TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

179 Queen-street, Melbourne, 3000

The Honorable the Minister for Local Government, 61 Spring-street, Melbourne, 3000. SIR,

In accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act the Board has pleasure in submitting to you for presentation to Parliament the following report on its activities during the twelve months ended 30th June, 1968. During the period under review the Board held 31 meetings, and in addition was represented at a number of conferences held in the metropolitan area and various country centres ..

APPOINTMENTS AND RETIREMENTS. On the 2nd April, 1968, the Governor in Council appointed Mr. M. J. Lea a member of the Board for the statutory period of three years. Mr. Lea is a Civil Engineer and Licenced Surveyor, a member of the Institution of Engineers (Australia), a Fellow and Past President of the Institution of Surveyors (Australia) and a Fellow of the Australian Planning Institute and Past President of its Melbourne Division. He has had considerable experience in the planning field and has been a member of the National Capital Planning Committee, since its inception in 1958. Mr. Lea succeeded Mr. A. N. Kemsley who had rendered outstanding service to town and country planning in Victoria over very many years. At its meeting held on the lOth April, 1967, the Board passed a resolution recording its appreciation of Mr. Kemsley's service. The resolution reads as follows :- "Alfred Newcombe Kemsley was appointed to the Board on the 27th February, 1946 and retired on the 29th March, 1968, his 72nd birthday. Although a businessman and not a professional planner he brought to the Board's deliberations a wealth of understanding of the practical application of a wide range of planning principles. He derived this in the first place from his term as Secretary of the Metropolitan Town Planning Commission during the whole of its existence from 1923-1929 and later from his dedicated participation in the Board's affairs from its inception in 1946. During his term of office on the Board, town planning in Victoria under the Town and Country Planning Act developed from a theory for the guidance of town growth to an established and widely accepted practice. At the end of his term 57 planning schemes had been approved and 115 were in the course of preparation. The most notable of these was the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme which was examined and reported on by the Board in considerable detail on both occasions of its public exhibition. During the same period the scope of planning was to widen to include areas of scenic and recreational interest. Since the modern town planning movement began about 50 years ago three notable reports on the growth and planning of Melbourne have been produced. Mr. Kemsley was closely associated with two of these, as Secretary of the Metropolitan Planning Commission in their Report of 1929 and as a member of the Town and Country Planning Board in their Report' Organisation for Strategic Planning' of 1967. He was also intimately connected with the report on the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme 1954, the examination of which was the responsibility of the Town and Country Planning Board. Mr. Kemsley's service to town planning has been recognized by the Town and Country Planning Association by the award of the Sir James Barrett Memorial Medal and by the Australian Planning Institute in electing him an Honorary Member. Mr. Kemsley has been a citizen of Melbourne for nearly 50 years and in his time has taken a leading part in many civic and welfare activities. His services to the community were recognized by Her Majesty the Queen on the 11th June, 1960 in making him a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. The town planning movement has been fortunate in having such a forthright protagonist. He has retired greatly respected by his colleagues for the integrity, human understanding and determination he has always displayed in the conduct of the Board's affairs." 6

LEGISLATION.

During the 1968 Autumn Session of Parliament a substantial amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 was enacted. One of the principal objects of the amendment was to give effect to the Government's intention to revise the organisation for town and country planning in the State. The main features of the Act, the Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Act 1968 (No. 7676) are as follows :- (i) An increase in the membership of the Town and Country Planning Board by provision for a full-time Deputy Chairman. (ii) Charging the Board with the responsibilities of promoting and co-ordinating planning throughout the State and of preparing statements of planning policy. (iii) Establishment of a State Planning Council. (iv) Provision for the establishment of regional planning authorities. (v) Establishment of a tribunal to hear and determine town planning appeals. (vi) Extension of the metropolitan planning area and definition of the relationship between the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works and municipal Councils under an approved metropolitan planning scheme. (vii) Improvements in the provisions of the 1961 Act in the light of experience in its application. The Board's 22nd Annual Report referred to the Bill to amend the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 consideration of which was not concluded during the 1967 Autumn Session of Parliament. Act No. 7676 emanated from a revised Bill considerably augmented by provisions derived from the Board's Report "Organisation for Strategic Planning". Further reference to this Report is made on pages 18-19. The revised planning organisation under the amending Act provides for (1) Strategic Planning-broad structure planning at Government level incorporating major projects initiated by Government authorities and expressed as statements of planning policy setting the pattern and providing guide-lines for physical planning. (2) Regional Planning--physical planning at local government level for areas extending beyond the boundaries of one municipality and which require planning as a single unit. (3) Local Planning-physical planning for unified areas with a single municipality and also for detail planning with regional planning areas. The enactment of this legislation represents a substantial step forward in Government acceptance of the principles underlying town and country planning and in the means available for the accomplishment of better forward planning of over-all development. Details of the principal additions to the Act are as follows

Membership of Board. Section 4 of the Principal Act is amended to increase the membership of the Board from three to four. At present the Chairman is the only full-time member of the Board and provision has been made for the appointment of a full-time Deputy Chairman. This part of the amendment Act has yet to be implemented.

Statements of Planning Policy.

Section 7A ( 1) of the Act empowers the Board to prepare a statement of planning policy (including any necessary maps and plans) with respect to any portion of Victoria whether or not that portion is under planning administration. A statement of planning policy to be effective must be approved by the Governor in Council and notified as approved in the Government Gazette (Section 8c (3 and 4) ).

Section 7A (2) stipulates that a statement of planning policy shall be directed primarily towards broad general planning to facilitate the co-ordination of planning (under the Town and Country Planning Act) throughout the State by all responsible authorities.

Section 7A (3) also requires the Board, in preparing a statement of planning policy to have regard in particular to such influences on urban and rural development as (a) demographic, social and economic factors and influences ; 7

(b) conservation of natural resources for social, economic, environmental, ecological and scientific purposes ; (c) characteristics of land ; (d) characteristics and disposition of land use ; (e) amenity and environment ; (f) communications ; and (g) development requirements of public authorities. Section 8E requires that every responsible authority, that is, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, a regional planning authority or a council outside the metropolitan area where a regional authority has not been established, shall in preparing or amending a planning scheme have due regard to any approved statement of planning policy which affects its planning area. The concept of a statement of planning policy originating at Government level, is new to the Town and Country Planning Act. It introduces a new form of guidance in the planning machinery which has the capacity to provide a co-ordinated outline of Government policy for physical planning authorities. Prior to the amendment of the Act it was the responsibility of physical planning authorities to ascertain Government policy and the intentions of Government instrumentalities and to make provision for them in their planning. This was usually done by consultation with individual instrumentalities. This procedure was not as effective as it might have been, because of the difficulties encountered in obtaining forward planning information from authorities which had not advanced their planning beyond the immediate future, or were unwilling to disclose forward planning proposals which, if made public, might lead to premature claims for compensation. Consequently, planning in other aspects had to proceed without full knowledge of major works proposals which might eventually conflict with zoning provisions or actual development under an approved planning scheme. The new concept envisages that Government policy and planning of future works by Government instrumentalities should be pre-determined, co-ordinated and handed down to the local planning authorities as guide-lines for physical planning.

