Mount Macedon Heritage Assessment |
Argus Building Historical Background Study Way Back When was employed by La Trobe University to compile a comprehensive history of the site. This research focuses on the occupation and built fabric of the site at various periods and considers events and people that have been linked to the property, in particular its association with one of the nation’s great newspapers that gives this building special significance. |
Beersheba Barracks Wangaratta Heritage Maintenance Plan
The Beersheba Barracks site is representative of the history of the Army in Wangaratta and, as many of the buildings and sites that tie Wangaratta to its military past no longer exist, the site is highly significant as one of the last remaining symbols of this long association. This research required the use of a range of records in the national archives and state records, as well as consultation with local historical societies, Returned Services League branches and various military museums. |
This project was commissioned by Heritage Victoria to develop a framework for assessing places and objects of significance to post World War Two migrants and migrant communities in Victoria. Way Back When worked as a part of a project team led by Context on the preparation of a thematic history, which involved detailed research into Victoria's built heritage and comprehensive analysis of immigration policy in Victoria and Australia in the post war period.
Way Back When has worked closely with Andrew Long & Associates on some 25 Cultural Heritage Management Plans and site histories, focussing on post contact land use of specific localities including sites in Frankston, Cranbourne, Shaw River, Keysborough, Geelong, Ouyen, Chiltern, Wangaratta, Seaspray, Tootgarook, Dromana, Rosebud West, Sale, Fitzroy and central Melbourne. 
Way Back When worked with architectural firm Woodhead International to compile a historical summary of land at Mount Macedon, as part of a heritage assessment. Incorporating pre and post European contact research, the report includes the main elements of the site's heritage significance and land use. 
The historic Argus building, on the corner of Elizabeth and La Trobe streets, was constructed in 1926 and for 30 years housed one of Melbourne's oldest newspapers. The building is classified by the National Trust and Heritage Victoria and has been the scene of many great events. 
Way Back When worked as a part of a project team led by architectural and design firm Woodhead International to undertake research into the history of the Beersheba Barracks site in Wangaratta, Victoria. The historical summary that was prepared formed part of a Heritage Maintenance Plan to identify the historical value and significance of the site in order to inform decisions about the site's maintenance and management.
