Stuart Read
Stuart is a landscape specialist with the Heritage Branch of the Office of Environment & Heritage.
He will compare Southern England's situation with that of NSW, looking at examples of pressures on change in landscapes, land use conflicts, gaps in listings and understanding, and areas of progress.
For instance - challenges managing change in Western Sydney's north-west and south-west growth centres.
These large urbanising areas will have towns and suburbs each the size of Canberra in future population - how to do so with any sense of the former Aboriginal and colonial pastoral landscapes that have preceded them is the rub.
Charlotte McLean
Charlotte is a chartered landscape architect who has spent the majority of her career practising in the UK, as well as France, Italy and Germany.
More recently she worked for English Heritage (the government’s statutory advisor on the historic environment), where she was responsible for safeguarding the special interest of the listed historic parks and gardens in the south east of England.
This talk will focus on some examples and illustrate how understanding the significance of a place is key to finding new use and resonance for these important landscapes.
