  • Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan
    BLACKBURN CREEKLANDS MASTER PLAN September 2002 Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan OVERVIEW Information from a range of sources has been compiled for the Blackburn Creeklands to build a picture of the park and of its past and present management. This background information acknowledges the community‟s close association with the Creeklands, the value that the community places on each of the three parks in the chain, the efforts of the Blackburn Creeklands Advisory Committee and improvements undertaken by Council. Relevant strategies and policy documents provide a City-wide and regional context for the Master Plan. In addition, a study of flora, fauna and habitat by Practical Ecology Pty Ltd was commissioned specifically for the Master Plan (refer Appendix A) and is a major component of the Plan. The recent study of Gardiners Creek by Ove Arup for Melbourne Water is also highly relevant to the future directions for the Creeklands. The site analysis considers the separate components that make up the Creeklands. It provides a detailed description of existing conditions for each component across the whole park and from this, key issues and opportunities for improvement are highlighted. Broadly, the site analysis covers the following: Environmental elements . Vegetation, fauna and habitat . The creek . Visual attributes, such as terrain and landscape character The park user . Park facilities, particularly access trails, entrance treatments, fencing and car parking, as well as playgrounds, lighting and seats. Activities, visitor needs, park interpretation and community education . Heritage interests Property management . Leases, tenant groups, adjoining land and other general property matters. The objectives of the Master Plan are intended to reflect those matters that are important to the community, Council and other key stakeholders.

  • Human Services Normal V2.1
    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.
