Open House Melbourne Explores Our Virtual City MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 11 June Open House Melbourne explores our virtual city Open House Melbourne will present the largest collection of virtual tours in Australia by allowing visitors to tour over fifty buildings across Melbourne from the comfort of their own home. Virtual tours will feature an inside-look into buildings not otherwise accessible to the public, such as Parliament House, the Melbourne School of Design’s Glyn Davis Building and the FAB9 Makerspace among others. Pictured from L-R: Parliament House, Melbourne School of Design’s Glyn Davis Building, FAB9 Makerspace. In the lead-up to the virtual Weekend announced for the 25th and 26th July, digitising these significant spaces in a time where physical movement is limited means that the 2020 program will provide an exciting opportunity to celebrate one of the world’s most liveable cities and explore our city like never before. To do this, Open House Melbourne has partnered with PHORIA, an award-winning immersive tech studio based in Melbourne, Australia. PHORIA extends human experiences with cutting-edge spatial technologies, and owns the leading platform for Virtual Tour management, CAPTUR3D. The homegrown start-up is known for their work in several local and international projects such as Antecedent, the AR experience of internationally acclaimed Empire by RONE, as well as REWILD Our Planet – an AR gameplay that showcases the Earth’s vulnerability through innovative storytelling which recently won a highly coveted Webby Award. As the leading platform for virtual tour creation, PHORIA has aligned with Open House Melbourne to capture many treasured sites across the city that will engage new audiences from not only across Melbourne – but around the world. While virtual tour experiences are a major focus of the 2020 digital program, the month of July will kick-off with key programs including annual highlights like the Speaker Series set for Wednesday 1 July and the Heritage Address that will be delivered by Stuart Harrison, host of Restoration Australia on ABC that will go live on Wednesday 15 July. Both key programs will be made available online via the website as detailed below. 2020 SPEAKER SERIES Presented by Open House Melbourne and the ARBV, this annual talk marks the beginning of Open House Melbourne’s ‘month of architecture’ and presents a diverse cross-section of design disciplines and building typologies that make up the built fabric of Melbourne. The projects discussed range from new approaches to grandstands, to sustainable heritage, from innovative public squares to the stand alone house. This is a rare opportunity to hear from experts on the design process behind the built outcome. Confirmed speakers include: ● Jeffery Copolov – Director, Bates Smart. Presenting: Victoria Racing Club ● Anne-Marie Treweeke – Practice Principal, Lovell Chen. Presenting: University of Melbourne Old Quad ● Adrian Stanic – Director, Lyons. Presenting: Prahran Square ● Ruth Wilson – Principal, Architectus. Presenting: State Library Redevelopment MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 11 June ● Mel Bright – Director, Studio Bright. Presenting: Ruckers Hill house 2020 HERITAGE ADDRESS WITH STUART HARRISON Presented by Open House Melbourne and the Heritage Council of Victoria, this year’s 2020 Heritage Address proudly welcomes Australian architect and host of Restoration Australia, Stuart Harrison, who will be exploring themes of heritage and design advocacy featured in the show from previous seasons as well as the upcoming series yet to be aired. Harrison is an advocate for good design and the re-use of buildings and believes in a strong link between history and contemporary practice. This annual talk is a fundamental part of the OHM ‘month of architecture’ and a highlight event for many attendees. Previous years have included celebrated architect Kerstin Thompson and Modernist lover / comedian Tim Ross. For 2020, OHM works with HCV to engage one speaker to deliver an in-depth presentation about a recent project/s significant to Victoria, featuring important conservation work. Open House Melbourne is an independent organisation that fosters public appreciation for architecture and public engagement in design in the built environment. We exist because we believe a more engaged public will result in better design outcomes for our buildings, our streets and our cities. We are registered as a charity (as Melbourne Open House Inc) with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission ABN 68295482310, we are part of the Open House Worldwide network, and we are an initiative of the Committee for Melbourne Future Focus Leadership Program.

    PLANNING PANELS VICTORIA Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C365 Heritage Overlay HO1205 Subject Site: “Chart House”, No. 372 - 378 Little Bourke Street Melbourne Expert Heritage Evidence Prepared for Berjaya Developments Pty Ltd By Robyn Riddett Director Anthemion Consultancies POB18183 Collins Street East Melbourne 8003 Tel. +61 3 9495 6389 Email: [email protected] December 2019 “Chart House” No. 372 - 378 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne 1.0 Introduction 1. I have been instructed by Best Hooper, on behalf of Berjaya Developments Pty Ltd, to prepare expert heritage evidence which addresses the heritage aspects of the proposal to grade the site as “Contibutory”, as a consequence of the Guildford and Hardware Laneways Heritage Study prepared by Lovell Chen in May 2017, as a consequence of Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C365. 2. The previous Property Schedule included in the Guildford & Hardware Laneways Precinct Citation graded the building as Contributory. In effect it graded the east wall abutting Niagara Lane but not the façade addressing Little Bourke Street which Lovell Chen had indicated was not of any significance. Subsequently the Amendment C271 Panel recommended that “Chart House” be included within HO1205 with a Non-contributory grading. When HO1205 came into effect on 12 August 2019, No. 372 – 378 Little Bourke Street was included within HO1205 but with a Contributory, rather than with a Non- contributory grading and on an interim basis as a consequence of Amendment C355melb. This change in grading appears to have been influenced by correspondence from Melbourne Heritage Action which put forward new information about “Chart House”. It is now proposed, as a consequence of Amendment C365melb, to include No.
