  • 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.

One of the main activities for 2006/2007 has been developing Strategic Frameworks for a number of service areas. Building on the Strategic Plan, these frameworks are 5 year plans that look at service delivery areas and describe where the library service is currently at, where it would like to be and how it is going to get there. The plans have been developed in consultation with key stakeholders and the community. Outreach activities at branches continue to grow and to build communities that are informed, connected and inclusive. Usage of the new Mobile Library exceeds expectations with a 28% increase in circulation and 16% increase in visits. The Outreach vehicle is providing a popular and valued service to people in assisted living accommodation. Library services continue to be appreciated and used by almost half the residents of the region. Staff development has been another focus for the year and the implementation of the 23 Things online learning program has had a signifi cant impact on the competency and skill level of the library service. It has created a learning organisation where people feel confi dent and enthusiastic about the future of libraries.
