    Situated on a peninsula to the west of Sydney’s CBD and Darling Harbour, the inner suburb is a manmade environment used for service and residential use. In the 19th and early 20th century, Pyrmont was an important port and industrial area, and sometimes called ‘Sydney’s backyard’. This area had a population of around 30,000 people at the time, and was one of the most grown suburbs in Sydney. Such urban growth had brought increased employment opportunities and more community services in the area, however had caused problems to rise such as inadequate infrastructure, traffic congestion, accumulation of waste and high price of properties as well.…

    The purpose of this study was to explore the research question: “What is the return on investment of the Liscombe House Project?” using a model developed by Lawrence Deane. The Liscombe House, which was built circa 1870 in the North End of Sydney, was purchased by.................. It was subsequently sold to an interested developer in 2012 and has been undergoing renovations.

The study’s findings were arrived at on the basis of detailed documentation review and analysis and participant observation, in the form of attending local community housing and historic preservation meetings.

    Pyrmont has been a site of significance relating to the growth and development of Sydney for many years. It was a major industrial area of Sydney that contained many factories and warehouses that allowed for the quick development of Sydney. After WW2 however, mass suburbanisation caused much of the population of Pyrmont to move out of the CBD in order to follow the ‘Australian Dream’ of owning your own property and house. This mass migration of the population left much of the infrastructure in Pyrmont in a state of decay and disrepair. In order to make effective use of the existing infrastructure in Pyrmont, the government began to increase inner city density. As a result, urban renewal is not evident throughout Pyrmont…

    I chose to watch a historic district commission meeting from the city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire from August 13, 2014 because I couldn’t get to anything in person this week and I thought this would be an interesting meeting to listen to since our historical buildings down town are under so much scrutiny all the time. The HDC serves to safeguard the architectural heritage of the Town. Preserve elements of the community’s architectural, cultural, social, economic and political history. Conserve property values. Foster civic pride. Promote the use of the historic districts for the education, pleasure and welfare of the citizens of Portsmouth. It is a seven member commission with 2 alternates.…

    This Guide to assessing public houses for rating purposes is agreed between the British Beer and Pub Association and the Valuation Office Agency and applies to the Rating Lists in England and Wales compiled on 1st April 2010. Whilst it is intended that this Guide should enable the assessments of all public houses to be determined correctly, the opportunity for individuals to seek to have their houses valued outside its terms, where exceptional circumstances would otherwise make their application inappropriate, is not precluded. The valuation basis applies throughout England and Wales, although the Guide differentiates between houses in and around…

    For many years Mt Stirling has attracted cross-country skiers, horse riders and people that want to truly escape into an untouched environment. The summit was used for cattle grazing. In 1994 the decision was made to develop the mountain for downhill skiing and the future for the mountain was not looking bright. Fortunately, the Victorian government announced in 1997 that the plans to develop the mountain for skiing have been overturned and to keep Mt Sterling all season, nature based tourist, recreational, and also an educational mountain that is inviting for everyone. Now at Mt Sterling they have put up many signs that are about the mountains history and they range on a various amount of topics. The mountain has no resorts on it and actually relies on the people that use it to look after it and keep it clean and pure. People understand how great and magnificent the mountain is so there rarely is a scrap left behind but ideally it’s our own responsibility to keep the mountain as it is. At 1500 metres, the trees change to snow gums and on the summit there is one isolated tree which stands out a lot.…

    A – To measure the period growth of the town, I would create a Goad map to investigate the rapid increase of buildings being built throughout Weymouth. I will record a building after every three and categorize them into four sections: Victorian style buildings, inter-war, 1970-90 and modern. This will enable me to measure the amount of development within Weymouth and demonstrate how much modern housing is current within the area.…

    An irreplaceable heritage asset refers to a place of huge historical or social importance, a place that some might call a ‘national treasure’. Examples within England include Stonehenge, The Royal Botanical Gardens, The Tower of London and The City of Bath. It should be clear to see that almost anything, from a pile of rocks to an entire city, can be classified as a heritage asset. It should also be clear that the benefits that people draw from these assets are not all the same. Broadly, we can categorise these benefits into ‘use value’ and ‘non-use’ value. The use value is the value which an individual places upon the direct use of a resource, in this case an irreplaceable heritage asset. Non-use values “measure aspects of the resource 's value to individuals which are not linked to actual resource use by the individual” (Cicchetti and Wilde 1992, p1121). These non-use values are particularly prominent when taken in the context of irreplaceable heritage assets: many people may never want to go and visit Stonehenge or the Tower of London, but if these sites were destroyed people would incur some disutility from the notion that perhaps these assets benefited the nation as a whole, and as a result national pride is depleted. Therefore it is vital to have a precise estimate of the value that society places on heritage assets so as to be able to…

    For many years the difference between heritage and history has been confused. Often the line between the two is merged creating a general measure of difficulty when it comes to separating the two. ‘The relationship between heritage, history and memory has been subject to much debate recently among geographers, historians and cultural critics’1. However it is clear, that ‘Heritage is not history’2 and that ‘Heritage should not be confused with history. History seeks to convince by truth … Heritage exaggerates and omits, candidly admits and frankly forgets, and thrives on ignorance and error’3 . Despite their differences, nonetheless, it would be impossible to say that they did not have similarities and at time clearly rely on each other, ‘Recent work has emphasised that heritage tourism is not just a set of commercial transactions, but the ideological framing of history and identity’4. But to discover the similarities and differences between heritage and history, we must define the two as appropriately as possible.…
