  • Why Has Soccer Not Become the Code of Football in Australia
    Deakin Research Online Deakin University’s institutional research repository DDeakin Research Online Research Online This is the authors final peer reviewed version of the item published as: Hay, Roy 2006-04, Our wicked foreign game : why has association football (Soccer) not became the main code of football in Australia?, Soccer and society, vol. 7, no. 2-3, pp. 165-186. Copyright : 2006, Taylor & Francis ..‘Our wicked foreign game’: Why has Association Football (soccer) not become the main code of football in Australia?∗ Roy Hay Sports and Editorial Services Australia Introduction Soccer, ‘our wicked foreign game’, is not the main code of football in any state in Australia, but it is probably the second in most states if measured by spectator attendance or participation.1 In Victoria, Australian rules is number one, while in New South Wales, rugby league is the dominant code. The phenomenon is not unique to Australia. None of the white dominions of the old British Empire nor the former British colony the United States has soccer as its main code, with the exception of South Africa where the non-white population has taken up Association Football.2 In most of these countries soccer is characterised as a migrants’ game, even though many of the migrants playing or watching the game are of second or later generations. Explanations for the secondary position of soccer in Australia ought therefore to be compared with those for these other countries, and if we seek a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon then the Australian story ought not to vary too much from those applied to the others, unless it can be clearly shown that Australian experience and conditions were indeed different.3 This article concentrates on the domestic experience in Australia, with a view to introducing and outlining some of the issues which might be drawn into an effective international comparison.

  • 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park
    Council Agenda 26/11/18 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park Abstract This report provides an update on the North East Link Authority (NELA) Bulleen Park land use planning project. It seeks Council support for an initial concept design for the Bulleen Park land use plan which incorporates the Boroondara Tennis Centre (BTC) and the 18-hole Freeway Golf Course (FGC). See Attachment 1 for an aerial image showing the project study area. NELA has initiated the study for the Bulleen Park area and has included the BTC and FGC in the project scope. Officers understand the aim of the project is to ensure no sporting club or facility is worse off as a result of the construction and operation of the North East Link (NEL). NELA has advised it intends to finalise the project by early 2019 for inclusion as an appendix in the NEL Environment Effects Statement (EES). NELA has conducted initial consultation about the project, with a workshop held at the Veneto Club on 8 August 2018. The workshop was attended by sporting clubs impacted by the NEL and Council representatives from Boroondara and Manningham. Officers understand NELA staff have also been meeting with sporting clubs and facility operators on an individual basis to discuss the project. Within a limited timeframe, Boroondara officers have prepared high-level concept plans for the FGC and BTC to be considered in the Bulleen Park land use planning study (Attachments 2 and 3). The plans respond to the impact of the NEL on several holes of the FGC by relocating the BTC to the same location and extending the FGC to land north of the current course edge located in Manningham.

    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Book 12 13, 14 and 15 September 2016 Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.
