APPLYING THE BURRA CHARTER PROCESS:
WHAT IS BURRA CHARTER?
THE BURRA CHARTER DEFINES A SET OF PRINCIPLES TO CREATE A NATIONALLY RECOGNISED GUIDELINE FOR THE CONSERVATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT & HERITAGE PLACES.
THE BURRA CHARTER WAS FIRST ADOPTED BY ICOMOS CHARTER FOR THE CONSERVATION OF PLACES OR CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IN
1979
PRINCIPLES AND OUTCOMES ADOPTED IN PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
ARTICLE 22 - NEW WORK
QUOTE: "New work maybe acceptable where it does not distort or obscure"..."or detract from its interpretation" (ICOMOS, 2013).
QUOTE: New work maybe sympathetic in its setting (ICOMOS, 2013).
The proposed new works are compatible and readily identifiable (ICOMOS, 2013), as such, do not mimic existing fabric and styles. This is in
accordance with AO.7.2 of the Cooroy Local Plan Code. The new works celebrate and complement Cooroy's identity through siting, bulk, form,
scale, character, colour, texture, and material (ICOMOS, 2013).
Acceptable Outcome 5.2 of the Cooroy Local Plan Code has been a strong focus point in these proposed works. By providing a landscape
buffer of native vegetation between the public footpath and site boundary, the visual setting and contribution towards the setting, character
plan, and the public realm is emphasised. Furthermore, the new works retain and enhance key heritage elements by selectively removing
undesired trees that can pose a threat to existing structures on site and surrounding context.
ARTICLE 4 - KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
Traditional techniques and materials are preferable (ICOMOS, 2013) for new works involving culturally significant places or fabric. A modern
approach to traditional techniques & materials is also demonstrating there is merit in reflecting the significant place and fabric. This reflection
in the proposed works is achieved through the incorporation of traditional linear board (matching weatherboard profile) as the predominant
building fabric, with a painted masonry base construction to the lower level. The architecture adopts traditional detailing throughout the site to
better reflect the regional Queensland vernacular and traditional characteristics along Maple and Myall Street.
