  • The Start of Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-Tha
    BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA by Barbara Wintringham and Ray Steward December 2017 1 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Barbara Wintringham - Volunteer Guide 1991 to 2016 Ray Steward - Manager Parks Department at Brisbane City Council 1970 to 1992, and Volunteer Guide from 1992 to the time of writing. BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA As these fine gardens approach their 50th year in 2020 have you ever wondered how the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha started? It is quite a story and a small miracle that it ever happened. Walking in those lovely gardens today, it is hard to remember that only 50 years ago, these were bare slopes with a few eucalypt regrowth trees. Brisbane now has a world class botanic garden that is attracting large numbers of visitors and we owe so much to those early planners and hard workers who created this unique place. There are several general accounts of the history of the gardens but none that specifically cover the individuals who brought it to fruition or the bureaucratic environment in which it happened. What follows is a distillation of my own extensive oral and library research into this side of the garden’s history, as well as Ray Steward’s personal recollections. I have chosen six people to profile who stood out as the most significant contributors, each playing a specific founding role in some aspect of the gardens. Obviously, there were many more. I was a volunteer guide at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha for 25 years and retired at Christmas 2016.

  • Regulatory Strategies for Managing Noise from Outdoor Music Concerts
    Proceedings of ACOUSTICS 2016 9-11 November 2016, Brisbane, Australia Regulatory Strategies for Managing Noise from Outdoor Music Concerts Alex Marchuk 1 and Frank Henry 1 1City Planning and Sustainability Division, Brisbane City Council, Brisbane, Australia ABSTRACT Government authorities are faced with a number of challenges when attempting to regulate noise from outdoor concerts. A key difficulty is the ability of an authority to meaningfully influence the behaviour of a concert operator during the concert itself. In many jurisdictions, penalties for environmental noise nuisance are an insufficient deterrent – resulting in permit conditions and noise limits being routinely exceeded or ignored. Authorities can also face a regulatory burden where noise conditions are technically difficult to measure, difficult to determine compliance, and require specialised equipment and staff to be available outside standard business hours. Noise regulations need to be carefully determined with the aim of motivating good noise self-regulation without being prohibitively punitive or impractical. Noise limits need to consider the realistic sound levels that are needed to hold a successful concert, while still preventing unreasonable behaviour. This strategy has been implemented by setting noise measurement locations at the sound mixing desk. Mixing desk staff can then monitor their own levels with immediate feedback and corrections where required. Self-monitoring provides industry with the ability to clearly demonstrate responsible behaviour to authorities and the community and it provides certainty and security for future use of the venue. 1. INTRODUCTION Outdoor music concert noise creates a unique regulatory challenge for authorities. Most noise regulation considers noise over long term periods with fixed and relatively predictable sources e.g.

  • Community Event Unveiled for Brisbane City
    Community Event Unveiled for Brisbane City Brisbane is buzzing today following the announcement of the Blast by Tour de Brisbane, a community celebration featuring five lifestyle events over the Story Bridge. The Sunday 15 November event will feature a Free 4km Bridge Walk, Free 4km Community Fun Run and Free 4km Community Ride. There will also be a Cycling Queensland 10.5km Cycle Sprint as well as a Triathlon Queensland Duathlon with an ITU Age Group World Qualifier. All events start at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, with participants making their way over the iconic Story Bridge into the Ivory Street Tunnel, continuing on Queen and Eagle Streets through to the City Botanic Gardens. Walkers, runners and cyclists will enjoy the best sights of the City from the Bridge and will be encouraged to make their way into the Mall for a coffee and bite to eat after finishing. Event Director Mike Crawley said the Tour de Brisbane was well supported by businesses and residents and wanted in turn to offer a ‘'thank you Brisbane'’ event given the last six months of stresses during isolation and restrictions. "We understand the enormous benefits being active and going outside has on our physical and mental well-being, and the five Blast events cater to all ages and abilities," said Crawley. "Thanks to our insurance sponsors, we are offering free entries for the Walk, Run, and Ride." "Additionally with the 2020 local sports racing calendar mostly postponed, it is great to have our partners Cycling Queensland and Triathlon Queensland assisting with the Duathlon and Cycle Sprint races." This event will run in consultation with State Sporting Organisations and Department of Health requirements to ensure delivery of a COVID-safe event.

  • Brisbane City Botanic Gardens Conservation Study FINAL REPORT Section 5
    BRISBANE CITY BOTANIC GARDENS C O N S E R V A T I O N S T U D Y F I N A L R E P O R T OCTOBER 1995 5G - HISTORICAL REVIEW A History of Botanic Gardens Compiled by Helen Hamley Brisbane City Botanic Gardens Conservation Study FINAL REPORT Section 5. APPENDICES 5G.1 INTRODUCTION This historical overview outlines how the gardens have changed over time, described broadly. There are eight distinct phases related to the custodial management of the place, namely: 1828-1855 : Government Garden 1855-1889 : Walter Hill's Curatorship plus Pink & Cowan 1889-1905 : MacMahon's Curatorship 1905-1917 : J F Bailey's Directorship 1917-1940 : E W Bick's Curatorship 1940-1956 : WWII & J R Bailey's Curatorship 1956-1985 : Caulfield's Curatorship & Beyond 1985-1994 : Gardens Point Redevelopment & Beyond. 5G.2 HISTORICAL REVIEW 1828-1855 : Government Garden The site occupied by what is now known as the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens (to distinguish it from the more recently established Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens) was first used as a garden area in the 1820s when the Moreton Bay area was strictly a convict settlement. The Colonial Botanist, Charles Fraser, visited the settlement in 1828 and laid out a Government Garden on a fifteen (15) acres downstream portion of the present site3. A superintendent of agriculture was appointed to the settlement in the same year and fruits, vegetables and spices were cultivated in the garden4. Refer to Figure 3A.1 Despite the possibility of eventual closure of the settlement, mooted from the early 1830s, the garden was still thriving in 1836 when James Backhouse, an English Quaker visited Moreton Bay.
