Vegetation Management Act 1999 - Extract from the essential habitat database
Essential habitat is required for assessment under the:
• State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8: Native vegetation clearing which sets out the matters of interest to the state for development assessment under the Sustainable Planning
Act 2009; and
• Self-assessable vegetation clearing codes made under the Vegetation Management Act 1999
Essential habitat for one or more of the following species is found on and within 1.1 km of the identified subject lot/s or on and within 2.2 km of an identified coordinate on the accompanying essential habitat
map.
This report identifies essential habitat in Category A, B and Category C areas.
The numeric labels on the essential habitat map can be cross referenced with the database below to determine which essential habitat factors might exist for a particular species.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines website (http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au) has more information on how the layer is applied under the State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8:
Native vegetation clearing and the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated.
Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means a category A area, a category B area or category C area shown on the regulated vegetation management map1) (a) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat
database; or
2) (b) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
Essential habitat identifies endangered or vulnerable native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1994.

Criterion A
The University of Queensland, established in 1909,
commemorates Queensland's 50th anniversary of its
separation from the colony of New South Wales. As the
state's first university, it demonstrates the gradual evolution
of higher education in Queensland, which was considered a
low budget priority despite recommendations made to the
Government as early as the 1870's.
The selection of a permanent site for the university was the
subject of intense government and community debate in
1926. The eventual acquisition of land at St Lucia is strongly
associated with Dr James O'Neil Mayne and his sister, Mary
Emilia Mayne who made £50 000 available for the Brisbane
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/friendlyDetailVersion.html?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=15800[17/11/2014 4:16:58 PM]

City Council to purchase the property. In 1935, its Silver
Jubilee year, the University decided to commence
construction at the St Lucia site. The project was one of the
Forgan Smith government's major developments of the
1930's depression years, specifically aimed at creating
employment. The premier's involvement is commemorated in
the naming of the first completed building on the site.
Between 1942 and 1945 the university played an important
role in the activities of the Second World War when General
Sir Thomas Blamey, head of the Australian Defence Forces,
established the Forgan Smith Building as the Land
Headquarters.
Criterion C
(Criterion under review)
Criterion D
The layout of the Great Court complex is the clearest and
most intact example in Australia of a university set out in
accordance with the innovative American collegiate planning
principles introduced by Thomas Jefferson in the early 1800's.
The Jeffersonian concept of an academic village is clearly
demonstrated in the complex by the large, open central
courtyard that is surrounded by interspersed pavilions
representing different disciplines, linked together by internal
colonnades. From its location on the highest rise of the land
overlooking the surrounding campus buildings, the Great
Court is regarded as an important visual symbol of and
central core to the University of Queensland.
Criterion E
Built over a forty year period between 1937 and 1979, the
Great Court Complex is significant both architecturally and
aesthetically as an extensive and distinctive example of Art
Deco styling. Uniformity is an important attribute of the
complex, demonstrated not only by congenial characteristics
such as monumental scale and form, strong horizontal and
vertical lines, and materials but also the abundant sculptural
work such as friezes, statues, and grotesques depicting
significant individuals and events in the history of the State,
the Commonwealth and the University. The public interiors of
the individual buildings, particularly those in the Forgan
Smith Building, are of notable interest for the high quality
detailing of its materials and finishes harmoniously executed
in the same style as the exteriors.
Criterion G
From its location on the highest rise of the land overlooking
the surrounding campus buildings, the Great Court is
regarded as an important visual symbol of and central core
to the University of Queensland. Due to this symbolism, the
complex has a strong association with past and present
students and faculty members throughout the state.
Criterion H
The University of Queensland, Great Court Complex has a
special association with the work of Hennessy, Hennessy &
Co, prominent Australian architects with offices in Brisbane
and Sydney, who were responsible for designing a number of
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/friendlyDetailVersion.html?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=15800[17/11/2014 4:16:58 PM]
Registers and Inventories
institutional and educational complexes throughout Australia
during the 1920's and 30's. The original design for the
university is regarded as their most aspiring proposal in
Queensland and although not completed in its entirely, the
Great Court complex part of the University generally
conforms to the original plan.
The Great Court Complex also has a strong association with
the notable craftsman, John Theodore Muller, a German
stonemason responsible for completing much of the Great
Court sculpture between 1939 and 1953 including the
statues, friezes on the Forgan Smith and Steele Buildings:
the distinctive frieze of prehistoric life on the Richards
Building; and about half of the grotesques, coats of arms,
arches and roundels. The sculptured works form an integral
part of the Great Court Complex and represent an immense
undertaking in stone.
History
History
Proposals for a university in Queensland began in the 1870s.
A Royal Commission in 1874, chaired by Sir Charles Lilley,
recommended the immediate establishment of a university.
Those against a university argued that technical rather than
academic education was more important in an economy
dominated by primary industry. Those in favour of the
university, in the face of this opposition, distanced
themselves from Oxford and Cambridge and proposed
instead a model derived from the mid-western states of the
USA. A second Royal Commission in 1891 recommended the
inclusion of five faculties in a new university; Arts, Law,
Medicine, Science and Applied Science. Education generally
was given a low priority in Queensland's budgets, and in a
colony with a literacy rate of 57% in 1861, primary education
was the first concern well ahead of secondary and technical
education. The government, despite the findings of the Royal
Commissions, was unwilling to commit funds to the
establishment of a university.
In 1893 the Queensland University Extension Movement was
begun by a group of private individuals who organised public
lecture courses in adult education, hoping to excite wider
community support for a university in Queensland. In 1894,
245 students were enrolled in the extension classes and the
lectures were described as practical and useful. In 1906 the
University Extension Movement staged the University
Congress, a forum for interested delegates to promote the
idea of a university. Opinion was mobilised, a fund was
started and a draft Bill for a Queensland University was
prepared. Stress was laid on the practical aspects of

