  • A Short Story of the Canadian Corridor
    A short story of the Canadian Corridor The Flora and Fauna “Messmate Stringybark-Peppermint type forest dominates the vegetatation. Interesting understorey flora include nine acacia species, attractive stands of Cherry Ballarat and various cassinas, parrot peas, milkwort and daisies. The herb layer includes a variety of orchid species, chocolate lilies, bluebells and violets whilst grass trees are common throughout the Forest” “Surveys have recorded the Grass skink, Blue tongue lizard and Mouse Dunnart. The Koala is occasionally seen and the Swamp Wallaby may venture into the forest from adjacent bushland. Considering the central location, bird life is unexpectedly plentiful due mainly to the nearby Yarrowee River Vegeation. Various honeyeaters, thornbills, White-throated Treecreeper, Scarlet Robin, White-winged Chough and Grey Fantail are often seen.” Ref (1) The Wadawurrung The Wadawurrung have lived in the area for thousands of generations, there are many areas of cultural and archaeological significance to Wadawurrung People within the region, indicating a significant level of activity of the Wadawurrung People. At the time of colonisation, three of the twenty five Wadawurrung clans lived in the vicinity of the Eureka diggings and the Canadian Forest: the Burrumbeet balug at Lakes Burrumbeet and Learmonth, Keyeet balug, a sub-group of the Burrumbeet balug, at Mt Buninyong, and the Tooloora balug, at Mt Warrenheip and Lal Lal Creek. At present, the descendants of the last known Apical Ancestor of Wadawurrung People are represented by the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation (Wadawurrung), who were formally recognised by the State Government as the Traditional Owners of Wadawurrung Country in May 2009, under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006.

  • 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.
