However, debate on the definition of public art is still going on: ‘Artworks in Public Places’ and ‘Artworks by/with the public’. Roles and content of public art in Melbourne have been altered and they have affected the typology chronologically and geographically.

  • Melbourne Parks and Gardens Through the Magic Lantern
    While the depression of the 1890s has dented their confidence, Melbournians have good reason to feel pleased with themselves as the new century begins: Queen Victoria has graciously agreed to the formation of the new Commonwealth; the first motor cars are appearing on the city’s streets (a mixed blessing, admittedly); some of the better homes are lit by electricity, the marvel of the age, and the telephone is revolutionising business communications (although, of course, nobody would think of having one in the home). Furthermore, a new city-wide sewerage system has drastically reduced the risk of typhoid and other deadly diseases. Australians, as one contemporary journalist enthuses, ‘... are equipped by a more than usually high average of education, a broader measure of political privilege, and a more generous share of individual freedom and public liberty than those who have preceded us in the race.’ 1 There can be few more potent expressions of civic pride than the public park or garden. From the mid-nineteenth century, almost every Victorian town of consequence had established its own municipal botanic garden, an achievement unmatched by any other state. And now, with working hours reduced to an average of 48 per week, citizens of all social classes had the leisure to enjoy them. And enjoy them they did! That horticultural genius, William Guilfoyle, was transforming Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens into a verdant paradise, while the ring of public parks around the city – Carlton, Alexandra, Fitzroy, Treasury and Flagstaff Gardens, and the Domain - which only thirty years earlier the visiting English writer, Anthony Trollope, had derided as ‘not lovely’ and ‘not in themselves well kept’2 had been rejuvenated, with wide, tree-lined avenues, colourful parterres and mixed borders.

  • Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a List for Each State, Territory and Region…
    Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a list for each state, territory and region… The AGHS are keen to find out from you which ten gardens in your region, state or territory – public and private – you think are remarkable or notable in that area. This might be for their heritage significance, their quality, or their intactness or ‘integrity’ (e.g. of an era, or style). It might be for their historic, expression of their geographic location, their style or design or their ‘intact’ character. They may be heritage-listed, in recognition of this – or unsung gems. Below are some ideas of ours as a start, with some reasons why. In two lists: ‘Public’ and ‘Private’. They are listed in chronological order – i.e. oldest garden to youngest. This in no way makes judgements about any being ‘better’ than any others – just ‘remarkable’ in that state or area. By ‘Public’ we mean publicly owned, and open to the public. So parks, botanic gardens and the like. NB: this does not imply ‘free’ entry, necessarily. With increasing budget stringency, some ‘Public’ gardens now charge fees for entry, to help cover maintenance costs. An example are the suite of properties, some with well renowned historic gardens, run by Sydney Living Museums, e.g. Elizabeth Farm, Parramatta, NSW and Vaucluse House garden, Vaucluse, NSW. Universities are ‘private’ entities, and ‘private’ means privately-owned, some of which are opened to the public (usually for a fee). Again, the emphasis is not on whether entry is free or paid – it is on ownership and accessibility. AGHS membership often means that members can access privately- owned gardens that do not, normally, or frequently, open to the general public.

    Page 1 of 40 Management report to Council Agenda item 6.8 Ministerial Amendment C370 Treasury Square Council Presenter: Emma Appleton, Director City Strategy 26 May 2020 Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the City of Melbourne’s submission (Attachment 2) to the combined planning scheme amendment and planning permit application for subdivision prepared by the Minister for Planning for Treasury Square (Attachment 3). 2. Amendment C370 and the accompanying planning permit application affect 295-357 Wellington Parade South, which is a portion of VicTrack-owned land south of Wellington Parade South and Flinders Street, and extending from the eastern edge of Batman Avenue/Citylink to just beyond the eastern edge of Spring Street. 3. The Planning Scheme Amendment is to rezone the land to Capital City Zone Schedule 1 (CCZ1); apply Design and Development Overlay Schedule 10 (DDO10); apply the Environmental Audit Overlay (EAO); and refer future applications to VicTrack and the Department of Transport. Schedule 12 to the Parking Overlay (PO12) and the City Link Project Overlay (CLPO) currently apply and are intended to remain. The Planning Permit application is for a subdivision into two lots, with a number of parts. Key issues 4. This is a significant and strategic site in central Melbourne, adjacent to the Hoddle Grid, with a frontage to Flinders Street and Wellington Parade South, and adjacent to an established inner city neighbourhood. Development on this site will be highly visible along the Yarra River corridor. The site is highly encumbered by transport infrastructure, including railway lines and substations.
