FOREWORD 1.1 In June 1984 The City of Williamstown applied to. the then Planning I Authority, The Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of WOrks, for the rezoning of an area of land bounded by Maddox Road in the west,the Railway on the north, Florence street on the east and Kororoit Creek Road on the south - I ("The Williamstown village Site") • 1.2 All necessary services were found to be available and there was general I agreement on the need for residential land in Williamstown. I 1.3 The Environmental Protection Authority was not satisfied in relation the possible intrusion of odour and/or noise. I NO decision has at this time been made in relation to the City of I Williamstown's application. 1.4 For many years Williamstown has sought the appropriation of an area long I occupied by the Merrit Rifle Range for residential purposes. The Commonwealth Government decision to sell the Range for housing and the subsequent report by the Williamstown Rifle Range working Group recommending residential development on the Range bring into focus the I question of the appropriate usage of the wiliiamstown Village Site. I 1.5 The bulk of the Village Site abuts residential development but is itself zoned general and partly light industrial and the development of the village Site is therefore critical to future residents on the Merrit Rifle I Range area as well as to the residential area abutting. ' . 1.6 The demand for industrial land within the City of Williamstwn is weak. I There is a considerable excess of available industrial land over any present or anticipated future requirement. The Maddox Road Industrial I .Estate is barely 25% occupied. 1.7 The City of Williamstown believes that it is appropriate now to resolve the question of future usage of the Williamstown village Estate and in I particular to plan for integrated overall development of the area I comprising the village Site and the Rifie Range. 1..8 This report reviews much of the work and research that has taken place in relation to the two areas and concludes 'that in the interests of the City I and all of its res~dents a modified proposal for an Amendment of present zoning of the village Site (Appendix I) should be exhibited. I 1.9 This report includes and is cross referenced with a report by the City of Williamstown sub-committee relating to the Williamstown Village Site. I 1.10 The City of Williamstwn accordingly seeks the consent of the Minister of Planning to such exhibition. I I I - 5 - , I c '-,iUlLAMARIN .l ____~IRPORT I I -t I ,,I I -"'\ '"'\ ...........

The Eastern Market Gates (Former), originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Eastern Market complex in the City of Melbourne and relocated to the Altona Memorial Park in 1968, at Dohertys Road, Altona North. How is it Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former) are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, they are significant as perhaps the only publicly surviving remnant of the famous Eastern Market of Melbourne. They are also of interest for their associations with the notable architectural firm of Reed & Barnes. (AHC criterion B2) Aesthetically, they are significant as fine examples of their style and type and provide an appropriate formal note to the entrance to the Memorial Gardens.

Although the Trust took out an option on this land in 1947, the new Cemetery did not open until 1961.

    Heritage Precinct Name James Street Heritage Precinct Address James Street (part), Williamstown Heritage Overlay No. HO17 Related Precinct(s) Private Survey Heritage Precinct Significance Local Style & Type Heritage precinct Significant Dates c.1855-1900 Designer Not applicable Builder Not applicable Statement of Significance What is Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct, which comprises all land in HO17 and generally includes properties with a frontage to James Street, Williamstown. How is it Significant? The James Street Heritage Precinct is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobson’s Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, James Street was one of the first private residential subdivisions in the area to the north of Ferguson Street and includes some of the oldest houses in this area at No. 11 and 22. Many of the houses were associated with the maritime industry in Williamstown. It is therefore important for its ability to illustrate an important phase in the early development of the Private Survey residential area when Williamstown was the main port of Melbourne. (AHC criteria A4 and D2) Aesthetically, it is significant for its distinctive and consistent nineteenth century residential character, which derives from the presence of a number of architecturally significant and contributory houses which encompass a wide range of domestic architectural styles from the mid to late Victorian period. The historic setting of the dwellings is enhanced by remnant early street detailing including the basalt kerb and channels. (AHC criterion E1) On this basis, the following properties and other elements contribute to the significance of the precinct: . James Street (odd) 1-11, 15-19 (inclusive) (even) 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20 and 22.

  • 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.
