City of Vincent 244 Vincent Street LEEDERVILLE WA 6007 Dear Ms di Perna NO. 31 (LOT 74) SMITH STREET, HIGHGATE - PROPOSED ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO EXISTING CHURCH HALL Urbanista Town Planning is pleased to submit the following Development Application and associated planning report on behalf of the Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint Sava at 31 Smith Street, Highgate. The purpose of the planning report is to assist the City with its determination of the Development Application. Introduction The Serbian Orthodox Church is recognised by the Heritage Council of Western Australia as a place of significant historic, cultural and aesthetic value and its contribution to the cultural identity of the Serbian community in Western Australia was formalised in 2001 with the listing of the Church and associated church hail to the State Heritage Register. The Development Application relates to proposed works to the church hall which is situated at the rear of the site. The proposed works include improvements to the building and its amenity areas, including the addition of a second storey to accommodate two offices, a classroom and library area. This report provides an overview of the proposed works in accordance with the City of Vincent Town Planning Scheme, associated planning policies and relevant State assessment tools. I particularly note Local Planning Policy 7.6.7, which allows the City to waive development application fees to heritage listed properties. We respectfully request that the City apply its policy provision in this instance and waive any application fees associated with this application. 3 Normaiihy RoaU.

The built form of the area is diverse and varied, with examples of development from the early 20th century to more recent contemporary homes. The site is zoned Residential R80 and the lot is 1,239sq.m in size. A place of worship and multi- functional Church hall exist on the site. The church hall is used for activities incidental to the place of worship including a Sunday school for children and administration for the Parish Priest. The primary building on them site is Serbian Orthodox Church of St Sava, which is setback at a distance of approximately 8m from Smith Street. The Church rises slightly as it extends to the centre of the site in response to the lay of the land, which illustrates a change in the natural topography of approximately 1.5m. No additional uses are being proposed as part of these works. The building will be refurbished and increased in size so that the current activities and functions provided can be improved. The Serbian Orthodox Church of St Sava is highly symbolic to the Serbian community of Western Australia as a place of worship, tradition and culture. In recognition of its value to the Serbian community, as well as its unique physical attributes, the Heritage Council of Western Australia in 2001 listed the Church and Church hail on the State Heritage List. This report is submitted to assist the City of Vincent in its determination of the development application for works to the Church hail building. The report provides context in support the proposal in accordance with Division 2 of the City's Town Planning Scheme relating to development on places of cultural heritage significance. : .. (' .'-. I Figure 1: Aerial photo of No. 31 Smith St, Highgate Attachment 3 /CC U R B A N I S T A T 0 W N P L A N N I N 0 The Serbian Orthodox Church of St Sava and Church Hall The Serbian Orthodox Church was completed in 1954 by Serbian migrants to Australia following the Second World War. The Church was constructed by donations made by the Serbian community and named St Sava (1174-1236), in recognition of the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The Church signifies the important connection between the Serbian community and its Orthodox faith and represents the hard work and contribution made by Serbian migrants for the benefit future generations of Serbian people arriving to Australia. The Church is historically notable as the first Serbian Orthodox Church built in Western Australia and the second Serbian Orthodox Church built in Australia. In addition to this, it was the second Orthodox Church built in the State after the Greek Orthodox Church in Northbridge in the 1930's. The Heritage Council evaluates the Church to be an outstanding example of an Orthodox Church built in the post-World War Two period. It defines the aesthetic quality of the Church as follows: The Serbian Orthodox Church of St Sava is a fine example of the Post-War Ecclesiastical architectural style The distinctive curved form of the church, with its domed roof and stark white walls, set in landscaped gardens featuring a symmetrical arrangement of palm trees, concrete paths, green lawns, white masonry fence and boundary planting of conifers and shrubs, has an overall aesthetic quality that is both visually pleasing and peaceful. Serbian Orthodox Church, which is characterised by its traditional dome roof, high walls and giant orthodox cross. In addition, the Church hail building is referred to by the Heritage Council as a Sunday school which was constructed in 1962. The building is not