WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE NGUNNAWAL, NGAMBRI AND THE NGARIGU PEOPLE AS THE TRADITIONAL CUSTODIANS OF THE LAND AND PAY OUR RESPECTS TO THEIR ELDERS PAST, PRESENT AND EMERGING. DAIRY ROAD IS A MOLONGLO PROJECT. PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROHAN THOMSON, ASHLEY ST GEORGE, KREI MANZO AND PETER KONGMALAVONG FEATURES THROUGHOUT. A SUMMARY 5 10 A SUMMARY Dairy Road is a neighbourhood slowly developing in Canberra’s East Lake. It is currently made up of seven main warehouses, some office buildings and vehicle yards, and is located two kilometres from the Canberra Airport, and eight from the city centre. It is flanked by highways on one side and the precious Jerrabomberra Wetlands on the other. Between August 18 and September 30, 2018 (with one additional event on August 11), theMake Good Neighbourhood public participation program facilitated community input into the future of Dairy Road. It was a program by the site’s developer Molonglo Group, who have operated within the realm of development theory and practice since 1964. Over this time, Molonglo’s projects have spanned architecture and urban design, hotels, hospitality, furniture and product design, publishing, exhibitions, public programs, supermarkets, organic foods and technology businesses. Their key focus for the last 15 years has been on the progressive restoration of NewActon, a mixed-use precinct on the edge of Canberra’s city centre. Molonglo’s process is often collaborative and cross- disciplinary, which allows for enormous fluidity, flexibility and disjunction in creative making. They are design-led, which provokes a simple question when it comes to Dairy Road: Who should this place be designed for? The obvious answer is that we are designing for diversity. Modern Canberrans are a diverse crowd. We are mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, students, lawyers, administrators, entrepreneurs, dreamers, thinkers and artists. Make Good Neighbourhood seeked to better understand the wants and needs of all Canberrans by having as many conversations with as many different people as possible (roughly 600 all up). The program’s methodology was similarly diverse and included an exhibition, survey, public events, roundtables and drop-in sessions. The key findings are outlined in more detail throughout this report. The wisdom shared by all who took part was diverse at times. However generally, it was clear that Canberrans have a shared sense of purpose across the statements that follow. 6 ON SITE AT DAIRY ROAD. 7 DAIRY ROAD MUST BE RESPECTFUL OF THE ENVIRONMENT. Responsible and sustainable environmental choices are of paramount importance. With the precious Jerrabomberra Wetlands as Dairy Road’s neighbour, ongoing consultation on decisions ranging from water management to planting choices will be essential. DAIRY ROAD MUST BE COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY. Community is foundational to a good neighbourhood. Public gathering places and ephemeral events provide important contexts for people to come together. An ongoing commitment to community consultation - actively seeking out a range of different voices - will support diversity and inclusion. DAIRY ROAD MUST BE ACCESSIBLE. Improving accessibility at Dairy Road is important. As the neighbourhood develops, this means designing for universal access and working with people with a disability to create a community they want to be part of. DAIRY ROAD MUST BE AFFORDABLE. Diverse neighbourhoods are affordable neighbourhoods; there need to be places that people can spend time in without spending money. As people start to live at Dairy Road, long- lasting affordable housing must be part of a residential model. DAIRY ROAD MUST BE SAFE. Everyone wants to feel safe in their neighbourhood. This quality at Dairy Road is a priority. DAIRY ROAD MUST INCLUDE THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY. Dairy Road is on Ngunnawal country in an area known as Biyaliegee. Molonglo has a responsibility to work with Indigenous custodians to celebrate the rich history of this site and support ongoing cultural expression. DAIRY ROAD MUST BE CONNECTED. Inclusive neighbourhoods are easy to get to. Connecting Dairy Road to the rest of Canberra - through roads, public transport links and active travel pathways - is essential. DAIRY ROAD MUST RETAIN ITS INDUSTRIAL IDENTITY. The industrial character of Dairy Road makes it a unique neighbourhood in Canberra. Retaining industrial vernacular architecture and supporting tenants to continue to make on site will allow us to celebrate this important history. THE JERRABOMBERRA WETLANDS NATURE RESERVE. 8 9 DAIRY ROAD MUST BE A PLACE OF EDUCATION. Good neighbourhoods are places to learn, grow and develop new ways of doing things. Supporting education at Dairy Road B METHODOLOGY will help attract different people and new ideas. DAIRY ROAD MUST HAVE DIVERSE TENANT TYPOLOGIES. Dairy Road can become a place to explore and experiment with tenancy typologies, finding alternative ways to support local enterprise. 11 28 Every place has a layered history. There are people who have occupied it, cared for it, and documented it long before us, and there are people who will continue to do this long after we’ve gone. As “designers” Molonglo believe it’s important to acknowledge ourselves within this continuum and understand our role is one of caretakership or stewardship of the Dairy Road site. Dairy Road is a neighbourhood that will evolve over the next 15, 30, 60-years and beyond. It should be designed for a future Canberran, whose future is of course forever changing and sometimes totally unknown. This is a future we might not all be here to see, but have a responsibility towards nonetheless. Molonglo would like to thank everyone who participated in this program and shared in that responsibility. 10 B METHODOLOGY The public participation program for Dairy Road used a mixed methods approach. This created a range of ways for people to participate in conversations about the future of this site. Forms of conversation included: 1. An exhibition; 2. An electronic survey; 3. Public events; 4. Roundtables; 5. Individual consultation; 6. Select engagements; and 7. Artist commissions. 1. MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD EXHIBITION A participatory exhibition that contextualised the Dairy Road site and gave audiences the chance to imagine its future. Simple engagement activities - such as mapping, voting, and building blocks - helped make conversations about urban design and development easier to understand and participate in. The exhibition also included passive engagement activities such as stories and a photo wall. The Make Good Neighbourhood exhibition was open to the public via a series of drop-in sessions across multiple weeks. The exhibition was also the setting for events and roundtables. 12 THE MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD EXHIBITION. 13 BUILDING BLOCKS REPRESENTED PLACE TYPOLOGIES. 14 PARTICIPANTS COULD "VOTE" ON URBAN PLANNING PRINCIPLES. 15 AN INTERACTIVE "FILL IN THE BLANK" WALL. 16 PARTICIPANTS SHARED TYPICAL DAILY JOURNEYS. 17 A PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION OF DAIRY ROAD'S SURROUNDS. 18 STORIES FROM PAST RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THE DAIRY ROAD SITE. 19 2.

