It builds on the framework of significance assessment and conservation policy established by the Conservation Plan. Aims The Aims of the Landscape Plan are to: • describe the cultural and natural values of the landscape of the Port Arthur Historic Site; • assess the contribution of the landscape to the natural and cultural significance of the Port Arthur Historic Site; • develop policies that reflect the interaction between landscape, history and community meanings; • define important visual relationships within and outside the Port Arthur Historic Site and develop policies to enable them to be appropriately managed; • provide direction for the provision of visitor requirements, including accessibility and site furniture, and opportunities for improved interpretation. Process The Process of developing the Landscape Plan included: • discussions with the staff of the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority to gain a detailed understanding of the landscape management issues and opportunities; • writing about the evolution of the landscape of Port Arthur and preparing a series of maps; • describing and mapping the landscape elements – both significant and not significant (ie. site furniture and surface treatments), and also a range of hazards and intrusive elements; • assessing the ways in which the landscape contributes to the significance of Port Arthur; • analysis and mapping of the visual catchment for the Historic Site. • consultation with the local community – particularly through a community workshop held during the course of the project; • development of landscape policy statements; • identifying actions arising

    Groundwater, Mineral Resources and Land Stability in the Tasman Peninsula. 1. Groundwater from Fractured Rocks

    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

    VISITOR LEARNING GUIDE 1 Produced by The Wilderness Society The Styx Valley of the Giants oers the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most iconic and spectacular forest areas. For decades the Wilderness Society has worked with the broader community to achieve protection for the Styx and we want to share it, and some of its stories, with you. This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the Styx, Tasmania’s forests or World Heritage. Rather, it is designed to share a cross-section of knowledge through simple stories that follow a common theme on each of the identified walks. With its help, we hope you will learn from this spectacular place, and leave knowing more about our forests, their natural and cultural legacy and some other interesting titbits. The Wilderness Society acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional owners and custodians of all Country in Tasmania and pays respect to Elders past and present. We support eorts to progress reconciliation, land justice and equality. We recognise and welcome actions that seek to better identify, present, protect and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage, irrespective of where it is located.

  • The Influence of Natural Geological Formations and Patterns on Contemporary Landscape Design

    The Influence of Natural Geological Formations and Patterns on Contemporary Landscape Design

    Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 17, Number 17 DOI: 10.22616/j.landarchart.2020.17.05 Inspirative Geology - the Influence of Natural Geological Formations and Patterns on Contemporary Landscape Design Nawarah Al Basha, Anna Eplényi PhD, Gábor Sándor Szent István University, Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urban Design, Hungary Abstract. Throughout the history of landscape design, we have witnessed many examples where natural features were used as symbolic elements of manmade landscapes and gardens. This influence of landscape geology had its impact on contemporary landscape architecture, resulting in diverse and innovative applications, which are the main topic of our discussion. The article is intended to demonstrate the trend of drawing inspiration from natural landscape features in contemporary landscape architecture in a new and complex way, focusing particularly on the influence of geology, geomorphology and tectonics. A study was conducted on twelve available, published contemporary landscape projects from the last two decades analysing the imitation of nature in the designs, with photo documentation and description. The aim is to identify how ‘native geology’ can influence today’s landscape architecture, which formations are inspirative, where and how they are integrated to the contemporary artistic design. Furthermore, in order to develop a complex understanding on how these references applied to the sites enhance the experience of the space. The selected projects are compared according to pairs of contrasting qualities that are related to measurable characteristics of a space. This will finally lead to identifying some common trends of today’s landscape architecture in applying this geology-inspired design approach.
