Contested terrain: Point Nepean, Victoria

conference contribution

It is within the power of place to encompass many meanings, stories, and memories. Point Nepean has always been a contested landscape. But over recent years this 'land' has been the subject of intense debate as its future status is renegotiated. Evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Point Nepean should be recognised again as a unique and inviolable whole, in spite of the Commonwealth Government's division of the land into three parcels. It has always been my contention that all decisions relating to Point Nepean should be made with a clear understanding and appreciation of the natural and cultural significance of the whole area, in the broader context of 'place', such that place governs the approach and decision-making process. It is therefore necessary to not only establish that natural and cultural heritage is inextricably linked, but that it must be approached in an integrated manner.
