1 INTRODUCTION

This Heritage Management Protocol has been prepared to assist the Queensland University of Technology and the Queensland Heritage

Council to manage changes to part of the heritage listed Gona Barracks. It concerns that part of the listed site known as the Creative Industries Precinct - Lot 1 of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village, part of Gona Parade, and Parer Place (Lot 903). This document acknowledges and identifies the cultural significance of the place and its parts, and aims to protect that significance. It should be read in conjunction with the updated Conservation Plan for the whole listed site prepared in 2004 which recognises the changes made to the site as part of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village infrastructure development and the recent adaptation and new construction by QUT to form the Creative industries Precinct. Philosophy for further adaptation and changes is discussed and categories or levels of approvals for various works are established for each building and the open spaces.

In June 2000, the Queensland Government purchased the former Gona Barracks site from the Department of Defence. The Queensland Department of Housing, in association with the Queensland University of Technology, have developed the barracks and other land to form the Kelvin Grove Urban Village. It will house public and private housing,

commercial, retail and mixed use development as well as various QUT facilities such as a physical activity and health centre and an Institute for Health and Biomedical Innovation. The first part of the village to be developed and occupied was the Creative Industries Precinct, the subject of this document. Specifically, this protocol relates to Lot 1 on SP151277 – the area occupied by the Creative Industries buildings – as well as Lot 903, now named Parer Place, and a section of Gona Parade. Other parts of the listed site may be the subject of separate future heritage management protocols. Development of the Creative Industries Precinct, which entailed the adaptation of the two early buildings, the removal of one building and the construction of three new buildings, was approved by the Queensland Heritage Council in May 2002. Infrastructure works, including the removal of several buildings within the precinct area and the construction of landscaping and roads, were approved and constructed earlier. Approval was received for revisions to the approved development in September 2003. These revisions were for changes to landscaping and the provision of shade structures and projection facilities to the former parade ground area. The work was completed in time for the commencement of the academic year early in 2004. Separate approval was received for the adaptation of building A26 on Lot 2 for use by Creative Industries in June 2003. That building is not included within the scope of this protocol.

1 . 2 T H I S S T U D Y

The aim of this study is to enable QUT, including its lessees and tenants, to use and manage the Creative Industries Precinct on a daily basis without the need to constantly seek heritage approvals for minor changes. These most often relate to matters of fit-out and maintenance. On a broader scale, the study considers further development of the site and structures, and seeks to provide certainty as to heritage management requirements. The Protocol aims to reduce the administration burden to QUT, its subsidiaries, its lessees and its tenants, and the Queensland Heritage Council by streamlining the heritage assessment process. The procedures for protecting significant fabric generally follow the findings of the Conservation Plan prepared in 2004. That study updated earlier reports and took into account the changes to the Heritage Register boundary and the resultant reduction in site area, the provision of infrastructure as part of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village which included the removal of several buildings from the site, and the construction of the Creative Industries Precinct for QUT.


INTRODUCTION

■ 3

This Protocol takes these findings into account, identifies significant fabric and non-significant fabric in detail, and sets parameters for changes which will require heritage approval or formal exemption.

1 . 3 W H O S H O U L D U S E T H I S D O C U M E N T

Due to the complex nature of tenure over the site and its parts, there are several groups involved in the management and maintenance of the Creative Industries Precinct. It is critical that the matter of cultural significance be considered at the earliest stages of any project or proposal to determine if in fact the proposed changes are appropriate to the buildings and the site. QUT Facilities Management: Trade & Supervisory Staff

This document has been designed to be used on a daily basis by QUT staff, including maintenance staff who carry out routine changes to buildings in the precinct. Garden maintenance contractors should also be familiar with relevant protocol requirements.

QUT Facilities Management: Capital Works and Operations Staff

The document should also be used by the Facilities Management Staff who are involved in the planning and implementation of building projects within the subject site. It should be made available where appropriate to consultant teams engaged for specific projects.

Brisbane City Council

As the body with responsibility for the section of Gona Parade within the subject site, Brisbane City Council need to use the relevant section of the Protocol when planning or carrying out any work in that area.

