A brief statistical summary of some of the operations of co-operative housing societies, to the close of the year under review, is presented in a supplement to this report. The summary is necessarily brief as staff and time constraints have considerably reduced the volume of statistical information collected and details gleaned from various Australian Bureau of Statistics Bulletins are unavailable at the time of preparation of the report. REGISfRAR'S STATEMENT The year to June, 1985, was again one of great change for financial institutions and co-operative housing societies took part in these developments. The deregulation of the banking sector continued with the Federal Treasurer announcing that 16 major foreign financial institutions had been invited to make application for licences to operate banks in Australia. It was quite clear that, although not all had commenced operations, the spectre they raised was having a marked effect on the existing banks as they positioned themselves to prepare for the new entrants. This was best seen in extensive advertising campaigns, the aggressive search for funds and other measures to raise their corporate profile and operations.

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

Highland Valleys & Forests Agricultural Hinterland Lakes & Coastal The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for each sub-region are summarised below, together with broad strategies to address these. Each section summarises the current roles and functions of urban areas and rural localities in the sub-region, identifies appropriate new or enhanced roles and sets out the policies and strategies that will be applied to these areas. The listing of towns/localities is generally from west to east within each sub-region. 21.12-2 Lakes & Coastal 24/03/2016 C121 From a social and economic perspective, the Lakes & Coastal sub-region (described in Clause 21.02-3 above) has the highest population density of the Shire, with the main commercial, retail and tourist centres located along this coastal fringe. Bairnsdale is the largest town in the sub-region providing major commercial, retail, educational and public sector services. Paynesville, located approximately 16 kilometres south of Bairnsdale, has grown rapidly in recent times, as a ‘dormitory’ and a retirement area. Lakes Entrance is a major tourist destination, which also has a strong commercial fishing industry. The coastal resort town of Mallacoota, in the far east of the Shire, is a very popular holiday location and a retirement area. It is also recognised as being a base for eco-tourism and centre of the abalone industry in eastern Victoria.

    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.
