Assignment 2: e-Role Play
This assignment concerns decision making in the built
environment,
and the various stake-holders who make decisions affecting the built
environment.
After forming an e-role play group within the Tutorial group,
research
and analyse the likely points for and against the proposal, and really
put yourself in the shoes of the person you are playing. (Give them an
identity, and a personality. Write your responses as if they were
talking.
Adopt their style of speech, and vocabulary)
Through (at least) weekly contributions to the e-role play Bulletin
Board, build up a 'point-of-view' response for your role.
Prepare suitable electronic graphic material (such as a Power Point
presentation) to submit to the vGallery as directed by the MyUni e-role
play.
TOPICS
1. Permanent demolition protection for heritage buildings
Rainer Jozeps, director of the National Trust in South Australia, "is
taking a 'back to the future' approach by demanding demolition
protection
for all heritage properties", Bryan Moulds, from the Property Council,
warns. "It's a 1970s approach to put a clamp on development" Bryan
Moulds
said.
City Messenger, 5th March 2003, page
7.
Does Moulds hold a warranted perspective?
Is the current
system
of heritage protection adequate?

2. Erecting Adelaide Oval Lights
"After years of litigation concerning the collapse of the retractable
light towers planned for, and erected at Adelaide oval to facilitate
Day/Night
cricket and other night matches, permanent light towers were erected at
the Oval this year".
City Messenger, 13th December 2000, pages
1,
5.
Should they be there?
Are they a blight to the city skyline, or a
necessity
in securing international sporting fixtures in Adelaide?
What are
the continuing issues in 2004 relating to the increased usage of
Adelaide
Oval for night fixtures?
Has the SACA investment in the Adelaide Oval increased the disruption
for local residents through a necessary increase in the number of
eevents at the Oval to justify that investment?

3. General Havelock Hotel extension to
trading
hours
Whilst General Havelock Hotel owner Henry Mould has been trying
unsuccessfully
to extend trading hours to 1am on Friday and Saturday nights, local
residents,
concerned by 'sleepless late nights and patrons behaving badly' have
mounted
a successful opposition to the proposal.
City Messenger, 6th December 2000, page11
What are the various points of view here?
Do new residents
moving
onto city areas have a right to expect 'quiet enjoyment of their
property?'
Can design improvements overcome resident's concerns?
Are there other Hotels in the City and North Adelaide experiencing
these issues related to differing expectations of various stakeholders?

4. Save Our Adelaide Suburbs
A Save Our Adelaide Suburbs (SOAS) Annual Meeting was told "Policies
encouraging subdivisions, smaller townhouses and apartments were
'depriving families of these areas [suburbs with large blocks] to live
in'".
City Messenger, 10th April 2002, page
11.
What is the Save our Adelaide Suburbs campaign?
Who is
best
served by this movement?
Is it simply a means of the existing
residents
preventing anyone else moving into their suburb?
Should new residents
have
an expectation of affordable access to established suburbs?

5. Upgrading to Victoria Park featuring permanent
facilities
for Car and horse Racing
The Advertiser January 3 2001
had a front page story about 'an
upgrading
of Victoria Park featuring permanent facilities for car racing plus new
grandstands and lighting for twilight horse racing'. However,
Victoria
Park is situated in the East Parklands.
What are the issues concerning 'development' in the Parklands?
The
roles selected should represent all view points.
Why has Adelaide City Council
deferred its decision relating to paying
$2million “towards a new grandstand [at Victoria Park] until after
options
to expand it into a multipurpose venue are explored”?
City Messenger, 5th March 2003, page
3.
Will the introduction of proposed
flood water mitigation wetland in the southeast corner of the parklands
have an impact on the proposal?