QUT Creative Industries Faculty, QUT Precincts (part of the

Division of International & Development), Creative Industries Precinct Pty Ltd, tenants including La Boite theatre, Education Television, caterers

These groups need at least to be aware of the constraints involved in the heritage listing of the site even though they may not originate work to the buildings and surrounds. The Protocol should be used to guide any work relating to sub-tenants’ and exhibitors’ requirements which may be co-ordinated by the tenants.

Following this introductory chapter is a section which deals with the relevant legislative framework, then there is a section on the general philosophy for adapting and changing places of cultural significance. The subsequent chapters then deal with each building and the open spaces. These chapters include a brief outline of the building or space, then addresses in detail those parts of the physical fabric which have cultural heritage significance. Three categories of work or changes are then listed – those which require a formal application and assessment by the Queensland Heritage Council, those which should be subject to an application for an exemption certificate, and those changes which require no approval or exemption application.

2the ll]


INTRODUCTION

■ 5

Changes which do not require approval or further exemption are those which are considered to have no or minimal effect on cultural significance – generally relating to changes to the recent buildings and recent work to the early buildings - and are subject to the endorsement of this document by the Queensland Heritage Council. The following steps should be taken in dealing with the proposed changes:

1. Establish the project; 2. Refer to relevant building or space chapter and determine what

(if any) type of approval is required for the particular changes proposed or planned;

3. Apply for an Exemption Certificate, if applicable, directly to the

Environmental Protection Agency using the appropriate form, or lodge an application under the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) through the Brisbane City Council for assessment using the appropriate forms.

Such applications would normally be accompanied by the following:

Plans, elevations, sections and other drawings necessary to explain the proposed works and to show existing conditions.

A statement setting out the impact of the work on the cultural

significance of the place.

Photographs of the effected area. Similar information is required for Exemption Certificate applications, and Work Method Statements should also be provided where possible. Where insufficient information is provided with an Exemption Certificate Application or where the proposed works are considered to be of a complex nature, the Environmental Protection Agency may require a formal Development Application.


LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

■ 6

2 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

This chapter outlines the applicable legislation and processes involved in obtain approval for development on the site.

2 . 1 B R I S B A N E C I T Y P L A N 2 0 0 0

The former Gona Barracks site is entered in the Heritage Register of places of cultural heritage significance in the Brisbane City Council CityPlan 2000. Development, or building work, on registered places is assessed under the Heritage Place Code which is part of the CityPlan 2000. As the place is included in the Queensland Heritage Register, proposed works would be assessed under the provisions of the Queensland Heritage Act.

2 . 2 Q U E E N S L A N D H E R I T A G E A C T

Under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, all development within a place entered on the Queensland Heritage Register (QHR) must be first assessed and approved by the Queensland Heritage Council (QHC) through the Integrated Development Assessments System (IDAS). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the Queensland government body which assists the QHC and its committees in administering the Queensland Heritage Act (QHA). The Queensland Heritage Act requirements for development in a registered place are set out in Part 5 of the Act which was amended in 2003. That part also provides for the exemption of certain types of development from formal application and assessment through the issue of Exemption Certificates Upon application by the owner of a registered place the Queensland Heritage Council may issue a certificate which allows certain development that: (a) is excluded work; or (b) is genuinely required for a place of worship for liturgical

purposes; or (c) is permitted under a heritage agreement; or (d) would have no impact on the cultural heritage significance of the

place. The QHA also provides for Heritage agreements made between the owner of a registered place and the Minister, in this case the Minister for Environment and Heritage. The purpose of such an agreement, to which a local government may be a party, may be to apply controls and parameters to development within the broad guidelines of the Act. This



■ 7

protocol forms part of that agreement, together with the Conservation Management Plan for the former Gona Barracks. This protocol defines categories or levels of works which will:

1. be exempted from further application or assessment; 2. be subject to further future application(s) for exemption(s) (under

Sections 35 or 37 of the Act as needs arise). 3. be subject to formal application and assessment through IDAS

(under Section 33 of the Act as needs arise). Work requiring formal assessment by the Heritage Council would normally be part of an overall application using Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) and lodged through the local authority which acts as assessment manager. In this case, the Heritage Council acts as a referral agency. When no other agencies are involved or when the place is owned by a local authority the Heritage Council may act as the assessment manager. In cases where the development would have a substantial effect on cultural heritage significance, the proposed development is required to be publicly advertised by the Heritage Council. Work defined as Emergency Work may also be carried out without approval. (refer to Section 2.3)

D E F I N I T I O N S

The following definitions are for terms used within this protocol document and relate to those definitions within the Queensland Heritage Act 1992 and to the Queensland Heritage & Other Legislation Amendment Act 2003, and to the Integrated Planning Act 1997. Development Becomes building work under the Integrated

Planning Act 1997.

