be taken to mitigate any negative impacts, if these are in fact identified. This Statement of Heritage Impact was prepared by EJE Heritage, under the direction of Barney Collins, Heritage Architect. The Historical Context section was researched and written by David Campbell, Heritage Consultant. 1.1 METHODOLOGY This report has been undertaken in accordance with the NSW Heritage Office publications, Assessing Heritage Significance and Statements of Heritage Impact, together with the Australia ICOMOS, The Burra Charter: The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance 2013.1 1.2 HERITAGE LISTINGS Two buildings on the site are listed as Heritage Items in Ballina Local Environmental Plan 2012 (‘LEP 2012’), Schedule 5, Part 1, as hereunder: Suburb Item Address Description Significance Item Ballina Ballina High 37 - 44 Swift Lot 392, DP Local I 48 School Street 755684 buildings (1931) Ballina Ballina High 37 - 44 Swift Lot 392, DP Local I 49 School Street 755684 buildings (1950) It is noted that the first listing refers to the former Ballina Intermediate High School building (now known as M Block), first occupied in 1931; the second listing is strictly speaking inaccurate, for 1 Burwood: Australia ICOMOS, 2013. Prepared by EJE Heritage Page 2 Nominated Architect – Barney Collins No. 4438 10806-SOHI-001 STATEMENT OF HERITAGE IMPACT A NEW HIGH SCHOOL FOR BALLINA no building at the school dates from 1950. The building to which this listing appears to refer is C Block, a weatherboard structure dating from 1952, which was subsequently relocated from its original site (next to the first school tennis courts, later relocated to make way for L Block) to the north-eastern side of the line of Burnet Street, which formerly ran through the present school grounds. The items were included in the LEP 2012 Schedule 5.1 after being noted in the Draft

I feel comfortable being proud of an organisation that has been able to achieve so much during the course of the year. New England Sings!, concerts and performances from the very young to the mature, eisteddfod successes, AMEB achievements, motivated and dedicated admin and teaching staff, the capabilities of Director Susanne James and a dynamic board were hallmarks of those achievements. But of course the measure of an organisation such as NECOM should not be based on its achievements and successes alone. Behind those successes and achievements lies hours upon hours of work (sheer hard work mostly), rehearsals, practice, thought and energy by staff, teachers and students and importantly those that care and encourage them. So while NECOM and the community it serves can be proud that it has achieved its targets and goals and continued to meet its vision and mission, it has not rested on its laurels. NECOM aims to be a music conservatorium that is focused, sustainable, forward-thinking and caring. NECOM has been able to achieve those aims: through its programs of inclusiveness
