Annual Report of the South Australian Heritage Council 2005-06

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL The Hon Gail Gago MLC, Minister for Environment and Conservation Dear Minister Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Sector Management Act 1995, I am pleased to submit the first Annual Report of the South Australian Heritage Council for the year ended 30 June 2006. Shortly after the final meeting of the former State Heritage Authority, the Heritage (Heritage Directions) Amendment Bill 2005 passed through both houses of Parliament and gained Royal Assent. The Heritage Places Act 1993 came into operation on 17 November 2005. The establishment of the new South Australian Heritage Council to replace the Authority resulted from the amendments made to the Heritage Act, elevating the role of the new Council to a higher strategic level. The Council’s inaugural meeting was held on 23 February 2006, and it has now met three times. I believe the Council is fulfilling its charter in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993. The Council undertook a strategic planning session in late May which provided an opportunity for members to highlight priorities for the Council. The Council also ascertained its strategic partners, aligned Council priorities with the key objectives of the Government’s Heritage Directions Strategy and submitted suggested targets for inclusion in South Australia’s Strategic Plan to the Plan Update team. Council members will continue to advocate for the inclusion of a built heritage target in the Plan in coming months. The Council has a role in providing advice to the Minister to whom the administration of the Development Act 1993 is committed, which includes making comments on any amendments to the Development Act. At the National level, the Council acknowledges the significant contribution of the members of the former State Heritage Authority and, in particular, its Chairman, the Hon. Rod Matheson, AM, QC, to the submissions made by the Heritage Chairs of Australia and New Zealand (HCANZ) network to the Productivity Commission’s Inquiry into the Conservation of Australia’s Historic Heritage Places. The Federal Treasurer released the Productivity Commission’s final report in July 2006 and the Council will provide advice to you on its findings. The Council is looking forward to playing a strategic role in furthering the protection, conservation and celebration of the State’s rich heritage. Ms Mary Marsland, PSM CHAIR SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL

THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL

(v) to promote the objects of this Act in such other manner as the Council thinks fit, including through the work of other bodies or persons;

(c) to provide advice (especially from a strategic perspective) to the Minister to whom the administration of the Development Act 1993 is committed on matters relating to—

(i) the interpretation or application of the criteria set out in section 23(4) of that Act (and, if appropriate, the consideration of any potential amendment with respect to those criteria); and


(ii) other matters on which that Minister is required to consult with the Council under the provisions of that Act;

Section 32—Heritage agreements

(1) The Minister may, after seeking and considering the advice of the Council, enter into a heritage agreement with the owner of land constituting a State Heritage Place.

MEMBERSHIP

The South Australian Heritage Council consists of 6 - 8 persons who, in the opinion of the Governor, have knowledge of or experience in history, archaeology, architecture, the natural sciences, heritage conservation, public administration, urban and regional planning or property development (or any combination of 2 or more of these fields), or some other relevant field. The other member must be a person with knowledge of or experience in heritage conservation chosen from a panel of 3 such persons submitted to the Minister by the Local Government Association of South Australia.

The Governor designates one member of the Council to chair meetings of the Council and may appoint a suitable person to act as a member of the Council in the absence of a member. Members are appointed for a term of office not exceeding three years, and on completion of a term of appointment are eligible for reappointment. Before filling a vacancy in the membership of the Council (other than a vacancy to be filled by a person nominated by the Local Government Association), the Minister must, by advertisement published in a newspaper circulating throughout the State, invite interested members of the public to submit (within 14 days of the advertisement) the names of persons whom they regard as suitable candidates for the vacancy. Members of the Council during 2005-2006 were as follows: Ms Mary Marsland Chair Dr Judith Brine Member (LGA representative) Dr Christine Garnaut Member Mr Alan Graham Member


Ms Helen Haltis Member Mr Gavin Leydon Member Mr Michael O’Connell Member Mr Lew Owens Member Ms Carolyn Wigg Member Members of the Council’s Register Committee were as follows: Ms Carolyn Wigg Chair Dr Peter Bell Member Mr Peter Donovan Member Dr Susan Marsden Member Ms Kate McDougall Member Mr Michael Queale Member Mr Paul Stark Member (to 15 June 2006) Ms Robyn Taylor Member (from 16 June 2006)


