Four Canberra places spanning the city’s pastoral beginnings, architectural development and growth of the public service have been recognised in new ACT Heritage Council decisions.

Gungahlin Homestead in Crace, Westridge House in Yarralumla and the surviving sections of Cameron Offices in Belconnen have been provisionally registered on the ACT Heritage Register, while Paterson House in Aranda has been formally registered.

Gungahlin Homestead is a surviving 19th-century rural estate that later became a CSIRO research campus for more than 70 years, while the 1927 Westridge House formed part of Canberra’s historic forestry precinct.

The Cameron Offices, designed by architect John Andrews and built in the 1970s, are regarded as a significant example of Brutalist architecture and were part of Australia’s largest office development at the time.

Paterson House, designed by Enrico Taglietti and completed in 1968, has been recognised as an example of late 20th-century organic modernist residential architecture.

Public consultation on the provisional registrations of Gungahlin Homestead, Westridge House and Cameron Offices will open after they are notified, with submissions invited for four weeks.
