City of Greater Geelong Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM PART I-PRELIMINARY Clause 1 states the purposes of the Act, which are to restructure certain councils in the Geelong region, constitute the City of Greater Geelong and abolish the Geelong Regional Commission. The Greater Geelong City Council will replace six existing councils and its municipal district will incorporate part of the district of the Shire of Bannockbum and part of the district of the Barrabool Shire Council. The Councils which will be replaced by the Greater Geelong City Council are Bellarine Rural City Council, City of Geelong, City of Geelong West, City of Newtown, City of South Barwon and Shire of Corio. Clause 2 states that with the exception of section 24, the Act comes into operation on the day it receives Royal Assent. Clause 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Act.

    BUCKLEY FALLS PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENT AUGUST 1991 33?·. 1: .$!) ~ t. i FOREWORD Buckley Falls Park is one of Geelong's prime conservation and recreation areas although this has not always been recognised. Despite its proximity to the centre of Geelong and its significant recreational potential only a relatively small proportion of local residents, let alone visitors to the region, are aware of the area. This Management Plan aims to raise the profile of Buckley Falls Park to ensure that its natural, cultural and recreational values are managed in a balanced way for the benefit of the community. Through the implementation of this Plan, the conservation and recreation corridor along the Barwon River will be extended thereby further enhancing Geelong's open space system. This Management Plan has been prepared by a number of organisations and individuals and I thank them for thetr efforts and a fine result. The Plan recognises and documents the great natural, historical, recreational and landscape values of the Park. It proposes detailed management actions of varying levels of priority for implementation. · The Plan provides a set of long-term guidelines for the management of all aspects of the Park. It is recommended that the existing Committees of Management and any future Committees with responsibility for the area adopt the Plan in principle to ensure that the Park is conserved while allowing for a balance of uses. There is much goodwill in the general community at an organisational, individual This Management Plan was prepared by: and corporate level for the management of the area.
