Albury and Wodonga are contiguous twin towns astride the Murray River the border between New South Wales and Victoria and at a casual glance appear to be functioning as one town. In 1972 the Federal Labor Whitlam government and the States of Victoria and New South Wales established the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre and appointed the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation to plan and develop the project which included the building of two new satellite towns, Thurgoona and Baranduda. The Growth Centre policy is underpinned by the popular Growth Poles and Growth Centre theories of the day, which were circulating in Europe and North America. Albury and Wodonga were selected for development as a Growth Centre as they had already shown evidence of economic development and population growth. The theories of spatial concentration, industrial location, and regional agglomeration explain the development of the Growth Centre over three historical periods in Australia including the end of the Long Boom which encompasses the Whitlam years, the lead up to and the restructuring of the Australian economy by the Hawke-Keating governments (1976-1991), and the return to prosperity under the Howard government (1996-2006). Three issues were examined in this thesis. First, the reasons why Albury-Wodonga continued to grow in its unique way as an inland centre. Second, the role of the cross border location in generating reasons for growth and creating anomalies. Third an understanding of the brief and unique Federal intervention which has shaped Albury-Wodonga. The development of the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre has been the first and last occasion, in the past forty years, that the Federal government has directly intervened in State regional affairs. Fieldwork provided a contemporary narrative from stakeholders in the Growth Centre about events over the three historic periods and the impact of anomalies on commerce, industry and residents. The thesis attempts to add to the research about internal borders and inland centres in Australia... vi Statement by Candidate I Clara Stein, hereby state that his dissertation has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other university or institution.

  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION the Mungabareena Reserve-Wiradjuri Reconciliation Project Was Undertaken in Efforts to Rehabilitate and Revegetate an Area of Riverine Floodplain
    1 1. INTRODUCTION The Mungabareena Reserve-Wiradjuri Reconciliation Project was undertaken in efforts to rehabilitate and revegetate an area of Riverine floodplain. (Appendix 1) The project area had been utilised by stock (cattle) owners for agistment purposes. The cattle impacted on the area through urine and excrement that entered the waterways in the area, the ground was hardened by continuous movement of cattle and native vegetation regrowth was retarded by cattle eating the plants before they had a chance to become established. (Appendix 2). In order for the area to become rehabilitated a number of issues needed to be examined, discussed and implemented. As there were no money available to undertake the project, it was decided to approach funding bodies in an attempt to secure the appropriate amount of money needed to begin and complete a project of this type. Community concerns needed to be ascertained and the chance to do this came through extensive media coverage which allowed the community to participate in the project through volunteering in a physical manner, or in the provision of materials needed during the life span of the project. A management strategy for the project was developed and a management team put together to implement that strategy. The strategy included fencing the area, revegetation through community participation, the strategic placement of interpretive signage, walking tracks and picnic settings and surveys. In order to be equitable, the management team consisted of equal numbers of female and male persons. A number of organisations and individuals were also approached for assistance and for their endorsement of the project.

  • The Case for Fossil Fuel Divestment a Guide for Auckland Council March 2017 B
    The case for fossil fuel divestment A guide for Auckland Council March 2017 B. Forbes, S. Vincent, S. Hildebrandt, & E. Campbell The photographs in this report depict the effects of extreme weather events in the Pacific (namely cyclones Pam and Winston in Vanuatu and Fiji respectively), and one of the many efforts undertaken by Pacific peoples to fight back against the fossil fuel industry: the Pacific Climate Warrior blockade of the Newcastle coal port in Australia. Climate change is expected to increase the intensity of both these kinds of events. All photographs © Jeff Tan www.jefftanphotography.com For general enquiries about 350 Aotearoa, divestment and organising, please contact Niamh O’Flynn at [email protected] For enquiries about this report, please contact Blaze Forbes at [email protected] Executive Summary Divestment is the opposite of investment and consists of withdrawing and withholding funds from a problematic sector. Divestment undermines the legitimacy of the targeted sector and thereby builds pressure for change. Historically, divestment was a component of the successful international push against Apartheid in South Africa. Tobacco, alcohol, munitions, gambling and pornography have all been targets of divestment campaigns. Recently, divestment from fossil fuels has gained prominence as a means whereby investors may curb the problematic activities of the fossil fuel industry contributing to climate change. Globally, fossil fuel divestment is accelerating: $5.2 trillion has been divested to date, double the amount divested by 2015. A major conclusion of the research into fossil fuel divestment is that funds divested from fossil fuels perform better than fossil fuel-inclusive funds – that is, from a purely financial point of view, the case for fossil fuel divestment is robust.
