HOUSING COMMISSION, VICTORIA REPORT No. 20 To The Hon. H. R. Petty, M.LiL, Mittister of Housing, Melbourne, C.2. SIR, In compliance with the prov1s1ons of the Housing Acts, the Housing Commission submits this report of its activities together with financial statements for the year ended 30th June, 1958. INTRODUCTION The Commission has pleasure in reporting another year of considerable progress, especially note-worthy because total expenditure to date by the Commission has now passed the hundred million pounds mark. Highlights of operations during the 1957-58 year are:- New Construction During the year 2,414 new housing units were constructed, and of that number, 220 were allocated to the Armed Services in accordance with the terms of the Common­ wealth State Housing Agreement. The number of 2,194 units available for eligible families compared with 2,338 in the previous year, and is the lowest figure of completion since 1949-50. Restriction of funds available to the Commission is the sole cause of the decline in new construction. At 30th June, 1958, the Commission held 13,349 live applications for tenancies. The significance of that total will be apparent when it is noted that the Commission was able to house only 4,377 new tenants in 1957-58, on the basis of 1,803 in new construction and 2,574 in vacated units. Unless the programme of new construction can be expanded, the total number of applications on hand will progressively increase. Slum Reclamation This activity, accepted as a social necessity, was greatly expanded during the year by the expenditure on slum clearance of £53 6,3 59: a sum much greater than the total expended on similar works since the inception of the Commission. For economic reasons, it has been incumbent on the Commission to utilise multi-storied construction, concerning which extensive investigational work is currently being undertaken. It will be appreciated that the dis-possessing of families under any circumstances is regrettable; but the Commission regards itself as fortunate in having a number of officers who are experienced in sympathetic handling of the human problems associated with slum reclamation. House Sales Although applications to purchase show a slight increase, the number of houses sold 1,597 showed a decrease on the previous year's total of 1,798. To correct this trend, Estate Agents were commissioned in the country, and initial results are satisfactory. Commis­ sion also has under consideration further revisions of policy, with a view to increasing sales which number 4,673 to date. ,7 New Materials The Commission policy is the constant search for improved techniques and the use of new materials to produce a better dwelling unit at lower cost. The Commission has now standardised on the use of aluminium window frames on all units and copper spouting and down pipes for flats. A new material used for the first time in Victoria has been introduced by the Commission for domestic construction. This is a light weight concrete, and a prototype house is currently being constructed. Estate Development To meet requirements of the Armed Services under the Commonwealth State Housing Agreement, the establishment of an Estate was commenced at Laverton, adjacent to the Airforce Station. In this instance, the Commission's planning organisation was faced with a difficult task. Land was not made available until 15/11/57, it was devoid of services, and extensive rock was known to exist throughout the area. The Estate was fully designed, surveyed and developed, with roads, drains and sewers to meet the needs of 78 houses which were completed, the whole within a period of seven months. The Commission has continued with its policy of maintaining a balanced develop­ ment within its Estates. At Broadmeadows particularly, industry has been encouraged, firstly by making an area available to a large Motor Company and two additional areas, north of the spur railway and north of Barry Road, have been set aside for industry. Accommodation for Elderly Persons This is an activity in which the Commission feels a very special interest. The Commission has been assisted by the co-operation of the following municipalities, which have offered suitable land free of cost in order to enable the units to be tenanted on low rental charges: Ballarat - Brunswick Chelsea - Coburg - Collingwood - Corio Drouin - Footscray- Hamilton- Kew- Melbourne - Northcote Port Melbourne - Ringwood - Sale - Sunshine \'V arragul - Williamstown. The Commission continued with the provision of units for elderly couples, 176 being built for the year. It has also recognised the need of elderly women living alone by the construction of a block of 21 flats at Kensington. Finance This financial year is the second during which the Commission has operated under the new Commonwealth State Housing Agreement on a reduced allocation of £8,000,000. This allocation will be further reduced to £7,200,000 for the ensuing year. An additional 5 per cent. is being made available for the hm1sing of personnel of the Armed Services. Additional finance is required to meet the constant demands being made on the Commission to provide accommodation. The following pages cover in greater detail the sectional activities and statistics. 8 PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION Lmd Acquired for General Housing The only land purchased in the Metropolitan area consisted of three lots in Macleod. They were offered to the Commission which already owned other land in the vicinity. Negotiated purchases m the country were as follows:- Creswick 28 lots Laverton - 119f acres (now in Metropolitan area) Stawell - 2 lots Stratford 1 acre .Tallangatta 9 lots (including one lot with house purchased with State funds) T erang - 5! acres In addition negotiations for purchase of land in the following towns are now pro­ ceeding: Cobden Corryong Horsham- Lang Lang - Leitchville - Mornington Pakenham - Rochester Sale Wycheproof. The 1191 acres at Laverton was acquired to provide for the housing of servicemen as required by the Commonwealth/State Housing Agreement. The Agreement specifies that this provision should be made within normal housing estates and to this end an estate is being established adjacent to the Air Force Base at Laverton for both service personnel and civilians. Land Acquired for Slum Reclamation During the year a total area of approximately 18 acres was acquired in the various reclamation areas proclaimed to date. Sale of Vacant Land During the year Act No. 6090 was proclaimed. This Act provides that the Com­ mission may sell vacant land to any person for the purpose of erecting a house thereon for his own occupation subject to neither he nor his spouse owning a house or land suitable to his needs, and that the financial arrangements he has made to erect the house have been approved by the Registrar of Co-operative Housing Societies. All Contracts of Sale under this Act are void if the erection of the house is not commenced within eighteen months of the date of the contract. The Commission is not required to execute a transfer of the land until the erection of the house has been commenced, and the purchaser shall not, without the consent of the Commission, sell or assign his interest in the property until he has occupied the house for at least five years. To the 30th June, 1958, only 3 lots had been sold. Sale o£ Industrial Land During the year further sales of land in odd lots at East Preston zoned for industrial purposes amounting in all to 15 acres were effected. In the previous year an area of 400 acres at Broadmeadows was sold to Ford Motor Company of Australia Pty. Ltd., and it is gratifying to note that large-scale building has already commenced on the site. An important avenue of employment for tenants of Commission houses will thus be provided. This could be the forerunner of other large industrial enterprises in the area. 9 SITE ENGINE£~ING With the recruitment of professional and technical staff, the Commission's En­ gineering Branch has been able to undertake detailed design and supervision of construction of roads, drains and other site works on a number of Metropolitan and Provincial Estates.

