How you had YourSay:
Thank you for submitting your comments on the provisional registration of the Red Hill Historic Plantings. The consultation was open from 5 June to 7 August 2018 with comments submitted either by a survey, email or mail.
The provisional registration period was extended by three months under direction from the Minister to allow the Council to further consider issues raised during the public consultation period. The Council registered the site in November 2018 .
We looked at:
The Red Hill Historic Plantings have been provisionally registered on the ACT Heritage Register for their connection to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin’s innovative plan to use colour to revegetate Canberra’s hills.
Provisional registration is only the first step to let you know why the Council thinks a place or object is important to the ACT and you, its residents. Now the Council need to hear what you think about their initial assessment to see if you think they got it right, or if there is other information to consider.
The Red Hill Historic Plantings of various red flowering plants are evidence of the Griffins’ vision to ‘paint’ the once denuded hills of Canberra using different vegetation at different locations. The plantings provide a direct, living connection to the Griffins’ vision expressed over a century ago which was an innovative, unique approach to revegetation and is one of the earliest known plantings in the ACT for landscape restoration.
Your views were used to:
This consultation gave the opportunity for you to say if you thought the Council has it right or wrong, or if there is anything else they should have considered.
A common outcome of consultation is the Council confirming or rethinking what is included in their assessment, or what a final decision may look like. This can involve changing boundaries or adding or removing features that make up the significant fabric of the place.
