  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

    Role Play CAN YOU SAVE THE NATIONAL CAPITAL? Role Play CAN YOU SAVE THE NATIONAL CAPITAL? STEP 1 Questions for you to discuss 1 What is this building? 2 Who are the people in the room inside the building? 3 What are they doing? 4 These people are our representatives. What does that mean? 5 Why do we have laws that apply to all people equally in Australia? STEP 2 Imagine you have been asked to write a message that will be put at the front of this building. Here is the start of the message. How will you finish it? “This place is important to all Australians because . “ If you cannot answer any of these questions look at the clues. But do not look at them unless you really have to. When you have worked out the message you need to present that message to the rest of the class. But we do not want you to TELL them what your message is, we want you to SHOW them through a role play! STEP 3 Work out your role play to get your message across to the rest of your class You have created your message. It will be something like: “This place is important to all Australians because it is where the representatives we elect to Parliament meet to pass laws for all Australians.” How can you get this message across in your role play?

  • Place Details
    Australian Heritage Database Page 1 of 4 Place Details Send Feedback Parliament House Vista Extension - Portal Buildings, Anzac Pde, Parkes, ACT, Australia Photographs None List Commonwealth Heritage List Class Historic Legal Status Listed place (22/06/2004) Place ID 105474 Place File No 8/01/000/0497 Summary Statement of Significance The Portal Buildings are important for their association with the push to transfer public servants from Melbourne to Canberra in the 1960s under the Liberal Government of Sir Robert Menzies. They are also important for their association with the consultancy of Sir William Holford and the views of the Senate Select Committee, which saw Canberra as a unified city in which background buildings in a monumental style functioned both as symbols of government and Australian unity. In this respect the Portal buildings are an expresssion of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) which adopted the views of Holford and the Senate, and interpreted them in terms of the formal composition of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra, with its cumulative massing, axiality and avenues. (Criterion A.4 and criterion H.1) (Themes: 4.2 Supplying urban services, 5.4 Working in offices, 7.5 Developing administrative structures and authorities) As symbols of government, the monumental Portal Buildings are located on Walter Burley Griffin's land axis, Anzac Parade, and the municipal axis, Consitution Avenue, which defines the northern side of the Parliamentary Triangle area in the heart of Canberra, and frame the Parliamentary vista at its transition from land to lake. The Portal Buildings exhibit a monumental character through strongly modelled structural bays, emphasised by the vertical emphasis of the columns and the use of sandstone cladding to the structural elements of the elevations, and are important elements of Civic Design in the urban setting of Canberra.
