Mueller Park Address 150 Roberts Road Subiaco Lot Number 9337 Photograph (2014) City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record Name Mueller Park Address 150 Roberts Road Subiaco Lot Number 9337 Photograph (2014) Construction 1900 Date Architectural N/A Style Historical Reserve 9337, gazetted in 1904, comprises three distinct areas: Mueller Notes Park, a well-established urban park laid out in 1906-07 and the 1920s, with mature tree plantings, and recent playgrounds; Kitchener Park, a grassed area used for car parking with a small number of mature trees; Subiaco Oval, more recently named Patersons Stadium, a football oval with associated facilities and spectator stands, and Subiaco Oval Gates (Register of Heritage Places, RHP 5478). In the Documentary Evidence the name that pertained at each period is used. An early plan of Subiaco shows Subiaco and Mueller Roads (the latter named in honour of Ferdinand Jakob Heinrich von Mueller (1825-1896), inaugural director of Melbourne Botanic Gardens (1857-73), and Australia’s pre-eminent botanist) with the part of Reserve 591A that later became Mueller Park. During the 1890s gold boom, lack of May 2021 Page 1 City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record accommodation in the metropolitan area for people heading to the goldfields saw many camping out, raising sanitary concerns. In 1896, men at ‘Subiaco Commonage’ (as the area of Perth Commonage, Reserve 591A, west of Thomas Street, was commonly known) protested against a notice to quit the area and unsuccessfully asked for it to be declared a camping ground. Perth City Council cleared a large number of tents from the area on numerous occasions. In July 1897, the Subiaco Council asked Perth Council to continue Townshend and Hamilton Roads through the Commonage to Subiaco Road, and both these roads and Coghlan Road were made by the early 1900s. In November 1897, Subiaco Council urged the Commissioner for Crown Lands to grant the Municipality power over the part of the Commonage situated in Subiaco, but to no avail. In 1900, a large number of ratepayers petitioned the Council to consider the best means to preserve, utilise and beautify the Commonage between Thomas Street and Subiaco Railway Station, and it was decided the Mayor would raise the matter with the Premier when he opened the Subiaco Gardens. In 1901, a deputation from Subiaco Council told the Minister for Lands there was ‘no recreation reserve or any suitable area for recreation purposes’ in Subiaco and asked for ‘the large area of Perth Commonage ... within their district’ to be vested in the Council, and if it were ‘they would beautify it, and apply some portion of the area for recreation purposes.’ He replied there was an understanding whereby Perth Council would surrender to the Government that part of the Commonage conditional upon a Crown grant being issued to Perth Council for the remaining larger area, and until this arrangement was ratified the Government did not have control over the Commonage land. In early 1902, Subiaco Council renewed its request to the Minister, who said he considered it ‘very desirable’ Subiaco ‘have control of that portion of the Commonage’, but it was vested in Perth Municipal Council for another 10 years. Following negotiations between the Government and Perth Council, on 19 August 1904, Reserve A 9337, Perth Suburban Lots 406 and 446, was vested in the Mayor and Councillors of the Municipality of Subiaco for recreation purposes, with power to lease the whole or any part of it for a period not exceeding 21 years from the date of the lease. In 1905, undergrowth was cleared from the area commonly referred to at this date as Mueller-road reserve, which some citizens wanted improved for cricket and football, foreshadowing development of sporting facilities at the western portion. In July 1906, the Council resolved to name the park bound by Hamilton and Axon Streets, Subiaco and Mueller Roads, Mueller Park. In 1906-07, excavation and filling work was carried out, part of the park was fenced, and grass was planted towards making part of it available for cricket and football. At the eastern portion, hedging was planted along some street boundaries and diagonal footpaths were laid out between Hamilton and Coghlan Road, with a small central circus, and black wattles from Shenton Park were planted along the paths. To date, it has not been ascertained who was responsible for this original Geometric style design, the main elements of which remain extant through into the early 2000s. In 1908, football games were played at Mueller Park, nicknamed 'The Sooby Sand Patch', and in 1909, Lady Forrest officially opened Subiaco Oval and Pavilion. By the early 1920s, this grandstand had fallen into disrepair and a new pavilion seating 1,500 people was erected in 1923. The turnstiles at Subiaco Oval were not adequate for the number of spectators, and through a period of years numerous complaints were May 2021 Page 2 City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record made to the Subiaco Council about the problem. Stop-gap measures were adopted in efforts to alleviate the problem, but it continued. In 1935, Subiaco Council considered how the Jubilee of King George V might be commemorated in the town, and recollecting the continued inadequacy of the turnstiles at the Oval, resolved that 'the provision of a modern entrance to the Subiaco Oval would be an appropriate work.' Subiaco Oval Gates (RHP 5478) were erected that year, and remain a well- recognised landmark. In 1936, the Western Australian National Football League (WAFNL, later WAFL) located to Subiaco Oval, which has undergone significant improvements through time, and for decades has been the State’s premier oval In 1908, the Western Australian Croquet Association and the Western Australian Tennis Association, each wanting to establish their own facilities, negotiated with Subiaco Council to enable them to be realised at Mueller Park that year, together with greens for the Bowling Club. These facilities and the Oval were all west of Coghlan Road that effectively demarcated the eastern parkland of Mueller Park. It is likely a 1909 photo of a Seventh Day Adventist camp in Mueller Park was taken in this area, in which large mature trees provided welcome shade. In 1911, new buildings were erected and new lawns established at the Tennis Association’s facility, where State championships and Inter- State matches were played in the pre-war years. During World War I, there was increasing anti-German sentiment and in July 1916, when Subiaco Council considered renaming Mueller Park and