His Excellency, The Honourable Dr Davis McCaughey, Governor of Victoria. Your Excellency, The Council of the University of Melbourne has the honour, in accordance with Section 46 of the University Act 1958, to present the first part of its report on the proceedings of the University during the year 1986. In addition to a general account of University activities, Part One of the Annual Report includes a statement of income and expenditure in respect of the General Fund as submitted for audit. Part Two of the Annual Report, which will be issued later, will be the audited financial statement. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Excellency's most obedient servant, R. DOUGLAS WRIGHT Chancellor. INTRODUCTION Demand for places in the University of Melbourne's courses remained high in 1986. Of the 15,000 applicants, the University was able to take just over one-fifth. The University would like to take more students but so far has been unsuccessful in its bids for additional funds. In a submission to the Commonwealth Tertiary Education Commission, the University outlined a plan for controlled expansion, but the Victorian Post-Secondary Education Commission did not support this initiative. The University is awaiting the conclusions of the Commonwealth Commission with interest. The University continued its special admissions scheme—for students who would not normally gain entry under existing selection procedures but who have been disadvantaged culturally, economically or socially. Two hundred and thirty-three students were enrolled from 1,223 applications. Initially the scheme was introduced for a trial period of three years and during 1987 the University will consider whether the scheme should continue. Other special entry schemes—including one for Aboriginals and another for refugees in the Faculty of Medicine—also continued. By any standard 1986 was a momentous year for Australian universities. Government and business initiatives taken during the year may well change the face of Australian tertiary education. With Commonwealth Government encouragement, universities and colleges began, tentatively, to market courses overseas. The University's own Graduate School of Management introduced a Diploma of Management Studies for fee-paying overseas students. Students are expected to come from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and China. While it is too early to judge the effect these courses may have on the tertiary education sector, they highlight the need for universities to be flexible, to be willing to develop new strategies and to experiment with new forms of teaching. The new private university being developed in Queensland will also create challenges. During 1986 the University was extremely active—in teaching, research and community involvement. Three reviews of academic activities were conducted during the year—in the School of Botany, Department of Psychology and Department of Architecture and Building. Reports have been completed and are being considered by the appropriate University committees. These regular reviews of our activities, academic and administrative, while uncomfortable for participants at times, help to ensure the University remains efficient and effective. In research, the University has had an excellent year. Our Australian Research Grants Scheme grants increased by 28 per cent to more than $3 million, and National Health and Medical Research grants topped $6.5 million—an increase of 19 per cent over 1985. Other research achievements included the signing of agreements with biotechnology companies to develop tests for breast cancer, the opening of new research laboratories in Agriculture and Forestry and Veterinary Science. Grants from other government agencies and from private sources also increased. A Re-entry Research Fellowship Scheme has also been introduced to help women whose research has been interrupted by having children to revive their research careers. One of the most exciting developments during the year was the opening of the new Graduate School of Management building in Leicester Street. When Mr Hawke, the Prime Minister, officially opened the building it was the culmination of years of planning and outstanding co-operation between the University, private enterprise and Federal and State Governments. The corporate sector contributed $3 million for the four-storey $10 million building. The Graduate School of Management is one of two national schools of management in Australia. As a University one of our vital roles is to safeguard intellectual standards. Early in 1986 the University, with other Victorian universities and some colleges of advanced education, alerted the Victorian community to the lack of public debate over aspects of the proposed Victorian Certificate of Education. Our concern was that educational standards could be placed in jeopardy. During the rest of the year many of the issues raised were debated at meetings throughout the State. Naturally, our main aim was to ensure that the Victorian Certificate of Education develops in a way that encourages able students and advances the nation's technology and culture. The University will continue to monitor these issues. In administration, the University initiated moves to modernize its Personnel Services and develop a staff training and development scheme. An occupational health unit has been established, and advisers appointed to help prevent problems of sexual harassment. Three building projects were completed—a computer centre, Graduate School of Management and childcare centre in Bouverie Street. A refurbishment of Melba Hall provided greater impetus to music in the University and the City of Melbourne during the last part of the year. On 18 November 1986, the Industrial Registrar of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission issued his decision granting registration to the Australian Association of University Staff (AAUS) as an organization of employees under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1903-1985. Within a few days the AAUS served a Letter of Demand and an accompanying log of claims on the Australian Universities Industrial Association (AUIA) and its member universities. Negotiations were concluded successfully early in 1987 and a consent award for salaries was made by the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, effective from 12 February 1987. COUNCIL Professor Emeritus Sir Douglas Wright was elected Chancellor for a further term, and the Honourable Mr Justice Northrop and Mrs F.S. Maries were elected Deputy Chancellors. Professor K.C. Lee Dow, who had been re-elected Chairman of the Academic Board, and Professor M.M. Manion, who had been re-elected Deputy Chairman, were appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellors for 1986. Council in March received advice that Dr J.D. McCaughey and the Honourable Sir Daryl Dawson had resigned. The vacancy for a member elected by the graduates was filled by Mr T.P. Bruce, who joined Council for its meeting in May. The vacancy for a member co-opted by Council was filled by Sir Edward Woodward who joined Council for its meeting in June. In April, Council received advice that Dr D.F. Smith had resigned. The vacancy for a member appointed by the Governor-in-Council to represent agricultural interests was filled by Dr D.E. Hore who joined Council for its meeting in August. Also in August, Council welcomed Mr M.K. Collins as a senior officer of the Department of Education appointed to Council by the Minister. At its June meeting, Council was advised of the resignation of Ms L. D'Ambrosio. The vacancy for a member elected by the undergraduates was filled by Mr R.A. Millar, a further new member to join Council for its meeting in August. July Council adopted a minute of appreciation of the late Dame Margaret Blackwood, Deputy Chancellor of the University from 1980 to 1983. In October, Council was advised that Ms V. Williams had been elected by the undergraduate students as a member of Council for a term commencing on 1 January, 1987. Also in October, Council appointed as Pro-Vice-Chancellors for 1987 Professor M.M. Manion and Professor G.B. Ryan, following their election as Chairman and Vice-Chairman, respectively, of the Academic Board for that year. Council in November was advised that Professor D.G. Penington had been elected to the consequential vacancy for a member elected by the professors, for a term commencing on 1 January, 1987. Council in November received advice that Dr J.M. Brett had resigned with effect from 31 December 1986. In December Council was advised that the vacancy would be filled by Dr J.M. Armstrong, who had been elected by the academic staff other than professors. Also in December, Mr E. Thornley replaced Mr A. Watson as President of the Students' Representative Council and accordingly assumed the ex officio position on Council. Council agreed that from 1 January, 1987 the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Staff), Professor G.V. Stanley, would replace the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor J.F. Lovering, as a Deputy Vice-Chancellor appointed to Council ex officio. December Council was the last meeting for Ms L.E. Staley and Dr J.M. Brett, who were thanked for the service they had given. PROFESSORS The following professors took up their appointments to Chairs in 1986: Professor D.E. Allan (Business Law), Professor C.I. Johnston (Medicine), Dr K.P.

