  • 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.

  • 21.03 SETTLEMENT 21.03-1 Overview the Diversity on Offer
    MANSFIELD PLANNING SCHEME 21.03 SETTLEMENT 25/11/2010 C21 21.03-1 Overview 08/11/2007 C13 The diversity on offer within the Mansfield Shire is attractive to many people for many different reasons. Whether it is the snow in the winter, the lakes in the summer or the various rural pursuits on offer all year round, there is something for everyone in the region. The settlement pattern in the municipality is a reflection of people’s preferences for the various lifestyle pursuits. The Shire offers variety in housing choice and employment opportunities, as well as excellent services and amenities. As the profile of the Shire continues to evolve it is important that residential, industrial, commercial and retail development within the Mansfield precinct is facilitated in accordance with the Shire’s Urban Design Framework. Whilst quality of life is a significant factor in attracting people to the area, the Shire must offer many choices in housing and cater for the needs of the population in terms of community services, retail and business services, recreation and cultural activities. The Shire also needs to offer a wide range of employment opportunities. The key areas to focus on in the long term strategy are primary production, tourism, knowledge based industries such as research, training, administration and education, and finally health, recreation and service industries. The future growth of the various settlement areas will be dependant on many factors with a main issue being the availability of water and the ability to store water for sustainable living. Some catchments in Mansfield Shire are already ‘fully committed’, therefore requiring careful management of new dams.
