The Deputy Secretary, Mr John Lawson had been Ac­ ting Secretary for Planning until Mr Yencken's appointment. Mr Yencken has had extensive experience in both public and private sectors. He was Chairman of the Interim Committee on the National Estate, and later Chair­ man of the Australian Heritage Commission (1975-81). He has served on numerous government and non-government bodies, including the Commonwealth Building Research and Development Advisory Committee. He was inaugural Chairman of the Australian Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites and represented Australia as joint leader of the Australian Delegation to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in 1980 and 1981. He was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1982 for service in the fields of Conservation and History. In the private sector Mr Yencken was active for many years in building and planning spheres as eo-founder, chairman and joint managing director of Mer­ chant Builders Pty Ltd (1965-81) and chairman and managing director of Tract Consultants Australia Pty Ltd (1971-79). FOREWORD The 1982-83 year began with many new emphases new policy directions set by a new Government and the appointment of a new permanent head. To assess the possible effects of the new policies and the opportunities they presented, the Department organised a series of 'search' meetings in metropolitan and country regions, involving agencies and community groups with interests in planning. This gave staff the chance to exchange ideas with various groups, to hear suggestions for action and to consider how the Department might co-operate more effectively with other agencies. It also provided me with the chance to hear at first hand how communities and individuals felt about local issues. Sixteen of these meetings were held across Victoria between October 1982 and January 1983, pro­ viding valuable contacts, information and understanding of issues concerning dif­ ferent regions and projects. The Department's five major projects for the year were: a review of planning legislation and procedures which have long needed overhaul; planning for the cen­ tral city and development of the Yarra's south bank, both areas of State impor­ tance where the Minister has planning control; the western suburbs program and Lynch's Bridge project which have involved extensive public consultation and in­ vestigation of possibilities for improving the environment and living conditions in the west; and the Ballarat Area Strategy Plan which will give both public agen­ cies and the private sector a better basis for making decisions on future programs and investment. Details of these five projects are in the body of this repon. The way they are being tackled reflects the new concerns of this Department. While statutory planning is the Department's basic work, we have given a marked new emphasis to setting strategic objectives, establishing urban management systems and developing means of direct action to achieve objectives and bring about desired change, particularly for a more equitable distribution of resources and facilities. This will mean greater need for the analysis of social, economic and environmen­ tal trends, more direct involvement in getting results on the ground, greater con­ cern with the form, quality and appropriateness of developments, and more effec­ tive communication with local government and local communities. The change in emphasis obviously puts additional demands on the Department. We are therefore assessing all divisions and considering how staff might be deployed to the areas of greatest need. We are developing a new policy analysis research unit and strengthening the Department's design and landscape/architectural skills. This expertise will be used in future as part of an extended advisory services program for councils and local communities. Further major changes are soon to take place. Following the Government's de­ cision to restructure four departments - Planning, Conservation, Forests and Lands -into two, this Department will double its staff numbers and acquire new respon­ sibilities for the management and protection of the environment. We look forward to a considerably broadened scope of work in 1983/84. DAVID YENCKEN SECRETARY FOR PLANNING 1 ROLE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Planning began operation on 2 February 1981 following amalgamation of the Ministry for Planning and the Town and Country Planning Board. It is concerned primarily with co-ordination and control of the use of private land in Victoria. Under the Town and Country Planning Act a decentralised system of planning administration has been developed in which local and regional authorities are given the responsibility for preparing and amending planning schemes and for administer­ ing land use controls. The Department's main functions are to be responsible for land use strategies; to review and report on planning schemes and urban renewal proposals prepared throughout the State; to administer some planning schemes; to prepare strategy plans where appropriate; to advise and assist regional planning authorities (including the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works), local councils and the public; and to advise the Minister. It also assists with the protection of the State's heritage of historic buildings and areas, and is responsible for the restructuring of old and inappropriate subdivisions in Victoria. It oversees the development of the Melton Sunbury growth centre. Acts administered by the Department are: Central Gippsland (Brown Coal Land Compensation) 1980 Development Areas /973 Geelong Regional Commission 1977 (Jointly with: Ministry for &onomic Development Historic Buildings 1981 Planning Appeals Board 1980 Town and Country Planning 1961 Town and Country Planning (Amalgamation) 1980 Town and Country Planning (Western Port) 1981 Upper Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Authority 1976 The Department consists of an executive and five divisions: Port Phillip, Coun­ try Victoria, Planning Services, Special Projects and Administrative Services. Its activities are organised on a regional basis with offices in Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, Cranbourne, Traralgon, Warrnambool and Wodonga. Co-ordination with other agencies The Department has made a particular effort this year to strengthen its co­ ordinating role, working with government agencies, local authorities, community groups and individuals to prepare plans for projects, while other agencies take responsibility for physical works. This has involved both private and public sector developments.

