NCA Proposition Canberra Is Recognised As One of Australia's NCA Proposition Canberra is recognised as one of Australia’s great achievements. A beautiful city of identifiably Australian character, in which the National Capital’s roles and functions operate efficiently and with proper regard to their place and importance in a modern federal democracy. It is a city which symbolises Australian life and achievement, and is the actual as well as the symbolic home of the key elements of our Federal democracy and other aspects of national life. The character and setting of Canberra are unique. Many elements of Canberra’s design are of great practical import. This includes those which have created fitting spaces, approaches and backdrops for the institutions, symbols and ceremonies of our Federal democracy, and those which create the setting for the National Capital The vision of the Walter Burley Griffin plan and the quality of the landscape and central urban spaces are attributes unique to the National Capital. The national public places at the centre of the capital provide the setting for the Parliament and national institutions. Such places are also the setting for the ceremonial and community events that reflect our nation’s history, spirit and aspirations. The national areas of the capital should be meaningful, accessible and enjoyable. The Central National Area was created as a keystone to Australia’s national identity. This significant landscape represents the nation’s front yard to our national treasures and achievements. The infrastructure that supports it and the people who use it ensures that this public realm remains common ground for all Australians. As one of our most important cultural landscapes, upkeep of the Central National Area needs to embody national standards of safety and design through strategies that are place-making and purposeful. Sufficient funding towards the planning and management of its structures – particularly major infrastructure - is critical for keeping the history and use of its public realm relevant both now and for future generations. Without this investment, we weaken an important part of our national Australian heritage, and risk losing the crucial democratic tool of public space through its neglect. Introduction The National Capital belongs to all Australians. Embedded in the design of its significant avenues, ceremonial lawns and sweeping vistas is the narrative of Australia’s evolving story. The ambitions of a fledgling federation and ideals of democracy are expressed through its landscape, a national stage on which celebrations, commemorations and protests are enacted. Within the National Triangle, people are connected to some of the nation’s most important cultural, political and judicial institutions and symbols. As custodians of this shared space, the National Capital Authority (NCA) is committed to strategies that strengthen and protect this national landscape in ways that embrace Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations. To facilitate how people across the nation can identify, experience and access the National Capital, the NCA focuses on initiatives that deepen understanding and appreciation around the capital’s function and role in Australia’s nationhood. These ideas are explored further in response to the Terms of Reference as set out by the Inquiry into Canberra’s national institutions, as set out below. Term 1: Creating a strong brand and online presence Response: The National Capital is a reflection of who we are as a nation and our national values. Canberra, as a physical manifestation of the federation, is worthy of national celebration. The NCA’s responsibilities extend to fostering an awareness of Canberra as the National Capital in the hearts of all Australians. As our country’s symbolic centre, the National Triangle must be a place with which citizens can engage and are proud of. It must be a place worthy of the nation. To achieve this, the NCA continues to invest in services and attractions that foster local and national awareness around the significance and role of Canberra as the National Capital. Efforts have focused on strengthening this profile through the redevelopment of the National Capital Exhibition, touring exhibitions and advancement of the NCA’s online communication strategies. Renewal of the National Capital Exhibition The National Capital Exhibition (NCE) tells the story of creation of Canberra as our National Capital, which is in turn the story of the formation of Australian nationhood, and the creation of the city within which our democratic institution would be permanently located. This is a unique role, with no other institution telling this story. The NCE is currently undergoing the process of renewal to improve visitor experience, set to be launched in September of 2018. The process involved extensive research and assessment reviewing the market context of the NCE. Examples of good practice relevant to its new fitout were identified and the NCE’s role and purpose reviewed within the tourism context of Canberra’s cultural institutions. Its redevelopment will see a modern and engaging exhibition which caters both for school students and the general public. Traditionally, the NCE has been an important resource and starting point for visitors to Canberra, as it provides a conceptual, historical and physical orientation to the capital city and its institutions. It is uniquely placed to tell the story around Canberra’s development, its symbolism of Australian identity and presence on the world stage. The updated interpretive strategy will deliver this story through a focus on the following narratives: Orientation: Who and what was in this region before the modern capital. This draws heavily on Indigenous history of the area. Foundations of the Capital: Canberra is important because it was born from the process of federation and continues to reflect national ideals Ideals and dreams / symbols: The Griffins’ design for Canberra was driven by ideas and aspirations for the new nation. Though the city has changed with the needs of the nation, their design created a world-class city, based on the best of international thinking and placed the natural landscape at the core of their design Developing Canberra: As the national capital, where key nation-making decisions, commemoration, protest and international relations happen. The future of the Capital: Canberra is not a museum piece but a living, working and evolving capital. As the custodian of Canberra, the NCA aims to ensure that it continues to be a symbol of Australian national life. Each narrative will be delivered following best practice for museums on use of language, tone, word count and curatorial content. Website redevelopment The NCA’s online presence has been advanced through the launch of a more user-friendly website, as well as targeted communications through advertising and social media such as Twitter and Facebook. In July 2017, the NCA launched its new GovCMS Drupal website, www.nca.gov.au. The government endorsed platform was created for government by government and is driven by agency and end-user needs, allowing departments to share new features created to support their site. This in the long-term creates cost-efficiencies, reducing developer costs associated with creating tailored functionality. The redeveloped site incorporated responsive web design (RWD) principles, improved compliancy with WCAG 2.0 Level AA/AAA standards and is supported by a user-friendly Content Management System. Taking an agile approach to the project, the website is being developed via a staged program of works building on the improvements from the initial site. In December 2017, to the NCA commenced Stage 2 works which have now been implemented. These included: Redevelopment of the front end framework Redesign of the homepage and lading pages Optimising the site to be mobile and tablet responsive Improvements towards a WCAG 2.0 AAA standard Future works will include improvements to the information architecture and navigation as well as taking advantage of additional capabilities rolled-out as part of the platform’s updates such as event booking functionalities. Term 2: Experimenting with new forms of public engagement and audience participation Response: The landscape of the National Capital serves as a repository for national treasures and cultural achievement. Its design, management and upkeep facilitates people’s connection with and understanding of these significant resources. Walter Burley Griffin’s design of the National Capital manifested ideals of democracy into the physical form and layout of the capital. It is this ‘Democratic Architecture’ which defines the hierarchy of land areas within the National Triangle, its grand avenues terminating at the nation’s symbolic centre of Parliament House. As Canberra’s landscape has matured over the last century, people across the nation have relied on this infrastructure to make ideas heard and actions visible. Its recreational spaces have connected people with landscape, government and culture. This past February, Australians came together near Parliament House on Federation Mall to acknowledge the ten year anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generation. During the Enlighten Festival in March, cultural institutions were illuminated within the iconic landscape of the National Triangle, a celebration of Canberra’s artistic and cultural heart. In April, many thousands of Australians gathered on Anzac Parade to pay their respects at the dawn service on Anzac Day. These are but a few examples which

