(1997) M.A. Archaeology at University of Melbourne. Professional archaeological and heritage consultant since 1999. Recognised as a Cultural Heritage Advisor for the purposes of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 3 Area of expertise My area of expertise is cultural heritage management. I have sufficient expertise to make this report as I have more than 10 years’ experience in undertaking cultural heritage assessments within the State of Victoria and I am a qualified Cultural Heritage Advisor for the purposes of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. 4. Other contributors to this statement The desktop component of this report has relied upon material prepared by Mr Paul Pepdjonovic during the preparation of the draft Cultural Heritage Management Plan 14052. Mr Pepdjonovic, of Andrew Long + Associates, is a listed Cultural Heritage Advisor for the purposes of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. 5. Instructions relied upon for the preparation of this report. Under instruction from Ashurst Australia this report has been prepared to address the following issues: A brief discussion of the relevant Aboriginal history of the area (specifically, the fact that there are Aboriginal remains buried at the Old Melbourne Cemetery, and the Aboriginal items discovered at the Munro site). A description of why Aboriginal cultural heritage is therefore an important consideration for the development of the QVM precinct. A high level description of the relevant legal/management framework, which should include a discussion of the section 173 Agreement already in place, and the Aboriginal registered place(s) (burial site, and the Munro site), and the impact of the relevant buffers under the AH Act/Regs. A description of the work that is currently being done in terms of the two CHMPs, which should include discussion of any considerations which will need to be taken into account in terms of exhumation of remains in the Old Melbourne Cemetery (on the basis that there is a small risk that some could be Aboriginal). Any other issues that you consider relevant to Amendment C245. 6. Persons undertaking tests or experiments upon which this report relies. Not applicable. Signed Jonathan Howell-Meurs Date 27th April 2016 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Expert Evidence – Redevelopment of the Queen Victoria Market – City of Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C245 and Implications for Development Author: Jonathan Howell-Meurs 27th April 2016 Introduction The following report presents Aboriginal Cultural Heritage expert evidence in relation to the proposed City of Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C245 for the redevelopment of the Queen Victoria Market. The report is broadly structured around the following sections: 1. A brief discussion of the relevant Aboriginal history of the area 2. The relevant legal/management framework. 3. The preparation of Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMPs) currently under way. Registered Aboriginal Parties and Applicants At the present time there is no Registered Aboriginal Party for the land which is subject to the proposed C245 Planning Scheme Amendment (hereafter the ‘subject land’). Previously the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council (WTLCCHC), the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC), Bunurong Land and Sea Association Incorporated (BLSAI) and Boon Wurrung Foundation Ltd (BWF) had also submitted applications for RAP status for the subject land, however these applications were declined. Nevertheless, the Aboriginal Heritage Council has acknowledged that the BLCAC, BLSAI, BWF and the WTLCCHC represent Traditional Owner Groups for the areas of their former applications and are to be consulted in relation to cultural heritage matters until such time as a successful RAP application is received. Aboriginal History of the Subject Land The lives of Aboriginal people in the Melbourne area were severely disrupted by the establishment and expansion of a European settlement. As a result, little information is available regarding the pre-contact lifestyle of Aboriginal people in the area, especially the subject land. The following section summarises major syntheses previously undertaken on Aboriginal associations with the Melbourne area in general in the pre-contact and post-contact period (i.e. Clark 1990; Clark & Heydon 1998; Presland 1994). Pre-Contact Period The subject land is located within the lands traditionally associated with the Woi wurrung language group (Clark 1990: Figure 13). The closest documented clan to the study area were the Wurrundjeri willam, a Woi wurrung clan who identified with land encompassing most of the Yarra River valley (Clark 1990:365). Clan boundaries were defined by mountains, creeks and rivers, and clans were familiar with the geography of their territory and the seasonal availability of resources within it. Clark and Heydon (1998:15) note that the Wurundjeri willam consisted of three smaller groups occupying specific areas of land within the broader Wurundjeri willam area. A group known as ‘Billibillary’s mob’ occupied an area encompassing the Maribyrnong River, Merri Creek, Lancefield and Mount William and is likely to have been the landowning group in the study area at the time of European settlement. ‘Bebejan’s mob’ occupied land between Merri Creek and the Yarra River, extending to Mt Baw Baw (Clark & Heydon 1998:17). The majority of references to Wurundjeri willam describe Aboriginal associations with either the Yarra River or Mount William, west of Kilmore (Presland 1994). The Wurundjeri willam had an extensive network of political, economic and social relations with neighbouring clans, including those from other language groups. Marriages were sought from the Bunjil moieties of the Bun wurrung (spelling according to Clark 1990, 364) to the south, the Taungurong to the north and a clan near Mount Macedon and Lancefield (Barwick 1984,104). Very little is known about the pre-European contact occupation of the subject land by the Wurrundjeri willam. Most references to Aboriginal people in the vicinity of Melbourne during the early contact period describe Woi wurrung people without specifying clan affiliation, or Aboriginal people from other language groups visiting the Melbourne area (Clark 1990). Clans from the Woi wurrung and other language groups regularly met for social, ceremonial and trade purposes, with Thomas, an Assistant Aboriginal Protector, in 1840 noting that: By what I can learn, long ere the settlement was formed the spot where Melbourne now stands and the flats on which we are now camped [on the south bank of the Yarra] was the regular rendezvous for the tribes known as Warorangs, Boonurongs, Barrabools, Nilunguons, Gouldburns twice a year or as often as circumstances and emergences required to settle their grievances, revenge deaths… (Thomas in Presland 1994, 35). Wurrundjeri willam people are likely to have taken part in large Aboriginal meetings, which occurred in the vicinity of Melbourne in the 1840s (Clark & Heydon 1998:21). Post-Contact Period The development of the township of Melbourne from the mid-1830s resulted in the loss of traditional lands and resources, the spread of disease, social breakdown and removal of both groups and individuals to reserves and mission stations. Aboriginal people from other clans and language groups were attracted to Melbourne for a variety of reasons, making it difficult to identify and document the ethnohistory and post-contact history of specific Aboriginal clan groups after the period of initial settlement. Aboriginal people continued to camp in and around the township of Melbourne. Mostly it appears they were people belonging to Woi wurrung and Bun wurrung clans, and their preferred camping places were along the south bank of the Yarra River, opposite the settlement of Melbourne and Government Paddocks (between Princess Bridge and Punt Road) (Clark & Heydon 1998:25). A Government Mission was built in 1837 on an 895-acre site, south of the Yarra River (east of Anderson St in Port Melbourne), with George Langhorne responsible for the running of the mission. The objective of the mission was to ‘civilise’ Aboriginal people and those who decided to live at the mission were provided with rations in exchange for agricultural endeavours. Children were also provided with rations for attending school classes. Woi wurrung people were mainly associated with the mission although members of other language groups were noted as being affiliated with the mission in 1838 (Clark & Heydon 1998:27). For a four-month period between 1838-9 the Native Police Corps was stationed in the Police Magistrates Paddock on the north side of the Yarra River, east of the township of Melbourne (Clark & Heydon 1998:27). In 1839 George Robinson, the Government appointed Chief Protector of Aboriginal people, arrived in Melbourne. His various bases in the proximity of Melbourne were important locations for Aboriginal people and during this period they often visited him and occasionally camped temporarily near his office (Clark & Heydon 1998:28). George Robinson’s bases are thought to have been: Police Magistrates Paddock July 1839; Unknown office July 1839 – December 1839?; Former Government Mission station

