INTRODUCTION The New CBD School project aims to deliver a vertical learning environment for Years 8 to 12 in its unique parkland setting. The school will cater for 1250 students and associated education staff will inhabit a contemporary learning environment. The design will breathe new life into the existing Reid Building (North Building), as a symbolic foundation building within its new site along with an additional building South and connecting activated atrium. The project scope includes total refurbishment to the North Building. In addition, the project will include a new central atrium and adjoining South Building that will serve as a new community heart and innovative learning environments for the school, providing new space and place typologies and accommodation expansion to the current campus facilities. This DAC submission document will capture and communicate the design principles and proposed scope of building, urban and landscape works for the New CBD School project that are proposed within the site of the current Reid building. In addition to this the team has defined additional aspirations for the project that extend beyond the site boundary that will be subject to further discussion and agreement with precinct stakeholders. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1: THE SITE & REID BUILDING The site is located on Frome Road, Adelaide South Australia. This site is also known as Tainmundilla or Park 11A. Historically this portion of land has been named Tainmundilla/ Frome Road and Park 11A which encompasses land surrounded by the River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri, Hackney Road, North Terrace and Frome Road. New CBD School | DAC Submission | 2016 page 3 DAC SUBMISSION Arising from Light’s plan, Tainmundilla/Frome Road Park/Park 11A consists of a semi-rectangular block of land bounded by Frome Road, Botanic Park, Adelaide Botanic Garden, University of Adelaide, University of South Australia and Adelaide City Council managed lands. Early records from the 1800’s depict specific references to Kaurna sites or Aboriginal activities within and around Tainmundilla/Frome Road Park/Park 11A. Areas around and within the Adelaide Zoological Gardens, Botanic Garden and Botanic Park were occupied for the site of camps and corroborees as the area retained much of its original vegetation. This was unlike other parts of the Adelaide plains where the vegetation removal process occurred. From a master plan perspective, the evolution of this site has been constant from the late 1800’s until present day. • 1859 - The first building to be erected on this site was the Exhibition Building • 1895 - The last agricultural show was held within the building and grounds • 1919 – The redundant Exhibition Building was an isolation hospital during the great influenza epidemic. • 1930’s - The land was used as a recreation ground by the Adelaide Technical High School. • 1939-45 – The land was used as a military storage yard • 1950 – Buildings on the site were used for a Motor Trade School • 1957 – The balance of the land was dedicated to the School of Mines & Industries • 1968 – The Reid Building was erected, designed and built by Frank Colin Hassell for the South Australian Institute of Technology • 1968 –The remaining area was redirected as a Hospital Reserve following the transfer of the Automotive Trade School to Kilkenny. • 2005 – Taylor Culity Lethlean were contracted to provide concept designs for the development of Tainmundilla/ Frome Road and Park 11A for the Adelaide Botanic Garden. The design sought to reinforce a hypothetical axial line first proposed by architect Walter Bagot in the 1920s when he designed the Barr Smith Library and the lower campus of the University of Adelaide.

The building would be purchased along with surrounding land from the University of South Australia. Nestled between Adelaide’s prized parklands and gardens – the Botanic Garden, Adelaide Zoological Gardens and Botanic Park, the six storey Reid building on the east side of Frome Road will form one part of the redeveloped site. The Reid Building, now known as Elevate North, is significantly under the briefed area and requires expansion to achieve the functional area requirements. The new building, Elevate South, and the adjoining atrium will allow the refurbished Elevate North to comply with the DECD brief, vision and pedagogy. The intention is to seamlessly integrate a contemporary and iconic façade into the existing attributes of Elevate North. This new façade will complement the original 1960’s architecture thus providing a new character marrying the old and the new.

