Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

  • Teacher‟S Guide Middle and Upper Primary
    Teacher‟s Guide Middle and Upper Primary Some Introductory Information about the Bell Tower. In 1988, the existing bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields, one of London‟s most famous churches, were presented to Western Australia as part of a program of activities to commemorate the Australian Bicentennial. This group of 12 bells was cast in 1725-26 and is the only peal of Royal bells known to have left England. A further five bells were cast in 1988 and in 1997 the WA government commissioned the casting of the “Millennium Bell” to complete a ring of 18 bells, one of the largest in the world. On October 18th, 1998 the then Premier of Western Australia, the Hon. Richard Court MLA, announced plans for the extensive redevelopment of Barrack Square on the foreshore of the Swan River. This would include as its central feature, a spectacular tower to house the „Swan Bells‟. Officially opened December 10, 2000, the Bell Tower was Western Australia‟s Millennium Project and the centrepiece of the Barrack Square Redevelopment. Designed by local architects Hames Sharley (WA) Pty Ltd, the Bell Tower features a steel and glass spire 82.2 metres in height and copper-clad „sails‟ which reflect the maritime history of the area and the importance of mining to the State. The Bell Tower is the first in the world to be built to allow the public to view the bells during ringing and to watch the bell ringers perform their art. There is also an external observation deck that offers unparalleled views of the river and the city.

Given the scope and breadth of the Elizabeth Quay project as the centrepiece of a long-term redevelopment plan, it is natural for there to be healthy range of views. Please find in this letter comments in response to the additional topics brought forward by the petitioners. Riverside Drive The petition states several issues involving the diversion of traffic from Riverside Drive, including an influx of employees into the CBD. Perth is experiencing a period of significant transformation, renewal and development similar to only two other periods in our State's history — pre-Federation and Sir Charles Court eras. It is the responsibility of State Government to accommodate this growth. Elizabeth Quay is one of a number of projects that is creating the capacity for residents, businesses and visitors alike. There has been significant public consultation and a number of different designs for Elizabeth Quay put forward. In order to improve access to the Swan River, the one constant element across the designs has been the diversion of Riverside Drive. • The latitude of the project's traffic impacts are recognised and being considered across a range of government bodies, including the Department of Transport, the City of Perth, and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority.

  • The History and Development of Barrack Square
    The History and Development of Barrack Square The Swan Bells is located in Barrack Square behind the six jetties currently servicing the Swan River. To the indigenous Noongar people, the river was known as Derbal Yaragan (‘brackish place of the turtle’ in English) and was created by the Wagyl or Rainbow Serpent in the Dreamtime. The European history of the river began when it was given the name Zwaanenrivier (or Swan River) after the many black swans observed by the Dutch navigator Willem de Vlamingh when he travelled nearly 20 kilometres up the river on January 10, 1697 just past the area where the Belltower now stands. Here he was forced to stop by the mudflats surrounding Heirisson Island (near the Causeway). There is now a memorial to Willem de Vlamingh on the foreshore behind jetty 6 at Barrack Square which features a sundial. Prior to European settlement much of area was mudflats along the river’s edge which was subsequently reclaimed to provide extra land for the growing colony and to reduce the breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The Swan River was vital to the economy of the colony and strongly influenced the patterns of settlement when the Swan River Colony was settled in 1829. Shipping was able to travel up river from Fremantle, the original landing site, to Perth the site chosen as the capital, and on to Guildford where good agricultural land was being developed. There were four jetties servicing the river trade by the 1840’s, Mill Street, William Street, Barrack Street, and Pier Street, which was rebuilt about 1845.

  • The Swan Bells in Perth, Western Australia
    A RESPONSE TO HERITAGE NEEDS: THE SWAN BELLS IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA J.A. GARTON SMITH Adjunct Research Fellow, Research Institute for Cultural Heritage, Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia SUMMARY The Swan Bells is a bell tower project within the Barrack Square Redevelopment Project in Perth, Western Australia. It poses a philosophic architectural and heritage problem: how to respond to the often conflicting requirements that monuments embody both celebration and critique. The Swan Bells is a problematic response to Perth’s heritage needs for a mature city icon. 1. INTRODUCTION Bells made famous in the old English nursery rhyme, “Oranges and Lemons”, are to be hung twenty thousand kilometres from their London home in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Generations of children in Anglo-Saxon countries have grown up with the old nursery rhyme which includes the line, “You owe me five farthings say the bells of Saint Martin”. First cast in the fourteenth century, these twelve bells hung for centuries in the tower of the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, London. With the addition of six new bells, they are the now the largest set of change ringing bells in the world and effectively one of the biggest musical instruments. In 1988 the Cities of London and Westminster gave the bells to the people of Perth as part of a series of national projects which commemorated the bicentennial of British settlement in Australia. In 1999, the WA government began building a bell tower in a landmark location to house what are now called The Swan Bells.

At the regional scale the image of the Precinct and the adjoining foreshore precincts will be predominantly one of parkland and open space as part of an extensive, linked metropolitan foreshore parkland system. The city foreshore will be unique within this system in recognition of its central city location and role as a water gateway to the city centre. Strong visual and physical links between this Precinct and the city centre will be provided by carefully located elements of built form and continuous networks of open space. Views to and from the foreshore and the surrounding features are to be established and enhanced. Landscaping will be ecologically sensitive and be capable of management by the local government. Proposed buildings and structures must preserve the parkland open space character of the foreshore while reinforcing the development node of Barrack Square. Development will have regard to matters such as scale, location, materials, colour and design character to promote a cohesive image for the Precinct, to protect important views and to achieve pedestrian comfort and amenity.
