Goulburn Jewish Cemetery and Cultural Landscape Conservation Management Plan CMP - Final Draft Vols 1 and 2
Item
This two volume Conservation Management Plan for the Goulburn Jewish Cemetery and Cultural Landscape, which is listed on the State Heritage Register, was researched, and authored by a specialist heritage consultant team, assisted by a grant from Heritage NSW.
The Goulburn Jewish Cemetery and Cultural Landscape provides significant historic evidence about the nature of the colonial era community in the area at the time of its establishment over 175 years ago. The monuments are a direct record of the local area's prominent pioneer Jewish families, and notable citizens involved in commerce, hotels, and civic life. The cemetery is the major surviving physical evidence of the former strength of the Jewish community in the local area and surrounding region during the nineteenth century. The CMP undertook new historic and physical research, including detailed analysis of the surviving monuments, as well as landscape and archaeological assessment.
The CMP found there has been far greater displacement and movement of cemetery fabric than was previously recognised.
This CMP provides an Interpretative Strategy for the place and also outlines relevant legislation and other recognised guidelines before examining the requirements, and constraints arising from the heritage significance of the cemetery and its physical condition.
This is followed by a Conservation Policy, for the future care and management of the place. Recommendations are made about how the Conservation Policy is to be implemented, including actions for the monuments, for the site including its archaeology and grounds; and the sequence and timing of proposed works, indicative costs, and the technical expertise required.
