The Boonwurrung are one of the five language groups that make up the larger confederation of the Kulin Nation. This confederation is connected through shared moieties — Bunjil, that travels as an eagle — protects the land and Waa, and travels as a crow — protects the waterways. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river’. The history of the Boonwurrung people dates back many thousands of years, and the traditional life of the Yaluk-ut Weelam centred around the six seasons of the year. Each season celebrated the richness and diversity of nature. The natural environment of the area, particularly its swamps, provided the Boonwurrung with valuable staple New Electric [Tram] Cars, Elsternwick. 1913.

There were many swamps around Glen Eira including Paddy’s and Leman’s Swamps that were important camping places for the Yaluk-ut Weelam. The landscape of the municipality has altered vastly since European colonisation and these swamps were developed into public parks — Caulfield Park and Koornang Park/Lord Reserve, Carnegie respectively. Glen Eira City Council is working towards a unified, respectful and thriving community that embraces Australia’s First peoples for their experiences of the past, their resilience in the present and their aspirations for the future. After European colonisation, it became two municipal areas called Caulfield and Moorabbin. The name Caulfield has identified the area around Caulfield Racecourse Reserve since 1853, but we’re unsure of its origins. It may be linked with Baron Caulfield of Ireland or colonial pioneer John Caulfield. The Moorabbin Road District was established in 1862. Its boundaries ran south-east from the outskirts of Brighton along both sides of Nepean Road, as far as Mordialloc Creek. In 1870, Caulfield was described as ‘a pastoral and agricultural district of 5,280 acres with a population of 900’. The area was dotted with orchards, market gardens and dairy farms. Glen Eira is named after two local landmarks — Glen Eira Road and Glen Eira Mansion. Glen Eira Road is a major People shopping in Centre Road, Bentleigh. Wolfgang Sievers, 1967.

    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.

    GLEN EIRA PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 28/03/2018 VC145 21.01-1 Glen Eira Today 19/01/2006 VC37 Glen Eira is a ‘middle ring’ municipality, starting six km southeast of the GPO. It occupies 39 square kilometres in the area generally bounded by Dandenong Road and South Road to the north and south, Hotham Street and Nepean Highway to the west and Poath Road and Warrigal Road to the east. Glen Eira was established in December 1994 following the amalgamation of the former City of Caulfield with a part of the former City of Moorabbin and includes the suburbs of Elsternwick, Gardenvale, Balaclava, St Kilda East, Caulfield, Caulfield North, South and East, Carnegie, Ormond, Glen Huntly, McKinnon, Bentleigh and Bentleigh East and Murrumbeena. Adjoining municipalities include the Cities of Port Phillip, Stonnington, Monash, Kingston and Bayside. Glen Eira is predominantly residential and features a series of well established strip shopping centres most of which have developed along public transport routes. It has a flat to generally undulating topography with a strong grid pattern of streets. Glen Eira contains areas that are rich both in terms of urban character and heritage. Glen Eira’s character today reflects the City’s position in the metropolitan area and its associated history of development. Glen Eira residents enjoy access to a wide variety of transport, shopping, health, education, religious and cultural and leisure services. Many of Melbourne’s best private schools are located in Glen Eira, and Glen Eira boasts regional recreational facilities such as Duncan Mackinnon Reserve and Caulfield Park.

    REPORT OF INVESTIGATION INTO GLEN EIRA CITY COUNCIL Merv Whelan Inspector of Municipal Administration July 2005 ____________________________ Ordered to be printed ____________________________ VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT PRINTER 2005 No. 148 of Session 2003-2005 C/- Local Government Victoria Level 14, 1 Spring Street Melbourne 3000 13 July 2005 The Hon Candy Broad MLC Minister for Local Government Nauru House, Level 21, 80 Collins Street Melbourne 3000 Dear Minister I have completed an investigation into governance and other issues at Glen Eira City Council in accordance with the Terms of Reference issued by you on 9 December 2004 and submit my report for your consideration. In 1998, Dr Greg Walsh, an Inspector of Municipal Administration, identified poor governance as a serious concern for the Council and recommended that the deficiency be addressed by implementing a Code of Governance and engaging the services of a mediator. Seven years and two elections later, the Council has made no progress on this issue. Rather, its performance has declined. The elected Council has failed, and continues to fail, to provide good government. This is primarily due to a serious breakdown in working relationships between Councillors and an incapacity and unwillingness by them to positively pursue any remedial action. Their conduct is characterised by hostile, acrimonious behaviour, denigration of colleagues and a lack of mutual respect and goodwill – behaviour which seriously inhibits their decision making capacity. They are widely perceived as ineffectual and irrelevant. According to the Councillors themselves, attempts to implement change have been completely ineffective because entrenched bitterness and resentment between them has negated any will to achieve it.
