The title comes from The Chronicles of early Melbourne by ‘Garryowen’ [Edmund Finn], published in 1888, and refers to the area north of the Reilly Street drain. These essays relate to that area. North Fitzroy has not had the same attention from historians as the southern part of the suburb, though less than twenty years separate the two areas, and it is older than most other suburbs of Melbourne. It is hoped that this publication will encourage research on other topics relating to North Fitzroy.

  • 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.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 3/10/2021 COLLINGWOOD TOWN HALL
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 3/10/2021 COLLINGWOOD TOWN HALL Location: 140 HODDLE STREET ABBOTSFORD, Yarra City Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number: H0140 Listing Authority: VHR Extent of Registration: City of Collingwood. No. 140. Collingwood Town Hall,HoddleStreet, Abbotsford. [Victoria Government Gazette No 100 Wednesday, October 9 1974 p.3648] Statement of Significance: Built in 1885-90 to a design of Melbourne architect, George Johnson, the Collingwood Town Hall complex comprises town hall, library, municipal offices, court house and post office, all spaciously arranged in a heavily ornamented two-storey fabric of brick, stucco and wrought iron, dominated by a soaring clock tower. The clock may be the original one from the Melbourne General Post Office which was removed from that building in 1890. The clock bell was cast by Mears and Stainbank at the Whitechapel Foundry, London, in 1890. Extensive alterations to the interior were made in 1938 by AC Leith and Associates. The Collingwood Town Hall is of architectural, aesthetic, social and historical significance to the State of Victoria. 1 The Collingwood Town Hall is significant for its architectural association with two influential Melbourne architects. It is an important example of the work of George Johnson, possibly the most prolific designer of municipal buildings in late 19th century Victoria, as well as of many theatres and opera houses in Melbourne and other Australian cities and the annexes to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton. As a largely intact example of Johnson?s work, it is of direct comparative relevance to other town halls designed by him, such as those in Hotham (North Melbourne) and Northcote.

  • Collingwood Town Hall Tours Sunday 13 July 2014
    Collingwood Historical Society Collingwood Town Hall Tours Sunday 13 July 2014 Figure 1: Rudd, Work in progress c1886, Yarra Libraries Collingwood Town Hall Tours Sunday 13 July 2014 Four tours were conducted at the Collingwood Town Hall Community Open Day on Sunday 13 July 2014 by Anne Holmes, Frances Ilyine and Karen Cummings of the Collingwood Historical Society for the City of Yarra. Stop 1: Introduction, Singleton Stained Glass & Significant People Introduction Let‟s think back to the 1880s: the phrase “Marvellous Melbourne” was coined to describe the city also known as the Metropolis of the Southern Hemisphere. The 1880s was a boom period with land speculation rife and the sounds of building to be heard everywhere. Collingwood might have been a working class and largely industrial suburb, but it was a significant contributor to Victoria‟s economy. It was one of the earliest municipalities, having been established in 1855, and by 1876 its annual income had reached a level high enough for it to merit proclamation as a city. So Collingwood too was participating in the boom, and it was fitting that the foundation stone of its lavish status symbol was laid right in the middle of the decade, in July 1885. This was not achieved without several years of argument about funding and location, and whether such a structure should be built at all. Council finally held a referendum to approve taking out a loan of £40,000, but only £12,000 of this loan would be needed for the town hall, despite its grandeur. This was because a significant portion would be paid for by the Victorian government who would operate a Post and Telegraph Office, and a police station and courthouse within the building.

  • Agenda of Council Meeting
    Council Meeting Agenda – 30 March 2021 Agenda Council Meeting 7.00pm, Tuesday 30 March 2021 MS Teams Agenda Page 1 Council Meeting Agenda – 30 March 2021 Council Meetings Council Meetings are public forums where Councillors come together to meet as a Council and make decisions about important, strategic and other matters. The Mayor presides over all Council Meetings, and they are conducted in accordance with the City of Yarra Governance Rules 2020 and the Council Meetings Operations Policy. Council meetings are decision-making forums and only Councillors have a formal role. However, Council is committed to transparent governance and to ensuring that any person whose rights will be directly affected by a decision of Council is entitled to communicate their views and have their interests considered before the decision is made. There are two ways you can participate in the meeting. Public Question Time Yarra City Council welcomes questions from members of the community. Ideally, questions should be submitted to Council in writing by midday on the day of the meeting via the form available on our website. Submitting your question in advance helps us to provide a more comprehensive answer. Questions that have been submitted in advance will be answered first. Public question time is an opportunity to ask questions about issues for which you have not been able to gain a satisfactory response on a matter. As such, public question time is not: • a time to make statements or engage in debate with Councillors; • a forum to be used in relation to planning application matters which are required to be submitted and considered as part of the formal planning submission; • a forum for initially raising operational matters, which should be directed to the administration in the first instance.

  • Streets and Parks of Collingwood (Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Collingwood)
    Streets and Parks of Collingwood (Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Collingwood) Karen T Cummings Collingwood Historical Society, Inc 2021 Foreword This publication updates and expands a previous publication by the Collingwood Historical Society, Streets of Collingwood (1991). This edition incorporates more streets and parks as well as considerable additional information which has since come to light. The streets and parks have now been divided alphabetically into three sequences (Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Collingwood). If you are searching for a particular street name but are unsure which section the street falls into, you can use the PDF search facility to find it. Researched and written by Karen T Cummings with the assistance of other members of the Collingwood Historical Society. Published 2021 by Collingwood Historical Society, Inc PO Box 304 Clifton Hill 3068 www.collingwoodhs.org.au © Copyright 2021 Collingwood Historical Society, Inc Collingwood Historical Society 1 Introduction How often do you stop to think about how your street got its name, or why it starts and ends where it does? The former City of Collingwood (incorporating Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Collingwood) has its history written in its streets and the more one discovers about its past, the more meaningful the street layout becomes. At the end of 1838, only three years after the first European colonisation of Melbourne, the land which was to form much of the City of Collingwood was subdivided into portions to be sold by government auction in 1838-39. The area was not originally envisaged as urban: portions were around 25 acres each. The only reserves kept for roads were those on the boundaries, that is, the streets now known as Victoria Street, Smith Street, and Alexandra Parade, and also Johnston, Hoddle and Church Streets.