  • Corroboree Moderne
    Corrected draft May 2004 CORROBOREE MODERNE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dressed in a brown wool bodystocking specially made by Jantzen and brown face paint, an American dancer, Beth Dean played the young boy initiate in the ballet CORROBOREE at a Gala performance before Queen Elizabeth 11 and Prince Phillip on Feb 4 1954 . “On stage she seems to exude some of the primitive passion of the savage whose rites she presents” (1a) “If appropriations do have a general character, it is surely that of unstable duality. In some proportion, they always combine taking and acknowledgment, appropriation and homage, a critique of colonial exclusions, and collusion in imbalanced exchange. What the problem demands is therefore not an endorsement or rejection of primitivism in principle, but an exploration of how particular works were motivated and assessed.” (1) CORROBOREE "announced its modernity as loudly as its Australian origins…all around the world" (2) 1: (BE ABORIGINAL !) (3) - DANCE A CORROBOREE! The 1950s in the Northern Territory represents simultaneously the high point of corroboree and its vanishing point. At the very moment one of the most significant cultural exchanges of the decade was registered in Australian Society at large, the term corroboree became increasingly so associated with kitsch and the inauthentic it was erased as a useful descriptor, only to be reclaimed almost fifty years later. Corroboree became the bastard notion par excellence imbued with “in- authenticity.” It was such a popularly known term, that it stood as a generic brand for anything dinky-di Australian. (4) Corroboree came to be read as code for tourist trash culture corrupted by white man influence.

    Cultural Heritage Strategy 2008 – 2011 Preserving and promoting our cultural heritage Before unveiling the plaque From MMBW to at the offi cial opening of the Upper Yarra Dam, the Governor Melbourne Water acknowledged the motto of the Metropolitan Board ‘Public health is my reward’ and added… “I think you will agree that our Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works has never let us down in the past. It certainly has not let us A motto is a phrase describing the motivation or intention of an organisation. The crest of the down today and I know it will MMBW bears the motto, ‘salas mea publica merces’ not let us down in the future.” (‘public health is my reward’). 1891 Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW) was established with a charter to build and maintain an underground sewerage system and operate Melbourne’s water supply. 1991 MMBW merged with the Mornington Peninsula District Water Board, Dandenong Valley and Western Port Authorities, Dandenong- Springvale Water Board, Pakenham Water Board, Lang Lang Water Board and Emerald Water Board to form Melbourne Water. At this time, Melbourne Water has three operational regions – Maribyrnong, Yarra and South East. 1995 The Victorian Government split Melbourne’s water industry into three retail water businesses (City West Water, Yarra Valley Water and South East Water). Melbourne Water was established as the wholesale water business and Melbourne Parks and Waterways (the predecessor to Parks Victoria) was set up to manage parks. Melbourne Water retains responsibility for the collection, storage and wholesaling of water and for the treatment and disposal of sewage, as well as responsibility for regional drainage and waterways within the Melbourne Water operational boundary.

