  • Pdf Covenanting Congregations in Victoria
    COVENANTING CONGREGATIONS IN VICTORIA In Victoria, covenanting covers a range of relationships – between congregations, between parishes and between clergy. Both metropolitan and country churches are involved. Some covenants are longstanding; others have been developed much more recently. The Trinity Declaration and Code of Practice between Anglican and Uniting Churches provides guidelines and ongoing support for cooperating congregations. Christ Church Kensington has been a joint Anglican-Uniting parish for twenty years. The members always worship together and there is no distinction between them. One of the tasks has been to keep the two traditions alive – hard work! There has been heartache, as being a joint congregation has not always been easy. However, the congregation values its ecumenical nature and its openness, flexibility and inclusiveness. Children especially value their place in the congregation. Besides membership from the two founding traditions, members have come from other traditions; there are several Catholics among the members. The increasing gentrification of Kensington has placed the congregation in communal change, but members value the opportunity to witness to the rest of the church. Until recently there have been two clergy, one from each tradition, but currently there is an Anglican priest. In Melbourne, one of the oldest covenants is that between three traditions at Toorak . In this suburb, St John’s Anglican, St Peter’s Catholic and Toorak Uniting churches are in the same street, in close proximity, encouraging a tightly knit community. The Toorak Ecumenical Covenant has been renewed annually at Pentecost for seventeen years. The congregations pray for each other at every service and together each month.

Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of the City of Greater Shepparton. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for the City of Greater Shepparton. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.
