  • Federal Electorate Redistributions 19 March 2021
    Barton Deakin Brief: Federal Electorate Redistributions 19 March 2021 Overview The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has proposed a redistribution of divisions in Western Australia and Victoria. Victoria will gain one seat in the House of Representatives and Western Australia will lose one, increasing the Victorian total to 39 and decreasing the Western Australian total to 15. The Division of Hawke will be created in Victoria and the Division of Stirling currently held by Vince Connelly (LPA) will be abolished. The Division of Hawke is likely to include the suburbs of Ballan, Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Diggers Rest, and Sunbury. ABC election analyst Antony Green has calculated that the two-party-preferred in Hawke will have Labor ahead with a margin of 10.2 per cent. The Coalition is not expected to increase its margins in Victoria as a result of these changes and the calculations suggest that there may be small swings against the Coalition in Kooyong, Deakin, Mallee, Menzies, Monash, Chisholm, Wannon, and Higgins. Labor is likely to increase its margins in Hotham, Fraser, Calwell, and Macnamara, and to decrease its margins in Bruce, Gellibrand, Gorton, Maribyrnong, Ballarat, Jagajaga, Isaacs, Wills, Holt, Cooper, and Bendigo. Background The AEC is required to redistribute the federal electoral divisions when: the number of MPs a state or territory is entitled to has changed; the number of electors in more than one-third of the electoral divisions in a state deviates from the average divisional enrolment by over 10 per cent for more than two months; or seven years has elapsed since the last redistribution process was determined.

  • Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution
    Barton Deakin Brief: Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution 9 April 2018 Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission (‘AEC’) announced substantial redistributions for the Electorate Divisions in Victoria and the ACT. The redistribution creates a third Federal seat in the ACT and an additional seat in Victoria. These new seats are accompanied by substantial boundary changes in Victoria and the ACT. ABC electoral analyst Antony Green has predicted that the redistribution would notionally give the Australian Labor Party an additional three seats in the next election – the Divisions of Dunkley, Fraser, and Bean – while the seat of Corangamite would become one of the most marginal seats in the country. The proposed changes will now be subject to a consultation period where objections to the changes may be submitted to the AEC. The objection period closes at 6pm May 4 in both the ACT and Victoria. A proposed redistribution for South Australia will be announced on April 13. This Barton Deakin Brief will summarize the key electoral boundary changes in the ACT and Victoria. New Seats The Redistribution Committee has proposed that four of Victoria’s electoral divisions be renamed. Additionally, two new seats are to be created in Victoria and the ACT New Seats Proposed for Victoria and ACT DIVISION OF BEAN (ACT) New seat encompassing much of the former Division of Canberra. The seat will be named after World War I war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow Green (1879-1968) DIVISION OF FRASER (VIC) New seat named after former Liberal Party Prime Minister John Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL (1930-2015), to be located in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

  • A Method for Assessing Protected Area Allocations Using a Typology of Landscape Values
    Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, Vol. 49, No. 6, 797 – 812, November 2006 A Method for Assessing Protected Area Allocations Using a Typology of Landscape Values CHRISTOPHER RAYMOND* & GREGORY BROWN*{ *School of Natural and Built Environments, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, South Australia {Green Mountain College, Poultney, VT, USA (Received August 2005; revised March 2006) ABSTRACT Traditional park and reserve selection techniques that rely exclusively on expert assessment can marginalize local knowledge and values in the review process. Using survey data from the Otways region of Victoria, Australia, we present a method that differentiates between public and private lands using locally perceived landscape values. The results are used to assess prospective national park expansion areas. Two data models of mapped landscape values—vector and raster—were analysed using discriminant analysis to classify and predict land status. Results indicate survey respondents hold more indirect and less tangible values for national parks and reserves, and more direct use values for private lands. There was moderate agreement between public and expert-derived national park boundaries. The mapping of local landscape values appears useful in planning and reviewing public land classifications, and when combined with biological assessments, can strengthen protected areas planning and management in Australia and elsewhere. Introduction Australia has a diverse protected areas system that is mainly confined to public lands (Fitzsimons & Wescott, 2004). In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to establish a reserve system that samples ecosystems in a comprehensive, adequate, and representative (CAR) manner (Figgis, 1999; Worboys et al., 2001). Conservation planning includes the process of identifying these CAR regions, developing mechanisms to achieve the protection of the system and monitoring the system for desired outcomes (Brown et al., 2004).

    Objection 3 Tim Barnes 2 pages Victorian secretariat Phone (03) 9285 7197 Fax (02) 6293 7664 Email [email protected] Thank you for allowing me to lodge an objection to the proposed 2021 Victorian Redistribution I do not profess to be any Political or Psephological expert, just an interested onlooker, but upon reviewing the proposed 2021 Victoria Redistribution a couple of points stood out to me to which seem illogical changes CHISHOLM, MENZIES, DEAKIN In the previous AEC Redistribution of Victoria in 2018, Chisholm was redrawn, removing the southern end of the Electorate removing Chadstone, Oakleigh, Oakleigh East, Huntingdale & Clayton while adding Glen Waverley, Blackburn, Blackburn North and part of Nunawading. The move was widely praised at the time, creating logical defined boundaries and including similar communities (for example – the Chinese dominated communities of Box Hill & Glen Waverley along with combining all of Blackburn, Blackburn North & South with clear dividers of Waverley Road in the South, Springvale Road in the East and Koonung Creek in the North. And the final result was a to the untrained eye was a logical shaped Electorate representing a similar community. However, the proposed 2021 AEC Redistribution undoes all of the good work from just 3 years ago, to create a 'dogs breakfast' of an Electorate. Firstly, the North of the Electorate has been cannibalised by Menzies, jumping over its long held Southern Boundary of Koonung Creek to take part of of Box Hill, Box Hill North, Blackburn, Blackburn North and Nunawading. This has created the proposed boundary divider running right along Whitehorse Road.
