Campbell Section 5 - Works Approval Project Ref: 110029Prepared for the Land Development Agency5 Heritage, Environment and Contamination5.1 HeritageThe Statement of Heritage Impact prepared by Architects and Heritage Consultants Lovell Chen,identifies elements of significance pertaining to Campbell Section 5. This document is provided asAppendix 1 of this Works Approval.Campbell Section 5 is not a listed heritage place in the ACT Heritage Register, and is not included inthe Commonwealth Heritage List or the National Heritage List.The National Trust of Australia (ACT) has likewise not classified the site; however, Campbell Section5 abuts the Parliament House Vista, and is identified as an ‘associated place’ in the ParliamentHouse Vista Area Heritage Management Plan (2010).Points in the Statement of Heritage Impact include:Built legacies of colonial era settlement and land use at the south end of the present AnzacParade - St John’s Anglican Church and School house and Blundell’s; The Griffin scheme – planned by Walter and rendered by his wife Marion Mahoney Griffin –described an organic city design, reflecting its intimate relationship with the landscape;The two Portal Buildings, also known as Anzac Park East and Anzac Park West. The PortalBuildings are approximately 28m high to the parapet of their six-storey wings; andBuilt form in the immediate vicinity of Campbell Section 5 including the new ASIOheadquarters and approved development to the east of Section 5.Based on a detailed assessment of the Preferred Concept Master Plan, Lovell Chen’s reportconcludes that:Campbell Section 5 is not subject to any heritage controls or classifications;Development to the west of the site was not anticipated by NCP Amendment 60. However,the lower heights of Blocks 1 and 2 respond appropriately to the height of the canopy of theAnzac Parade Blue gums (which are to be maintained over time), and existing residentialdevelopment to the north and east. This is consistent with the objectives of NCPAmendment 60. It is noted that glimpsed views of built form to the rear of screening trees isan existing condition of the Vista north of Lake Burley Griffin;The approach to built form, in terms of height, siting and mass, and landscaping will result inminimal visual impacts on the associated heritage place (Parliament House Vista), and willpromote a fuller understanding of Walter Burley Griffin’s objective for the Municipal Axis asCanberra’s ‘high street’; andThe limited visibility resulting from the proposed development is an acceptable balance ofthe requirement to respect the existing character of the Parliament House Vista, and deliverGriffin’s vision for Constitution Avenue as the base of the National Triangle.November 2012 Cardno 21