DESIGN STATEMENT 3.1 ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION & DESIGN PHILOSOPHY PROJECT VISION The New CBD School, the first vertical school in South Australia, will set a new benchmark in the physical form, design and function of a contemporary school, as well as the quality and range of the learning experiences and opportunities that it generates for students. In particular, the school will be an active platform to develop and showcase advances in teaching and learning in the STEM disciplines. The school’s operation will be characterised by the development of co-operative relationships with adjacent key educational, cultural and civic institutions to enrich the possibilities available to teachers and students, equally the school’s facilities and prized location will be accessible to the wider community. In this way the school will serve as a valuable asset contributing actively to this important city precinct. Conceived as a transformational place and emphasising pedagogy built around enquiry, discovery, collaboration and applied knowledge, the school will be a unique facility optimising the opportunities this physical and educational typology offers to both teachers and students. As a project, the New CBD School has considerable goals. One of its fundamental purposes is to breathe new life into the existing Reid Building (North Building), and deliver a symbolic foundation building on its site. The new building, Elevate South and connected activated atrium, will tie the Town Square to the existing University Education Precinct. The project scope includes considerable refurbishment to the North Building from the basement to the upper levels. The inclusion of a new central atrium and adjoining South Building will serve as a new community heart and provide innovative learning environments for the school. We have developed a series of key design principles to bring together the education vision, built form and space opportunities: PART OF AN EDUCATION PRECINCT The school site location in the NE corner of the city on the edge of the built CBD edge and the Botanic Garden, Park land and Botanic Park. The new school is adjacent the Adelaide Park Lands, Botanic Gardens, Zoo and University Precinct - • Showcase for South Australian Education • Connection to other institutions in the Precinct • Touch down point for education precinct • Spaces to encourage community engagement NEW SCHOOL IDENTITY AND ADDRESS The school presence on Frome Road and the surrounding parkland precinct is an opportunity to create a strong identity and represent the starting point of the legacy for the school community - • Create a public and civic identity to Frome Road with a town square and main entry to the school. • New Town Square and front door on Frome Road to welcome the school community • Civic quality to forecourt and educational buildings on a ‘plinth’ • Plinth providing secure line with 1.5m level change • Building form to project the identity of the school, continuous veil integrates new and existing as one built form reflecting STEM focus New CBD School | DAC Submission | 2016 page 7 DAC SUBMISSION CONTEMPORARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT The aspiration for the

    The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol.37, pp.171−188, 2011 １７１ Industry Policies of the South Australian Government† Koshiro Ota Hiroshima Shudo University 1. Introduction Australia is a country rich in minerals and land. According to the Department of Foreign Af- fairs and Trade (DFAT) (2010), Australia’s major merchandise exports in 2010 were minerals (30.1%), fuels (28.8%), gold (6.2%), and processed and unprocessed food (10.6%; the figures in parentheses are shares in total export value). This trade structure is the reason Australia is often called a ‘lucky state’. However, manufactured goods composed 14.7% of total merchandise export value, and elaborately transformed manufactures, such as pharmaceutical products, machinery for specialised industries, and road motor vehicles and parts, composed more than 60% of the total manufactured goods export value. Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia with population of 1.2 million, traditionally has a strong manufacturing sector. The 2006 Census showed that its em- ployment rate in the manufacturing sector was the highest of all capital cities at 15%. However, the reduction of tariffs on imported goods has exposed the manufacturing industries in Adelaide to severe international competition,1) and led to the reduction or discontinuation of pro- duction. Recently, the strong Australian dollar has further challenged manufacturing companies (hereafter, we denote the Australian dollar (or A$) simply as the dollar (or $) unless special men- tion is needed). According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (2011), ‘South Australia’s manufacturing industry showed negative growth in both employment and production between 2000 −01 and 2009−10’.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.

    4.0 THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE MEDIA It is now timely to sample the principal sources of information essential to developing an understanding of the Mediterranean from its weather patterns and climate onwards to demonstrate how different areas of study have been isolated, enmeshed, ravelled and unravelled into a cloth of interdependent threads of ideas that give form to our insight into the nature of things Mediterranean. Within the time frame established in this paper, the study of the Mediterranean in many of its aspects reached high into the realms of scholarship and at the same time penetrated public consciousness, both academic and popular interest being permitted by the advent in the early 19th century of the means of mass communication. Hence the following survey was made possible and accessible at this distance. 4.1 The Mediterranean climate type The pervasive nature of Mediterranean consciousness throughout Anglo- European societies following the Napoleonic Wars was, perhaps, more penetrating than might presently be appreciated. Since that era things have moved on and concepts and theories relating to matters Mediterranean have been cast aside or at least long forgotten. One of the most potent ideas of the day was that of ‘climatography’ – the idea that the air, or climate, possessed some specific quality, by virtue of which it directly cured disease. In an age where medical cures based on pharmaceutical treatments or prophylaxis (vaccination) were found to be unresponsive to conditions caused by invasion by micro-organism such as respiratory disorders medical scientists reverted to natural therapies to find cures. The reasons for this reversion are hardly important here but relate to a malaise in the medical profession brought on by the impact of apparently intractable chronic endemic diseases such as bronchitis and pulmonary consumption.

