Attachment A
Attachment A Report Prepared by External Planning Consultant 3 Recommendation It is resolved that consent be granted to Development Application D/2017/1652, subject to the following: (A) the variation sought to Clause 6.19 Overshadowing of certain public places in accordance with Clause 4.6 'Exceptions to development standards' of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 be supported in this instance; and (B) the requirement under Clause 6.21 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring a competitive design process be waived in this instance; and (C) the requirement under Clause 7.20 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring the preparation of a development control plan be waived in this instance; Reasons for Recommendation The reasons for the recommendation are as follows: (A) The proposal, subject to recommended conditions, is consistent with the objectives of the planning controls for the site and is compatible with the character of the area into which it will be inserted. It will provide a new unique element in the public domain which has been specifically designed to highlight Sydney’s main boulevard and the important civic precinct of Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building. (B) The proposed artwork is permissible on the subject land and complies with all relevant planning controls with the exception of overshadowing of Sydney Town Hall steps. While the proposal will result in some additional shadowing of the steps this impact will be minor and is outweighed by the positive impacts of the proposal. (C) The proposal is of a nature compatible with the overall function of the locality as a civic precinct in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

The Architecture of Scientific Sydney
Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 118 Parts 3 and 4 [Issued March, 1986] pp.181-193 Return to CONTENTS The Architecture of Scientific Sydney Joan Kerr [Paper given at the “Scientific Sydney” Seminar on 18 May, 1985, at History House, Macquarie St., Sydney.] A special building for pure science in Sydney certainly preceded any building for the arts – or even for religious worship – if we allow that Lieutenant William Dawes‟ observatory erected in 1788, a special building and that its purpose was pure science.[1] As might be expected, being erected in the first year of European settlement it was not a particularly impressive edifice. It was made of wood and canvas and consisted of an octagonal quadrant room with a white conical canvas revolving roof nailed to poles containing a shutter for Dawes‟ telescope. The adjacent wooden building, which served as accommodation for Dawes when he stayed there overnight to make evening observations, was used to store the rest of the instruments. It also had a shutter in the roof. A tent-observatory was a common portable building for eighteenth century scientific travellers; indeed, the English portable observatory Dawes was known to have used at Rio on the First Fleet voyage that brought him to Sydney was probably cannibalised for this primitive pioneer structure. The location of Dawes‟ observatory on the firm rock bed at the northern end of Sydney Cove was more impressive. It is now called Dawes Point after our pioneer scientist, but Dawes himself more properly called it „Point Maskelyne‟, after the Astronomer Royal.

Anzac Memorial Considered for State Heritage Listing
3 March, 2010 ANZAC MEMORIAL CONSIDERED FOR STATE HERITAGE LISTING The ANZAC Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park is to be considered for listing on the State Heritage Register. Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said since its completion in 1934, the iconic building had been an important place of commemoration, especially on ANZAC Day. “As well as being a monument to the sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women, the ANZAC Memorial building has long been considered one of Australia’s greatest works of public art,” the Minister said. “The result of a creative collaboration between architect Bruce Dellit and sculptor Rayner Hoff, the ANZAC Memorial is arguably the finest expression of Art Deco monumentality in Australia. “It’s also closely linked to the landing of Australian troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, with fundraising for the memorial established on the first anniversary of the landing.” The building is associated with returned servicemen and women and their various organisations, including the RSL, which lobbied for the erection of the monument and occupied offices within it. Mr Kelly said the memorial represents NSW’s contribution to the group of national war memorials developed by each State capital during the inter-war period. “As a result, its heritage importance has a number of different dimensions including historical, aesthetic and social significance, and should it be considered for the State’s highest form of heritage protection,” the Minister said. The proposed listing, which follows the Government’s recent listing of three other iconic Sydney buildings – the Sydney Town Hall, the Queen Victoria Building and Luna Park – will be exhibited for public comment until Monday, March 22.

The Decline and Revival of Music Education in New South Wales Schools from 1920 to 1956
australiaa n societ s y fo r mumsic education e The decline and revival of music i ncorporated education in New South Wales schools, 1920-1956 Marilyn Chaseling School of Education, Southern Cross University, NSW. Email: [email protected] William E. Boyd School of Science, Environment & Engineering, Southern Cross University, NSW. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper overviews the decline and revival of music education in New South Wales schools from 1920 to 1956. Commencing with a focus on vocal music during the period up to 1932, a time of decline in music teaching, the paper examines initiatives introduced in 1933 to address shortcomings in music education, and the subsequent changes in curriculum and teaching during the 1930s. Evidence of a variable revival lies in the school choral music movement of 1939 to 1956, and in how music education diversified beyond its vocal heritage from the late 1930s and early 1940s, with new emphasis on music appreciation, percussion, flutes, and recorders. By the mid 1950s, involvement in, and quality of, school instrumental music was continuously improving. Key words: school choral music, school choirs, Theodore Tearne, Herbert Treharne, Barbara Mettan, Victor McMahon, flute bands, percussion bands, inspectors of schools Australian Journal of Music Education 2014:2,46-61 Introduction children could be assembled, at short notice, to form choirs to perform at celebratory or This paper explores music in New South Wales commemorative events:4 a choir of over 5,000 (NSW) state primary schooling from 1920 to children performed in 1897 for the Jubilee 1956, through the lens of music teaching and Celebrations of Queen Victoria, and the hand- 1 practice, building on the research of Dugdale picked choir of three thousand sang at the Public 2 and of Stevens into music in NSW state primary School’s Patriotic Display in 1900;5 a colossal choir schools prior to 1920.
