The purpose of the project was to engage with relevant stakeholders, conduct further research as required, and undertake comprehensive site visits to determine which parts of the complex sites and bridges warranted heritage protection under the heritage overlay (HO) in the Melbourne Planning Scheme, and/or potential nomination to the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). The outcome, shown in the table below, was three places to be recommended for nomination to the VHR (the former Government Aircraft Factory, the former General Motors-Holden factory, and West Gate Bridge), and four places to be recommended for the HO, except for the Commonwealth Aircraft Factory, which did not meet the threshold for heritage protection. It was decided that Bolte Bridge would not be examined further at this time. During the course of the study, five additional places were identified by the City of Melbourne for assessment. Only one of these five, being the West Gate Service Centres, was recommended for inclusion in the HO. For all complex industrial sites, the extent of the area recommended for heritage protection was reduced and defined compared to the 2017 assessment, which was undertaken from the public realm only.

The selected sites were identified for in-depth review following the Southbank and Fishermans Bend Heritage Review 2017. The sites are critical elements of Melbourne’s industrial heritage, and part of a State-designated National Employment and Innovation Cluster. During the course of the work, City of Melbourne officers requested the assessment of five additional sites (refer to figure 1). The team of Helen Lardner, architect and Director HLCD Pty Ltd and Dr Peter Mills, historian, brought to the study extensive experience in the assessment of complex industrial sites, and a practical approach to the revitalisation and reuse of industrial places in order to achieve better quality heritage outcomes. The consultants are particularly grateful to Tanya Wolkenberg, Molly Wilson and Helen Knight from the City of Melbourne for their dedication and assistance. HLCD Pty Ltd Total House L8, 180 Russell St Melbourne VIC 3000 T +614 08 300 911 www.hlcd.com.au 3 2.2 Scope The sites selected for investigation as part of the Review are shown in figure 1: Figure 1: The locations of the sites and bridges that were assessed in Fishermans Bend. (City of Melbourne) The scope of the project was varied from that set out in the initial brief. Due to budgetary constraints, an adaptive reuse report that formed part of the original brief was excluded prior to the consultant team commencing its work. The Bolte Bridge was originally part of the project but was not included in the final scope due to it spanning over a number of municipalities and authorities; local heritage protection would require inclusion in the heritage overlay of a number of planning schemes. As the bridge is only 20 years old, some aspects of its significance would be difficult to assess. Given these difficulties and, because the bridge is not under threat, it was judged unlikely to be a priority at either local or state government level for heritage protection. The scope was increased to include the additional sites listed in the table below. Of these, only the West Gate Service Centres made the threshold level for heritage protection in the planning scheme.

Strengthening community capacity is considered a method of empowering communities to respond to the compounding effects of infrastructure decline, rapid change and increasing social difficulties. Measuring Social Capital and Health The study has drawn on the range of issues being considered by government and academics with regard to community capacity building as a means to improve health outcomes. Increasingly, there is a strong role for government to support regional initiatives for growth and economic viability. Through access to educational opportunities, skills development, technological capacity, diversification of industry and promotion of rural areas as worthy investment choices, rural areas are able to readjust and be opportunist in the face of change.

Kamaruzaman Jusoff Forest Geospatial Information & Survey Lab, Lebuh Silikon Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia Serdang 43400 Selangor, Malaysia Tel: +60-3-8946 7176 E-mail: [email protected] Norsuzila Ya’acob Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA UiTM 40450 Shah Alam, Malaysia Tel: +60-3-5544 2000 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Power transmission lines routes mapping is an important technique for locating power transmission line routes and towers on mountain/hilltops to assist viewing of their impacts on the environment, operations and allocation of public utilities. A study was therefore conducted to map the power transmission lines within Bukit Lanjan PLUS highway. The main objective of this study is to assess the capability of airborne hyperspectral sensing for mapping of power transmission. By using ENVI software, the airborne hyperspectral imaging data was enhanced using convolution filtering technique using band 3 which produced a gray scale image which appeared clearer and sharper. The spectral reflectance curves were acquired for each power line which showed the same spectrum characteristics in curve or the reflectance energy. This is because of the same power lines composition material for all power lines. Ground verification was done by comparing the UPM-APSB’s AISA Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates readings with ground GPS coordinates readings of the power transmission lines footings. The ground verification result from the two matching power transmission line footings showed that the accuracy of power lines identification was acceptable.

  • H.M.S. Leander
    Leander Class Frigate H.M.S. LEANDER 1972 - 1989 1/350 Scale The Type 12 (Improved) or Leander Class Frigates that were introduced into Royal Navy service from the early 1960’s, were the most numerous of any of the classes of ships of the modern era. The design of the Leander class was based on the earlier Whitby and Rothesay class Type 12 hull, which had already proved it’s excellent sea keeping qualities, but had a simplified superstructure layout which included a built in helicopter hangar. The hull was built up flush with the main deck at the stern, which gave a better protected area for the variable depth sonar installation as well as improved deck space around the mortar well . The Leander class Frigates were split into three batches and were built between 1959 and 1973. The first batch of 10 was fitted with Y100 machinery the second batch of 6 having the upgraded Y136 machinery fitted. The third batch of 10 ships were known as the Broad Beam Leander’s and had a hull that was wider by 2 feet to accommodate the Y160 machinery fit. HMS Leander, was the name ship of the first batch of the Leander class and was laid down at Harland and Wolff of Belfast on 10th April 1959.Originally intended to be a Rothesay Class Frigate to name HMS Weymouth the plans were changed for her completion as a new Leander class ship. She was launched on 28th June 1961 and commissioned into service on 27th March 1963. Her early years between 1963 and 1970 were spent in her original fit as a general purpose frigate with the twin 4.5” Mk6 gun turret mounted on the fore deck.

    Falco Builders Letter A Visit with Frati If anybody ever suggests you go visit Frati “in Milan,” as Alfred Scott did when he heard I was going to be in Italy writing about the Piaggio Avanti turboprop, here’s my suggestion: get Alfred to pay the cabfare. If you can’t do that, buy a car. A small Fiat will do, and it’ll prob- ably be cheaper than a cab. I leapt off the train from Genoa at Milan’s central station and plunged straight into a waiting taxi. “Via Trieste Vente-Quat- tro,” I said in my best non-Italian, and about $15 later, that’s exactly where he took me—24 Via Trieste.
