Acton Conservation Area
ACTON CONSERVATION AREA Australian Capital Territory Heritage Management Plan March 2011 This Heritage Management Plan is to be recognised as a Management Plan under the Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (s341S) Executive Summary This Heritage Management Plan (HMP) was prepared by the Australian National University (ANU) in 2009. The Acton Conservation Area is a listed item on the Commonwealth Heritage List (#105340) and most buildings have also been Nominated or Registered for the ACT Heritage Register. This Heritage Management Plan has been prepared as one of the guiding documents for the ongoing management of the site, including measures to conserve the heritage values and policies for future developments. Acton represents an important link between the current city of Canberra and its early development. The area has close associations with the local Indigenous communities. Early exploration of the region led to the first permanent European settlement in the 1820s, before the land was purchased by the Commonwealth in 1911-12 to become part of the Federal Capital Territory. Acton was the first property resumed and became the administrative and social heart of Canberra until the 1930s. The area was absorbed into the campus of the Australian National University in the early 1950s. The Acton Conservation Area consists of four separate site complexes: Lennox House, Old Canberra House, the Acton Cottages and the old Canberra Community Hospital (Old Hospital Buildings). Each zone is made up of a number of early Acton buildings, used for a range of purposes by the University or affiliated groups. The HMP examines the values of each of the distinct zones, as well as the Conservation Area as a whole and its relationship to the rest of the ANU campus.

Where, the extant qualities of a subject’s lived experience, is the primary objective of biographical enquiry. The creative component is a work of ethnobiographical nonfiction about South Australian studio glass artist, titled, Nick Mount: Blow by blow. It is comprised of a series of separate thematic narratives which act as entry points into more comprehensive, intimate and historical explorations of Mount’s identity, and reveals Mount’s contribution to Australian visual arts culture. The exegesis, Reconfiguring biography: A genre in motion briefly charts the evolving genre of biographical life writing.

BEHIND the LANDSCAPE of LAKE BURLEY GRIFFIN: Landscape, Water, Politics and the National Capital
BEHIND THE LANDSCAPE OF LAKE BURLEY GRIFFIN: Landscape, water, politics and the national capital. 1899-1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DIANNE F. FIRTH Division of Communication and Education UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA 2000 i II. SUMMARY The Australian Constitution of 1901 required Parliament to establish its seat of Government in territory in New South Wales, but distant from Sydney. Interpreted as cause for building a new city it was, from the earliest deliberations, conceived as a city beautified by a landscape enhanced by water. Despite Australia’s variable climate, particularly its unreliable rainfall, the Canberra site on the Molonglo River provided an opportunity for storing a large body of ornamental water in a picturesque landscape setting, provided storage reservoirs were built to maintain water levels. Walter Burley Griffin’s design gave the Lake form as a chain of ornamental lakes and parklands through the centre of the city. However, developing the Lake was complex and costly and although Parliament met at Canberra from 1927 it was not until the early 1960s that work began on implementing the Lake. Lake Burley Griffin was inaugurated in 1964. Inquiring into the significance of landscape setting and ornamental water for Australia’s National capital the thesis reviews designed landscapes in cities that Australia aspired to emulate and the organisational and professional structures that enabled landscape projects to be implemented. Using Canberra’s lake as a focus this thesis examines the national and international context of landscape ideas, analyses the processes of landscape implementation in the public domain and evaluates the design outcome.
