The shire is located in the heart of one of the richest and most diverse agriculture and food processing areas in Victoria. Its climate, history, cultural heritage, natural We are becoming older assets and location in relation to major urban centres and younger provide the shire with extensive opportunities. The Compared to regional Victoria shire encompasses a total land area of over 4,500 we have a higher population of square kilometres. both younger people and older people The shire has an estimated residential population of 37,600 people. We have lower levels of education 39.9% of residents hold a qualification of some sort compared to 45% for regional Victoria We mainly work in Manufacturing, Agriculture, Health care, and Tourism We have a sizeable Aboriginal population 2.4% of residents are Aboriginal, compared to the state average of 0.8% On average, we earn less In 2016 the median weekly income was only $1,081, compared to $1,124 for regional Victoria and $1,431 for Australia as a whole Page 4 | Annual Report 2018 - 19 Introduction Our advantages History • Strong transport links to Bendigo and Melbourne Campaspe Shire Council was established in 1994 • Located centrally to key agricultural regions: through an amalgamation of the City of Echuca, the Goulburn Valley, Riverina and Mallee Town of Kyabram, Shire of Rochester, Shire of Waranga and Shire of Deakin. • Strong and diversified economy • Warm climate and access to irrigation The shire is named after the Campaspe River, which was named by Major Mitchell in 1836. Legend claims • Relatively high employment levels that Campaspe was Alexander the Great’s concubine. • Access to primary health care and quality primary/secondary education • High rates of community participation and volunteering • Regional tourism hub Our challenges • Key towns growing, versus population decline in smaller communities • Water security for the agricultural sector • High costs of inputs for industry • An ageing population • Substance abuse • Availability of higher education and training • Cross-border administration These challenges are not unique to Campaspe and are faced by many other rural communities. Council is also very mindful of financial constraints – including reduced funding from other levels of government, and capped rates. This will require Council to maintain its focus on identifying operational efficiencies. Responsible decision making will be critical and a set of financial principles has been developed to guide Council’s decision making.

  • 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”.