    CHAPTER 5 AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT GROWTH “AIRPORTS...ARE A VITAL PART OF ENSURING THAT OUR NATION IS ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...” THE HON WARREN TRUSS, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER 5 Airline and aircraft movement growth The volume of passenger and aircraft movements at Canberra Airport has declined since 2009/2010. In 2013/2014 Canberra Airport will handle approximately 2.833 million passengers across approximately 60,000 aircraft movements, its lowest recorded passenger volume since 2007/2008. The prospects for a future return to growth however are strong. Canberra Airport expects a restoration of volume growth in 2015/2016 and retains confidence in the future of the aviation market in Canberra, across Australia, and particularly the Asia Pacific region. Over the next 20 years passenger numbers at Canberra Airport are projected to reach 9 million passengers per annum with some 153,000 aircraft movements in 2033/2034. Canberra Airport, with its extensive infrastructure upgrades in recent years, is well positioned to meet forecast demand with only minor additional infrastructure and capitalise on growth opportunities in the regional, domestic and international aviation markets. 5.1 OVERVIEW Globally, the aviation industry has experienced enormous change over the past 15 years including deregulation of the airline sector, operational and structural changes in the post-September 11 2001 environment, oil price shocks, the collapse of airlines as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC), and the rise of new global players in the Middle East at the expense of international carriers from traditional markets. Likewise, Australia has seen enormous change in its aviation sector – the demise of Ansett, the emergence of Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways, the subsequent repositioning of two out of three of these new entrant airlines and, particularly in the Canberra context, the collapse of regional airlines.

  • Place Details
    Australian Heritage Database Page 1 of 4 Place Details Send Feedback Parliament House Vista Extension - Portal Buildings, Anzac Pde, Parkes, ACT, Australia Photographs None List Commonwealth Heritage List Class Historic Legal Status Listed place (22/06/2004) Place ID 105474 Place File No 8/01/000/0497 Summary Statement of Significance The Portal Buildings are important for their association with the push to transfer public servants from Melbourne to Canberra in the 1960s under the Liberal Government of Sir Robert Menzies. They are also important for their association with the consultancy of Sir William Holford and the views of the Senate Select Committee, which saw Canberra as a unified city in which background buildings in a monumental style functioned both as symbols of government and Australian unity. In this respect the Portal buildings are an expresssion of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) which adopted the views of Holford and the Senate, and interpreted them in terms of the formal composition of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra, with its cumulative massing, axiality and avenues. (Criterion A.4 and criterion H.1) (Themes: 4.2 Supplying urban services, 5.4 Working in offices, 7.5 Developing administrative structures and authorities) As symbols of government, the monumental Portal Buildings are located on Walter Burley Griffin's land axis, Anzac Parade, and the municipal axis, Consitution Avenue, which defines the northern side of the Parliamentary Triangle area in the heart of Canberra, and frame the Parliamentary vista at its transition from land to lake. The Portal Buildings exhibit a monumental character through strongly modelled structural bays, emphasised by the vertical emphasis of the columns and the use of sandstone cladding to the structural elements of the elevations, and are important elements of Civic Design in the urban setting of Canberra.