ACHIEVEMENTS

Heritage Directions

The Council’s predecessor, the State Heritage Authority, was a strong advocate for the Heritage Directions Strategy and the Council is pleased to see the impetus for reform being maintained. The early focus for Heritage Directions funded activity was on legislative reform to strengthen and streamline the State’s heritage management system. The changes outlined in the discussion paper Heritage Directions: a future for built heritage in South Australia had implications for both the Heritage Act 1993 and the Development Act 1993.

The Heritage (Heritage Directions) Amendment Bill 2005 gained Royal Assent on 14 July 2005 and was proclaimed on 17 November 2005. Among other things it amended and renamed the Heritage Act 1993. The Heritage Places Act 1993 created the South Australian Heritage Council to replace the State Heritage Authority and introduced provisions to require ‘reasonable care’ of a State Heritage Place.

Local heritage reforms incorporated into the Development (Sustainable Development) Amendment Bill 2005 likewise resulted from the Heritage Directions review. This Bill has now been split into smaller Bills, so the Council will review draft sections of the Bills that relate to heritage management. To this end, the Council will review the draft Development (Local Heritage) Amendment Bill 2006 before it is introduced later this year.

South Australian Heritage Council - Register Committee In accordance with section 4 of the Heritage Places Regulations 2005, at its first meeting, the Council approved the terms of reference for, and appointed members of, a Register Committee to assist the Council to administer the South Australian Heritage Register. The Register Committee comprises 7-9 members, at least one of whom, normally the Chair, shall be a member of the Heritage Council. The inaugural Chair of the Committee is Ms Carolyn Wigg.

Grants Programs The South Australian Heritage Fund Small Grants Program had funding of $250 000 this financial year.

In total there were 130 applicants for the Heritage Places Grants seeking in excess of $1.2 million. There were 71 Grants for State Heritage Places approved to a total of $243,681 (auditing costs of $6000 are anticipated to make up the possible funding of $250,000). Sixty-one projects were completed successfully to a value of $237,980. Applications for the 2006-07 Heritage Places Grants Program closed on 30 June 2006 and attracted 100 submissions seeking in excess of $600 000.


The Heritage Cemeteries Fund Grant Program is now in its fourth year. This is a State Funded Project with an allocation of $50 000. Thirty-one grants totalling $45 556 were completed successfully to support conservation work in cemeteries. Applications for the 2006-07 Heritage Cemeteries Fund Grant Program closed on 30 June 2006 and 38 applications were received seeking almost $60 000.

OTHER MATTERS Other matters advanced by the Council in 2005-06 year include:

Administration of the South Australian Heritage Register The South Australian Heritage Register is a list of places of heritage value to the State. A place may be entered in the Register if it meets one or more of the criteria specified in section 16 of the Act. Due to the interregnum between the last meeting of the State Heritage Authority in June 2005 and the first meeting of the Council’s Register Committee there were no provisional entries made from 1 July 2005 – 11 April 2006.

Two State Heritage Places were provisionally entered in the Register and the entries of three places confirmed. They are detailed in Appendix A. There were 2197 confirmed entries in the Register at 30 June 2006. No applications were made during the year for the Certificates of Exclusion provided for in section 22 of the Act, which guarantee that a place will not be entered in the South Australian Heritage Register within five years of the date of issue. A comprehensive survey of the heritage of the 20th century is regarded as a priority, given the imbalance between 19th and 20th century places entered in the South Australian Heritage Register. This priority is in line with one of the Heritage Directions strategies to review the Register to ensure that there is an appropriate representation of 20th century heritage. The Heritage Branch commissioned a heritage survey of the period 1928-1945 in June.

State Heritage Areas Under the provisions of the repealed South Australian Heritage Act 1978, State Heritage Areas were designated by the Minister to whom the Act was committed. Under the current legislation, the Heritage Places Act 1993, the Council recommends the creation of State Heritage Areas but they are created through the process of preparing Plan Amendment Reports under the provisions of the Development Act 1993. No State Heritage Areas were recommended by the Council this year.

