  • Australia Post Heritage Strategy

    Australia Post Heritage Strategy

    Heritage Strategy Australia Post Heritage Places Corporate Infrastructure Services Division - CRE Introduction Amendments to the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (EPBC Act, introduced in January 2004) together with amendments to the Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000 (the Regulations) introduced a new Commonwealth heritage management regime. The legislation established the Commonwealth Heritage List, and a number of Australia Post properties were subsequently added to the List (currently less than 20 places Australia wide). Australia Post is required by January 2006, under Section 341ZA of the EPBC Act, to prepare a Heritage Strategy to guide and govern management of its properties included in the Commonwealth Heritage List. While the number of Australia Post heritage places currently included in the Commonwealth Heritage List is comparatively small, there are many places included in state or territory heritage registers, and/or subject to local government heritage controls, which it is anticipated will have Commonwealth heritage values and will be progressively added to the Commonwealth Heritage List. There may also be places not currently covered by heritage controls, or included in lists or registers, which will have Commonwealth heritage values. The Heritage Strategy also applies to all places with Commonwealth heritage values. Australia Post Australia Post is a government business enterprise which operates under the Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989. The Board of Australia

    TRANSCRIPT OF ORAL HISTORY RECORDING Accession number S00938 Title (O18235/260714) Gibbes, Robert Henry Maxwell ‘Bobby’ (Wing Commander) Interviewer Stokes, Edward Place made Not stated Date made 28 April 1990 Description Robert Henry Maxwell (Bobby) Gibbes as a squadron leader, 3 Squadron RAAF, interviewed by Edward Stokes for The Keith Murdoch Sound Archive of Australia in the War of 1939-1945 R.H. (BOBBY) GIBBES 2 of 43 Disclaimer The Australian War Memorial is not responsible either for the accuracy of matters discussed or opinions expressed by speakers, which are for the reader to judge. Transcript methodology Please note that the printed word can never fully convey all the meaning of speech, and may lead to misinterpretation. Readers concerned with the expressive elements of speech should refer to the audio record. It is strongly recommended that readers listen to the sound recording whilst reading the transcript, at least in part, or for critical sections. Readers of this transcript of interview should bear in mind that it is a verbatim transcript of the spoken word and reflects the informal conversational style that is inherent in oral records. Unless indicated, the names of places and people are as spoken, regardless of whether this is formally correct or not – e.g. ‘world war two’ (as spoken) would not be changed in transcription to ‘second world war’ (the official conflict term). A few changes or additions may be made by the transcriber or proof-reader. Such changes are usually indicated by square brackets, thus: [ ] to clearly indicate a difference between the sound record and the transcript.
