This framework is being used in a number of other countries and some state governments in Australia. The framework and these reference models have been endorsed by the Australian Government’s Chief Information Officers’ Committee. Developing an architecture framework is a large undertaking and one that is never really finalised. As a result, we decided to release the AGA in a series of versions, with each new version building on the last. This version adds value by incorporating the Performance Reference Model, further feedback from agencies and a substantial revision of the Business Reference Model. We look forward to further feedback as the reference models are used by agencies for projects and proposals. Agencies are not required to replace their existing frameworks with the AGA. However, for those that do not already have an architecture in place, or have one that is under review, we strongly recommend that you adopt the AGA. A sound architecture framework will support government by providing a useful context for decision- making and help agencies develop capabilities needed for the future. In particular, it will support agencies to operate across traditional boundaries to improve service delivery and deliver more responsive policy implementation. While this version extends the use of Australian examples, there are several US examples, some US terminology and other parts that are yet to be assessed. Their replacement with contemporary Australian examples will continue over time, but at present they have been retained. The framework contains five reference models. In this version, we present the Business Reference ii Model and have also refreshed the Service, Data and Technical Reference Models.

    Register of Significant Architecture RSTCA No: R085 Name of Place: John Gorton Building and former Communications Centre Other/Former Names: Administrative Building, Parkes Address/Location: Parkes Place, corner of King Edward Terrace, Parkes, ACT Block 1 Section 35 of Parkes Listing Status: Registered Other Heritage Listings: CHL, RNE, Part of Parliamentary Vista. Date of Listing: 15 December 1994 Level of Significance: Regional Citation Revision No: 2 Category: Government Citation Revision Date: 1 March 2017 Style: Stripped Classical Dates of Design: 1924, 1946, 1974 Designers: G Sydney Jones/Robertson & Marks, Dept of Interior, Dept of Works & Housing Construction Period: 1947-1956, 1977 Client/Owner/Lessee: Commonwealth of Australia Date of Addition: 1977 Builder: 1947 Concrete Constructions of Sydney STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The John Gorton Building resulted from the winning Academic Classical style design in a 1924 Federal Capital Advisory Committee architectural competition for an administrative building. Only the siting and general layout of that design were followed when the building was redesigned in 1946 in the Inter-War Stripped Classical style and completed in 1956. It is a rare large-scale example of a public office building in that style. Key indicators of the style displayed in the building include: symmetrical facades; divisions into vertical bays indicating classical origins; vestigial classical columns; simple surfaces and spandrels between storeys subdued to emphasize verticality. Good use of light wells allows internal office areas to be well lit by daylight. Design elements which retain a high level of integrity are the exterior, foyer, lift lobbies and central corridors. The former underground Communications Centre, added in 1977, is a unique windowless secure environment for Government activities, with design elements, particularly in the foyer, evocative of the period – a mural, luminous ceilings, bright chrome pillars, curved walls, wall hangings by artist/weavers and plant containers.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction The Parliamentary Zone “The Parliamentary Zone will be given meaning as the Place of the People, accessible to all Australians so that they can more fully understand and appreciate the collective experience and rich diversity of this country.” – National Capital Plan. 1.1 Walter Burley Griffin’s plan for Canberra was designed to reflect the values of an emerging nation1 and includes that which has come to be known as the National Triangle. The southern apex of the triangle, known as the Parliamentary Zone, is described in the National Capital Plan as “the physical manifestation of Australian democratic government and home of the nation's most important cultural and judicial institutions and symbols”.2 The institutions within the Zone represent the Australian people, their values and achievements.3 In general terms, the Parliamentary Zone includes the Parliament House site within Capital Circle and extends to the land lying east of Commonwealth Avenue and west of Kings Avenue to Lake Burley Griffin, and the land south of Lake Burley Griffin lying between the two avenues. 1 National Capital Authority, Consolidated National Capital Plan, February 2002, p 285. 2 National Capital Authority, Consolidated National Capital Plan, February 2002, p 29. 3 John Lauder, Submissions, p 132. 2 1.2 The Parliamentary Zone covers a total area of 1,081,048 square metres, approximately 14 per cent of which is taken up by surface parking and 5.6 per cent of which is taken up by buildings. These buildings include the national institutions which consist of Reconciliation Place, Commonwealth Place, the National Gallery of Australia, the High Court of Australia, the National Science and Technology Centre, Old Parliament House and the National Portrait Gallery, the National Library of Australia and the National Archives of Australia4.

