  • 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.

The 1993 -94 financial year presented a number of challenges for the Department of Finance. As the key advisor to the Victorian Government on the management of its finances, assets and liabilities, the Department has been at the forefront of reforms to bring the public sector's accounting and financial practices into line with commercial business. Such major strategic initiatives as the staged introduction of whole-of-government reporting and accrual accounting will see more financial responsibility devolved to Departments and Agencies within a framework that improves the value and integrity of the Government's accounts. Within the Department itself, the public sector management reform process is equally being applied. Many activities and functions have been subject to comprehensive review and to reforms intended to lift efficiency and effectiveness.

  • History of St Albans Secondary College: 1956 - 2016
    HISTORY OF ST ALBANS SECONDARY COLLEGE: 1956 - 2016 1956: Foundation Year 1956 would have to be a major turning point in the history of education in St Albans for a number of reasons: the population had reached 4,000, there were 21 shops, and the old wooden hall in East Esplanade (the Mechanics Institute) that had been used as overflow classrooms for the primary school in recent years was pulled down and a new brick hall built by Keilor Council. This was possible because the acute shortage of classrooms in the area was finally relieved with the opening of St Albans East Primary School and the St Albans High School. I was part of this history in my own small way. We had come to St Albans early in 1952, via a two-year sojourn in the migrant hostels at Bonegilla and Watsonia, and moved into a one-room bungalow (sometimes referred to as a skillion) to accommodate the four of us, soon to be five. My sister Helen started at St Albans Primary in 1953. The following year I also was taken there to be enrolled, but the school was already full to the brim (according to family lore) and they told Mum to bring me back next year. I started school when I was seven, in 1955, at the little, old, overcrowded school that now features so often in people's recollection of "old" St Albans; it was the year before the era of the high school. In Victoria, children were legally required to attend school between the ages of 6 and 14 years; this upper limit meant that children were not allowed to leave school until the end of the term in which they turned 14.
