Over the years, the age groups have changed regularly to suit clubs as opposed to local conditions which has created instability. In 2012, an Independent Board was introduced which has been for the betterment of all stakeholders. The AWJFL introduced a Divisional structure in 2013 with the plan to implement an U12, 2 U14’s and 2 at U16 grades. Due to numbers, only 1 U16 division was possible in 2013 however, it is anticipated that this will expand in time. Since 2012, the AWJFL have had the OMFNL act as the league administration and from a Regional perspective, both leagues sit outside the RAC however, plans are to integrate them in time. With a greater focus on transition from Auskick into junior grades, the relationship with the Region and the AWJFL will be benefitted under the RAC model. Priorities - Consolidate the Divisional structure in the AWJFL - Encourage clubs to field more teams in a divisional structure - Maintain the independence of Board members, ensure willing Board members - Integrate the league administration into the RAC PARTICIPATION DATA The following graph represents the overall player registration numbers at the Albury Wodonga Junior Football League. 8 | P a g e AFL NORTH EAST BORDER – STATE OF THE REGION 2013 WANGARTTA DISTRICT JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE The Wangaratta District Junior Football League is predominately a Wangaratta based U14 and U16 competition with 6 Wangaratta clubs, Bright and Myrtleford.

  • 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.

  • Inquiry Into Tackling Climate Change in Victorian Communities
    Committee Manager Legislative Assembly Environment and Planning Committee [email protected] 24 September 2019 Inquiry into Tackling Climate Change in Victorian Communities The Goulburn Broken Greenhouse Alliance (GBGA) is pleased to take this opportunity to submit a response to this inquiry. Please contact the Execuitve Officer of the Alliance, Bronwyn Chapman for any further information at . This submission can be made public and the GBGA requests the opportunity to provide information at a public hearing. GBGA is a formal alliance of the thirteen councils and two Catchment Management Authorities across the Goulburn Broken and North East regions of Victoria, committed to delivering actions to achieve climate change mitigation and adaptation and sharing initiatives that support sustainable, low carbon communities. The GBGA area comprises 30% of the area and 28% of the number of regional-rural municipalities in the state. The member councils are Alpine, Benalla, Campaspe, Indigo, Mansfield, Mitchell, Moira, Murrindindi, Shepparton, Strathbogie, Towong, Wangaratta, and Wodonga, partnering with the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and the North East Catchment Management Authority. The member councils range from small rural to largely urban and fringe metropolitan councils with population ranges from 8,300 to 63,300. This brings a variety of council and community issues, but climate change impacts are a shared issue for all. Collaboration in the alliance assists all members to keep abreast of developments in mitigation and adaptation, and share their range of experience to initiate larger projects. The shared knowledge and projects of the alliance also gives additional assistance to smaller councils. Smaller council must address the same range of issues as all councils with very limited resources.

  • MHCSS Hume Region Fact Sheet 1
    Mental Health Community Support Services Fact Sheet 1: New service delivery responsibilities May 2014 Hume Region As a result of extensive consultation and review with clients, families, carers and service providers, the Victorian Government is introducing changes to the delivery of Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) across the state. This fact sheet provides information on the service providers selected through an open competitive process to deliver a total of $ 4.62 million in MHCSS in the Department of Health Hume Region. Mental Health Community Support Services (previously called Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services) provide broad-ranging psychosocial support to people aged 16-64 years with a psychiatric disability. They are an essential part of the state-funded specialist mental health and broader health and human services systems. As part of these reforms, $74 million in MHCSS has been redesigned and recommissioned, largely in the form of new Individualised Client Support Packages and Youth Residential Rehabilitation Services . Importantly, funding will be maintained across the region as a result of this process. The reason for the reform is that we were told by clients that the service system is complicated and difficult to navigate and service quality is variable. Service providers also told us that the program and funding models are rigid and prevented them responding flexibly to the changing needs of clients. The status quo simply was not giving people with mental illness in our communities the best support. The majority of the MHCSS funding ($60 million per annum) will be spent on the delivery of Individualised Client Support Packages, which will be tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences .
