MILLENNIAL URBAN PARK DESIGN IN MELBOURNE AND WELLINGTON: HOW DIVERGENT COLONIAL FOUNDATIONS WITHIN THE TRANS-TASMAN BUBBLE IMPACT LANDSCAPE PRACTICE Brent Greene | RMIT University Fiona Johnson | RMIT University Despite their shared colonial origins, trans-Tasman comparisons of landscape architecture practice between Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are rare. An oft-cited critical point of difference is the respective presence (New Zealand) and absence (Australia) of a treaty with indigenous nations of the land at the time of foundation, a scenario that we argue establishes distinct conceptualisations of urban park design during the 1990s and early 2000s.

  • Soldiers and School Children Military Performances and National Identity During the Prince of Wales’ 1920 Visit to Wellington
    UHPH_14: Landscapes and ecologies of urban and planning history | 463 Soldiers and School Children Military performances and national identity during the Prince of Wales’ 1920 visit to Wellington Christopher McDonald Victoria University of Wellington/University of New South Wales [email protected] Early royal visits to New Zealand were episodes of intense symbolic activity played out on an urban scale. These events are generally understood as affirmations of British identity. However, this paper shows how the Prince of Wales’ 1920 tour of New Zealand was also used to promote the distinct character of the young dominion. The research examines two military performances in Wellington: a review at Newtown Park and a quasi-military parade of school children in parliament grounds. Analysis of these events reveals dual narratives in which New Zealanders both reaffirm their links with the Motherland and acknowledge their own difference. The two sources of identity are found to be compatible but dependent on malleable images. The paper argues that military images and narratives were flexible enough to convey New Zealanders’ “imperial” and “national” allegiances. However, while a dual narrative operated successfully during the “Children’s Day” display, the more conventional military review at Newtown Park failed because it was unable to reconcile the antipodean traits of discipline and vigour. Both performances required a degree of improvisation because Wellington lacked dedicated sites for military ceremonial. The choice of venues contributed to the disparate outcomes of the two events. In parliament grounds, school groups exhibited the health and dynamism of New Zealand’s youth but also reinforced the latent order and unity of New Zealand’s pre-eminent “national” space.

  • Building Name
    Date: 10 December 2013 Botanic Gardens Main Gates and Fence Glenmore Street Image: Googlemaps 2013 Summary of heritage significance • The Botanic Gardens Main Gates are a particularly fine set of Victorian gates and are notable for the quality of their design, materials and workmanship. • These gates are primarily associated with the establishment of the Botanic Gardens which is an area of considerable historic, cultural, and heritage value. The Gardens are associated with a number of important and influential Wellingtonians and New Zealanders. In particular the gates are associated with J.G. MacKenzie the Director of Parks and Gardens who oversaw their construction. The Gates are also associated with the Hospital and the Hospital Board who owned them prior to their installation at the Gardens. • The Botanic Gardens Gates and Fence have an enduring social value as the main entrance to the Botanic Garden, an extremely popular public space in Wellington city. This connection remains today as the Gardens are well patronised throughout the year. 1 Date: 10 December 2013 District Plan: Map 17, reference 17 Legal Description: Pt Lot 1 DP 8530 Heritage Area: Wellington Botanic Gardens Heritage Area HPT Listed: Historic Area, reference 7573 Archaeological Site: Risk Unknown Other Names: - Key physical dates: c. 1878, alterations c.1925 Architect / Builder: City Engineer, Builder: Messrs Hickmott and Sons Former uses: Civic – gates and fence Current uses: Civic – gates and fence Earthquake Prone Status: Unknown at time of writing Extent: Cityview GIS 2013 2 Date: 10 December 2013 1.0 Outline History 1.1 History1 The Founders’ entrance has always been the main entrance to the Wellington Botanic Garden, although it has not always been in the form that it is today.

  • Our Natural Capital
    Our Natural Capital Wellington’s biodiversity strategy and action plan 2015 Cover photo: Juvenile New Zealand fur seal at Frank Kitts Park, Wellington City. The main Wellington seal colony is at Sinclair Head on the edge of Te Kopahau Reserve. This is a “haul out” area for New Zealand fur seals during winter (May–October). Breeding season is November–January. New Zealand fur seals are also seen around Wellington Harbour. When around seals, people are advised to stay at least 10 metres away and to keep their dogs on a lead. New Zealand fur seals – particularly those living near the city – connect people with the natural world and represent the link between the marine and terrestrial environments.