  • A Centenary Review of Transport Planning in Canberra, Australia
    Progress in Planning 87 (2014) 1–32 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann A centenary review of transport planning in Canberra, Australia Paul Mees School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University, GPO Box 2476, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia Abstract For the most important periods in its 100-year history, Canberra, Australia, has been planned around the car, with eliminating traffic congestion the number one planning goal. During the last decade, this vision of Canberra has been increasingly questioned, with both Territory and Commonwealth planning bodies advocating a more ‘transit-oriented’ urban form. Trends in transport usage rates and mode shares have not, however, followed the new planning directions: the car remains dominant, while public transport usage rates remain much lower than those achieved in Canberra in past decades. The 2013 centenary of Canberra offers an opportunity to review the development of one of the world’s few comprehensively planned capital cities. This paper explores the reasons behind Canberra’s apparent ‘love affair’ with the car, and corresponding poor public transport performance. It traces trends in policies and usage rates over the last half-century. In particular, it explores the remarkable, but largely forgotten, transport turnaround that took place in Canberra between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s. Transport policy changes introduced by a reformist federal government saw public transport usage rates double in a decade, while car usage stopped growing. For a time it appeared that the national capital was leading the way towards a transit-oriented future. Significantly, the turnaround was achieved without any substantial change to Canberra’s density and urban form.

  • Link Airlines First Flight to Hobart
    MEDIA RELEASE 5 November 2020 Canberra Airport celebrates first flight to Hobart with Link Airways Today, Canberra Airport celebrates the first flight between Canberra and Hobart since 2013, in partnership with Link Airways. This comes after the Tasmanian Government’s recent announcement to open borders to the ACT from October 26 and to NSW residents from 6 November 2020. Flights have been increasingly popular since the announcement of the new service just 4 weeks ago, with the first four flights now sold out. Link Airways has promptly responded to the demand, adding additional services to assist passengers looking to travel before the end of the year. Canberra Airport’s Head of Aviation, Michael Thomson is pleased with the support for the new service and believes that is another boost for the region in our COVID recovery. “We are delighted to see the steady return of aviation with flights consistently increasing each week as border restrictions ease across Australia and, with more flights and more destinations on offer like Hobart, we are confident that this will continue.” Mr Thomson said. Link Airways Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Major said Link Airways is delighted to expand their network, connecting local Canberrans with Hobart and to offer Hobart residents the opportunity to visit the nation’s capital. “As borders reopen, we’re delighted to be a part of reconnecting loved ones who have been separated due to COVID, as well as supporting the local tourist economies of Canberra and Hobart. The demand for this route has been there from the beginning, so we’re particularly pleased to now facilitate the route.

  • ACT Government Submission the House of Representatives Select Committee on Regional Australia: Inquiry Into Regional Australia
    ACT Government Submission The House of Representatives Select Committee on Regional Australia: Inquiry into Regional Australia Introduction The ACT Government has a long-standing commitment to supporting regional development, including strong support for efficient and consistent service delivery to ensure the best social, health and economic outcomes for the regional communities of the Canberra Region. The Canberra Region is a strong, growing economy within Australia’s most geographically diverse natural environment. It encompasses the Australian Capital Territory, south-western slopes of NSW, the NSW southern tablelands, south coast, snowy mountains and NSW high country. The vibrant regional economy is underpinned by transport connections to Canberra and Sydney, offering diverse agricultural and tourism opportunities as well as collaborations between public and private sectors. The ACT’s unique position as a jurisdiction surrounded by NSW creates a different experience in relation to regional development than that experienced by other Australian jurisdictions. Canberra is an important regional hub for South-East NSW, providing key social services, employment, transport and trade connections (including emerging international export opportunities) for around 750,000 people. Canberra’s growth is also expected to provide an increasing range of employment and educational opportunities to the region, particularly in relation to public administration and professional services. The ACT and surrounding NSW state and local governments recognise that people who live in the Canberra Region do not see a border, and so are committed to a borderless approach. Several collaborative frameworks are in place to promote the growth and prosperity of the ACT and NSW surrounding region in a borderless environment.
