2.2 History and Heritage

The history of Haig Park dates from the founding years of the National Capital. A view It was constructed in 1921-23 as a windbreak/shelter belt, planted east-west to protect the emerging Civic Centre from dust-laden north-westerly winds. The original plantings were designed by Charles Weston and were laid out in rows. Programs of thinning toward and tree replacement were undertaken in the 1940’s and 1980’s to maintain the integrity of the original planting structure. Today there are significantly fewer trees in Haig Park, with few original plantings in existence. Haig Park In 2000 the park was listed on the ACT Heritage Register for its significance as a landscape feature, in particular for its mass plantings designed to function as a windbreak. Haig Park is also subject to Special Requirements in the National 1928 Capital Plan, the strategic plan for Canberra and the Territory that ensures they are planned and developed in accordance with their national significance. The special requirements seek to conserve the park’s landscape and environmental qualities, in particular its historic and aesthetic importance.

2.2.1 Conservation Management Plan Aerial view of Civic A Conservation Management Plan that recognises and protects the Centre looking history and heritage of Haig Park has been prepared independently up Northbourne from the place plan and will ultimately be approved by the ACT Avenue, from over Heritage Council. It will provide heritage guidelines to direct the City Hill-National ongoing protective care of places or items of heritage significance. Archives A35606311 All proposed works within the park will be subject to assessment under the Conservation Management Plan. Haig Park Place Plan City Renewal Authority ■ Prepared by Tait Network 8 3.0 Purpose The goal of the place plan is to collate and interpret the community’s suggestions and opinions from consultation into a strategic document with clear principles and actions to achieve a vision for Haig Park. This place plan utilises a community-led approach to goal setting, renewal and programming. It offers a collection of activations and interventions in the park to encourage an iterative and adaptive program of change. The intent of the plan is to inspire and lay out a way forward that addresses all aspects of the park. The place plan builds on the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Community Engagement Summary reports, Adaptability Accessibility the Place Utilisation Study and the Conservation Management Plan draft documentation.

6.2 Monitor and Change

The success of these activations will be measured through various channels and assessed against a firm and well researched set of criteria. Community data and feedback will be collected in person and online. Feedback on the success of short term experiments and activations and how they might be modified, or the next round of experiments and activations to be included will be sought. Findings will be made public through regular updates to the Haig Park website. This ongoing and iterative data collection will provide a firm basis for the ongoing development and delivery of a program of works for the park. The methodology will be informed by a Place Audit Framework, regarded as the best practice methodology for mapping public places. In 2018 the ACT Government developed a Place Audit Framework that adopts the Public Space Public Life (PSPL) practices advocated by Jan Gehl and Gehl Architects, Project for Public Space (PPS) and the Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) (GDCI and NACTO 2016). PSPL audits capture distinct qualitative and quantitative metrics that, when read together, inform a holistic understanding of the public realm. Public Space is the physical and operational conditions in which public life occurs. Public Life observes people’s movement and behaviours within public space. Together, PSPL measure the current performance of public space, enhancing comprehension of the physical, social and environmental factors that make public space successful. Using the Utilisation Study as our baseline data, a series of audits would be undertaken to objectively assess how the short term experiments and activations are performing against the key themes and desired outcomes identified for the park. Full audits may not be required dependent on the nature of the experiment and activations that are being monitored. Measuring the performance of public space Haig Park Place Plan City Renewal Authority ■ Prepared by Tait Network 27

6.2.1 Measures of Success The success of the park will be measured against the City Renewal Authority success indicators. Community Non-financial success criteria that will be measured are: ■■ People and activity – maximising pedestrian footfall, ensuring equitable access and mobility and business and providing public amenity via the power of ‘free’ ■■ Diversity and vitality of place – the provision of artistic, cultural and leisure activities; events; sentiment market exchange; retail offer; and the focus on pedestrian comfort and safety ■■ Community and business sentiment – ensuring urban design outcomes exceed community satisfaction and experience; builds business confidence; and is considered a place of great Diversity attractiveness ■■ Viable opportunity – Creating places that ensure economic success; promote a night and activity economy; add tourism potential; underpin investment and renewal attractiveness; and stimulate development approvals ■■ Resilient and sustainable communities – ensuring that heritage values are protected and enhanced as guided by the Conservation Management Plan. Seeking opportunities through adaptable re-use; fostering demographic diversity; and climate-smart design Heritage People and activity Resilient and sustainable communities

6.4 6.4.1 Possible Futures Eastern

Building on the proposition that Haig Park is ‘for all of us’ and the finding that there are distinct areas within the park that are more suited to certain activities, four ‘possible futures’ have been developed to capture each character. These ‘possible futures’ provide a window into the types of outcomes that might be expected based on the feedback received through the observation and engagement phases to date. They will be highly influenced by stages 1 and 2 (‘Short term activations and experiments’, and ‘Monitor and change’) as outlined above.
