I I I I I FOREWORD I This report summarises and documents the exhibition and objection process for the proposed Geelong Regional Planning Scheme. This process included I the exhibition of the proposed Scheme, the receipt and hearing of objections, investigations undertaken as a result of objections and the determinations of the Geelong Regional Planning Authority {now the Geelong I Regional Commission) in respect of each objection. The report covers the major features of the Scheme which caused public I .concern and comment, and which generated significant numbers of objections, and sets out policy decisions made by the Authority to guide determinations of such objections. Proposed policies affecting development in rural I areas of the Region were a major reason for many objections to the Scheme, and received considerable attention from the Authority. I Municipal and Government Authority objections are separately considered in the report, which briefly summarises their main elements. I The report also discusses several significant amendments to the Geelong Regional Interim Development Order which have arisen in large measure from objections to the proposed Planning Scheme and the Authority's determinations I on these objections. I In general, the report is intended to assist the Minister for Planning and the Town and Country Planning Board in considering the manner in which the Geelong Regional Planning Authority, and its legal successor, the II Geelong Regional Commission, have fulfilled their statutory obligations under the Town and Country Planning Act 1961, in respect of the exhibition I and adoption of a planning scheme for the Geelong Region. I I COLIN K. ATKINS I May 1978. CHAIRMAN I I I 1. I 1. PREPARATION AND EXHIBITION OF THE PROPOSED GEELONG REGIONAL PLANNING SCHEME I 1.1 Introduction The preparation and exhibition of the proposed Geelong Reqional I Planning Scheme has been a lengthy process which had its genesis in the creation of the Geelong Regional Planning Authority (G.R.P.A.) in I July 1969. The G.R.P.A. was set up by agreement of the nine municipalities of the Region, in consultation with the Town and Country Planning Board, and I the then Minister for Local Government, the Han. R. J. Hamer, as a regional planning authority under the provisions of Clause 12 of the · · Town and Country Planning Act, 1961. I It became the Authority's task to prepare a regional planning scheme, and over the intervening period between commencing to prepare a scheme and the approval of that scheme by the Governor in Council, to administer I planning and development control in the Region throuqh Interim Develop­ ment Orders. I This chapter sets out the steps taken by the Authority in preparing and exhibiting a proposed regional planning scheme, and also describes the administration of planning during the life of the Authority and at I present. I 1.2 Preparation of the Draft Geelong Regional Planning Scheme On the 31st July, 1969 the Geelong Regional Planning Authority, being a Responsible Authority under the·Town and Country Planning Act 1961, I resolved to prepare a planning scheme for the following area, namely the whole of the municipal districts of the Cities of Geelong, Geelong West and Newtown, the Borough of Queenscliffe, and the Shires of Bannockburn, Bellarine, Barrabool, Corio and South Barwon in accordance I with the Town and Country Planning Act 1961, and determined that the date of commencement of the preparation of such scheme be the 31st I July, 1969 (Map 1. ). At the same time there were eight planning schem~or interim develop­ ment orders in operation in the Region. These were: The Geelong I Planning Scheme (1959); the Lara Planning Scheme (1961); the Barrabool Planning Scheme (1966); the Ocean Road Planning Scheme (1955); the South Barwon Interim Development Order (1964); the Bellarine Interim Development Order (1960); the Bannockburn Interim I Development Order (1972); the Queenscliffe Interim Development Order (1971). The Connewarre Draft Planning Scheme (1961) was also in I preparation. (See Map 2) Although the Geelong Planning Scheme had initially extended .across eight of the Region's nine municipalities (all except Queenscliffe), it I had effectively been adminsitered as if it were eight separate municipal schemes. Separate amendments had been made, frequently resulting in I I I 2. I differerit planning controls applying in adjoining municipalities for the same land use.· · The Geelong Regional Planning Authority proceeded to undertake a range I of regional land use and resource studies to determine the extent to which the zoning and otherpmvisions of· the existing planning schemes ,I and interim development orders required amendment or extension of the areas covered, and to rectify anomalies between the existing schemes. A wide range of public authorities, including municipal Councils, semi­ I government bodies and government departments, were notified that the Authority had resolved to prepare a ·scheme, and were given the opport­ unity to request that specific provisions affecting their areas of I responsibility be included (Appendix A). Consultants were engaged to consolidate the existing schemes and orders, review their provisions and introduce such new elements as were consid­ I ered. desirable, to produce a draft Regional Planning Scheme. Of particular significance in determining the major provisios of the I draft scheme was the Victorian Government Statement of Planning Policy No. 7, Geelong, 1973, which set out the State•s official policy with respect to future deve 1opment fn the Region. · I The policy called for accelerated development of the Region; a high standard of protection of coastal and recreation areas, and in particular, required the Regional Planning Authority to 11 give special attention to I 11 the following:- · I 11 3.1 The evaluation of the social, economic and natural resources capable of sustaining substantial urban growth in the region. 3.2 The assessment of the suitability and capacity of land for I development paying due regard to - (a) the value of areas for nature conservation, recreation, I water catchment, farming and mineral extraction; I (b) an efficient urban servicing structure; and (c) social service requirements of the community. 3.3 The formulation of special policies designed to encourage growth I and including - (a) measures designed to ensure that existing community services I are not detrimentally affected by accelerated growth; (b) measures aimed at improving the attractiveness of Geelong I as a centre for growth; (c) measures aimed at achieving high standards in the urban and rural environment and avoiding any detriment to the ecology I of the region; I I ------------------ I 3. I (d) proposals for improved communications particularly tele­ communications, road, rail and air links to other centres I and development of port facilities; and (e) determination of the extent and level of services including the full .range of social services necessary for stimulating urban growth in the region and particularly the level to which I State instrumentalities and semi-government authorities should be committed.

