The primary role of the Commission is to determine the allocation between municipalities in Victoria of grants from the Commonwealth to the State for local government authorities under the provisions of the Commonwealth's Local Government (Personal Income Tax Sharing/ Act 1976. The Victoria Granu Commission Act 1976 was proclaimed on 9 February 1977 and the Commission. consisting of a fulltime Chairman and two part-time Members. was formally constituted on 24 May 1977. By notification in the Commonwealth Gazette of 30 June 1978, the Victoria Grants Commission was formally declared the body to be the Local Government Grants Commission of the State of Victoria. in accordance with section 4 of the Local Government (Personal Income Tax Sharing 1 A et 1976. Section 12 of the Victoria Grants Commission Act 1976 requires the Commission, on or before 31 August each year. to determine the amount to be allocated to each municipality in that year. The Commission's determination for the 1979-80 financial year was delivered to the Minister for Local Government on 31 August 1979. A copy of the transmittal memorandum and of the determination are included in Appendix I to this Report. Section 17 of the Act requires the Commission to report to the Minister by 30 November each year on the activities of the Commission during the preceding year ended 31 August. This Report is in compliance with that requirement. 9 CHAPTER I THE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES 1.1. The primary role of the Victoria Grants Commission is to determine. on or before 31 August each year, the allocation among municipalities in Victoria of general revenue grants from the Commonwealth to the State for local government authorities under the provisions of the Commonweath's Local Government (Personal Income Tax Sharing} Act 1976 and under the Victoria GrantJ Commission Act 1976 which complements it. 1.2. The Victoria Grants Commission Act provides that: " l 0. (I) Each municipality shall supply the prescribed information to the Commission - (a) on or before the day fixed by the Commission by notice published in the Government Gazette; or (b) in the case of a particular municipality, on or before such later date as is fixed by the Commission for that municipality. (2) Where a municipality has not complied with sub-section (I) the Commission shall nevertheless allocate to the municipality its 'As-of-Right Entitlement'." The Act also provides that: " 13. The Commission or any member thereof may carry out such inspection, conduct such hearings, take such evidence and generally make such investigations as the Commission thinks necessary for the purpose of properly carrying out its functions under this Act." In relation to proceedings before the Commission the Act stipulates that: " IS. A municipality may be represented in proceedings before the Commission by Councillors or the municipal clerk or the municipal engineer or full-time officers of the municipality and not otherwise." Provision is also made enabling the Minister for local Government to "on his own motion or at the request of the Commission make written submissions to the Commission as to any factors which appear to the Minister to be of special significance in relation to all or any municipalities in the rele\':ant financial year" (section 14). The Minister is required to publish notice of a submission in the Government Gazette. to lay copies of the submission before both Houses of Parliament and make copies of it available to the public. 1.3. In addition, pursuant to section 16 of the Victoria Grants Commission Act 1976, the Commission is required to "enquire into and report upon any other matter relating to local government finances which is referred to it by the Minister." No such matter was referred to the Commission during the year ended 31 August 1979. 1.4 The Commission was formally convened on one hundred and eighteen days during the year ended 31 August 1979 in order to undertake inspections and confer with Council representatives and to consider written submissions and other evidence relevant to the determination of allocations for the 1979-80 financial year. 1.5. During the year visits were made to 63 municipalities throughout the State; for the most part a full day was spent in each. This enabled the Commission to undertake a detailed inspection of each municipality and to set aside time for discussion with Councillors and their officers about the Commission's role and the municipality's submissions (see Appendix 11 for list of municipalities visited). The Commission expects to visit each municipality in the State once in about every three years on this basis. 11 1.6 Much of the Commission's time and resourees has been given over to the examination of methods used for comparing revenue-raising capacity and costs or services, with a view to increasing the use of objective measures and reducing the heavy reliance on judgment that has been an unavoidable aspect of earlier determination&. The greater use of objective measures and improvements to methodology is expected to enhance the equity and predictability of the allocations. 1.7. Central to the development of methodology is the availability of good quality data. The Victoria Grants Commission Act 1976 provides authority for the Commission to require each municipality to provide prescribed information by a date fixed by the Commission. In conformity with section 10 or the Act. 6 December 1978 was the date fixed by notice in the Gowrnmtnt Gazette No. 98 of 25 October 1978 as the date by which the prescribed information for the financial year ended 30 September 1978 should be returned to the Commission. 1.8. As indicated in last year's Report, the Commission has been working closely with the Victorian office of the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the development of a joint return of statistical information to serve the needs of the Commission and the Bureau. The format for the 1978 Return, which related to the year ended 30 September 1978, was designed to cover all of the detail required by the Bureau for its purposes and to meet specific requirements of the Commission. This enabled the Bureau to dispense with its separate collection of financial data from municipalities and has provided the Commission with very much higher quality data than has previously been available. Apart from some minor amendments which are designed to improve the quality of the reporting, the Return for the year ended 30 September 1979 is in the same format as that for 1978. 1.9. The Commission has again emphasised the importance of the timely receipt of accurate statistical information

