  • St Thomas Rest Park Conservation Management Plan
    ITEM CLS08 REPORTS 15/12/14 NORTH SYDNEY COUNCIL REPORTS Report to General Manager Attachments: 1. St Thomas Rest Park CMP October 2014 SUBJECT: St Thomas Rest Park Conservation Management Plan AUTHOR: Ian Hoskins, Council Historian ENDORSED BY: Martin Ellis, Director Community and Library Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The need for a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was identified in the North Sydney Council Plan of Management (PoM) for St Thomas’ Rest Park. The primary objective of the CMP is to guide the conservation of St Thomas’ Rest Park and its ability to act as a source of information for visitors interested in the history of the North Sydney area, St Thomas’ Church and the former Cemetery itself. The CMP investigates the potential state significance of the cemetery based on the people interred there and its historical significance, including the use of the cemetery as an unofficial naval/maritime cemetery. The CMP recommends North Sydney Council carry out the assessment of individual monuments and headstones in accordance with the National Trust “Guidelines for Cemetery Conservation”. This will provide better guidance for the ongoing restoration, general maintenance and management of the Rest Park. The CMP identifies the circumstances in which the relocation and restanding of monuments and headstones will be acceptable and possible compatible uses within the Rest Park including anastylosis, a memorial wall and columbarium. It also considers additional educational opportunities within the Rest Park and potential research opportunities. 8 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: A request for funds to begin implementing the recommendations of the CMP in both 2015/16 and 2016/17 has been submitted to the upcoming estimates process.

  • The Hunters' Tryst
    The Hunters’ Tryst Publisher Billy Hunter C.O. Editor Bill Hunter 1st Edition—Internet November 2006 Dear Clans folk It has been sometime since I wrote to you all and hope to find every Hunter in good heart. I know you will join me in thanking all our Clan members who have attended Games over the last summer, for their support of our Clan and their enthusiasm and time and effort. It is very much appreciated. Being a member of Clan Hunter should be a pleasure and interesting. Meeting up at Highland Games is a great way to re-affirm our interest in our Scottish heri- tage, meet those with similar interest and have a good time. Recently, the St. Andrew’s Society of Manchester have invited myself to be the First lady Chief Guest of the Society. They are a very prestigious St. Andrews Society, which started in 1876. It is a very great honour for myself as Clan Chief and for the Hunter Clan. The dinner will be held on St. Andrew’s day, which is exceptional too. Next year. 2007, is our International Gathering at Hunterston Castle. It is also the celebration of the Hunters having been at Hunterston for 900 years It is interesting to think back to the days when the first Hunter, Norman Venator arrived at Hunterston, which was then marsh and woodland and to look at the Hunters now, who live in many countries. I’m sure that they would be proud that we have grown in numbers and still value our ancestry.
