Documents provided by the developer including the Structure Plans and other heritage related proposals and reports has formed the basis of this report. The Belle View Conservation Plan by Rosemary Rosario Pty Ltd, October 2014 (based on a 2006 Conservation Plan) has been used as the main reference document. There are complex planning and environmental approvals and issues associated with this site. This heritage impact statement considers these challenges and presents recommendations for future actions based on sound heritage principles to accompany proposals to the responsible agencies as part of normal approval processes. 1.1 LOCATION ‘Belle View’ is located at Lot 800, Wilkins Street, Bellevue approximately 20kms north east of Perth within the Shire of Mundaring. The entire lot is bound by Roe Highway to the west, Wilkins Street to the north, Katherine Street to the east and it includes the Helena River to the south. Figure 1: Belle View is located approx. 20kms north east of Perth (indicated by the red star).

Source: local.wa.gov.au 1.2 HERITAGE LISTINGS Belle View has been included in the following registers: National Trust of Australia (WA), Classified, 3rd August 1992 Shire of Mundaring, Municipal Inventory, 23 April 1997 State Heritage Office, State Heritage of Heritage Places (Permanent entry), 2 June 1998 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 HISTORY Belle View was constructed for Edwards Robinson in 1887 who had arrived in Fremantle with his mother and siblings in 1842. After his mother re-married John Seabrook (Snr), the family moved to Brookton. Robertson worked as a shepherd before later entering into a partnership with his brother where they established the property ‘Croydon’ in 1874. In 1886, Robinson sold his share and purchased 750 acres in the Helena Valley (formally part of Stirling’s Woodbridge grant).1 The Helena Valley property was developed into a dairy with a residence including attached service areas (kitchen, servant’s quarters etc.), various outbuildings and stables. After the death of Robinson’s wife in 1909, the property was leased before later being sold by his nephew after his death in 1913. The property was purchased by Elder Smith and Co. and the place was leased out.2 In 1965, service areas were demolished and a kitchen was installed in the main residence. Elder Smith and Co. sold the property in 1987 and the residence continued to be leased. The residence 1 National Trust of Australia (WA), Classification assessment, Belle View, 1992 2 National Trust of Australia (WA), Classification assessment, Belle View, 1992 3 FINAL August 2015 Belle View: Heritage Impact Statement and stables were Classified by the National Trust in 1992. In 1996, a demolition order was approved for the residence and elements such as the fireplace surrounds, skirting, joinery etc. were removed. The original plasterwork to the ceiling roses, cornices and main hallway were left intact. As a result of a Conservation Order, the demolition order was put on hold while the place was assessed for inclusion in the State Register of Heritage Places. This was approved in 1998 and the place was left vacant.3 In 2001, the current owner purchased the property and plans are underway to subdivide and develop the former farm which is surrounded by industrial and residential development. The residence is unsecured leaving the place vulnerable to further deterioration and the stables is also is poor condition.4 2.2 BRIEF PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The subject property is located to the east of Roe Highway and is accessed from Wilkins Street. The lot is mainly flat, open pasture (cattle grazing) with a steep embankment at the western boundary to a small stream as well as another embankment towards the southern portion of the lot. The Helena River and smaller watercourses runs through this area. Some remnants of natural bushland are present, predominantly along the Helena River. There are several buildings on site centred around the end of the main driveway including the residence, stables, two sheds or barns, a transportable office and a second dwelling as well as associated structures including tanks, work yards and fencing. The residence and stables only are considered to contribute to the heritage significance of the area as described in the heritage listings. The barn located between the two heritage buildings is a non-descript, utilitarian building with no discernible heritage values however according to the Conservation Plan, some window and door elements from the residence may be stored here (p 24). The residence is described as, ‘a substantial rectangular shaped brick and iron building with a complex, hipped roof form’ (Conservation Plan, p 32). The main entrance to the place is accessed via the north elevation and the place featured wrap around verandahs which are now missing apart from the eastern elevation which retains the original ‘Gospel Oak’ corrugated galvanised iron. All openings are missing frames and window/door. There is a brick gable parapet forward of the north elevation near the entrance and a pair of faceted bays to the east elevation. There are remnants of the timber verandah to the southern elevation

  • 1 Comment Attached to Submission on Registration, from Dr Bruce Baskerville, on Proposed Listing of Guildford Historic Town, P2
    Comment attached to Submission on Registration, from Dr Bruce Baskerville, on Proposed Listing of Guildford Historic Town, P2915 Due COB Friday 19 October 2018 1. Name of item P2915 should be ‘Town of Guildford’ Guildford today is a living community and living place, it is not a historic relic frozen in time. The proposed name of Guildford Historic Town suggests otherwise. The qualifier ‘historic’ is both superfluous and misleading, suggesting the current place is a museum artefact. A ‘historic town’ may be considered as a class of category of heritage item in some statutory or community heritage systems, but that is not the same as a proper toponym or place name. The Guildford Town Trust was established in 1843, the second town trust established after Perth, and from then on at least the name Town of Guildford conveyed a sense of the importance of the town.1 In 1871 the Town Trust was replaced by a municipal council with style of the ‘The Council and Burgesses of the Town of Guildford’, and the first elections were held on 2 March 1871 for councillors.2 This was the second municipal election, after Fremantle, held under the new Municipal Institutions Act 1871. The municipal council of the Town of Guildford survived until 1961. Today, the name Town of Guildford survives in real place names such as Guildford Town Wharf, Guildford Town Hall & Library (heritage place P02460), and in business names such as Guildford Town Garden Centre. The name Town of Guildford better reflects the historical development and continuing vitality and character of the town than the proposed Guildford Historic Town name.

  • The Effects of Freshwater Flows and Salinity on Phytoplankton Biomass and Composition in an Urban Estuary, the Swan River, Western Australia
    preprint – 1 of 7 The Effects of Freshwater Flows and Salinity on Phytoplankton Biomass and Composition in an Urban Estuary, The Swan River, Western Australia D. P. Hamilton, T. U. Chan, B. J. Robson and B. R. Hodges1 Centre for Water Research, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, WA 6907, Australia ABSTRACT Estuarine residence times regulate not only biomass, but also phytoplankton succession. In the Swan River estuary, Western Australia, dinoflagellate and marine diatoms tend to dominate during periods of low flow and high residence times, whereas the faster-growing freshwater diatoms and chlorophytes are associated with higher flow rates. Modifications to the estuary and its catchment area over the last century have considerably reduced residence times and may favour dinoflagellate and marine diatom dominated populations. Anecdotal evidence also suggests a greater regularity of summer blooms dominated by these groups in recent years. INTRODUCTION A number of factors make estuaries particularly vulnerable to eutrophication and algal blooms. First, human populations tend to proliferate around estuary margins, often leading to increases in land disturbance and nutrient inputs (Boynton et al., 1992). For example, Australia's geographic demography is associated with high concentrations of population along coastal land margins relative to inland areas and the arid interior in particular. Estuaries are sometimes considered to be the terminal repository for much of the sediment and nutrients derived from terrestrial sources via tributary inflows. They may therefore act to filter sediments and nutrients from inputs to adjoining coastal systems, provided that processes of burial and immobilisation of nutrients are maintained (Fisher et al., 1988).