  • 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.

The Challenge Moreland City Council identified a single point of failure within the Payroll and Finance departments. Printing Cheques and Payslips, two of the Council’s more important printing requirements, was totally dependent on the software installed on one printing device. “We needed to remove our dependence on the physical print device and implement a more robust, configurable and scalable backend solution that provided greater benefits and reduced risk to Council,” stated Bernard Hoehmann, Moreland City Council’s IT Project Manager. +61 1300 378 836 (Australia) | +44 203 355 1237 (UK) +1 213 291 0523 (USA) | +63 2 817 4901 (Philippines) [email protected] | www.redmap.com 1 smartOutput - Moreland City Council Case Study The Solution “Redmap provided Council with greater control over our Moreland City Council chose to implement Redmap cheque and payslip printing based on cost, vendor experience and the software’s fit requirements.

First and foremost, this inquiry is an extension of the Victorian Parliament, so it is very important that we recognise that there are practices and procedures and an essential decorum that needs to be maintained. Any commentary from the public gallery, whether or not that commentary was included or considered in any way, would be subject to the deliberations of the committee, and the hearing would be suspended while those operations were under way. For those who are actually providing input today, there are acts of Parliament that provide parliamentary privilege to people who provide information to us. That is only while this hearing is actually configured in this setting, on this day and in this time. Any comments pertaining to any other information that are expressed outside the domain of this committee and its hearing would not be extended that parliamentary privilege. The material and the input is being recorded by the Hansard service of Parliament.

  • Community Facilities and Social Value
    Bringing in the Public: Community Facilities and Social Value Ian McShane Submitted in total fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology 2008 i Abstract This thesis examines the social value of local government community facilities, and its optimisation in policy and strategic management. The thesis focuses on the local government sector in Victoria, Australia, with the City of Moonee Valley, an inner-Melbourne municipality serving as a case study. The central argument of the thesis is that, despite statutory requirements for Victorian local authorities to balance financial, environmental and social goals in decision-making, a policy emphasis on economic efficiency and local authority discipline dominates recent planning and management frameworks of community facilities. The policy shows limited understanding of the concept of social value, understood as non-economic value, worth or significance, or ways that it can be evaluated and operationalised. The policy provides limited defence of the long- term social outcomes of facilities, such as well-being, social cohesion and civic engagement, in the face of aggressive local government asset and financial management. The thesis uses historical and sociological methods to gather evidence and frame arguments for a re-balancing of the policy setting in which community facilities are funded and managed. The thesis locates current local infrastructure policy within the reforming project of new public management to contextualise its reliance on the concept of service. Three community facilities – a municipal swimming pool, a community arts complex, and public open space – are examined to identify the rationales for their provision, and the complex policy interventions that shape their history.

A timber school building was constructed on the site in 1908, [1] replacing a local church hall which had been used for classes since 1891. [2] In 1927, the red brick school building was erected. The rotunda, not erected in 1908 [3] but evident in an aerial photograph taken in 1931 [4], was probably also erected at around this time. Glenroy Primary School No. 3118 21-Sep-2010 03:15 PM Hermes No 61692 Place Citation Report Page 1 HERITAGE CITATION REPORT Landscaping was also undertaken by this time as a number of the trees extant today are indicated in this 1931 image. [5] An aerial photograph taken of the same area twenty years later (1951) shows a greater number of trees lining the Acacia Street boundary fence-line, and increased canopy spread of those from the 1931 photograph is also evident. [6] The site, especially along Acacia Street, contains some remnant trees, possibly dating back to the school's inception. Notable are two sugar gums (Eucalyptus cladocalyx) and peppercorn trees (Schinus molle var. areira). The sugar gums, native to a small area in South Australia, were a popular planting in school grounds from the early 1900s, and may have been supplied to the school by the Education Department for planting as part of the celebration of an early Arbor Day.
