General notes:
Graeme Butler made submission to the newly formed Historic Buildings Preservation Councl seeking registration of a list of CBD buildings in the City of Melbourne in October 1975.The recent Historic Buildings Act, 1974 provided the platform for this submission and many National Trust Of Australia (Vic) classified buildings, mainly from the 19th century, formed the first Historic Buildings Register. Butler and Tonkin had been campaigning for and researching 20th century CBD buildings and the Graeme Butler submission was the result.Faced with a large list of nominated CBD heritage places the Historic Buildings Preservation Council initiated a number of urban conservation studies covering the CBD of Melbourne. Consultants chosen included well known practitioners in the heritage area such as John & Phyllis Murphy and Keith & John Reid, architects and townscape consultants, as well as established town planning and architectural firms such as Perrott Lyon Timlock and Kesa, Lawrie Wilson & Associates, Yuncken Freeman Architects Pty Ltd architects &planners and Daryl Jackson Evan Walker Architects Pty Ltd. Other chosen consultants were less established, being part of a new breed of heritage architects, these included Nigel Lewis and Alan Willingham.The National Trust of Australia (Vic) had been applying pressure for appropriate heritage management of the CBD over many years, accusing the City of Melbourne of refusing to take up their obligations under the planning act to protect historic buildings within the planning ambit. The new Historic Buildings Preservation Council acted swiftly, commissioning these key reports in the history of Melbourne’s cultural preservation.
