    Heritage Place Name Eastern Market Gates (Former) - Altona Memorial Park Address Dohertys Road, Altona North Heritage Overlay No. Not applicable Heritage Precinct(s) Not applicable Significance Local Style & Type Victorian wrought iron gates Significant Dates 1880, 1968 Designer Reed & Barnes Builder Unknown Statement of Significance What is Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former), originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Eastern Market complex in the City of Melbourne and relocated to the Altona Memorial Park in 1968, at Dohertys Road, Altona North. How is it Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former) are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, they are significant as perhaps the only publicly surviving remnant of the famous Eastern Market of Melbourne. They are also of interest for their associations with the notable architectural firm of Reed & Barnes. (AHC criterion B2) Aesthetically, they are significant as fine examples of their style and type and provide an appropriate formal note to the entrance to the Memorial Gardens. (AHC criterion E1) Hobsons Bay Heritage Study Amended 2017 - Volume 3 – Heritage Precinct and Place Citations Part 2 – Heritage Places – Dohertys Road, Altona North (Eastern Market Gates) Page 1 of 4 Page 197 of 1082 History Contextual History The twentieth century trend towards cremation rather than burial, and the increasing lack of space at Williamstown Cemetery led the Trustees of the Williamstown cemetery to move towards establishing Memorial Park at Altona North in the postwar years. Although the Trust took out an option on this land in 1947, the new Cemetery did not open until 1961.

  • 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.

Have your say You are invited to have your say about new legislation being developed to regulate the exhibition of live animals and the keeping of live animals for exhibition. The proposed legislation would modernise Queensland’s legislative framework for regulating exhibited animals. A single, cohesive regulatory framework would replace the provisions that are currently spread across several Acts. The legislation would simplify the licensing requirements for exhibitors in Queensland and allow a greater range of species to be exhibited, provided the risks were managed. This consultation draft Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) explains why new legislation is needed, describes options for regulation and details the impacts of each option. It also fulfils requirements under the Competition Principles Agreement (see Part 7). The RIS is being released in draft form for consultation so that public comments can be considered before it is finalised.

  • Altona Meadows Neighbourhood Past, Current and Future Development
    Published by Hobsons Bay City Council December 2013 Altona Meadows Neighbourhood Past, Current and Future Development Altona Meadows Neighbourhood Profile 5 Location Altona Meadows is bounded to the north by the Princes Freeway, Laverton Creek and the Werribee railway line. The eastern border is formed by a line which follows the edge of residential development and then cuts along Queen Street to follow Laverton Creek. Port Phillip Bay is to the south of the neighbourhood and Skeleton Creek and Crellin Avenue South are to the west. History and development Aboriginal History The Hobsons Bay City Council Heritage Study notes that “most of the coastal territory of what is now regarded as the Melbourne metropolitan area and the Mornington Peninsula was, in pre-contact times, the territory of the Bunurong people. The Bunurong were divided into six different clans or tribes. Those who lived in the area now covered by Hobsons Bay (and stretching around to Albert Park) were the Yalukit-willam people” 1. Yalukit-willam: The First People of the City of Hobsons Bay 2 a publication written by Dr Ian Clark, commissioned by the Hobsons Bay City Council, refers to the Yalukit-willam being “semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers who moved around within the limits of their territory to take advantage of seasonably available food”. Hunting was generally undertaken by the men and included kangaroos, possums, lizards and fish while the women gathered a range of food such as yam, wild cherries and murnong which was something like a yam. “In the early years of European settlement murnong grew profusely along the Kororoit Creek and other creeks in the area”.
