The group of eight houses, including two pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached house at 110- 118 Barkly Street and a terrace of three houses at 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda, constructed from 1910 to 1912 by builder James Downie, is significant. The high timber picket fences on each property are not significant. Non-original alterations and additions to the houses and the modern timber carport at 2a Blanche Street are not significant. How is it significant? The houses 110-118 Barkly Street and 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda are of local historic, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Port Phillip. Why is it significant? The group is of historical significance for their association with the residential development of St Kilda after the economic depression of the 1890s. Built between 1910 and 1912, at a time of increased population growth and economic recovery, they are representative of Edwardian-era speculative housing development on the remaining vacant sites in St Kilda.

    Heritage Precinct Name James Street Heritage Precinct Address James Street (part), Williamstown Heritage Overlay No. HO17 Related Precinct(s) Private Survey Heritage Precinct Significance Local Style & Type Heritage precinct Significant Dates c.1855-1900 Designer Not applicable Builder Not applicable Statement of Significance What is Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct, which comprises all land in HO17 and generally includes properties with a frontage to James Street, Williamstown. How is it Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobson’s Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, James Street was one of the first private residential subdivisions in the area to the north of Ferguson Street and includes some of the oldest houses in this area at No. 11 and 22. Many of the houses were associated with the maritime industry in Williamstown. It is therefore important for its ability to illustrate an important phase in the early development of the Private Survey residential area when Williamstown was the main port of Melbourne. (AHC criteria A4 and D2) Aesthetically, it is significant for its distinctive and consistent nineteenth century residential character, which derives from the presence of a number of architecturally significant and contributory houses which encompass a wide range of domestic architectural styles from the mid to late Victorian period. The historic setting of the dwellings is enhanced by remnant early street detailing including the basalt kerb and channels. (AHC criterion E1) On this basis, the following properties and other elements contribute to the significance of the precinct: . James Street (odd) 1-11, 15-19 (inclusive) (even) 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20 and 22.

  • 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.
