The Committees ' were.established throughout Victoria, being adm.inistered by I a Central Planning. Authority, although neither the. possessed 111 Conmittees nor the Central Planning ·Authority ·.; statutory powers. By the middle of the 196o•s, however, the need for. I . statutory backing for regional planning had become app.arent. Following ~ request by the then Minister for Local I Goverhment, the Hon. ~.J. Ha~er, the Town and Country Planning.Board in July 1967 published a Report "Organisation '. I for Strat~gic Planning" which sug,gested th~ need to develop : ' strategic planning arrangements at .the regional .level ... · .-·: I throughout Victoria. .. Largely on the basis ·of the recommendations contained in the I Board's Report, the Town and Country Planning Act 19.61, was. amended in 1968 to incorporate provision for strategic I pla~nin~ inc]uding the establish~ent of Regi6riai ~lanning Authoritiei. The most urgent need for ·regional planning I at that time was i~ the Port Phillip District. With th~ Melbourne and M.etropol itan Board of Works providing the I statutory Regional Planning Authority for Melbou~ne, the I I " I - 2 - .I I fir$t new Authorities set up under the Act. were for Western I Port and Ge~long. Increasingly, in recent years, the State Govern~ent's I attention has been drawn to the need to provide for co-ordinated planning at the regional level in the non­ I metropol itan areas of Victoria. In these areas, although growth may be small~ there are considerable problems and pressures on the. use of land and.other resources. I In 1973, a.new system of regions was established as the. I basis for ~he organisation 6f gbvernment activities and to facilitate co-operation between government departments and I local councils in undertaking their·activities (see Figure i). These regions are also intended to be us~d as.the framework for the establishment of Regional Planning I! Auth6rities in country Victoria. The first such Regional Planning· Authority was established in the Loddon-Campaspe I Region in 1973~ Subsequently, a Regionai Planhing Committee was established in the East Gippsland> Region. I To facilitate th·~ development of effective regional planning throughout Vi.ctoria, the Town and Country Pl anhihg Board has· I embarked on a· s~ries of regional planni.ng stud_i.es in the 0 no;;.;.lnE?'tr.opolit~n regions. .in. the State .. The o~erall aims of I this progressive programme of studies are as follo\."'s:- p) to determine the role of each region in the State; I qi) to provide the basis for the preparation of regional I ·policies and plans; (fii) to.provide the basis fdr adv~sing Governrn~ht I authorities on the appropriate policies to be app~ied .· . in each region; and I I I - -.- -· ------------,,- ., -· - .- .-"I I REGIONAL BOUNDARIES FOR GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES NORTHERN MALLEE SCALE 0 50 100 kilometres N ' .

I The first two such studies (for the Loddon-Campaspe and Central Highlands Region) have recently been completed and the programme is continuing with similar .studies of the 11I Central and East Gippsland Regions. I PLANNING IN THE CENTRAL GIPPSLAND REGtON I The Ceritral Gippsland Region contains ·num~rdus resources which are of critical significance to the future of I Victoria, including large brown coa1 ·deposit~, ext~nsive forest areas, several maior rivers and rich agric~ltural I 1ands. Numerous State Bovernment departments and instrumentalities··· I are engaged in· major activities relating .to the future planning and-development of the regions, including the State I Electricity Commission, the Forests Commission, the Melbourne and· Metropolitan Board of Works~ and the Ministries· bf A~riculture, S~ai~ De~elopme~i, tonserv~tion, Minesi and · I Fuel and Power. The involvement of these bodies includes not ·only ~nvesti~ations into various aspects of the R~~ion's I resources, and the potent i a1 . ro 1 e of those . resour.ces in increasi~g the social and economic opportunities available I both to res{dents of the Region itselt and to Victorians as a whole, but also the programming and implementation of I severa 1. 1a rge deve 1opment works (e.g. Thomson River barn, Loy Yang power station) which will. have a maj.or impac·t on the future physical, economic and social character of the I Region. I I l I - 4 - .I' I In June 1975, the Victorian Government formally recognized I the importance of the resources of the Central Gippsland Region to the future of Victoria by its ad6ptibn of .. Statement of Planning Policy No. 9 (Central Gippsland.Brown I Coal Deposits in the Cont~xt of Overall Re~6urces). I Several State Government Committees are currently u·ndertaki ng investigations and/or developing programmes relating to the further utilisation and development of the Region's· resources. •1 Examples of such committees are the Brown Coal Resources I Inter-Departmental Committee established to def.irie areas of economically winnable brown coal and to make recommendations I on ~uitable means of prot~cting them pursuant to Clause.2~1 of ·statement of Planning Policy No. 9, the.Thomson River Water Resources Joint Committee and the Latrobe Valley I I Co-ordinating Committee. I There is a ne~d, however, to bring together arid rationalise all progr·ammes or activity relating, to planning in the I Central Gipps.land Region and tO" relate those programines to. a set of agree·d planning objectives" for the ·Region as a . whole .. In. recogniti.on of this fact the Victorian I Government .is cµrrentlY. actively cons.idering the.· nature. of. I the. institutional. ·framework. for planning in the Central Gippsland Region. which wo.uld facilitate mos't effectively the deve.lOpment ·and implementation of effective .. policies, I plans and programmes for the future of the Region. I AN INITIAL OVERVIEW . Al though the aims of the Board 1 s prog_ramme of t-egional. I . studies in eath of the Stat~·s Regions are similar, the Board is anxious to.ensure that the programme of studies I I I I 1. - 5 I I undertaken in any single region is tailored to the specific requirements and circumstances of that region. I The regional studies programme which the Town and Country Planning Board proposes to undertake in the Central I Gippsland Regioh. during 1976/77, therefore, will be designed to act as an important instrument towards the effective 1,I planning and co-ordination of private and public sector activitie~ in C~ntral Gippsl~nd.

  • Friends of Latrobe Water
    26th August 2020 National Water Reform 2020 Productivity Commission Lodgement online at [email protected] Dear Commissioners RE: National Water Reform Inquiry - Submission from Friends of Latrobe Water Friends of Latrobe Water (FLoW) welcomes this opportunity to provide input to the Productivity Commission to assist with its review of National Water Reform. FLoW advocates for the protection of Latrobe Valley’s water sources and safeguarding the protection of the Gippsland Lakes from industry activities, including coal mine rehabilitation and coal ash contamination. Threats include – • Declining water flows • Changes in flows • Overallocation of water sources • Priority sharing of water resources In consideration of the Commission’s 2017 recommendations that jurisdictions recommit to a renewed NWI, FLoW has concerns with, • policy settings for alternative water sources in entitlement and planning frameworks • other policy settings relating to: – urban water management – environmental water management – decision-making on building and supporting new infrastructure. In context to the regional area of Gippsland in Victoria, alignment of water policy on a statewide basis is challenging due to the dominance and current governance of mining in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland’s central west. This has resulted in substantial impacts to water flow, quality and chemistry to all other beneficial users downstream including environmental water health. In responding to the Issues Paper on the scope of this inquiry FLoW will also address, • emerging challenges faced by Governments, water providers and water users, such as climate change or changes in economic circumstances • the interaction of water policy with other areas (such as land use planning and urban development) • the impacts of climate change on water resources • the provision of reliable water services to regional and remote communities • the principles to be satisfied for any Government investment in major water infrastructure.

  • 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.
