Federation :Alk Management Plan Federation Walk Management Plan The Spit, Main Beach Queensland Authored & Edited for the Main Beach Progress Association Inc. by Arnold Wolthers B.Arch. B.Env Design Arnold Wolthers Architects Southport 0475 086 440 Board of Architects of Queensland Registration Number 2857 Federation Walk Nature Reserve First published 2002 Revised 8 th January 2009 Latest Print 7 February 2017 © Arnold Wolthers Architects Arnold Wolthers – Project Architect The Federation Walk Management Plan was prepared and authored by Arnold Wolthers Architects, in 2002 following the construction and completion of the ‘Federation Walk’. Prior to construction of the ‘walk’ the alignment was first surveyed and charted by the author following numerous field reconnaissance trips and traverses to consider trees and vegetation of significance identified for protection and mapped during this exercise. Arnold Wolthers attended the site daily when construction was in progress to ensure the design maintained its integrity and direction. Twenty two detailed design elements were presented along with this Management Plan for future implementation as funds become available. These include an ocean viewing platform, a lookout point, wheelchair access provisions, a skywalk, nodal intersection detailing and entry statements. This Management Plan was presented to City of Gold Coast, and has been referenced and utilised by Council as a resource.

Anthony Courtesy of the GCCC Local Studies Library Southport Acknowledgements This work has been a collaborative effort between many people, who with their determination, dedication and fighting spirit have achieved so much in the short time of three years to make the Federation Walk Management Plan happen. Lyn Wright from the Main Beach Progress Association has galvanized the many participants to ensure that the Spit remains in public custodianship and free from further alienation of public open space; public land that is development free. Gecko Regen under the guidance of Tom Caamano for his assistance with the submission and supported by Gecko’s Travis Beswick and Christel Bryceson for their valuable contribution and expertise in vegetation and regeneration management. The Department of Natural Resources Manager - Land Management and Use Tony Cornelius for his support and especially the contribution and guidance provided by the Department’s Senior Land Officer Terrence Fox, who kept the participants focussed on the objectives and outcomes. The Gold Coast City Council provided support from the Beaches and Waterways Manager Bob Cunningham, John McGrath, Libby Boak and Greg Stuart for their dedication in making the ‘Federation Walk’ a reality. Work for the Dole supervisor Jody Clifford who has kept the project alive, along with the band of faithful volunteers on community planting days. Together we made it happen.

  • Amateur Theatre and the Gold Coast
    RUNNING HEAD: THEATRE ECOLOGY OF THE GOLD COAST OF AUSTRALIA A Place in the Sun: An Exploration of the Theatre Ecology of the Gold Coast of Australia Patrick F. Mitchell M.A., Grad. Dip. T Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Education and Professional Studies Arts, Education and Law Griffith University February 2013 THEATRE ECOLOGY OF THE GOLD COAST OF AUSTRALIA 2 Abstract Background A Place in the Sun explores theatre and its practice in a distinctive Australian regional community, the Gold Coast in the South East corner of Queensland. Theatre in Australian communities, from small regional towns to capital cities has, historically, been the site of a great deal of activity and achievement and this study sought to engage with its contemporary form. This study asked whether there was a local theatre practice, what it comprised, who was involved and why they were so engaged. To facilitate this inquiry, I proposed that the theatre and performance activities of a community be seen as an ecology. The ecological paradigm links the individual elements of theatre-making; the various people, companies and types of performance. Reinforcing this is a paradigm of integration that highlights a relationship that is symbiotic between these elements and the social, cultural and economic environment that they operate in. Using an ecological paradigm allows us to consider the elements of theatre as being involved in constant exchanges that makes all parts of this ecology reliant to some degree on all the other parts. Study Propositions This study was underpinned by two initial guiding propositions.