university education and its importance for the commerce of
Queensland. The proceedings of the Congress were
forwarded to Premier Kidston. In October 1906, sixty acres
in Victoria Park were gazetted for university purposes
The University of Queensland was established by an Act of
State Parliament on December 10, 1909 to commemorate
the 50th anniversary of Queensland's separation from the
colony of New South Wales. The Act allowed for the
university to be governed by a senate of 20 men and Sir
William MacGregor, the incoming Governor, was appointed
the first chancellor with RH Roe as the vice chancellor. Old
Government House [600118] in George Street was set aside
for the University following the departure of the Governor to
the Bardon residence, Fernberg [600275], sparking the first
debates about the best location for the university.
In 1910 the first teaching faculties were created. These
included Engineering, Classics, Mathematics and Chemistry.
In December of the same year, the Senate appointed the
first four professors; BD Steele in chemistry, JL Michie in
classics, H. Priestly in mathematics and A Gibson in
engineering. In 1911 the first students enrolled.
Practically from the start there was controversy about a
permanent site for the University. Old Government House
was too small and was seen by many as evidence merely of
government parsimony. There was not much room for
expansion and there were conflicts with the neighbouring
Brisbane Central Technical College. Victoria Park had been
chosen in 1906 for a permanent site and in 1922 a further
170 acres were vested in the University. The high cost of
preparing the steeply sloping land at Victoria Park for building
made it a less than ideal site despite its central location and
proximity to the Royal Brisbane Hospital. Yeronga Park and
St Lucia were considered as options. But in 1926 the whole
issue was transformed when Dr James O'Neil Mayne and Miss
Mary Emilia Mayne made £50,000 available to the Brisbane
City Council to resume land at St Lucia and present it to the
University. Opinion was divided with Professor Steele and
many members of the medical profession against St Lucia
because of its isolation and lack of public transport. A
meeting of the Senate, on the 10 December, voted for the
St Lucia site on the condition that the city council provided
access. Those voting for St Lucia included Archbishop Duhig,
EJD Stanley, ACV Melbourne and Professor Richards. Dr
Lockhart Gibson, Chancellor AJ Thynne and Archbishop Sharp
were amongst those who voted for Victoria Park. In 1930
the Senate handed over Victoria Park, less eleven acres
reserved for a medical school, to the Brisbane City Council in
exchange for the St Lucia site.

During the years of the Depression that followed the
university suffered progressive reduction of government
funding. Cuts were made to both staff salaries and numbers
while student numbers trebled between 1923 and 1933.
There was no prospect of building the new university until
1935 when the Premier, W. Forgan Smith, announced that
the Queensland government would undertake construction at
St Lucia. This was one of the three major development
projects initiated in the mid 1930s by the Queensland
government to create employment, the others being the
Stanley River Dam and the Story Bridge [600240]. The
University Senate called for and received schemes from
various enthusiasts, including Professor Hawken, Dr FW
Robinson, AB Leven and Dr JJC Bradfield. Taking ideas from
these suggestions the Senate committee produced its own
preliminary design. The principle building, containing Arts,
Law and administration, was E-shaped and enclosed one side
of an arcaded quadrangle. Related outer buildings contained
Engineering, Biology, Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Geology,
a museum and a teachers' training college. The Queensland
government, despite hopes for a competition, appointed the
Sydney firm of Hennessy, Hennessy & Co as architects for
the project; and Jack Francis Hennessy (1887-1955)
produced the coherent and logical plan that still lies at the
heart of the University.
The foundation stone was laid in 1937 by Forgan Smith but it
was another year before building commenced. Construction
began in March 1938 with the main building, now known as
the Forgan Smith Building, and was followed shortly
afterward with the lower floors of the library and the
Chemistry building. It was to proceed, due to financial
constraints, in stages clockwise around the court.
Work was disrupted by the Second World War. The main
building served its first use, from 1942-1944, as the
headquarters of General Sir Thomas Blamey (head of the
Australian Defence forces). The army evacuated the building
and work re-commenced by 1948. The Forgan Smith
Building was officially opened in May 1949 by Premier
Hanlon. The Duhig Library (two-stories only and named for
Archbishop Sir James Duhig) was also ready by this time, as
was the Steele Building (named for the first professor of
chemistry, Professor Bertram Steele).
In 1951 the Richards Building (named for the first professor
of geology, Henry Casselli Richards) was completed. In 1955
the Parnell Building (named for the inaugural professor of
physics, Thomas Parnell) and an addition to the west wing of
the Forgan Smith Building were completed. In 1962, jointly
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/friendlyDetailVersion.html?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=15800[17/11/2014 4:16:58 PM]
Registers and Inventories
funded by state and commonwealth governments, the
Goddard Building (named for the second professor of biology,
Ernest Jones Goddard) was completed. In 1965 three extra
floors were added to the Duhig Library to the design of
James Birrell.
The final building at the western end of the Forgan Smith
was to have been a Great Hall. JD Story, the vice chancellor
from 1938 until 1960, proposed in 1959 that this be replaced
by a western Arts building and in 1972 construction began on
the Michie Building (named for first the professor of classics,
J.L. Michie). The state government announced in 1974 that it
would provide the funding to clad the building in sandstone.
The Michie Building was completed in 1978.
In March 1979 the colonnade between the Michie Building
and the Goddard Building was completed enclosing the Great
Court Complex.
A number of changes have been made over the years to the
Great Court Complex. Some of buildings have been
augmented or altered: there are various structures on top of
the Goddard Building, and a new, discreet addition to the
Law Library at the western end of the Forgan Smith Building
which was designed by Robert Riddell. Perhaps the most
significant change is that the planting within the Court is less
formal than originally intended, and takes little account of
Hennessy's plans for strong visual axes to tie the whole
Court together. Notable also in this respect are Professor
Gareth Robert's master plan for the university which involved
the closing of the circular drive and the placement of the
Main Library and the Great Hall in front of the Forgan Smith
Building.
The Sculptors:
As part of Hennessy, Hennessy & Co's original concept, it was
intended that the Great Court would include extensive
sculptural work portraying historical panels, statues, coats of
arms and panels of Australian plant and animal life. Many of
the designs were done by Leo Drinan, who was the principle
architect with Hennessy, Hennessy & Co. Work on the
sculptures began in 1939, with German born John Theodore
Muller and Frederick James McGowan as the principle
stonemasons. Work was halted by the war in 1942 and
McGowan died before it resumed three years later. Muller
continued to carve until his death at more than 80 years of
age, in 1953. At the time of his death all of the friezes,
most of the statues, and half of the grotesques, coats of
arms, arches and roundels were completed.
Carving virtually stopped at the University after Muller's
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/friendlyDetailVersion.html?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=15800[17/11/2014 4:16:58 PM]