Building work Building work as defined under the Building Act 1975; painting or plastering that substantially alters the appearance of the place; renovations, alterations or additions; excavations, disturbances or changes to landscape or natural features of land that substantially alters the appearance; work on furniture, fittings and other objects associated with the place and that contributes to the place’s cultural heritage significance.

Place A defined or readily identifiable area of land and includes all buildings and their immediate surrounds. In this case, place includes all buildings and structures within the site boundary together with the open spaces between and around the structures.

Cultural heritage significance of a place

Its aesthetic, architectural, historical, scientific, social or technological significance to the present community and future generations.

Building Includes furniture, fittings and other objects associated with the building and which contribute to the building’s cultural heritage significance.

Emergency work Reversible work necessary to give temporary support, shelter or security to a place because it has been, or is likely to be, damaged by fire or natural disaster or because of accidental or intentional damage, excludes demolition.

Excluded work Maintenance work, minor repair work, or other minor work that will not cause detriment to the cultural heritage significance of the place, is not of a significant scale and is reversible, excludes emergency work.

Maintenance work

Work performed for the protective care of a place including for example the protective care of the materials, features, contents and setting comprising fences, gardens and grounds, roads and paths, roof and drainage system, services and utilities, and including painting work in a colour conforming with an existing colour scheme.

Minor repair work

Work of a minor nature involving repairs to materials, features, contents and setting and using the same types of materials and the same construction methods as were originally used in the place.

P E N A L T I E S

Unauthorised development in relation to a registered place may incur a maximum penalty of

17,000 units (currently $1,275,000) under Section 4.3.1 of the Integrated Planning Act.



■ 9

A Stop Order may be issued under the Heritage Act by the Minister to prevent work or activity that may destroy or reduce the cultural heritage significance of a place. The Stop Order can continue in force for up to 40 days and the maximum penalty for contravention of stop order is 17,000 penalty units. Restoration orders may also be issued which require making good of damage and non-development orders which prohibit development of a place for up to ten years may be served.

P E R I O D I C I N S P E C T I O N S

Officers of the Environmental Protection Agency may periodically inspect the site to monitor cumulative impacts on the cultural significance of the place. These inspections may include, at the discretion of the officers, any part of the site or buildings and may be made at times agreed between QUT and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If the EPA is convinced that any work has been carried out contrary to this protocol it will advise QUT. If the impact of such work warrants, the Minister may issue a Stop Order under the Act.

2 . 3 E M E R G E N C I E S

Emergency work, as defined in the Queensland Heritage Act may be carried out without approval or an exemption certificate. In the event that fabric of a building or structure is damaged in a way that causes a hazard to people or the risk of further damage to the fabric, one of the following special emergency procedures should be followed: Where temporary protection can be provided:

(i) In circumstances where risks may be investigated by safely erecting barricades or props to stabilise the structure, these shall be erected immediately.

(ii) Inform the Manager, Cultural Heritage Branch, Environmental Protection Agency of the circumstances.

Where immediate repair is essential:

(i) Immediately carry out repairs in accordance with the advice of conservation architects.

(ii) Inform the Manager, Cultural Heritage, Environmental Protection Agency of the circumstances. (In these cases, repair using materials and workmanship which would normally require assessment under this document may be carried out without approval.)



■ 10

2 . 4 W O R K M E T H O D S T A T E M E N T S

As part of future applications of exemption certificates, work method statements should be submitted outlining the proposed practice for conduct of the work. The method statements should be prepared by the project managers and project officers, maintenance staff and appropriately skilled tradesmen such as stonemasons in consultation with a conservation architect. The method statements should accord with the policies set out in the Conservation Plan. The following is a guide for the contents of the method statements.