significant from an aesthetic perspective but does combine with the Church to contribute to the social and cultural value provided to the community. The Church hall is described by the Heritage Council as follows: The Sunday school is situated to the western side of the church, constructed in 1962 of light coloured brick with a concrete tiled roof. Concrete steps lead to the entry of the Sunday school which is opposite, and in line with, the entry to the church. The façade is symmetrically designed with timber framed windows flanking the entry door. The building comprises an open hail, kitchen, office, and toilets. There are additions on the northern and western sides of the building including a covered area with sliding glass doors that open to the lawn areas on the western side of the site. The Sunday school building is a utilitarian structure of no particular architectural style. ) Normariby Road, Inglewood WA 6052 I adniiii©urbanistapIannng.corn.au I www.urbanstaplanning.com.au Attachment 3 REC U R B A N I S T A TOWN PLANNING bilf. All V All Figure 1: Serbian Orthodox Church as viewed from Smith St (left) and from the rear of the building (right). Proposed Works The works which are proposed as part of this application relate only to Church hail. The works which are proposed to the building will improve the presentation of the building and the standard of amenities for visitors. The most substantial works form part of the second storey addition which is proposed at the rear of the site. The second storey floor space will improve the function of the Church hail area by enhancing its ability to provide a comfortable level of service to community members. A dedicated classroom and library area will create a better learning environment for students. The works proposed are listed below: • internal refurbishment of ground floor to include the relocation of the kitchen area and store room from the western side of the building to the northern side. This results in a minor increase of floor area to the ground floor; • Men's toilets upgraded and amended so that they can be accessed internally. The toilets are currently only accessed from outside the building; • The inclusion of a Unisex Acrod toilet in accordance with the National Building Code; • The construction of a second storey, comprising of a class room, library, two offices and associated toilet areas. This extension adds a total of 164sq.m of floor area to the building. Heritage Impact and Design Statement The plans for the proposed alterations and second storey addition to the Church hail were guided three objectives which helped to inform the design process. These objectives include the need to for the building to provide standards which satisfy current building code requirements, additions to the upper floor to facilitate the orderly function of Church administration and student learning experience and the / Attachment 3 U R B A N I S T A T 0 W N P L A N N I N 0 careful integration of any new works to the building to ensure they are compatible with the Church and its heritage elements. To ensure that the works respect and serve to enhance the qualities of the Church building, the second storey addition has been proposed to the rear of the site in order to address any perceived impact in relation to bulk, height and scale. The second storey is not visible from Smith Street or in the area in front of the Church hall. This ensures that the two buildings maintain their existing relationship with respect to the height and bulk. The colours, materials and finishes which have been selected allow the building to generate interest and articulation for visual amenity in a mannerism which is modest and respectful of the Church.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Places of Reconciliation and Contestation: the Reconstruction and Protection of Serbian Orthodox Religious Sites in Kosovo Bianc
    Places of Reconciliation and Contestation: The Reconstruction and Protection of Serbian Orthodox Religious Sites in Kosovo Bianca Maier 3770427 Utrecht University 30 July 2012 A Thesis submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Conflict Studies & Human Rights Name of Supervisor: Dr. Jolle Demmers Date of Submission: 30 July 2012 Programme trajectory followed: Internship (15 ECTS), Research and Thesis Writing (15 ECTS) Word Count: 14,894 words Abstract This thesis seeks to contribute to a stronger engagement with the spatial dimension of peacebuilding and reconciliation. Providing a culturally-geographic approach to the placemaking activities in contemporary Kosovo, it analyses the reconstruction and physical as well as legal protection of Serbian Orthodox religious sites with regard to their limits and challenges in producing a reconciliatory sense of place. Telling the story of exemplary churches and monasteries, it addresses the influencing factors of scale and timing, accessibility, public awareness, history, demography and personal attitude. Eventually, the thesis advocates a people-centred and interactional approach to reconstruction and protection, suggesting that enlivenment and exchange may provide the missing link between physical and societal transformations.

