    Objection 60 Charles Richardson 14 pages Victorian secretariat Phone (03) 9285 7197 Fax (02) 6293 7664 Email [email protected] FEDERAL REDISTRIBUTION 2020-21: VICTORIA OBJECTIONS to the PROPOSAL of the VICTORIAN REDISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE From CHARLES RICHARDSON I am grateful for the opportunity to make objections to the proposal for the redistribution of federal electoral boundaries in Victoria, as released by the Redistribution Committee on 19 March 2021. I commend the Committee on its work, which does an excellent job of satisfying the statutory criteria without causing unnecessary disruption to existing boundaries. There are, however, a number of places where I believe its work could be improved upon, which I outline below. It is reasonable to assume that the Augmented Electoral Commission will try to avoid any large-scale overhaul of the Committee's work, so none of my objections involve rethinking the proposed boundaries from scratch. (Number 16, relating to the Maroondah Highway corridor, is the closest thing to an exception to this rule.) That said, I am disappointed that the Committee has again chosen not to try to resolve the unsatisfactory state of McEwen, whose lack of any coherent geographical principle reduces the quality of representation provided for its residents. I would fully support the Commission if it were to revisit that decision. It is also my view that those making objections should confine themselves to cases where they have something better to suggest, and should not point to problems if they are unable to, even vaguely, offer solutions. As an example, I must point out the unseemly nature of the Committee's proposed eastward extension of Isaacs, into the triangle formed by Thompson Road, the Western Port Highway and the Cranbourne railway.

  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.

The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.
