AWM Temporary Carpark Update

An arborist’s report was commissioned by the AWM and has identified 43 trees within the construction zone that will need to be removed and a further 37 trees that may be affected depending on the construction methodology proposed by the successful tenderer for these works. We would not expect all 37 of these trees to be affected but rather a smaller subset of them depending on the approach taken.

The 37 trees that may be “affected” means they may require protection such as fencing or other intervention to preserve them and in fact, it is possible that none of these trees will need to be removed.

A copy of the site study by the arborist is attached for information, the light blue line represents the construction site of the new car park, the darker blue line the area assessed by the arborist as possibly affected by the construction through vibration, vehicle traffic, changes to drainage etc. Note that the size of the car park was reduced by the Memorial after we received this arborist report to ensure the remnant tree (one of the 37 possibly affected trees) to the east of the works would not need to be removed; the trees will be carefully protected and monitored during construction.

People are welcome to contact the AWM at development@awm.gov.au with questions or for further information.

Australian War Memorial: Early Works Community Consultation 24 July

​Purdon Planning has been engaged by the Australian War Memorial to assist with community engagement and approvals for the Early Works component of the Australian War Memorial Redevelopment.

The first stage of early works includes extension to the Memorial’s underground car park. Additionally, a temporary on site car park will be constructed at the rear of Poppy’s Cafe, to provide an area for construction and contractor parking. Currently, all early works will be within the Memorial site. Once the Memorial expansion has concluded, the temporary car parking area is intended to be restored to a landscaped communal area for all visitors.

Below is a flyer which has been delivered to residents around the Memorial. It includes an invitation to a drop-in session to be held on Wednesday the 24th of July 2019 at the BAE Systems Theatre, Australian War Memorial. The Memorial invites the Campbell Residents Association to attend.

Update on Trees in the Park

​The new trees in the park behind the Campbell shops are thriving in their new home.  Thanks so much to all the volunteers who showed up to help with the planting. I’m attaching a couple of site maps showing both the botanical names for the new trees and also the names given to each of the trees by the volunteers who planted them.  

Hopefully this is just the start of many more happy planting days to come!

NCA Community Meeting Snapshot

Thank you to the residents who were able to attend the NCA discussion forum hosted at the NCA offices on the 7th and 16th May 2019. 

In summary:

​Hindmarsh have produced an illustration of the building height (download here), which is said to describe the height from the curb surrounding #71 Constitution Ave block.  The blue shows the area within the 25 metre height restriction.  

Community consultation with the ex-CSIRO development are in progress.  The building has been demolished and plans, as we understand, are to build two 8 storey residential apartment blocks plus townhouse.  

No plans have been made to remove Remembrance Park behind the AWM, however talk about converting it to a car park as still alive.   

A development application or Academy Close is expected to be submitted soon.

You are invited to use this letter as a basis for your own submission, or simply send it in to the NCA with your endorsement if you agree with it. I apologise for prematurely posting the letter yesterday which was drafted before our hardworking Campbell planning boffins had fully got their heads around the latest plans submitted by Hindmarsh.
