  • 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.

Thest; were published in the report entitled Reforming Victoria's Water Industry: a Competitive Future - Water. In that report the Government stated its intention to form three "health and_environment" related working groups, namely • rural drinking water quality; • effluent standards; and • litter in waterways. These working groups were subsequently formed and this report summarises the findings of the working group on rural drinking water quality. A more detailed report containing all of the monitoring results for the individual supplies is being prepared for wide public distribution. While this summary report shows that many supplies still fail to meet the guidelines for bacteriological quality, there does not appear to be any great groundswell of public opinion demanding better bacteriological quality. This is not surprising when one considers that bacteriological contamination is invisible, without any tell-tale smell or taste. Unless the water is tested and the results are published, people have no way of telling if the water they are· receiving is safe to drink. The information in this report, therefore, should provide .a useful benchmark for measuring the performance of water authorities in the critically important area of drinking water quality.

AMENDING LEGISLATION. The Highways and Vehicles Act No. 3379 passed in December, 1924, became operative during the year, when on the 11th February, 1925, the. main road from Bairnsdale to Wodonga through Bruthen, Omeo, and Tallangatta was declared a State Highway under the designation of the Omeo Highway. From the date mentioned, the financial responsibility for the maintenance of this highway has devolved upon the Board on behalf of the State. The highway passes through the municipal districts of the Shires of Bairnsdale, Tambo, Omeo, Towong, Yackandandah and Wodonga, and although the whole cost of the work of maintenance is borne by the Board, advantage has been taken of the provisions of Sec·tion 8 of the Highways and Vehicles Act to permit of the local municipal authorities carrying out and supervising the work, to which they have readily agreed.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
