The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the City of Melbourne’s submission (Attachment 2) to the combined planning scheme amendment and planning permit application for subdivision prepared by the Minister for Planning for Treasury Square (Attachment 3). 2. Amendment C370 and the accompanying planning permit application affect 295-357 Wellington Parade South, which is a portion of VicTrack-owned land south of Wellington Parade South and Flinders Street, and extending from the eastern edge of Batman Avenue/Citylink to just beyond the eastern edge of Spring Street. 3. The Planning Scheme Amendment is to rezone the land to Capital City Zone Schedule 1 (CCZ1); apply Design and Development Overlay Schedule 10 (DDO10); apply the Environmental Audit Overlay (EAO); and refer future applications to VicTrack and the Department of Transport. Schedule 12 to the Parking Overlay (PO12) and the City Link Project Overlay (CLPO) currently apply and are intended to remain. The Planning Permit application is for a subdivision into two lots, with a number of parts. Key issues 4. This is a significant and strategic site in central Melbourne, adjacent to the Hoddle Grid, with a frontage to Flinders Street and Wellington Parade South, and adjacent to an established inner city neighbourhood. Development on this site will be highly visible along the Yarra River corridor. The site is highly encumbered by transport infrastructure, including railway lines and substations.

  • Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”

    Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”

    Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents.