Mueller Road, all but one councillor supported it. Following discussion, it was agreed to rename the park Kitchener, after Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum, and Roberts Road was named as ‘a compliment’ to Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Richard Harricks Roberts (1874-1943), elected as an East Ward councillor in 1914. In August, the war began, and he was appointed major and second-in-command of the 11th Battalion, A.I.F. During the Gallipoli campaign he was awarded a Mention in Dispatches (M.I.D.). In late 1915, he took command of the Battalion and was appointed Lieutenant Colonel on 1 January 1916. He was conspicuous in France, being awarded a D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order), recommended for a C.M.G. (Companion Order of St. Michael and St. George), and awarded another M.I.D. Post-war, he resumed his career in the postal service, served further as a Councillor for the East Ward of Subiaco, was a Chairman of Commissioners, and awarded an M.B.E. in 1937. In 1919, a pine tree hedge was planted along the weather-side of the tennis courts, and paths in the park were re-gravelled. In 1921, spectator stands were erected at the Western Australian Lawn Tennis Association’s courts. In 1921, Alexander Dickson Esson Bruce (b. Scotland, 1884, arr. 1910, d. 1967), a highly qualified gardener, trained in horticulture in Edinburgh, who had worked in Cheshire, before becoming Curator of Parks and Gardens at Fremantle, was appointed Municipal Gardener at Subiaco. As there were only a few flowering and ornamental plants being raised in the garden by the Council Chambers, ‘he found himself in much the same position as a chef without a kitchen’, and to meet increasing requirements of the Municipality ‘something on a much larger scale and more definite purpose was required.’ He selected a neglected area (about half an acre) in ‘a somewhat sequestered spot near the tennis courts at Kitchener Park’, for the nursery, and the Council agreed. He used timber pickets salvaged from Shenton Park for fencing, and old timber from the electric lighting offices and discarded iron and glass for an ‘up-to-date May 2021 Page 3 City of Subiaco - Heritage Place Record conservatory’ for propagation beds. By August 1923, the nursery was able to supply all the flowers, shrubs, plants and trees for parks, gardens, streets, recreation and play grounds in the district, and an experimental planting of cotton was giving excellent results. Bruce had good results from an experimental plot of tobacco and the Department of Agriculture, which was working towards establishing tobacco growing, asked him to raise 5,000 plants from selected seed for distribution to various parts of the State. Bruce’s significant role in development of parks and gardens at Subiaco is well known, and his subsequent work in Canberra as Assistant Superintendent (1925), Acting Superintendent (1926) and Superintendent of Parks and Gardens (1928- 38) has left an enduring legacy. In 1923, the Council agreed to a request from Subiaco Tennis Club to plant trees in the vicinity, and Bruce was instructed to plant a row of pines along the length of Coghlan Road and a double row along Roberts Road. No plans or details of plantings at Kitchener Park under Bruce’s direction have been located to date.

Emad Shalaby 2* 1Department of Agricultural Botany, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt, 12613. 2Department of Agricultural Biochemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt, 12613. Accepted 30 April, 2011 This experiment was conducted during the four seasons: Spring, summer, autumn and winter of two successive annual cycles; 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 (starting from May 2008). Four Eucalyptus species were under investigation; Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus cinerea F. Muell. ex Bentham, Eucalyptus citriodora Hook. and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Seasonal variations in the amount of fixed and volatile oils in Eucalyptus spp. matured leaves were investigated. It was determined that the amount of total lipids and essential oils significantly varied by the seasons (P < 0.01). The amount of total lipids in Eucalyptus spp. reached its peak mostly in spring. But the amounts of essential oils in different species were determined to be higher in summer, autumn and spring seasons, than in winter. Furthermore, the amount of total lipids and essential oils was higher in E. camaldulensis and E. cinerea than in other species. The anatomical investigation in the four studied Eucalyptus species, in relation to lipids percentage indicated that, the best lipids percentage amounts in this study were exhibited in E. cinerea and E. camaldulensis, for spring and winter; and were in agreement with these species highest lamina thickness.

  • Sydney Olympic Park
    THESIS PROJECT SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK OLYMPIC LEGACY OR BURDEN BY BEN JAMES 2007 AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED AS A PARTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE BACHELOR OF PLANNING DEGREE, UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES 2007 ABSTRACT ‘The best Olympic Games ever’ are the words that Olympic organising committees around the world want to hear after they have hosted the Olympic Games. This title can only be held by one host city, and the current holder is Sydney. However, like many host cities in the past, infrastructure built for the Games has not had much of a post-games life. Due to this lack of post-games use, the main Olympic site at Homebush is perceived as a burden on Sydney rather than the unambiguous positive legacy envisaged. Sydney Olympic Park has even been described as a ‘white elephant’. This thesis will look at how the site as a whole has functioned since the Games, with particular reference to underutilisation of the two main stadiums. The potential of the 2002 master plan to inject new uses and vitality into the site is considered. The thesis provides a series of best practice guidelines that could be used by future hosts of similar mega-events to ensure that Games-related infrastructure does not become a burden on the host city. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would firstly like to thank Peter Williams, who as my thesis advisor provided me with the guidance and assistance that was required for me to complete my thesis. I secondly would like to thank Ellie for her assistance in the reading and formatting of my thesis, as well as her continued support throughout the thesis project.
