翻修后的 AMP 大楼重振了班达伯格的建筑历史

在议会“我们的故事、我们的地方”资助计划的支持下，位于 Bourbong 街的班达伯格地标性 AMP 大楼已通过全新的外墙油漆工作焕发了活力。灰色、炭色和金色等传统配色方案凸显了建筑的建筑特色，同时保留了其历史特色。该建筑于 1927 年设计，1928 年开业，作为澳大利亚互助公积金协会 (AMP) 的前身，拥有悠久的历史。尽管存在误解，但它并未被列入遗产名录，而是属于班达伯格商业特色区，承认其建筑和美学价值。

Restored AMP Building Enhances Bundaberg's Architectural Heritage

修复后的 AMP 大楼增强了班达伯格的建筑遗产

Nestled amidst the bustling streetscape of Bundaberg's central business district, the AMP building on Bourbong Street has undergone a meticulous rejuvenation, breathing new life into its historic facade. With the support of Bundaberg Regional Council's Our Stories Our Places grant program, the building has been adorned with a heritage-inspired color scheme, transforming it into an architectural centerpiece.

坐落在班达伯格中央商务区繁华街景中的波邦街 AMP 大楼经过精心翻新，为其历史悠久的外观注入了新的活力。在班达伯格地区委员会“我们的故事我们的地方”资助计划的支持下，该建筑采用了受遗产启发的配色方案，将其转变为建筑中心。

A Touch of History

历史感触

Constructed in 1928, the AMP building has witnessed the ebb and flow of Bundaberg's past and present. Its prominent facade, adorned with a striking combination of gray, charcoal, and gold, hints at a rich narrative.

AMP 大楼建于 1928 年，见证了班达伯格的过去和现在的潮起潮落。其显眼的外观采用灰色、木炭色和金色的醒目组合装饰，暗示着丰富的故事情节。

While the building's facade boasts the inscription "Est. 1849," building owner John Felesina dispels a common misconception. The earlier date signifies the foundation of the Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP) in Australia, not the construction of the building. Through meticulous research, John discovered architectural drawings from 1927 that meticulously outlined the original layout of the AMP offices, including intricate details of the facade that once featured a grand AMP emblem.

虽然该建筑的正面刻有“Est. 1849”字样，但建筑业主约翰·费莱西纳 (John Felesina) 消除了一个常见的误解。较早的日期表示澳大利亚互助公会 (AMP) 在澳大利亚成立，而不是大楼的建造。通过细致的研究，约翰发现了 1927 年的建筑图纸，这些图纸细致地勾勒出了 AMP 办公室的原始布局，包括曾经带有宏伟 AMP 标志的立面的复杂细节。

A Legacy Preserved

保留下来的遗产

The AMP building has been a cherished family heirloom for the Felesinas since 1991, when John's parents, Peter and Pietrina, acquired ownership. John inherited the building in 2001 and has dedicated himself to preserving its historical character. He enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to participate in the Our Stories Our Places grant program, recognizing its significance in safeguarding Bundaberg's architectural legacy.

自 1991 年 John 的父母 Peter 和 Pietrina 获得所有权以来，AMP 建筑一直是 Felesinas 家族珍视的传家宝。约翰于 2001 年继承了这座建筑，并致力于保护其历史特色。他热情地接受了参与“我们的故事我们的地方”资助计划的机会，认识到该计划对于保护班达伯格的建筑遗产具有重要意义。

A Collaboration for Heritage

遗产合作

The Our Stories Our Places grant program, administered by Bundaberg Regional Council, provides invaluable financial assistance to property owners seeking to undertake heritage or character-enhancing improvements on eligible buildings. John and his wife, Dehlia, received a grant of $7,325, representing a substantial contribution to the cost of repainting the AMP building.

由班达伯格地区议会管理的“我们的故事我们的地方”赠款计划为寻求对符合条件的建筑物进行遗产或特色提升改进的业主提供宝贵的财政援助。 John 和他的妻子 Dehlia 获得了 7,325 美元的补助金，这是对 AMP 大楼重新粉刷费用的重大贡献。

John extols the virtues of the grant program, urging other eligible building owners to seize the opportunity to revitalize their properties. "The Council's incentive is a testament to their commitment to preserving our shared heritage," he remarks. "It's imperative to maintain our historical buildings, ensuring that the essence of Bundaberg's past remains vibrant in the present."

约翰赞扬了补助计划的优点，敦促其他符合条件的业主抓住机会振兴他们的房产。 “理事会的激励证明了他们致力于保护我们共同的遗产，”他评论道。 “保护我们的历史建筑势在必行，确保班达伯格过去的精髓在现在仍然充满活力。”
