Town and Country Planning Board TWENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT 179 Queen-street, Melbourne, C.l. The Honorable the Minister for Local Government, 61 Spring-street, Melbourne, C.l. Sir, 1. In accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 (Act No. 6849), the Board has pleasure in submitting to you for presentation to Parliament the following report on its activities during the twelve months ended 30th June, 1965. 2. During the period under review the Board held 54 meetings, and in addition was represented at a number of conferences held in the metropolitan area and various country centres. THE BOARD. 3. At a meeting of the Executive Council held on the 16th February, 1965, the Governor in Council re-appointed Mr. F. C. Cook as a Member and Chairman of the Town and Country Planning Board for the period ending on 26th February, 1966. 4. The Board is pleased to record the honour bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen upon Mr. Cook, who was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his services over many years to town and country planning 5. The award has given great satisfaction to the Chairman's colleagues, both members and staff. They know the award has been widely popular and accepted as thoroughly well merited because of his great contributions to town and country planning since 1923. 6. The Sir James Barrett Memorial Medal for notable contribution to town planning in Victoria was this year awarded to Mr. A. N. Kemsley, Member, by the Town and Country Planning Association. 7. Mr. Kemsley's long association with planning in this State goes back to the 1923-1929 Metropolitan Town Planning Commission, with which body he was the Secretary. He has rendered most conspicuous service to the State and it is extremely gratifying to his colleagues on the Board that his services in town and country planning have been recognized in this manner. REGULATIONS. 8. On the 18th May, 1965, the Governor in Council approved the Town and Country Planning Regulations, Amending Regulations No. 2, which were prepared at the direction of the Minister for the purpose of amending the Eighth, N\nth and Tenth Schedules to the principal regulations. 9. The schedules prescribe the forms used for a "statement of objection to the grant of a permit ", a " notice of determination " by a Responsible Authority in regard to an application where written objections to the grant of a permit were received, and a "refusal of permit" form. 10. These schedules originally quoted verbatim the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 which were to be shown on each of the prescribed forms and the effect of the amending regulations has meant that concise explanatory notes replaced the lengthy quotes from the legislation. 6 PLANNING SCHEMES EXAMINED BY THE BOARD. 11.
