However recent research argues that this shift is still fragmented by enduring philosophies of heritage as artefactual. Maintenance of heritage buildings, in particular, illustrates the debates around material (‘tangible’) or vernacular processes (‘intangible’) of management. This thesis explores the heritage management of three heritage listed coastal cabin (shack) communities within Sydney’s Royal National Park. Here cabin owners are faced with challenges of the extreme maritime environment and no road access, meaning that all maintenance materials are carried on foot. Yet official management of shacks is still largely based on the appearance of shack materials via an audit. The project aimed to understand how vernacular shack maintenance practices could be a form of heritage. Employing a mixed method approach, the study included semi-structure and walking interview with 12 shack owners. The results offer insights into heritage significance arising from practices and embodied actions. Through a non-representational framework attention is giving to the multiple meanings of shack maintenance practices. The findings highlight the significance of ernacularv maintenance practices, and suggest, with future research, a new management approach incorporating both the tangible and intangible is possible.

III In memory of my grandparents Fred and Molly Holloway, who thought they built a shack but instead made a home. And for my parents, whose efforts have kept the memories alive. Acknowledgement of Country I would like to acknowledge the Dharawal people as the Traditional owners of the land on which this research was conducted. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia, they have never ceded sovereignty. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Nick Gill. Thank you for your patient guidance, constant encouragement and thoughtful advice. Your input has been immensely helpful in articulating what I could not. It has been a privilege working with you, thank you for accommodating my countless emails. Thank you to each of the 12 participants who contributed to this study, without your stories this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to express a special thank you to the Royal National Park Coastal Cabins Protection League; your support of this project has been invaluable. I am so grateful for the Little Garie, Era and Burning Palms communities who have provided such unique insights into shack life. I must also thank other staff members from the School of Geography and Sustainable Communities who were always willing to chat and answer my questions over the year: Jenny Atchison, Elyse Stanes, Chantel Carr, Laura Hammersley and Michael Adams. My interest in human geography is credited to the incredible passion and knowledge of the School staff. Thank you for always encouraging students. A big thank you to my fellow honour’s student Dom Pezzutto; your text messages of encouragement always came at the right times. Last but not least, I would like to thank my incredible family, friends and partner Chris whose endless support encouraged me throughout the year. Chris, thank you for sticking with me through three degrees. Special thanks go to Jason, Naomi, Anna and Georgia for rallying me to the library – the Pomodoro is finally off.

It should be noted that shack owners have only ever held licenses for their cabins. - This thesis adopts the term ‘shack owners’ to refer to the people who maintain and use the shacks within the Royal National Park communities of Little Garie, Era, and Burning Palms. - Similarly, participants may refer to ‘owning’ their shack, it should be noted that within the current National Parks and Wildlife Service license shack owners are referred to as “the claimed owners of shacks” (NSW NPWS 2000; OEH 2019; RNP CCPL 2019). Ownership of shacks has not yet been determined by any court proceedings. - ‘Sic’ has been used where appropriate to clarify incorrect terms.

Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK (EXTENSION) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Dr METHERELL (Davidson) [9.0]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The eyes of history are upon this House. It is time for a new vision that embraces both environmental protection and opportunities for sustainable development for the future. This is a particularly historic opportunity for this House to complete a task that the first Australian settlers commenced more than 200 years ago when they set aside Sydney's foreshores. Recently, areas such as Kuring-Gai Chase were set aside. We have an opportunity to recognise that dream in the minds of our ancestors and to complete it by linking the Hawkesbury River in the north with Sydney Harbour in the south to form a network of national parks for future generations. I refer to our history because, no matter what our position is in the spectrum of views on environmental protection, all of us acknowledge the magnificent legacy of areas such as the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park and the Royal National Park. They and so many of the other national parks around this State and nation were left to this generation and for future generations by people who had the vision to set aside lands of natural grandeur and lands that protected our endangered flora and fauna.

  • Airstrips and Helipads in NSW National Parks
    Airstrips and helipads in NSW national parks Aviation infrastructure such as airstrips and helipads, are not common in our national parks but many parks do have them. The airstrips and helipads within our national parks are managed and maintained by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, and are used for a wide range of management purposes such as trackwork, bushfire management, and scientific surveys, as well as for emergency purposes such as search and rescue, bushfire fighting and medical emergencies. The airstrips and helipads within national parks are NOT open to general aviation. Legislated Plans of Management (PoM) govern how each national park is managed (you can find out more about Plans of Management and view individual park PoMs here https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/parks-reserves-and-protected-areas/park- management/plans-of-management). Where parks have airstrips and helipads they are usually included in the relevant plans of management, including for what purposes they can be used for. Some examples include the following: Mutawintji National Park. The Plan of Management 2013 (p26 and 95) outlines that the airstrip on the park “was previously used by visitors flying to Mutawintji to see the engraving and ochre art sites, as well as being used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) during emergencies…and was used by the NPWS for access and park management operations”. However, the POM goes on to state the airstrip is not currently in use “as it is too short to safely accommodate new RFDS aircraft. The strip is also eroded in places and the nearby ridges make aircraft approaches difficult in many circumstances”.
