Chairman's Foreword This Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan has been written in a climate of changing predictions for the Region's future development and rate of growth. It is the first serious attempt to identify these changes and develop a program of actions dedicated to ensuring that a high quality of life is achieved for the regional community. The need for such a plan was born in the early 1980s when scenarios predicted 21 brown-coal-fired power stations spread throughout the Region. At the time, such development of our resources of coal, oil, gas and timber, while vital to Victoria's development, was subjecting the Region to major change and pressures. Those scenarios have changed to such an extent that future brown-coal-fired stations are being challenged as uneconomic and the long term future of the Region is under threat. As such, the priorities of a Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan must now be the need to diversify the Region's economy away from being almost totally reliant on power generation. It also needs to take steps to avoid the problems created by cyclic industrial activity. I believe we can succeed. Just as circumstances have changed since the early 1980s, the future is likewise uncertain. Although we are able to make informed predictions about future growth patterns, the Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan will need to be constantly monitored to ensure its effectiveness in meeting the needs and aspirations of the community. Thus the 1988 Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan is the first step in an on-going process. The Plan will be released simultaneously with the Latrobe Regional Land Use Policy and Latrobe Regional Environment Policy. Together these documents comprise a package entitled Steps Ahead. As the title Steps Ahead suggests, the Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan and its companion documents are intended to provide clear directions for the Region. They will be on public exhibition for three months, during which, submissions will be invited. They should be lodged with the LRC by 13 July, 1988. Following consultation, and if necessary appropriate modification, it is anticipated that the Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan will be adopted as Government policy for all agenr,ies involved in decision making within, and on behalf of, the Region. I commend this plan to you. It is an attempt to maintain this beautiful area's rightful place as the Jewel in Victoria's Crown. I hope that all people interested in the future of this exciting Region will read it, comment and act in accordance with it to further the interests of the regional community. The future development of our Region depends on it. Robert J. Seear CHAIRMAN Acknowledgments The preparation of the material comprising Steps Ahead is the culmination of a great deal of work which would not have been possible without the generous assistance provided over an extended period of time by many individuals, groups, organizations, local Councils and Government Departments and Agencies.

During that period the cumulative effects of peaks of act1v1ty, interspaced with equally significant troughs, led to considerable problems. Compounding these problems was a lack of effective planning and decision making. The challenges for the Region over the coming decade are likely to be substantially different from those of the past. Where past problems were caused by rapid growth and lack of co-ordinated planning, the problems of the next decade, and beyond, are ant1c1pated to be those of low growth and possible stagnation. It is likely that any growth will sl1ll t.Je subject to cyclic impacts but of less magnitude and evidence would suggest the Region is better placed to cope. Extensive consultation has shown the overwhelming concerns of the regional community to be the need for lmprovea regional employment and economic stability while simultaneously ensuring the social well being of the community. For these reasons, the Latrobe Regional Strategy Plan seeks to focus on these economic and social concerns of the community. Actions proposed in the plan are designed to create more stability in the Region by d1vers1ty1ng the regional economy. This will reduce the impact that cyclic industrial activity has, and will . continue lo <:HllSP.. Expanded opportunities tor business and employment together with improved planning and co-ordination of intrnstr11r.t11rP will hPnPfit the whole commLinity. ,...~ . The plan identifies seven objectives which form the socio-economic focus of the strategy. Each is accomoo.n1od by dotn1lcxl n1.t1on nlnns The objectives are: 1. To encourage development of "grass roots" regional enterprises; 2. To attract investment from outside the Region in new industries and in those industries able to employ the under-ut111sfH1 skills ot thA rP.01onr.il community; 3. To support established industries to ensure there is no net decline in the total number of employment opportunities in indu.st1·i~::, ull1~1 l11d11 111dju1 cu11::;l1ucliu11 industries; 4. I u ensure that education and vocational training within the Region are oriented towards establishing a wider skills base which will encourage economic growth and meet the employment aspirations of the community; 5. To co-ordinate the provision of infrastructure related to industrial and economic activity; 6. To ensure that, through more responsive planning processes, services are matched to the needs of the regional community at all times; and 7. To promote the lifestyle opportunities of the Region in order to attract new professional and managerial staff. s A range of actions has been developed to meet these objectives and create a more diverse and robust economic base. These are: • Io assist local people to develop businesses using their own skills, a range of business assistance programmes will be made available and potential new industry prospects in horticulture, agroforestry, wood products, tourism and the arts will be encouraged; • To assist in bringing new businesses to the Region, a range of identified opportunities in the timber drying, horticultural and brown coal industrios will bo marketed; ::ind • To support established local businesses, a range of business services and support mechanisms will be establist1ed. I hese will include a power industry forum to continuously monitor the progress of the Latrobe Region's biggest single employer. The following set of complementary actions is proposed: • To ensure that education and vocational training are appropriate, a range of actions is proposed to support the development of specialist courses by education and training institutes; • To ensure that infrastructure commensurate with community development is provided, the LRC will push for the early determination of infrastructure nE'eds, the equitable sharing of the costs related to major project development, the upgrading of major highways and rail links, and the provision of adequate water reserves and waste disposal systems; • The LRC proposes an expanded and comprehensive set of planning, co-ordination, participation and monitoring systems to more effectively determine and provide services which match the needs of the community; and • A comprehensive promotional campaign is proposed to particularly attract professional and managerial staff. Implementation of the plan will require wide acceptance and ready co-operation by the regional community and agencies operating in the Region. Specific targets have been set for each objective. Among these the LRC aims to: • Create 50 new jobs a year through the encouragement of grass roots enterprises; • Create a further 50 new jobs per year through the attraction of outside investment in new industries in the Region; and • Ensure there is no net decline in existing employment opportunites.

VICtORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Report of the REGISTRAR for the Year ended 30 June 1985 Ordered by the Legislative Assembly to be printed MELBOURNE F D ATKINSON GOVERNMENT PRINTER 1986 No. 76 VICfORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Fortieth Annual Report on the Registrar Financial year ended 30 June 1985 The Honourable the Minister of Housing This report, which is submitted pursuant to section 71 of the Co-operative Housing Societies Act 1958 (No. 6226), covers the financial year ended 30 June 1985. A brief statistical summary of some of the operations of co-operative housing societies, to the close of the year under review, is presented in a supplement to this report. The summary is necessarily brief as staff and time constraints have considerably reduced the volume of statistical information collected and details gleaned from various Australian Bureau of Statistics Bulletins are unavailable at the time of preparation of the report. REGISfRAR'S STATEMENT The year to June, 1985, was again one of great change for financial institutions and co-operative housing societies took part in these developments. The deregulation of the banking sector continued with the Federal Treasurer announcing that 16 major foreign financial institutions had been invited to make application for licences to operate banks in Australia. It was quite clear that, although not all had commenced operations, the spectre they raised was having a marked effect on the existing banks as they positioned themselves to prepare for the new entrants. This was best seen in extensive advertising campaigns, the aggressive search for funds and other measures to raise their corporate profile and operations.

  • 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.

Why were rivers and mountains given their names? Who named our towns? Were then named after a person? What do these words mean? Bob Newton of Korumburra has been working on the origin of street and road names in the former shires that make up the South Gippsland Shire for many years. He has produced two books so far, one on the former Shire of Korumburra and one on the former Shire of Mirboo. The Woorayl Shire and the old South Gippsland Shire (Foster) streets are works in progress. Surveyor John Lardner named many places while surveying our region in the 1870s and 80s.
