  • 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.

  • Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: an Artefact-Led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia
    Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: An Artefact-led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia Katherine Hepworth Doctor of Philosophy 2012 ii iii Abstract Government emblems are a rich source of historical information. This thesis examines the evidence of past governance discourses embodied in government emblems. Embodied discourses are found within an archive of 282 emblems used by local governments in Victoria, Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They form the basis of a history of governance in the State of Victoria from first British exploration in 1803 to the present day. This history of governance was written to test the main contribution of this thesis: a new graphic design history method called discursive method. This new method facilitates collecting an archive of artefacts, identifying discourses embodied within those artefacts, and forming a historical narrative of broader societal discourses and ideologies surrounding their use. A strength of discursive method, relative to other design history methods, is that it allows the historian to seriously investigate how artefacts relate to the power networks in which they are enmeshed. Discursive method can theoretically be applied to any artefacts, although government emblems were chosen for this study precisely because they are difficult to study, and rarely studied, within existing methodological frameworks. This thesis demonstrates that even the least glamorous of graphic design history artefacts can be the source of compelling historical narratives. iv Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been written without the support of many people. Fellow students, other friends and extended family have helped in many small ways for which I am so grateful.

  • The Moe City Story
    THE MOE CITY STORY March 6th 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the City of Moe. It also marks the 135th year since the township of Moe was surveyed by Lardner and the first blocks of land sold. This article relates details of the lead up to the declaration of Moe as a city and the events of the day itself. Moe became a Borough in 1955 as the result of a vote by the Moe Newborough rate payers. John Adams explained the path to Borough status in ‘So Tall the Trees’. In 1952 the Shire of Narracan was considering a substantial loan to carry out works in the Moe area. There was opposition to the loan from Councilors in other ridings as they believed the whole Shire should benefit from the loan. The loan was finally approved but the problem of meeting the needs of the rapidly growing township of Moe, by then the largest urban centre in the Shire, didn’t go away. As Hec Stoddart pointed out, the Moe Newborough area was providing more than half the rate income of the Shire. However, the Shire was not prepared to discuss the idea of separation to create a Borough at that stage. But in 1952 the Progress Associations in Moe and Newborough organised to put up candidates in favour of a Borough at the next election. Although not all candidates were successful, the new Council agreed to a petition by the ratepayers of Moe and Newborough in November 1953 to call for a referendum and this went to the Minister in March 1954.
