MEEl'INGS The Board held 25 meetings during the period under review. MEMBERSHIP OF THE BOARD The Board noted with pleasure that the Governor in Council had approved the re-appointment of the Chairman, Mr. R. D. L. Fraser, for a further period of five years to 25th February, 1976. On 28th June, 1971 the Governor in Council appointed Mr. P. B. Ronald as a part-time member of the Board for the statutory period of three years. Mr. Ronald has had extensive experience in local government and in various capacities has contributed a great deal to the community. The knowledge which he brings to the position will be of considerable benefit, and in welcoming him, the Board looks forward to a close and happy association. Mr. Ronald succeeded Mr. M. J. Lea who was unable to accept an invitation to serve a further term. The Board wishes to express its appreciation of Mr. Lea's outstanding service. Mr. Lea introduced a different and refreshing approach in the way he undertook his duties. Backed by long experience in planning and related professions, he readily assessed the magnitude and complexity of the Board's new responsibilities. Of special value was his ability to bring to light obscure facets of a problem which might sometimes have been overlooked. His contribution to the Board's work has been considerable and it is greatly regretted that Mr. Lea should have found it necessary to terminate what had been for his colleagues a fruitful and happy association. LEGISLATION The Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Act 1971 received assent on 4th May, 1971. lt relates primarily to the Town Planning Appeals Tribunal and is designed to resolve administrative problems encountered by the Tribunal and to strengthen weaknesses found in the earlier legislation. With the exception of three section which require supporting statutory regulations, the Act came into operation on the 16th June, 1971. A number of suggested improvements to the Town and Country Planning Act 1961, as amended, were submitted by the Board and these are still under consideration. The Board has also been concerned with other legislation, agreed to by Parliament during the year, the most important being the Urban Renewal Act 1970. 6 7 Strategic Planning STATE PLANNING COUNCIL The State Planning Council met four times during the year primarily to consider drafts of statements of planning policy for Western Port, the Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenong Ranges, and the River Yarra. These are discussed in detail under "Statements of Planning Policy ". The Council also set up a State Planning Advisory Committee to investigate and advise the Council on the co-ordination of the planning of those future works and developments of the departments and authorities represented on the Council as may be referred to it. STATE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Committee, comprising senior technical representatives of the members of the State Planning Council, held its inaugural meeting on the 22nd September, 1970. Mr. K. Tyler, the Board's Director of Strategic Planning, was elected Chairman. Since that date the committee has held seven regular monthly meetings and three special meetings. The Committee's first tasks have been to enquire into the need for additional major airport facilities in the Port Phillip district and to report on the feasibility of carrying out an investigation into the provision of access and services to French Island. Additional Major Airport Facilities The Committee, with the assistance and co-operation of officers of the Department of Civil Aviation and the Western Port Regional Planning Authority, completed the first of a series of reports entitled "The Need for and Type of Airport". During the course of its investigations, the Committee had discussions with Professor A. A. Waiters, Cassel Professor of Economics at the University of London, a member of the Roskill Commission which inquired into the location for London's third international airport. The Committee is now preparing its second report dealing with the reconciliation of other uses for land, water and air space. Provision of Access and Services to French Island The feasibility study was carried out as a matter of urgency at the request of the State Planning Council following representations by the Minister for Local Gov­ ernment. The report is now under consideration by the Government. STATEMENTS OF PLANNING POLICY During the year three Statements of Planning Policy were approved by the Governor in Council-the first to be prepared by the Board under the 1968 Act. Statement of Planning Policy No. I (Western Port) approved on 6th October, 1970, recognises the suitability of the deep water channel in Western Port and the extensive flat areas which adjoin it for industrial and port development and requires that in the planning of the region special attention be given to developing a major specialised port and heavy industrial complex whilst at the same time conserving the natural character of adjoining areas and controlling all forms of pollution. Statement of Planning Policy No. 2 (Mornington Peninsula), approved on 6th October, 1970, on the other hand acknowledges the existing role of the Peninsula as a major conservation, recreation and tourist area for the urban population of Melbourne and specifies guidelines for the future planning of the area so that its value will not be diminished by inappropriate development. Statement of Planning Policy No. 3 (Dandenong Ranges), approved on 4th May, 1971, recognises the Dandenong Ranges as a nature conservation, recreation and tourist area of State significance and specifies guidelines for future planning so that the natural character is preserved, pollution and fire hazards are minimised and unsuitable development discouraged. 