AN APPROACH TO CONSERATION

■ 11

3 AN APPROACH TO CONSERVATION

This chapter includes some basic principles that may assist those who may be involved in the design of new work to the Creative Industries

Precinct.

3 . 1 P H I L O S O P H Y

Conservation recommendations begin at the broadest level providing the philosophical basis that underpins heritage conservation and the approach taken in this document to the conservation of cultural significance of the former Gona Barracks site.

C U L T U R A L S I G N I F I C A N C E G U I D I N G D E C I S I O N S

Decisions about changes to the Creative Industries Precinct need to be based on a thorough understanding of the cultural significance of those parts affected by the decisions. The physical fabric contains and expresses the evidence of its history and holds much of its cultural significance. The open spaces and remaining early buildings – particularly those which remain relatively intact – express the ethos of the former Gona Barracks and will require particular protection, the aim being to conserve significant fabric for the future. In a broader sense, the Gona Barracks character as a group of buildings set around an open parade ground, although lessened to some extent by the recent work, should guide decisions about additional structures on and around the site.

C O N T I N U I N G T H E T H E M E

The adaptive work which turned part of the former Gona Barracks into the QUT Creative Industries Precinct followed the broad principles of a Master Plan prepared for the Kelvin Grove Urban Village and approved by the Queensland Heritage Council in 2001. Any new work should continue to follow the master plan and the approach taken with the formation of the Creative Industries Precinct. Uses were allocated to the historic buildings which limited the need for adaptation and change. Early volumes, spaces and fenestration treatments were largely retained as were smaller detailed elements which contribute to the sense of the place being a former army barracks. The parade ground has been preserved not only in a visual sense but in terms of pedestrian activity and flow.

Junctions between new and existare clearly expressed. (l

It is important to retain evidence of the militause of the buildings, in this case marks on do

from wagons and gun carriages. (rig [Allom Lov

New work to the early buildings is clearly distinguishable from the early fabric and has been “inserted” in a clear yet respectful manner.

3ing eft)

ry ors ht)ell]


AN APPROACH TO CONSERATION

■ 12

Similarly, the new buildings make no attempt to mimic or blend with the old structures. While of larger floor plan areas and volumes than the early buildings, they have been designed in a manner which suggests a smaller scale.

3 . 2 P R O C E S S

F O L L O W I N G A L O G I C A L P R O C E S S

Good conservation is assisted by following a logical process of gathering information, assessing cultural significance, designing changes to limit adverse impacts, carrying out work carefully, and keeping records.

K E E P I N G R E C O R D S

Careful records should be made of the state of the relevant building parts before any change is made, of all the work that is undertaken, and of the reasons for decisions. In repairing fabric, evidence may be destroyed and a record of its state beforehand will be needed to ensure that any new material or work is appropriate. New evidence may also be revealed by conservation work, and it is also important to record this. A register of all applications made, and approvals and exemptions received, should be maintained together with relevant design documentation, reports and the like. The register should be updated annually. Conditions of approval should be included so that they can be reviewed and checked-off as they are complied with.

R E V E R S I B I L I T Y

Accepted conservation practice favours making changes so they are readily reversible, and in a way that makes them recognisable as changes. In order to make changes and new fabric clearly recognisable, it is appropriate to continue the architectural language of the recent adaptive work. Imitation of historic details will only act to distort the evidence and is not appropriate. The aim is to encourage the highest quality in design and conservation. The control of the buildings and elements included in the heritage register boundary should not be seen to inhibit the use of the buildings or the manner in which they are further adapted. Instead the cultural significance of the place and the qualities that make it special should be seen to provide enormous opportunities for their continued use.


BUILDING Z1

■ 13

4 BUILDING Z1 (FORMERLY BUILDINGS A & B)

Building Z1 was constructed in 2003 on land which formed part of the parade ground. It incorporates the La Boite theatre in a section called “the Roundhouse” with the remainder of the building called “the Works”. The “theatre in the round” form of La Boite is expressed externally and other theatre facilities – rehearsal space, foyer and offices - are housed in the building together with office accommodation for Creative Industries.

