Hume Integrated Aged Care Plan Department of Health Hume Region Integrated Aged Care Plan 2010 – 2015 Final Report August 2010 Hume Region Integrated Aged Care Plan: Final Report Foreword The development of a Hume Integrated Aged Care Plan signals the commitment of the Hume Region Department of Health, service providers, and other stakeholders to achieve integrated aged care services across the Hume Region. Key to reaching this goal is the recommendation that aged care providers collaborate to further develop the Region‟s partnership approaches, planning structures and processes. With a well developed aged care service planning structure in operation, critical aged care issues can be better informed, understood and addressed jointly to meet the challenges associated with the growing number and of older people in Hume and their increasing support and care needs. Through the implementation of the Integrated Plan, the Region will be able to gain greater clarity of the issues affecting the provision of aged care services for older people and continue the process of addressing these issues together. The project consultants, LIME Management Group, wish to acknowledge and thank the many individuals and organisations who generously gave of their time and provided valuable contributions during the development of the Plan. It is important to note that the Plan relied upon the input and work of many stakeholders particularly service providers, carers and consumers who participated in Region-wide consultations, a workshop and the Integrated Aged Care Plan Steering Committee. In addition the Hume Region Department of Health provided support and leadership for the Plan and the Steering Committee was chaired by the Hume Health Services Partnership representative. The next steps for the Hume Integrated Aged Care Plan are acceptance by the Department of Health and endorsement by the Hume Health Services Partnership. The Integrated Aged Care Plan Steering Committee will provide carriage for the Plan through the acceptance and endorsement process and remain actively involved while the Aged Care Collaborative is established to take the Plan forward. On behalf of the Integrated Aged Care Plan Steering Committee and the Department of Health we are pleased to commend the Hume Region Integrated Aged Care Plan 2010 - 2015. “signature” “signature” Nick

Integrated Aged Care Plan outlined in Section 4, reflects the new aged care paradigm which promotes positive and healthy aging, independence, and early intervention for consumers. For service providers the focus is on innovative and flexible service models and a person centred approach. Two other areas, easily accessible service information for providers and consumers, and building workforce capacity and capability were found to be very significant issues and are addressed in the recommendations. Identification of key issues and development of the Hume Integrated Aged Care Plan were informed by many sources: . Policy information . Demographic, health and service information . Consumer, carer and service provider consultations . Service provider survey data . Regional contextual information . Gap Analysis Report . Project Steering Group and Stakeholder workshop and . Project Steering Group information, discussion and guidance. The Plan identifies five Recommendations, as well as Strategies and Actions for each recommendation. These are expanded upon in Section 4. A Hume Region Integrated Aged Care Service System Components, Model and Planning Structure have been developed and are described below. Hume Region: Integrated Aged Care Service System Components, Model and Planning Structure Figures 1 and 2 provide a Hume Integrated Aged Care Service System Components, Model and Planning Structure. The Service System Components figure highlights the range of services that need to work together on aged care service planning, development and delivery. The Model has, at its centre, the goal of providing „person centred‟ services and concentrates on the five elements that are covered in the recommendations: collaboration and partnerships; service information provision and sharing; innovative and flexible service models; workforce capacity and capability; health and wellbeing for older people. An overview of the planning structure is provided on page iii. The structure identifies the Hume Health Services Partnership (HHSP) as the authorising

By way of background, Wangaratta Unlimited is the economic development arm of the Rural City of Wangaratta. In November last year it decided to take a proactive response to the global economic downturn and commenced developing a response strategy. This strategy was finalised in February 2009 and submitted to Council for adoption. The strategy is based on the premise that "now is not the time to be timid". It acknowledges that while the Wangaratta regional economy will not be immune from the affects of the economic downturn, there are measures that can be undertaken to buffer these affects and indeed provide offsets to employment and economic activity in other directions. It is nominated four key directions for doing so: • Direct economic stimulation • Innovation and entrepreneurship • Leadership • Business support I look forward to your consideration of the Wangaratta Unlimited Global Economic Downturn Response Strategy and would be prepared to provide further information should you wish in this regard.

  • 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.

    24 September 2020 The Committee Manager Legislative Assembly Environment and Planning Committee Parliament House Spring Street EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3002 Dear Committee Manager MONASH CITY COUNCIL SUBMISSION TO THE INQUIRY INTO ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWING POPULATIONS Thank you for providing the Monash City Council with the opportunity to make a submission to the above inquiry. The City of Monash is located 20 kilometres south east of the Melbourne CBD. It has a population of 189,000 residents in 2016 (projected 200,148 in 2020). The population is expected to increase to over 238,000 by 2036. The rising population has resulted in an increase in the number of households and it is estimated that this will continue to drive demand for almost 15,000 new dwellings over the period 2021-2036. This is likely to be even higher due to the planning of the Suburban Rail Loop and potential for development intensification at the proposed major connecting stations at Glen Waverley, Clayton and Monash University. The Monash community highly values its environmental infrastructure. Monash is known for its ‘garden city character’ and Monash 21 establishes a vision for ‘a green and naturally rich city that keeps its green leafy character and values open spaces’. Monash Council has developed a number of important strategies and documents to manage, protect and enhance environmental infrastructure: Monash Open Space Strategy 2018 (MOSS). The MOSS sets out a framework of how to plan for the future needs of the existing and growing community for a Monash open space network of sports and leisure reserves, local parks and trails over the next 10 years.
