The James Street Heritage Precinct, which comprises all land in HO17 and generally includes properties with a frontage to James Street, Williamstown. How is it Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobson’s Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, James Street was one of the first private residential subdivisions in the area to the north of Ferguson Street and includes some of the oldest houses in this area at No. 11 and 22. Many of the houses were associated with the maritime industry in Williamstown. It is therefore important for its ability to illustrate an important phase in the early development of the Private Survey residential area when Williamstown was the main port of Melbourne. (AHC criteria A4 and D2) Aesthetically, it is significant for its distinctive and consistent nineteenth century residential character, which derives from the presence of a number of architecturally significant and contributory houses which encompass a wide range of domestic architectural styles from the mid to late Victorian period. The historic setting of the dwellings is enhanced by remnant early street detailing including the basalt kerb and channels. (AHC criterion E1) On this basis, the following properties and other elements contribute to the significance of the precinct: . James Street (odd) 1-11, 15-19 (inclusive) (even) 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20 and 22.. basalt kerb and channel.

History Thematic history The City of Williamstown Conservation Study (1993) makes the following observation when describing the early residential development of the town: .. private subdivision had already started to alter Williamstown’s shape before 1855 with a faster response to new demands and opportunities. Most of the land north of Ferguson Street (the town’s boundary) had been sold in large lots and from the early 1850s on, what was, in its layout, virtually another town began to grow, up as far as Yarra Street. In contrast to the orderly and spacious layout of the “government” town, there emerged a network of narrow streets and lanes, which crossed a series of east/west streets paralleling Ferguson Street. Specific history James Street was originally known as Street No. 13 until it was officially gazetted with its present name on 4 May 1855. It was named for James Moxham who advertised some of the first blocks of land for sale in this street in 1856. Early development in the street is demonstrated by the basalt houses at No. 11 (constructed c.1858) and No. 22 (c.1858), which can be seen in the Cox plan of 1864. The c.1894 MMBW Record Plan shows that the street was almost entirely developed by this stage. Description The James Street Heritage Precinct is a relatively intact residential precinct of predominantly detached, single-storey, houses. The street is wide and has bluestone kerbs and gutters. The houses are set back from the street by gardens, ranging from small to large. Most of the houses on the east side of the street are sited diagonally to the street boundary. Stylistically the houses are predominantly mid to late nineteenth century, however, there are some that are Edwardian and Inter-war. The housing stock is characterised by: . the predominant single storey scale and detached siting. pitched roof forms. detached siting. verandahed forms. punched fenestration occupying less than 50% of the wall surface. basalt kerb and channel. Fences are general low and, although not original, are generally sympathetic. There is an original cast iron palisade fence at No. 4. The condition of the houses is good, and the integrity is moderate. Some notable examples include a locally rare example of a Victorian terrace at No.1, the block fronted single storey villa at No. 2 and the basalt double fronted houses at Nos. 11 and 22. Integrity High – The few modern intrusions are isolated to the northernmost part of the street. Context James Street is one of a number of early residential streets extending between Ferguson and Stevedore Streets. Hobsons Bay Heritage Study Amended 2017 - Volume 3 – Heritage Precinct and Place Citations Part 1 – Heritage Precincts – James Street Heritage Precinct Page 2 of 4 Page 112 of 240 Comparative Analysis James Street is one of the most intact nineteenth century streets in the Private Survey Residential Precinct.

  • 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.