State Planning Council. Section 8B provides for the establishment of a State Planning Council comprising the following members (i) The Chairman, Town and Country Planning Board, who shall be Chairman of the Council ; (ii) The Chairman, State Rivers and Water Supply Commission ; (iii) The Chairman, Country Roads Board ; (iv) The Chairman, State Electricity Commission ; (v) The Chairman, Victorian Railways Commissioners ; (vi) The Secretary to the Premier's Department ; (vii) The Secretary for Public Works ; (viii) The Chairman, Housing Commission, Victoria ; (ix) The Chairman, Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works ; (x) The Chairman, Land Utilization Advisory Council ; (xi) The Under-Secretary ; and (xii) The Director-General of Education. Section 8B (7) of the Town and Country Planning Act prescribes that one of the two functions of the State Planning Council shall be to co-ordinate planning by State instrumentalities and semi-government authorities of future works and developments for which they are individually responsible. The Council is also required to act as consultant and adviser to the Town and Country Planning Board in any statement of planning policy prepared by the Board and with respect to any other matter, in the interests of the State, relative to regional or other planning schemes. Section 8c (1) of the Act requires the Board to confer with the State Planning Council in the preparation of every statement of planning policy and, in submitting the latter to the Minister for Local Government (Section 8c (2) ), to forward the Council's comments. The establishment of the State Planning Council with its responsibilities in regard to statements of planning policy and co-ordination, is new to Victoria. The authorities represented on the Council, while continuing to be responsible for planning and execution in their own specialized fields, will become direct participants in comprehensive planning. 8

Regional Planning. Section 12 (1) of the Act provides for the establishment of a regional planning authority by Order of the Governor in Council. A regional planning authority has the function of preparing a planning scheme for any specified area extending beyond the boundaries of any one municipality and of enforcing and carrying out the scheme. A regional planning authority (Section 12 (2) ) shall consist of representatives of every municipality within the regional planning area. It may also include persons acceptable to the municipal representatives and considered by the Governor in Council to be specially qualified by reason of knowledge or experience to serve on the authority. A regional planning authority (Section 12 (5)) shall be a body corporate with powers to acquire and dispose of land for the purposes for which it was established. It may employ its own staff (Section 12 (7)) and, with the consent ·of the bodies concerned, use the services of any officer of a municipality or any public authority. It may also appoint technical advisory committees comprising representatives of its members or of public authorities or other interests within the region (Section 12 (8) ). The costs of a regional planning authority shall be borne by the municipalities represented on it, on an agreed basis (Section 12 (10) ). The authority may also borrow money on authorized overdraft (Section 12 (12) ). In this connexion it should be noted that Section 12 (l) (6) of the Act enables the Governor in Council to direct that the authority, from the date of its constitution or a defined later date, shall be the sole responsible authority in respect of any interim development order or planning scheme in operation in the region. The Act also confers on a regional planning authority the same powers vested in the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works under Part Ill. of the Act which deals specifically with the metropolitan area. . This will enable a regional authority to delegate to the council of any municipality within the region, such powers, authorities and responsibilities of any interim development order or planning scheme as it thinks fit. The Board is required to submit a draft of every statement of planning policy prepared by it to every regional planning authority likely to be affected. The comments of the authority must be submitted to the Minister with the statement. An approved statement of planning policy must also be forwarded by the Minister to any regional planning authority which has resolved or appears likely to resolve to prepare a planning scheme for an area covered by the statement. As already mentioned every responsible authority (including a regional planning authority) shall in preparing or amending a planning scheme have due regard to a statement of planning policy. These matters are covered in Sections 7 A to 8E of the Act. The Board is responsible under its charter for initiating regional planning and the Minister in his statement in the Legislative Council, on 21st February, 1968, indicated that there "should be a regional planning authority to co-ordinate planning in the Gee long area, at one end of the Port Phillip District, and another regional planning authority to cover the vitally important area of the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island, and the developing shores of Western Port".

Town Planning Appeals Tribunal. The new Section 19A of the Act provides for the constitution of a Town Planning Appeals Tribunal, which shall consist of three members appointed by the Governor in Council of whom- (a) one who shall be the Chairman shall be a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria ; (b) one shall be a person having experience in town and country planning ; and (c) one shall be a person having a knowledge of and experience in public administration, commerce or industry. The function of the Tribunal will be to hear and determine all appeals against decisions of responsible authorities with respect to applications for permits under interim development orders and planning schemes. At present the Minister for Local Government determines these appeals after considering reports made to him by one or two delegates appointed to hear the respective parties to an appeal. This has been very demanding on the Minister's time and the Government considers it would be more appropriate to have an independent administrative tribunal of three persons capable of gaining the confidence of the parties who will appear before it and who must abide by its decision. The procedure in relation to appeals and hearings will be generally the same as at present, but some matters of detail have been improved. The Tribunal will be required to give reasons for its decisions and to have important or typical determinations together with reasons published for the information of authorities and persons concerned with town planning. This section of the Act has yet to be proclaimed. 9

Metropolitan Area. Another important amendment to the Act is the redefinition of the metropolitan area (Second Schedule) for which the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works is required to prepare, submit and enforce a statutory planning scheme. That Board is, of course, already administering its approved scheme for the previous metropolitan area. The redefined area is now 1,942 square miles in extent as compared with 688 square miles as previously defined. The new planning boundary now encompasses the whole of the municipal districts of the Shires of Werribee, Melton, Bulla, Whittlesea, Eltham, Knox, Sherbrooke, Lillydale, Croydon and Frankston, and part of the Shires of Healesville, Berwick and Cranbourne. Section 56 of the Act which relates to the position of municipal councils within the metropolitan area has been amended to provide that councils may either request the Board of Works to amend the approved metropolitan scheme in so far as it relates to that particular municipality or to accept for exhibition and adoption a scheme prepared by the council. A council may only proceed to amend the relevant part of the Board of Works' scheme after that Board has refused or failed to prepare an amending scheme at the council's request and after the Minister's consent has been obtained.