  • (MSS) Outlines the Land Use Planning Directions for the Gannawarra Shire
    GANNAWARRA PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT 14/09/2006 C9 The Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) outlines the land use planning directions for the Gannawarra Shire. The MSS is presented in the planning scheme as part of the Gannawarra Local Planning Policy Framework. The inclusion of the MSS in the planning scheme means that it can be implemented by decisions made in the administration of the planning scheme. The MSS provides strategic justification for zones, overlays, local policies and controls contained in the planning scheme. The MSS is derived from the Gannawarra Strategic and Planning Scheme Review project that commenced in September 1995. This Review was supported by several important strategy documents that dealt with a range of concerns including salinity, catchment management, water quality, flooding, rural land use, economic development and tourism. The Review included the development of an Integrated Strategy Plan (ISP) that established a framework for making decisions about the future use and development of land. This ISP formed the basis of the MSS in the new format planning scheme. The MSS is an important component of the Gannawarra Shire Council Plan. It assists in the achievement of the Corporate Plans goals, strategies and action plans, especially in relation to Environmental, Planning and Regulatory Services. The MSS is a forward looking document with a 10 to 15 year timeframe. The MSS will be reviewed every 3 years. 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 14/09/2006 C9 Gannawarra Shire was created in January 1995 and comprises the former Borough of Kerang and former Shire of Kerang, excluding the Tresco area, and former Shire of Cohuna excluding the Gunbower area.

A brief statistical summary of some of the operations of co-operative housing societies, to the close of the year under review, is presented in a supplement to this report. The summary is necessarily brief as staff and time constraints have considerably reduced the volume of statistical information collected and details gleaned from various Australian Bureau of Statistics Bulletins are unavailable at the time of preparation of the report. REGISfRAR'S STATEMENT The year to June, 1985, was again one of great change for financial institutions and co-operative housing societies took part in these developments. The deregulation of the banking sector continued with the Federal Treasurer announcing that 16 major foreign financial institutions had been invited to make application for licences to operate banks in Australia. It was quite clear that, although not all had commenced operations, the spectre they raised was having a marked effect on the existing banks as they positioned themselves to prepare for the new entrants. This was best seen in extensive advertising campaigns, the aggressive search for funds and other measures to raise their corporate profile and operations.

  • Community Profile Newstead 3462
    Mount Alexander Shire Council Local Community Planning Project Community Profile Newstead 3462 Image by Leigh Kinrade 1 INTRODUCTION Mount Alexander Shire Council has been funded over three years until May 2014, through the State Government’s Department of Planning and Community Development, to undertake the Mount Alexander Shire Local Community Planning Project (LCPP). The project aims to support local community engagement across the Shire to enable communities to articulate their needs and aspirations through the development of local community-based Action Plans. In September 2011, Council announced that Newstead would be one of three townships to participate in the first round of planning. This document has been formulated to provide some background information about Newstead and a starting point for discussion. ABOUT MOUNT ALEXANDER SHIRE The original inhabitants of the Mount Alexander area were the Jaara Jaara Aboriginal people. European settlement dates from the late 1830s, with land used mainly for pastoral purposes, particularly sheep grazing. Population was minimal until the 1850s, spurred by gold mining from 1851, the construction of the railway line, and the establishment of several townships. Rapid growth took place into the late 1800s before declining as gold supplies waned and mines were closed. Relatively stable between the 1950’s and the 1980’s, the population increased from about 12,700 in 1981 to 16,600 in 2006. The 1 preliminary Estimated Resident Population for 2010 is 18,421 . Mount Alexander Shire (MAS, the Shire) forms part of the Loddon Mallee Region (the Region), which encompasses ten municipalities and covers nearly 59,000km 2 in size, or approximately 26 percent of the land area of the State of Victoria.

    EAST GIPPSLAND PLANNING SCHEME 21.12 STRATEGIES FOR SUB-REGIONS, TOWNS & LOCALITIES 24/03/2016 C121 21.12-1 Sub-regions 04/04/2013 C113 East Gippsland, for planning purposes, can be divided into four relatively homogeneous economic and geographic areas, as shown in the following diagram. Highland Valleys & Forests Agricultural Hinterland Lakes & Coastal The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for each sub-region are summarised below, together with broad strategies to address these. Each section summarises the current roles and functions of urban areas and rural localities in the sub-region, identifies appropriate new or enhanced roles and sets out the policies and strategies that will be applied to these areas. The listing of towns/localities is generally from west to east within each sub-region. 21.12-2 Lakes & Coastal 24/03/2016 C121 From a social and economic perspective, the Lakes & Coastal sub-region (described in Clause 21.02-3 above) has the highest population density of the Shire, with the main commercial, retail and tourist centres located along this coastal fringe. Bairnsdale is the largest town in the sub-region providing major commercial, retail, educational and public sector services. Paynesville, located approximately 16 kilometres south of Bairnsdale, has grown rapidly in recent times, as a ‘dormitory’ and a retirement area. Lakes Entrance is a major tourist destination, which also has a strong commercial fishing industry. The coastal resort town of Mallacoota, in the far east of the Shire, is a very popular holiday location and a retirement area. It is also recognised as being a base for eco-tourism and centre of the abalone industry in eastern Victoria.