  • Dissonance Surrounding the Aboriginal Origin of a Selection of Placenames in Victoria, Australia: Lessons in Lexical Ambiguity
    14. Dissonance surrounding the Aboriginal origin of a selection of placenames in Victoria, Australia: Lessons in lexical ambiguity Ian D. Clark Federation University Australia When studying the history of some 3,400 Aboriginal toponyms in Victoria, Australia, the majority of placenames were found to have no equivocalness or ambiguity about them (Clark and Heydon 2002). Although it was not possible to find meanings for every one of these Aboriginal placenames, in terms of historical accounts and folk etymology there was no ambiguity – the vast majority of the placenames are accepted in the source material as being of Aboriginal origin. This paper concerns some 26 placenames for which there is dissonance or a lack of agreement about whether or not they are Aboriginal in origin. These names are considered in some detail in an effort to resolve their lexical ambiguity and an attempt is made to explain the reasons for the ambiguity and to find any patterns and causal factors. The merits of the claims and counter claims in each case will be examined and an attempt made to categorise the assertion of Aboriginal etymology as either grounded in the historical evidence, or likely to be explained by folk etymology – that is, a false meaning based on its structure or sound that may lack historical basis but has been accepted through common practice, or explained as a false etymology that neither accords with historical evidence nor equates with folk etymologies. A critical issue when considering toponymic etymology is the fragility of toponymic knowledge and the concomitant difficulty of learning about the origins of placenames.

City of Greater Geelong Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM PART I-PRELIMINARY Clause 1 states the purposes of the Act, which are to restructure certain councils in the Geelong region, constitute the City of Greater Geelong and abolish the Geelong Regional Commission. The Greater Geelong City Council will replace six existing councils and its municipal district will incorporate part of the district of the Shire of Bannockbum and part of the district of the Barrabool Shire Council. The Councils which will be replaced by the Greater Geelong City Council are Bellarine Rural City Council, City of Geelong, City of Geelong West, City of Newtown, City of South Barwon and Shire of Corio. Clause 2 states that with the exception of section 24, the Act comes into operation on the day it receives Royal Assent. Clause 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Act. Most of the new arrangements are to take effect on the "appointed day" which is defined to be the day on which the Bill receives Royal Assent. Clause 4 states that the Act must be construed as one with the Local Government Act 1989 but that in the case of any inconsistency this Act prevails.

  • Buckley Falls Park
    BUCKLEY FALLS PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENT AUGUST 1991 33?·. 1: .$!) ~ t. i FOREWORD Buckley Falls Park is one of Geelong's prime conservation and recreation areas although this has not always been recognised. Despite its proximity to the centre of Geelong and its significant recreational potential only a relatively small proportion of local residents, let alone visitors to the region, are aware of the area. This Management Plan aims to raise the profile of Buckley Falls Park to ensure that its natural, cultural and recreational values are managed in a balanced way for the benefit of the community. Through the implementation of this Plan, the conservation and recreation corridor along the Barwon River will be extended thereby further enhancing Geelong's open space system. This Management Plan has been prepared by a number of organisations and individuals and I thank them for thetr efforts and a fine result. The Plan recognises and documents the great natural, historical, recreational and landscape values of the Park. It proposes detailed management actions of varying levels of priority for implementation. · The Plan provides a set of long-term guidelines for the management of all aspects of the Park. It is recommended that the existing Committees of Management and any future Committees with responsibility for the area adopt the Plan in principle to ensure that the Park is conserved while allowing for a balance of uses. There is much goodwill in the general community at an organisational, individual This Management Plan was prepared by: and corporate level for the management of the area.