  • 4. Goyder Park
    4. Goyder Park Goyder Park is all that remains of Goyder’s Camp and is significant as the first European settlement in Palmerston from which would grow the modern city of Darwin. George Woodroffe Goyder, Surveyor General of South Australia, landed at an area between Fort Hill and the Darwin escarpment on 5 February 1869. From this location Goyder’s party surveyed the city that would become Darwin and eight other townships along Northern Territory waterways between February and September. Following Goyder’s departure in September 1869, the camp was occupied for many years during the early settlement and expansion of Darwin. The area is significant as the landing point for the submarine telegraph cable between Java and Darwin that linked Australia to rest of the world in 1871 arising from construction of the overland telegraph line. It is also significant because of its connection, both physical and visual via Hughes Avenue, to buildings on the escarpment above. History1 Discovery of Darwin – Stokes and the Beagle In the absence of any definitive evidence to suggest any previous European discovery or discoveries of Darwin and its harbour, it is generally accepted that John Lort Stokes and the men of HMS Beagle were the first Europeans to sail on its waters and land on its shores. The Beagle was under the command of Commodore John Clements Wickham and Lieutenant John Lort Stokes. Their instructions included the finalisation of a survey of both Bass and Torres Straits, and the completion of an examination of the north-western coast that might lead to navigable inland waterways.

She was supposed to be there as usual, but instead of that friendly craggy head and the trunk writhing to show her pleasure at seeing them, the visitors were met by a most peculiar sight. All they could see were four large dark grey legs sticking straight up from the dry moat. This was the ha-ha boundary designed and constructed to keep Samorn and other large animals secure from wandering off. The passengers, when they realised what they were looking at, cried the obvious. ‘Look there’s an elephant upside down!’ ‘Why is she upside down, Mummy?’ ‘Why doesn’t she roll over and get up?’ ‘Is she all right?’ Or words to that effect.

  • Cost Effective, Zero Energy Home Designs for Temperate and Tropical Climates in Australia
    Cost effective, zero energy home designs for temperate and tropical climates in Australia By Sihong GONG A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering Faculty of Engineering University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia January 2020 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Gong Given Name/s : Sihong Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Engineering School : School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering Cost effective, zero energy home designs for temperate and tropical climates Thesis Title : in Australia Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Due to the renewed interest in Australia in improving the minimum energy performance in the building code and the declining price of a residential PV system, there is an opportunity to examine more closely the cost effectiveness of improvements to building thermal performance and PV systems. Moreover, reducing peak thermal loads is another important issue to be considered due to the increasing usage of air conditioning. In this thesis, experimental measurements of a low energy dwelling in Perth, Western Australia, were compared with modelled results. The results indicated that the dwelling could perform as designed with little auxiliary heating and cooling. Using the validated model as a starting point, the design of the dwelling was optimised to minimise the cost of construction and operating energy consumption using EnergyPlus. Three locations in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne and Darwin) were investigated and a parametric study was conducted. In the absence of a PV system, the most cost-effective design achieved a NatHERS star rating of 7.6-star in Sydney, 7.0-star in Melbourne and 6.3-star in Darwin.

    Works Approval Application Recovered Energy Australia Laverton WtE Project June 2019 8. Energy Use and GHG Emissions 8.1 General Information This section has been compiled with reference to the Protocol for Environmental Management – Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Efficiency in Industry 2002 (PEM), National Greenhouse Gas Account Factors 2018 - 2019 and the State Environment Protection Policy (Air Quality Management) 2001 (SEPP – AQM). This assessment reviews the expected energy and non-energy related greenhouse gas emissions together with an assessment of best practice with respect to GHG emissions from the Project in accordance with the requirements of the EPA Guideline for Works Approval Application Publication 1658. It also reviews the potential impacts to and adaptive actions available to the WtE business as a consequence of climate change. The WtE Project will be a classified as Scheduled Premise under the Scheduled Premises and Exemptions Regulations 2007 and as such will be subject to the Climate Change Act 2017. This Act includes long term carbon reduction targets and this WtE Project will assist Victoria meet its targets by reducing emissions from landfill and substituting energy generation from non-renewable resources. Under the Environmental Effects Act 1978 the Minister may require the preparation of an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) where there is a likelihood of significant adverse effects to the environment and where potential greenhouse gas emissions exceed 200,000 tonnes of CO2e/annum. The GHG assessment following indicates that this limit will not be exceeded and a requirement to complete an EES on GHG criteria should not be required. 8.2 Detailed Information - Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions 8.2.1 Scope and Boundary of Assessment The scope of this assessment includes the construction and operation of the proposed REA WtE facility in Laverton North and considers all material sources of emissions.
