Secondary students have been very fortunate to have worked closely with Mandy Rossetto, Manager of the Beacon Foundation and a number of businesses. They have gained valuable work related skills and attended lead- ership courses, speed careering, mock interviews, high im- pact programs, and industry visits. It was great to hear from the students who have achieved so much from these experi- ences and Saiyuri, Jordan and Ian did a great job, together Term 4 is flying by and it is a time of celebration of 2016 with the Year 12 Food and Hospitality class. We are looking achievements as well as some important planning for 2017. for more business contacts and if you are able to assist in anyway, please contact the school office.

    Light Years Ahead: The Role of Design, Survey and Land Management in This is a Peer ReviewedDisaster Paper Risk Management and Future-Proofing Adelaide FIG Working Week 2016 Kelly HENDERSON, Australia Key words: Spatial planning, Risk management, Historical surveys, Land management SUMMARY Colonel William Light, South Australia’s first Surveyor-General, designed a remarkable spatial layout for the District of Adelaide with great resolve, against concerted opposition. Withstanding sustained attack for his site selection and separation of the City and Port of Adelaide, he applied experience gained during military service in the British Royal Navy and as a reconnaissance officer and Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General in Wellington’s Army in the Iberian Peninsula. Modern scientific modelling indicates Light’s determination to place urban form on rising ground clear of areas liable to inundation future-proofed the City, guarding it from disasters such as dambreak and probable maximum flood. Providing ongoing benefit and inspiration, his sustainable framework set a benchmark for disaster risk management more than one and a half centuries before the River Torrens Flood Inundation Mapping Study recommended identical measures to reduce future flood damage. This paper considers Light’s disaster risk minimisation design methodology, trigonometrical survey establishing the District’s spatial layout, and details of the original triangulation of the Adelaide Plains, watercourses, reserves and Port Adelaide River.

  • Victoria Square's $100M Makeover
    Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Association Inc PO Box 3040 Rundle Mall SA 5000 www.adelaide-parklands.org 9 June 2010 Mr Peter Smith Chief Executive Officer Att: Manager City Design (Ref: Victoria Square) Corporation of the City of Adelaide 25 Pirie Street ADELAIDE VICTORIA SQUARE/TARNDANYANGGA DRAFT MASTERPLAN Victoria Square is a key component of William Light’s Adelaide Plan, and Adelaide’s potential to meet at least six State Heritage criteria and three World Heritage criteria has previously been identified. Council would also be aware of the City of Adelaide’s forthcoming 175th anniversary, which will coincide with the Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Association’s 25th anniversary. In light of these circumstances, the draft masterplan is disappointing, as it seems to be unaware of higher aspirations for promoting Adelaide internationally, does not intend progress towards these, and seems to intend destruction of several aspects of Victoria Square’s distinctive heritage. The Association would have welcomed restoration of Victoria Square that respected and conserved the site, returned excess roadways and hard surfaces to accessible green open space, and repaired damage caused by inappropriate event usage. The Association would also have preferred to assist the Corporation to address errors and omissions in the Victoria Square draft masterplan ahead of its release for public consultation. Having been denied that opportunity and given its current unsuitable form, the Association is unable to support the draft masterplan design proposed for Victoria Square on several grounds, and provides herein detailed comment on the following: 1. lack of credibility and unwarranted cost; 2. failure to recognise and conserve Victoria Square’s landscape, natural and cultural heritage significance including vistas into, from, through, and within the Square, and 3.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.

  • FINAL Adelaide Park Lands Heritage Assessment 190122
    Heritage Assessment – Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares Issue Date: 17-May-2018 HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Adelaide Park Lands, Squares and PLACE: 13717 City Layout ADDRESS: Park Lands, Adelaide, South Australia APPROACH DASH Architects was engaged by the State Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) to undertake a Heritage Assessment of the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’ for the consideration of the South Australian Heritage Council. Two nominations were received for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares in 2009: • ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’; and • ‘Adelaide Park Lands, City Squares and Gardens’. This Heritage Assessment (report) has considered to the two State heritage nominations, as well as the 2008 National Heritage Listing for the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout’. There are many individual places that have already been identified as being of State Heritage significance in their own right within the study area of this report. The scope of this assessment is not to review these, encompass them in a single listing or identify potential additional places. Rather, the scope of this assessment is to consider the nominations ‘as a whole of place’, rather than a collection of elements. DRAFT The Authors of this report have determined that it is not possible to consider the potential heritage significance of the Adelaide Park Lands and Squares without considering their historical and physical context within both Edward Wakefield’s theories for the colonial settlement of the State of South Australia, and Colonel William Light’s subsequent plan for its capital. For this reason, this Heritage Assessment has been extended beyond the nominations to consider the potential heritage significance of the City Layout, as represented in Light’s 1837 plan.

  • From the Collection of the Royal Geographical Society of S.A. Inc
    From the collection of the Royal Geographical Society of S.A. Inc. Colonel William Light and the Survey 1836-18381. The reasons that led me to fix Adelaide where it is I do not expect to be generally understood or calmly judged of at present. My enemies, however, by disputing their validity in every particular, have done me the good service of fixing the whole of the responsibility upon me. I am perfectly willing to bear it; and I leave it to posterity, and not to them, to decide whether I am entitled to praise or to blame. Thebarton Cottage, near Adelaide, 28th March, 1839. (Colonel Light portrait in the collection of the Royal Geographical Society of S.A.) The choice he made secured the welfare of the settlement. South Australia was settled on the Wakefield system, and was to be a self-supporting colony. It was the first scientific attempt that was made to settle people on the land in a distant dependency. To the success of that enterprise fertile land and plenty of it was an indispensable condition, but if Port Lincoln or Encounter Bay had been chosen as the capital there would have been no South Australia in the year of grace 1905. The early settlers would have drifted away to Melbourne, Sydney, or Hobart Town, or back to England in disgust, and the site of this great city and its suburbs would to-day in all probability be only an outlying pastoral district of Victoria or New South Wales. S.A. Register June 2nd 1905 LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS2 by the Colonization Commissioners for South Australia to Colonel William Light, Surveyor- General for the Colony of South- Australia.
