The Institute congratulates former NSW Chapter President Shaun Carter and the Save Our Sirius team following last week\u2019s ruling by the NSW Land and Environment Court that the government\u2019s decision not to heritage list the Sirius public housing building was invalid. The verdict stated that the then Minister for Environment and Heritage, Mark Speakman, had not properly considered a recommendation by the heritage council to list it on the register.<\/p>\n

Though the Sirius building remains unlisted, this ruling renders the existing decision invalid and the government has been ordered to remake a decision based on law. The case was brought to court by the Millers Point Community Association as part of the Save Our Sirius campaign group, chaired by immediate past NSW Chapter President, Shaun Carter.  <\/p>\n

Of the decision Shaun Carter said, \u201cIf not challenged, the Minister\u2019s decision could have gutted the Heritage Act. An Act designed to lift factors like society and culture, above financial considerations when determining heritage. The win means a precedent has been created that strengthens the Heritage Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a win for Sirius, a win for the residents and local community, but as importantly, a win for all citizens of NSW. I am personally heartened by the incredible support of our architectural community. Your generosity in supporting our Court action, in turning up to rallies, tours and exhibitions has been nothing short of inspirational. This is the Institute and the membership at its finest, and I am very proud to have played a part in this glorious public advocacy. I sincerely thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSW Chapter President Andrew Nimmo said \u201cThis was a wonderful example of crowd funded community activism which the Australian Institute of Architects was proud to support.  It has raised the profile of architecture, architects and the Institute and that can only be good for our profession.\u201d<\/p>\n