General. The new legislation also contains a number of other changes which can generally be said to be consequential upon the matters already discussed, or which improve provisions in the 1961 Act. The main items are as follows (i) Section 3 introduces definitions for the terms "Building," "Construct," "Development," "Land," "Subdivision," "Use" and "Works". (ii) Section 6 is extended to allow the Board to charge a fee for the sale of reports, bulletins, maps or plans. (iii) Section 6A enables the Board, with the Minister's approval, to delegate the powers, functions or authorities conferred or imposed on it to any member, officer or servant of the Board. (iv) Section 17 re-enacts the previous provisions relating to interim development orders with the addition of a requirement that notice must be published of an amendment to an Order specifying the uses of land which may or may not be permitted so that objections may be lodged by the affected parties. It is also provided that where the amendment reserves land, a notice must be given to all persons with a registered interest in the land. (v) Section 18 re-enacts provisions relating to permits. It is now provided that a permit may be issued subject to a condition that it will lapse where the use or development permitted has not been commenced within a specified period, and that development, once commenced, must be continued to the satisfaction of the responsible authority. The notice of an application for a permit which a responsible authority may direct be given or published must now state, instead of the " purpose and effect ", the " purpose " and " such particulars as the responsible authority may direct", and also that the application may be inspected at the authority's office. (vi) Section 23 relates to continuity of permits under successive interim development orders or schemes and has been redrafted without materially affecting its provisions. (vii) Section 24 empowers the Minister to authorize the responsible authority to revoke or modify a planning permit. An amendment which has yet to be brought into operation will provide that except where the permit holder, owner and occupier concerned agrees to the proposed revocation or modification of the permit, the Appeals Tribunal shall hear the parties concerned and may authorize the revocation or modification. The responsible authority is also empowered to order the suspension of work while permission to revoke or modify the relevant permit is being sought. If the revocation or modification is not approved by the Minister the responsible authority will become liable to compensate the appropriate persons for any loss or damage arising from the suspension of work. (viii) Section 28-a requirement has been added whereby a notice of the exhibition of an amending scheme which provides for the reservation of land for any public purpose must be forwarded by the responsible authority to any claimant of any interest in the land to be reserved. (ix) Section 32 (3A) now enables an amending planning scheme to enlarge the area of the principal scheme. Moreover the additional area need not be contiguous with the original area. 10

(x) Section 32 (6) now provides that any person, in addition to a responsible authority or the Board may apply for amendment of a planning scheme by the Governor in Council. (xi) Section 33 has been re-enacted to provide that the only by-laws rendered inoperative by the approval of a planning scheme are those made by local councils which prescribe residential and business areas and control land uses in such areas. (xii) Section 40 has been modified to enable a responsible authority which has acquired land for a public purpose or to facilitate its appropriate private use to lease such land, provided that the Governor in Council must approve building or improvement leases or any lease for more than seven years. The Minister may approve any private sale of land acquired under this section to persons from whom a responsible authority has purchased or taken land. (xiii) Section 40A introduces a new provision to enable a responsible authority to sell with the approval of the Minister any portion ofland acquired for a public purpose which is not essential to that purpose to the owner of adjoining land to enable the latter land to be more advantageously used or developed. (xiv) Section 41 has been amended to provide for Titles Office notation of compensation paid in respect of any land. It is now also provided that compensation payments shall be made by the Government department or public authority at whose request or with whose consent the land is reserved. Previously where compensation was payable in respect of reserved land the responsible authority was required to meet the costs unless or until the public authority for whom the land was reserved took it over and reimbursed the authority. Where a municipal council was the responsible authority it often found it very difficult to meet such claims, particularly as it could not be foreseen when it would be reimbursed. (xv) Section 44 has been re-enacted and now provides that a responsible authority may remove buildings erected in contravention of an interim development order or planning scheme or permit issued thereunder. (xvi) The Third Schedule has been modified to bring up to date the list of matters which may need to be provided for in planning schemes.

Town and Country Planning Regulations 1962. During the year two amendments were made to the principal regulations. Amendment No. 5, approved by the Governor in Council on 8th November, 1967, was made to enable the Minister for Local Government, who is obliged by the Act (until the Appeals Tribunal becomes operative) to deal with town planning appeals, to accept an appeal lodged after the prescribed period. It had been found that in certain circumstances it was not always practical for an applicant to lodge his objection within the specified time. It should be noted that the Minister is required to consult the responsible authority before accepting the late appeal. The introduction of the Appeals Tribunal will not affect this procedure. Amendment No. 6, approved on the 23rd April, 1968, is designed to expedite administrative procedures involved for the approval of planning schemes for which modifications have been recommended by the Board.

REORGANISATION OF THE BOARD. The Board's new responsibilities under the amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act referred to under " Legislation ", will necessitate substantial reorganisation of staff duties and expansion. The Board's main responsibilities now are :- (a) Promoting and co-ordinating town and country planning throughout the State. This includes the setting up of regional planning authorities for areas such as Western Port, Geelong and the Latrobe Valley ; it also includes formulating and diseminating general information and advisory data for the guidance of planning authorities. (b) Formulating and implementing Statements of Planning Policy-including transmitting and interpreting statements to regional planning authorities and also consulting with the latter in the formulation of statements. 11

(c) Convening the State Planning Council and supplying services to the Council­ including sub-committees and working parties representative of appropriate authorities through which the Council will give effect to its responsibility for co-ordination of planning by Government and semi-Government instrumentalities for works and developments and for advising the Board on appropriate strategic and regional planning matters. (d) Preparing planning schemes for special areas or projects of State significance where the local authority for the affected area has not the resources for undertaking such a task or where it would not be practical to set up a regional authority~ this applies particularly to coastal planning and to inland areas which have a special function such as water conservation or a potential for tourist or recreational use. (e) Advising the Minister on planning schemes submitted to him in accordance with the Act-this includes amendments to schemes. (a), (b) and (c) are new additional responsibilities for the Board ; (d) is already a responsibility but receives less attention than it should due to Jack of staff ; (e) is the Board's principal present responsibility. The responsibility for advising the Minister on planning schemes and amendments submitted by municipal and regional authorities will increase substantially bearing in mind the recent approval of the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme and all that this is likely to entail in immediate revision. That of initiating and formulating Statements of Planning Policy involves broad strategic planning at a high level, integrating the specialized planning of government authorities such as transport, public utilities and education. These two major responsibilities, being so different in the fields they cover must be kept separate in staff organisation. These two key components can be referred to as Statutory Planning and Strategic Planning. Although the work of these will be widely different they form with regional planning the three major links in the chain of planning procedure. It has been estimated that the total strength of the Board should be of the order of 120 (present strength 34) with the necessary increase being attained over a three-year period so that the growth in staff occurs roughly in parallel with the increased responsibilities.

PLANNING SCHEMES BEING PREPARED BY THE BOARD. During the year the number of principal schemes being prepared by the Board was reduced by one to seventeen, with the approval of the Lake Bellfield Planning Scheme.

APPROVED SCHEMES. Lake Bel/field Planning Scheme. The Lake Bellfield Planning Scheme was approved by the Governor in Council on 9th April, 1968, the responsible authority for its administration being the council of the . The planning area is located in The Grampians and includes the picturesque holiday resort township of Hall's Gap. The scheme is designed to protect the environs of Lake Bellfield from land uses which would be prejudicial to water conservation. lt will co-ordinate development and protect the natural landscape of the area by controlling tree felling, the erection of advertising signs and temporary structures. SCHEMES IN COURSE OF PREPARATION. Coastal Planning Schemes. The Board's work in this area has been mainly confined to studies and surveys and also development control under the interim development orders for which it is responsible. The subject is dealt with in more detail elsewhere in the Report under " Coastal Planning Studies ". Waratah Bay Planning Scheme. The Board's last Annual Report stated that the Waratah Bay Planning Scheme was receiving the Minister's consideration prior to receiving the approval of the Governor in Council. Since then the Board has requested deferment of approval of the scheme pending an examination of a report submitted to the Board by Professor J. S. Turner, Professor of Botany, recommending the preservation of certain areas of Crown land in the scheme noted for the profusion of native flora and fauna. The Board's examination has been somewhat protracted due to the necessity to investigate legal access to adjoining land in subdivisions. It is expected however that finality will be reached shortly. 12

