  • 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.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017

  • Name of Place: Footscray Residential Precinct Identification and Location
    Historic Places - Urban Conservation Areas & Individual Places in the former City of Footscray Identification and location Name of place: Footscray Residential Precinct Other Name Address bounded by Moore, Newell, Nicholson, Lynch, Stirling, Donald, and Cowper Streets (parts) Footscray Place Identifier 22164 Heritage Overlay Number 2000 HA 4 Heritage Significance City Creation date(s) 1880s-1920s Map (Melway) 42 DE3,4 Boundary description Parts of Moore, Newell, Nicholson, Lynch, Stirling, Donald, and Cowper Streets and the railway, with emphasis on all original Edwardian-era and Victorian-era elements, including basalt pitched paving, asphalt footpaths, lot sizes and street patterns. Local Government Area City of Maribyrnong Ownership Type Private & Public Description Site Type: Housing estate Physical Description The general character of the Footscray Residential Precinct is one of small Victorian & Edwardian single-storey detached housing with mainly weatherboard wall cladding, corrugated iron roofing, front verandahs, similar front and side setbacks and generally narrow block frontages. The surviving rear right-of-ways are valuable elements associated with the 19th century night soil collection. Houses were originally with picket front fences and the streets had asphalt footpaths and stone kerb and channel, with some surviving. There was originally no provision for on-site vehicle parking for most of the identified housing. The major built form was of the typical Edwardian villa main hip and projecting gable roof form combination. Beyond the clear expression of two important periods in the City's history (Edwardian-era, Victorian-era), there is a visual cohesion which derives from simple, often conservative house design. Many houses have been altered in detail and whole former housing areas redeveloped for commercial uses around the fringe of the precinct.

  • Western Community Cycling Hub Submission to Maribyrnong Council Hansen Reserve Draft Master Plan
    Western Community Cycling Hub Submission to Maribyrnong Council Hansen Reserve Draft Master Plan Prepared by Western Riders, Promoting Cycling in the Inner West https://www.facebook.com/sunsetvelodrome/ Contact person: Dr John Symons 20 Barnet St Yarraville 0434 870 981 [email protected] Western Riders Committee Members Rob Cust, Megan Bridger-Darling, Murray Jenkins, Colin McEvoy, Matt Rodd John Symons 1 Executive Summary Maribyrnong Council have called for community input into the development of a Master plan for Hansen Reserve West Footscray and this submission proposes a focus on cycling in the Master Plan. Cycling was a very popular pastime during the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century with many clubs forming in the western suburbs. During this period, the Footscray Velodrome was constructed in Hansen Reserve in the mid-1930s and existed until the mid-2000s when the top layer was removed after a failed re-surfacing attempt. Despite this approximately 70% of the banking of the cycling track still exists and the area is unspecified open space. The removal of the Footscray velodrome has led to a complete absence in cycling facilities for the whole of the western suburbs as compared to the north, east and south of Melbourne that have many clubs and extensive facilities. Cycling participation levels are declining in Australia, however, research suggests there is a large latent demand for cycling. While Australians are cycling less they are also doing less physical activity with more than 1 in 2 Australians not meeting their recommended daily amounts of physical activity.

Victoria and was overseen by a steering committee made up of representatives of the Ministry for Planning and Environment, Museum of Victoria, National Trust of Australia, Footscray Institute of Technology, Western Region Commission and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sources for Industrial history In Victoria are scarce and diffi­ cult to find. In preparing this study I am Indebted to many people who have assisted in tracking down information on early Industries In the region. I have relied extensively on the existing conservation studies prepared by Graeme Butler and others for Essendon, Flemington/Kensington, Footscray and Williamstown as well as the various parts of the Western Region Cultural Heritage Study, Particularly the Outline History by John Lack and Olwen Ford.

  • Spotswood and South Kingsville Neighbourhood Past, Current and Future Development
    Spotswood and South Kingsville Neighbourhood Past, Current and Future Development Spotswood and South Kingsville Neighbourhood Profile 4 Spotswood and South Kingsville Neighbourhood Profile 5 A. Introduction The Spotswood and South Kingsville neighbourhood is bounded by New Street to the west and the Yarra River to the east. The north boundary is shared with the City of Maribyrnong. Starting at the western end, it skirts the Westgate Freeway and Stony Creek before heading north into Hyde Street and then east into Francis Street. The southern boundary is formed by Blackshaws Road (starting at New Street); on reaching Melbourne Road, it then follows a line between Burleigh and High Streets. Prior to council amalgamations in the mid 1990s, a section of South Kingsville was part of the former City of Footscray. B. History and Development Aboriginal History Two large Aboriginal groups lived on the land surrounding Port Phillip Bay, prior to European settlement; the Bunerong and the Woiworung who were a part of the Kulin nation. Within these groups were sub-groups or clans, made up of 10-30 families. They were hunters and gathers; some moved camp according to the availability of food while others settled in one location if they had access to reliable food sources. There were two clans living in the Hobsons Bay area. One was the Yalukit-willam, who lived along a 5 kilometre wide strip at the top of Port Phillip Bay, which included Footscray and further on to Williamstown. The Yalukit-willam was part of the Bunerong tribe. The other was the Marin-balluk (part of the Woiworung) who lived in an area near Stony Creek and extending north as far as Sunbury.

  • Name of Place: Kurrajong Street Trees Identification and Location Description
    Historic Places - Significant Trees in the City of Maribyrnong Identification and location Name of place: Kurrajong street trees Other Name `Brachychiton populneus' Address in Bloomfield Ave Maribyrnong Place Identifier 21763 Heritage Significance City Creation date(s) 1950s Map (Melway) 28B8 Boundary description The trees and land around each to allow for root zone and canopy protection, nominally 1m beyond the drip line, root zone or canopy perimeter which ever is the greatest. Local Government Area City of Maribyrnong Ownership Type Public Description Site Type: Trees, street Physical Description An incomplete row of `Brachychiton populneus' street trees, most semi mature, along the north side and part of the south side of the street, with some lily pily planting intermixed. The use of the Kurrajong as a street tree is uncommon in the City. There are 19 `Brachychiton populneus' on the north and 6 on the south, plus a total of 8 lily pily on the north and south. The Brachychiton genus `consists of around 30 species of warm-climate, evergreen or dry- season deciduous trees and shrubs, all Australian except one or two found in New Guinea. Some brachychitons are noted for their spectacular flowers, which are bell-shaped, the apparent petals actually being coloured calyces, and in most species appearing just before the new leaves of summer. The leaves are diverse in shape but are commonly lobed, though lobing tends to disappear on adult trees. The fruits consist of 5 stalked, boat-shaped carpels, rather woody when mature and splitting to release nut-like seeds that are edible but are surrounded by irritant hairs {Botanica}'.