Heritage Agreements Heritage Agreements are a form of contract between owners of land and the State Government to protect certain aspects of a heritage place in perpetuity. A heritage agreement attaches to the land and is binding on the current owner of the land whether or not that owner


was the person with whom the agreement was made. A heritage agreement is, to the extent specified in the agreement, binding on the occupier of the land. The Minister for Environment and Conservation may, after seeking and considering the advice of the Council, enter into a heritage agreement or, by agreement with the owner of the land to which a heritage agreement applies, vary or terminate an agreement. At its February 2006 meeting the Council followed the lead of the former State Heritage Authority and resolved to delegate its role of providing advice to the Minister for Environment and Conservation on varying or terminating heritage agreements relating to native vegetation to the Executive Officer of the Native Vegetation Council. This action followed advice from the Crown Solicitor’s Office that certain native vegetation Heritage Agreements established under the SA Heritage Act 1978-80 had to be dealt with under the Heritage Places Act 1993. Specifically, native vegetation Heritage Agreements entered into between 1980 and 1985 have to be dealt with under the Heritage Act 1993 and cannot be dealt with under the Native Vegetation Act 1991. It is intended that this anomaly will be remedied by amending the latter Act. No new Heritage Agreements were recommended this year. As at 30 June 2006, four heritage agreements were in place relating to the following properties: Belmont, Brougham Place, North Adelaide; St Vigeans Estate Garden, Laurel Road, Stirling; the former Bank SA, Gawler Street, Mount Barker and Beechwood Garden and Conservatory, Snows Road, Stirling.

Advice to the Minister – South Australian Heritage Fund The Act requires the Minister to seek and consider the Council’s advice (from a strategic perspective) on the management and application of the South Australian Heritage Fund, which is administered to support the conservation of non-government owned buildings. Conservation of government-owned heritage buildings is administered through the Historic Buildings Conservation Program managed by Building Management, an agency of the Department for Administrative and Information Services. Due to the interregnum between the final meeting of the former Authority and the appointment of the Council, the then Minister for Environment and Conservation was unable to consult with the Council this year, but approved the Heritage Branch’s recommendations for the expenditure of $250 000 on small grants in 2005-06. The South Australian Heritage Fund meets the accounting criteria of a controlled entity and is accounted for in the Department for Environment and Heritage’s Financial Statements and Annual Report. An outline of the Fund and the grants made this financial year can be found at Appendix C.

RECONCILIATION STATEMENT The Council would like to acknowledge that the land on which it meets is the traditional lands of the Kaurna people and that it respects their spiritual relationship with their country. The Council also acknowledges the Kaurna people as the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still important to the living Kaurna people today.


In fulfilling its functions, the Council is cognisant of the cultural and natural heritage of traditional owners and strives to achieve positive outcomes wherever these matters are concerned.

HUMAN RESOURCES Members of the Council received the following remuneration:

Chair: $190 per four-hour session.

Member: $160 per four-hour session.

All financial reporting for the Council is contained in the DEH Annual Report 2005–06. However, the Council provides strategic advice to the Minister on the management and application of money from the South Australian Heritage Fund (the Fund). Section 11 of the Heritage Places Act 1993 states that:

11 (1) The Minister must cause proper accounts to be kept of the receipts and payments from the Fund.

(2) The Auditor-General may at any time, and must at least once in each year, audit the accounts of the Fund.

Audited financial statements of the Fund can be viewed in the DEH Annual Report 2005-06.

Finance The costs associated with the administration of the Council are met from within the existing resources of DEH. Members are paid sitting fees in accordance with the determination from the Commissioner for Public Employment. Expenditure incurred during the period of operation for sitting fees was $3,770.00.

Account Payment Performance DEH provides administrative resources for processing account payments for the Council. Reporting on this matter is contained in the DEH Annual Report 2005-06.

Contractual Arrangements The Council did not enter into any contractual arrangements exceeding $4 million in value during the reporting period.
