MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 The place has landmark value and provides a rare 360 degree uninterrupted panoramic view of the Perth coastal plain from Fremantle, to Rottnest, the northern suburbs and the Darling Range; The place is representative of heritage conservation in terms of its adaptive reuse as a community facility, which was instigated and supported by the local community; The place has associations with the Hamersleys', an important colonial family who established a holiday home in the area, which is recognised in the urban development of the site with Mount Flora named after Flora Hamersley (1862 – 1950); and The place is highly valued by the local and wider community as a place of social and cultural recreational activity, and contributes to their sense of place. An associated separate conference building which includes a conference room, workshop and toilets, landscape elements of a playground, park bench, picnic seating and a mobile phone base station inclusive of tower and antennas, which has been fenced off from the public are regarded as having low significance.” The curtilage plan (Attachment 2) shows that the entirety of Laurie Strutt Reserve, which comprises Lots 202 and 50, Elvire Street, bounded by Elvire Street, Hugh Street and Hale Street will be registered. The zones of significance plan (Attachment 3) shows that all areas of the reserve are considered to be of primary significance, except for the separate conference buildings which are identified as secondary significance, and the mobile phone base including tower and antennas as intrusive. It should be noted that the request for comment relates to the content of the heritage assessment documentation and, although the Heritage Council will consider and refer any comments in relation to economic or management issues, the Minister’s final decision on entry is primarily based on the cultural heritage significance of the place. 2. Implications a) Use of the Site The Water Tower Building currently houses the City’s Mount Flora Regional Museum, which is managed by the City’s Library Services Business Unit. The Library Services Business Unit also occupies portion of the conference buildings and workshop areas for office and storage purposes. The balance of the reserve is bushland area, an open parkland area with associated playground and picnic equipment which are managed by the City’s Parks and Reserves Business Unit and the Leisure and Cultural Services Business Unit. The area of bushland on the south eastern portion of the reserve is classified as ‘Local Natural Areas’ under the City’s Biodiversity Strategy. A Telecommunications Facility comprising a mobile phone base with tower and antennas is also located on the reserve. The telecommunications carrier operates the facility under the terms and conditions of a lease with the City. 132
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 b) Maintenance and Future Works The interim registration of the place would have implications on the overall management of the reserve. The recent introduction of new heritage regulations to the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 includes a list of maintenance and minor works that no longer require referral to the Heritage Council (Attachment 4). General on-going maintenance would not require the approval of the Heritage Council. Any proposed works not listed in these regulations would require referral to the Heritage Council. The State Office of Heritage has verbally indicated that the ongoing management of the museum would not be unduly restrained by either interim or permanent registration of the place. It is the intention that heritage places continue to function and owners are not unduly restrained from maintaining the functioning of such places. The heritage assessment identifies within the scientific value criteria that “ the area around Mount Flora Water Tower (former) and Lookout may provide archaeological evidence of both Noongar and early European activities.” The City has sought clarification from the State Office of Heritage on the implications of this statement. Verbal advice from State Office of Heritage officers has indicated that the requirement for an archaeological assessment would only be activated if major redevelopment of the reserve was proposed. The commissioning of suitably qualified practitioners to undertake the assessment, and associated costs, would be the responsibility of the City. Should the Reserve be given interim listing, it is recommended that the City investigate funding sources for the commissioning of a conservation plan for the place. The conservation plan would then guide any future works to be undertaken. 3. Officer Comment Officers support the Interim registration of the place and consider that the ongoing management and functioning of the Mount Flora Museum will not be unduly restrained. However, the extent of the reserve included in the curtilage of the place is questioned, particularly the inclusion of the surrounding bushland, parklands, playground, conference buildings and mobile phone base. The Executive Team supports the inclusion of the Mt Flora Water Tower and Lookout on the State Register, exclusive of the office building, surrounding park and bushland. Consultation/Communication Implications Should the Minister for Heritage approve Interim registration of the place, the City will be given another opportunity to comment prior to permanent registration. Policy and Legislative Implications Upon Ministerial approval the place is deemed to be entered into the State Register of Heritage Places on an interim basis. As such, the same statutory protection under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 is afforded to places with either an interim or a permanent registration. 133
