He attended five different schools, completing schooling at Wesley College, Melbourne and began to study architecture at Melbourne University in 1955. He completed his degree and a diploma in town planning and then worked as an architect in Melbourne and Brisbane. He married in 1964 before going to work in the UK in 1965. There he worked as an architect-planner, at Greater London Council and in Scotland on the development of Livingston New Town. With plans to return to Australia he responded to a recruitment drive by the National Capital Development Commission and after an interview in London was offered the position of Town Planner class 3. Geoff, his wife and young daughter arrived in Canberra in 1970 when he took up the position. Geoff stayed at the NCDC until it closed in 1988. He was Chief Planner from 1978-89. He was then appointed Chief Planner to the Interim Territory Planning Authority. With the completion of the new planning legislation and the draft Territory Plan he became a consultant to Deputy Prime Minister, Brian Howe on the Federal Government’s Building Better Cities program. In 1996 he joined the Centre for Developing Cities at the University of Canberra and was later involved in the University’s planning courses. He officially retired in 2008. He played an active role in the restructuring of the Planning Institute of Australia. TIMED SUMMARY: GEOFF CAMPBELL Interview: 21/9/12 Session #1 time subjects proper names 0:00:00 Introduction.

  • ACT Heritage Library Strategic Plan 2018–2023
    A CAPITAL IDENTITY ACT Heritage Library Strategic Plan 2018–2023 “From the strength of our heritage, values and identity we embrace the future and welcome all to ‘choose Canberra’, to come and help shape its further success.” - Andrew Barr, Chief Minister ACT Government, Statement of Ambition FOREWORD The ACT Heritage Library Strategic Plan 2018–2023 explains the crucial role the ACT Heritage Library plays for Canberra, ponders the future, and outlines priorities for the library over the next five years. Canberra has a long history, beginning with its first people, who have been here for thousands of years. Since becoming the site of Australia’s capital city just over 100 years ago, Canberra has become home to a vibrant and diverse community. Its many people, organisations, places and events play an important part in creating this place we call home. Our history and the stories that come from it contribute to our community identity, and to study and learn from this past, we must have a record of it to refer to in the future. By delivering the activities of this strategy, the ACT Heritage Library will continue collecting, preserving, promoting and providing access to documents that record our history, striving to achieve the identity and heritage declared in the ACT Government’s Statement of Ambition. Meegan Fitzharris MLA Minister for Transport and City Services ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY We acknowledge the traditional Custodians of the ACT, the Ngunnawal people. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