  • A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City
    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

This association was equally relevant one hundred and fifty years ago when James Jackson built his mansion on 148 acres of well-wooded land, and named it ‘Toorak House’. ‘Toorak House’ was not only the grandest mansion in the colony, but also became the vice-regal residence from 1854. The name ‘Toorak”, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘reedy swamp’ or ‘duckweed’ (originating from the amount of this weed found floating on the marshy flats between Toorak Road and the river), was an unusual choice for a prestigious house which in turn gave its name to a prestigious suburb.1 The early development of the immediate environs was characterised by the mansion estates.

  • Melbourne Club Members and Daughters Dinner
    MELBOURNE CLUB MEMBERS AND DAUGHTERS DINNER Friday 2nd August 2019 Mr Richard Balderstone, Vice President, Melbourne Club Members Daughters, Grand Daughters, God Daughters, Step-Daughters, Daughters-in-Law and Nieces First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. A few months ago, I asked a friend, a member of this Club, if he could tell me a little about the history of the Club, as I was preparing to say a few words for this evening’s dinner. I did not understand just how much he would warm to the task, until he delivered to my door, your Club History. That is, what I thought was your Club History. As I blanched under the weight of it, I realised that this was not your Club History as such – at least, not your full Club History. It dealt only with the period 1838 to 1918! Although I could barely lift it, it still had 101 years left to go, just to reach current times! So, please don’t test me on its finer details: I may not have digested every word of it. I did read enough though, to be struck by the Club’s long history, and how it runs parallel with so much of what has occurred across that time in our State. 1 That makes me observe that, similarly, the history of my role runs alongside the last 180 years of what has happened right here and across what later became known as Victoria.
