I j-s rt written in accordance with the study brief as adopted by the steering committee on 15th Aprir 1999 and confirmed by I council on 8th May L989. The study area is the shire of Creswick, Victoria. I This study aims to identify, evaluat,e and document the built T and environmental heritage of the shire of creswick and to place it within the context of the hj_story of victoria, and to assess the importance of the shire r s heri.tage and its I integration into the general planning framework of the shire. I The work was undertaken through detaj-led thematic historical analysis with lnput from 1oca1 hj.storians; site inspections of T the shirers buj-ldlngs, landscape and context; research.Lng council records and mappj-ng resources; researchlng fires of the T Ministry of planning and Environment; and wlth considerable discussi-ons with various local resi.dents. T This report firstly presents a succlnct summary of reconmendatj_ons detaiLed in the study ; then details the I hj-story of Creswick Shire (Section 1.0); fol_lowed by a detailed anarysis of the built heritage of creswick through a proposed. breakdown of Conservati-on Areas into identifiable precincts I (section j-ncl-udj-ng 2.0) , an existing condj_tions survey of 605 buildings (Appendix A - vols 1 & 2l; and concludes with an I assessment of the landscape heritage of creswick and appropriate Landscape planning Guidelines to conserve this I (section 3.0). This report also incrudes proposed. additions to or retention on the Historic Buildings Register or the I Government Buildings Register (schedule one), and, proposed additions to the Register of the National Estate (scheduLe T Two) . I I Surnmary of Recommendations That Planning controls be placed on'Historic Buj-ldings not t on the Register of Historic Buildings ' I That any demolition, alteration or additions to scheduled buildings within designated Heritage Precincts require I permits. That broad guidelines similar to those developed for other I historic shires be developed to guide the administration of these controls for each Heritage Precinct and buildi'ng I type. I That new bulldings within Herltage Precincts be carefully assessed to minimise impact on the character of the area' I That landscape planning guidelines shouLd respect the rural and past mining activities and be concerned with; the siting of buildings or earth works; the design of works; the relationship to existing buildings of landscape elements; bullding elements; landscape works; devel-opment of land for Hobby Farms; on-site waste disposal' That Development controls be developed for particular I indivldual townships or areas for the continuation and retention of their special landscape characteristics. It is recommended that a heritage adviser be apppointed to advise council on building and landscape development control in sensitive areas of heritage significance.

As well the modern-day Creswick reflects additional- and i-mportant social and polit,ical themes. Many of these are registered t in one way or another in the buildings and l_and-use patt,erns stil1 visible in the shire. T Gold mining remains a key force shaping the present appearance of creswick but more especiarly the rater stages of gold I mining through deep lead systems and then through reworking of ord fields have created the shire $re see today. The decrine of t mining coincided with ploneering efforts in woodland management and the forest sci.ences, acti_vities important in the area from the middre of the nineteenth century. The town I of creswick ltself is a model smalr town and the buildlngs express a strong social and community life datlng from the I years after the initial gold rushes. The rai.lways and transport routes through the shire refrect the rinks with a I wider Victoriar €rs does the attempt to create a rocal tourist i-ndustry. Local streams have been dammed and diverted and I their water used for domestic, farming and industrial activities. More recently the shire has had a role as a part of the urban fringe of Ballarat. rn poritical history the area t has had strong connections with earry attempts to organise trade unions and branches of the Australian Labor party. There I are also some rennants of the pre-gord phase of land use in grazing. After the decline of alLuvial gold, creswick became t one part of victoria in which i-ntensive smal_l-scale agriculture hras practised.. As an agriculturar area it stirl has much of the character of successful intensive smarl- T farmi-ng; climate and soi-l gave creswi.ck a stronger base for an agri-cu1tural economy than existed in otd nining areas further T north. T t I t To the north of Ballarat the Dividing Range declines into small-er groups of hi11s. The highest of these rise to where' I occasionally, peaks are dusted by winter snows. These ranges are still forested, Sometimes with native vegetation at other I times with ptanted pine forests. Purther away from these central peaks the hi1ls are bare and rounded with sing1e rows t of cypress or hawthorn running towards each smoothed height.

( Palaeontologist, National 1J1usem·n, JJ:[elboiirne) and Professor TV. N. Benson, B.A., D.Sc. (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealcind.) The Australian graptolite fauna is probably the most complete in the world, certainly in regard to its Ordovician components, a fact clearly appreciated by McCoy. He had ready for the press descriptions and figures of most of the species afterwards described in J amcs Hall's J\fonograph published iu 1865, which may be regarded as the basis of systematic graptolite research, when he received from Hall a proof of his fignres. McCoy immediately conceded him priority and adopted his specific names. Had Hall delayed sending his proof, McCoy wonld certainly have pnblisl1ed his figures and descriptions and his name would have been just as pl'ominent in the literature of graptoliies as Hall's. Com­ menting on "Graptolitcs (Didymograpsus) frutieosus (Hall sp.)," l\IcCoy snys, "this is the first Victorian gmptolitc I ever smv, and, as it was then a new species, I had named it in my .MSS. after J\fr.

  • Avenues of Honour: Location, Assessment and Management of War Memorial Tree Avenues in Australia
    AVENUES OF HONOUR: LOCATION, ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WAR MEMORIAL TREE AVENUES IN AUSTRALIA SARAH COCKERELL A large body of research exists on the topic of war memorials. From ancient to modern times wars have been a part of human history and memorials to battles, hero’s, victory and defeats are common all over the planet. However most investigations into the form and history of war memorials have only focused on completely artificial structures. There are many in depth examinations of sculpture, obelisks, cenotaphs and buildings (Borg 1991, Inglis 1999, McIvor 1994, Richards 1996) but few look at trees or gardens. In the book Sacred Places, memorial avenues are only mentioned as an indigenous novelty and it is suggested that many of the avenues could be considered an accompaniment to existing or planned artificial monuments (Inglis 1999). Such is the number of war memorials in Australia, and overseas, that all studies must be focused but while most have limited themselves to the totally artificial very few have dealt with the organic. MEMORIAL TREES Historically mankind has had a long association with trees. Trees have been valued as the focus of worship or as markers of important sites or landmarks for centuries (Dwyer 1991). Many of these ancient significant trees were not intentionally planted or dedicated but were valued because of their great age or location. As human culture became more sophisticated so did our beliefs about the significance of trees. The tree as a symbol of life and the cycle of life, death and renewal is very common (Hageneder, 2005).

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