The facility will be located at Wickham Point on the Middle Arm Peninsula adjacent to Darwin Harbour near Darwin, NT. The proposed project will include gas liquefication, storage and marine loading facilities and a dedicated fleet of ships to transport LNG product. A subsea pipeline supplying natural gas from the Bayu-Undan field to Wickham Point and a similar, but smaller 3 MTPA LNG plant were the subject of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment process and received approval from Commonwealth and Northern Territory Environment Ministers during 1998. The environmental assessment of the expanded LNG facility is being conducted at the Public Environmental Report (PER) level of the Northern Territory Environmental Assessment Act and the Commonwealth Environmental Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act. The draft PER describes the expanded LNG facility with particular emphasis on its differences from the previously approved LNG facility and addresses the potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with the project.

I refer to the announcement on 13 February 2015 that the Government is undertaking a scoping study into the divestment options of buildings in the Parliamentary Triangle. 2. How many staff members are involved with this? Has the Department hired additional staff or contractors to conduct this work (aside from the Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Ashurst adviser staff)? If so can the Department provide details of them please – APS level or SES classifications, part-time/full-time, etc. 3. Who are the current tenants of the John Gorton and Treasury buildings, East and West Block, and Anzac Park East and West? 4. Can the Department describe the current arrangements for these buildings – the Commonwealth owns all these buildings, and tenants pay lease costs? Do the lease costs go back to Finance? 5. Can the Department provide the lease costs for all the tenants of these six buildings? When do these leases expire? 6. Given there are the ongoing works in relation to the John Gorton Building – can the Department provide details of the ongoing maintenance and refurbishment requirements and costs for the other five buildings? 7. Is the Department aware of any restrictions on the use of these buildings based on any heritage requirements? 8.

  • Dr Jane Lennon AM
    Submission No. 15 The Secretary Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Re: Inquiry into the administration of the National Memorials Ordinance 1928, the building of memorials of national significance in Canberra. I would like to comment on the issues raised in the terms of reference for your Inquiry. As a preamble however, I’m appalled at the failure of process that has let the current war memorials proposal for Rond Terrace on the north shore of Lake Burley Griffin get to this stage of absurdity when most Australians believe that the Australian War Memorial, one of the early entries on the National Heritage List, is the centre of our national commemoration for all Australian who have served in wars and this is attested to by its continuing high visitation. Australian citizens have since 1974 expected that the Australian Heritage Commission and its successor, the Australian Heritage Council, through their legislative powers would advise government on the protection of the heritage values of places, often the people’s public places. But in this case this has not occurred from my reading of the press reports, and indeed it highlights how the NCA had become a law unto itself seeking to ‘activate’ the foreshores of Lake Burley Griffin by inappropriate developments aimed at increasing tourism. However, the listing of the Parliamentary Vista is only on the Commonwealth Heritage List [see Appendix 1 for its statement of heritage values and cultural significance] rather than the Minister having to exercise the heritage processes of the relevant sections of the EPBC Act as with NHL places.

It is highly significant for its symbolic representation of the democratic interchange between the people and their elected representatives and its use of the natural landforms to generate a strong planning geometry. It expresses a masterly synthesis and ordering of topographical features and administrative functions to meet the needs of a national capital. The vista landscape embraces the central land axis and part of the water axis and most of the Parliamentary Triangle including the area known as the Parliamentary Zone. The significance incorporates Walter Burley Griffin's vision for the area, as the focus of Commonwealth parliamentary and governmental activity as well as national cultural life. This vision has been partly realised and the place is the setting for major, government, judicial and cultural institutions. The northern extent of the vista of Anzac Parade and the Australian War Memorial, despite differing from the original
