INTRODUCTION In 1968 Council was confronted with the need for a more positive approach to the I forWard planning of the municipality. The City was growing rapidly as an outer metropolitan suburb o'f Melbourne, and was among the four fastest developing I Local Government areas'· in the State. The area offers wonderful opportunities, both presently and potentially, for living areas enjoying the nearness of a rural atmosphere combined with suitable employment I within easy travelling distance. Council was faced with the challenge of providing for tremendous development impetus, at the same time maintaining and improving the existing quality of the environment. On the first point Council recognised that I to cater for and control expansion of the urban areas solely by means of a statutory planning scheme and a subsequent series of schemes amending it, was inadequate. Growth would proceed in a piecemeal fashion and would lack coherency unless an I overall theme or guideline for development was available. In short, Council posed the question "Where is Knox Heading ? " I This Forward Plan aims to provide the answer to that question. To assist in the establishment of the principles, policies and procedures which could best guide and govern the development of Knox in the forseeable future, in May, 1968 Council I engaged Consultants to investigate, study and assist it in the preparation of a Forward Development Plan which would be complementary to regional planning but in greater I detail to satisfy local requirements. In determining the basis on which to prepare the Forward Plan, the principle was 'adopted that all effective research, planning and development is a continuous and I flexible process. It proceeds through repeated cycles of investigation, decision and action with new or revised information leading to further investigation, decision I and action. The concept is particularly applicable to the town planning process. The nature of Forward Development Plan is a continuously - evolving "outline" plan, I primarily involving broad policies. It consists of a basic policy statement from which other policies, plans and programmes will be derived, and indicates the desired I pattern of land uses, transportation routes, open space and community facilities. Whilst the Forward Plan will generally provide the appropriate decision for major planning issues, its basic policy statement covering the urban-rural"'.""open space I relationships and supporting documentation infers the need for more precise sub­ policies for particular elements of development, and for further investigations to be implemented. Recommendations on such matters are therefore included at the end . I of this document. This leads to the other aspect of the challenge to be encountered - namely how to reconcile the preservation and enhancement of the existing character of the City with spiralling growth rate. The Forward Development Plan deals not only with two-dimensional elements of development, but also aims at meeting this challenge. I Environmental planning is of paramount significance to Council, which is reflected in the Forward Plan. The document contains suggestions and recommendations concerning treatment of residential areas - variations in layout of streets and their construction I and landscaping, new forms of housing, pedestrian walkways, retention of natural vegetation and undergrounding of wires; beautification of industrial areas·; an overall landscape policy. Also planting and development of open space reserves, including· retarding basins and fire protection-areas; detailed planning of commercial centres, . I incorporating separation of pedestrians and vehicles, rest areas and transport facilfd.es. I I I 2. The result has been arrived at over many months of joint endeavour by Councillors, I Officers and Consultants. I Constructive comment and advice on the Forward Development Plan is invited by Council from governmental authorities, progress associations, chambers of commerce, community groups and interested individuals. Council also seeks the co-operation of the citizens and developers of the City of Knox, without whose support no effective I planning can be realised. I If the Forward Plan is translated into reality as Council desires it to be, we will see emerging a City which has benefitted from mistakes of the past. A city with variety in its residential patterns, with diversified lot shapes and road layouts, with heavy planting of trees and shrubs within road reserves and on public lands adjacent to the residences, probably with the bulk of power lines undergrounded, and providing overall I an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious environment for our citizens. I I I I I I I I,. I· I I I I I 3. I EXISTING CONDITIONS (i) Topography I The City of Knox is located at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges. Along the eastern boundary the City includes high land reaching well up onto the slopes of the Dandenongs. The western and northern boundaries are formed by the Dandenong Creek. The southern boundary includes the Lysterfield Hills. Two creeks - the Corhanwarrabul I and the Blind - traverse the City in a generally east-west direction. Of these the Corhanwarrabul Creek is the more important, including areas in its catchment well I outside the boundary of the City to the east and south. The topography of the City has been plotted on Figure 1. Land below the 200• contour I in the south-west of the City is extremely flat as the contours show, and is liable to flooding. Land in the north-east, east and south-east extends above 600• and is very steep. The very steepness and the prominence of this rising area when approaching ·the Dandenongs from the general metropolitan area to the west, demand special care when I considering the use to which these areas may be put. I The interesting and varied topography of the City contributes much of the charm of the municipality. It has an important effect on present land use. The accidental landscapes which have resulted from rural pursuits - orchards, dairying, grazing - are intimately I connected. with topographical considerations. The City includes some wooded undulating areas which are considered to be some of the I most attractive future residential areas in the metropolis. In preparing a Forward Development Plan for urban growth in the City, limitations arising from topographical considerations must be turned to advantage to contrast the I urban and rural areas so that each remains complement;iry to the other, intensifying those factors of which Knox is justifiably proud. I (ii) Drainage I · (a) Drainage Catchments. Drainage catchment areas which. form the basis for stormwater and sewerage projects within the City of Knox have been defined by Scott and Furphy, Con­ sulting Engineers, as shown on Figure 2. I The five major catchments have been centred about the main drainage systems:­ Northern reaches of the Dandenong Creek.

  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.