Content ranged from contextualising the Dairy Road location through both Indigenous and settler history, to discussions about access, power and culture within urban design. The opportunity for attendee participation, be it through questions or group conversation, was built into all events.

  • Native Title and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management
    Native title and Indigenous cultural heritage management BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Robert Williams and Pamela F McGrath Native Title Research Unit October 2014 Preface This bibliography aims to provide readers with a comprehensive list of relevant legislation, research and commentary on Indigenous cultural heritage management in Australia since the implementation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This resource has been produced as part of a three-year AIATSIS Native Title Research Unit project about cultural heritage protection in the era of native title. It addresses a need for bibliographic resources about current state and Commonwealth Indigenous cultural heritage management regimes and their interaction with native title rights and policy. It is intended as a guide to assist native title groups, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others with locating and accessing information relevant to their own projects. The bibliography is arranged both by jurisdiction and theme and covers a number of significant issues relating to cultural heritage management for native title groups and other stakeholders: best practice, future acts and agreement making, governance, cumulative impacts, knowledge management, relevant case law and native title archaeology. The bibliography was primarily prepared through desktop research utilising government websites and publications, online databases, and various research institutions and university archives. Information was also sought via personal correspondence on an informal basis with key stake holders within the heritage sector. We especially wish to thank Carolyn Tan for allowing us to draw extensively on references to relevant case law cited in her PhD thesis. This bibliography is intended to be a living document that is added to and improved upon over time.

  • Freshwater Wetlands: Ecology, Rehabilitation and 2 Management Chapter 2.1 — Ecology of Urban Freshwater Wetlands • 53
    Freshwater Wetlands: Ecology, Rehabilitation and 2 Management Chapter 2.1 — Ecology of urban freshwater wetlands • 53 2.1 Ecology of urban freshwater wetlands Dr Liza Miller Watershed Ecology 6/42 – 46 Waters Road, Cremore NSW Sydney 2090 Australia Abstract Wetlands in urban environments are subject to an array of anthropogenic disturbances leading to wetland degradation or a state of environmental change from what a wetland might be in a natural setting. This is largely because developed landscapes affect wetland condition through impacts emanating from surrounding uplands as well as the immediate area. In particular, urban landscapes influence nutrient and pollutant inputs through water deposition leading to issues such as eutrophication. Nonetheless, urban wetlands are often valued for their amenity as well as their environmental attributes. Recreation activities, including kayaking, sailing, and bird watching, contribute to wetland amenity. The environmental values of a wetland and human activities in and around a wetland pose a challenge for wetland managers. That is, natural processes, such as eutrophication, have to be managed to ensure that recreational activities can be maintained but human health is not adversely affected. As well, opportunities for native flora and fauna need consideration in order to promote wetland values for their recreational use. This chapter introduces wetland ecology and examines the impact of urban activities on wetland condition. Three Australian case studies are examined; the Dandenong wetland (Victoria), Lake Tuggeranong (Australian Capital Territory), and the Jerrabomberra wetlands (Australian Capital Territory). All three wetlands are constructed, and with the exception of the Dandenong Wetland, multiple uses need to be managed to promote their condition and manage human activities in and around the wetlands.