  • Australian Aboriginal Oral Traditions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Missouri: MOspace Oral Tradition 1/2 (1986): 231-71 Australian Aboriginal Oral Traditions Margaret Clunies Ross 1. Aboriginal Oral Traditions A History of Research and Scholarship1 The makers of Australian songs, or of the combined songs and dances, are the poets, or bards, of the tribes, and are held in great esteem. Their names are known in the neighboring tribes, and their songs are carried from tribe to tribe, until the very meaning of the words is lost, as well as the original source of the song. It is hard to say how far and how long such a song may travel in the course of time over the Australian continent. (Howitt 1904:414) In 1988 non-Aboriginal Australians will celebrate two hundred years’ occupation of a country which had previously been home to an Aboriginal population of about 300,000 people. They probably spoke more than two hundred different languages and most individuals were multilingual (Dixon 1980). They had a rich culture, whose traditions were centrally concerned with the celebration of three basic types of religious ritual-rites of fertility, initiation, and death (Maddock 1982:105-57). In many parts of Australia, particularly in the south where white settlement was earliest and densest, Aboriginal traditional life has largely disappeared, although the memory of it has been passed down the generations. Nowadays all Aborigines, even in the most traditional parts of the north, such as Arnhem Land, are affected to a greater or lesser extent by the Australian version of Western culture, and must preserve their own traditions by a combination of holding strategies.

  • Explanatory Introduction
    Outer Metropolitan Link to Melbourne Airport and Bulla Bypass DESKTOP ASSESSMENT REPORT Name of Activity: OMR Link to Melbourne Airport and Bulla Bypass AAV Management Plan Identifier: -- Sponsor: VicRoads Cultural Heritage Advisor: Andrew Long & Associates Author(s): Jonathan Howell-Meurs and Eden Alley-Porter (Andrew Long & Associates) This public access version has been edited to omit location and grid reference details of Aboriginal cultural heritage Report Date: 08/08/11 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This investigation was undertaken by searching relevant Commonwealth, State and local registers for any known heritage sites or places in the Project Area. Background research was also undertaken into the cultural heritage context and environmental history of the Project Area. This involved reviewing existing information on the Project Area including reports from previous heritage surveys undertaken in or within the project study area, published works about cultural heritage in the relevant geographic region, and historical and ethno-historical accounts of Aboriginal occupation of the relevant geographic region. All proposed alignments will impact at least one registered Aboriginal cultural heritage place and Options C – G will likely impact two sites. In terms of unregistered Aboriginal cultural heritage, those options which utilise existing road alignments are preferable over those which traverse previously undeveloped or minimally disturbed land as the potential to impact upon previously undisturbed Aboriginal cultural heritage is significantly greater in these areas than along pre-existing road alignments. On this basis Option E is to be preferred over Option H for example. In terms of non-Aboriginal cultural heritage sites and places, there is a greater degree of variation between the proposed options.

  • Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council in Relation to an Application by Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corporation to Be a Registered Aboriginal Party
    DECISION OF THE VICTORIAN ABORIGINAL HERITAGE COUNCIL IN RELATION TO AN APPLICATION BY TAUNGURUNG CLANS ABORIGINAL CORPORATION TO BE A REGISTERED ABORIGINAL PARTY DATE OF DECISION: 16 July 2009 Decision The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council (the Council) registers the Taungurung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (TCAC) as a registered Aboriginal party (RAP) under section 151 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act (Vic) 2006 (the Act). A map showing the area for which TCAC has been made a RAP (the RAP Area) is attached (Attachment 1). Reasons for Decision Overview TCAC represents Taungurung people who are members of the Kulin nation from cental Victoria. Members of the organisation have an ongoing relationship with the land of Taungurung people and some continue to live on country. This appointment confirms Taungurung people will continue to manage and celebrate their cultural heritage within their traditional country. TCAC have been appointed for just over half of the area for which they are seeking to become a RAP. Traditional Links TCAC is an organisation representing Taungurung (also ‘Taungurong’, ‘Daung Wurrung’) people, the Traditional Owners of country in central Victoria including the approved RAP area. TCAC membership is open to “Adult Aboriginal persons who are of Taungurung descent proven through genealogy”. TCAC provided genealogical and historical data to support their claim and the Council also conducted its own research. Research provided to the Council confirmed the traditional links of the TCAC membership and that the TCAC is able to accommodate any descendants of known apical ancestors in the RAP area. Other Aboriginal interests in the area The Council noted that there are a number of areas of the TCAC application which overlap with claims to country of other Traditional Owner groups.
