City of Greater Geelong Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM PART I-PRELIMINARY Clause 1 states the purposes of the Act, which are to restructure certain councils in the Geelong region, constitute the City of Greater Geelong and abolish the Geelong Regional Commission. The Greater Geelong City Council will replace six existing councils and its municipal district will incorporate part of the district of the Shire of Bannockbum and part of the district of the Barrabool Shire Council. The Councils which will be replaced by the Greater Geelong City Council are Bellarine Rural City Council, City of Geelong, City of Geelong West, City of Newtown, City of South Barwon and Shire of Corio. Clause 2 states that with the exception of section 24, the Act comes into operation on the day it receives Royal Assent. Clause 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Act. Most of the new arrangements are to take effect on the "appointed day" which is defined to be the day on which the Bill receives Royal Assent. Clause 4 states that the Act must be construed as one with the Local Government Act 1989 but that in the case of any inconsistency this Act prevails. PART 2-CITY OF GREATER GEELONG Clause 5 provides for the constitution of a City Council by the name of the Greater Geelong City Council, for the councils to be replaced to go out of existence and for Commissioners to administer the new Council as if they were the elected Councillors of the Council.

  • Irish in Australia
    THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land.
