Ballarat is not just a collection of historic buildings, events, precincts or separate spaces but a whole landscape, layered, complex, and nuanced and one that can be celebrated as being unique from other places. Naturally the Ballarat landscape will continue to develop, as the preparation of the City of Ballarat’s Strategy Today, Tomorrow, Together recognises, and it is vital that the cultural and social values attributed to this unique urban landscape are retained, revitalised and celebrated. This project is the first stage of a larger project designed to understand this landscape from community and wider perspectives, and to develop new and more integrated ways to manage all its values. There is an increasing recognition both in Australia and internationally that all landscapes matter, from outstanding to everyday and that landscape, both urban and rural, should be viewed as a whole and not as specific places for protection. In this report, landscape is far more than the visual landscape. The definition of landscape and ‘historic urban landscape’ is examined in Chapter 2. The UNESCO recommendations on Historic Urban Landscapes in 2012 has offered the City of Ballarat an exciting model to guide the development of new approaches to managing Ballarat’s historic and contemporary urban landscapes. This model, the principles and processes that underpin it and the opportunities it offers are explored in Chapter 2 of this report. This project will form one of a series of international pilot projects that are contributing to the development of methodologies of mapping and understanding the values of historic cities and their settings – the Historic Urban Landscapes approach. It will also make a significant contribution to the City of Ballarat’s Strategy which will provide a long-term, integrated and overarching land-use strategy for the whole municipality. 1.2 Objectives 1.2.1 The overall project The goal for the project as a whole – that is for Stages 1 and 2 - is to provide an ‘evidence- based, holistic, integrated and community-led’ analysis of Ballarat, creating a rich and nuanced understanding of its values, and resulting in a Statement of Significance that will guide the development of effective and integrated management tools to ensure that what is valued is retained in the city’s landscape into the future. In essence therefore, the project as a whole will involve: understanding the complexity and diversity of community values and perceptions, engaging with the communities of Ballarat, and recognising too the values held by wider communities – visitors, researchers, Victorians and Australians mapping and recording in other ways the values embodied in and expressed through Ballarat’s historic urban landscape to ensure that what is valued is not lost understanding how Ballarat is changing and will change into the future as a result of external forces, and how the shared vision of a desired future for the municipality can be achieved defining the urban landscape management tools – strategies, policies, plans and guidance – that are needed to retain valued landscape attributes in the face of change; some of these 1 MAPPING BALLARAT’S HISTORIC URBAN LANDSCAPE: STAGE 1 tools may already exist but others may need to be invented to suit Ballarat’s particular circumstances. Other projects currently underway through the City of Ballarat will contribute to the achievement of these bold goals, including strategic planning processes such as the Ballarat Strategy. Implementation of the completed project may well involve further investigations. And recognising that values may change over time and new threats to those values may emerge, the recommendations arising from this historic urban landscape project will need to encompass review and continuing adaptation. 1.2.2 Scope of Stage 1 Stage 1 has a more limited goal: it is to provide an indicative characterisation of Ballarat’s historic urban landscape which will then be tested with all stakeholders and refined in Stage 2, enabling a comprehensive Statement of Significance and urban landscape management tools to be developed. Stage 1 of the project examined the whole of the municipality of the City of Ballarat and was essentially an exploratory phase. Specifically, the scope of and tasks in Stage 1 were defined as: 1 – Landscape typology and characterisation: This involved a number of inter-related tasks and represents the main body of work undertaken in Stage 1, and included: Developing a framework for the indicative characterisation mapping, including examining the HUL approach and relating it to other landscape characterisation models Examining the range of data available on the City of Ballarat – historic and contemporary maps, plans, reports (and other documentary sources), including evidence of community- held values Through overlaying of selected data sets identifying key historic urban landscape types and a working draft of potential character areas Testing and refining this analysis and the potential character areas through field study using a consistent approach Through a visual analysis identifying significant landscape elements, reference points and viewpoints, and examining the visual experience offered by key travel routes Consultation with a selection of community informants to start to understand the diversity and complexity of community readings of the landscape. 2- Stage 2 methodology Another key task for Stage 1 was to develop a methodology to guide Stage 2. The requirements included: Defining a community engagement plan for community input into the final characterisation, building on the Ballarat Imagine initiative that forms part of the development of the Ballarat Strategy Review and refinement of the draft indicative characterisation developed in Stage 1, identifying the work required to test and develop it into a more comprehensive model that explicitly encompassed community values, historic themes and contemporary perceptions How best to develop a comprehensive and over-arching Statement of Significance that would guide urban landscape management approaches.

  • Does Early Colonial Art Provide an Accurate Guide to the Nature and Structure of the Pre-European Forests and Woodlands of South
    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

  • Buninyong Property Factsheet 1St Half 2018 OVERVIEW Buninyong* Is a Suburb Located Approximately 11Km South of Ballarat in Victoria
    Buninyong Property Factsheet 1st Half 2018 OVERVIEW Buninyong* is a suburb located approximately 11km south of Ballarat in Victoria. The town experienced a population increase of 14.5% between 2011 and 2016, yet the number of residential stock increased by 9.3%. While housing stock has increased, the population is growing faster, which points to an urgent need for more stock to cater for the population growth. CHANGE FROM HALF YEAR LAST YEAR House Sales House Median Price MARKET CONDITIONS The Buninyong* property market recorded a median house price of $496,000 and House Rental Price $266,600 for vacant land in Q1 2018, which represents an annual price change of 19.2% and 40.3% respectively. Over the same period of time, house prices in Land Sales the City of Ballarat Local Government Area# (LGA) grew by 8.9% to $361,000 and vacant land prices decreased by -4.6% to $145,000. Compared to the LGA, Land Median Price houses and land command premium prices in the Buninyong* property market, with annual capital growth of houses being double that of other surrounding Unit Rental Price suburbs. This suggests a strong demand for property (particularly houses) indicating the need for more residential development in the area. Now is the time FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** for first home buyers and investors to enter the market before prices get out of reach. Buninyong* is set to see approx. $12.6M of new projects commencing in the 1st Over the same period of time, houses have taken fewer days to sell (70 days), half of 2018.
