  • Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry Into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities
    Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities KANDO - Kinglake Action Network & Development Organisation (KANDO) Inc. Submission 12 April 2006 Kinglake Ranges Overview The Kinglake Ranges (inclusive of the communities of Toolangi, Castella, Glenburn, Kinglake, Middle Kinglake, Pheasant Creek, Kinglake West and Flowerdale) covers an area of approximately 1900 sqkm and is at its nearest point less than 50 km from the Melbourne CBD (less than one hours drive). A significant proportion of our population (estimated at > 6,000 people and growing) commute to the suburbs or city daily to work or to undertake post primary education (our youth attend over 20 different secondary schools). Historically, the community has been significantly disadvantaged, with Kinglake recording the highest unemployment and youth suicide rates in the state in the early 1990’s. Isolation and inadequate or non-existent public transport has always compounded our disadvantage. Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic / family violence and mental health issues have all been matters of concern particularly given the absolute absence of health and welfare services to the area. In recent years the area has seen a large growth in the number of young families. Our fragmented youth population makes it almost impossible to sustain junior sporting teams, despite well over 500 high school aged young people living in the wider region. Tracking young people’s transition to training, employment or further study is extremely difficult with many falling through the gaps. Local employment opportunities continue to be extremely limited. The dispersal of community members has a detrimental impact on community connectedness and social cohesion.

  • 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.

  • 8 Tourism at Coranderrk After Its Closure in 1924
    8 Tourism at Coranderrk After Its Closure In 1924 8.1 The Closure of Coranderrk, February 1924 Charles Robarts, the Coranderrk manager, was advised by the Board in mid-Decem- ber 1923, that the station would cease operation at the end of January 1924. However, tourism was now Coranderrk’s raison d’etre (Lydon, 2005: 212), and Robarts responded that this was impractical ‘owing to the Xmas and New Year Holidays which extend to the end of January in this Tourist district, hundreds of visitors visit this Station during this period and are entertained by the natives’ (Robarts 12/12/1923 in Lydon, 2005: 212). Nevertheless, Robarts’s objections came to nothing and in February 1924, Cor- anderrk was formally closed and reserve lands were opened up for closer settlement. Some fifty acres [20 hectares] were retained for a small number of select families who were allowed to remain there: Annie and Lanky Manton, Mrs Jemima Burns Wandin Dunolly, Alfred Davis and his wife, and William Russell were the ‘permitted residents’. The Argus (19/5/1924) announced the closure of the station: VICTORIAN ABORIGINES TRANSFERRED TO LAKE TYERS. Coranderrk Station Closed. HEALESVILLE, Sunday- After having been in existence since the early “sixties,” the Coranderrk Aborigine Station at Healesville has been closed. This has been brought about by the decision of the Aborigines Protection Board to concentrate the aborigine population of the State at Lake Tyers Mission Station. Coranderrk station was established by the Government at the instance of the late Mr. J. Green, who was in charge of an aborigine encampment on the Acheron River, and he induced these aborigines and those of the Yarra tribe to settle at Coranderrk.

    Eltham District Historical Society Newsletter No. 234 June 2017 A Hotel or two! Jim Connor While this is a tale of two hotels in Eltham, only one has survived,….if at least in name only. The Eltham Hotel as we know it today stands resolutely on the corner of Main Road and Pitt Street in Eltham. While this hotel is very different to the original building shown in earlier photographs and etchings it still retains the Eltham Hotel name. It is thought the original building was constructed by Benjamin Wallis c1855 for Richard Warren, but when Warren fell into financial difficulties in 1858 he had to sell the hotel and it was purchased by allis,W who obtained a publican’s licence in 1861. In 1886 Wallis sold the hotel to Christopher Watson (Snr.) and when he died in 1887 it passed to his son Christopher Watson (Jnr.) who owned it for many years, eventually then passing to his son Herbert. This hotel may have been demolished about 1925 and a new hotel built, which included some of the façade still at the front of the current building. Opposite the Eltham Hotel a vacant site, also on a corner of Main Road and Pitt Street, is a vague reminder that another hotel once stood there, until burnt down in 1931. Watson’s Eltham Hotel Photograph from the EDHS collection Originally called the Fountain of Friendship Hotel, it was built in 1852, when Main Road was known as Maria Street. This building was constructed of prefabricated wooden sections shipped from Singapore and for the greater part was built of cedar, including the floors.

    Eltham District Historical Society Newsletter No. 227 April 2016 Eltham District - Early History Based on an article in the Eltham and Whittlesea Shires Advertiser - Friday 21st November 1941 While this is an interesting article, later research shows it contains a number of inaccuracies. Although there are no known records of when the first settlers took up land in the Eltham district, it is recorded that it was created a Road District on 26th September 1856. Before that, however, it was well known and was called by the blacks ‘Nillumbik’ and is still known for some official purposes as the Parish of Nillumbik. The township was later called ‘Holloway’s Township’, apparently in honour of the first settler. How it ultimately became to be known as Eltham is uncertain, except that one of the two hotels was named the Eltham Hotel and stood on the site of the present structure bearing that name. Directly opposite was the township’s other hostelry, the ‘Fountain Inn.’ ‘Eltham’ is the name of a village just outside London and it seems possible that the first owner of the Eltham Hotel came from that part, and that ultimately the district surrounding the hotel came to bear this name. The first rate book for the year ending 14th October 1858 is probably the best record possible to indicate the development of the district. Then properties were rated as follows: Cultivated land, Watson’s Hotel - corner Main Road and Pitt Street, Eltham 6d. per acre; pasture land, Id. per acre; estimated from the Shire of Eltham Pioneers Photograph Collection annual value of buildings, etc., 6d.

Gold had been discovered at nearby New Chum, near the intersection Chum and Myers creeks in 1856, and an early track to the diggings through the Healesville area was located north of the current main road. As traffic to the area increased, a reward of £100 was offered by the Government for a new, improved route to Woods Point. The new route was claimed to be ‘a great improvement over the first marked track’.1 Outlined in late LOVELL CHEN 1 HEALESVILLE HERITAGE PROJECT LOVELL CHEN 2013 HEALESVILLE COMMERCIAL PRECINCT CITATION 1863, it followed the higher ground on the south side of the Watts River.