Lake Buffalo, Lake Merrimu, Lake Nillahcootie and the Eildon Reservoir Extension "A" and Latrobe Valley Sub-Regional Extension "A" Planning Schemes. The existing conditions survey for the Lake Nillahcootie Planning Scheme has now been completed. The preparation of the Latrobe Valley Sub-Regional Extension "A" Scheme has been delayed due to the possibility of an over-all revision of the principal scheme being undertaken by a regional planning authority. The Latrobe Valley was indicated as an appropriate area for regional planning in the Minister's speech introducing the Bill to amend the Town and Country Planning Act. The remaining schemes have not been advanced owing to lack of staff. In the meantime the Board has been able to maintain control under Interim Development Orders. Lake Glenmaggie Planning Scheme. Due to staff shortage it was not possible to complete the Lake Glenmaggie Scheme and place it on public exhibition as had been anticipated. However, it seems likely that this will be achieved during the coming year. Eildon Reservoir Planning Scheme (). Following concern expressed by the Alexandra Shire Council at a proposal to subdivide land outside but adjacent to the boundary of the above scheme the Board sought and received the Minister's approval to extend the area of the scheme to control development in an area which by virtue of a proposal to make a tourist road linking the townships of Eildon and Bonnie Doon, had become vulnerable to land speculation. A new Interim Development Order for the enlarged planning area was made by the Board and approved by the Governor in Council on 26th September, 1967. Control under the new Order is continuing pending the preparation of a scheme for the new enlarged area. Phi/lip Island Planning Scheme. Approval of the Phillip Island Planning Scheme is still delayed due to litigation which is pending (see the Board's 20th Annual Report). The Board meantime continues to administer interim development control. The Board's Report on the tourist potential and natural resources of the Island and their relationship to the planning scheme has now been completed and submitted to the Minister. The Report recommends a comprehensive revision of the scheme to introduce more stringent controls to protect the Island's resources and landscape and to provide for the treatment of prematurely subdivided land and poorly-developed areas. The Board is awaiting the Government's decision on these recommendations. Simpson Planning Scheme. During the year the Board with the agreement of the Housing Commission, the Rural Finance and Settlement Commission and the councils of the Shires of Otway and Heytesbury adjusted the boundary of the Simpson Planning Scheme to simplify the arrangement of title boundaries. A new Interim Development Order for the revised planning area was approved by the Governor in Council on 23rd January, 1968. Although work continued with the preparation of the planning scheme the Board concentrated its attention on obtaining the general agreement of the interested parties to the design of the township of Simpson including the town centre.

COASTAL PLANNING STUDIES.

References have been made in previous Annual Reports to the Board's obligation to introduce, through planning schemes, measures for the protection of natural resources and the guidance of development along the coastline of Victoria. The Board's main interest lies in two main areas which prior to the introduction of Interim Development Orders in 1965 were not under planning control. An essential pre-requisite to the special kind of planning required for coastal areas is a study of resources both natural and man-made so that the areas can be evaluated for their potentiality for development or the need for protection. Though not in a position to make full-scale studies the Board has been able to widen the range of skills available on its staff as the result of special representations made to the Treasury by the Minister. In consequence limited studies in important sections of the coastline have been carried out. 13

Peterborough-Warrnambool Road Proposal. The first of these studies embraced the section of coastline between Peterborough and Warrnambool-some 30 miles in length. The need for the study arose from a proposal by the Country Roads Board to extend the existing ocean road which terminates at Peterborough, to Warrnambool. * The photographs shown on page 13 indicate the topography and the scenic nature of the · area of study. Because of the Board's limited resources and more particularly, because a wide range of skills was necessary for the comprehensive study envisaged, it was decided to seek the aid of experts from appropriate Government authorities, the University of Melbourne and certain conservation bodies. The officers of the authorities co-operated readily but the Board wishes it to be recorded that the other members of the group not only co-operated most enthusiastically but received no remuneration whatever for their participation. The study was held during December, 1967. The group comprised officers of the Board and of the Country Roads Board and Fisheries and Wildlife Department, Professor J. Turner, Botany Department and Dr. F. Ledgar, Town and Regional Planning Department, Melbourne University, Mr. W. Mathieson of the Warrnambool Field Naturalists Club and Miss G. Bowker of the Bird Observers Club. The Soil Conservation Authority made an investigation of the area at a later date. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect which a coastal road would have on the area as a wildlife habitat and also on the unstable land structure which is a feature of this particular section of the coast. The small isolated beach shown in the accompanying photograph near Flaxman Hill in the is an established penguin rookery. In the Board's view access to areas such as this should be limited to pedestrians thus demonstrating the need for a close study of the selected route.

This small isolated beach at the foot of Flaxman Hill is backed .by steep vertical cliffs and provides a sheltered recluse for a penguin rookery.

As a result of the study the Board was able to agree with the road proposal subject to certain conditions and minor deviations between Peterborough and Childers Cove and to a major diversion west of Childers Cove. Gippsland Lakes. A different approach was adopted by the Board for a survey of the section of the coastline of which the Gippsland Lakes are the principal feature. Unlike the coastal road survey there was no specific proposal under consideration. The area of this study is shown on the following sketch plan on page 15. // BAIRNS DALE

This sketch plan shows the area of the Board's study of the Gippsland Lakes district. 16

The detailed study by the Board of the Lakes area followed the Government's direction to the State Development Committee to inquire into the " control, maintenance, promotion and development of the Gippsland Lakes ". None of the four municipalities which surround the Lakes has an approved planning scheme, only one has interim development control along the whole of its boundary with the Lakes and one has no planning control at all. The Board regards the Gippsland Lakes as a single unit from a planning point of view and in its evidence to the Committee stressed the need for a comprehensive and co-ordinated planning concept for the area. The inherent natural beauty of the Lakes emphasizes their outstanding potential for development as a tourist attraction and consequently their vulnerability to over-exploitation. The actual and potential pressure by tourists would, in the Board's view, inevitably result in conflicts between competing claims for areas of both land and water for development and recreation on the one hand and for protection in their natural state on the other. Furthermore the instability of the coastallandforms in the area such as the beaches, swamps, shores of lagoons and estuaries already apparent in several places could be greatly aggravated by further uncontrolled development. Finally the ecological balance so delicate in coastal areas could easily be distorted or even destroyed by excessive human activity, a situation which in itself may well require special management measures. This background already studied extensively by Dr. E. Bird of the University of Melbourne prompted the Board to examine the Gippsland Lakes area with a view to formulating proposals for development control and management. The four councils all indicated wholehearted support. The first undertaking was a preliminary survey by officers of the Board carried out over the peak holiday period during January, 1968. Sixty people were interviewed at Lakes Entrance and 30 at each of the following centres-Loch Sport, Paynesville and Metung. The information sought concerned such matters as the home base, type of holiday accommodation, density of holiday living, length of stay, type of transport used, motivation for choosing the Lakes area, type of recreational activities and suggested improvements. The balance of the survey dealt with- (a) physical resources including geomorphology, climate, flora and fauna ; (b) human activity including accessibility, urban development and tourist activity. The survey has been completed and provides sufficient data for a report and the formulation of recommendations.

