  • Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: an Artefact-Led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia
    Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: An Artefact-led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia Katherine Hepworth Doctor of Philosophy 2012 ii iii Abstract Government emblems are a rich source of historical information. This thesis examines the evidence of past governance discourses embodied in government emblems. Embodied discourses are found within an archive of 282 emblems used by local governments in Victoria, Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They form the basis of a history of governance in the State of Victoria from first British exploration in 1803 to the present day. This history of governance was written to test the main contribution of this thesis: a new graphic design history method called discursive method. This new method facilitates collecting an archive of artefacts, identifying discourses embodied within those artefacts, and forming a historical narrative of broader societal discourses and ideologies surrounding their use. A strength of discursive method, relative to other design history methods, is that it allows the historian to seriously investigate how artefacts relate to the power networks in which they are enmeshed. Discursive method can theoretically be applied to any artefacts, although government emblems were chosen for this study precisely because they are difficult to study, and rarely studied, within existing methodological frameworks. This thesis demonstrates that even the least glamorous of graphic design history artefacts can be the source of compelling historical narratives. iv Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been written without the support of many people. Fellow students, other friends and extended family have helped in many small ways for which I am so grateful.

    smartOutput Moreland City Council The Business The City of Moreland is a Local Government area located within the Metropolitan area of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. It is comprised of the inner northern suburbs of the Melbourne city centre and covers an area of 51km2. The area was established in 1994 during the forced amalgamations of the former local government areas of the City of Brunswick, the City of Coburg and a portion of the City of Broadmeadows. According to the 2011 Census the City of Moreland has a population of 147,241. Moreland City Council is the governing body for the City of Moreland. The Council consists of more than 1,000 employees spread across 22 different locations. Moreland City Council prides themselves on their focus to continuously serve the residents of the City of Moreland and improve the level of service that they receive. The Challenge Moreland City Council identified a single point of failure within the Payroll and Finance departments. Printing Cheques and Payslips, two of the Council’s more important printing requirements, was totally dependent on the software installed on one printing device. “We needed to remove our dependence on the physical print device and implement a more robust, configurable and scalable backend solution that provided greater benefits and reduced risk to Council,” stated Bernard Hoehmann, Moreland City Council’s IT Project Manager. +61 1300 378 836 (Australia) | +44 203 355 1237 (UK) +1 213 291 0523 (USA) | +63 2 817 4901 (Philippines) [email protected] | www.redmap.com 1 smartOutput - Moreland City Council Case Study The Solution “Redmap provided Council with greater control over our Moreland City Council chose to implement Redmap cheque and payslip printing based on cost, vendor experience and the software’s fit requirements.

The area achieved local governance as the newly formed Borough of Brunswick in 1857; the municipality was elevated to the Town of Brunswick in 1888 and to the City of Brunswick in 1908. Brunswick is now part of a larger municipal area, the City of Moreland, which was formed in 1994 through an amalgamation of the former City of Fitzroy, the former City of Coburg, and a small area of the former City of Fitzroy. Brunswick, located a few miles north of central Melbourne, was first surveyed in 1839 to provide 16 farming allotments ranging in size from 100 to 300 acres. The early allotments each had a frontage to either the Moonee Ponds or Merri Creeks and to a rough north–south track that soon became known as the Sydney Road. The allotments were quickly sold over three auctions, mostly to private speculators, and re-subdivision began almost immediately. On the west side of Sydney Road James Simpson subdivided his allotment, creating Albert (then Carmarthen) and Victoria (then Llandillo) streets. When Thomas Wilkinson purchased the allotment on the opposite side of Sydney Road he extended Victoria and Albert streets.

  • 7 Parkview Avenue, Brunswick East Survey Date
    PLACE Prepared by: Context Pty Ltd Address: Survey Date: 7 Parkview Avenue, Brunswick East Name: Architect: Place Type: Residential House Builder: Grading: Significant Construction Date: 1956 Extent of Overlay: To title boundaries Architectural Style: Postwar Period (1945-1965) Locality History The suburb of East Brunswick formed part of the former City of Brunswick. It is bounded on the north by Moreland Road, on the east by Lygon Street and on the west by the Merri Creek, which formed the eastern limit of the former City of Brunswick. The creek attracted settlers who took up farming. Quarrying was an early industry in the area, with Wales’ bluestone quarry (City of Moreland HO2) established near the Merri Creek in the 1860s. Other quarries followed and clay pits were also established. Following the pattern of development in Brunswick proper, there was extensive subdivision of land in East Brunswick for residential development in the 1880s. There was a larger proportion of detached housing in East Brunswick than Brunswick proper, particularly from the Edwardian period, reflecting a major period of development in the suburb. With suburban growth came the demand for the provision of public space and Fleming Park was developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1917-18. The electric tram along Lygon Street commenced in 1916 to service workers in the growing area. The textile industry thrived in East Brunswick, with Prestige Hosiery established in 1922. Settled slightly later than Brunswick proper, some large estates survived longer into the twentieth century. The Sumner property, ‘Stony Park’ (built c.1860s) on the west bank of the Merri Creek, was subdivided in 1924 and was developed as an extensive interwar housing estate (Sumner Estate, HO238).
