Many construction projects are complex, take a long time to complete, are expensive and involve a wide range of participants. The successful management of any project, whether large or small, depends for its success on the effective input of all those involved throughout the various stages of the project. Effective team-working is the key to achieving successful project outcomes. -
The Architecture of Scientific Sydney
Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 118 Parts 3 and 4 [Issued March, 1986] pp.181-193 Return to CONTENTS The Architecture of Scientific Sydney Joan Kerr [Paper given at the “Scientific Sydney” Seminar on 18 May, 1985, at History House, Macquarie St., Sydney.] A special building for pure science in Sydney certainly preceded any building for the arts – or even for religious worship – if we allow that Lieutenant William Dawes‟ observatory erected in 1788, a special building and that its purpose was pure science.[1] As might be expected, being erected in the first year of European settlement it was not a particularly impressive edifice. It was made of wood and canvas and consisted of an octagonal quadrant room with a white conical canvas revolving roof nailed to poles containing a shutter for Dawes‟ telescope. The adjacent wooden building, which served as accommodation for Dawes when he stayed there overnight to make evening observations, was used to store the rest of the instruments. It also had a shutter in the roof. A tent-observatory was a common portable building for eighteenth century scientific travellers; indeed, the English portable observatory Dawes was known to have used at Rio on the First Fleet voyage that brought him to Sydney was probably cannibalised for this primitive pioneer structure. The location of Dawes‟ observatory on the firm rock bed at the northern end of Sydney Cove was more impressive. It is now called Dawes Point after our pioneer scientist, but Dawes himself more properly called it „Point Maskelyne‟, after the Astronomer Royal. -

AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE a History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours. -

The overall Project objective is ‘To enhance the resilience of tourism-reliant communities to climate change risks.’ The Project has been designed to achieve two major outcomes as follows: Climate change adaptation mainstreamed into tourism-related policy instruments and public- private partnerships Increase adaptive capacity to climate change and disaster risks of tourism-related communities A key component of the Project is to facilitate Adaptation to Climate Change by tourism operators. A Climate Change Adaptation Small Grants Scheme (the Scheme) has been developed for this purpose and a Call For Proposals (CFP) under this Scheme has been sought commencing July 2016. The Scheme will be open to existing tourism operators within the six identified Tourism Development Areas (TDAs) which have been documented through the Project as follows: (South East Upolu – Saleapaga and Lalomanu, South Upolu – Sataoa and Saanapu, North West Upolo – Manono, Eastern Savaii – Manase, North West Savaii – Falealupo and Satuiatua and South East Savaii – Vailoa and Faaala. The Project has also published ‘Tourism Technical Guidelines for Climate Resilient Practices’ which are available to operators and communities to enhance and support the application of climate change adaptation measures by the tourism industry. -
