  • Inquiry Into Migrant Settlement Outcomes
    CASEY.VIC.GOV.AU Joint Standing Committee on Migration - Inquiry into Migrant Settlement Outcomes City of Casey submission (23 March 2017) About the City of Casey The City of Casey is located around 35 kilometres to the south east of Melbourne, on the urban fringe between the City of Greater Dandenong and the Shire of Cardinia to the west and east, and the City of Frankston and Shire of Mornington Peninsula to the south. Casey has the highest population of any Local Government Area in Victoria and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Approximately 311,000 residents from more than 150 different cultural backgrounds and 120 religious faiths currently reside in Casey. The population is growing by an average of 7,600 people per year. By 2041, the number of residents is expected to increase to 514,000. This population growth is driven largely by young families. Some facts about our diverse community include:1 Over one third of Casey’s residents were born overseas, with the majority aged 40-64 years and migrating from Great Britain, India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Afghanistan. Almost 30 per cent of Casey residents were born in non-English speaking countries and 31 per cent speak languages other than English at home, with Sinhalese being most commonly spoken. Around 16 per cent of residents do not use English as a main language and 3.4 per cent experience limited English fluency. Casey has the fourth highest number of residents in Victoria from a refugee or asylum-seeker background (9.5%).

  • Place Names of Casey and Cardinia
    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist. Army Road, Pakenham Army Road marks the location of the Salvation Army boy's home established in Pakenham in 1900. It subsequently became a home for Girls and then an Old Men's Home. The home closed in the 1920s. The Army Road School. No.3847, operated intermittently form 1914 until 1947. (W, V) Avonsleigh John (J.W) and Anna wright owned a guesthouse called Avonsleigh House at the corner of Emerald-Macclesfield and Emerald Roads. The name was adopted in 1911. The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'. (B) Ballarto Road John Bakewell retained ownership of the Tooradin run in 1856 when his partnership with John Mickle and William Lyall dissolved.

  • Submission Cover Sheet Crib Point Inquiry and Advisory Committee EES 3104
    Submission Cover Sheet Crib Point Inquiry and Advisory Committee EES 3104 Request to be heard?: No Full Name: Steph Miller Organisation: Address of affected property: Attachment 1: Attachment 2: Attachment 3: Submission: My name is Steph Miller and I care about the environment in Westernport Bay. Westernport bay is an area of considerable biodiversity and is listed on the Australia heritage registrar. We are rapidly destroying nature and cannot continue like this. Embrace renewable energy and give your kids a future. I thank the Crib Point Inquiry and Advisory Committee and the Minister for Planning for the opportunity to make a submission to the environment assessment of the Crib Point gas import jetty and gas pipeline project. There are a variety of issues which should deem this proposal unacceptable under its current form and that I will point to in my submission but the issue that concerns me most is the impact on our internationally recognised wetlands and wildlife. A new fossil fuel project like the gas import terminal which AGL is proposing would introduce new risks to the local community and visitors to the area. These risks include exposing people to toxic hydrocarbons which may leak from the facility and increased risk of accidental fire and explosion as noted in EES Technical Report K. The nearest homes to the import facility are about 1.5 kms away and Wooleys Beach is also close to the site. AGL have completed only preliminary quantitative risk assessments on these risks and have deemed the risk acceptable on that basis. It is not acceptable to present preliminary studies and the EES should not continue until we have an independent expert to provide final risk assessments.
