Dear all,

 

Although the previous email was regarding parks or rides in Britain with any listing, I thought it might be of interest to give a couple of Australian examples.

 

Luna Park, on the harbour in Sydney (some of you may be familiar with it's entrance as a big smiling face), has several heritage listings by local and State government agencies. These can be viewed at http://www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/07_subnav_04_1.cfm

The listings include all sorts or murals, signs, stands, games the sea wall and fig trees. Some elements of the Park are also listed on the Register of the National Estate. A federal listing (National Heritage List) was sought last year for Sydney's Luna Park although a decision was made by the Minister for it not to go ahead. This would have put it up with Uluru and the Sydney Opera House in terms of a National heritage significance

 

The Luna Park in St Kilda Victoria, has been nominated to be assessed under the criteria of the National Heritage List, but as far as I am aware no decisions have been made yet. The national listings can be found at

 

In terms of recording and significance assessment, there would certainly be some supporting documentation for these items.

 

Cheers,
