    CORANGAMITE HERITAGE STUDY STAGE 2 VOLUME 3 REVIEWED AND REVISED THEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY Prepared for Corangamite Shire Council Samantha Westbrooke Ray Tonkin 13 Richards Street 179 Spensley St Coburg 3058 Clifton Hill 3068 ph 03 9354 3451 ph 03 9029 3687 mob 0417 537 413 mob 0408 313 721 [email protected] [email protected] INTRODUCTION This report comprises Volume 3 of the Corangamite Heritage Study (Stage 2) 2013 (the Study). The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.

    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSPORT AND MICROECONOMIC REFORM Reference: federal road funding MELBOURNE Monday, 5 May 1997 OFFICIAL HANSARD REPORT CANBERRA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSPORT AND MICROECONOMIC REFORM Members: Mr Vaile (Chair) Mr Albanese Mr Peter Morris Mr Ross Cameron Mr Neville Mrs Crosio Mr Randall Mr Hardgrave Mr Tanner Mr Lindsay Mr Wakelin Mr McArthur Mr Willis Mr McDougall The Commonwealth, under its roads program, provides funds to the States and Territories for the National Highway and Roads of National Importance. The Committee is asked to: 1. Review the Commonwealth role in road funding and identify the most effective means of fulfilling that role; 2. Assess the adequacy and extent of the National Highway as currently declared in meeting the objective of providing a national road system that meets the needs of industry and the community; 3. Assess the level of funding required to adequately fulfil the Commonwealth role. This should take into account the current condition of the asset, depreciation and maintenance requirements, as well as new investment required to meet demand growth, changes in technology (especially increased weight limits for heavy vehicles) and community expectations of road standards; 4. Examine whether current administrative arrangements have an adequate performance focus, promote effective and efficient use of funds and adoption by States and Territories of best practice, and provide an effective Commonwealth/State interface; and 5. Assess the scope to supplement Government funding through innovative arrangements for private sector involvement in the provision and maintenance of roads infrastructure and the scope for pricing of road services to reflect full resource costs.
