SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. State Offices Annexe, 107 Russell-street, Melbourne, C.l. 20th November, 1952, The Honourable, the Minister of Public Works, Treasury Place, Melbourne, C.2. SIR, 1. In accordance with the requirements of Section 4 (3) of the Town and Country Plann,i,ng Act 1944 (No. 5043), the Board has pleasure in submitting to you, for presentation to Parliament, the report on its decisions, recommendations, and other transactions during the twelve months ended 30th June, 1952. 2. The Board held 52 meetings as well as being represented at many conferences in both metropolitan and country centres. THB ACT. 3. Over a period of two years the Board has requested certain machinery and other amendments to the Act which have been the subject of discussions with you from time to time. In some instances further information to support the proposals has been supplied at your request. 4. To assist your further consideration of these proposed amendments and to avoid the necessity of referring to previous correspondence extending over a period, a consolidated statement of submissions made, together with notes as to subsequent action taken, was forwarded to you on the 24th June, 1952. 5. The proposed amendments referred to are as follows :- (1) Definition of the commencernent of the preparation of a plann,ing scheme. Many important sections of the Act, including Section 12, 'vhich relates to the issue of interim development orders, are hinged on this important legal date but there is no precise definition in the Act as to what actually constitutes the commencement of a planning scheme. When the Board prepared its Uegulations No. 1, later superseded by Regulations No. 4, it included clause 7 which specifically defined the "commencement of a planning scheme." This has been generally adopted and clearly expresses what is required. The specific definition of this significant date is, however, considered of such importance that it should be covered by the Act itself. (2) Exemption from liability to pay compensaiion under certain provisions of a plann'ing scheme to be extended to nn inten:rn development order. The further proviso to Section 22 of the Act reads as follows provided further that no compensation shall be payable under this Section in respect of- (a) any provision in a planning scheme which could have been made and enforced without liability to pay compensation by any municipality or public authority independently of this Act ; (b) any provision in a planning scheme which requires, in the case of the erection of any building intended to be used for the purpose of a business or industry, the provision of accommodation for loading or unloading or fuelling vehicles with a view to preventing the obstruction of traffic in public streets ; or · 6 (c) any proviSIOn in a planning scheme which prescribes areas in which land is to be used for specified purposes and prohibits, restricts, or regulates the use of land in those areas for any other purposes." These provisions relate to an approved planning scheme. It would appear that liability for compensation may be proved if, prior to the approval of the planning scheme, the responsible authority disallowed such development under an interim development order, although prohibition by the scheme, when approved, is without liability for compensation. It is suggested that a similar indemnity be provided in the case of a refusal to grant permission for the same type of development as is exempted from liability for compensation under an approved planning scheme. The Board also submits that the Act should exclude a responsible authority, operating under an interim development order, from liability for compensation for any temporary refusal to permit the changing use of land during the bona fide period when a planning scheme is being prepared, notwithstanding that the final approved planning scheme may not adhere to the temporary objection. (3) Continuation of joint cmmnittee after approval of a joint planning scheme. The Act provides that the responsible authority "as regards the enforcement and carrying out of any scheme means the council of the municipality whose municipal district or any portion thereof is included in the area of the scheme ". 1'his means that when a scheme, prepared by a joint committee, is approved, it is left to the constituent councils to enforce and carry out the provisions of the scheme. v\nilst in the main this is sound, it is felt that some aspects of a joint planning scheme will be more satisfactorily observed if the joint committee propounding the scheme is retained to oversee its implementation. The retention of a joint committee would encourage the provision in the scheme itself of vested authority to determine priority of works and the allocation of funds jointly contributed. It is highly probable that the mere obligation of consultation would be the best means of ensuring mutual co-operation in giving effect to such provisions in a joint planning scheme. (4) Clarification of land acquisition powers. The Act provides that " for the purposes of any planning scheme the responsible authority may either by agreement or compulsorily purchase any land or any easement right or privilege in over or affecting any land ". Whilst such a power seems obviously intended to apply only for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of a scheme which has been approved after being subjected to public criticism and objection, the position may not be clearly stated. The Board, therefore, feels that the attention of the Parliamentary Draftsman should be drawn to the desirability of inserting the word "approved" before the words " planning scheme " in Section 21. (5) Publication of interim development orders. 1'he Act requires that a copy of every approved interim development order must be published in the Government Gazette and in a local and daily newspaper (see Section 12). Often the technical description of the area covered is very lengthy and the cost of publishing same appreciable. It is necessary for any interested party to visit the office of the responsible authorities in order to ascertain from a plan what area is in fact embraced in the technical description and the other associated provisions. The Board believes that it is only necessary to publish a summary of the order and that responsible authorities be required to have available for inspection a plan showing the area affected by the order. It is, therefore, suggested that the position can be adequately and economically met by following the procedure laid down for by-laws under the Local Government Act as per Section 207 (a) (ii). (6) Clarification of the effectiveness of an interim development order when a ]Jlanni,ng scheme for only part of the planning area is approved. The Board suggests that the Act be clarified to ensure that interim control lapses only in respect of such area or areas in respect of which a planning scheme has been approved. 7 An amendment to Section 12, along the following lines, would meet the case, viz., ''provided that when a planning scheme is approved for part only of the area covered by the interim development order, then the order shall be revoked only in respect of such part." (7) Reference of all plan,<; of subdivision to the Board.

