The National Trust of Australia (ACT) is a not for profit community organisation with over 1,300 members and is widely respected in the community. The Trust’s role is to foster public knowledge about places and objects that are significant to our heritage, and promote their conservation. The Trust is supportive of properly considered high quality development. While we support the overall intent of the draft amendment we suggest tightening up of the language, restructuring the content, including clear statements of objectives for each of the detailed conditions (p11 onwards), and adding provisions that clarify certain aspects of these rules. Public art and play space within new developments and redevelopments should also be encouraged. Garden City is more than a Bush Capital At the same time we strongly believe it essential that urban design provisions are accompanied by and balanced with clear and consistent quality objectives, stringent planning controls that reward merit and reject mediocrity, and regulatory practices and enforcement that protect and enhance Canberra’s unique sense of place. -
Canberra Bird Notes
Canberra bird notes ISSN 0314-8211 Volume 4 Number 8 EDITORIAL We have a lead time of approximately two months for the production of Canberra Bird Notes. Normally we publish the Annual Bird Report in October each year, but as much of the material on which the report is based is not in the hands of the Records Officer until the July meeting, production of the ABR has always been something of a rush. We are hopeful that C.O.G. will have a larger volume of records available in future from which to prepare the ABR, so this is an appropriate time to put its publication back to the January issue. CBN 4 8 1 October 1979 NOTES ON THE BACKGROUND OF ‘BIRDS IN THE AUSTRALIAN HIGH COUNTRY’ Betty Temple Watts In 1958 Robert Carrick suggested that I should do illustrations for a book on the A.C.T. birds. I did one plate of the Ibis and Spoonbills before coming to Canberra to live. Warren Hitchcock, John Calaby, Robert Carrick and I made a list of the birds which had been recorded in the A.C.T. and added some which we thought might turn up. We divided these into a series of plates for me to draw. Five of these were not altered after they were finished. All the others were drawn and redrawn as new birds were found and had to be fitted in. I was greatly helped in learning about the trees and plants which I needed for the illustrations by Alec Costin and Nancy Burbidge, both scientists with CSIRO. -
