  • PLANNING PANELS VICTORIA Expert Heritage Evidence
    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.

  • Architecture Creating Connections Recognised in 2020 Victorian Architecture Awards Shortlist
    Architecture creating connections recognised in 2020 Victorian Architecture Awards shortlist The best of Victoria’s architecture, showcasing the immense value architects add when embedded end to end in a project, has been revealed with the release today of the 2020 Victorian Architecture Awards shortlist. The awards program, run by the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, features a shortlist recognising architecture in the public realm, residential sector, regional areas, embedded sustainability and much more. Spread across 14 categories, 108 entries have made the shortlist which encompasses 76 individual projects. Victorian Chapter President Amy Muir says the shortlisted projects define the significant role that quality built outcomes have in creating sustainable, resilient buildings that can endure for generations. The selected projects go beyond the parameters of the brief to deliver compelling results. ‘This year’s shortlisted projects are exemplars of the outcomes that can be achieved when architects are engaged in the entire process, resulting in a strong collaboration between client, consultants and contracted builders,’ said Ms Muir. ‘These projects are leading examples of how architects elevate quality through carefully considered outcomes in the building process. The selected projects create a lasting legacy that enable architecture to be accessed more broadly throughout the community. ‘During these strange times we are thrilled to celebrate architecture that continues to challenge the status quo.

    Page 1 of 20 Report to the Future Melbourne (Finance and Governance) Agenda item 6.4 Committee Proposed Ticket Price Increase for Melbourne International Flower and 16 October 2018 Garden Show (MIFGS) Presenter: Katrina McKenzie, Director City Economy and Activation Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is for the Future Melbourne Committee (FMC) to consider a proposed increase to the maximum daily charge for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS) held in Carlton Gardens. 2. The Melbourne Parks and Gardens (Joint Trustee Reserves) Regulations 1994 (Regulations) sets out conditions for using Carlton Gardens for a horticultural exhibition (Attachment 2). The Regulations are made under section 13 of the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 by the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change and Melbourne City Council as trustee, with the approval of the Governor in Council. 3. The horticultural exhibition referred to in the Regulations is MIFGS, owned by the Flower and Garden Show Limited (FGSL). 4. The Regulations currently stipulate, amongst other things, that the maximum daily charge for a horticultural exhibition in Carlton Gardens cannot exceed $29.90 per person. The process to amend the Regulations first requires a Council resolution in support followed by, amongst other steps, approval from the Governor in Council and for the new Regulations to then be published in the Victoria Government Gazette. 5. Council last resolved to increase the maximum daily charge from $20 to $30 per person (over a period of time) in May 2011 (Attachment 3). 6. FGSL have approached management wanting to amend the Regulations by increasing the maximum daily charge from $29.90 to $40, to allow FGSL to gradually increase the ticket price over the next five years.
