Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the Authority) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Midland Redevelopment Area (which includes the Helena, Clayton and Victoria Precincts – the study area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Midland Redevelopment Scheme 2 (the Scheme) empowers the Authority to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Midland HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As a State government agency, the Authority acknowledges its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy. The Midland HI comprises a list of heritage places that are of cultural heritage significance to both local and State communities. The places listed in the HI are supported by a ‘thematic history’, which identifies the history, stories and events that have shaped Midland and are represented in the built environment. The thematic history is important as it informs the assessment of significance of the places. The Midland Redevelopment Area is architecturally and historically rich in significant industrial and commercial places as well as cultural institutions and residential development that reflect the local historical timeline. A key objective of the HI is to recognise and protect such cultural heritage, from iconic sites such as the State Heritage Listed former Midland Railway Workshops and the historical civic and retail “junction” of the town centre to other less recognised but important historical elements of Midland.

These guidelines have been adapted to ensure that this study is consistent with the Authority’s planning framework. The essential principles and philosophy of the Australian ICOMOS Burra Charter (2013) are also drawn upon in the determination of heritage values and management levels. The preparation process involved an examination of existing and previous inventories prepared by the City of Swan (1997, 2010), as well as other significant reports such as the ‘Midland Central Redevelopment Area Heritage Strategy’ (prepared for Midland Redevelopment Authority 2001, Heritage and Conservation Professionals), ‘Midland Junction Conservation Plan; a legacy of forgotten assets’ (prepared for Shire of Swan, 1998, Hocking Planning and Architecture et al.) and relevant Conservation Plans for individual places within the study area. A desktop search of HCWA’s InHerit database was also undertaken. In accordance with the standard methodology for the preparation of HIs, physical surveys of places within the study area were conducted from the street only and did not include examinations of interior spaces. However, this study was enriched by the extensive physical evidence contained in the previous work, which included written accounts of the internal and external physical surveys that had been undertaken by qualified heritage professionals and detailed documentary evidence prepared by specialist historians. Page 6 // MRA Midland Heritage Inventory 2. Management of Places in the Heritage Inventory MANAGEMENT CATEGORIES The following terms are used to classify and describe each place listed in the heritage inventory to enable appropriate management of the place, with details included in the Place Record for each listed place: Statement of Significance Each place includes a Statement of Significance which is a specific and unique description of the key heritage qualities of each place. A site or place is deemed to have heritage significance if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Aesthetic Value: It is significant in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics. For example, it exhibits characteristics of scale, composition, materials, texture and colour that are considered to have value for the local area. • Historic Value: It is significanct in the evolution or pattern of the history of the local district. For example. it is closely associated with the events, developments or cultural phases that have played an important part in the area’s history, has a special association with a group or organisation important in shaping the area or is an example of technical or creative achievement from a particular period. • Scientific (Research) Value: It has demonstrable potential to yielf information that will contribute to an understanding of the natural or cultural history of the local district, or it is significant in demonstrating a high degree of technical innovation or achievement. For example, it is a standing structure or archaelogical deposit which is an important benchmark or reference site, or it shows qualities of innvoation, design skill or originality for its time or context. • Social Value: It is significant through association with a community or cultural group in the local district for social, cultural, educational or spiritual reasons. For example, the place is one that the community, or a significant part of the community, has held in high regard for an extended period. Desirable Outcome The Desirable Outcome relates to how a heritage place should be managed with regard to any future development of the place. Page 7 // MRA Midland Heritage Inventory Management Level The Management Level for a place is related to its heritage value and will have significant influence on how the development of a place is to be managed (i.e. its ‘desired outcome’). The Management Level is as important as the list of places itself to ensure appropriate future management of all places listed on the HI. The Management Levels are outlined in the following table: Management Level Description Desired Outcome These places are included in the State Register of Heritage Places and will be afforded the highest Level 1 Place of State Significance level of protection both through the provisions of the Heritage Act and the Redevelopment Scheme and Heritage Places Development Policy. These places are of local significance in their own right and will be afforded a high level of protection through Level 2 Place of Local Significance the provisions of the Redevelopment Scheme and Heritage Places Development Policy. Conservation of these places is highly desirable through adaptive reuse, however proposed partial or full demolition is to be assessed on a case by case basis at the Development Application stage in accordance with the Redevelopment Scheme and Level 3 Place of Lesser Significance Heritage Places Development Policy, including a full heritage assessment and impact statement. Photographic records and interpretation should be included in any redevelopment of the site. These places are historic sites with few or no built features and should be retained as a record in the Level 4 Historic Site Inventory for archival purposes. Their significance should be recognised through interpretation in any redevelopment of the site. Table 1 - Management Levels for Heritage PlacesPlanning Implications PLANNING IMPLICATIONS The HI has a key role to play in the protection and conservation of local and State heritage. This document is adopted by the Authority under the provisions of the Scheme and forms part of the statutory planning framework for the Midland Redevelopment Area. The HI should be read in conjunction with the Scheme, the Authority’s Development Policy for Heritage Places, and the Design Guidelines, and will be used in assessment of development applications and planning decision making regarding heritage places in the Midland Redevelopment Area. Ultimately, the relevant local government authority may include the information provided in this inventory as a supplementary list to their existing heritage inventory or statutory scheme list. They may also develop further policies, which encourage the

    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks.

