  • Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry Into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities
    Rural and Regional Services Development Committee – Inquiry into Retaining Young People in Rural Towns and Communities KANDO - Kinglake Action Network & Development Organisation (KANDO) Inc. Submission 12 April 2006 Kinglake Ranges Overview The Kinglake Ranges (inclusive of the communities of Toolangi, Castella, Glenburn, Kinglake, Middle Kinglake, Pheasant Creek, Kinglake West and Flowerdale) covers an area of approximately 1900 sqkm and is at its nearest point less than 50 km from the Melbourne CBD (less than one hours drive). A significant proportion of our population (estimated at > 6,000 people and growing) commute to the suburbs or city daily to work or to undertake post primary education (our youth attend over 20 different secondary schools). Historically, the community has been significantly disadvantaged, with Kinglake recording the highest unemployment and youth suicide rates in the state in the early 1990’s. Isolation and inadequate or non-existent public transport has always compounded our disadvantage. Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic / family violence and mental health issues have all been matters of concern particularly given the absolute absence of health and welfare services to the area. In recent years the area has seen a large growth in the number of young families. Our fragmented youth population makes it almost impossible to sustain junior sporting teams, despite well over 500 high school aged young people living in the wider region. Tracking young people’s transition to training, employment or further study is extremely difficult with many falling through the gaps. Local employment opportunities continue to be extremely limited. The dispersal of community members has a detrimental impact on community connectedness and social cohesion.

  • 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.

  • Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: an Artefact-Led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia
    Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: An Artefact-led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia Katherine Hepworth Doctor of Philosophy 2012 ii iii Abstract Government emblems are a rich source of historical information. This thesis examines the evidence of past governance discourses embodied in government emblems. Embodied discourses are found within an archive of 282 emblems used by local governments in Victoria, Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They form the basis of a history of governance in the State of Victoria from first British exploration in 1803 to the present day. This history of governance was written to test the main contribution of this thesis: a new graphic design history method called discursive method. This new method facilitates collecting an archive of artefacts, identifying discourses embodied within those artefacts, and forming a historical narrative of broader societal discourses and ideologies surrounding their use. A strength of discursive method, relative to other design history methods, is that it allows the historian to seriously investigate how artefacts relate to the power networks in which they are enmeshed. Discursive method can theoretically be applied to any artefacts, although government emblems were chosen for this study precisely because they are difficult to study, and rarely studied, within existing methodological frameworks. This thesis demonstrates that even the least glamorous of graphic design history artefacts can be the source of compelling historical narratives. iv Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been written without the support of many people. Fellow students, other friends and extended family have helped in many small ways for which I am so grateful.
