The group of eight houses, including two pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached house at 110- 118 Barkly Street and a terrace of three houses at 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda, constructed from 1910 to 1912 by builder James Downie, is significant. The high timber picket fences on each property are not significant. Non-original alterations and additions to the houses and the modern timber carport at 2a Blanche Street are not significant. How is it significant? The houses 110-118 Barkly Street and 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda are of local historic, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Port Phillip. Why is it significant? The group is of historical significance for their association with the residential development of St Kilda after the economic depression of the 1890s. Built between 1910 and 1912, at a time of increased population growth and economic recovery, they are representative of Edwardian-era speculative housing development on the remaining vacant sites in St Kilda.

  • 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.

  • City of Port Phillip Heritage Review
    City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Place name: Prefabricated Cottage Citation No: Other names: Singapore House 2221 Address: 17 Coventry Place, Heritage Precinct: Emerald Hill South Melbourne Residential Category: Residential: House Heritage Overlay: HO367 Style: Victorian Graded as: Significant Constructed: 1854 Victorian Heritage Register: Yes, H1958 Designer: Unknown Amendment: C29, C160 Comment: Revised citation Significance The Prefabricated Cottage at 17 Coventry Place, South Melbourne is included on the Victorian Heritage Register (H1958) as a place of State significance. Please refer to the VHR citation for the statement of significance. The local statement of significance is as follows: The house is historically significant (Criterion A) as representing a phase of importation of Singapore houses to Victoria in the 1840s and 1850s. This in turn illustrates the extraordinary historical, economic and cultural circumstances of the time. It relates to the more general phenomenon of international prefabrication in the nineteenth century, and it parallels the trade in Chinese and other buildings to California. The house in Coventry Place is the only identified Singapore building of this period in Victoria, or in the world, to be identified still standing on its original site. It is also important in the context of South Melbourne, where the first sale of land by the Crown was explicitly designed to facilitate the construction of buildings outside the scope of the Melbourne Building Act. As a result South Melbourne always had more prefabricated houses than any other part of Melbourne. In the vicinity of Coventry Street there were prefabricated buildings of timber and zinc, and more than twenty of iron, two of which survive.

    T HE HI S TOR Y OF ST. KILDA FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT TO A CITY AND AFTER 1840 T O 1930 VOLUME I. Compiled by Order of the St. Kilda City Council by JOHN BUTLER COOPER " Aut scribenda agere, aut legenda scribere." " To do what is inset to be recorded, or to write what is worthy to be read." [Inscription taken from the monument of John Stow, London's 16th Century Historian and Topographer] Registered under the Commonwealth Copyright Act, 1912 Melbourne: PRINTERS PROPRIETARY LIMITED 27 LITTLE BOURKE STREET 1931 PREFACE I thank the Councillors of the City of St. Kilda for conferring upon me the distinguished honor of the appointment of Official Historian of the City of St. Kilda. I hope that my work will be considered by them of such merit as to justify their choice of myself for such an important commission. I am indebted to the Town Clerk, Mr. F. W. Chamberlin, for submitting to me old records of St. Kilda that he has, from time to time, patiently collected, and thoughtfully husbanded for historical purposes. In other ways Mr. Chamberlin has given to me generous assistance; and also inspiriting encouragement, in my attempt to complete the difficult task of writing the history, in such a way, as to be worthy of the city. I have endeavored to make, in the text, adequate acknowledgment of any source of important local information that I have happily tapped. Throughout the work I have indicated when it is a surmise I am projecting, so that the reader may not accept a surmise as face value for a fact, and so be misled.

  • Planning Contested Ground: Place Voice and Governance in Local Government
    Planning contested ground: place voice and governance in local government PLANNING CONTESTED GROUND: PLACE, VOICE & GOVERNANCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT PLANNING. A CASE STUDY ON THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY HOUSING Amanda Press BA Dip Social Studies Masters of Arts in Policy Studies Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts - Shorter Thesis and Advanced Seminars Political Science -Faculty of Arts May 2008 1 Planning contested ground: place voice and governance in local government 2 Planning contested ground: place voice and governance in local government ABSTRACT This research is about planning and governance relating to people in place and the challenges for local government in reconciling differing community interests in contests over land use. Victorian state government policy imperatives require local government to encourage community participation and cohesion and to promote urban consolidation by supporting medium density and affordable housing. Paradoxically, resident backlash to the urban consolidation agenda is increasing community division. The research explores these themes through a case study of the governance processes in a collaborative effort to develop Woodstock community housing in Balaclava, a gentrifying neighbourhood in inner-urban Melbourne, Australia. The development is typical of projects which ignite community opposition and challenge local government’s role in dealing with contested land uses. The analysis of the governance process was undertaken using qualitative research methods which included in depth interviews with project proponents and objectors and the analysis of secondary data including council and local media reports and policy documents. The collaborative planning theory of Patsy Healey provided an assessment framework for the Woodstock governance process focussing on the stakeholders, planning discourses and planning practices.

    Melbourne Metro Rail Project Environment Effects Statement Joint Inquiry and Advisory Committee Council Presentation by Claire Ferres Miles, General Manager Place Strategy & Development 7 September 2016 Madam Chair, Inquiry Members, thank you for the opportunity to present to the Inquiry. The City of Port Phillip is very pleased the Victorian Government is committed to the delivery of the Melbourne Metro Rail Project, which, although it will have significant impacts during construction, will greatly influence and contribute to the future liveability of our city. I have structured my presentation into 3 parts: A brief overview of our City, growth and transport choices An update on matters that have been agreed since our submission Key points where Council is of the view that more work needs to be done Part 1: Overview The City of Port Phillip is a Growth Council and the 2nd smallest municipality in Victoria of 20.6 square kilometres – a high density place with a diverse community. With our population forecast to double to around 200,000 residents by 2050, along with significant growth in jobs and visitors, we are already experiencing rapid development activity, giving rise to significant amenity concerns, parking pressures and increased demand and visitation to our public spaces and places. As well as experiencing rapid growth across the entire municipality, redevelopment of the Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal Area is a key focus for growth, both now and over the next 30 years. Council seeks to provide a wide range of safe travel choices for our community to ensure the City of Port Phillip will continue to be an engaged, vibrant, resilient and healthy city to live, work and visit.
