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. -

I am excited to present a $12.226m Capital Expenditure program for 2014/15 which sees Council contributing $7.844m towards that total, an increase of $1.44m since last year. This is a major focus of this year’s budget and delivers a real increase of 22% in Council funding for capital works. The focus of the budget this year has been to address the renewal of our existing infrastructure, whilst setting a longer term course to bring down the rate of increase in our charges, particularly rates, for our community. Rates and garbage charges for 2014/15 will average $1,567, an increase of 6.0% (as compared with a 6.4% last year). -

Please email us on [email protected] if you have information to include in our next newsletter. What's in a name? By Lyn Skillern The study of the origins of place names is a fascinating one. Why were rivers and mountains given their names? Who named our towns? Were then named after a person? What do these words mean? Bob Newton of Korumburra has been working on the origin of street and road names in the former shires that make up the South Gippsland Shire for many years. He has produced two books so far, one on the former Shire of Korumburra and one on the former Shire of Mirboo. The Woorayl Shire and the old South Gippsland Shire (Foster) streets are works in progress. Surveyor John Lardner named many places while surveying our region in the 1870s and 80s. -

The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne's Outer Circle Railway
The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne’s Outer Circle Railway Trevor McKenna, B.A. Dip. Ed. This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (By Research) Faculty of Education and the Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria, 3353 Australia Submitted for re-examination 7 December, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines a little known railway line in Melbourne, the Outer Circle Railway (OCR) running from Oakleigh in the south-east to Fairfield in the north. There is great significance to its east-north trajectory, because I will argue, it was conceptualised as a major part of the Melbourne system, for the future; a future that ostensibly lasted only two years, before the economic depression of the 1890s caused it to close in stages. It further brought in many more strands to the Melbourne transport nexus, as it circumnavigated the inner suburbs. I ask the key question ‘was the Outer Circle Railway a lost opportunity’? Though considered one of the great public transport cities of the world, Melbourne with its extensive rail and tramway networks succumbed to the winds of change, embodied by the Fordist principles of private car ownership, freeway building and traffic systems. The public transport budget was cut in the second half of the twentieth century – leaving Greater Melbourne in constant gridlock, in the twenty-first century. I use documentary analysis to examine primary and secondary documents, to comprehend whether the almost immediate denigration of the OCR, by newspapers and most historians, was warranted. -

Department of Water Resources
LIBRARY WATER RESOURCES VICTORIA Department of Water Resources 1991 /92 ANNUAL REPORT i SECRETARY'S FOREWORD The Water Resources Portfolio was created on 21 January 1992. While the Department of Water Resources had been in existence for only five months to the end of the 1991 /92 financial year, the objective of creating a viable, efficient and environmentally sensitive water sector has been a recurring theme of water policy since 1984. Broadly, the Department's role has. been to lead the industry to improve water management, using tools such as bulk water entitlements, sector reform and performance assessment and monitoring. Water policy in Victoria over the past ten years has created an environment and the tools necessary for to improved viability and resource management in the water sector. Achievements include the development of accountability mechanisms such as annual reporting regulations, a business planning system, and guidelines for evaluation of capital projects. The level of professionalism and management expertise has improved; there has been pricing reform and micro-economic reform through restructure. Environmental monitoring such as salinity programs, monitoring blue-green algae will provide long-term benefits along with improved resource management through environmental inventories and other publications, such as Water Victoria: The Next 100 Years and Drinking Water Quality: Victoria 1984 - 1989. The Water Act 1989 represents a major shift in the way water is viewed. It establishes the framework to treat water as a tradeable commodity with clear definitions of rights and entitlements. More autonomy and accountability is now allowed to authorities, with better protection for waterways. The Department worked with both Melbourne Water and the Rural Water Commission to set the framework for their corporatisation.
