    Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

  • Figure 5.1 Non-Aboriginal Heritage and Historical Archaeology Site Within the Vicinity of the Russell Extension Project Alignment
    Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment Figure 5.1 Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology site within the vicinity of the Russell Extension Project alignment Parsons Brinckerhoff | 2207509A-ENV-REP-008 RevB 43 Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment 5.2.3 Potential impacts Aboriginal heritage The proposed Russell Extension Project alignment has been assessed for its potential to include Aboriginal archaeological and cultural sites. The assessment found that it was unlikely for either archaeological or cultural sites to exist within or in relation to the proposed Russell Extension corridor. The proposed works would therefore not impact upon places of Aboriginal heritage values along this alignment. There are no further requirements for assessment of Aboriginal heritage values for the proposed Russell Extension Project. Adequate environmental management measures would be developed and implemented during the construction of the Project to manage potential impacts to any unexpected Aboriginal heritage item uncovered during construction. Non-Aboriginal heritage and historical archaeology The Project has the potential to have an impact on listed and nominated heritage places and objects along its route. Generally, this would comprise potential impacts on the setting of heritage places and objects, rather than direct impacts on their fabric. These impacts could arise from placing new elements, such as substations, within significant settings of heritage places, or by the stops and shelters or associated infrastructure blocking important views to heritage places along London Circuit, Constitution Avenue or Russell Drive. Overall, the approach taken to the design and development of the Russell Extension Project, based on a detailed understanding of the heritage values of the heritage places along the Project alignment, has contributed positively to an appropriate approach which minimise or avoids heritage impacts.

    • Things to do in Canberra at the Festival Take advantage of the SFOB Courtesy Bus as it will take people to exciting permanent and travelling exhibitions at many of Canberra’s attractions including the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and the National Gallery of Australia precinct once play gets under way. National Gallery of Australia 20 October 2017 – 18 February 2018 A levitating man, a genetically engineered baby, towering giants – welcome to humanity amplified. Featuring uncanny figures with painted silicon skin, glass eyes, human hair and cutting-edge digital art, Hyper Real provokes reflection, fascination, fear and joy. From eerily lifelike sculptures to out- of-this-world virtual reality, this major exhibition charts the evolution of hyperrealism into the 21st century. A compelling chronicle of the cycles of life and our constant need for connection, Hyper Real explores the fundamental question: ‘what makes us human?’ The exhibition presents major works from early American pioneers George Segal, John De Andrea and Duane Hanson, celebrated Australian artists Patricia Piccinini, Ron Mueck and Sam Jinks, international masters Maurizio Cattelan (Italy), Berlinde de Bruyckere (Belgium), Evan Penny (Canada), Sun Yuan and Peng Yu (China) and many more. Hyperrealism, paralleling photorealism in painting, began in the 1960s and 70s when a number of sculptors became interested in a form of sculptural realism based on a vivid and lifelike representation of the human figure. From kinetic sculpture to bio art, this exhibition extends our perception of what constitutes the hyperreal. Tickets are on sale now! More details : nga.gov.au Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters, 15 September 2017 – 25 February 2018 Immerse yourself in the epic saga of the Seven Sisters in this new Aboriginal-led exhibition.
