It is now a vibrant suburb with its university, its diversity of homes along ridgebacks and its high rise units along the river. St Lucia, more than any other suburb in Brisbane, is surrounded and dominated by the Brisbane river and it makes us remember the horrific floods of 1893, 1931 and 1974 when the water rushed over the lowlands of the peninsula and we think: ‘What was it like 150 years ago when St Lucia was still virgin bush?’. It is said that Aboriginals camped along Sandy Creek which runs through the St Lucia golf course but it is only after European settlement that we can get a true picture of how our suburb began.

All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000.

  • Report – Valuing the Queensland Museum
    "People rightly ask what is the contribution made to the lives of Queenslanders by our cultural organisations. The Queensland Museum and cultural organisations in general must be prepared to respond in an informed way. This is especially true in challenging economic times as the Museum plans the next developments on its campuses throughout the State. Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingency Valuation Study provides a new way of assessing the public value of the Queensland Museum. The Study presents evidence of this ongoing value in economic terms, based on sound, well-established survey and analysis techniques. The findings are comprehensive and provide a clear picture of the Museum's importance to its various stakeholders state-wide. This is the first time a cultural organisation in Australia has conducted such a study and it provides a model that might usefully be an exemplar for other organisations. I congratulate all those involved in the Study, both for the rigour of the research and analysis process and for the clarity of the reported outcomes. I commend the Study to our many supporters and friends. These are very exciting times for our Museum. Peter Swannell AM, Chair Board of the Queensland Museum The Queensland Museum wishes to thank Gillian Savage and Dr Rob Hall from Environmentrics and Professor David Throsby from Macquarie University for their support in developing and implementing this CVM Study of the Queensland Museum. As well the Museum expresses it’s thanks to McNair Ingenuity Research for conducting the actual web-based survey. 1 Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingent Valuation Study 2008 Report prepared by Deborah Tranter April 2009 On behalf of the Steering Committee: Deborah Tranter Director, Cobb+Co Museum and Regional Services Sarah Perrott Manager- Corporate Communications and Marketing Stephanie Tickle Project Manager, Corporate Services and Business Development 2 3 CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY................................................................................................
