ISSUED REVIEW ISSUED BY 5 June 2019 Draft P Jeffery 19 July 2019 Revised draft P Jeffery 86 November 2019 Final amended draft P Jeffery EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Heritage Management Plan has been prepared to assist the Reserve Bank of Australia to continue to conserve and protect the identified Commonwealth Heritage values of its Head Office, 65 Martin Place Sydney NSW 2000. The Head Office building has heritage significance at the Local level and included on the Commonwealth Heritage List in June 2006 for demonstrating the following official Commonwealth values: Criterion A: Processes Criterion B: Rarity Criterion D: Characteristic values Criterion E: Aesthetic characteristics Criterion F: Technical achievement Criterion G: Social value Criterion H: Significant people Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC), as amended, the Reserve Bank of Australia is obliged to prepare a Heritage Management Plan for each of its properties that demonstrate Commonwealth Heritage value. This plan addresses the requirements of Schedule 7A (Regulation 10.03B) of the EPBC Act and be consistent with Commonwealth Heritage management principles. The methodology adopted for use in this report generally follows best practice principles contained in: − The Conservation Plan by Dr James Semple Kerr (7th Edition, 2013) published by the National Trust of Australia (NSW). − Australia ICOMOS Charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Significance (The Burra Charter) 1999. − Management Plans for Places on the Commonwealth Heritage List: a guide for agencies. Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage, November 2006. − Working Together Managing Commonwealth Heritage Places, A guide for Commonwealth Agencies. Commonwealth of Australia 2019. Major Recommendations This Heritage Management Plan confirms the Head Office of the Reserve Bank of Australia demonstrates a range of Commonwealth Heritage values including historical, associative, aesthetic and social values and is important at National, State, and Local levels. The principal heritage significance of the Head Office as physical evidence of the creation of the Reserve Bank of Australia and its separation from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and for its association with successive Governors of the Reserve Bank since 1964. The Head Office has aesthetic significance as an example of Post-World War 2 office buildings in Australia and of the architectural work carried out by the Commonwealth Department of Works Banks and Special Projects Branch. The prominent location of the Reserve Bank of Australia Head Office building at the corner of Martin Place and Macquarie Street contributes to its landmark qualities in forming part of the eastern edge of the Sydney Central Business District. Major recommendations of this report include: − This Heritage Management Plan is accepted as the guiding document for future action to the Head Office of the Reserve Bank of Australia. − The Reserve Bank of Australia is to register this Heritage Management Plan as a legislative instrument on the Federal Register of Legislation (Register) as soon as practicable (section 4 of the Legislation Act 2003) otherwise the agency may not be compliant under the EPBC Act. − The Heritage Management Policies set out in this plan will be accepted and implemented. − The Head Office of the Reserve Bank of Australia will be managed in accordance with Commonwealth Heritage management principles and best practice heritage principles.

This draft Heritage Management Plan was issued in November 2019 for review and comment by the Reserve Bank of Australia. Under Section 341X of the EPBC Act the Reserve Bank of Australia is obliged to review this Plan at least once in every five-year period. This plan should therefore be reviewed no later than November 2024 or earlier if circumstances relating to the site change.

Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

  • Maori in Sydney and the Critical Role They Played in the Success of the Town Has Been Minimised by Historians
    Sydney Journal 3(1) December 2010 ISSN 1835-0151 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/sydney_journal/index Maori Jo Kamira Non-Indigenous written history claims there was no contact between Maori and Koori.1 Despite this, Indigenous lore in Australia tells of contact between the two. In the early days of the colony, trans-Tasman travel was fluid between Sydney and New Zealand for Maori and non-Indigenous people alike. An eighteenth-century map by Daniel Djurberg shows an alternative name for New Holland as 'Ulimaroa'. This was widely believed to be a Maori word for Australia; however there is no L in the Maori alphabet. This may mean it was a Polynesian word, perhaps Hawaiian or Samoan, however it does not explain how the name came into Djurberg's possession. From 1788 to 1840 the colony of New South Wales included New Zealand. The head of state was the monarch, represented by the governor of New South Wales. British sovereignty over New Zealand was not established until 1840, when the Treaty of Waitangi recognised that New Zealand had been an independent territory until then. The Declaration of Independence signed in 1835 by a number of Maori chiefs and formally recognised by the British government indicated that British sovereignty did not extend to New Zealand. This meant the British in Sydney had no option than to deal with Maori, who were still in control of their own land. The history of Maori in Sydney and the critical role they played in the success of the town has been minimised by historians.

On that day two young airmen, Ginty McGinness and Hudson Fysh, fresh from battle in the skies over Palestine less than a year earlier, and driver and handyman, Gorham, set forth in a T-Ford to survey an air-route and landing grounds for competitors in the Great Air Race from England to Australia.

  • Urban Design in Central Sydney 1945–2002: Laissez-Faire and Discretionary Traditions in the Accidental City John Punter
    Progress in Planning 63 (2005) 11–160 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann Urban design in central Sydney 1945–2002: Laissez-Faire and discretionary traditions in the accidental city John Punter School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University, Cardiff CF10 3WA, UK Abstract This paper explores the laissez faire and discretionary traditions adopted for development control in Central Sydney over the last half century. It focuses upon the design dimension of control, and the transition from a largely design agnostic system up until 1988, to the serious pursuit of design excellence by 2000. Six eras of design/development control are identified, consistent with particular market conditions of boom and bust, and with particular political regimes at State and City levels. The constant tensions between State Government and City Council, and the interventions of state advisory committees and development agencies, Tribunals and Courts are explored as the pursuit of design quality moved from being a perceived barrier to economic growth to a pre-requisite for global competitiveness in the pursuit of international investment and tourism. These tensions have given rise to the description of Central Sydney as ‘the Accidental City’. By contrast, the objective of current policy is to consistently achieve ‘the well-mannered and iconic’ in architecture and urban design. Beginning with the regulation of building height by the State in 1912, the Council’s development approval powers have been severely curtailed by State committees and development agencies, by two suspensions of the Council, and more recently (1989) by the establishment of a joint State- Council committee to assess major development applications.
