Introduction 1.1 The value of open space in the City of Melbourne The City of Melbourne is located on the traditional land of the Kulin Nation. For the Wurundjeri, Boonerwrung, Taungurong, Djajawurrung, and the Wauthaurong groups who form the Kulin Nation, Melbourne has always been an important meeting place for events, of social, education, sporting and cultural significance. The major open spaces in Melbourne were set aside at the time of European settlement from 1842 onwards on the outskirts of the central city (Hoddle Grid) as part of Governor La Trobe’s vision of a green belt of parks encircling Melbourne. They include Royal Park, Princes Park, Flagstaff Gardens, Royal Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens, Treasury Gardens, Domain Parklands, Fawkner Park and Carlton Gardens. These larger original reserves are synonymous with the character of Melbourne, as are some of the more contemporary open spaces including Federation Square, Southbank Promenade and Birrarung Marr. Major festivals and events are held in Melbourne’s open space including Moomba and New Years Eve along the Yarra River, the Australian Open at Melbourne Park, cricket and AFL at the MCG and numerous other major sporting events that form part of Melbourne’s image and identity and contribute to the City of Melbourne’s reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Diversity is a core strength and feature of open space in the City of Melbourne. This diversity ranges from historical gardens to expansive parks, major sporting reserves, local parks, smaller urban spaces, forecourts and unique squares within the municipality. The diversity of open space offers a variety of informal, CITY OF MELBOURNE OPEN SPACE STRATEGY TECHNICAL REPORT JUNE 2012 PAGE 1 Page 48 of 896 unstructured and organised sport and recreation opportunities for residents, workers and visitors alike. The waterways flowing through Melbourne include the Yarra River, Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek. The Yarra River was one of the main reasons for the establishment of Melbourne, influencing the alignment of the Hoddle Grid and Melbourne’s layout. Early settlers modified the alignment, shape and natural values to suit land use changes, industrialisation and the growing city's needs. Today the Yarra River flows through the central city with linear open space to the both sides. It is highly valued and cherished, particularly the open space along the Yarra River which provides a unique setting and venue for characteristic Melbourne events including Moomba and the New Year’s Eve celebrations. The river is used regularly for rowing and other water-based sports like kayaking and also as s transport corridor for visitors to the city, particularly between the central city and the sports and entertainment precinct. The linear open space connects some of Melbourne's prominent open spaces including the Royal Botanic Gardens, The Tan, Queen Victoria Gardens, Melbourne Park, Olympic Park and the MCG.

  • The Trades Hall Part of Our History
    The Trades Hall Part of Our History You aid them friends, with more than empty praise, Your contribution will assist to raise A people’s palace on yon vacant soil- A palace built and own’d by hardy sons of toil1 Image: State Library of Victoria Trades Hall, Corner of Lygon and Victoria Streets, Carlton (Photographed by John T. Collins in 1964) At a time when the nation’s biggest convenience store chain is being cast as ‘rorting wages of its workers’ it is worth noting that the history of one of the world’s earliest trade union buildings is in Carlton, on the fringe of the central city, originally solely financed and built by the workers to serve as a place for the labour movement. Melbourne building workers had successfully taken up an issue first raised by Sydney stonemasons for an Eight Hour Day. The skilled tradesmen, stonemasons, bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, plumbers, painters, slaters, quarrymen, coach builders, were Chartists or radicals who had emigrated from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, who had settled in cheaper suburbs like Collingwood, Fitzroy, North Melbourne and Richmond, who considered themselves ‘the fraternity of labour’, ‘the working bees of society’, ‘the producing classes’ and ‘the pioneers of the colony’.2 3 Their leader’s names are recorded on an honour board on the main staircase of the present building including Charles Don, Thomas Vine, James Stephens, James Galloway and Benjamin Douglass. Their families were also involved as the original Eight Hours flag was hand stitched by Vine’s three daughters.
