Issue No 85. November I, 1959. the RVIA Held an Extraordinary General Issue No 85. November I, 1959. The RVIA held an Extraordinary General Meeting, its first for 36 years, to discuss the National Gallery & Cultural Centre situation (C-S Sep). Kelvin Hall was packed, smoke-filled, and never without a speaker during 2 hours of keen discussion. The meeting, with only 2 dissenters, backed the Institute's Council in pressing, even so late, for a competition. It was also al- most unanimous that the open invitation for photos and credentials is unsatisfactory, and directed Council to discuss better arrangements, even to consider asking all architects not to respond to the Gallery's invitation. Six days later the Federal, RAIA, Council (following Chapter Council decisions) also took the step, of suggesting to members not to respond, or to withdraw their submissions. But many submitted. ¶ Just after the Woollahra Flats case (C-S Sep '59) was finally settled, & the owners of the Yarranabbe This new hotel, the Brighton, at Brighton-le-Sands Gardens project were attempting to purchase neigh- looks east over Botany Bay & the Pacific.

The extension, a new block fronting onto Elizabeth-St, will comprise basement car-parking, ground floor shopping arcade, theatrette and bar, one floor devoted to stor- age rooms and mechanical equipment, one floor (with possibly a second floor) of banqueting rooms and ball room, and four floors of bedrooms, all air con- ditioned and windowless. (Colin P Trapp, arch'ts) ¶ NSW Premier Cahill, shortly before his death, said he hoped to open the Opera House, free of debt, on Australia Day 1963. ¶ An 8-ft ceiling height minimum became law in Vic, arriving unheralded, without controversy, about the quickest achievement of its kind in that State's history.

Once again, the attempts to get Melb's old market sites redeveloped, provided news & argument, after the only lingering tenderer for the Western Market, Underhill Property Investments, persuaded Taylor Woodrow group, London, to acquire its option & to construct the £6m project, but this was negotiated on condition that the 60-year lease be extended to 99 years. Outspoken critics denounced the Council for even toying with the idea of changing the lease conditions without reopening public tendering, but Lord Mayor Evans maintains that only Underhill- Taylor-Woodrow are seriously interested, and that such high-principled formalities would be fruitlessly time & cost consuming, might even lead to missing out altogether. Two parties used the occasion for impressive diversions: the inevitable "syndicate of Hong Kong businessmen" offering to take over, on a 66-year basis, to build flats instead of offices, and the Herald, running a front-page campaign to revive the (not unreasonable) idea of having no building at all, but an open square. Meanwhile the option over the Eastern Market, held by PAA, was quietly extended to December 31. ¶ A new bulk wool store at Nth Geelong was com- pleted.

Even today cross-river ferries play a leading role in getting residents across a wide and fast flowing river. The first bridge over any part of the Brisbane River was a (primarily) wooden one opened in 1865 to carry pedestrians and carts between South and North Brisbane, approximately where the Victoria Bridge is today.1 Made of Stringy Bark it survived termite attacks for only two years, and then it was back to the ferries.

  • Queensland Floods Commission Enquiry
    Queensland Floods Commission Enquiry Emailed to [email protected] A submission submitted by It is an unfortunate situation that so many people did not listen to the official warnings, and as such, suffered a lot more than was necessary because they basically ignored what was being said. Many thought that Wivenhoe Dam would save Brisbane. The lack of understanding was further demonstrated by the fact so many did not even try to save any of their possessions as demonstrated by not moving possessions from the bottom floor to the top floor when it was possible to do so. Another contributing fact is it was 37 years since the last flood and so many new people did not understand what could happen. Besides this anyone under 45 would possibly not remember the last flood if they were living in Brisbane at the time. The unit my mother lives in on the river in New Farm had flood water in the garage area only. I am putting in this submission as I feel I have a plan that could be of great assistance to not only Brisbane but any city or town in Australia as a result of the recent flooding. My proposal covers the following items: 1. Identification of properties in all flood prone areas using an ID for floodwater depths. 2. A simple warning system to alert potential flood victims. 3. Powers to enforce evacuations. 4. An assessment level for flood cover by Insurance companies. Identification of properties in all flood prone areas using an ID for floodwater depths.

  • Eleanor Schonell Bridge
    Value-mapping for major economic infrastructure projects by Judy Ann Kraatz B. Design Studies (Hons) University of Queensland B. Architecture (Hons) University of Queensland A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering School of Urban Development Queensland University of Technology August 2009 Table of Contents This page has been left blank. - ii - Table of Contents Abstract The establishment of corporate objectives regarding economic, environmental, social, and ethical responsibilities, to inform business practice, has been gaining credibility in the business sector since the early 1990’s. This is witnessed through (i) the formation of international forums for sustainable and accountable development, (ii) the emergence of standards, systems, and frameworks to provide common ground for regulatory and corporate dialogue, and (iii) the significant quantum of relevant popular and academic literature in a diverse range of disciplines. How then has this move towards greater corporate responsibility become evident in the provision of major urban infrastructure projects? The gap identified, in both academic literature and industry practice, is a structured and auditable link between corporate intent and project outcomes. Limited literature has been discovered which makes a link between corporate responsibility; project performance indicators (or critical success factors) and major infrastructure provision. This search revealed that a comprehensive mapping framework, from an organisation’s corporate objectives through to intended, anticipated and actual outcomes and impacts has not yet been developed for the delivery of such projects. The research problem thus explored is ‘the need to better identify, map and account for the outcomes, impacts and risks associated with economic, environmental, social and ethical outcomes and impacts which arise from major economic infrastructure projects, both now, and into the future’.

  • Julie Hornibrook Transcript My Project Was Called Building Bridges
    Julie Hornibrook Transcript My project was called building bridges connects Brisbane and my focus was on three iconic bridges; the Hornibrook Highway, the William Jolly Bridge and the Story Bridge, and my grandfather was the builder for each of those bridges. So it was a chance to look into that history and its impact on Brisbane and Queensland. I think the process was a good social action research style in that you started somewhere and you saw where it took you and I found that I really followed a lot of leads because I knew that I had a lot to discover. Through the process of my work it was like joining the dots or putting together pieces of a puzzle and that doesn’t always happen through a linear process. My grandfather was known as ‘MR’ his name was Manuel Richard. When he was about 11 his father died so he left school by the age of 13 and took on an apprenticeship as a carpenter to help support the family so he always had a great sense of responsibility and caring for other people and really giving back to community. He built up the company with his 5 brothers and one sister and together they took on very big projects around Queensland and also the building of the sails of the Opera House in Sydney. MR was described as a big man a strong man and because he was such a problem solver and inventor he always had the belief that he was right. For some people that would have been quite hard to work with but everyone was swept up in a sense of family and great loyalty to him.