    ‘St Hilary’, formerly ‘Charleville’ 2 Hilary Grove, Glen Iris Place type: Residential Buildings (private), House Significance level: Local Recommended protection: Planning Scheme Architectural style: Victorian period (1851-1901) Georgian & Italianate Locality history Glen Iris is a suburb that lies at the northern end of the former City of Malvern. It occupies gently undulating country along the Gardiners Creek valley, and is bounded by Tooronga Road, Wattletree Road and the Monash Freeway. The hamlet of Gardiner now lies within Glen Iris, although this was formerly recognised as a locality of its own. Glen Iris has long straddled two municipalities, with a portion in the former City of Malvern and a portion in the former City of Camberwell (now the City of Boroondara). It was originally bisected by the Gardiners Creek but in the 1960s the South Eastern freeway created a wider barrier between the two sections. York Street, Glen Iris, for example, is now in two disconnected sections. The first settlement in this area took advantage of the Gardiners Creek, which provided a water source for stock, and for orchards and market gardens. The line of the creek, and the roads that followed it, including Malvern Road, became an eastwards arterial of early settlement. The first land sales in the mid-1850s attracted those seeking an elevated suburban retreat away from the noise and odours of the city, and the early estates operated as small farms. Among the notable early estates were ‘Charleville’ (1857), ‘Viewbank’ (c.1858-59) and ‘Brymawr’ (1859). The area was highly desirable on account of the picturesque countryside and commanding views.

  • Shepparton, Victoria
    Full version of case study (3 of 3) featured in the Institute for the Study of Social Change’s Insight Report Nine: Regional population trends in Tasmania: Issues and options. Case study 3: Shepparton, Victoria Prepared by Institute for the Study of Social Change Researcher Nyree Pisanu Shepparton is a region in Victoria, Australia with a total population of 129,971 in 2016 (ABS, 2019). The Shepparton region includes three local government areas, including Greater Shepparton, Campaspe and Moira. In 2016, the regional city of Shepparton-Mooroopna had a population of 46,194. The Greater City of Shepparton had a population of 65,078 in 2018, with an average growth rate of 1.14% since 2011. The median age in Shepparton is 42.2 and the unemployment rate is 5.7%. In 2016, There were more births than deaths (natural increase= 557) and in-migration exceeded out- migration (net migration = 467). Therefore, natural increase is driving Shepparton’s population growth (54%). Economic profile The Shepparton region is located around 180kms north of Melbourne (Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, 2016). The region is known as the Shepparton Irrigation Region as it is located on the banks of the Goulburn river, making it an ideal environment for food production (Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, 2016). Shepparton’s top three agricultural commodities are sheep, dairy and chickens (ABS, 2019). The region is at the heart of the ‘food bowl of Australia’, also producing fruit and vegetables. The region also processes fruit, vegetables and dairy through large processing facilities for both consumption and export (Regional Development Victoria, 2015).

  • In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976
    In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976 Dr Benno Engels School of Global, Urban and Social Studies RMIT University Victoria, Australia [email protected] Melbourne has evolved and changed over time in response to the many challenges that this city has faced over the last century and a half. Some of this change was due to forces that lay beyond the control of those who governed it whereas other changes had been guided by local government acts and a handful of metropolitan level strategic plans. Largely absent from the historical narratives that have been written about the planning of Melbourne is what had happened to urban planning at the local level. This is a serious gap in our understanding of Melbourne’s historical urban development when it is remembered that local councils and shires had been charged with enforcing metropolitan strategy since 1955. It was at the local government level that the detailed strategic and statutory planning was undertaken but it was also here at the local level that a city’s capacity to respond to any newly emerging challenges were either expedited or stymied. In an attempt to shed some light on this much neglected facet of Melbourne’s urban planning history this paper proposes to investigate how much urban planning took place at the local level and what forms it took between 1944 to 1976, plus what factors may have impacted upon the local plan making process. Keywords — Local planning schemes; Town and Country Planning Board, Melbourne. INTRODUCTION Daniel Burnham, the famous American architect and urban planner of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has been quoted as saying, ‘…make no little plans.
