'Hard to Reach' Concepts and Practice in Victorian Local Government Community Consultation and the ‘Hard to Reach’ Concepts and Practice in Victorian Local Government Nicola Brackertz, Ivan Zwart, Denise Meredyth and Liss Ralston APPENDIX Appendix: Demographic profiles Note: The Melbourne Statistical District (MSD) is the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ geographical construct of metropolitan Melbourne. At the time of the 2001 census it consisted of 5,718 collector’s districts, with a population of 3,340,575. The population of each district ranged from 21 to 2,549, with a median of 568. Demographic profile: City of Boroondara The City of Boroondara covers an area of 60 square kilometres and is located five kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD. It is made up of the suburbs of Ashburton, Balwyn, North Balwyn, Camberwell, Canterbury, Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Kew, Kew East and parts of Glen Iris, Mont Albert and Surrey Hills and has a population exceeding 140,000. Being so close to the CBD and also to the geographical centre of the metropolitan region, it is a pivotal point in Melbourne. The city is an attractive residential, commercial and educational area. 53 SEIFA Index of Advantage/Disadvantage compared to MSD The map shows the SEIFA Index of Advantage/Disadvantage for Boroondara as compared to the Melbourne Statistical District (MSD). There are mainly areas of high advantage (higher deciles) within the city, as shown by the fact that the majority of the collector’s districts are displayed in darker colours. An exception to this is in Ashburton. Areas of higher advantage have a higher proportion of skilled workers, lower unemployment and a higher proportion of households with high incomes compared to the MSD. 54 SEIFA Index of Advantage/Disadvantage by local government area The previous map compared Boroondara to the MSD and showed mostly high levels of advantage, making it difficult to ascertain which areas within Boroondara were more or less advantaged. Above the SEIFA Index of Advantage/Disadvantage is mapped in quintiles comparing values for the city internally. Ashburton, Balwyn North and Kew East have more disadvantage, while Surrey Hills, Kew and Glen Iris have high levels of advantage. 55 SEIFA Index of Disadvantage compared to MSD This map expands on the previous two and shows the SEIFA Index of Disadvantage for Boroondara compared to the MSD. Unlike the Index of Advantage/Disadvantage, this does not offset households in advantage against those who are disadvantaged. Therefore it is a better indicator of disadvantage. Areas with low levels of disadvantage (higher deciles) are quite clearly Kew, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Hawthorn East, Glen Iris and Camberwell. Areas with higher levels of disadvantage (lower deciles) are displayed in lighter colours and are confirmed as being Ashburton and small enclaves in Hawthorn. These have more households with persons on lower incomes who are likely to be unemployed or underemployed and have low skilled jobs, are less likely to own their own homes and are more likely to live in overcrowded housing. 56 SEIFA Index of Disadvantage by local government area This map complements the previous one and shows the SEIFA Index of Disadvantage mapped by quintiles for Boroondara only. Ashburton, parts of Hawthorn and Balwyn North have the highest levels of disadvantage, while Glen Iris, Kew, Canterbury and Surrey Hills are the least disadvantaged. 57 SEIFA Index of Economic Resources compared to MSD This map shows the SEIFA Index of Economic Resources for Boroondara compared to the MSD. The large number of households in the higher deciles indicate that the majority of households have relatively high incomes. Where properties are being purchased, they mostly have high mortgage repayments, while there are few low rental properties. 