Conservation Management Plan Anglican Church of Saint Paul the Apostle – Manuka Conservation Management Plan Prepared for: The Parish Council of the Anglican Parish of Manuka by Sandy White Eddie Braggett Pip Giovanelli November 2015 This project was supported with funding made available by the ACT Government under the ACT Heritage Grants Program St Paul’s Anglican Church Conservation Management Plan 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY St Paul’s Church was built in three stages (1938-39, 1953-56 and 2000-2001), with each stage stylistically consistent with the architect’s (Burcham Clamp and Sons) initial design. It is significant for its aesthetic, historic and social values and continues to be above the threshold for entry to the ACT Heritage Register. The ancillary buildings of old rectory, new rectory and hall/office are of lesser heritage value and would not reach the threshold for listing in their own right. Consequently there is no heritage impediment to their demolition subject to the old rectory, designed by Malcolm Moir, being recorded for posterity. Most of the garden landscape has been substantially altered over the years with a major remodelling being undertaken from 2001-2004. That phase of work is appropriate to the church and its setting and there is no recommendation for its change. A few trees are historically significant and warrant continued careful management and there are other areas on the site that could be improved. One opportunity includes the reinstatement of a perimeter hedge or fence. As landscaping work to date has tended to be piecemeal it is recommend that a landscape plan for the whole site be developed. There are further opportunities to extend the church and to redevelop the rectories, hall and office however all new work should be done with very careful attention to architectural style and detail. Setbacks and heights will also be critical if new work is not to dominate or detract from the church. To help in this regard some development guidelines are provided later in this conservation plan. The report also includes policies to guard against over-commercialisation of the site, which could inadvertently lead to a diminution of its spiritual, commemorative and celebratory uses. The church building is well cared for by volunteers, however to ensure that information is transferred to subsequent groups it is recommended that long-term strategies, such as the development of a maintenance plan, are implemented and regularly updated. A list of maintenance work identified by current and former church wardens has been included in the Appendix.

Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • Absence and Presence: a Historiography of Early Women Architects in New South Wales
    ABSENCE AND PRESENCE: A HISTORIOGRAPHY OF EARLY WOMEN ARCHITECTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES Bronwyn J. Hanna Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales 1999 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Women architects are effectively absent from architectural history in Australia. Consulting first the archival record, this thesis establishes the presence of 230 women architects qualified and/or practising in NSW between 1900 and 1960. It then analyses some of these early women architects’ achievements and difficulties in the profession, drawing on interviews with 70 practitioners or their friends and family. Finally it offers brief biographical accounts of eight leading early women architects, arguing that their achievements deserve more widespread historical attention in an adjusted canon of architectural merit. There are also 152 illustrations evidencing their design contributions. Thus the research draws on quantitative, qualitative, biographical and visual modes of representation in establishing a historical presence for these early women architects. The thesis forms part of the widespread political project of feminist historical recovery of women forebears, while also interrogating the ends and means of such historiography. The various threads describing women’s absence and presence in the architectural profession are woven together throughout the thesis using three feminist approaches which sometimes harmonise and sometimes debate with each other.

  • Oaks Estate Master Plan
    OAKS ESTATE MASTER PLAN European Cultural Landscape Assessment MAY 2013 Navin Officer heritage consultants Pty Ltd acn: 092 901 605 Number 4 Kingston Warehouse 71 Leichhardt St. Kingston ACT 2604 ph 02 6282 9415 fx 02 6282 9416 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Design Partnership is preparing a Master Plan for Oaks Estate, a rural village situated on the ACT/NSW border approximately 12 km from the centre of Canberra, adjacent to the township of Queanbeyan. Recent information from a member of the public has put into question the current boundary of the heritage study area for this plan instead arguing that a much wider area should be incorporated into the Master Plan. Consequently, an assessment of the European cultural landscape of Oaks Estate was required. This report documents the results of an assessment of the European cultural landscape surrounding Oaks Estate and provides conclusions on whether this wider landscape should be included in the heritage assessment of Oaks Estate. It found that the argument for the expanded Oaks Estate heritage study area was one of keeping the pastoral setting of the current residential development intact. Therefore, it is an issue relating to the current perceptions of the community with the Oaks Estate rather than one of the actual heritage connections between this landscape and the estate. It is concluded that the proposed expanded area does not contain sites or landscapes of sufficient association to Oaks Estate that would warrant their inclusion in the heritage assessment of Oaks Estate. It is recommended that: • During the course of the heritage assessment and Master Planning process the views of the community regarding the surrounding pastoral landscape of Oaks Estate should be considered.