death and resumed only after the Michie Building was under
construction. A competition amongst several Queensland
sculptors in 1976 led to the commissioning of Mrs Rhyl
Hinwood. Mrs Hinwood has since continued to carve
numerous grotesques and coats of arms for the Court, as
well as the two monumental figures at the main entrance to
the Goddard Building.
Description
Description
The Great Court Complex is set on the high ground in the
centre of a site enclosed by Cemetery Reach, a bend in the
Brisbane River, on the northern, eastern and southern sides,
and St Lucia, a residential suburb, on the west. The Court,
approximately semicircular in plan with eight unequal sides, is
an open grassed space planted intermittently with trees and
shrubs and intersected by an axially placed path. The
perimeter of the court consists of a continuous colonnade
that links five detached buildings, all clad in Helidon
sandstone of varying colours ranging from rich purples
through to creams and browns. The largest of these, forming
the long northern side of the court, is really a complex of
three attached buildings. It consists of the centrally located
Forgan Smith Building, flanked by the Michie Building at the
western end and Duhig Library to the east. The other
buildings which face onto the central court are, moving
around the perimeter clockwise from the Duhig Library, the
Steele Building, the Richards Building, the Parnell Building
and the Goddard Building.

Criterion A
Union College marks an important stage in the modern
development of the University of Queensland. An innovative
residential college designed in 1963, it was modern and
functional in concept and construction and responds to the
vegetation and topography of its site. It marked a departure
from college design on this campus and reflected
international ideas on architecture.
Criterion E
Union College was highly praised at the time of its building
as visually pleasing, well conceived and innovative structure.

The design was innovative in its interaction with the site, in
its form and use of materials and represented a high degree
of creative achievement, recognised by a High Commendation
award by Arts and Architecture journal as one of the best ten
new buildings in Australia at the time.
Criterion G
Union College has social significance as an important
component of university life to the many people who have
resided there as students or as teachers and administrators.
It also represented a departure from tradition in the provision
of a modern lifestyle for students and as the first residential
college in Queensland to offer accommodation to both men
and women.
Criterion H
Union College is important as a major work of James Birrell,
an architect of national stature and repute, and is evidence
of his thought and practice. Birrell was Staff Architect for the
University of Queensland when he selected the site and
designed Union College and was involved with the master
planning of the campus. He had a design philosophy that
integrated structures and landscape as evidenced by this
building. The work of James Birrell, particularly for the
Brisbane City Council and the University of Queensland is
widely held to be influential and innovative.
History
History
The Union College building at the University of Queensland
campus was built in five major stages between 1964 and
1972 to the design of James Birrell, Staff Architect for the
University between 1961 and 1966.
Proposals for a Queensland university were first made in the
1870s, but the idea did not have strong public or government
support in a new colony where tertiary education was not a
funding priority. An Act of State Parliament eventually
established the new University of Queensland on December
10, 1909. Sir William MacGregor, the incoming Governor of
Queensland, was appointed as the first Chancellor. Before his
arrival, it had been decided to purchase and renovate
'Fernberg', a house at Bardon, as the new Government House
and to use the vacated government residence and part of its
grounds at Gardens Point for the University. This was a
controversial decision and many thought that the building
and domain were unsuitable and too small for the purpose.
There was little room for expansion and there were conflicts
with the neighbouring Brisbane Central Technical College. In
1910 the first teaching faculties were created and in early
1911 the first students enrolled, although relocation was
already being discussed.
Victoria Park had been chosen in 1906 as a campus site,
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/...2vLhGmGr3LgwdjwPpnnt42GpgbMBGn7cvG!148583688?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=4067[18/11/2014 9:15:37 AM]

