  • 2 Hilary Grove, Glen Iris Place Type: Residential Buildings (Private), House Significance Level: Local
    ‘St Hilary’, formerly ‘Charleville’ 2 Hilary Grove, Glen Iris Place type: Residential Buildings (private), House Significance level: Local Recommended protection: Planning Scheme Architectural style: Victorian period (1851-1901) Georgian & Italianate Locality history Glen Iris is a suburb that lies at the northern end of the former City of Malvern. It occupies gently undulating country along the Gardiners Creek valley, and is bounded by Tooronga Road, Wattletree Road and the Monash Freeway. The hamlet of Gardiner now lies within Glen Iris, although this was formerly recognised as a locality of its own. Glen Iris has long straddled two municipalities, with a portion in the former City of Malvern and a portion in the former City of Camberwell (now the City of Boroondara). It was originally bisected by the Gardiners Creek but in the 1960s the South Eastern freeway created a wider barrier between the two sections. York Street, Glen Iris, for example, is now in two disconnected sections. The first settlement in this area took advantage of the Gardiners Creek, which provided a water source for stock, and for orchards and market gardens. The line of the creek, and the roads that followed it, including Malvern Road, became an eastwards arterial of early settlement. The first land sales in the mid-1850s attracted those seeking an elevated suburban retreat away from the noise and odours of the city, and the early estates operated as small farms. Among the notable early estates were ‘Charleville’ (1857), ‘Viewbank’ (c.1858-59) and ‘Brymawr’ (1859). The area was highly desirable on account of the picturesque countryside and commanding views.

  • Hydro-Power and the Promise of Modernity and Development in Ghana: Comparing the Akosombo and Bui Dam Projects
    HYDRO-POWER AND THE PROMISE OF MODERNITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA: COMPARING THE AKOSOMBO AND BUI DAM PROJECTS Stephan F. Miescher, University of California, Santa Barbara & Dzodzi Tsikata, University of Ghana n 2007, as Ghanaians were suffering another electricity crisis with frequent power outages, President J. A. Kufuor celebrated I in a festive mode the sod cutting for the country’s third large hydro-electric dam at Bui across the Black Volta in the Brong Ahafo Region.1 The new 400 megawatt (MW) power project promises to guarantee Ghana’s electricity supply and to develop neglected parts of the north. The Bui Dam had been planned since the 1920s as part of the original Volta River Project: harnessing the river by producing ample electricity for processing the country’s bauxite. In the early 1960s, when President Kwame Nkrumah began to implement the Volta River Project by building the Akosombo Dam, Bui was supposed to follow as part of a grand plan for the industrialization and modernization of Ghana and Africa. Since the 1980s, periodic electricity crises due to irregular rainfall have undermined Ghana’s reliance on Akosombo. By the turn of the century, these crises had created a sense of urgency to realize the Bui project in spite of an increasing international critique of large dams. Although there is more than a forty-year gap between the 1 See press reporting in Daily Mail, 24 August 2007, and the Ghanaian Chroni- cle, 27 August 2007. The sod cutting ceremony, analogous to a grass-cutting or ribbon-cutting event, symbolically marks the beginning of construction for a major infrastructure project.