58 SEIFA Index of Economic Resources by local government area This map shows the SEIFA Index for Economic Resources mapped by quintiles for Boroondara only. Once again, Ashburton, Kew East, Balwyn and pockets of Hawthorn are not as prosperous as areas such as Camberwell, Canterbury and Kew. 59 SEIFA Index of Education and Occupation compared to MSD This map shows the SEIFA Index of Education and Occupation for Boroondara compared to the MSD. Areas in darker colours (higher deciles) indicate households where occupants have higher levels of education or are currently undertaking further education and in higher skilled jobs. Areas in lighter colours (lower deciles) indicate households where occupants have lower levels of education, lower skilled jobs or may be unemployed. 60 SEIFA Index of Education and Occupation by local government area This map shows the SEIFA Index of Education and Occupation by quintiles for Boroondara only. Ashburton, Kew and Balwyn fall in the lowest quintile, indicating households where occupants have lower levels of education, lower skilled jobs or may be unemployed. 61 SEIFA statistics Advantage/ Disadvantage Economic Education and Disadvantage Resources Occupation Boroondara Median 1 177 1 128 1 155 1 185 Minimum 1 025 881 976 1 018 Maximum 1 266 1 185 1 290 1 251 Comparison Boroondara to MSD Median 10 10 10 10 Minimum 5 1 3 5 Maximum 10 10 10 10 MSD Median 1 035 1 039 1 032 10 Minimum 671 257 728 1 Maximum 1 300 1 202 1 317 10 This table shows summary data of the SEIFA Indexes in the previous maps. The first and last set of numbers shows the actual Indexes in real terms. The middle section compares Boroondara to the MSD and illustrates where the Indexes fall in each decile. For example, the Advantage/Disadvantage column shows that Boroondara has values in the Index that fall in the 5th and 10th deciles. The median value of 10 indicates that the spread of values falls to the higher end of the Index’s decile range as compared to the MSD. Overall, the comparison figures displayed in this table confirm the information from the previous maps which show that the majority of Boroondara’s population is weighted towards the advantaged end of the spectrum. 62 Transience Transience (2001) 100% 17% 16% 80% 44% 42% 60% 40% 83% 84% 56% 58% 20% 0% One Year Ago Five Years Ago One Year Ago Five Years Ago Boroondara Melbourne Same Address Different Address In the previous year, 17% of Boroondara residents lived at a different address. Five years previously, 44% lived at a different address. This closely mirrors the transience pattern in the MSD. 63 Transience map The highest rate of transience is in Hawthorn. This can indicate a high number of rental properties or new developments or a transient population due to high numbers of university students. 64 Household income Household Income Quartiles 100% 25% 41% 75% 25% 50% 20% 25% 19% 25% 25% 20% 0% Boroondara MSD Quartile 1 Quartile 2 Quartile 3 Quartile 4 When compared to the MSD, Boroondara has a much higher proportion of households in the highest income quartile and a much smaller proportion in the lowest income quartile. 65 Age groups Age Group (2001) 20% 16% 15% 16% 15%15% 15% 14% 13% 13% 13% 13% 10% 9% 9% 8% 6% 6% 6% 5% 6% 5% 0% Boroondara Melbourne 0 - 4 5 - 14 15 - 24 25 - 34 35 - 44 45 - 54 55 - 64 65 - 74 75 and older The distribution of age groups in Boroondara is similar to that in the MSD, except for a higher proportion in the 75 and older age group. 66 Youth A geographic mapping of younger people in Boroondara shows that they are mainly concentrated in Hawthorn near Swinburne University. 67 Over 74 year olds A geographic mapping of older persons in Boroondara shows that there are areas with higher densities of older persons in parts of Burwood, Hawthorn, Kew and Camberwell. 68 Household structure Household Structure (2001) 35% 30% 30% 29% 26% 25% 24% 23% 23% 20% 15% 10% 7% 7% 6% 5% 5% 4% 4% 5% 3% 2% 2% 0% Boroondara Me lbourne Couple Only Couple Family: Dependent Children Couple Family: Non-Dependent Children One Parent Family: Dependent Children One Parent Family: Non-Dependent Children Other Family LonePerson Group Household structure in Boroondara is similar to that in the MSD. 69 Housing tenure Housing Tenure (2001) 80% 69%70% 70% 60% 50% 47% 42% 40% 28% 30% 25% 21% 23% 20% 10% 4% 5% 2% 2% 0% Fully owned Purchasing Home ownership Renting Other type Not stated Boroondara MSD There are a higher proportion of households who own their homes outright and a smaller proportion purchasing in Boroondara than in the MSD.

  • 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.
