  • 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park
    Council Agenda 26/11/18 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park Abstract This report provides an update on the North East Link Authority (NELA) Bulleen Park land use planning project. It seeks Council support for an initial concept design for the Bulleen Park land use plan which incorporates the Boroondara Tennis Centre (BTC) and the 18-hole Freeway Golf Course (FGC). See Attachment 1 for an aerial image showing the project study area. NELA has initiated the study for the Bulleen Park area and has included the BTC and FGC in the project scope. Officers understand the aim of the project is to ensure no sporting club or facility is worse off as a result of the construction and operation of the North East Link (NEL). NELA has advised it intends to finalise the project by early 2019 for inclusion as an appendix in the NEL Environment Effects Statement (EES). NELA has conducted initial consultation about the project, with a workshop held at the Veneto Club on 8 August 2018. The workshop was attended by sporting clubs impacted by the NEL and Council representatives from Boroondara and Manningham. Officers understand NELA staff have also been meeting with sporting clubs and facility operators on an individual basis to discuss the project. Within a limited timeframe, Boroondara officers have prepared high-level concept plans for the FGC and BTC to be considered in the Bulleen Park land use planning study (Attachments 2 and 3). The plans respond to the impact of the NEL on several holes of the FGC by relocating the BTC to the same location and extending the FGC to land north of the current course edge located in Manningham.

  • A Tale of Steady Progress Towards a Sustainable Learning Community Leone Wheeler Diane Tabbagh
    Australian Journal of Adult Learning Volume 60, Number 3, November 2020 Wyndham City: A tale of steady progress towards a sustainable learning community Leone Wheeler Diane Tabbagh The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of a learning community/city approach within Wyndham City, Victoria, Australia. The journey commences with a discussion of the demographic and economic context in which Wyndham has established its Learning Community Strategies. The development of Wyndham’s Learning Community is placed in the context of a history of other learning community/city approaches within greater Melbourne, Australia and internationally. This history includes learning community and learning city frameworks such as the Australian Learning Community Framework and UNESCO’s Key Features of Learning Cities, which have influenced Wyndham’s Learning Community Strategies. Further, an in-depth examination of the journey of Wyndham City Council in developing successive Learning Community Strategies identifies critical incidents that have led to steady progress towards a sustainable learning community. Also, the development and evaluation of the Wyndham Learning Community are examined, including some vignettes of successful case studies. In conclusion, the implications for adult education and theory, including avoiding the use of the label ‘learning city’ as a marketing tool rather than a ‘social process of participation and negotiation’ is examined with pointers given for further research. Wyndham City: A tale of steady progress towards a sustainable learning community 409 Keywords: learning city, learning community, learning partnerships, lifelong learning, community development, Wyndham City Council. Introduction Stakeholders credited the Wyndham Learning Community Strategy 2014-2017 as key to building the foundations for strong partnerships and collaborations on which to promote lifelong and life-wide learning across Wyndham’s increasingly diverse community (O’Connor, Wong, Scrase, 2018).

  • 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.
