CASEY.VIC.GOV.AU Joint Standing Committee on Migration - Inquiry into Migrant Settlement Outcomes City of Casey submission (23 March 2017) About the City of Casey The City of Casey is located around 35 kilometres to the south east of Melbourne, on the urban fringe between the City of Greater Dandenong and the Shire of Cardinia to the west and east, and the City of Frankston and Shire of Mornington Peninsula to the south. Casey has the highest population of any Local Government Area in Victoria and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Approximately 311,000 residents from more than 150 different cultural backgrounds and 120 religious faiths currently reside in Casey. The population is growing by an average of 7,600 people per year. By 2041, the number of residents is expected to increase to 514,000. This population growth is driven largely by young families.

Almost 30 per cent of Casey residents were born in non-English speaking countries and 31 per cent speak languages other than English at home, with Sinhalese being most commonly spoken.

In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976
In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976 Dr Benno Engels School of Global, Urban and Social Studies RMIT University Victoria, Australia [email protected] Melbourne has evolved and changed over time in response to the many challenges that this city has faced over the last century and a half. Some of this change was due to forces that lay beyond the control of those who governed it whereas other changes had been guided by local government acts and a handful of metropolitan level strategic plans. Largely absent from the historical narratives that have been written about the planning of Melbourne is what had happened to urban planning at the local level. This is a serious gap in our understanding of Melbourne’s historical urban development when it is remembered that local councils and shires had been charged with enforcing metropolitan strategy since 1955. It was at the local government level that the detailed strategic and statutory planning was undertaken but it was also here at the local level that a city’s capacity to respond to any newly emerging challenges were either expedited or stymied. In an attempt to shed some light on this much neglected facet of Melbourne’s urban planning history this paper proposes to investigate how much urban planning took place at the local level and what forms it took between 1944 to 1976, plus what factors may have impacted upon the local plan making process. Keywords — Local planning schemes; Town and Country Planning Board, Melbourne. INTRODUCTION Daniel Burnham, the famous American architect and urban planner of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has been quoted as saying, ‘…make no little plans. -

Place Names of Casey and Cardinia
Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist.

The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'.
