  • North East Football-The Early Years 1885 to 1945
    North East Football-The Early Years 1885 to 1945. Back in the 1860s football was played around the North East in unofficial games way before any organized competition began. Around 1885 Tallangatta (the red caps), Mitta Mitta (Snowy’s) and Allan’s Flat fielded teams but there was no official League or draw set up in those days. Tallangatta was often referred to as Mitta Valley with red, white and blue as their team colours and the Allans Flat team were judged by their size and weight. In their first game that year Allan’s Flat was soundly defeated by a more streamlined and fitter Tallangatta combination played at Tallangatta. The games were organized weeks before so the clubs could train and organize the teams and transport. Travel was a major factor in those days with horse drawn drags, coaches, horseback or walking the common mode of travel until the arrival of rail. The drags held about 20 people with the majority of the team and supporters meeting at the pub Saturday morning and heading off about 7am arriving about midday. A lot of the time the teams struggled for numbers but generally the games went ahead anyway with players borrowed from the opposition. After the game the home team would host a function with the club President toasting his counterpart in a gentlemanly fashion and being returned the compliment. The visitors would return home that night or the next morning. Tallangatta Football Team were undefeated in 1885. A meeting of the Tallangatta Football Club was held at the Court House Thursday Evening May 27th1886.

  • 21.04-4 SETTLEMENT Urban Areas Overview in 1996 The
    LOCAL PROVISION TOWONG PLANNING SCHEME TOWONG PLANNING SCHEME, AMENDMENT C5 21.04-4 SETTLEMENT Urban areas overview In 1996 the Towong Shire had an estimated population of 6,622, with 44.3% of the population living in the five main towns of Corryong, Tallangatta, Bellbridge, Walwa and Eskdale. Other small village areas are Bethanga, Cudgewa, Dartmouth, Granya, Koetong, Mitta Mitta, Old Tallangatta, Tintaldra and Towong. Only Corryong, Tallangatta, Bellbridge and Dartmouth have both reticulated water and sewerage infrastructure. The large land area of the Shire and a small population make it difficult to supply all towns and villages with community services and facilities. It is fortunate that the major towns of Corryong (population of 1215) and Tallangatta (population of 952) are located at each end of the Shire so that most areas can be readily serviced from these locations. Corryong and Tallangatta have an excellent range of facilities. The future of these facilities needs to be assured by focusing growth into these areas. Improvement of transport linkages and accessibility of these facilities to other villages and rural communities need to be developed as the ability to fund and build facilities in smaller settlements will be difficult. Existing urban zones within the Shire provide enough residential land in order to accommodate the future population growth of 242 people over the next 15 years. Given that demand for land is low, almost all towns have in excess of 10 years supply of residential land. At present, there is no need for the rezoning of further land for urban development. The existing townships of Corryong and Tallangatta can provide a variety of lot sizes to accommodate an ageing demographic profile.
