MAY 1 977 711 . 3099 1652074 454 LOO Loddon-Campaspe regional study : towards building a comprehensive planning and development strategy : final report FOREWORD In the past two decades, there has been increasing concern in the Victorian Community with the economic, social and environmental implications of the continuing concentration of population growth and economic and social opportunities in Melbourne, and the impa~t this has been having on communities outside the metropolitan area. In response to that concern, Governments at all levels have developed policies and programmes designed to enhance the range of economic and social opportunities available in non-metropolitan areas and to bring the process of Government planning and policy formulation closer to residents in those areas. -· In the development of these policies and programmes,it has been widely recognized that if they are to be effective, co-operative action by all levels of Government~ including close consultation with the communities concerned will be essential. The Regional Studies of the Loddon-Campaspe and Central Highlands Regions are an important example of this co-operation. The studies were undertaken by a team drawn from Commonwealth and State Government agencies working together closely under the joint supervision and directio~ of senio~ officers of the agencies involved. The study team undertook extensive discus~ions with munici­ palities and residents in both regions. The study team was also assisted by the establishment of an Advisory Committee made up of representatives of regional organisations in the two regions which was especially constituted as a source of advice, consultation and review. This widespread involvement of regional and municipal representatives, local residents and community organisations in the Regions with activities undertaken by the professional staff from the participating agencies has facili­ tated the production of Reports which we believe provide a sound basis for co-operative action by Local, Regional, State and Commonwealth agencies to promote the economic and social welfare of the Regions' residents. For these reasons, we welcome the publication of the Reports which we hope will receive widespread public circul~tion and discussio resulting in the fonnulation of effective policies and programmes to c ~o he future of the Regions. /•' /:/?<" ,,. ..~ ,,.. ~p 4 /.~~ DIGBY CROZIER, Minister for State Development ~·~·-;"';.• --, TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction: Page 1.

STIMULUS FOR THE STUDY The need for a study which would provide the basis for the formulation of a comprehensive planning and development strategy for the Loddon-Campaspe Region has been recognised for a long time. However, the specific stimulus for a study this time, together with that for a concurrent similar study in the Central Highlands Region, arose out of a visit to Victoria's major provincial centres in October, 1974, by the then Minister for State Development and Decentralization, the Honourable Murray Byrne, M.L.C., and the then Australian Minister for Urban and Regional Development, the Honourable Tom Uren, M.H.R. At Mr. Byrne's invitation, Mr. Uren accompanied him to Portland, Ballarat, Bendigo, and the Latrobe Valley, in order to gain an understanding of the problems and needs facing these centres and an appreciation of their potential for further development. In 1967, these four centres, together with Wodonga, had been recommended by the Decentralization Advisory Committee in its repo~t "Selection of Places Outside the Metropolis of Melbourne for Accelerated Development", as being the centres outside the Port Phillip Region which should be the subject of programmes and policies for accelerated development, in order to promote a more balanced distribution of population and employment opportunities throughout Victoria. Activity associated with planning at the regional level has accelerated considerably in the last few years. Regions are increasingly being recognised as the best level at which to tackle major planning and development problems and regional organisations are being established for a variety of purposes. The Victorian Government has formally defined regional boundaries throughout the State, and several State and Australian Government Departments have begun to organise their activities on a regional basis. At the State level, regional planning statements and policies have been issued by a number of Government

  • 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.
