SEPTEMBER 1983 r497/a3-43ascF1> FOREWORD The Western Suburbs Planning and Environment Action Program was launched in October 1982. I asked the study team to investigate community concerns about environmental and land-use planning matters in the municipalities of Sunshine, Footscray, Williamstown, Altona and Werribee. In the first stage of the Program many people put forward their views on issues of concern and gave ideas for future improvement in the area. It is clear that social and economic conditions, particularly the problems associated with unemployment, are of over-riding concern. Whilst these aspects are outside the scope o~ the Action Program, it is essential that they are borne closely in mind when selecting actions for environmental improvement. The ~ajor issue within the Program itself concerns the relationship between industrial activities and residents. The study team includes representatives of community groups, business and industry as well as local and state government agencies. The second stage· of the Program is investigating what can be done to overcome the problems and to encourage appropriate future development. This report summarises the progress of this work, and I am releasing it now to enable public discussion and comment before it is finalised near the end of the year. I invite you to read the report and to take the opportunity to make further contact with the study team. EVAN WALKER MINISTER FOR CONSERVATION AND PLANNING SEPTEMBER 1983 7497/83-2 THIS DOCUMENT summarises the work currently being undertaken by three INVESTIGATION GROUPS within the Western Suburbs Planning and Environment Action Program. Detailed reports on the progress of investigations are also available. The Investigation Groups, comprising persons from government agencies, councils and the c?mmunity, were formed in April 1983 to investigate planning and environment issues raised during a program of public participation in late 1982. The investigations are limited in scope; they focus most particularly on the relationship between industrial and residential development" in the west, and on actions that can be taken by the agencies under the Minister for Conservation and Planning. THE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED The documents reporting on the progress of investigations are released for public discussion and comment prior to their finalisation. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IMPROVING LIVING CONDITIONS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE WESTERN.SUBURBS, PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT AND LET THE STUDY TEAM KNOW YOUR VIEWS BEFORE 11 NOVEMBER 1983.

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The Western Suburbs Planning and Environment Action Program is an initiative of the Minister for Conservation and Planning, the Hon. Evan Walker, MLC, to improve living conditions and the environment in Melbourne's western suburbs. The study covers the municipalities of Sunshine, Footscray, Williamstown, Altona and Werribee, and was extended over portions of the municipalities of Keilor and Essendon to include the suburb of St Albans and the frontages of the Maribyrnong River. The Program is be·ing undertaken by the Department of Planning, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, the Environment Protection Authority and the municipalities, including the Western Region Commission. A Steering Committee has been formed from representatives of these agencies. Close consultation is being maintained with individuals, companies and community groups. The main purpose is to identify planning and environmental issues from the community's point of view and to find practical ways of improving living conditions and the envir­ onment. The approach to this task is firstly to identify the issues, secondly to carry out investigations into the main issues, and then to prepare a program of actions. The first stage was completed in Ma·rch 1983 with the publication of the following r,eports: * Planning and Environment Issues in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. 2 * Stage I Issues Identification Reports: Group Discussions with Residents Industrial and Related Issues Residential and Related Issues Recreation and Cul tu·ral Issues. This report responds to the issues raised during the first stage. The second stage commenced in April 1983 with the convening of three Investigation Groups to examine the issues identified in Stage 1. The groups are concentrating on planning and environment issues that relate to the respons­ ibilities of the Minister for Conservation and Planning. The groups are dealing with different but inter-related areas of work. They comprise nominees from state and regional agencies, local government and the community. .A list of members is provided in Appendix 1. The groups are:- * Investigation Group 1 Land Use Planning and Environment Controls Review * Investigation Group 2 Industrial, Commercial and Residential Development * Investigation Group 3 Urban Conservation, Recreation and Development of Community Activities 3 The three groups will continue throughout the investigation stage (until the end of 1983) and will . be involved in community meetings, negotiations and in finalising their reports to the Steering Committee. This report presents summaries of recommen­ dations from the Investigation Groups together with some additional suggestions made by· the Study Team Working Group. Public comment is invited. 4 2. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations from the Investigation Groups In respect of the relationship between indust­ rial and residential development, THE INVESTI­ GATION GROUPS RECOMMEND THAT:- SPECIFIC ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HELP OVERCOME THE PROBLEMS THAT HAvE ARISEN FROM PAST PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT:- * Offensive industry should be a use requi­ ring planning consent in the Offensive Industrial Zone at Laverton North. * Industrial hazards such as fire, explosion and chemical leakages should be assessed in conjunction with the Department of Minerals and Energy and guidelines included in planning controls. * Buffer areas between existing industries and housing should be identified and strong controls applied to prevent inappropriate development. * The Environment Protection Authority should review its practices to achieve better control of odours and an improved complaints service. * Enforcement of conditions on planning permits and EPA licences should be more rigorous. Enforcement procedures should be simplified and integrated, and greater co-operation should be arranged with municipal inspectors. 5 * Traffic noise and danger in residential areas should be reduced by the municipa- lities declaring 'Traffic Protected Areas.' * The Environment Protection Authority should lead discussions with industries identified as causing pollution problems and determine actions to reduce or eliminate the problems. SEVERAL ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT THE PROBLEMS OF PAST PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FROM ARISING IN THE FUTURE * A new area_ should be investigated for the possible location o~ future offensive industries. ~ The area of the Offensive Industrial Zone at Laverton North shQuld be reduced. * The area of the Special Use 7 Zone located north of the Offensive Industrial ~one (in which it is possible for industries of an offensive nature to be permitted to establish) should also be reduced. * Buffer areas separating industries and housing areas should be defined under a longc term plan for urban development in the west, and joint environmental and planning provisions should be applied. 6 * A preliminary health investigation should be carried out by the Health Commission and the Environment Protection Authority to determine if there is a case for a full health survey. * Approvals for industrial development should integrate planning, environmental and hazard assessments. Multiple approvals should be eliminated. * Planning controls should ensure that incompatible industries (e.g. food processing and organic chemical plants) do not locate near each other. Concerning the future of the west generally, THE . INVESTIGATION GROUPS RECOMMEND THAT:- A RANGE OF ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENCOURAGE . FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE WEST. * INDUSTRIAL GROWTH An assessment of the type of industrial . land currently available in the west, and factors influencing industrial location should be made. Higher standards of appearance should be encouraged for industrial developments. These will help provide a basis for guiding and promoting future industrial growth in the study area. 7 * SHOPPING CENTRES Policies for small retail centres and strip shopping areas should be prepared, to maintain a wide range of economically viable retail and commercial centres in the

