Australia ICOMOS

Walking Tour: Creating the high-rise city 1950-1975 with GJM Heritage

Parliament Gardens

Join GJM Heritage Director Jim Gard’ner for a walking tour through Melbourne’s CBD for members of Australia ICOMOS. The Post-World War II period was a time of unparalleled change for Melbourne's CBD as the city became the Australian centre for banking, insurance and corporate headquarters. Gone were the low-rise masonry buildings of the pre-war period: modernism had arrived in Melbourne. This fascinating tour will take in some of the key buildings from this period and discuss their role in changing the face of Melbourne during the post-war years, as well as the challenges associated with the listing and adaptation of post-war heritage.This walking tour includes low to moderate activity covering approximately 3km. The tour will conclude at 140 William Street, Melbourne, followed by drinks at the Mitre Tavern (please book separately).Time: 5:15pm for 5:30pm start / 6:30pm finishMeeting point: Coles Fountain, Parliament Gardens, cnr Spring and Albert Streets, Melbourne
