    ROTARY CLUB OF GLEN WAVERLEY INC. District 9810 Victoria Australia Registered Association A 13095A ABN: 45849639921 Volume 1 : Issue 4 : July 2020 CLUB NEWSLETTER Future Rotary Club Meetings March to August 2020 The current COVID-19 pandemic in Australia has made it necessary to restructure how we meet as a Club. Our weekly venue, the Village Green Hotel in Mulgrave has closed it’s doors in order to conform to the strict social distancing requirements imposed on our community by the Victorian Government. In addition, social gatherings have been restricted to people who normally live together and more importantly, people over the age of 70 have been actively discouraged from leaving their homes during the pandemic. With effect from March 2020, we now meet in the virtual world of ZOOM every other Monday at 7pm. Invitations to attend are sent out by our Secretary to all members in advance of the planned ZOOM meeting. This new meeting format enables our Club to conduct it’s business and review progress on initiatives both current and planned but without the physical social interaction and dinner that we normally enjoy. Future developments with regard to the COVID-19 restrictions and it’s impact on our Club will be advised through the Club Bulletin. In the meantime, enjoy recent articles of interest. Mutunyi Farmers Training Centre Matching District Grant, Progress Report at July 2020 The fruits of this program are continued to appear. We set out with the aim to have this project meet the need to train subsistence farmers with the skills to produce food.

  • 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.

  • Appendix 1: CHURCHES Schools and Churches Were Very Early Institutions to Emerge in the Mulgrave Area
    Appendix 1: CHURCHES Schools and churches were very early institutions to emerge in the Mulgrave area. Of these, churches became the vital link between individual families and the community at large. Schools were a supplement, but since children were not dropped at the school gate as they often are now, but walked the miles alone, there was minimal adult interaction at school. News came with the distinctive twist only children can add, and adults had to be content with wondering – until they could get to church. The weekly family outing to church meant many things. It was a break from the toil of the week, an excuse for (or to some, the unnecessary imposition of) the weekly scrub-up and dress up. Then came the important part – seeing all the other far-flung families. Who had new clothes, whose cart had been painted, whose mare had foaled, was anyone sick or had an accident or (hush hush) was expecting? What rain had other properties had, what were prices like, how were the crops growing? All sorts of news was exchanged. As well as substituting for a local paper, church was the centre of social events. Before any other clubs were options, people found in the after-church “gossip” their garden friends, sport partners, charitable works inspirers, skill mentors, recipe swappers, and every other type of friend and social contact. Sometimes such contacts became business associates and paying work was arranged. Also picnics, dances, entertainments, and other events were most often church activities. No one would miss church! Some even enjoyed the church service too.
