Agenda of Ordinary Council Meeting
ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA 28 JUNE 2021 10.2 ARTC - SPECIFIC CONTROLS OVERLAY RESPONSE TO PROPOSED INCORPORATED DOCUMENT Author: James Kirby - Senior Strategic Planner File No: PLP/13/094 Attachments: 1. Strategic Planning Collated response - PSA Voluntary Notification 17 May 2021 1. Purpose 1.1 For Council to consider and endorse the attached submission (Attachment 1) to Planning Scheme Amendment GC157 which implements the Specific Controls Overlay to facilitate construction of the Federal Government’s Inland Rail project. 2. Background 2.1 The Incorporated Document will be incorporated into the Whittlesea, Mitchell, Strathbogie, Benalla, Wangaratta and Wodonga Planning Schemes (the Planning Schemes) and is made pursuant to section 6(2)(j) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. 2.2 The Project will utilise the existing corridor and modify or replace existing infrastructure at a number of locations where there is not adequate clearance for double-stacked freight trains. The main components of the Project include 12 discrete project areas (also referred to as ‘enhancement sites’) from Beveridge to Albury where road and rail interfaces do not provide the required horizontal and vertical clearance for double-stacked freight trains. 2.3 The proposed amendment seeks to introduce an Incorporated Document (with conditions) for a Specific Controls Overlay (SCO) which will avoid the need for future planning permits for works associated with the Inland Rail Project. The scope of the project itself is generally limited to the following seven sites within the shire: Broadford-Wandong Road bridge, Wandong Hamilton Street bridge, Broadford Short Street bridge, Broadford Marchbanks Road bridge, Broadford Hume Highway bridge, Tallarook Seymour-Avenel Road bridge, Seymour Hume Highway bridge, Seymour MITCHELL SHIRE COUNCIL Page 436 ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA 28 JUNE 2021 ARTC - SPECIFIC CONTROLS OVERLAY RESPONSE TO PROPOSED INCORPORATED DOCUMENT (CONT.) 3. -
1 Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade
Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee into the impact of Defence training activities and facilities on rural and regional communities by John Cox Summary Increased security at Defence bases is negatively impacting the relationship between local communities and Defence organisations. The reduced access to bases has economic and social impacts for both the community and Defence. A solution is to locate select facilities that require lesser levels of security outside the high security perimeters of bases. Examples are Navy, Army and Airforce Museums. While the museums are used principally in the training of ADF members, museums also serve a valuable purpose in linking communities to the Defence Force. Regional military units need strong links with regional communities; they are neighbours and cooperative arrangements help both parties. It is common for members of local communities to become volunteers as guides and researchers at Defence museums. Social and economic bonds are strengthened through museums attracting visitors from distances away from a rural and regional community. Increased visitation helps local economies. And it helps Defence in connecting to Australians, particularly in support of recruitment. The proposed Armour and Artillery Museum at Puckapunyal/Seymour in Victoria is only one and a half hours drive from Melbourne’s northern and inner suburbs. A day trip from a major population centre is highly marketable and increases visits. The museum project is worth over $20 million. Such investment should be shared with the broader community where possible. Social bonds extend to training at Defence museum facilities for school and tertiary students undertaking related studies. -

ACQ Extract from Book 5
PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION ANSWERS TO CONSTITUENCY QUESTIONS 25 March to 14 April 2016 (Extract from book 5) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

Part of the transition into adulthood for many young Australian’s in the late 1960’s was listening to the radio, eagerly awaiting to hear their favourite artist or song. Many had a collection of favourite artists, such was the avalanche of quality popular music at the time. Part of the American push, which had resulted from the “British invasion” earlier in the decade, was The Young Rascals. -

Puckapunyal Boomerang Army Tank Museum located at Puckapunyal, collects, preserves and exhibits the history of Australian Light Horse and Armoured Corps. Open: Tuesday to Friday 10:00am-4:00pm. July 2017 National Families Week A Great Success National Families Week Event Puckapunyal – 18th May 2017 We had a great turn out by families with approximately 130 participating. The primary school staff had their fund raising supplies down pat which ran like clock work, with plenty of tasty food hitting the spot. DCO provided a humongous cake to celebrate the National Families Week occasion. The cake went down well with the families and some returned for seconds. There were glow sticks for all the kids upon entry and tickets for the door prizes, along with the free sticker, note pads, balloons and colouring in activity from Families Australia. The photo station was a big hit with families and kids alike. Families had a great time dancing with their children to the disco beats and flashing lights. Families left with rosy cheeks from a lot of dancing, full tummies and smiles. Thanks to all who participated and volunteers for their time, effort and energy.