PLANNING SCHEMES BEING PREPARED BY COUNCILS.

The Board has continued to foster close co-operation with councils and their staff and during the year the Chairman and officers of the Board visited many areas throughout the State. While the Board's staff resources are limited every effort is made to satisfy requests for members or officers of the Board to visit country areas and it is pleased to receive visits from council representatives. One feature of local planning which deserves mention is the growing concern on the part of councils over the inadequacy of powers available to them for the control of flat development. A number of councils in the Melbourne metropolitan area, faced with a substantial increase in fiat development, found that it could not be adequately controlled under local government by-laws and that they did not have sufficient power to prevent the intrusion of fiats into areas which were predominantly occupied by single-dwelling development. Several councils sought the Board's advice on whether flat development could be better controlled under a statutory planning scheme or Interim Development Order. They were advised to make applications for the latter pending the introduction of more detailed controls in the Board of Works' Scheme. The Board has for many years advocated that flat control should be implemented under the planning legislation and not the Uniform Building Regulations and it is encouraging to note that some councils have now also recognized the advantages to be gained by planning control. The Board has over years taken landscape into account in appropriate planning schemes such as the Ocean Road Planning Scheme and the planning scheme for Eildon Reservoir. However, the preservation of character in towns by statutory planning could well be considered as new. In the United Kingdom the preservation of areas by planning control is widely practiced. It is interesting to note that some local councils are beginning to recognize their powers under the planning legislation and are considering taking action to preserve particular areas within their municipalities. This does not mean that new development would be prohibited but rather that it would be expected to be in harmony with its surroundings. 17

In April, 1968, the Government approved the setting up of Development Committees in the five centres recommended for accelerated growth by the Decentralization Advisory Committee­ Ballarat, Bendigo, Latrobe Valley, Portland and Wodonga (associated with Albury). The urban development of all these areas embraces more than one municipality and the Board considers that it is essential to the aims of the Development Committees that there is close co-operation between the councils concerned in the planning of the areas. The development of the Wodonga-Albury area presents an opportunity for close co-operation between municipalities planning under the different legislation of two States and it will require assistance from both the Victorian and New South Wales Governments to ensure that the development of what is to a large extent a single economic and social entity, is properly co-ordinated.

MELBOURNE METROPOLITAN PLANNING REGION.

The Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme was approved by the Governor in Council on 30th April, 1968 and became operative on 22nd May, 1968. The approval of the scheme, which covers an area of approximately 688 square miles containing some 2 · 3 million people is the culmination of eighteen years work by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works. One of the most important aspects of the new amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 (see article headed " Legislation") is that the metropolitan area, for which the Board of Works is given the specific task of preparing, submitting and enforcing a statutory planning scheme has been redefined and is now 1,942 square miles in extent. In accordance with the legislation the Board of Works resolved on 11th June, 1968 to amend the principal scheme by a planning scheme for the extended area to be known as the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme, Amendment No. 3. The Town and Country Planning Act prior to amendment provided that after a scheme prepared by the Board of Works was approved councils could prepare and submit to the Minister schemes which, if acceptable, were to be submitted to the Governor in Council as amendments to the metropolitan scheme. It is now provided that a council may proceed to prepare such a scheme only when the Board of Works has first refused or failed to prepare an amending scheme at the council's request, and the Minister's consent has been obtained. Amendments to the metropolitan scheme will be the responsibility of the Board of Works although councils can initiate an amending scheme and submit it to the Board of Works for exhibition and subsequent approval. A number of the councils within both the old metropolitan area and the extension area have their own approved schemes, while others have prepared or are preparing schemes and are exercising interim development control. In due course these local schemes will be incorporated in the Board of Works' Scheme and its extension so that ultimately only one planning scheme will apply to the whole of the metropolitan area. As regards administration of the Board of Works' Scheme it has been arranged that the Board of Works will substantially delegate control of development to the municipal councils. It can be expected of course that the Board of Works in preparing its scheme for the extension area will have due regard to the provisions of eNisting local schemes subject to the need to provide for a reasonable measure of uniformity with the approved scheme and also having regard to any Statements of Planning Policy approved for the area. In the meantime councils in the extension area will continue to operate and amend their approved schemes or in other cases administer Interim Development Orders while continuing with the preparation of their local schemes.

INTERIM DEVELOPMENT ORDERS.

The Board examined and reported on 21 applications for interim development order control during the past year. Fourteen of these were made under Section 55 of the 1961 Act which, until it was repealed by the amendment Act (No. 7676), required that Interim Development Orders operating within the metropolitan area must be resubmitted for the approval of the Governor in Council every twelve months. The remaining seven applications made by the Cities of Benalla, Frankston, Footscray and Ringwood, and the Shires of Colac, Deakin and Upper Yarra were reported on pursuant to Section 17 of the Act. 10102/68.-2 18

Following the Benalla City Council's resolution to prepare a planning scheme for its municipality an Interim Development Order was approved by the Governor in Council on 5th September, 1967. Part of the City is subject to an approved planning scheme originally prepared by the and approved in 1955. Since that time part of the area embraced by the Shire's planning scheme has been annexed to the City. While it is unusual to introduce interim development order control in respect of an area subject to an approved planning scheme it was considered that such action was justified to provide uniform administration over the whole planning area. The Order made by the council of the City of Frankston replaces an Order made by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings in 1959 and which had become outmoded due to the creation of the Shire of Hastings and the later proclamation of Frankston as a City. It was considered that the council should recommence the process for preparation of a planning scheme and the Order subsequently approved on 8th November, 1967 relates to the part of the City outside the area of the approved Metropolitan Planning Scheme. Footscray and Ringwood City Councils made applications for Interim Development Orders for the purpose of controlling the erection of flats and directing this type of development into suitable locations well served by commercial, recreation and transport facilities. An Order was made by the Colac Shire Council following a resolution to commence the preparation of a planning scheme for land abutting the boundary of the . The Order defines urban areas and prohibits subdivision of land into allotments of less than ten acres in areas classified as rural except to provide sites for certain specified uses. The Order made by the Council of the covers the whole of the Shire outside the area of the Planning Scheme where planning control has been administered by the Shire since 1961. It is intended to control development within the rural parts of the Shire which might prejudice proper development of urban areas within the Shire and neighbouring municipalities such as Echuca and Kyabram. In view of the continued easterly trend of growth of the metropolitan area interim development order control to afford protection to the Upper Yarra Valley was sought by the Upper Yarra Shire Council. The Order approved on 13th March, 1968, will enable the council to control and regulate all use and development of land within the Shire pending the approval of a planning scheme. Two Interim Development Orders were made by the Board during the year. The Order for the Eildon Reservoir Planning Scheme (Shire of Alexandra) has been referred to under " Planning Schemes Prepared by the Board ". The second Order made by the Board was approved on 23rd January, 1968. It followed discussions between the Board and the Rural Finance and Settlement Commission when it was decided to adjust the area of the Simpson Planning Scheme to coincide with property boundaries and replaces an Order previously approved on 17th May, 1966.

