History The City of Casey is on the traditional land of the Bunurong and Wurundjeri people. The City of Casey was established in 1994 following the amalgamation of almost all of the City of Berwick, much of the City of Cranbourne, and a small part of the City of Knox. The name ‘Casey’ was given to the municipality in recognition of the area’s links with Lord Richard Casey. Key facts about Casey’s growing population Casey remains one of the fastest growing regions in Australia with approximately 300,000 residents. Casey’s population currently grows by an average of 7,600 per year. The high rate of births is one of the contributing factors of population growth and in 2015 Casey welcomed the birth of 4,926 babies. Population and housing forecasts indicate that the number of residents will increase to 492,457, and the number of households will rise to 171,430 by 2041.

  • Place Names of Casey and Cardinia

    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia

    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist. Army Road, Pakenham Army Road marks the location of the Salvation Army boy's home established in Pakenham in 1900. It subsequently became a home for Girls and then an Old Men's Home. The home closed in the 1920s. The Army Road School. No.3847, operated intermittently form 1914 until 1947. (W, V) Avonsleigh John (J.W) and Anna wright owned a guesthouse called Avonsleigh House at the corner of Emerald-Macclesfield and Emerald Roads. The name was adopted in 1911. The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'. (B) Ballarto Road John Bakewell retained ownership of the Tooradin run in 1856 when his partnership with John Mickle and William Lyall dissolved.

    Frankston Planning Scheme Municipal Strategic Statement

    FRANKSTON PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT 19/01/2006 VC37 21.01 Municipal Profile 19/01/2006 VC37 21.01-1 Introduction 19/01/2006 VC37 Frankston City is situated on the eastern shore of Port Phillip approximately 42 kilometres south of Melbourne. The City covers an area of approximately 131 square kilometres from Seaford Wetlands in the north to Mount Eliza in the south and east to the Western Port Highway. The western boundary of the City consists of approximately 9.5 kilometres of Port Phillip coastline. (Refer to the Context and Regional Influence Map.) Frankston City Council was created by Order of the Governor in Council on 15 December 1994. The Council area consists of the former City of Frankston (less the Mt Eliza and Baxter District), the Carrum Downs District of the former City of Springvale and the Carrum Downs, Langwarrin and Skye Districts of the former City of Cranbourne. These districts and their communities combine to create a City of considerable physical, social, economic and cultural diversity. Frankston City is a place which, for various reasons, is perceived by people in many different ways. Michael Jones in his book “Frankston Resort to City” (1989) outlines the paradox of Frankston which is still applicable to our new City: “The township, established in 1854, has never quite been able to decide whether it is a country town servicing its hinterland, a pleasure resort, a dormitory suburb for Melbourne, the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula or a self-contained City with its own employment and retail centres.” (p19;1989) The City, through the leadership of its Council, has the responsibility for establishing, guiding and managing the development of Frankston City to establish a clear sense of place and identity.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation

    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.
