Fremantle+Federation+Heritage

[Previous post: Bellevue Hill Heritage .. Next Post: Federation Specialists] toc =Fremantle significant sites and buildings= Western Australia's first surveyor-general John Septimus Roe, first designed Fremantle's town plan in 1829.
 * The struggling colonial port town was transformed by the 1890's gold rush into a vibrant, attractive Victorian port city, with a thriving international port.
 * The city's layout remains largely the same, with Fremantle's character defined by many of the surviving heritage buildings, streetscapes and squares.

**City of Fremantle heritage list**
The City of Fremantle's heritage list comprises a list of places within the City, which are of cultural heritage significance and worthy of conservation. The objectives of the heritage list are to:
 * There are currently over 2500 properties on its Local Planning Scheme 4 (LPS4) heritage list. The list as adopted by Council, identifies each place by name and address only and does not include any other data.
 * To find out if your property is on the heritage list click here. More information on properties included on the heritage list is available on [|Inherit] on the State Heritage Office website.
 * facilitate the conservation of places of heritage value
 * ensure that development occurs with due regard to identified heritage values in the interest of the community.

Heritage loans
Heritage listed properties within the City of Fremantle are eligible for subsidised loans through the Heritage Loan Subsidy Scheme. The scheme subsidises interest rates on loans by 4% for conservation works, offering owners significant savings. Loans can be arranged through the financial institution of the owner’s choice.

Heritage buildings
Fremantle is renowned for its well-preserved architectural heritage, including convict-built colonial-era buildings, an old jetty and port, and prisons; presenting a variety and unity of historic buildings and streetscapes. These were often built in limestone with ornate façades in a succession of architectural styles. Rapid development following the harbour works gave rise to an Edwardian precinct as merchant and shipping companies built in the west end and on reclaimed land. Various projects over time have highlighted Fremantle heritage as well as advocating consideration of heritage in planning schemes. The overall nature of the societies work is ongoing due to the inherent pressures from developers and others.
 * The Fremantle Society** is a community-based culture and heritage advocacy group in Fremantle, Western Australia. It was formed in 1972 to work to prevent what was seen as undesirable demolition and/or development of historic buildings in Fremantle. As the significance of Fremantle's built heritage came to be more widely recognised and respected (by the City, and property owners), the focus of the Fremantle Society has evolved to include more of the cultural heritage of the area.

Samson House (also see below)
Samson House was built for Michael Samson, who was also Lord Mayor of Fremantle. The house, which is a well-known Fremantle landmark, was completed in 1888, and was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs.
 * National Trust of Australia (WA) Chief Executive Officer Tom Perrigo said, there was absolutely no doubt Samson House was one of the most significant heritage places in Western Australia. Its intact collection of artefacts, which is directly associated with the place makes it rare amongst historic houses in Australia.
 * The National Trust took custodianship in 2010.

=Fremantle Prison - The Convict Establishment=

Major Tourist Attraction - W A Tourism Awards 2006 Fremantle Prison played a pivotal role in the Western Australian colony, which had survived from its European settlement in 1829 to 1850 as a free settlement without convicts, although not without a struggle. During the 1830’s more people left the settlement than arrived and the colony stagnated. However, by the late 1840’s pastoralists began lobbying for convicts to be sent to the colony to solve a labour shortage, and argued that the colony would benefit from the injection of capital the establishment of a convict centre would entail.

While there appears never to have been general community support for the proposition, transportation to Western Australia was legislated in Britain in 1849 for an unlimited number of male convicts. Ultimately, nearly 10,000 male convicts were sent to Western Australia between 1850 and 1868. //The entry to the prison complex//

Originally known as The Convict Establishment and renamed Fremantle Prison in 1867, the prison complex was built to the design of Comptroller General of Convicts in Western Australia, Capt. E.Y.W. Henderson, based on the designs of Joshua Jebb, the British Controller of Prisons, and in particular Jebb’s Portland Works Prison.
 * Whilst transportation of convicts ceased in 1868, Fremantle Prison continued to be managed by the Imperial administration, housing both transported convicts serving out their sentences, and colonial prisoners until, with just 50 convicts remaining in the system, it finally passed from Imperial (British) to colonial (Western Australian) management in 1886.
