HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2015–16 1

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

2015-16 was a year of change for the Heritage Council. On 1 October 2015, a new Council was appointed by the Minister which gave us many new faces around the table. I was privileged to be appointed as Chairperson.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the former Council who were not appointed to the new Council. All of them were hard-working and conscientious members who made a substantial contribution to heritage management in the Northern Territory.

I would like to particularly thank the outgoing Chairperson, Dr Brian Reid, who after many years of dedicated service on the Council (including three years as Chairperson) decided not to seek reappointment to the Council.

Council was busier than ever in 2015-16. It met formally four times as required by the Heritage Act, and also met many times out of session, in order to ensure that day to day matters were dealt with in a timely fashion.

There were six additions to the NT Heritage Register in 2015-16. It is notable that the newly listed places were in diverse locations around the Territory. As a long-time resident of Alice Springs, I am pleased with this result. I think it is very important that we ensure that the unique heritage that exists in regional parts of the Territory is conserved and celebrated.

In April 2016 it was my pleasure to attend, for the first time, the annual meeting of the Heritage Chairs and Officials of Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed by the thought-provoking agenda, and appreciated the chance to meet like-minded people from all over Australia and New Zealand, and to exchange ideas.

Attending such meetings always reminds me of how important it is to keep one’s eye on the ‘big picture’, and to not be constantly caught up dealing with day to day matters. To that end, I am pleased to report that at its last meeting of the year in June 2016, Council resolved to establish a ‘policy and procedures’ committee. One of the important tasks for 2016-17 will be to use the work of this committee to ensure that as the Heritage Council moves ahead with its important work, that it makes decisions within a sound, transparent policy framework.

MR WAYNE KRAFT

The Heritage Act and the role of Council........................................................................The object of the Heritage Act is to provide for the conservation of the Northern Territory’s cultural and natural heritage. The Act is broad in its scope. It automatically protects all Aboriginal and Macassan archaeological places and objects, and has the capacity to automatically protect other classes of places.

(c) to recommend to the Minister the revocation of the declaration for heritage places and objects;

(d) to advise the Minister on the conservation, use and management of heritage places and objects;

(e) to advise the Minister about the carrying out of work on a heritage place or object and to decide applications for work approvals other than applications for major work;

(f) to promote, as it considers appropriate, the public use and enjoyment of heritage places and objects in a way that is consistent with the conservation of the heritage significance of the places and objects;

(g) to facilitate public education and programs about the Territory’s cultural and natural heritage;

(h) to advise the Minister on financial incentives or concessions for heritage agreements (either in general or on particular agreements);

HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2015–16 HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2015–168

AssessmentsOnce it has accepted a nomination, Council must apply the heritage assessment criteria set out in the Act, in order to determine whether the place is of heritage significance.

The heritage assessment criteria for a place or object are set out in section 11 of the Heritage Act, and are as follows:

(a) whether it is important to the course, or pattern, of the Territory’s cultural or natural history;

(b) whether it possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the Territory’s cultural or natural history.

(c) whether it has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the Territory’s cultural or natural history;

(d) whether it is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places or environments;

(e) whether it is important in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics;

(f) whether it is important in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement during a particular period;

(g) whether it has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons, including the significance of a place to Aboriginal people as part of their continuing and developing cultural traditions;

(h) whether it has a special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the Territory’s history.

The Council assessed the significance of seven places and three objects, as follows:

• Raggatt’s Structure• WWII Steam Locomotive Servicing Facility, Adelaide River• Diesel Locomotive NSU63 (object)• Chain Calibration Site, Alice Springs• Mitsubishi Zero BII-124 (object)• Ross Smith Memorial• 12 Schultze Street• Glen Helen Meat House (object)• Austral Pillar• Tennant Creek Flight Service Office

HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2015–16 HERITAGE COUNCIL NORTHERN TERRITORY - Annual Report 2015–16 9

Declared heritage places and objectsOnce Council has completed the assessment process, it has to decide whether or not the place or object is significant. If so, then the Council invites submissions as to whether the place or object should be permanently declared as a heritage place or heritage object.

After considering all the submissions made, the Council is then required to make a recommendation to the Minister. The Minister has the final decision as to whether a place or object is permanently declared as a heritage place or object.

In 2015-16, five places were permanently declared as heritage places, and one object as a heritage object:

• Little Flower Mission and Cemetery• Catalina 1, Darwin Harbour• Old Postmaster’s Residence, Tennant Creek• Old Mount Riddock Homestead (object)• Yuendumu Iron Building• Roper River Police Station

Policy and Strategy........................................................................The annual meeting of the Heritage Chairs and Officials of Australia and New Zealand (HCOANZ) was held in Brisbane from 3 – 5 April 2016. Chairperson Wayne Kraft attended, along with Michael Wells (Director Heritage Branch).

On Monday 4 April 2016, there was an ‘officials only’ meeting, dealing mainly with operational issues including:

• Australian Heritage Strategy• World Heritage• State of the Environment Report• Heritage Revolving Fund (WA)

On Tuesday 5 April 2016, there was a Chairs’ Forum, with the agenda set by the host Chair. This part of the Meeting was intended to be more strategic, and to promote the exchange of ideas. There was an emphasis on new technology, with information provided about:

• ‘Fort Lytton at Night’• Virtual Reality• 360 degree cameras

There was a separate session on heritage tourism, and later the Chairs received a ‘report back’ from the Officials Meeting the day before, and discussed the Australian Heritage Strategy.

On 3 June 2016, Council resolved to establish a ‘policy and procedures’ committee. The stated purpose of the committee is “to review and/or implement the policies and procedures required to both legally and efficiently process all matters pertaining to the Heritage Council of the Northern Territory.”
