It addresses a proposal for works at the St Vincent’s Hospital complex comprising the demolition of the existing Aikenhead Wing (the subject site) at 27 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy. This action forms part of a larger action to redevelop the subject site and is preparatory to the proposed new development action. The St Vincent’s Hospital complex is located at the corner of Victoria Parade and Nicholson Street, and is generally bounded by Fitzroy Street to the east and Alma and Gertrude streets to the north. The hospital complex consists of a number of medical research buildings and the main public hospital building (Figure 1). The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens (REB and Carlton Gardens) are located to the west of the hospital complex (on the west side of Nicholson Street, Figure 2). The subject site is not included within the World Heritage Environs Area (WHEA) area of ‘greater sensitivity’ as related to the REB and Carlton Gardens (Figure 3). The site is within the area of ‘lesser sensitivity’ and is in close proximity to the REB and Carlton Gardens and changes to this site could have an associated impact on the recognised values of the World and National heritage place. Accordingly a referral for the demolition of the existing Aikenhead Building is to be lodged with the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE). This Referral Report assesses possible direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the proposed action (demolition) on Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES). While the report describes the associated new development proposed for the site it does not address the impact of that development, which will form a further stage of works and will be the subject of a separate referral. 1.1 Documentation The documentation for the works is at Referral Attachment 1.

LOVELL CHEN 3 ST VINCENTS HOSPITAL 2.1 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act In 2004, the REB and Carlton Gardens was included in the National Heritage List (NHL, Place ID 105708, and Place File 2/11/033/0235) and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (Decision 28 COM 14B.24). A minor boundary modification to include a buffer zone was made to the World Heritage Listing in 2010 (Decision 34 COM 8B.52).1 The proposed action would occur within this buffer zone. Under the EPBC Act, both the World Heritage (WH) and National Heritage (NH) values for the REB are matters of national environmental significance (MNES) (Chapter 2 Part 3 Subdivision A (World Heritage) and AA (National Heritage). Under the EPBC Act, the Minster may decide whether an action is likely to have a significant impact on MNES. The Commonwealth has published guidelines on determining whether an action is likely to have a significant impact on MNES. In this instance, the relevant guideline is 1.1 Significant impact guidelines – matters of national environmental significant (2013). According to the guidelines, the key considerations are: • The environmental context (including sensitivity, value and quality of the environment) • The nature of potential impacts likely to be generated by the action (including intensity, duration, magnitude, and geographic extent) • Whether mitigation measures will avoid or reduce these impacts, and • Taking into consideration the above, whether the impacts of the action are likely to be significant (meaning important, notable or of consequence). 2 The key question is whether there is a real chance or possibility that one or more WH or NH values will be lost, degraded, damaged, or notably altered, modified, obscured or diminished. 3 As examples of actions that are likely to have a significant impact on cultural heritage values of the World Heritage property, the guidelines cite actions that ‘involve construction of buildings or other structures within, adjacent to, or within important sight lines of, a World Heritage property which are inconsistent with relevant values’ or ‘make notable changes to the layout, spaces, form or species composition in a garden, landscape or setting of a World Heritage property which are inconsistent with relevant values’.4 Equivalent examples are also given for National Heritage properties. 5 These considerations are addressed through the discussion of potential impacts at Section 1.1. 1 ‘Royal Exhibition Buildings and Carlton Gardens’ UNESCO World Heritage Centre, https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1131/ accessed 14 June 2021. 2 Australian Government, ‘Significant impact guidelines 1.1: Matters of National Environmental Significance’, 2013, http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/publications/significant-impact-guidelines-11-matters-national-environmental- significance accessed 1 July 2021, p 2, 4. 3 Australian Government, ‘Significant impact guidelines 1.1: Matters of National Environmental Significance’, 2013, http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/publications/significant-impact-guidelines-11-matters-national-environmental- significance accessed 1 July 2021, p 19.

  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

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.

