Of the four sites containing heritage listed trees two are covered by existing Conservation Management Plans and the remaining two schools have been provided with plans for the purposes of displaying in the maintenance foyer area of each school.
5) Of the schools which have heritage listed buildings two have Heritage approved Conservation Management Plans and one school has a draft Conservation Management Plan completed in June 2017. A revised Conservation Management Plan is currently being developed for Ainslie School to reflect current condition of the heritage buildings.
Schools containing only heritage listed trees do not have a Conservation Management Plan.
6) The “Heritage Assets Located on School Sites” fact sheet was a draft document that was not adopted by the Education Directorate. The requirement for an annual review of conservation management plans was also not adopted and is not required under the Heritage Act, which requires three yearly reviews. The remaining factsheet content is being developed into an additional module for inclusion in the School Management Manual in 2020, which will include the Heritage Act requirements for the 3-yearly review of conservation management plans. As an interim measure heritage reports in the form of Conservation Management Plans and approved Heritage Register documents were issued to the relevant schools in October 2019.
7) Under the Heritage Act 2004, Section 108 a Conservation Management Plan must be submitted to the Heritage Council every three years beginning in 2014. In Section 108 item (3), the heritage report/Conservation Management Plan “does not need to include details about a heritage place or object if details … were included in the previous heritage report to the council” i.e. if the Conservation Management Plan has not changed it can remain in place. Subsequently the only Conservation Management Plan to be updated and resubmitted in 2017 was for Giralang Primary School architectural assets.
8) The “Contractor Induction checklist” was updated in May 2017 to raise awareness of heritage assets located on school sites.
9) The Directorate is currently developing a data base of registered and non-registered culturally modified trees. Parks and Conservation will assist with confirming how these trees were scarred and recommend maintenance requirements moving forward.