4 . 1 A P P R O V A L S

As a recent structure, Building Z1 is not considered to be culturally significant and therefore can be more readily changed and altered than the remaining early buildings. However, changes which may affect its relationship to those buildings and the views to them and within the precinct, are subject to heritage approval under this document.

Building Z2 was constructed in 2003 in the place of a former engineer’s depot which was demolished as part of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village infrastructure work. It is known as “the Terrace” with the projecting level 5 known as “the Loft”. It houses a basement carpark, computer rooms, studios, seminar rooms, exhibition space, a black box performance space known as “the Loft”, and associated dressing rooms.

BUILDING Z3

■ 17

6 BUILDING Z3 (FORMERLY D/C39)

This building was known as building C39 during the site’s use by the army and was joined to the adjacent building Z4 prior to the Creative Industries development. It was constructed as an Artillery Drill Hall in 1915 as part of the original development of the site.

Its plan form and detailing however is not unlike the nearby Gun Parks, one of which survives as Z5. The building was joined to building Z4, an Artillery Brigade Office, in 1935 by a connecting mess room which was removed as part of the recent work. The combined structure was previously known as Building 39.

6Key plan and photograph

[Allom Lovell]

The building consisted of a large central open space flanked by offices at each end. Pairs of large timber doors from the central section opened onto the parade ground. Prior to the recent redevelopment, the building had undergone various modifications, mostly related to enclosure of part of centre section and the addition of suspended ceilings and partitions. As part of the adaptive work for Creative Industries, a large exhibition space was inserted into the north-east corner of the building. Known as “The Block”, the new structure reads clearly as a separate entity and has no direct internal connection with the existing building which is now known as “The Shed”. Access is via a separate covered entry to the south-east.


BUILDING Z3

■ 18

The remaining part of the early building has been adapted to accommodate a computer studio, testing rooms and store rooms related to fashion design studies. The single-storey building retains its early exposed steel roof trusses. Some early internal walls remain, others have been altered or removed and some new walls have been added. Floors to the central section have been topped with concrete to make them level with the flanking rooms. New services including air-conditioning have been installed. Externally, the remaining section of the building has been conserved and retains most of its early fabric.

6 . 1 S I G N I F I C A N C E

Building Z3 is significant as part of the original development of the Gona Barracks site. It formed a part of the complex of buildings built around a central parade ground in the upper barracks area. As a building type, it is relatively uncommon and regardless of the recent adaptive works and additions, it remains culturally significant for its rarity value.

7 BUILDING Z4 (FORMERLY BUILDING E1/C39)

Building Z4, now also referred to the “The Hut”, was built as a brigade headquarters in 1915, incorporating a lecture room in the centre upper level above accommodation for brigade vehicles and a store. In 1935 it was linked to the adjacent building Z3 by a mess room which was removed as part of the Creative Industries Precinct development. The combined structure was known as building C39.

The building consisted of offices each side of the vehicle shed on the ground floor with the lecture room above. Pairs of large timber doors, in the style of those to the adjacent buildings, opened on to the parade ground.

8Key plan and photograph.

[Allom Lovell]

In the years leading up to the recent redevelopment, various changes had been made. Some of the double timber doors were replaced, one of the rear flights of stairs was removed, the eastern section was modified as part of the 1935 mess infill, and offices were included in the centre section. As part of the Creative Industries work the building reverted to its early form with the mess additions to the east demolished. The centre section on the ground floor became an open office area and the flanking wings offices and a plant room. The lecture room upstairs has been subdivided into offices. A new masonry screen wall was built to the rear (north) side and encloses circulation space and a stair connecting to the two levels.


BUILDING Z4

■ 26

New services including air conditioning have been installed. A raised timber floor was built over the existing concrete slab to the centre section, level with the flanking wings. A new entry was created off the parade ground with a covered ramp. Externally, the building remains generally intact and has been conserved.


Building Z4 is significant as part of the original development of Gona Barracks. It formed a part of the complex of buildings built around a central parade ground in the upper barracks area. As a building type, it is relatively uncommon. Indeed with its central two-storey section, it is different to the other barracks buildings both extant and demolished. Little of its cultural heritage significance was lost with the recent work and it remains significant for its rarity value.




