NICHOLS'ON STRATEGY AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION I The Paynesville to Nicholson Strategy has been formulated from a comprehensive review and analysis of the socio-~·conomic structure of the Study Area; the role of tourism, along with a review of the Gippsland I Lakes Land Use Strategy Plan (1978), an examination of conservation areas and an assessment of the role of agriculture in the Study Area. This review and analysis of data and policy issues is presented in a separate I background report "Review and Analysis". This document, "Paynesville to Nicholson Strategy", establishes a policy framework and provides a basis for the implementation of the Strategy. Thus, the Paynesville to Nicholson Strategy comprises two (2) reports. The first is a review and analysis of data and policy issues and the second a presentation of the Strategy and its implementation for the Study Area. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I - 4 - I 2.0 POLICY CONTEXT This section discusses the relevance of the Study Area within the context I of established state and local government planning policy. fi The Study Area includes that part of the Shire of Bairnsdale abutting the I Gippsland Lakes between Banksia Peninsula and the Nicholson township. I 2 .1 State Government Perspective The high quality natural environment of the Study Area is currently experiencing significant development pressures, especially in and around I the urban areas of Paynesville, Eagle Point and Raymond Island. The resolution of the sometimes conflicting interests of conservation and development was an important consideration in the preparation of land use I policies for the Study Area in 1978. The Ministry for Planning & Environment together with the Department of Conservation Forests & Lands are currently reviewing the Gippsland Lakes I Land Use Strategy Plan (1978) and it is anticipated that tne conclusions and recommendations of this study will provide a valuable input to the I review. Located within the Study Area are a number of sites of geological and geomorphological significance as well as native flora and fauna habitats I of high conservation value most of which are Crown Land Reserves. Many of these eco-systems are delicately balanced and sensitive to any change in the existing environment. These reserves are managed by the Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands in accordance with Land I Conservation Council Final Recommendations (1983). Recognizing the conservation value of the many land areas and water bodies I located within the Study Area, there is also major potential for the growing tourism based economy centred around the Lakes to be further encouraged. More particularly, the Victorian Tourism Commission has I recognized the Gippsland Lakes as one of the seven resort zones identified for development in the State of Victoria. The Victorian Tourism Gommission is currently preparing a Tourism Development Plan for the East G.ippsland Region. The tourism sec tor has also been identified in the I State Govermne.nt's Economic Strategy (1984) as one of Victoria's economic strengths. I 2.2 Local Perspective I Policy at the local level rests primarily on the statutory planning controls contained in the Shire of Bairnsdale IDO 1977. Policies of State Government agencies such as the Ministry for Conservation, Forests and Lands, Ministry for Planning and Environment and the Division of Ports I and Harbours are acknowledged in the Shire of Bairnsdale IDO, the local planning instrument for the Study Area. A number of amendments to the 1977 IDO have been approved by the Ministry for Planning and Environment, I the most significant of these being Am. No. 3 gazetted in August, 1983. This amendment introduced a number of new zones into the Shire of Bairnsdale IDO to accommodate a range of higher density residential and I tourist-commercial developments as well as marine related activities in Paynesville. I I - 5 - This current Study encompasses a:review of the Shire of Bairnsdale IDO I 1 (1977) as it relates to the conclusion and' recommendations of the ~·.· Paynesville to Nicholson Strategy. The propos~d statutory modifications I to the 1977 IDO are· included as Appendix 1 to this report. In the course of this Study, the Consultants uni:iertook an extensive local consultation programme. Letters were sent to a wide range of community I interest groups to invite submissions and notify dates for public meetings to be held at Nicholson and Paynesville. Advertisements were also placed in the local paper outlining the Study and inviting members of the public I to at tend the meetings. Interviews with representatives in Local Government, community associations, business operators and developers as well as State I Government Departments and Agencies were also undertaken. The Consultants reporte.d to a Steering Committee· comprised of I representatives from the following State and Local Government agencies: Ministry for Planning and Environment, Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands, I Ports and Harbours Division, and the I Shire of Bairnsdale. I I I I I I I I I I I I - 6 - I 1 3. 0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS '·" . .f~·- I 3.1 Summary of Conclusions The document "Review and Analysis" contains a series of conclusions to the I Study which are summarized as follows: 3.1.1 Population Levels and Trends I The principal conclusions to be drawn from the assessment of population trends are as follows: I Substantial population growth is occurring in the study area exceeding that recorded for the region in general.

    EAST GIPPSLAND PLANNING SCHEME 21.12 STRATEGIES FOR SUB-REGIONS, TOWNS & LOCALITIES 24/03/2016 C121 21.12-1 Sub-regions 04/04/2013 C113 East Gippsland, for planning purposes, can be divided into four relatively homogeneous economic and geographic areas, as shown in the following diagram. Highland Valleys & Forests Agricultural Hinterland Lakes & Coastal The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for each sub-region are summarised below, together with broad strategies to address these. Each section summarises the current roles and functions of urban areas and rural localities in the sub-region, identifies appropriate new or enhanced roles and sets out the policies and strategies that will be applied to these areas. The listing of towns/localities is generally from west to east within each sub-region. 21.12-2 Lakes & Coastal 24/03/2016 C121 From a social and economic perspective, the Lakes & Coastal sub-region (described in Clause 21.02-3 above) has the highest population density of the Shire, with the main commercial, retail and tourist centres located along this coastal fringe. Bairnsdale is the largest town in the sub-region providing major commercial, retail, educational and public sector services. Paynesville, located approximately 16 kilometres south of Bairnsdale, has grown rapidly in recent times, as a ‘dormitory’ and a retirement area. Lakes Entrance is a major tourist destination, which also has a strong commercial fishing industry. The coastal resort town of Mallacoota, in the far east of the Shire, is a very popular holiday location and a retirement area. It is also recognised as being a base for eco-tourism and centre of the abalone industry in eastern Victoria.

  • 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.

Judy Maddigan MP President Speaker Legislative Council Legislative Assembly Parliament House Parliament House MELBOURNE MELBOURNE Dear Presiding Officers Under the provisions of section 16AB of the Audit Act 1994, I transmit my audit report on East Gippsland Shire Council: Proposed sale of Lakes Entrance property. Yours faithfully JW CAMERON Auditor-General 20 July 2005 v Foreword This report contains the results of our review of the East Gippsland Shire Council’s processes and actions in attempting to sell a property at 55 Palmers Road, Lakes Entrance, and in settling an associated legal action. A number of deficiencies in the council’s processes and actions are highlighted in the report, including: x lack of evidence that a comprehensive analysis was undertaken prior to pursuing the sale of the property x inadequate due diligence on prospective purchasers of the property x poorly conducted tender process for the sale of the property which was further compromised by the actions of the then mayor x lack of transparency to the community and inadequate community consultation x deficiencies in advice from council officers to the council. The report draws out a number of important lessons from the events surrounding the sale of the property which should be considered by all local governments when planning the disposal of significant public assets.
