Message from the Chairperson............................................................................................I have great pleasure in presenting the third Annual Report of the Heritage Council.

2014-15 was a year in which the Heritage Council achieved a great deal. Sixteen assessment reports were completed, and six places and two objects were added to the NT Heritage Register.

It was particularly satisfying to see permanent protection given to the three United States Navy Catalina flying boat wrecks in East Arm, Darwin Harbour. These planes were sunk at their moorings in the first Japanese attack on Darwin on 19 February 1942. The Darwin Port Corporation, INPEX, the United States Navy, and members of the local community all supported the permanent protection of the wrecks.

A highlight of the year was a ‘road trip’ the Heritage Council took in September 2014. The Council normally meets in Alice Springs each September, with members based in the Top End flying down and back. This time members based in Alice Springs flew to Darwin, and the whole Heritage Council travelled by road from Darwin to Alice Springs over several days.

The Council visited Pine Creek, Katherine, Newcastle Waters, Elliott, and Tennant Creek, and places in between. There was considerable interest in the Council’s trip, particularly in Tennant Creek, where the Heritage Council met with local community leaders.

The low point of the year was undoubtedly the failure to permanently protect two important World War II sites located at East Arm, Darwin – the remains of the Flying Boat Base, and the Lugger Maintenance Section (also known as the ‘Z Special Unit Base’). The Council felt that in the case of the Lugger Maintenance Section at least, it would have been possible to protect the historical values of the site and allow development to proceed around it.

On a personal note, this is my final year of a three year appointment as Chair of the Heritage Council, which followed three years as Chair of the preceding Heritage Advisory Council. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the staff of the Heritage Branch for their personal and professional support throughout this period. They have the, at times thankless, task of servicing the Council as well as maintaining a watching brief over heritage places and objects throughout the Territory.

ConservationProgramforGovernment-ownedHeritageAssetsThe Conservation Program for Government-owned Heritage Assets had a budget of $698 000 in 2014-15.

The implementation of the Program is an operational matter for the Department of Lands Planning and the Environment. Council is involved when work approvals are required, and is provided with an annual update on work completed under the Program.

Policy and Strategy........................................................................The Council visited the reconstructed Old Mount Riddock Homestead as part of its ‘road trip’ in September 2014, and this instigated further discussion within Council about relocating buildings and structures. Council has resolved to develop a policy position on this subject.

The Museum and Art Gallery of the NT (MAGNT) became an independent entity on 1 July 2014. Council instigated a dialogue with MAGNT about its collection policy, and the overlap between Council activities and those of MAGNT. Council will continue to engage with MAGNT on matters of mutual interest.

Council took the opportunity to review the operation of the Heritage Act after its first two years of operation, and provided advice to Government about where the Council thought there was room for improvement. Council suggested to the Government that some significant improvement was required to the system for provisional protection.