though the high cost of preparing the steeply sloping land for
building presented problems and Yeronga Park and St Lucia
were also considered as options. In 1926 the difficulty of
obtaining a suitable permanent site was solved when Dr
James Mayne and Miss Mary Mayne made £50,000 available
to the Brisbane City Council to resume land at St Lucia and
present it to the University. In 1930 the University Senate
handed over Victoria Park, less eleven acres reserved for a
medical school, to the Brisbane City Council in exchange for
the St Lucia site.
During the years of the Depression that followed, government
funding and staff numbers were reduced, although student
enrolments trebled between 1923 and 1933. There was no
prospect of building on the new site until 1935 when the
Premier, W. Forgan Smith, announced that the Queensland
government would undertake construction. The University
Senate committee produced a preliminary design and the
Sydney firm of Hennessy, Hennessy & Co was appointed as
architects for the project. They produced the Great Court
plan with its sandstone, classically inspired buildings that
remains central to the University and which influenced later
building.
The foundation stone was laid in 1937 but the Second World
War disrupted work and the main building was used as the
headquarters of General Sir Thomas Blamey, head of the
Australian Defence forces. Work had re-commenced by 1948
and the Forgan Smith Building was officially opened in May
1949 followed by other major buildings of the Great Court in
the 1950s and 60s.
Residential Colleges to accommodate the students had been
established for some time on the edges of the inner city area
but it was intended that they should relocate when
permanent sites were available on the new campus. Sites
had been allocated for Emmanuel, St John's, King's, St Leo's,
Duchesne and Women's Colleges, although the war had
halted construction plans, as it had the development of the
University buildings. Religious institutions ran all but
Women's College and all accommodated only a single gender.
In 1943 the University of Queensland Student's Union
planned a non-denominational Union College as an alternative
to traditional religious colleges. It was expected that after the
war student numbers would increase greatly and that
accommodation would be in short supply. A Student Housing
Committee was formed. It was intended that the new college
should be owned by the Union, run by a Warden elected by
the students and approved by the university Senate, and
governed by a representative body of students. However,
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/...2vLhGmGr3LgwdjwPpnnt42GpgbMBGn7cvG!148583688?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=4067[18/11/2014 9:15:37 AM]

land had only been allocated at St Lucia for the six colleges
existing when plans were drawn up in the 1930s. High
building costs also delayed the construction of a new building
and the Union opened a student hostel in rented premises in
Wickham Terrace in 1947. By 1950 the hostel had gained
College status and in 1952, the Union requested that land be
allocated for the college on the St Lucia campus. Land
opposite the St John's College site and bordered by the no 1
oval and a grove of native trees was reserved for Union
College in December 1952. Building schemes were considered
in 1953, but the cost was too great and the Union purchased
two large houses in Wickham Terrace in April 1956, after the
premises they had formerly rented was sold.
In January 1958, a sub committee was set up to consider
building schemes, though these could not be implemented
until the 1963-66 triennium. The buildings at Wickham
Terrace had proved to be a good investment and the loan
was paid out by 1960. It was decided to survey the St Lucia
site, though the University's Staff Architect, James Birrell,
questioned its suitability. He suggested that 'if the Union
College were built along the west frontage of the Tree
Reserve in buildings artfully arranged to avoid destruction of
trees, it would be on elevated ground, not overlooked by
surrounding country, associated only with residential
development and on good foundation.' This new site was
approved and transferred to the college in December and
Birrell began preparation of plans for the college.
James Peter Birrell was born in Melbourne and studied
architecture at Melbourne Technical College. Following World
War Two he worked as a draughtsman for the State, then
the Commonwealth Works Departments. As a cadet architect
with the Commonwealth Department of Works he was
accepted as a fourth year student at the University of
Melbourne. After graduating in 1951 he graduated and
worked briefly as Resident Architect at the Commonwealth
Serum Laboratories. In 1952 he co-founded Architecture and
Arts with Peter Burns, Helen O'Donnell and Norman Lehey.
Transferred to Canberra, he worked on the design of schools,
telephone exchanges, group housing, and alterations to the
Canberra Repertory Theatre. Moving back to Melbourne in
1953, he worked on post office buildings. Birrell exhibited
with the Contemporary Art Society and helped to organise a
tour for them before being transferred to Darwin to take
charge of the Commonwealth Department drawing office.
Here he designed schools, hospital extensions, shopping
centres and various ancillary structures.
In 1955 he resigned from the Commonwealth Works
Department and was appointed Architect in Charge of the
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/...2vLhGmGr3LgwdjwPpnnt42GpgbMBGn7cvG!148583688?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=4067[18/11/2014 9:15:37 AM]

