Response of the Victorian Government to the IDC Report On Response of the Victorian Government to the IDC Report on Governance of Melbourne Docklands The Government’s Response to the Report of the Docklands and Adjacent Areas Interdepartmental Committee Having received and given careful consideration to the report of the Interdepartmental Committee (IDC) it commissioned to provide advice on options for the long term governance of the Docklands and adjacent areas, the Government’s responses to the recommendations made by the IDC are: IDC Recommendation One The IDC recommended that the Docklands area and municipal functions, with the exception of statutory planning, be restored to the City of Melbourne. The Government’s Response – the recommendation is accepted, with the timing of the restoration of the municipal governance of the Docklands area to the City of Melbourne to occur prior to the Melbourne City Council municipal elections in November 2008. IDC Recommendation Two The IDC recommended that there be no boundary changes between the City of Melbourne and the Cities of Port Phillip and Maribyrnong. The Government’s Response – the recommendation is accepted. IDC Recommendation Three The IDC recommended that mechanisms be established between the State, the City of Melbourne, the City of Port Phillip and the City of Maribyrnong for the integrated planning and management of Fishermens Bend industrial precinct and the current docks, rail and market precinct. The Government’s Response – the recommendation is accepted. IDC Recommendation Four The IDC recommended that, until the State is satisfied that its interests in the Docklands area are secure, the current planning arrangements with the Minister for Planning as the Responsible Authority and the Docklands Authority, now VicUrban, as the Referral Authority, be retained until a time to be determined. The Government’s Response – the recommendation is accepted. IDC Recommendation Five The IDC recommended that a coordinating body consisting of the State Government, Parks Victoria, the City of Melbourne and the Docklands Authority, now VicUrban, be established to oversee the planning and management of the Docklands waterways and waterfront. The Government’s Response – the recommendation is accepted. IDC Recommendation Six The IDC recommended that it be retained to oversee the implementation of the Government’s decisions on the governance of the Docklands and adjacent areas. The Government’s Response - the recommendation is accepted. In addition, the Government will require the IDC to prepare advice on the option of extending the responsibilities of the new place management coordinating body (see Recommendation 5) to management of the waterways and waterfront, from the Bolte Bridge to the Punt Road Bridge..

  • Reform of the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services Program
    Mental Health Community Support Services June 2014 Fact Sheet 2: Information for Existing Clients Fact Sheet: Information for Existing Clients This fact sheet provides information for current clients of mental health community support services provided under the Victorian Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services (PDRSS) program. It includes information about the changes that will happen to these services over the next few months, when these changes will occur and how the changes might affect you. As part of these changes the Victorian Government will also change the name of the PDRSS program to Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) program from August 2014. This change is about supporting you. The changes will ensure access to mental health community support services is fair and equitable by ensuring people most disabled by their mental health condition do not miss out on the support they need. The reforms will make it easier for new and returning consumers and carers to get help no matter where they live. This will be achieved by establishing a centralised intake point for all referrals in each local area. A fact sheet explaining how the new intake assessment system will work will be made available shortly. We also know you want services to be of a consistent quality and designed around your individual needs and preferences. This is why we are introducing Individualised Client Support Packages. They will replace standard, moderate and intensive Home Based Outreach Services, Day Programs, Care Coordination, Aged Intensive Program and Special Client Packages from 1 August 2014. Your support package will help you to develop the life skills needed to live well in the community and to manage your mental illness.

  • DRAFT Bicycle Strategy 2019 – 2029 SUMMARY
    Maribyrnong City Council DRAFT Bicycle Strategy 2019 – 2029 SUMMARY Our vision for bicycle transport This Strategy imagines a future where Maribyrnong residents regularly use bicycles as a safe means of transport, especially to access schools, shops, train stations and community facilities. We aim to make this true for all ages, genders and abilities in the Maribyrnong locality, and have defined a ‘symbolic rider’ to assist us in determining appropriate strategies to achieve this vision. For more information, see ‘The symbolic rider – supporting bicycle riding for all’ on page 6. Council is investing in ongoing transformation of the City of Maribyrnong’s roads and public places to achieve the following outcomes: • safe and improved conditions for bicycle riding, including routes and areas separated from vehicles. • safer vehicle speeds. • fewer vehicles on the roads. Council will formulate targets based on these outcomes one year into the Strategy when meaningful data has been collected. Providing healthier, cheaper and more convenient transport options benefits current and potential bicycle riders, as well as pedestrians, public transport users and those who don’t use cars. It also provides improved conditions in public spaces around our retail, commercial and community centres. 2 Maribyrnong City Council Draft Bicycle Strategy 2019 – 2029 3 Background Maribyrnong City Council’s Bicycle Strategy 2019–2029 aims to achieve the ambitions of the Towards an improved and Maribyrnong Integrated Transport Strategy 2011: integrated transport system We can alleviate the challenges of the current Maribyrnong will be a city where it is transport system under stress by increasing the possible for people to walk and cycle adoption of cycling.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
