Substantial progress was made in the construction of this tramway during the year, and it was open for traffic early in 1906. Being a Government tramway, it is exempt from the provisions of the Electric Light and Power Act. MAXIMUM DEMAND SYSTEM OF CHARGING FOR ELECTRICITY. Steps were taken by the :Metropolitan Gas Company to obtain an injunction to restrain the Melbourne City Council from supplying electricity under the ''maximum demand" system, and the ease came before the Full Court of Victoria in November, 1905, for hearing. · The Court gave judgment against tlw Council, and granted the injunction on the ground that a former decision of the Full Court in regard to differential rates of charge for power and light, decided the principle at issue, ~md that it was unnecessary for the Court to express its own opinion on this case. • The Court, however, suspended the operation of the injunction until 1st ,July, 1906. 4 Notice of appeal to the High Court of Australia was given. In the meantime steps were taken to obtain special legislation to deal with the maximum demand principle, but, it was subsequently decided to withdraw the Bill, which had been submitted to Parliament, pending the hearing of the appeal to the High Court. The appeal came on for hearing in March last, when the Court allowed the appeal, and dismissed the action with costs. The system is now becoming more generally adopted, and. is working with results equally satisfactory to the consumers and the undertakers. CITY OF :MELBOURNE. Order No. 3. Melbourne City Council.

  • (MSS) Outlines the Land Use Planning Directions for the Gannawarra Shire
    GANNAWARRA PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT 14/09/2006 C9 The Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) outlines the land use planning directions for the Gannawarra Shire. The MSS is presented in the planning scheme as part of the Gannawarra Local Planning Policy Framework. The inclusion of the MSS in the planning scheme means that it can be implemented by decisions made in the administration of the planning scheme. The MSS provides strategic justification for zones, overlays, local policies and controls contained in the planning scheme. The MSS is derived from the Gannawarra Strategic and Planning Scheme Review project that commenced in September 1995. This Review was supported by several important strategy documents that dealt with a range of concerns including salinity, catchment management, water quality, flooding, rural land use, economic development and tourism. The Review included the development of an Integrated Strategy Plan (ISP) that established a framework for making decisions about the future use and development of land. This ISP formed the basis of the MSS in the new format planning scheme. The MSS is an important component of the Gannawarra Shire Council Plan. It assists in the achievement of the Corporate Plans goals, strategies and action plans, especially in relation to Environmental, Planning and Regulatory Services. The MSS is a forward looking document with a 10 to 15 year timeframe. The MSS will be reviewed every 3 years. 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 14/09/2006 C9 Gannawarra Shire was created in January 1995 and comprises the former Borough of Kerang and former Shire of Kerang, excluding the Tresco area, and former Shire of Cohuna excluding the Gunbower area.

  • 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.