The significant external fabric of building Z4 includes the remaining early elements.

The roof structure and form, the timber fascias, barges and battened eaves

The weatherboard-clad walls. Note that some of the weatherboard cladding was removed to allow installation of insulation. The boards were refitted. Some later openings in early walls were also infilled using salvaged boards (eg. where former Mess Hall additions were removed, part of east wall). Although reworked and repaired as part of the recent work, these walls remain significant.

8 BUILDING Z5 (FORMERLY E2/C33)

Building Z5 is now referred to by Creative Industries as “Shed 2”. It was built in 1915 as a gun park, part of the original development of the site for specialist militia training units. The building was virtually identical to the adjacent building C32, demolished as part of the recent development. The plan form is also similar to that of building C39 (now Z3) with a large central open space used for the storage of artillery guns flanked on each side by rooms used as offices, harness rooms and store rooms.

The centre section had pairs of large timber doors which opened on to the parade ground. These were removed in more recent times and replaced with steel doors. Other changes made included the removal of harness room fittings as well as partitions added to the southern harness room and a section of the central gun park section. Otherwise the building survived largely intact.


[Allom Lovell]

As part of the Creative Industries development the building was adapted to provide accommodation for fashion design students. The later partitions were removed but many of the early walls – including those separating the three sections of the building – were also taken out or opened-up to form essentially a large studio space. Remnants of the front (parade ground) offices were retained as stores and fitting rooms and smaller rooms at the rear for stores. A machine studio was inserted in the centre and projects slightly beyond the former building envelope. The later steel doors were removed and a new glazed screen wall set in behind the line of the early doors. The end spaces have new timber framed mezzanine floors which provide plant

space. The early timber floor to the southern end and the concrete to the central area was replaced with new concrete. New services, including air conditioning have been installed. Externally, as with Building Z3, new roofing was laid over the existing which remains expressed internally. New louvres have been installed in the gable ends for the plant rooms. Otherwise, the exterior remains largely intact and has been conserved.


Building Z5 is significant as part of the original development of Gona Barracks site. It formed a part of the complex of buildings built around a central parade ground in the upper barracks area. As a building type, it is relatively uncommon and less so since the removal of the former building C32. Little of its cultural heritage significance was lost with the recent work and it remains significant for its rarity value.

10 BUILDING Z7 (FORMERLY BUILDING C34)

Building Z7 was constructed in 1914 as an Artificer’s workshop. It was used by army mechanics for repairing wagon wheels and axles and artillery guns, and is a small single storey structure on a concrete base. The timber framed is clad in modern ribbed steel sheet and the gabled roof lined in the same material.

Internally the building has two main rooms, one with a concrete floor, set at a lightly lower level than the other which has timber floor, suggesting that construction may have been in two stages. The building is currently used as a garden shed for site maintenance staff. The eastern section has been painted internally and a new sink has been installed to the western end as part of the recent work. The building exterior was also repaired and repainted.

Building Z9 was probably built in the 1950’s and appear to have been used as a store room. It is a small single-store structure with a timber frame, clad part-height with CGI sheeting and with wire mesh to the upper walls. A lean-to addition to the north is enclosed with wire mesh. The main section has an early concrete floor and in the lean-to a recent slab has been laid. The low pitched roof is timber-framed and lined with new CGI sheet. The exterior was repainted as part of the recent work and the building is now used as a bin store.

PARER PLACE (LOT 903)

12 PARER PLACE (LOT 903)

This section of open space formed part of the Gona barracks parade ground and is described as Lot 903 on SP151277. As part of the 2000 Master Plan for the Kelvin Grove Urban Village site, a large portion of the parade ground was retained with an open 25 metre wide corridor extending the length of the parade ground from north to south and linking open spaces at each end, with Parer Place being the northern space.

17

Key plan and photograph. [Allom Lovell]

The parade ground had been an integral part of the early site and of the operations of Gona Barracks since 1913. The site was not originally level and was reputedly filled during World War II. It had a bitumen surface prior to the recent work undertaken as part of the Creative Industries development. The area was paved, grassed and planted and street furniture, including lighting and seating was provided. Shade structures, incorporating projection facilities, have been built at the eastern end of the space, allowing images to be projected onto building Z2. A coffee shop in building Z1 opens out onto the space, which is used for performances and displays as well as student recreation. Small interpretive plaques relating to the former use of the site by the army are set in the paving.



