Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy. -

November 2015
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. -

A27 Route Strategy Introduction
A27 Route Strategy Introduction This presentation covers ● Study objectives ● Guiding Principles ● Initial options sifting ● Three package assessment ● Preferred package assessment – Description – Cost – Cost benefit analysis ● Wider impacts ● Complementary strategy ● Delivery plan ● Conclusions 2 Study Objectives Specific objectives for the schemes were defined that reflected challenges and opportunities in the study area: ● Improve journey times and journey time reliability for strategic (longer distance traffic) on the A27, whilst ensuring the dual function of the A27 as a longer distance strategic route and a local access route is maintained; ● Improve access by private and public transport to key employment and regeneration areas within Coastal West Sussex; ● Enable proposed housing, employment and retail growth to take place within Coastal West Sussex without undue congestion; ● Improve connectivity to/from the Manhood Peninsula (including Selsey and the Witterings). A set of guiding principles were developed to steer decision making. 3 Guiding Principles Strategic: ● Study objectives need to fit with wider transport and government objectives, including those of WSCC and the Highways Agency; ● Interventions should be affordable and achievable in the short term, but should not prejudice longer term aspirations for the route (considered at this stage to be the Chichester fly-overs, Arundel By-pass and Worthing by-pass); ● Complementary local transport strategies will be required for Chichester, Arundel, and Worthing / Lancing to lock in the benefits of the identified strategy, and address residual problems on the network; ● Wider impacts on local traffic will need to be considered alongside improvements for strategic traffic on the A27 itself. E.g. Options such as closing of roundabouts or banning right turns, which benefit through movements on the A27, may have significant adverse impacts on access to urban areas or use of other local routes. -
Short-Term Custodial Design Is Outdated