8 REGIONAL PLANNING AUTHORil'IES Western Port Regional Planning Authority The work ofthe Authority has been mainly directed towards the implementation of Statements of Planning Policy Nos. I and 2. In this respect the most notable event was the introduction of an Interim Development Order to be administered by the Authority on the basis of general interim policies related to the control of subdivision of rural land within defined ' Non-Urban Areas ' and ' Areas of Special Significance ', and the regulation of the extension of existing urban areas. The ' Areas of Special Significance ' as defined by the Authority relate to those parts of the region affected by the two statements of planning policy. The Authority, having regard to Statement of Planning Policy No. I, commissioned a firm of consultants to assess the industrial potential of the region and the rate at which development was likely to occur. Subsequently, the Authority adopted in principle an industrial policy which has the effect of defining the areas affected by Policy No. I. After discussion with member councils, and although the document is in no sense a formal planning scheme, the Authority proposes to make the draft policy with its maps available for inspection and comment by the public. Having regard to Policy No. 2, the Authority is investigating a proposal to establish a national park of 400 acres at Cape Schanck. Geelong Regional Planning Authority The Authority, inaugurated in July 1969, has commenced several studies necessary to the preparation of a regional plan. Because of the rapid increase in the extent and number of subdivisions in rural areas of allotments of five acres or less the Authority is investigating the need for greater subdivisional control. As part of this project, it is examining the regional controls necessary to ensure that the character and appearance of the countryside will not be adversely affected by subdivision. lt is also studying the unused capacity of residential zones within the region. This information will be used to estimate future growth needs. The Authority is also concerned at the lack of adequate planning control over the erection of multi-dwelling units in the region and, in conjunction with member councils, is formulating a flat development code. The Geelong Airport Committee, comprised mainly of representatives of municipal councils, has asked the Authority to assist in the selection of a site for a general purpose municipally-controlled airport in the region and the matter is being investigated. The Authority also joined the Geelong University Committee and several Councils in preparing a submission to the Government on the location of the fourth Victorian University. During the year the Authority continued to give assistance with local planning matters and to work with member Councils in reviewing all planning proposals sponsored by them. The Board's Assistant Secretary, Mr. H. R. Trotter, is Acting Secretary of the Authority. STRATEGIC STUDIES The Board has continued to undertake studies aimed at the gradual evolution of a strategic plan for the Port Phillip district.

  • Bass Coast Shire Council
    BASS COAST SHIRE COUNCIL WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 2015 – 2025 Version: 1.0 Date of issue: August 2015 Prepared For Bass Coast Shire Council 74 McBride Avenue Wonthaggi Prepared by Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd 18-38 Siddeley Street Melbourne Victoria 3000 Acknowledgement Bass Coast Shire Council wishes to acknowledge the community’s generous contribution of their time to the development of this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background Bass Coast Shire is the fastest growing local government area in Gippsland with the resident population of about 30,000, increasing to over 70,000 during peak holiday periods (www.forecast.id.com.au). The area also attracts visitors to Philip Island Nature Parks and the Motor Cycle Grand Prix and is well renowned for its special natural environment, with eco-tourism opportunities and major motorsports events attracting millions of visitors every year. The generation of waste is expected to increase in the future in line with projected population increases, which has been predicted to rise to approximately 45,000 by 2031, an increase of approximately 42%. This, coupled with a number of identified waste management challenges and issues provides significant drivers for consideration of a new waste management strategic direction and sustainability initiatives across the Shire. Purpose The Waste Management Strategy (WMS) has been developed as part of the commitment Bass Coast Shire Council has made to provide sustainable solutions for the collection, disposal and resource recovery from waste generated within the community. The Strategy’s main purpose is to guide the management of waste over the next 10 years, 2015 - 2025.

Compiled by Lois Crisp. SHIRE OF CROAJINGALONG/ ORBOST MAY 1892 The new Shire was approximately 4,200 square miles John D. Adams wrote in The Tambo Shire Centenary History, “An in area, covering the whole eastern corner of Orbost meeting in February 1891 endorsed the idea of a separate Victoria. Shire and a committee worked out the boundaries of the proposed Shire. They were to include all of the Snowy River and Bendoc Ridings with the western boundary running from the junction of the Bell’s Point Road with the Bruthen Cunninghame Road and south to the lakes along the western boundary of the Parish of Colquhoun. Cunninghame, Lake Tyers and Nowa Nowa were to be the new West Riding of the Shire”. [The original Shire of Tambo was formed in 1882 and covered a wide area including the Orbost district which was represented by Councillors of the Snowy River Riding, James Cameron, Charles Grove, and William Watt]. Early in 1892 the idea of severing a section from Tambo Shire for the new Shire of Croajingalong was revived and a petition was published in April with the blessing of the Lakes Entrance district people, William Hunter from Cunninghame, was one of three delegates who went to Melbourne to put the petition, and “within a week their efforts were rewarded”.
