City of Glen Eira Local Flood Guide
LocalCity Flood of Glen Guide Eira Local Flood Guide Flash flood information for: McKinnon & Ormond Caulfield & Caulfield South Glen Huntly & Carnegie Reviewed: September 2018 Local Flood Guide City of Glen Eira The Glen Eira Local Area The City of Glen Eira is located in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, about 10 kilometres from the Melbourne Central Business District. It covers 15 suburbs, is approximately 39 square kilometres in size and has a population of 149,000. European settlement dates from the 1840s when the land was swampy and used mainly for farming in the north and market gardening in the south. Significant and frequently devastating flooding has occurred in this area over a long period of time. Recently, large flood events were experienced in February 2011 and December 2016, both of which resulted in wide-spread, above floor flooding of properties. How the drainage system works in Glen Eira Waterways within Glen Eira have undergone significant change and modification as the area has developed and natural waterways have been constructed into an underground drainage network. There are some areas where there are no underground drainage pipes. These areas are generally in the older parts of the city and are drained by either private drainage pipes or by the kerbs and channels of the road network that drain stormwater into drainage pits. Most flooding problems occur because older suburbs like Glen Eira were built to different drainage design standards to those that apply today. Suburbs developed before the mid to late 1970s did not plan for how water would flow over land when the drainage system was full.This means that the excess floodwater still follows natural valleys and drainage paths, which sometimes run through properties and buildings. -
European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole. -

Elster Creek Catchment
MOU ELSTER CREEK CATCHMENT Purpose This Memorandum of Understanding: • Defines, at a high-level, the drainage problem of concern to communities living, working and visiting within the Elster Creek catchment • Sets out the core principles to promote collaboration between the four relevant councils and Melbourne Water to find effective evidence-based and innovative solutions to address the catchment’s flooding issues, where possible. • Seeks to achieve multiple benefits in all flood mitigation outcomes Parties The five relevant parties are: o Melbourne Water o The City of Bayside o The City of Glen Eira o The City of Kingston o The City of Port Phillip Problem Statement Flooding is a function of rainfall runoff exceeding the capacity of underground and surface drainage systems and waterways across the Elster Creek catchment, as well as storm surge and king tides. Climate change and infill development are very likely to exacerbate the frequency and impact of flooding events. Flooding within Elwood is disproportionate to its area of the catchment. In Glen Eira and Bayside, a large number of properties and dwellings flood during heavy rainfall events. Reducing the impact of increased runoff on flood vulnerable areas requires the Elster Creek catchment to be managed as a whole. All flood retention, detention and conveyance opportunities to reduce flood impact are to be considered irrespective of municipal boundaries. It is recognised that evidence-based and innovative solutions should consider co-existence of multiple land-uses and multi-functions to achieve optimal community benefit, noting that flood mitigation investment is mutually inclusive with both passive and active recreation. -

The Anatol Kagan Collection includes material relating to the Russian-born émigré’s Melbourne practice in the 1940s and early 1950s, and his subsequent Sydney practice from the 1960s. His post-war domestic architecture can be directly compared with that of other émigré architects whose work is represented in the Archives, including Frederick Romberg (rda Newsletter #1 2008), Ernest Fooks (some of whose drawings and books were donated to rmit a number of years ago by Noemi Fooks) and Frederick Sterne (rda Newsletter #1 2008). -
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. -
