  • The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION

    The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION

    Mr John Shawcross 92 Macrae Street Applecross WA 6160 July 20th 2005 The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO HISTORIC HERITAGE Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry. I make my submission as a private citizen. While it is difficult to prove with hard facts, I have no doubt that where we choose to conserve our historic heritage, the economic, environmental and social benefits far outweigh the costs. Conversely, the lack of care of Australia's historic heritage over the last 40 years has had a disastrous effect on the environment of our central cities, towns and suburbs. Demolition of historic buildings and streetscapes which gave our cities and towns a high level of amenity has been driven by a taste for the ‘shiny and new’, and a belief that new buildings were automatically cheaper, more profitable and more efficient. In so many cases however, the demolished structures have been replaced by low- quality modern buildings that are ugly, poorly designed, inhospitable to pedestrians and ‘city life’ generally, and of poor durability. Short-term and unimaginative thinking has dominated the investment decisions that have driven this kind of development. It has diminished the environment of Australia's cities and towns, and it has also undermined the long term social and economic attractiveness of many areas for investment, business-migration and people. Some may say that this is unimportant, because in reality investment has simply moved elsewhere in the Australian marketplace. Instead of high quality main streets we have high levels of investment in amortizable office space, suburban shopping malls, suburban cinemas, entertainment megaplexes (casinos, convention centres, stadiums, etc), chain stores and so on.