  • MONUMENT HILL 1928-2018 the 90Th Anniversary of the Fremantle War Memorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
    MONUMENT HILL 1928-2018 The 90th anniversary of the Fremantle War Memorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ‘Monument Hill 1928-2018’ honours the ‘citizens’ of Fremantle who spent the better part of a decade after the end of WW1 lobbying authorities to build a fitting memorial of remembrance where families and friends could leave flowers and prayers for their war dead. After years of delays, controversies and lack of interest, thousands of people gathered on November 11, 1928, to commemorate the Remembrance Day unveiling of the Sailors and Soldiers Memorial. A collection of more than 3000 pounds was raised to fund the upkeep of the “noble column”. In a fitting repeat of history, ‘Monument Hill 1928-2018’ was made available to the public on Remembrance Day 2018, with all gold donations for the commemorative booklet raised for Legacy WA, which also celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2018. Proudly supported by the City of Fremantle, which subsidised the printing and supplied the stunning cover image of the port city’s much-loved memorial, this historical treasure is available in print and online. Limited copies are available at Fremantle Library. Produced on behalf of Friends of Monument Hill, StreetWise Media thanks all sponsors and supporters who pulled together to produce this special 90th anniversary tribute to the men and women who sacrificed everything to defend Australia and its Allies since WW1. They include - WA Premier Mark McGowan, Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt, Federal MP Josh Wilson, State MP Simone McGurk, the Australian War Memorial, the Samson family, former Fremantle mayors Peter Tagliaferri and Richard Utting, Fremantle History Society, Fremantle Inner City Residents Association, the National Hotel, SCOOP Property and Finance, Fremantle resident Ra Stewart and Joint Venture Consulting Group director Ljiljanna Ravlich.

    Welcome to the Icons of Influence trail When John Septimus Roe first laid out the city of Perth in 1829, he envisioned a powerful city at the centre of a strong, progressive economy. St Georges Terrace was the focus of this design, a broad avenue running parallel to the shores of the majestic Swan River. Pre-eminent early settlers built their residences along the Terrace and many significant civic buildings were also erected here. St Georges Terrace continues its central role as the city’s Icons of powerhouse today. Follow this trail to investigate the history of the city through its iconic places of influence.

    Perth Conference Program 18-20 July 2017 #3wscc 2 | 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference Perth — 18–20 July 2017 — #3wscc Welcome from the Chairman As we pass the midway point, the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC) is at an exciting cusp in its mission to change how the world’s towns and cities manage water to benefit their sustainability, economic growth, quality of life, and the ecosystems that support urban places. We are celebrating the extensive bank of research achievements of the last 5 years. But we are also looking firmly ahead to a dedicated program of research and adoption activities that ensure that the invaluable knowledge produced is translated, applied, and made available for on-ground impact and implementation in transforming our streets, precincts, and cities. There are bold new directions ahead too: while our priority will remain to deliver on our commitments to our partners, we are acutely aware of the potential for a greater reach throughout Australia and overseas, particularly the growing opportunities to use the knowledge and proof-of-concepts from our research to drive positive change in developing countries. It’s this eye on the future, and on tangible impact, that guide our future plans and align with both national and international momentum towards Water Sensitive Cities. On behalf of the Board, I welcome you warmly to the 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference. The next three days mark a unique opportunity for the CRCWSC to share work that will shape how we use new water sensitive knowledge. As delegates, you will receive some of the first insights into the emerging suite of new products, tools, and processes that will increasingly enable Water Sensitive City transitions, both in Australia and overseas.

    GriffithREVIEW47.indb 1 21/01/2015 3:43 pm Praise for Griffith Review ‘Essential reading for each and every one of us.’ Readings ‘A varied, impressive and international cast of authors.’ The Australian ‘Griffith Review is a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in current affairs, politics, literature and journalism. The timely, engaging writing lavishly justifies the Brisbane-based publication’s reputation as Australia’s best example of its genre.’ The West Australian ‘There is a consistently high standard of writing: all of it well crafted or well argued or well informed, as befits the various genres.’ Sydney Review of Books ‘This quarterly magazine is a reminder of the breadth and talent of Australian writers. Verdict: literary treat.’ Herald Sun ‘Griffith Review editor Julianne Schultz is the ultra-marathoner of Australian cultural life.’ Canberra Times ‘At a time when long form journalism is under threat and the voices in our public debate are often off-puttingly condescending, hectoring and discordant, Griffith Review is the elegant alternative.’ Booktopia Buzz ‘Griffith Review is a consistently good journal. There is some terrific writing on display as well as variety and depth to the issues being grappled with.’ The Age ‘Australia’s most important literary essay magazine.’ Courier-Mail ‘At once comfortable and thought-provoking, edgy and familiar, [it] will draw the reader through its pages.’ Australian Book Review ‘Griffith Review is a wonderful journal. It’s pretty much setting the agenda in Australia and fighting way above its weight… You’re mad if you don’t subscribe.’ Phillip Adams ‘Once again, Griffith Review has produced a stunning volume of excellent work.