  • New Churches in the Cities of Serbia and Site Selection for Their Construction
    PRACE GEOGRAfICzNE, zeszyt 137 Instytut Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej UJ Kraków 2014, 37 – 49 doi : 10.4467/20833113PG.14.008.2153 New churches iN the cities of serbia aNd site selectioN for their coNstructioN Milan Spasojević, Milica Milojević Abstract : New church construction in the cities of Serbia in the last 25 years is a consequence of restrictions and the marginalisation of religion during the pre-1989 socialist period. In the period from 1945 to 1989, almost no new churches were built, and urban planners in Serbia have not developed appropriate selection criteria for the location of new religious buildings. Religious buildings built in the period after 1990 were built on sites that were selected ad hoc without considering the needs of believers and churches. In the last 25 years, more than 400 churches have been built in rural areas and cities, which influenced the reshaping of the cultural landscape. In this paper, attention is given to determining the required number of churches, their location, and the distribution of the urban structure in relation to various relevant factors. The specific spatial organisation of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the homeland and in the diaspora is emphasized. Keywords : Serbian Orthodox Church, new church construction, church location, religious tourism, religious landscape introduction Since the 1990s the Serbian Orthodox Church ( S O C ) has erected and/or restored about 500 churches and monasteries. Despite the current economic crisis, church building has experienced a renaissance in recent decades in all areas where the Orthodox Church has its own eparchy – Montenegro, Republic of Srpska, Western European countries, North America and Australia.

ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF ALEKSANDAR DEROKO – BEAUTY OF EMOTIONAL CREATIVITY A B S T R A C T This paper studies significant and forgotten, but not less important, built and unrealised designs by Serbian architect Aleksandar Deroko. It seeks to achieve a continuous view in dealing with Deroko`s architectural work versus the historical discontinuity of political, territorial-geographic and social circumstances. It is impossible to separate Deroko as an architect from Deroko as a scholar, researcher, historian of architecture and art, an academic professor, painter, artist, writer, chronicler of his time, protector, conservator and historiographer of Serbian cultural heritage. The main aim of this paper is to apply comprehensive research approach within which his work in the field of architectural design will be considered in a complementary and pluralistic way. Deroko’s architectural projects examined in their details and altogether represent distillate of Deroko’s erudite personality, which casts shadow on relevant questions of Serbian history of architecture placement: How to understand it, observe and examine it, from Yugoslav or Serbian perspective, from the position of continuity or discontinuity, through characteristics of general or particular?

SUBMITTED TO THE BOSTON COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NARRATIVE AND NATIONHOOD: THE BATTLE OF KOSOVO By: Anna Ringheiser HONORS THESIS MAY 2018 ADVISOR: PROFESSOR ALI BANUAZIZI 2 ABSTRACT: This thesis explores the centrality of myth in the master narrative of Serbian ethno-nationalism that erupted in the late 1980s through the 1990s. By looking at Serbian folk epics depicting the battle of Kosovo, this thesis examines the role of myth as a part of Serbian identity and culture. The way the myth of the battle of Kosovo is remembered is a way of reconstructing the past through using themes in the myth to manipulate public memory and political consciousness. This thesis shows that while myth represents a key construction of a master national narrative, the narrative does not represent the stories of all members of the nation. The theoretical and official “history” of a nation is separate from the lived history of individuals. The last chapter uses gender as a lens to examine the master national stemming from the Kosovo myth, showing how the national master narrative connects to the “myth of the all pervasive patriarchy” in how history is understood. The last chapter also shows how the themes of nationalism in the myth of Kosovo did not only exist on a theoretical gendered level, but in how state actors controlled or attempted to control women’s bodies as part of the nationalist project.