REVOCATIONS OF PORTIONS OF PLANNING SCHEMES.

Section 32 (4) of the Town and Country Planning Act provides that the Governor in Council may revoke the whole or any part of any planning scheme upon the application of the Board, a responsible authority or any interested person. The purpose of this section is to remove the impediment of a scheme to development which in the Minister's opinion on the advice of expert authority should be permitted to take place. It is generally used to permit development not foreseen by the planning scheme but which can be justified in the public interest. During the year under review the Board reported to the Minister on fourteen such applications, eleven of which were subsequently approved. As a general policy in considering requests for revocation the Board believes that the provisions of a planning scheme should only be revoked where hardship, anomaly, untenable situations or similar circumstances exist. Where such circumstances are not present an amending planning scheme should be processed in the normal way as provided in the legislation so that the community is made aware of the planning proposals and has an opportunity to object if they so desire.

ORGANISATION FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING.

On 4th September, 1967, the Board submitted to the Minister its report entitled " Organisation for Strategic Planning ". The Minister had sought this report in a letter to the Board of 3rd May, 1966. 19

The particular matters which the Minister requested the Board to examine and comment upon were as follows :- (1) The most desirable shape and nature of the urban community of Melbourne in the future. (2) The most suitable method of planning and regulating the future growth of the metropolis. (3) The most suitable authority or authorities to carry out such planning and supervision. The Board's Report discusses three concepts for continuous urban growth which have been consistently advocated for some time. The Report was presented by the Chairman at a Forum on Melbourne of the Future conducted at the Minister's request by the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria at the Latrobe University on 7th October, 1967. Since then it has been widely distributed throughout the State. As stated elsewhere in this report its proposals have generally been accepted in principle by the Government and given statutory expression in the Act No. 7676 amending the Town and Country Planning Act 1961.

REGIONAL PLANNING.

The new amending Act (No. 7676) which passed through Parliament in the Autumn Session introduces for the first time in Victoria the machinery to set up regional planning authorities. The Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works has already performed a notable achievement in bringing to approval the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme and the Government saw fit to extend the Board's planning area to cover the newly-enlarged metropolitan region defined in the Act. The Act now provides for the formation of regional planning authorities composed primarily of representatives of local government in each region. The functions of regional planning authorities are to prepare a planning scheme for a regional planning area and to carry out and enforce the scheme. Obvious areas where regional planning authorities are required are, of course, the major provincial cities such as Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Wangaratta, Warrnambool and Shepparton, and naturally homogeneous areas such as the Latrobe Valley, the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port, and possibly, in the future, the Gippsland Lakes. But there will be many other areas where planning by two or more adjoining municipalities needs to be jointly and comprehensively pursued. The machinery is now available to approach planning in a positive fashion, unfettered by local administrative boundaries which have no regard to urban growth and form.

WESTERN PORT DEVELOPMENT.

The Board's Twenty-second Annual Report referred to a meeting convened by the Secretary, Premier's Department which was widely representative of Government departments and public authorities likely to be involved in the provision of essential works and services for the anticipated development of the Western Port area. The meeting, which was held on 26th April, 1967, was for the purpose of conveying to the authorities the known extent of the proposed development and to ascertain where possible the ability of the authorities to meet likely future requirements. It was decided that it would be necessary to form a representative committee to meet regularly for the purpose of maintaining a continuing co-ordination of the activities and responsibilities of the various authorities in the area. The committee known as the Western Port Officers' Co-ordinating Committee has met monthly since the original meeting, and much has been achieved. The proclamation in May of the amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act No. 6849 clears the way for the creation of a Regional Planning Authority for Western Port which will be essential to the effective implementation of the development plans of all concerned. 20

ADVERTISING SIGNS AND PANELS. The Board's Twenty-second Annual Report referred to the setting up in March, 1967 of the Outdoor Advertising Committee representing the Local Government Department, Country Roads Board, Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, Town and Country Planning Board, Municipal Association and Outdoor Advertising Association. During the period under review the Committee continued its work on the formulation of a uniform code for the guidance of advertisers. The many complexities associated with the whole question of rationalizing the existing system has prolonged the work of the Committee but it is confidently expected that the code will be approved in the near future. The method of administering the code is still unresolved although in the Board's view the Town and Country Planning Act provides the most satisfactory vehicle. On the other hand provisions relating to the actual size and construction of signs and panels would seem to be more appropriately located under the Uniform Building Regulations made under the Local Government Act.

UNIFORM BUILDING REGULATIONS. In its Twenty-first Annual Report the Board referred to the need for the introduction into the Uniform Building Regulations of a further class of flat building to cover the " holiday flat " usually located at coastal resorts. During the past year the Board received for comment a proposal of the Building Regulations Committee to amend the Regulations which included provisions for this type of development and matters related to car-parking spaces, distances from boundaries and buildings near dwellings. The Board agreed generally with the proposal but forwarded some suggestions for improvements in the detailed provisions.

PLACE NAMES COMMITTEE. The Board is represented on this Committee by the Chairman and by the Chief Town Planner when the former is not available. The most interesting feature of the Committee's work during the year, from the Board's point of view, has been the way in which the relationship between place naming and urban planning has become increasingly apparent. This applies particularly to new residential areas which are being added to the metropolis. There is a natural tendency for those responsible for carrying out residential development, even on a relatively small scale, to identify their projects by seemingly distinctive names. However, the Committee has taken the view that the naming of residential localities should as far as practicable be related to an organized pattern of communities the boundaries of which have been delineated by the planning authority for the area. With this in mind the Committee has sought the assistance of the Town and Country Planning Board, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works and a number of municipal councils.

PORT PHILLIP AUTHORITY. The Port Phi/lip Authority Act 1966 which was proclaimed on 7th September, 1967, charges the Port Phillip Authority with the responsibility for advising the Minister of Lands on methods of- (a) co-ordinating development in the Port Phillip area ; (b) preserving the existing beaches and natural beauty of the Port Phillip area and preventing deterioration of the foreshore ; (c) improving facilities in the Port Phillip area to enable the full enjoyment of the area by the people. In pursuance of these responsibilities the Authority is empowered to recommend to the Minister that surveys, investigations or experiments be undertaken to determine the present condition of foreshores and the best method of preserving and improving foreshores, including beaches. In addition the Authority may submit recommendations that preventative and remedial measures in respect of the Port Phillip area be investigated or designed and that all necessary or expedient measures be taken to prevent pollution of inshore waters. The Board recommended that the Minister nominate Mr. W. H. M. Barr, Town Planner, as its representative on the Authority and Mr. Barr's appointment was made by the Governor in Council in June, 1967. 21

POLLUTION COMMITTEE.

In February, 1968, the Chief Secretary requested the Minister to nominate a suitably qualified officer from the Board to act on a " Pollution Committee " which, it is proposed, will study the possibility of pollution and devise means of preventing it. Mr. B. J. Opie, the Board's Chief Town Planner has been nominated to represent the Board on the Committee. Other authorities to be represented are the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, Department of Agriculture, Health Department, Ports and Harbours Branch, Public Works Department and the Fisheries and Wildlife Department.

EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES ACT 1966. On 15th May, 1968, the Extractive Industries Act 1966, came into operation. This Act is the result of many years of investigation and research into extractive industry and the measures needed to control it. The Act gives effect to the recommendations of the State Development Committee following inquiries in 1957-58 and again in 1963-64. The Act provides for a system of leasing or licencing of extractive industries throughout Victoria, operations on private land being authorized by licence and those on Crown land by lease. Administration of this legislation is closely allied to the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 and notwithstanding the requirements to obtain a lease or licence developers are still n;quired to obtain planning permission where planning control also operates. Accordingly all applications received by the Secretary for Mines are referred to the Board for advice as to whether the subject land or any part thereof is within the area of a planning scheme and if so the name of the responsible authority, whether or not a planning permit to carry on extractive industry on the land is required or whether the land is in a locality which, under the planning scheme, the carrying on of extractive industry is a prohibited use of land. The applications are similarly referred to the Soil Conservation Authority, which is obliged under the Act to inform the Secretary for Mines whether or not the area is within a catchment area and, if so whether or not it consents to the carrying on of extractive industry. To co~ordinate these two independent controls Section 52 of the Extractive Industries Act 1966 introduced two new sections into the Town and Country Planning Act, namely Sections 18A and 21 (3) which provide- (a) that an application for a permit to use any land for the purpose of carrying on an extractive industry within the meaning of the Extractive Industries Act 1966 shall not be made unless the applicant has applied for a lease or licence in respect of the land under the Extractive Industries Act 1966. It is further provided that where an application is made for a permit the responsible authority shall not consider the application for such a permit until it has received a copy of the application for a lease or licence from the Secretary for Mines and a report of the Extractive Industries Advisory Committee. In determining the application for a permit the responsible authority shall take the said report into consideration ; (b) that the Minister for Local Government shaH take the report of the Extractive Industries Advisory Committee into consideration in determining any appeal relating to permits for extractive industry. The establishment of the above~mentioned Extractive Industries Advisory Committee is a most important aspect of the Extractive Industries Act. The functions of the Committee as set down in the Act are- (a) to conduct such surveys for the purpose of discovering deposits of stone and assessing the quantity of stone in any deposit as it may think fit or the Minister of Mines may direct and to report its findings to the Minister ; (b) to carry out such other investigations and make such reports with respect to stone deposits or extractive industry in any area as it may think fit or the Minister may direct; (c) to give advice and report on the suitability for extractive industry of any part of any area in respect of which the preparation of a planning scheme has been commenced to the Minister and to the responsible authority ; and (d) to give advice and report on the suitability of any land for extractive industry­ (i) Where the land is within the area of a planning scheme, to the Minister and to the responsible authority ; and (ii) where the land is not within the area of a planning scheme, to the Minister and to the council of the municipality in whose district the land is situated. 22

The Committee is to consist of the Director of Geological Survey and the State Mining Engineer as permanent members, with an additional special member or members from time to time. In those cases where the subject land is within the area of a planning scheme the special member will be a representative of the responsible authority. Surveys carried out by the Committee will be of great assistance to planning authorities to ensure that land overlying valuable mineral deposits is protected against uses prejudicial to its subsequent availability for extraction. By virtue of its membership on the Committee the planning authority will be in a better position to consider suitable controls designed to minimize the effect of such industries on landscape and the amenity of the developed land in the vicinity.

LAND-USE ZONING-BY-LAWS UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT.

During the past year the Board reported on seven by-laws prepared pursuant to Section 197 of the Local Government Act and submitted for the approval of the Governor in Council. The Minister normally seeks the Board's comments where a by-law made under the provisions of this section prescribes residential areas or other land use controls or deals with other matters of town planning significance. The Board was able to report favourably on these by-laws which in the main prescribed areas for residential, industrial or business purposes. Two of the by-laws prepared by the Cities of Caulfield and Sandringham brought the by-law control over certain small areas of land into conformity with the zoning provisions of the Metropolitan Planning Scheme. A by-law prepared by the Mordialloc City Council for the purpose of controlling flat development was the only other proposal of more than minor significance. It reduced from six to four the number of flats which may be erected on any one site.

AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF URBAN STUDIES. During the year the Board noted with interest the founding of the Australian Institute of Urban Studies. The Institute has been established for the purpose of promoting research related to urban planning and development and has resulted from the efforts of the Australian Planning Institute which is concerned primarily with the advancement of the town planning profession. The formation of the Australian Institute of Urban Studies was made possible by financial contributions from private enterprise and to a much lesser extent from Government instrumentalities. Some State Governments including the Victorian Government, have promised substantial financial support provided that that of the Commonwealth Government is also forthcoming. One of the most valuable services that can be rendered by the Institute will be to compile and maintain a register of research work. A considerable amount of research is being carried out by planning, transport and other Government instrumentalities and at the Universities, which is rarely publicised because its primary object is to help resolve some local problem or advance post­ graduate studies. A central register of such research would undoubtedly bring to light valuable data and save a good deal of duplication. The Chairman of the Board represents the Board on the Institute's Founding Council.

VISIT TO STATE PLANNING AUTHORITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

During May, 1968, the Board paid a visit to the Sydney office of the State Planning Authority of New South Wales with the object of discussing problems of common interest and examining technical and administrative methods. Discussions were held with the Chairman and members of the Authority and several of the Authority's principal officers while the Authority kindly arranged a helicopter flight to enable members of the Board to inspect the major features of recent development in the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Of particular interest to the Board were the techniques used by the Authority in its strategic planning for the future growth of Sydney which like Melbourne is expected to reach a population of 5 million within the next 30 to 40 years. The Authority's strategic planning area is not comparable to the Port Phillip District in which the Board is primarily interested and which includes the major focal points of Melbourne, Geelong and Western Port. The nearest parallel to this would be the New South Wales Central Coast including Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong but which embraces a much larger area than the Port Phillip District. 23

The Board was most interested to find that the State Planning Authority in New South Wales is spending substantial sums of money acquiring land in advance of development with the objects of assembling land into areas of satisfactory size for pre-planning and of avoiding the inflation of land values which usually accompanies rezoning of rural land for urban use.

CHAIR OF TOWN PLANNING-MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY.

Act No. 7697 proclaimed on 7th May, 1968, amended the Country Roads Act 1958 to provide, inter alia, that the Country Roads Board shall pay out of the Country Roads Board Fund a contribution not exceeding $1,000 a year for a period of five years towards the establishment of a Chair of Town Planning and Urban Studies at the University of Melbourne. At present there is a Department of Town and Regional Planning as part of the Faculty of Architecture at the University, but the Department has no separate existence in its own right. It is understood that the University is prepared to create a Chair of Town Planning and Urban Studies if the professional salary for the first five years can be guaranteed, after which the University will undertake full financial responsibility. A group of interested bodies and firms in Victoria which are concerned with town planning, including the Housing Commission, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works and the Country Roads Board, have indicated their willingness to contribute $1,000 a year for the required five years to ensure the creation of the Chair. The Board, having no revenue, is not in a position to make a contribution. lt nevertheless welcomes the move to give the Department increased status and autonomy.

