The year brought a wonderful sense of excitement, and was characterised by outstanding achievement across the entire organisation. After several years of intensive development, Melbourne Museum Stage One was opened by the Premier of Victoria, the Hon. Steve Bracks MP, on 21 October 2000. The remaining exhibition galleries were opened in stages between December and May. The completion of the staged opening marked the culmination of an unprecedented development program for Museum Victoria. Over five years, $315 million was committed to not only the creation of Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum and the Melbourne Planetarium, but also to the relocation of the entire State Collection. Growth of the scale we have experienced would not have been possible without the financial support of the Victorian Government, which provided the necessary capital funding for these major development

  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.

As many degrees of symbiosis, a phenomenon in which two unrelated organisms coexist over a prolonged period of time while depending on each other, occur, it is not easy to unequivocally define parasitism (Cheng, 1991).

  • Inquiry Into the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Tourism and Events Sectors Submission 119
    LC EIC Inquiry into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and events sectors Submission 119 Parliament of Victoria, Legislative Council Economy and Infrastructure Committee Inquiry into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and events sectors Museums Victoria submission 1. About Museums Victoria Museums Victoria is Australasia’s largest museum organisation, comprising three museums – Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and the Immigration Museum – the Royal Exhibition Building and IMAX Melbourne. In 2018-19 we connected with more than 9 million people at our museums, across our digital platforms and through our outreach program. Museums Victoria manages the State Collection of more than 17 million objects that record Victoria’s social, natural and cultural histories. This collection is a vital foundation for research and ongoing discovery into Victoria’s society and environment, with research shared globally through partnerships with leading research institutions. 2. Coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic’s impact has had both immediate and long-term impact on Museums Victoria. Lockdowns during 2020 caused Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and the Immigration Museum to be closed to all visitors for a total of 35 weeks. This directly impacted almost all revenue streams for the museums, with no admissions or related commercial activity (onsite retail, retail and event catering, venue hire, car park). The museums reopened to the public on 16 November 2020. While there was strong demand for tickets, capacity and density limitations slowed recovery during a typically peak visitation period. The lack of tourism audiences has been and continues to be particularly significant.
