Full Name of Degree: BACHELOR OF ARTS IN HISTORY WITH HONOURS Thesis Title: GRAYLANDS: THE EVOLUTION OF A SUBURB Author: PAM MIKUS Year: 2013 ii ABSTRACT ‘Where is this Graylands?’ A journalist posed this question in 1950 and answered by pointing out that the bus company misspelled the name as Greylands; the postal address was Claremont; the railway station was Karrakatta; and the area fell under the Nedlands Road Board. This thesis endeavours to answer the question by describing the unrecognised importance of this small, seemingly inconsequential locality and explaining themes relevant to its history. The original colonial owners of land in this area were pioneers in the mid-nineteenth century. The first, Captain Harding, bequeathed it to his wife and it was eventually owned by her sister, Maria Gray, who gave her name to the suburb. However, although Graylands was recognised locally as a name from 1896 when land sales began, only a road was gazetted in 1902 until the postal district was recognised in 1959.

  • Submission Is Attached at the End of This Submission
    Dr Neville F Hills, FRANZCP, MRCPsych.,LLM, PhD. 23 January, 2020 Dear Commissioners, Re: Productivity Commission 2019, Mental Health, Draft Report, Canberra I am a retired psychiatrist with a special interest in aged care. Unfortunately I have only sighted this discussion paper today so my remarks are brief. May I say that as a Western Australian, I along with many others in this State, have a remote view of our Commonwealth Government, although I have worked in New South Wales and England in my career. As a largely State government employed psychiatrist, I have observed the extent to which our WA government has used the involvement of Commonwealth agencies and funding, to withdraw local services and resources built up over past decades. Increasing Commonwealth interventions in State managed health care is, in my experience, counter-productive. You must appreciate that Perth is as far from the Sydney-Canberra axis as Moscow is from London. Would people in London accept directions and distribution of their taxes from Moscow? This paper so far is a rehash of multiple State and Commonwealth motherhood statements and wish lists. Clinical staff have been well aware for decades what is needed to provide effective services, but instead we have seen restructuring repeatedly destroy good services, while chasing ephemeral and politically driven false concepts. In WA good State services have been dismantled and abandoned in the pursuit of false economies and rationalisations. The pursuit of privatisation at the expense of properly funded and managed State services has proved costly and ineffective. It is time to admit it has not worked in providing mental health care for seriously unwell people.

ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The criteria adopted by the Heritage Council in November 1996 have been used to determine the cultural heritage significance of the place. PRINCIPAL AUSTRALIAN HISTORIC THEME(S) • 3.26.1 Providing medical & dental services • 3.26.2 Providing hospital services HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA THEME(S) • 408 Institutions • 404 Community services & utilities 11. 1 AESTHETIC VALUE* Fortescue House on the Graylands Hospital site is a fine example of a government designed institutional building dating from the early twentieth century and exhibits design characteristics typical of its time and function. It is a competent though restrained example of the Federation Free style of architecture. Its subsequent development and adaptation has been carried out in a manner which complements the original design. (Criterion 1.1) Gascoyne House on the Graylands Hospital site is a well composed example of the use of the Inter-War Functionalist style of architecture for an institutional building. The scale of the building, its unusual plan and the quality of adjacent landscaped spaces provide a pleasing composition that give the building a human scale by comparison with the earlier more institutional buildings both on the Graylands Hospital site and the wider former Claremont Hospital site of which it was a part. (Criterion 1.1) Gascoyne House is an innovative example of a hospital building designed in 1939 which