SEMINARS.

Historic Preservation in Australia. Mr. F. J. Coates, represented the Board at a Seminar held from 11th to 13th August, 1967, at The Australian National University on "Historic Preservation in Australia". The Seminar was organized by the Department of Adult Education and the Australian National University in conjunction with the Australian Council of National Trusts, Sydney, New South Wales and the following Papers were presented "The Future of Our Past "-Mr. Robin Boyd. "Preservation of Commonwealth-Owned Buildings and Structures "-Mr. D. M. Pate, Assistant Director-General, Commonwealth Department of Works, Melbourne. "Preservation of State Government Buildings in New South Wales "-Mr. E. H. Farmer, Government Architect, N.S.W., Sydney. " Final Summing Up "-Professor J. Burke, University of Melbourne. Four syndicates were formed to examine and report on "Responsibility," "Notable Towns," "Restoration Problems" and "Preservation Priorities". Mr. Coates was a member of the latter syndicate. Planning Conference 1968-Town and Country Planning Institute of New Zealand. The 1968 Conference of the Town and Country Planning Institute of New Zealand was held at Dunedin from 15th to 19th May, 1968. The Board was represented by its Chief Town Planner, Mr. B. J. Opie. In view of the experience which New Zealand Planning Authorities have had in regional planning Mr. Opie took the opportunity to visit each of the Regional Authorities at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin and discuss their work and the problems encountered.

RESOURCES FOR PLANNING.

The Board's Twenty-third Annual Report is probably one of the most significant it has made for it records on the one hand its submission to the Minister of its recommendations for the reorganisation of planning in Victoria with special emphasis on the future growth of Melbourne and on the other hand the Government's acceptance of the recommendations expressed in a sweeping amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act. In more detail elsewhere in the Report the new machinery for planning has been described. In many respects it is quite revolutionary in concept. The burden of responsibility for making it work falls on the Board. · 24

In the first place the Board is charged with the responsibility of promoting and co-ordinating town and country planning throughout the State. In the Board's view promotion means fostering the advancement of planning both as regards the places where it is needed and in the techniques and research required to carry out planning. Co-ordination means establishing regional planning where the division of responsibility according to municipal boundaries inhibits comprehensive appreciation of the problems of growth and conservation. Statements of planning policy for which the Board is also responsible form a new concept. By reason of the fact that a statement of planning policy is a statutory document prepared by a Government instrumentality in conjunction with a consultant body representative of the major Government authorities concerned with urban and rural development and conservation, it constitutes in effect Government policy. Though planning authorities have, since the first planning legislation was enacted in Australia, been seriously handicapped by the absence of deliberate policy statements by State Governments on matters affecting future urban and rural development, the recent amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act is the first move that has been made by any State Government to involve itself directly in comprehensive forward planning for urban growth. The Government's move in this direction undoubtedly arises from its concern about the unprecedented rate of growth which is expected to take place in the Port Phillip District in the next three or four decades. Melbourne's present size, status and character have been acquired over a period of 134 years. Measured in population, roughly the same amount of growth, with all the attendant requirements in the nature of transport, and public utilities, will have to be reckoned with in the next 34 years. Melbourne's growth over the last 134 years has not been untroubled. Large areas of substandard housing in the inner suburbs, inadequately serviced areas in outer suburbs, poorly judged exploitation of natural resources and failure to achieve harmony in civic design provide ample evidence of the community's inability to cope with the demands of urban growth even at a comparatively leisurely pace of development. The rate of growth in the future will leave little margin for error if chaotic living and working conditions are to be avoided. This is why Government patronage of planning in town and country is so important. Crises can no longer be dealt with on a day to day or even year to year basis. They will of course continue to occur perhaps with greater intensity but it is imperative that forward planning should be advanced and intensified to meet the enormous problems posed by the expected rate of urban expansion. The Board has now been equipped with the powers and administrative machinery which will be needed for comprehensive forward planning. It is to be hoped that these will be matched with the resources of finance and skills without which the new organisation for planning will be meaningless.

JUBILEE CONFERENCE-ADELAIDE.

Australia's first Town Planning and Housing Conference and Exhibition was held in Adelaide in 1917. The general pattern of this first Conference was repeated again in Adelaide in August, 1967, when the Australian Planning Institute celebrated the event by holding a Jubilee Conference and Exhibition. The theme of the exhibition illustrated the progress and achievements of town planning in Australia since 1917 and was appropriately entitled "Towards a better environment". The Board was one of a number of contributors to the exhibition. It was fitting that the Board was represented at the Congress by Mr. A. N. Kemsley who was a delegate at the original Conference and was associated with the town planning movement until his retirement as a member of the Board on 29th March, 1968. Mr. B. J. Opie, Chief Town Planner and Mr. D. G. Whitney, Town Planner, also represented the Board at the Conference. Eight Papers were presented :- "The Dynamics of Economic Progress. Australia at the Beginning and End of the Century " by the Right Hon. William McMahon, Federal Treasurer. " Canberra After Griffin " by Mr. R. Gray, of William Holford and Partners, London. "The Next Fifty Years" by Mr. Robin Boyd. " Limitations to the Social Objectives in City Planning " by Professor T. Brennan, Associate Professor, Department of Social Work, . " The Important Role of Appellate Tribunals " by Mr. K. H. Gifford. "Future Housing in Urban Australia" by Senator the Hon. Dame Annabelle Rankin, Minister for Housing. 25

"National Park Planning" by Mr. Samuel P. Weems, Director, National Parks and Wildlife Service, New South Wales. " The State Planning Authority of South Australia. The Task Ahead " by Mr. Stuart B. Hart, Director of Planning, South Australia, State Planning Office.

STAFF AND OFFICE ACCOMMODATION.

The additional staff and operational requirements of the Board necessary to meet the increased responsibilities envisaged in the amending legislation is discussed elsewhere in this Report. These requirements are of course a matter for consideration in connexion with the 1968-69 Budget. The Board was disappointed to learn that no provision for additional staff had been made in the Budget for 1967-68. Following further representations to the Minister the Board was informed that it could proceed with the appointment of a Cadet in Training and later advice was received that Treasury clearances had been received for the appointment of seven additional officers. Arrangements for filling these positions are now in hand. The Board records its deep appreciation of the loyal and devoted service of the staff led by the Chief Town Planner, Mr. Opie and the Secretary, Mr. Craig. Working conditions have not been satisfactory by any means. An apparently irreducible accumulation of work, more than the available staff can cope with, with the attendant complaints about delays, has been a heavy strain on the staff. Ironically, the limited relief that became available through the appointment of additional officers led to uncomfortable overcrowding. The Minister has taken a keen interest in the Board's work and in particular has been mindful of the difficult conditions under which it has to operate. Through his appreciation of the position and personal representations to the Treasury the Board has benefitted by two staff increases in the last two years. Though a good deal less than requested by the Board, they have been most welcome.
