Broadway—Heritage Impact Statement—Final Report Version 3, April 2009 Concept Plan—University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) Broadway—Heritage Impact Statement 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Preamble Godden Mackay Logan (GML) has been commissioned by the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) to prepare a heritage impact statement (HIS) to accompany the UTS Concept Plan application under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW). This HIS identifies and assesses the potential heritage impact of the proposal on the existing buildings and site as well as any potential impacts on the heritage significance of the setting, heritage streetscapes, Aboriginal and historical archaeological remains, conservation areas and landscape and built heritage items in the vicinity of the site. 1.2 Methodology GML undertook a comprehensive assessment of the built heritage and archaeological potential of the UTS Broadway Precinct (the study site) in three stages: • Stage 1—Built Heritage Assessment provided assessment of three heritage-listed buildings (CB03, CB08 and CB11) and four further potential heritage items (CB09, CB10, CB12 and CB13). GML assessed the seven buildings against NSW Heritage Criteria and prepared State Heritage Inventory forms for each detailing the conclusions. These inventory forms are provided in Appendix A of this report. • Stage 2—Archaeological Assessment was an Aboriginal and European archaeological assessment of the UTS site. The assessment was prepared to identify known or potential Aboriginal and historical archaeological heritage within the site and provide advice regarding the management of the known and potential archaeological resource. • Stage 3—Heritage Impact Statement (this report) assesses the potential impact of the UTS Concept Plan application on the archaeological potential and heritage items within the study site and its vicinity. The conclusions of the Stage 1 and 2 assessments have been used to guide this heritage impact assessment. In preparing this HIS, reference has been made to the NSW Heritage Manual Guidelines for the preparation of Statements of Heritage Impact (NSW Department of Planning and Heritage Council

Luke PUNZET November 2008 i THE EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE OF COB STRUCTURES ABSTRACT This project set out to conduct research on cob as a sustainable, low-cost and earthquake-resistant building material for use in developing regions, using the Philippines as a case study. To do this scaled test structures were built and tested under seismic conditions to determine the level of structural integrity that can be expected from cob structures, to provide a comparison of different reinforcing conditions, and to evaluate how this method of construction compares to alternative earth building methods. These structures were designed to utilise Oregon cob, a material consisting of clay, sand and straw to create monolithic walls. The role of our research was to determine the structural suitability of cob in meeting the earthquake conditions of the Philippines and across South East Asia.

  • Urban Design in Central Sydney 1945–2002: Laissez-Faire and Discretionary Traditions in the Accidental City John Punter
    Progress in Planning 63 (2005) 11–160 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann Urban design in central Sydney 1945–2002: Laissez-Faire and discretionary traditions in the accidental city John Punter School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University, Cardiff CF10 3WA, UK Abstract This paper explores the laissez faire and discretionary traditions adopted for development control in Central Sydney over the last half century. It focuses upon the design dimension of control, and the transition from a largely design agnostic system up until 1988, to the serious pursuit of design excellence by 2000. Six eras of design/development control are identified, consistent with particular market conditions of boom and bust, and with particular political regimes at State and City levels. The constant tensions between State Government and City Council, and the interventions of state advisory committees and development agencies, Tribunals and Courts are explored as the pursuit of design quality moved from being a perceived barrier to economic growth to a pre-requisite for global competitiveness in the pursuit of international investment and tourism. These tensions have given rise to the description of Central Sydney as ‘the Accidental City’. By contrast, the objective of current policy is to consistently achieve ‘the well-mannered and iconic’ in architecture and urban design. Beginning with the regulation of building height by the State in 1912, the Council’s development approval powers have been severely curtailed by State committees and development agencies, by two suspensions of the Council, and more recently (1989) by the establishment of a joint State- Council committee to assess major development applications.
