The parameters of the brief were to locate buildings or sites of architectural or historical significance in the Berwick-Pakenham Corridor. The resultant report is to be used in the strategic planning for the Corridor. Insofar as the project was limited in time and funds, and the major use of the. final document was to be a heritage analysis of the suitability 6f land for future development, the compiling of this report was organised around specific priorities. It was decided not to conduct an exhaustive conservation study, in which every building in the area would be analysed for architectural or historical significance and classified on the basis of.a thorough search of all available primary and secondary source material, as this approach would inevitably run short of time, and thus in all likelihood overlook some important areas, buildings and places. Instead an attempt was made at'a general survey, which would locate all previously identified or obviously significant buildings (and hopefully a large proportion of the more obscure examples) and gather such information as was most readily available on the major buildingu. ·AS a result, most of the information gathered has come from secondary sources such as local histories and interviews with owners, occupiers and other interested parties, rather than the more time consuming study of primary material such as rate books, notices of intention and the like. This remains an . option for those buildings which may come under consideration for statutory protection. The study has also concentrated on a number of specific priority zones established by the Ministry, and on the smaller towns and rural areas outside the well established urbs of Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton and Pakenham. Some buildings of importance have been identified in the built up areas of Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton and , I Pakenham though the list is by no means comprehensive as these I highly developed areas will remain largely unaffected by the corridor planning exercise. 2 DISCUSSION OF SURVEY AND FINDINGS 2.1 The Corridor The Corridor comprises an irregular area roughly 44 kilometres in length and varying in width from about 14 kilometres at the west end to 3 kilometres at the east. Its spine is the Princes Highway, along which it extends for the full 44 kilometres from west to east. 2.2 Priority Zones (Refer Illustration 1) Of the total area, 9 small zones around the Berwick and Beaconsfield townships have been targeted by the Ministry for II immediate residential zoning (illustration 1). These were I I , surveyed in detail, and generally found to contain little of note. By way of exception, however, Zone 8 is adjacent to Melville Park (the Edrington estate), Zone 4 is adjacent to the Springfield cheese factory and home·stead complex and The Springs homestead and outbuildings (but appears to include no buildings from either), and Zone 9 includes Clover Cottage and the Minard and Meadowbrooks homesteads. Edrington is already adequately protected by its inclusion on the Register of the Historic Buildings and the easements established around the building in plans for the development of Melville Park as a retirement home (plans which have already received a permit from the H B C). II The east boundarY of Zone 4 needs to be carefully established in relation to the Springfield complex, as it seems to run very close to these important buildings, and may even include them. Protection of the buildings should be· facilitated by their position on Crown Land, at present administered by the Berwick City Council. The southern boundary runs along Greaves Road, and is thus adjacent to The Springs property, which extends south of this road. However, the homestead and outbuildings are set a considerable way back from the road, and thus should not be immediately affected. Zone 9 includes the Clover Cottage, Minard and Meadowbrooks properties, all of which may be threatened by demolition when the land is rezoned. Clover Cottage has been examined by the National Trust but is considered not to be of National or State significance. However, it is considered that the building may make an architectural and historic contribution at the local level. Further research is necessary. Minard and Meadowbrooks are of less apparent interest, but also need to be assessed in terms of age and intactness. Meadowbrooks provides an example of an unusual construction type, while Minard dates in part from the nineteenth century. Zones 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 may be considered free of bu~ldings of significance.

I ....... _ ._--------'="U 115000 Illustration 1: priority zones within the Corridor 2.3 Data Collected and Building Classification Approximately 120 buildings and sites of significance have been identified within the planning corridor (see Section 4). A further 60 buildings and sites (approx.), located outside the corridor~ have also been identified (see Section 5). Of the total number of buildings and sites, only a small proportion were previously known to the Heritage Branch. Files have now been established for many of the more significant buildings. These files have each been allocated a status of either Ber/Pak A, Ber/Pak B or Ber/Pak C within the HBC computer system. The A buildings are of national or state significance, and are included on or should be recommended for inclusion on the Register of Historic Buildings and the Register of the National Estate. The B buildings are of regional or local significance, are relatively intact and of considerable architectural merit and/or. historical importance. These may be included upon or should be recommended for the Register of the National Estate. The C buildings make an architectural or historic contribution that is important within the local area. This includes well preserved examples of particular styles of construction, as well as individually significant buildings that have been altered or defaced. This last category, though by far the largest, should also be considered the least complete, until such a time as comprehensive heritage studies of the several municipal~ties of the Corridor have been undertaken. All A, Band C buildings should be considered for statutory protection by means of an amendment to the various municipal planning schemes. Of the approximately 120 buildings and sites within the corridor, 103 have been graded as follows: Ber/Pak A 5 Ber/Pak B 19 Ber/Pak C 79 This inventory is supplemented by another three lists. The first notes significant buildings falling just outside the corridor. Some of these sites have also been graded. The second list records buildings identified in secondary sources, but found to have been demolished. The third list is a record of significant buildings both inside and outside the corridor according to their level of categorisation. 2.4 Buildings listed without annotation A number of buildings in the lists have not been annotated in any way. The majority of such buildings are listed as falling immediately outside the confines of the Corridor. These buildings were not inspected either because of their position outside the Corridor or because .their possible significance was brought to the attention of the survey after field work had been completed. No information on their present condition or status has been obtained, and this should be made a priority of subsequent municipal heritage studies. 2.5 Further Notes Two major factors should be taken into account when reviewing these lists and statistics. The first is the rapid development of the corridor area since the late 1960s, particularly in Berwick, Cranbourne and Pakenham, which has seen the destruction or radical alteration of a high proportion of the few town buildings surviving from the pioneering era in these towns.. The second is the frequency and ferocity with which bushfires have swept through the area, destroying many isolated homesteads as well as large sections of some of the smaller towns such as Bunyip or Garfield. These factors have resulted in a poverty of significant building stock in the Corridor, a poverty especially noticeable around the Cranbourne township, which has lost almost all major commercial, residential or public buildings from pre 1950.

