Funding Information Tour for Artists and Communities Across the State
MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday 24 April 2019 Funding information tour for artists and communities across the state Regional Arts Victoria, the Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria, welcome Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) this year, adding an important regional voice to a funding information tour across the state from Monday 20 May – Friday 24 May. The information sessions welcome enquiry from regional artists and arts organisations about what opportunities most suit the needs of their creative practice. The tour is also reciprocal in creating the opportunity for federal and state funding bodies being available and accessible to regional and remote areas of the state. “There is no better way to understand the needs of the artists and arts organisations than being present in these areas,” says Liz Zito, Regional Arts Victoria’s Director of Partnerships. Delivered in four different locations of the state, this year’s tour aims to connect ‘remote artists’ with information and opportunities that are offered through the Regional Arts Fund, and other federal and state funding bodies. The four locations are Portland, Kaniva, Warracknabeal and Maryborough. Impacts from this type of tour are four-fold. The organisations and funding become more accessible to communities. There is greater connection within communities between the people interested in funding. Relationships between the four organisations are better developed and informed by community, and the collegiate support grows between the four touring organisations. Sharing funding information in this manner is a strategic and coordinated approach to meeting the needs of regional and remote Victoria. “The partnership continues to be very successful.” Partnerships Coordinator, Edwina Guinness has instigated the tour and leads the delegates from the other funding bodies on the road trip. -

Louis Waller
Louis Waller In the thirty-four year history of the Monash Law Faculty no individual has played a greater role, or come to represent more completely the values and aspirations of the Faculty than Louis Waller. This issue of the Monash Uni- versity Law Review is intended as a mark of appreciation of Louis' contri- bution to his Faculty and his scholarly discipline. The articles published relate to areas of law to which he has made a particular contribution. The Law Review very kindly invited me to write an introductory piece dealing with Louis' work and career. It was an invitation I was pleased to accept, having known Louis since I came to the Faculty as a first year student in 1964. Louis Waller was born on 10 February 1935 in Siedlce, Poland. He was the only child of Jack and Hilda Waller. The family settled in Australia in 1938. Louis went to school at Brighton Road State School, Elwood Central School and University High School. He attended the University of Melbourne from 1952 to 1955, graduating LL B with Honours in 1956. From 1956 to 1958 he read for the degree of Bachelor of Civil Law at the University of Oxford, graduating with First Class Honours. While at Oxford he was a member of Magdalen College. He returned from Oxford to take up appointment as a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Melbourne the following year. Louis spent six years as a member of the Melbourne Law Faculty. He taught Introduction to Legal Method, pioneering the development of intro- ductory first year law teaching. -

CASEY.VIC.GOV.AU Joint Standing Committee on Migration - Inquiry into Migrant Settlement Outcomes City of Casey submission (23 March 2017) About the City of Casey The City of Casey is located around 35 kilometres to the south east of Melbourne, on the urban fringe between the City of Greater Dandenong and the Shire of Cardinia to the west and east, and the City of Frankston and Shire of Mornington Peninsula to the south. Casey has the highest population of any Local Government Area in Victoria and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Approximately 311,000 residents from more than 150 different cultural backgrounds and 120 religious faiths currently reside in Casey. The population is growing by an average of 7,600 people per year. By 2041, the number of residents is expected to increase to 514,000. This population growth is driven largely by young families. Some facts about our diverse community include:1 Over one third of Casey’s residents were born overseas, with the majority aged 40-64 years and migrating from Great Britain, India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Afghanistan. Almost 30 per cent of Casey residents were born in non-English speaking countries and 31 per cent speak languages other than English at home, with Sinhalese being most commonly spoken. Around 16 per cent of residents do not use English as a main language and 3.4 per cent experience limited English fluency. Casey has the fourth highest number of residents in Victoria from a refugee or asylum-seeker background (9.5%). -

I would like to get through your submission and have questions at the end although there will be free rein for my colleagues to put questions if they feel it is important to do so during your commentary. Hansard reporters are recording the comments today and I would like to you bear that in mind in terms of any comments you may make as they will probably end up being put on our web site as part of the transcript of the hearings. You will have the opportunity to proof your material. Should any issues arise during the course of our discussion that you feel are sensitive or best not outlined publicly then we can do that in camera or you can make a submission as to why it might not be appropriate to include those comments in the record and we will be happy to consider those factors.