drawing office of the Brisbane City Council's Architectural
Branch. While with the Council, he designed a large number
of public buildings, many of which were illustrated in national
design journals, and included such innovative buildings as the
Toowong Municipal Library [602011], the Centenary Pool
[601240] and the Wickham Terrace Car Park [601511].
Birrell was Architect to the University of Queensland from
1961-66, overseeing the university's second major phase of
construction development. Beginning part time lecturing at
the University's Department of Architecture and at QIT, he
also worked on the Master Plan for the expansion of the
University. His most notable buildings designed in this period
include Union College, the JD Story Administration Building,
Staff House and the Agriculture and Entomology Building
(now the Hartley Teakle Building). As part of his work for
the University, he designed the James Cook University in
Townsville in 1963, and continued to design buildings for the
St Lucia campus. In 1965 Birrell was appointed President of
the Australian Planning Institute. In 1966 he designed the
Union Theatre and Hartley Teakle Building before moving into
private practice.
By July 1963, Birrell had developed a plan for Union College
that he believed would:
Provide a residential collegiate atmosphere without undue
institutional appearance. This has been achieved by
meandering the dormitory block in a more of less rambling
fashion so that it encloses in effect two cloistered courtyards,
one of which overlooks no 2 oval across the top of the
communal facilities building and the other, the residential
section of Upland Road. Incidentally, this meandering avoids
the removal of any substantial trees.
The facilities block has been arranged along even contours
one floor lower than the dormitory building so that at no
point are the bedroom outlooks detrimentally affected.
Service entrance is at the north so that service facilities are
grouped against the future substation area that adjoins the
sites, hence buffering incompatible areas from the College.
The facilities block requires the removal of two trees only.
This plan represented the cutting edge of international ideas
on architecture in respect of its form and the mode of its
construction and generated a considerable amount of interest
in the building and design industries.. It achieved a
combination of good quality design and economy while
responding imaginatively to its site. In an era when buildings
in Queensland were generally constructed on a cleared and
levelled site, not only the placement, but also the design of
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/...2vLhGmGr3LgwdjwPpnnt42GpgbMBGn7cvG!148583688?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=4067[18/11/2014 9:15:37 AM]

the college buildings was influenced by the existing
topography and vegetation, which became part of the design.
Union College would have an impact on the funding of
college buildings throughout Australia. The tender of T J
Watkins was accepted in June 1964 and the first stage was
still being completed when Education Minister, Jack Pizzey,
officially opened it in July 1965. The first stage comprised
part of the Common Facilities wing residential blocks and
staff quarters at a cost of £240,000 (480,000). The new
college was adjudged one of the ten best buildings in
Australia for 1965 by the Australian Journal of Architecture
and Arts.
Union College marked a departure from the design of other
residential colleges on campus. Innovative features ranged
from the large one piece pivoting windows to the flat roof
intended to be used for living and recreational space. Forms
were simple and robust and the stone, timber, off form
concrete and metals chosen were intended to weather to soft
tones of grey with contrasts in texture.
The college was not only innovative in its form and use of
materials and in its response to the site, but also in concept.
Previous designs for student accommodation in Queensland
were more conservative and had followed traditional
institutional models. Union College had courtyards,
recreational and tutorial facilities and student units, providing
a modern lifestyle for adult students. As an extension of this
approach, in 1968 Union College became the first
coeducational residential college in Queensland. Although this
was a controversial move in the conservative atmosphere of
the time, this and other features of life at Union College,
innovative in the 1960s and 70s, are now the norm as
university accommodation more closely reflects daily life in
the wider community.
Extensions were carried out during the 1963-66 triennium
including extending the facilities wing, landscaping and
constructing the warden's residence on the ground floor of
block F. The tender of C P Hornick and Sons was accepted in
May 1966 for an overall cost of $77,463.
The next stage comprised construction of Block C (floors GHJ
and KLM). The tender of Harris James was accepted in July
1967 and the work was completed in June 1968 at a cost of
$412,815. Half of the rooms in this residential block were
made available to women students, though they were at first
accommodated on different floors to the men.
In June 1968 the Brisbane City Council purchased the two
old college buildings in Wickham Terrace at a cost of
https://heritage-register.ehp.qld.gov.au/...2vLhGmGr3LgwdjwPpnnt42GpgbMBGn7cvG!148583688?actionType=FRIENDLY&siteId=4067[18/11/2014 9:15:37 AM]

