Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a List for Each State, Territory and Region…
Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a list for each state, territory and region… The AGHS are keen to find out from you which ten gardens in your region, state or territory – public and private – you think are remarkable or notable in that area. This might be for their heritage significance, their quality, or their intactness or ‘integrity’ (e.g. of an era, or style). It might be for their historic, expression of their geographic location, their style or design or their ‘intact’ character. They may be heritage-listed, in recognition of this – or unsung gems. Below are some ideas of ours as a start, with some reasons why. In two lists: ‘Public’ and ‘Private’. They are listed in chronological order – i.e. oldest garden to youngest. This in no way makes judgements about any being ‘better’ than any others – just ‘remarkable’ in that state or area. By ‘Public’ we mean publicly owned, and open to the public. So parks, botanic gardens and the like. NB: this does not imply ‘free’ entry, necessarily. With increasing budget stringency, some ‘Public’ gardens now charge fees for entry, to help cover maintenance costs. An example are the suite of properties, some with well renowned historic gardens, run by Sydney Living Museums, e.g. Elizabeth Farm, Parramatta, NSW and Vaucluse House garden, Vaucluse, NSW. Universities are ‘private’ entities, and ‘private’ means privately-owned, some of which are opened to the public (usually for a fee). Again, the emphasis is not on whether entry is free or paid – it is on ownership and accessibility. AGHS membership often means that members can access privately- owned gardens that do not, normally, or frequently, open to the general public. -

Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) UOW program manager Nadia Neal says there is clear evidence that participating in AIME gives Indigenous high school students the skills, opportunities and confi dence to complete high school and successfully move on to tertiary education (Story: Page 4) UUOWOW 555656 CCommunityBrochure.inddommunityBrochure.indd 2 111/07/121/07/12 111:061:06 AMAM Vice-Chancellor’s message: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AT THE HEART OF OUR UNIVERSITY The University of Wollongong traces its origins to a community fund- raising campaign more than half a century ago that provided the foundations for a small technical-based college to grow into the world- class institution it is today. So it stands to reason that UOW has maintained a close connection with the community of the Illawarra and South Coast of New South Wales ever since. This relationship was recognised in 2012 when the inaugural QS Intelligence Unit benchmarking audit of the world’s universities gave UOW 50 out of 50 points for engagement as part of a fi ve-star ranking for UOW across the audit’s six criteria of employability, teaching, infrastructure, internationalism, innovation and engagement. While the University is proudly international in our outlook, we arguably have never been more connected to our home community, through our main campus and the Innovation Campus in Wollongong and our facilities in the Shoalhaven, Batemans Bay, Bega, Moss Vale, Loftus and the Sydney CBD. -

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) (s266B) Conservation Advice (incorporating listing advice) for Robertson Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion 1. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) was set up under the EPBC Act to give advice to the Minister for the Environment (the Minister) in relation to the listing and conservation of threatened ecological communities, including under sections 189, 194N and 266B of the EPBC Act. 2. The Committee conducted a listing assessment following the ecological community being placed on the 2017 Finalised Priority Assessment List. 3. The Committee provided its advice on the Robertson Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion ecological community to the Minister in 2019. The Committee recommended that: o the ecological community merits listing as Critically Endangered; and o a recovery plan is not required for the ecological community at this time. 4. A draft conservation advice for this ecological community was made available for expert and public comment for a minimum of 30 business days. The Committee and Minister had regard to all public and expert comment that is relevant to the consideration of the ecological community for listing. 5. In 2019 the Minister accepted the Committee’s advice, adopted this document as the approved conservation advice and agreed no recovery plan is required at this time. The Minister amended the list of threatened ecological communities under section 184 of the EPBC Act to include Robertson Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion ecological community in the critically endangered category. 6. At the time of this advice, this ecological community was also listed as threatened under the New South Wales Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. -

NSW South Coast & Canberra .Indd
Your great Australian journey starts here NSW SOUTH COAST AND CANBERRA Length: 5–7 days Fly/drive option: Sydney, Canberra This short tour has plenty of gleaming highlights, whether it’s the whitewash and history of Old Parliament House or the brilliant white sands of Jervis Bay.
