City of Stonnington – Grant In 2012 the Prahran Historical & Arts Society applied to the City of Stonnington for a Grant of $1,000 to assist with the digitalization of The Prahran Telegraph by TROVE. The Grant was approved and has been forwarded to TROVE. Thank you to the City of Stonnington for their support for this project and ongoing support for the Prahran Historical & Arts Society Inc. A Brief History of the Establishment of the Victoria Gardens, Prahran Michael Fleming Ph.D PART 2 Although the loan had been approved, the change in the numbers in the council gave the ‘opposition’ the ability to demand details of purchases made to date. It was revealed that at an auction on 22nd July 1884 four acres of land had been purchased on High-street east for £5,660. The land had previously belonged to a non-resident and had been used for many years by a farmer to graze his cows rent-free! It was also revealed that the mayor had bid personally and had, in fact, exceeded the council reserve by £500 in order to secure the loan.(Cooper, op. cit. p.287 has the date as 22nd June, but the auction was held on 22nd July according to The Chronicle. Cooper’s date precedes the loan!) A year later, on 7th August 1885, the Governor and his wife ceremonially entered the city of Prahran. Lady Loch declared open ‘the lands of the City of Prahran known as the Toorak Gardens, the Victoria Gardens and the Prahran Reserve, dedicated to public use and enjoyment as pleasure grounds and places of recreation.’ The Victoria Gardens were the four acres of land in High-street purchased so secretly. The mayor of Prahran at this time was CR. G. W. Taylor, Esq. and the gardens were named for his wife Victoria, not the reigning monarch (Prahran Chronicle, 14 August 1885). That is the last of the Victoria Gardens in the official history of Prahran for it is concerned with people and events rather than things. The gardens are a living thing and have continued on. The history of the gardens can be divided into four distinct periods. The first period, 1885-1918, was the heyday of the gardens as the epitome of Victorian era recreational use. The second period, 1919-1945, was the time when the gardens were changed from their original design and entered into a state of decline and neglect.

    Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS Victoria section Best known location: Malvern Town Hall (Melbourne) Compton theatre organ 3 manuals, 17 ranks Console came from organ originally in Astoria theatre, Old Kent Road, London, England. Pipework is of mixed origins. Malvern is a suburb 7.5km southeast of the Melbourne CBD. The impressive Town Hall on the corner of High Street and Glenferrie Road is a jewel in the crown of the local government area known as the City of Stonnington, and the building is also known as the Stonnington City Centre. It was built in 1885-6, late Victorian and Italianate in style. The clock tower was added in 1890, and council chambers and a portico in Glenferrie Road were added in 1927. It is regarded as being aesthetically and historically significant in heritage terms. The main auditorium (or ballroom) has a vaulted ceiling and pendant lighting; there is a rear gallery. Seating capacity is about 600. In 1994 the City of Malvern and most of the City of Prahran were amalgamated to become the City of Stonnington. The 3 manuals 17 ranks Compton organ now installed in the Malvern Town Hall is owned by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia (Victoria division). Members David Cross and Norm McClure had purchased a 3 manual Compton console that had been one of twin consoles at the Astoria theatre, Old Kent Road, London, England, together with 5 ranks of pipes; these had been further acquired by Frank Douglas, and imported by him. In July 1969 TOSA decided to purchase these from Douglas.

  • 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.

Intactness x Good Fair Poor PHOTOS No. 181 Kooyong Road, Toorak. (Source: b.domainstatic.com.au) 1 City of Stonnington Anthemion Consultancies 2016 Kearney’s Map of Melbourne and Its Suburbs (1855). This shows the area only having isolated development. History The name ‘Toorak’ is now synonymous with wealth, prestige and first class residential real estate. This association was equally relevant one hundred and fifty years ago when James Jackson built his mansion on 148 acres of well-wooded land, and named it ‘Toorak House’. ‘Toorak House’ was not only the grandest mansion in the colony, but also became the vice-regal residence from 1854. The name ‘Toorak”, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘reedy swamp’ or ‘duckweed’ (originating from the amount of this weed found floating on the marshy flats between Toorak Road and the river), was an unusual choice for a prestigious house which in turn gave its name to a prestigious suburb.1 The early development of the immediate environs was characterised by the mansion estates. In Kooyong Road immediately opposite No. 177 Kooyong Road on the east side was ‘Kenley” (north- east corner of Kooyong and Albany Roads) and abutting it to the south was ‘Wombaleno’, the carriage drives of which were both directly opposite No.

    CHAPEL STREET PRECINCT HERITAGE PRECINCT CITATION Part HO126 NAME OF PLACE: Chapel Street Precinct. OTHER NAMES OF PLACE: None. ADDRESS / LOCATION: Centred on Chapel Street South Yarra, Prahran and Windsor. Refer Schedule of Buildings appended to this document PROPERTY INFORMATION: Not available. EXISTING LISTINGS: Part HO126. The National Trust of Australia (Vic) maintains a file on the street (B7144). LEVEL OF SIGNFICANCE: The section between Commercial Road and High Street is significant at a National level, the sections north of Commercial Road and south of High Street, are significant at a State level. Some satellite elements within the broader precinct are significant at a local level. ASSESSED BY: John Statham, Heritage Advisor, City of Stonnington. ASSESSMENT DATE: May 2012. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE What is significant? Chapel Street is a remarkably intact commercial strip comprised principally of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century shops. A number of notable individual buildings are located within the street. These include buildings of State significance such as the Prahran Town Hall buildings (HO15, VHR H0203) and the Prahran Arcade (HO16, VHR H1960) and large numbers of retail and commercial premises of local significance. This latter group includes shops from the 1850s to 1860s (Nos 24-26, 92, 302 and others), premises from the boom and Edwardian periods and buildings across the various periods of development of very high individual significance such as, the former CBA Bank (No 340-44) and former Brown, Corke & Co buildings (No265-7) and the Edwardian emporia. Postwar development is uncommon within the precinct and, with few exceptions, is generally recessive in character The central sections of Chapel Street between Malvern Road and High Street retain the highest concentration of significant buildings.