  • NON-STATUTORY BACKGROUND INFORMATION for SACRED HEART CHURCH, CALWELL
    NON-STATUTORY BACKGROUND INFORMATION For SACRED HEART CHURCH, CALWELL As of 14 July 2008 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PLACE • Sacred Heart Church, Casey Crescent, Blocks 15 and 16 (part), Section 796, Suburb of Calwell, ACT HISTORY OF THE PLACE European history in the Tuggeranong Valley area of the ACT began when Charles Throsby reached the Murrumbidgee River near where Tharwa now stands, in 1821. In 1823 Captain Mark Currie, RN, led an excursion to the Monaro, crossing the Limestone Plains and Isabella Plains, which they named after the Governor's daughter, Isabella Brisbane (Gillespie, 1991:8). The Valley was gradually settled and came to be centred on the large grazing stations of Lanyon and Tuggeranong (also known as Wanniassa). None of the early land holders were Catholic, but a significant community of Catholics soon grew from the assigned convict workers, ticket-of-leave women and men and tenant farmers. After the Land Acts were passed in 1861, the number of Catholics grew with the arrival of the land selectors. The community included the families Pike, Brennan, Sheedy, Fitzgerald, Gallagher, Morrison, Sullivan, Ryan, Smith and Wallace. With no church in the area for many years to come, the homes of Michael Gallagher, Martin Pike and John Brennan were used to hold regular "Station Masses" for the Catholic families. By 1900 the Tuggeranong community had strengthened and saw the need for its own church. The Pastor of Queanbeyan, Father Richard Cullender, approached James Cunningham, owner of Tuggeranong Station, to request a small piece of land for the church. Many local Catholics doubted that Cunningham would be sympathetic but Father Cullender’s approach was successful.

    QUEANBEYAN NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service November 1999 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 23rd November 1999. Acknowledgments: This plan of management was prepared by the Queanbeyan District Office in consultation with the Southern Zone and the Planning Unit of the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Particular acknowledgment is made of the draft Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Button Wrinklewort) Recovery Plan, J. D. Briggs and V. T. Corrigan (1998), and input from the Recovery Team. Photograph of Queanbeyan Nature Reserve by Valda Corrigan. Crown Copyright 1999: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. ISBN 0 7313 6107 5 ii FOREWORD Queanbeyan Nature Reserve is located in Letchworth, a western suburb of the city of Queanbeyan, on the Southern Tablelands of NSW. It is a small area (2.241 ha) of mainly open grassy woodland and grassland which contains the endangered button wrinklewort Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Schedule 1 Part 1 Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995). In the Queanbeyan-Canberra area, much of the remaining grassy woodland and grassland communities are found in small, often disturbed remnants which have been severely modified. The habitat of R. leptorrhynchoides has been subject to clearing for both agriculture and urban development, application of fertilisers, weed invasion and probably an altered fire regime. Queanbeyan Nature Reserve contains the only population of R. leptorrhynchoides that is formally protected in NSW. The primary purpose of the reserve is to preserve this population and its habitat. Secondary objectives are to protect a sample of grassy woodland and natural temperate grassland and manage the area in a regional context.

    ATTACHMENT B ATTACHMENT B CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN ATTACHMENT B 142-144 PITT STREET, SYDNEY C ONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared for Gwynvill Properties May 2012 Issue B ATTACHMENT B 142-144 PITT STREET, SYDNEY – CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 142-144 Pitt Street was designed by architects Adolphus Gustavus Morell in association with R H Robertson. It was constructed for the Australian Mutual Fire Insurance Society and completed in June 1883. The three storey building, an exuberant essay in the Victorian Free Classical style, originally boasted a tall tower rising above the intersection of King and Pitt Streets and figurative groups of symbolic statuary by Tomaso Sani mounted above the King and Pitt Street façades. 142-144 Pitt Street made (and continues to make) a distinguished contribution to this part of the City of Sydney. The building was modified in 1919 to the design of Robertson & Marks after the Australian Mutual Fire Insurance Society relocated to other premises in September that year. Its ground floor was adapted for retail uses, an awning was installed, and shopfronts replaced original ground floor windows and doors. Significant elements, including the tower and statuary, were removed. 142-144 Pitt Street was sold to Saunders Limited in January 1935 and underwent further modification, again to the design of Robertson & Marks. The building remained in the possession of Saunders Limited until 1987, during which time it underwent further modification and occupation by a succession of tenants. It was then acquired by Portmans Consolidated Pty Ltd, which sold it to Gwynvill Syndicate in 1990. Major refurbishment and conservation works took place between 2002 and 2011.