■ 49

1 2 . 1 S I G N I F I C A N C E

The significance of the former parade ground resides in its scale as one of the largest known parade grounds of its type and period, in the contribution it makes to an understanding of the military use of the site, and in its contribution to the setting of the early buildings which surround it. It also has importance as a place for assembly and parade. As part of the former parade ground, Parer Place provides a setting for the remaining early barracks’ buildings on that part of the site. These buildings and the adjacent open space, together provide a “sense” of the early barracks.

18Views across the parade ground are important.

[Allom Lovell]

This sense of an open parade ground, although reduced to some extent by the recent work remains. Views across the parade ground and between the buildings are significant and should be protected. These are illustrated in the diagram at the end of Chapter 14. The physical fabric in the space, the ground surface treatments, street furniture, planting, and the shade structure, are not significant.

GONA PARADE

13 GONA PARADE

This chapter relates to that section of Gona Parade within the Creative Industries Precinct as defined in Chapter One. It formed part of the Gona Barracks parade ground and abuts Parer Place (Lot 903) to the north and Musk Avenue to the south). As part of the 2000 Master Plan for the Kelvin Grove Urban Village site, a large portion of the parade ground was retained, with an open 25 metre wide corridor, Gona Parade, extending the length of the parade ground from north and south and linking open spaces at each end.

The parade ground had been an integral part of the early site and of the operations of Gona Barracks since 1913. The site was not originally level and was reputedly filled during World War II. It has a bitumen surface prior to the recent work undertaken as part of the Creative Industries development. As part of that work, the area was re-levelled, lowering the southern end to meet the new road cut through the site, Musk Avenue. Gona Parade was paved, grassed and planted.

19Views across the parade ground are important.

Tall palm trees are laid out in a regimented manner and the space remains relatively open. This part of the site is now owned by the Brisbane City Council and is a gazetted road. It remains accessible to services vehicles and some parking is provided.

It also has importance as a place for assembly and parade. As part of the former parade ground, Gona Place connects to the open spaces to the north and south and gives an indication as to the former scale of the parade ground. Views down the length of Gona Parade, particularly where they allow views of the early barracks buildings are significant and should be protected.

14 SPACES BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS (LOT 1)

This chapter deals with the open spaces surrounding the buildings which are part of Lot 1 and not addressed in the other chapters. Some of these open spaces, at parade ground level, are parts of buildings Z1, Z2 and Z3 - the tops of podium floors below which face on to Musk Avenue. The sense of separate free-standing buildings surrounding an open parade ground has largely been retained in the recent development, at least when viewed from with the parade ground. When viewed from Musk Avenue and beyond however, this aspect although originally limited by site topography, has been lost. The spaces between the buildings, particularly the early structures, allow them to be read and interpreted as separate entities and provide views into the parade ground. Surface treatments are simple and plain are mostly consist of concrete paving or grass. Several smaller structures existed on the site prior to the recent work. These included flag poles and latrine buildings.

THE SITE

■ 57

1 4 . 1 S I G N I F I C A N C E

While no early fabric between the buildings remains - surfaces were excavated, filled and resurfaced - it is these open spaces and the views they provide which remain significant. Some archaeological investigation was carried out on the site as part of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village infrastructure works. Further investigation, as part of any future excavation, has not been deemed necessary. An early drinking fountain and hitching rails outside building Z5 have been included in Chapter 8. They were removed during the recent construction and re-established in the new paving. The spaces between the early buildings, the parade ground and the site edges are significant as they allow interpretation of the place as a former army barracks. The spaces between the recent structures are also important as they allow views into and out of the parade ground. Important views and vistas include:

views into the site from Kelvin Grove Road, including views of Z5, Z7 and Z9 and views into the parade ground between them;

views from the northern boundary from the rear of Z3, Z4 and Z9 and between these buildings into the parade ground;

views into the site from Gona Parade;

views into the site from between Z1 and Z2, Z2 and Z3 from the parade ground level;

views between the buildings generally.
