Traditional Heritage Management: The Case Of Australia And Tanzania, Johari Hussein, Lynne Armitage
Traditional Heritage Management: The Case Of Australia And Tanzania, Johari Hussein, Lynne Armitage
Lynne Armitage
Much has been written within and outside the heritage sector about traditional knowledge and practice. It is often characterised as an established movement that has contributed significantly to the local, national and international practice in conservation. Yet, the emergence of conservation practice has caused tremendous changes and a neglect of traditional knowledge that was critical for the survival of the Indigenous cultural heritage that exists today. The objective of this paper is to explore diverse approaches to traditional knowledge and practice that Indigenous peoples have employed to achieve management of their cultural landscape in Australia and Tanzania. The paper also …

Can sustainability and adaptability be integrated in a single decision tool for designing future buildings? Indeed, it is not possible to know what lies ahead for future buildings but, using current research on sustainability and the impact on natural resources and climate, it is possible to forecast the connection between built environment activity and sustainability. This paper demonstrates that the assessment of future adaptation in newly designed building is achievable by using the adaptSTAR model. This new design-rating tool, based on detailed analysis of 12 award-winning adaptive reuse projects in Australia, will assist designers in making decisions to achieve optimum …

Inventing Australia For Americans: The Rise Of The Outback Steakhouse Restaurant Chain In The Usa, Shirleene Robinson

Extract:The Outback Steakhouse is a commercially successful chain of American-owned, Australian themed restaurants. There are more than twelve hundred of these restaurants spread through-out the United States and across the world in places as diverse as China, Indonesia, and Venezuela. In 2001, the first Outback Steakhouse to open in Australia was launched in Parklea, New South Wales. By 2011, another six of these restaurants were operating in New South Wales with further Australian expansion planned. The Outback Steakhouse was founded in the aftermath of Crocodile Dundee by four business people who had never been to Australia. It reflects many elements …
The Value Of Built Heritage: Community, Economy And Environment, Janine Irons, Lynne Armitage
The Value Of Built Heritage: Community, Economy And Environment, Janine Irons, Lynne Armitage
Lynne Armitage
Whilst legislatures at all levels of Australian government have been slower to establish heritage protection than many other OECD countries, the community’s commitment predates identifiable involvement by government in the conservation arena by more than two decades as illustrated by the foundation, in Sydney in the mid 1940’s, of the National Trust of Australia (AGPC 2006). It was not until the 1970’s that formal frameworks were established through statutory control mechanisms for the identification and protection of Australia’s rich stock of heritage places (Irons and Armitage 2010). Similarly, at the professional level, the relatively recent emergence and dissemination of standardised …

The Management Of Built Heritage: A Comparative Review Of Policies And Practice In Western Europe, North America And Australia, Tracy Pickerill, Lynne Armitage

Internationally, patterns of government policy are trending away from traditional approaches to the conservation of the built heritage involving direct public funding, limiting subsidy and acquisition to the most cherished exemplars of national character. The evolving contemporary approach is one of partnership between stakeholders in the public and private domain to leverage their relative strengths whilst recognizing the constraints of market conditions and public sector imperatives. As a consequence of the limited ability of the untrammelled property market to incorporate values of cultural heritage which accord with those held by the broader voting public a continuum of legislative regimes has …
Managing Cultural Heritage: Heritage Listing And Property Value, Lynne Armitage, Janine Irons
Managing Cultural Heritage: Heritage Listing And Property Value, Lynne Armitage, Janine Irons
Lynne Armitage
Local governments across Australia are often placed in the invidious position of acknowledging the long term value to the community of a property or place by including it in a heritage register whilst alienating some current, often vocal, sectors of that community who raise concerns over an actual or perceived loss of individual, usually proprietary, rights. Whilst such conflicts of interest are inevitable, the necessity to manage such situations sensitively and effectively remains the lot of the local authority. In order to assist with the appropriate management of such situations, a study has been undertaken into the effects of heritage …
Sustaining An Indiscrete Cultural Landscape: A Case Study Of The South Brisbane Peninsula, Daniel O'Hare
Sustaining An Indiscrete Cultural Landscape: A Case Study Of The South Brisbane Peninsula, Daniel O'Hare
Daniel O'Hare
The aim of this paper is to expand heritage conservation philosophy and practice, particularly as applied to inner urban areas experiencing rapid change. It is hoped that the paper will contribute towards the development of a cultural landscape orientation in planning, and thereby towards ‘sustainable conservation.’ The paper focuses on the Australian urban conservation context, using the established conservation practice guides as its starting point. These guides, The Burra Charter (Marquis-Kyle and Walker, 1992) and The Conservation Plan (Kerr, 2002) provide rigorous and useful definitions of ‘cultural significance’ and ‘conservation’. It is argued that further development of cultural landscape theory …