    Part 5. the Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988

    The New Dissenters The Renewal of Victorian Goldfields Agitation in the 20th Century Part Five The Battle of Bet Bet 1986-1988 The Battle of Bet Bet was about a local government placing a whole new layer of approvals and bonds on Miner’s Right Claims and Leases. It also tried to introduce a set of heritage overlays they effectively shut down the shire in respect of mining. It culminated a period of intense anti-mining ideology. Prior, in the years 1986 and 1987 there was a near unbelievable continuous inflow of argument and expectations about mining law, rights and amendments. This included intense activity from land protection groups and the government with its rapidly multiplying departments. The only people who did not go on the anti-mining attack were the small-scale gold miners, who found themselves continuously on the defensive against further restrictions and losses. Underlying and disguised by all of this chaos and regulatory tinkering was a new threat which appeared to be simply another review of mining.

DEDICATION To the previously unrecognised people who worked so hard to try and protect Victoria’s gold prospecting and small-scale gold mining heritage and those who realise the importance of understanding your own history.

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

This camp included a Sub Inspector, two Sergeants, a Corporal, six mounted and twelve-foot Constables, a Postmaster, Clerk and Tent Keeper. For a while this was the headquarters for the entire Mining District. 1 1853 Moliagul: Opened in 1853 along with Surface Gully. Their richness influenced the moving of the settlement from Commissioners Gully to where the township is now. 2 1853: Burnt Creek, the creek itself, was so-called before gold digging started, but Burnt Creek goldfield, situated about two miles south of Dunolly, started with the discovery of gold early in 1853, and at a rush later that year ... Between August and October 1853 the Commissioners’ Camp at Jones Creek was shifted to Burnt Creek, where there had been a rush ... By April 1854 there had been an increase in population at Burnt Creek, and there were 400 diggers there in July. Digging was going on in Quaker’s Gully and two large nuggets were found there in 1854, by October there were 900 on the rush, and the Bet Bet reef was discovered. By November 1854 the gold workings extended three miles from Bet Bet to Burnt Creek and a Commissioners’ Camp was started at Bet Bet, near where Grant’s hotel was later.

    092%.%%3À0,!..).'À3#(%-% LOCAL PROVISION 21.02 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 21.02-1 Profile of Pyrenees Shire Pyrenees Shire was created in September 1994 by the amalgamation of the Shires of Avoca, Lexton and Ripon. It takes its name from the Pyrenees Range - a “fold range” which is almost entirely located within its municipal borders. 21.02-2 Regional Context Pyrenees Shire is located in central Victoria between the regional centres of Ballarat and Ararat. It shares common boundaries with the City of Ballarat and Shire of Hepburn to the east, Golden Plains Shire to the south-east, Corangamite and Moyne Shires to the south, Rural City of Ararat to the west, Northern Grampians Shire to the north-west and Central Goldfields Shire to the north-east. The Shire covers an area of 3457 square kilometres, extending approximately 90 kilometres in a north- south direction and 40 kilometres in an east-west direction. Despite its size, the Shire has only a small population, the majority of which reside in the towns of Beaufort and Avoca. There are a number of smaller townships and settlements located throughout the Shire however, which provide local services and facilities to surrounding rural areas and provide important foci for community activities and social interaction. The Western, Sunraysia and Pyrenees Highways pass through the Shire and provide it with good connections to the surrounding region and to Melbourne. However the good external road connections combined with the small population has resulted in residents relying to some extent on the nearby regional centres and large towns for employment and to meet their needs for retail services, community services and entertainment.

Ellingford Witnesses Cr D. Bell, Mayor; Cr K. Sleep; and Ms J. Tod, Chief Executive Officer, Shire of Yarriambiack. 29 August 2001 Economic Development Committee 165 The CHAIRMAN — I declare open the Warracknabeal hearings of the Economic Development Committee, an all-party investigatory committee of the Legislative Council. All evidence taken by the committee, including submissions, is subject to parliamentary privilege and is granted immunity from judicial review pursuant to the Constitution Act and the Parliamentary Committees Act. Today the committee is hearing evidence on its references into structural change in the Victorian economy and exports. I thank the Shire of Yarriambiack for making the facilities available for the hearings. I welcome the mayor, Cr Bell, Cr Sleep and Ms Tod, the chief executive officer of the shire. The committee appreciates being here and looks forward to hearing from the council and other members of the community in Warracknabeal. Would you care to make an opening statement? Cr BELL — The Shire of Yarriambiack is a big shire and covers 200 kilometres from one end to the other, with 13 small towns. In the past few years we have seen a dramatic decrease in the population. We also have had a lot of people move from other areas to live into the small towns of the shire.
