  • In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976
    In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976 Dr Benno Engels School of Global, Urban and Social Studies RMIT University Victoria, Australia [email protected] Melbourne has evolved and changed over time in response to the many challenges that this city has faced over the last century and a half. Some of this change was due to forces that lay beyond the control of those who governed it whereas other changes had been guided by local government acts and a handful of metropolitan level strategic plans. Largely absent from the historical narratives that have been written about the planning of Melbourne is what had happened to urban planning at the local level. This is a serious gap in our understanding of Melbourne’s historical urban development when it is remembered that local councils and shires had been charged with enforcing metropolitan strategy since 1955. It was at the local government level that the detailed strategic and statutory planning was undertaken but it was also here at the local level that a city’s capacity to respond to any newly emerging challenges were either expedited or stymied. In an attempt to shed some light on this much neglected facet of Melbourne’s urban planning history this paper proposes to investigate how much urban planning took place at the local level and what forms it took between 1944 to 1976, plus what factors may have impacted upon the local plan making process. Keywords — Local planning schemes; Town and Country Planning Board, Melbourne. INTRODUCTION Daniel Burnham, the famous American architect and urban planner of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has been quoted as saying, ‘…make no little plans.

  • 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.

  • City of Sandringham
    CITY OF SANDRINGHAM Planning of retail centres 711 . 5522 0194 51 SAN I I J - -----~-- -~~--- ~-~ 1 DEPUTA'I'ION '1'0 THE MINISTER FOR PLANNING The Honourable, L.S. Lieberman, M.P. r, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANDRINGHAM PLANNING OF RETAIL CENTRES THURSDAY 16th &UGUST, 1979 Dear Mr. Minister, Thank you for the opportunity to put before you matters of serious concern to the Council of the City of Sandringh~m. The Council of the City of Sandringham assumed its town planning responsibilities in 1948 with the adoption of the Sandringham Planning Scheme for its industrial area. Since that time most of the municipality has become fully developed. The coastal residenti~l character of Sandringham largely reflecti the vision and the long term strategies of past Councils with recent development superimposed on the older coastal settlements without disturbing t~e character and identity of the city. In essence these strategies, through the Councils local government and coastal management roles, often through direct consultation with other public authoritiei, have resulted in:- - the provision of metropolitan Melbourne and the residents of Sandringham with a coastal reserve which" includes some of the finest beaches in the metropolitan area (mainly funded from Council revenues) not spoilt by inappropriate development. "" through the long term purchase of indiviaual allotments, a magnif- icent municipal golf-co~rse which is completemented by one of the te~ best privately owned golf courses iothe world. - throu~the operation of its planning controls development of a relatively attractive and significant industri~! - employment ar2il. preserva~jon of 5 acres of some of the last remaining indigenous heathland in the Metropolitan area.

  • Report of Investigation Into Glen Eira City Council
    REPORT OF INVESTIGATION INTO GLEN EIRA CITY COUNCIL Merv Whelan Inspector of Municipal Administration July 2005 ____________________________ Ordered to be printed ____________________________ VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT PRINTER 2005 No. 148 of Session 2003-2005 C/- Local Government Victoria Level 14, 1 Spring Street Melbourne 3000 13 July 2005 The Hon Candy Broad MLC Minister for Local Government Nauru House, Level 21, 80 Collins Street Melbourne 3000 Dear Minister I have completed an investigation into governance and other issues at Glen Eira City Council in accordance with the Terms of Reference issued by you on 9 December 2004 and submit my report for your consideration. In 1998, Dr Greg Walsh, an Inspector of Municipal Administration, identified poor governance as a serious concern for the Council and recommended that the deficiency be addressed by implementing a Code of Governance and engaging the services of a mediator. Seven years and two elections later, the Council has made no progress on this issue. Rather, its performance has declined. The elected Council has failed, and continues to fail, to provide good government. This is primarily due to a serious breakdown in working relationships between Councillors and an incapacity and unwillingness by them to positively pursue any remedial action. Their conduct is characterised by hostile, acrimonious behaviour, denigration of colleagues and a lack of mutual respect and goodwill – behaviour which seriously inhibits their decision making capacity. They are widely perceived as ineffectual and irrelevant. According to the Councillors themselves, attempts to implement change have been completely ineffective because entrenched bitterness and resentment between them has negated any will to achieve it.