NC1998/015 Federal Court of Australia file no. NSD6104/1998 I have considered this claim for registration against each of the conditions contained in ss 190B and 190C of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The following contains my reasons for the decision on 28 February 2017 to accept this claim for registration pursuant to s 190A of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). Date of reasons: 1 March 2017 ___________________________________ Heidi Evans Delegate of the Native Title Registrar pursuant to sections 190, 190A, 190B, 190C, 190D of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) under an instrument of delegation dated 20 November 2015 and made pursuant to s 99 of the Act. Shared country, shared future. Reasons for decision Introduction [1] This document sets out my reasons, as the delegate of the Native Title Registrar (the Registrar), for the decision to accept the claim for registration pursuant to s 190A of the Act. [2] The Registrar of the Federal Court of Australia (the Court) gave a copy of the amended Gumbaynggirr People claimant application to the Registrar on 7 November 2016 pursuant to s 64(4) of the Act. This has triggered the Registrar’s duty to consider the claim made in the application under s 190A of the Act. [3] I am satisfied that neither subsection 190A(1A) nor subsection 190A(6A) apply to this claim. This is because the application was not amended as the result of an order of the Court, nor do the nature of the particular amendments to the application fall within the scope of s 190A(6A)(d).

  • 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.

  • Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition
    ‘Pleasure of a High Order:’ Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney’s 1879 International Exhibition Roslyn Maguire As Sydney’s mighty Exhibition building took shape, looking to the harbour from an elevated site above the Botanic Gardens, anxiety and excitement mounted. This was to be the first International Exhibition held outside Europe or America and musical entertainment was to be its greatest attraction.1 An average of three thousand people would attend each week day and as recent studies have shown, Sydney’s International Exhibition helped initiate reforms to education, town planning, technologies, photography, manufacturing and patronage of the arts, music and literature.2 Although under construction since January 1879, it was mid May before the Exhibition’s influential Executive Commissioner Patrick Jennings3 announced the appointment of his friend, Milanese composer Paolo Giorza4 as musical director: [H]is credentials are of such a nature both as a conductor, composer and artist, that I could not justly pass them over. I think that he should also be authorised to compose a march and cantata for the opening ceremony … Signor Giorza offers to give his exclusive services as composer and director and performer on the organ and to organise a competent orchestra of local artists for promenade concerts, and to conduct the same.5 The extent of Jennings’s personal interest in Exhibition music is evident in this report publicising Giorza’s appointment. It amounts to one of the colony’s most interesting cultural documents for the ideas, attitudes and objectives it reveals, including consideration of whether an ‘Australian School of Music, as distinguished from any of the well-defined schools’ existed.

  • St Vincent Place East (South Melbourne) – H0441
    Port Phillip Heritage Review 6.32 St Vincent Place East (South Melbourne) – H0441 Existing Designations: Heritage Council Register: nil National Estate Register: nil National Trust Register: nil Previous Heritage Studies: Conservation Study 1975: Precincts 3 and 6 (part) Conservation Study 1987: UC1: Precinct C Heritage Review 2000: HO3 (part) 6.32.1 History The residential estate known as St Vincent Place was created in 1854 as an extension to the original Emerald Hill town plan, which had been laid out two years earlier. Its striking design, attributed to Andrew Clarke (then Surveyor-General of Victoria), was based on the traditional Circus or Crescent developments of Georgian London, where housing was laid out in a curve around a central public reserve. Clarke’s original scheme, as depicted on an 1855 survey map, proposed a rectangular estate with curved ends, defined by Park Street, Howe Crescent, Bridport Street and Merton Crescent. It comprised two concentric rows of residential allotments with a laneway between, enclosing an open space with two small elliptical reserves flanking a longer round-ended reserve, the latter with indications of landscaping and a network of curved pathways. This grand scheme, however, was not realised at that time, and would subsequently be revised when it was decided to run the new St Kilda railway line parallel to Ferrars Street, which effectively split the proposed St Vincent Place estate into two parts. A revised design, prepared by Clement Hodgkinson in 1857, proposed the development of each portion as a discrete subdivision. The smaller eastern portion, east of the new railway line, became a stand-alone estate with two streets that curved around a central semi-circular reserve alongside the railway cutting.
