Canberra is vital to all Australians as the heart of our democracy and pinnacle of our justice system. Born of the utopian ideals of the founders of Australian Federation and grounded in the Griffins’ visionary town plan, Canberra has grown to be one of the world’s great twentieth century cities. Australia’s national heritage comprises exceptional natural and cultural places that contribute to Australia’s national identity, from the Great Barrier Reef and the West Kimberley to Bondi Beach and Sydney Opera House. The National Heritage List identifies the critical moments in our development as a nation, it includes: places that speak to us of exploration and settlement like the Batavia Wreck Site, Port Arthur and Bonegilla Migrant Camp, mark iconic events such as the Eureka Stockade site and the Wave Hill Walk Off Route, showcase creative achievements like the Adelaide Parklands and City Layout, or reflect joys and sorrows in the lives of Australians. It also encompasses those places that reveal the richness of Australia’s extraordinarily diverse natural heritage, from remote ancient landscapes like Uluru/Kata Tjuta, resonant with meaning over thousands of generations of Indigenous habitation, to Riversleigh’s fossil site or the natural beauty of the Australian Alps and the Tasmanian Wilderness. Several places within Canberra are already included on the National Heritage List: Old Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial and Memorial Parade, the High Court-National Gallery Precinct and the Australian Academy of Science Building. Many other places of local or territory significance are included on the Commonwealth Heritage List or the ACT Heritage Register. The Council is taking a broad and overarching approach in assessing the significance of Canberra as the planned national capital. The proposed listing will capture those outstanding elements of Canberra that contribute to the key themes of: • Canberra’s historical and symbolic significance as a new capital city established by the Australian Constitution • the city’s role in facilitating public engagement in the political process and as the site of landmark decisions and national remembrance • Canberra as a showcase of cutting-edge twentieth century town planning ideas. The Australian Heritage Council invites all Australians to engage with the national heritage assessment of your national capital.

The city of Canberra, its inception and planning, embodies the development and evolution of Australia’s unique cultural and democratic landscape. As one of the world’s great twentieth century Mahony Griffin has also contributed to planned cities, the city of Canberra has the creation of a city of great beauty.

The decision about what current at the time. and where the new capital should be was 2 | Celebrating Canberra: A nation’s cultural and democratic landscape City Beautiful The City Beautiful was a reform philosophy current in North American architecture and urban planning circles during the 1890s and 1900s. The intent of the philosophy was to import European-style beautification and monumental grandeur into cities. The movement involved the promotion of beauty not only for its own sake but as an uplifting moral and civic force for the community. Advocates of the philosophy believed that such beautification could thus promote a harmonious social order that would increase the quality of life. Lake Burley Griffin viewed along the water axis Garden City The Garden City movement was a style of urban planning that was initiated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom. Garden cities were intended to be planned, self-contained communities surrounded by “greenbelts” or parks containing proportionate areas of residences, industry and agriculture. The concept of garden cities is to produce relatively economically independent cities with short commute times and the preservation of the countryside. Garden suburb landscape with inner hill backdrop 3 The Griffins’ design also responded sensitively to the topography of the site, realising the potential to place national monuments in a natural landscape to create symbols of democracy and evoke the sense of a connection between a young city and the great civilisations of the past. Utilising a geometry of circles, straight lines between axial points and a central triangle, the Griffins laid out grand boulevards demarcating significant national spaces, a symmetrical central lake and grand vistas. Griffin Plan 1911 The Griffins’ outstanding design influenced the city plans for New Delhi and Brasilia. The design of the 1988 Parliament House Australian Architect Paul Reid considered pays homage to the Griffins’ design by the Griffins’ design as ‘one of the finest city locating the building within rather than on top plans ever made’1, while John Reps, eminent of Capital Hill and reflecting the profile of the American urban historian, stated that Griffins’ proposed people’s Capitol building in the Parliament’s stepped retaining walls and Griffin’s vision ... remains an iconic flagpole. extraordinary achievement deserving recognition and protection as one of the The expansion of Canberra reflects changes treasures, not only of Australia, but of the and developments in Australia’s political and entire urban world.2 cultural landscape.

  • 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.

The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s 10 of the Heritage Act 2004. HISTORY The Ngunnawal people are traditionally affiliated with the lands within the Canberra region. In this citation, ‘Aboriginal community’ refers to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal groups within the ACT who draw significance from the place. Whilst the term ‘Aboriginal community’ acknowledges these groups in the ACT, it is recognised that their traditional territories extend outside contemporary borders. These places attest to a rich history of Aboriginal connection to the area. Traditional Aboriginal society in Canberra during the nineteenth century suffered from dramatic depopulation and alienation from traditional land based resources, although some important social institutions like intertribal gatherings and corroborees were retained to a degree at least until the 1860s.

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.
