The policy Publications statement announced that the Government would examine options Terminology to promote access to residential aged care services, including leasing of existing holdings of publicly owned land by not-for-profit Legislation providers. Links The Government recognises that development and redevelopment A to Z index of residential aged care in inner and middle ring suburbs of Contacts Melbourne is being limited by economic factors including the price of suitable land. The planning and allocation system for aged care places allows services to be established on the periphery of large regions and provides no additional incentives to maintain and increase the number of places in inner areas. The current funding and regulatory framework also does not favour the establishment of high care-at-entry places where the demand is highest. Financially disadvantaged people may have difficulty in accessing services. Proposals are now sought from recognised not-for-profit aged care providers for the development of new high-care residential aged care services on government owned sites. Land may be made available for sale or for lease, at concessional prices. The closing date for proposals is 9 December 2005. Proposals will be considered for development on sites in Coburg, Preston, Heidelberg and North Williamstown. Each site will be of some 4000 square metres and suitable for a facility of 90 places over two levels. Terms of request At this time, the government has not made a decision to proceed to offer sites or any particular number of sites. Proposals will be evaluated both individually and collectively and an evaluation made of the social benefits identified. This strategic initiative will be subject to further budget consideration before a decision is made whether to proceed to pilot a small number of projects. http://www.health.vic.gov.au/agedcare/publications/land_bank.htm 29/12/2005 Land Bank Pilot: Aged Care in Victoria - Victorian Government Health Information, ... Page 2 of 4 If the pilot proceeds, land will be transferred to the provider on terms and conditions as agreed and the Victorian Government will have no involvement in the development or operation of the aged care service. No capital funding is available under this initiative for the development of services or for other purposes. Eligibility This initiative is open to recognised not-for-profit aged care providers only. Further details are incorporated into the assessment criteria which can be found in Attachment 1 . Top of page Sites Proposals are sought for development of four sites as listed in Attachment 2 . If the Victorian Government determines to proceed, it is anticipated that two or three sites will be offered in the pilot stage of this initiative. It is unlikely that all sites listed would be offered in this round. All sites are of a suitable size (around 4000 square metres) to develop a 90 place aged care facility over two levels. All have (or will have) appropriate zoning and there is local Council support for the development of aged care facilities on the sites. Where any remediation of the land is required, that will be undertaken prior to transfer to the provider, at the cost of the Victorian Government. The sites are presently held by a range of government agencies. Prior to any transfer to an aged care provider, the sites would transfer to the Department of Human Services. Details of the sites sufficient for the development of proposals are included in the information pack prepared for each site. If any further questions arise about the sites they should be directed to the Department of Human Services and not to other agencies. Eventual developers of sites will be responsible for obtaining necessary planning and building approvals from the relevant authorities. At this stage, Councils have indicated that they would prefer not to receive individual inquiries about the use of specific sites. Nature of proposals The core objective of this initiative is to increase the supply of high- care (at entry) residential aged care places in inner and middle suburbs. Accordingly, the number of high-care places proposed for a site will be a key selection criterion. However, it is recognised that providers may wish to develop low-care places or other forms of aged care and such proposals will be accepted. Places other than high-care places will not be taken into account in assessing proposals. Proposals that have been developed beyond concept stage should be submitted, with a business case to support the proposed service configuration. Providers will need to demonstrate their capacity to successfully undertake the development and to successfully operate http://www.health.vic.gov.au/agedcare/publications/land_bank.htm 29/12/2005 Land Bank Pilot: Aged Care in Victoria - Victorian Government Health Information, ... Page 3 of 4 the service. Detailed assessment criteria are included in Attachment 1. Financial offer The basis of this initiative is the provision of land at a concessional price to eligible aged care providers to address the failure of the market to deliver new high-care places in inner city areas. Accordingly, it is not expected that providers will offer a full market valuation for the properties. At the same time, the extent to which assistance can be provided by government will be influenced by the cost to government of each individual project. Providers submitting proposals will be expected to make a financial offer for the land (on a sale or leasehold basis) that will assist in assessment of value-for-money in the provision of a particular number of high-care places. The information kit for each site includes an estimate of valuation provided by the Victorian Valuer-General's office. Sworn valuations will be made available as soon as they can be finalised. Other criteria The selection criteria at Attachment 1 detail other matters that will be taken into account in assessing proposals. Each is aimed at ensuring that best value for money is obtained in pursuing the government's objective of improving access to high-care residential aged care services that meet the needs of older Victorians who are disadvantaged in access. Top of page Sale or lease conditions Sale or lease conditions have not been finalised at this time, giving providers the opportunity to propose particular conditions that will either facilitate, or enhance their proposal. The conditions envisaged to be imposed will be aimed to ensure that the land may only be used for the provision of residential aged care services as discussed in this outline, on an enduring basis. The Victorian Government will impose conditions affecting disposal of the land in the future.

The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

  • Rail Safety News Is a Tri-Annual Newsletter for Accredited Rail Operators in Victoria
    RAIL SAFETY Rail Safety News is a tri-annual newsletter for accredited rail operators in Victoria. ISSUE 6 OCTOBER 2011 It serves the purpose of being an important tool for the regulator to communicate rail safety information and initiatives that will help drive change. Chris McKeown Director Rail Safety On 19 August 2011, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) signed Inter-Governmental Agreements to establish national transport safety regulatory scheme frameworks in the rail and commercial maritime sectors. Both frameworks are scheduled to come into effect in 2013. The rail safety regulatory framework includes the introduction of national rail safety law administered by a new national regulator based in Adelaide. This process is being led by the National Rail Safety Regulator Project Office who worked with the states and territories, Commonwealth and industry to develop the scope and detailed arrangements for implementation of these significant national reforms. The agreement represents a major milestone in this process. At this stage, Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) understands that day-to-day regulatory functions will continue to be performed locally under delegation from the national regulator. In addition, TSV will continue to be directly responsible for rail safety regulation in regard to light rail. TSV and the Department of Transport have worked collaboratively throughout the negotiations to seek to ensure the capacity to respond quickly to changes in local risk factors in Victoria, which is integral to the design of the new regulatory system. The inter-governmental agreement also includes arrangements for cooperative resource sharing between the Office of the Chief Investigator in Victoria and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau as the national investigator.
