Whither sporting heritage : reflections on debates in Victoria about Waverley Park and the Melbourne Cricket Ground
conference contribution
posted on 2001-01-01, 00:00 authored by Roy HayRoy Hay, C Lazenby, Kathleen Haig-Muir, Peter MewettThe successful nomination of Waverley Park to the Victorian Historic Register
proved as controversial as the stadium was during its thirty-year existence. The
nomination was accepted primarily on the grounds of the social historical value of the site, rather than its architectural or engineering qualities, but in fact a range of different social histories were in conflict during the registration process. Four of the social histories involved are outlined and their influence on the outcome assessed. Some of the implications for the evaluation of sporting heritage sites emerge therefrom (Hay, R., Lazenby, C., Lewis, N., Haig-Muir, M., Mewett, P., 2001).
