  • 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.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.

  • Victorian Community History Awards 2020
    Victorian Community History Awards 2020 Proudly participating in History Month Victorian Premier’s History Award This award recognises the most outstanding community history project in any category. Born in Hamburg in 1835, Charles Troedel became an apprentice lithographer to his father before being recruited to Melbourne by a Norwegian printer. Troedel founded his own business in 1863 and attracted praise for The Melbourne Album, which is reproduced here. A master of lithography, the technique of printing on stone which transformed the production of graphic arts, Troedel gained great success in commercial advertising. He employed notable artists to design thousands of posters, labels, letterheads, business cards and programmes. Amanda Scandamaglia’s elegant book is based on the huge Troedel archive in the State Library of Victoria. She skillfully places Troedel’s work in an Australian and international context without losing sight of the firm’s Melbourne base and city clients such as Guest’s Biscuits, the Carlton Brewery, fashion houses, theatres and sporting clubs. This book is in part a history of 19th century Australian advertising ‘through the lens of the lithograph’. Advertising both reflected and promoted social trends such as alcohol consumption, smoking and the obsession with cleanliness. Then as now, technological breakthroughs, in this case lithography, affected social patterns. Above all, this is a commercial, social and cultural history, written in a scholarly style but with strong popular appeal. Highly original, this book is visually superb and endlessly fascinating. Printed on Stone: The Lithographs of Charles Troedel Amanda Scardamaglia Melbourne Books, Melbourne, 2020 2 3 Judges’ Special Prize Collaborative Community History Award The judges can award a special prize for any outstanding entry outside of This award recognises the best community collaborative work which established categories.
