  • Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital
    Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital Preliminary Aboriginal Heritage Assessment Report to City Plan Heritage June 2015 Page i Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Plan Heritage has engaged Artefact Heritage to prepare a Preliminary Aboriginal Heritage Assessment for the proposed redevelopment of Gosford Hospital (the study area). The study area includes land bounded by Racecourse Road to the north, Showground Road to the east, Faunce Street to the south and Cape Street/Beane Street to the west. The aims of this report are to identify any Aboriginal sites which may be present within the study area and to assess the potential for as yet unidentified Aboriginal archaeology to be present within the study area. The background research indicates that the geology of the study area consists of Terrigal Formation deposits, which supported a rich array of flora and fauna. Narara Creek is located 600 metres to the north-west of the study area; which drains directly into Brisbane Water to the south. Therefore the area would have had a large array of subsistence resources available to Aboriginal people. The study area is located on a ridge top, which offers an elevated, dry camping location, surrounded by numerous subsistence resources. No previously recorded Aboriginal sites were located within the study area. An extensive search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information System (AHIMS) indicated that forty-one Aboriginal sites were located in the surrounding region. The AHIMS search revealed that spatial patterning of sites in the region are situated outside of the Gosford developed areas; located within surrounding bushland.

The proposal involves the widening of both roads and the intersection between them, and the replacement of the existing roundabout with a set of traffic signals. A new bridge over the railway line is proposed to be constructed beside the existing Wyong Road Bridge. This Aboriginal Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) complies with Stage 2 of the RMS Procedure for Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation and Investigation (PACHCI), as well as the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) regulations, including the Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in New South Wales 2010, and the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010. No Aboriginal sites were located during the site survey, and the study area is assessed as having low archaeological potential and low archaeological significance due to the high levels of disturbance throughout.

  • “Gateway to the Sideline”: Brand Communication on Social Media at Large-Scale Sporting Events
    “GATEWAY TO THE SIDELINE”: BRAND COMMUNICATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AT LARGE-SCALE SPORTING EVENTS Portia Vann Bachelor of Media and Communication (Hons.), Bachelor of Business (Marketing) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Media Research Centre Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Social media, sport, netball, soccer, football, digital media, branding, sport communications, sport media “Gateway to the Sideline”: Brand communication on social media at large-scale sporting events i Abstract Social media platforms have become an essential component of a transmedia sport experience for fans. This has significant implications for sport organisations, which now need to strategically incorporate social media platforms into a communications plan alongside their traditional media counterparts. The emergence of social media as a popular form of communication in sport also provides opportunities for sport organisations, as they no longer rely on one-way methods of distribution through mainstream media platforms, and instead can connect with fans directly via social media. Initially, sport organisations took an ad hoc approach to social media strategy, yet as the use of social media in sport becomes increasingly normalised, and the affordances of social media platforms present opportunities to engage with new and existing sport fans, approaches to social media communications have become more strategic. Existing research has examined many aspects of the role social media plays in the transmedia sport experience, from the perspectives of fans and organisations. However, the approaches and strategies social media teams use within sport organisations remain largely unexamined from an inside perspective. Thus, the aim of this research is to document exactly how sport organisations use social media for communication, the motivations and considerations behind this use, and the tensions between sport fans and organisations that arise on social media surrounding the discussion of sport.