  • In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976
    In the Shadow of Metropolitan Planning Local Plan Making in Melbourne, 1946 to 1976 Dr Benno Engels School of Global, Urban and Social Studies RMIT University Victoria, Australia benno.engels@rmit.edu.au Melbourne has evolved and changed over time in response to the many challenges that this city has faced over the last century and a half. Some of this change was due to forces that lay beyond the control of those who governed it whereas other changes had been guided by local government acts and a handful of metropolitan level strategic plans. Largely absent from the historical narratives that have been written about the planning of Melbourne is what had happened to urban planning at the local level. This is a serious gap in our understanding of Melbourne’s historical urban development when it is remembered that local councils and shires had been charged with enforcing metropolitan strategy since 1955. It was at the local government level that the detailed strategic and statutory planning was undertaken but it was also here at the local level that a city’s capacity to respond to any newly emerging challenges were either expedited or stymied. In an attempt to shed some light on this much neglected facet of Melbourne’s urban planning history this paper proposes to investigate how much urban planning took place at the local level and what forms it took between 1944 to 1976, plus what factors may have impacted upon the local plan making process. Keywords — Local planning schemes; Town and Country Planning Board, Melbourne. INTRODUCTION Daniel Burnham, the famous American architect and urban planner of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has been quoted as saying, ‘…make no little plans.

  • Place Names of Casey and Cardinia
    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist. Army Road, Pakenham Army Road marks the location of the Salvation Army boy's home established in Pakenham in 1900. It subsequently became a home for Girls and then an Old Men's Home. The home closed in the 1920s. The Army Road School. No.3847, operated intermittently form 1914 until 1947. (W, V) Avonsleigh John (J.W) and Anna wright owned a guesthouse called Avonsleigh House at the corner of Emerald-Macclesfield and Emerald Roads. The name was adopted in 1911. The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'. (B) Ballarto Road John Bakewell retained ownership of the Tooradin run in 1856 when his partnership with John Mickle and William Lyall dissolved.

  • 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.

It forms part of the Casey-Cardinia Growth Area and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Covering an area of 395 square kilometres, Casey is characterised by a diverse environment that extends from the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges to the shores of Western Port, providing an interface between country Victoria (Gippsland) and metropolitan Melbourne. Casey comprises five distinct geographical regions: The foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, which are characterised by areas used for grazing, horse agistment and passive recreation, are located north of Casey’s population centre and include the rural-residential and village locales of Harkaway, Lysterfield South and Narre Warren North. The residential and commercial heart, which generally follows the Princes Highway and South Gippsland Highway corridors, and includes the suburbs of Beaconsfield (part), Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Eumemmerring, Endeavour Hills, Hallam, Hampton Park and Narre Warren. The urban growth area, which is characterised by strong building activity and rapid population growth, is located centrally in Casey extending to the east, south and west of the established urban area, and includes the developing suburbs of Botanic Ridge, Clyde (part), Clyde North, Cranbourne East, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne West, Junction Village, Lynbrook, Lyndhurst and Narre Warren South.

  • Friends of Wilson Botanic Park Berwick1.46
    Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations Wilson Botanic Park Berwick is situated on the site of a decommissioned quarry that closed in 1978. The original donation of 17 hectares was donated to City of Berwick by George Wilson to be retained in perpetuity as a public park. Further land was purchased over the years to increase its size to 39 hectares. Work commenced on stage one of the project in Feb. 1988, with financial support from City of Berwick, private donations and a Federal Government grant. The Park was opened to the public in 1992, and with council amalgamation in 1994 is now administered by the City of Casey. The purpose of the Park is to provide a range of botanic species as well as a place for passive engagement within the City of Casey community and neighbouring areas. It is a place for community events, and also provides educational opportunities of an environmental nature. Wilson Botanic Park Berwick is enclosed on all sides by housing development with road access via a long driveway off the Princes Highway, and also two smaller pedestrian access gates from suburban streets. Before the housing development that occurred in the late 80’s on the western boundary, Berwick City failed to secure additional land that would have given further scope to the Park, and as a consequence has created difficulties with access and car parking. Along with suburban development, within a 5 km radius of the Park there are around six Retirement Villages, and new planning regulations will allow multi storey buildings to 5 storeys.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