$265,000. Planning for the 4th stage of construction began in
1969. This was to complete the residential wings and build
units for married tutors and tutorial rooms. Federal funding of
$150,000 was granted for this stage (PQR floors) and the
tender of C P Hornick was accepted in December 1969. The
completed cost was $397,344.
Plans were then begun for the completion of the college (XYZ
floors). Harris James tender was accepted in January 1973
and work was finalized in 1974. The college as a whole was
estimated to have cost $1,500,000 to build.
In the late 1990s a detached brick function room with a tiled,
hipped roof was constructed to the rear of the kitchen. It
was also designed by Birrell, but does not match the earlier
buildings in form or materials.
Some changes have taken place, though the buildings are
substantially intact and retain their character. The off-form
concrete has been painted with sealant. Trios of hopper
windows have replaced the majority of the large pivoted
windowpanes that formed a distinctive feature of the design.
An unsympathetic security fence has been added at the
south.
The landmark trees, which were an important part of the
original design concept, remain though secondary planting of
has been added.
Description
Description
The University of Queensland is located on a large allotment
on a bend of the Brisbane River at St Lucia. The Great Court
is sited to dominate the rise of the land and have a
commanding view of the surrounding campus buildings, the
playing fields and the river beyond. The residential colleges
are grouped to the south along the river with Union College
set slightly further back.
Union College comprises several buildings. The two main
buildings are linear in form and have an extruded
appearance. The facilities block is a single-storey building
facing north-east, which flows through underneath the lower
storey of the residential block. The structure has a steel
sheeted roof supported by an off-form concrete portal frame
infilled with Mt Coot-tha bluestone. This type of structure
creates a large open-plan internal space. The floors are
parquetry, the ceilings are lined with strawboard and the
joinery is blackbean. There is a distinctive brick fireplace with
four arched openings over a central hearth.

There are courtyards formed between the angles of the
buildings. Raised areas set with trees and surrounded by
bluestone retaining walls preserve original hillocks on the
site. The existing major trees have been supplemented by
plantings of other trees, shrubs and flowering plants
The residential block is a three-storey building supported on
off-form concrete pilotis. Sections of it are infilled below as
the ground level drops away, but the three storey residential
section is constant. The plan form of the building follows
different angles, facing variously north-east, east, and north,
creating courtyards that contain large mature trees and
gardens. The pilotis support dark manganese brick internal
walls. Open stairwells with off-form concrete external
balustrades are located at regular intervals along the
building. The external areas of off-form concrete have been
painted. Windows are metal framed, with the original
windows composed of a large panel spanning the window
space at the top with two smaller windows below. All are
pivoted horizontally and double-glazed with Venetian blinds
enclosed. Most of the upper panels of the original windows
have been replaced with triple hopper windows. The roof is
reinforced concrete, and ceilings are sprayed vermiculite.
The former staff house lies between the accommodation and
facilities blocks and echoes the form and materials of the
accommodation blocks. It is .is a two-storey building
constructed of brick and off form concrete with steel framed
windows.

Information about places in the Queensland Heritage Register is maintained by the
Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) under the Queensland Heritage
Act 1992. Information available here is only part of the full Register entry and should not
be taken as an official entry. Absence does not mean a particular place is not in the
Register.
Certified copies of the full entries in the Register are available for a fee.
You can also search the full Register for a fee to find out if a place or parcel of land is
listed or otherwise affected by the Act.