  • Grand Junction Estate and Matthew's Hill Precinct
    GRAND JUNCTION ESTATE & MATTHEW’S HILL PRECINCT GRAND JUNCTION ESTATE AND MATTHEW’S HILL PRECINCT 1 CONTEXT PTY LTD Locality History Two important factors influenced the development of Sunshine from a rural area in the mid-1800s to the industrial centre it had become by the 1950s. The first was the railway boom of the 1880s, when it became one of the main junctions in Victoria. The second was the establishment of the Sunshine Harvester Works in 1906-1907 by Hugh Victor McKay, giving the township its current name. In the 1880s Melbourne was booming, being one of the fastest growing cities in the world. The boom had a major impact on the development of the Brimbank area. The metropolis was expanding westward as new suburbs were developed along the newly established railway lines. As well as residential development, new and relocated factories flourished in the Brimbank area (Ford & Vines 2000:56). The wealth of connecting railway lines in Brimbank was a key factor in encouraging industries to settle in the area. Braybrook Junction Station opened in 1885 and St. Albans Station in 1887. Railway sidings went off from the main lines to quarries and new factories. The locality of Braybrook Junction, as Sunshine was first known, was described as ‘the greatest junction in Victoria’. New industries relating to the railway as well as agricultural implements thrived at Braybrook Junction. The Braybrook Implement Company started one of the first factories there, producing mainly farm implements. The factory, established on Devonshire Road next to the new railway junction was later taken over by H.V.

  • Potentially Contaminated Land in Victoria – Challenges for Local Government
    Potentially contaminated land in Victoria – challenges for local government Mark Beaufoy* In making planning decisions about potentially contaminated land (PCL) councils must decide whether the land is suitable for the proposed use and development. Planning policy encouraging urban consolidation and increas- ing property values are leading to the transformation of former industrial land to residential and other sensitive uses. However, the potential restrictions on land-use and the costs of investigating, remediating and redeveloping contaminated land can be significant. In making planning decisions about PCL, councils often face significant pressure to be commercial and practical, and to balance other planning objectives in performing legal obligations associated with PCL. At the same time, as a number of cases before the courts have demonstrated, councils can also face significant legal liability (and expensive and time-consuming litigation) if statutory obligations relating to PCL are not properly performed. The regulatory framework for PCL in Victoria is mature, having developed over the past 20 years following amendments to the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (Vic) and the introduction of Ministerial Direction No 1 – Potentially Contaminated Land on 9 October 1989. However, further work is required to improve some aspects of the regulatory framework, give clearer guidance to councils in making decisions about PCL and avoid the uncertainty created by some recent decisions reviewed by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. INTRODUCTION Much of the recent focus of Melbourne 2030: Planning for Sustainable Growth and Melbourne @ 5 Million has been on Melbourne’s growth areas, review of the urban growth boundary, the precinct structure plan process and improving transport infrastructure.1 An important part of this policy is also consolidating development and employment around Central Activity Districts (Box Hill, Broadmeadows, Dandenong, Footscray, Frankston and Ringwood), Activity Centres and more intensive development along major transport routes.

  • Maribyrnong Planning Scheme Municipal Strategic Statement
    MARIBYRNONG PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 16/11/2006 C31 21.01-1 Introduction 19/01/2006 VC37 How will the City of Maribyrnong look and feel and function in 15 or 20 year’s time? The trends which are operating now, and the opportunities for redevelopment and change which exist here, show quite clearly that there will be major physical changes within the city in the foreseeable future. Major and rapid change, amounting to the complete re-creation of some areas, will occur in a horse-shoe shaped area within a kilometre or so of the city’s eastern, northern and western boundaries. On the other hand, in most of the central areas of the city, change, if it occurs at all, will be slow and subtle; consolidating and enhancing existing character rather than re-creation. These physical changes will bring about significant cultural, social, economic and environmental changes. The Council is committed to bringing about these changes. The primary issue is to influence change to achieve the outcomes which are carefully considered, fair and just to all, which will enhance the environment and economic and social opportunities, and bring to life Council’s mission of building a diverse yet cohesive inner city community where everyone can contribute to the life of the city. Achieving the best outcomes from change requires a description of what is wanted. The process of change needs to be carefully managed to increase future opportunities for, choice in, and access to, housing, employment, leisure, recreation, entertainment, shopping, and education. These are the foundations of our quality of life.

  • 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.
