Hepburn Planning Scheme Municipal Strategic Statement HEPBURN PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT ----//----//20--20-- C--C56 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT - CLAUSE 21 PAGE 1 OF 1 HEPBURN PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE --/--/20 C56 21.01-1 Location Hepburn Shire is located in Victoria’s Central Highlands, about one and a quarter hours drive or 110 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, in the heart of the goldfields region. The Shire encompasses a total land area of approximately 1,470 square kilometres. 21.01-2 Regional context --/--/20 C56 The Shire is strategically placed to take advantage of its location to the outer metropolitan growth area of Melbourne and the regional centres of Ballarat and Bendigo, which are commutable distances for many townships within the Shire. The Shire is located within the Central Highlands Region, an area which has seen sustained population growth of 1% per annum over the past decade. Population projections forecast continued growth at this rate through to 2026. The region includes the local government areas of Ararat, Ballarat, Central Goldfields, Golden Plains, Moorabool, Northern Grampians and Pyrenees. Transport corridors The Midland Highway dissects the Shire, which provides excellent commercial and private access to Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo, Melbourne, the ports, and domestic and international airports, as well as key linkages to the regional and interstate transport corridors including the Western Freeway and Calder Highway. Public transport provision is limited. Areas such as Clunes, Creswick, Daylesford-Hepburn Springs and Trentham, are serviced by V-Line and other bus services. The reestablishment of passenger rail services to Clunes and Creswick provides improved public transport access for residents to Ballarat and Melbourne. Water catchments and mineral springs Hepburn is located within a number of water supply catchments, including the Loddon and Campaspe Rivers, designated by the State Government to provide drinking, and in some cases irrigation water for central and northern Victoria. The Shire with other Councils and MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT - CLAUSE 21.01 PAGE 1 OF 4 HEPBURN PLANNING SCHEME regional water authorities share in the administration of catchment management planning across these catchments. Hepburn is renowned for its mineral springs and contains one of the largest concentrations of natural springs in Australia. There are over 72 known springs in the region with the majority located in Hepburn Shire. Mineral Springs are a major attraction and economic asset within the Shire and wider region. 21.01-3 Municipal Overview --/--/20 C56 People The estimated resident population of Hepburn Shire in 2011 is 14,900. A modest growth rate of 0.84% is predicted across the Shire for the next 20 years. Hepburn has attracted a diverse social mix of people that includes more traditional farming communities and long term residents in established towns, a growing commuter population, alternative lifestyle communities, as well as a large number of part time residents. Council estimates that 34% of rate payers do not permanently reside in the Shire. As with many rural and regional areas of Australia, the Shire experiences a large outflow of young adults once they leave school, usually heading to Ballarat or Melbourne for educational, employment and lifestyle reasons. The population structure of the Shire is generally ageing. It is projected that nearly 50% of the population will be over 50 years and nearly 35% will be over 60 years by 2026. Settlement Hepburn Shire has a reasonably dispersed population with a population density of 9.7 people per square kilometre. Growth is occurring in the five main townships of Daylesford, Creswick, Clunes, Trentham and Hepburn Springs, with the highest growth projected in Creswick. These towns are supported by smaller settlements such as Allendale, Glenlyon, Newlyn, Smeaton, Broomfield, Coomoora and Muskvale who all have strong physical and economic links to their larger nearby townships. The diversity of settlement patterns in the Shire offers a range of important lifestyle and development opportunities. Community facilities and services are located within the main service centres, though rural villages may include a public hall, general store, school and recreation reserve. Economic development Hepburn Shire has a reasonably diverse economic base and no one sector significantly dominates the economy. This broad based economic diversity provides Hepburn with some protection against economic downturn or reduced performance in any one sector. The Shire’s proximity and access to key population centres such as Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo allows industries convenient access to many markets. The Shire contains a significant commuting employment base. In 2006, approximately 43% of residents commuted to urban Ballarat, metropolitan Melbourne and other areas outside of Hepburn. Rural areas in the Shire contain high quality agricultural land that forms a significant agricultural region, which is part of Melbourne’s ‘food bowl’. This high value, productive land supports horticultural, grazing and other rural industries, and also has the potential for further development activities. Manufacturing and value adding industries are an important source of local employment. These industries are situated at rural locations and within the larger urban centres. MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT - CLAUSE 21.01 PAGE 2 OF 4 HEPBURN PLANNING SCHEME Tourism is also an important industry creating local employment opportunities in the hospitality, retail and service sectors. Hepburn Shire has established an enviable reputation as a key tourist destination, largely resulting from the attraction of the mineral springs, natural resources and environmental features located throughout the Shire. Retailing, community services, and recreational services also provide an increasing share of employment for the Shire’s population. The loss of ‘traditional’ industries, and significant growth in tourism and service sectors has created an employment profile and structure with less full time, permanent positions and an increase in more casual seasonal work. Agriculture and rural land The rural areas of the municipality form part of Melbourne’s hinterland, and agriculture and other rural industries are essential to the economic and social performance of the municipality and region. High quality agricultural land in the Shire has allowed for the diversification of agriculture with growth of non-traditional niche farming and boutique rural industries. Forestry and the maintenance of forest resources, is also a significant land use activity within the Shire. Infrastructure Generally water supply to urban areas is adequate across the Shire. Reticulated water supply is available within the towns of Allendale, Broomfield, Clunes, Creswick, Dean, Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, Kingston, Newlyn, Smeaton and Trentham. Clunes, Creswick, Trentham and Daylesford-Hepburn Springs are sewered. The lack of reticulated sewerage to other villages and rural settlements will constrain future development. Natural gas is also available Daylesford-Hepburn Springs and parts of Creswick. Hepburn Community Wind Farm, located at Leonards Hill 10km south of Daylesford, is a 4.1MW wind farm, estimated to produce 12,200 MWh of renewable energy annually. Environment Vegetation in the Shire is important for habitat, biodiversity, and landscape values and as a land and water management resource. Significant areas of public and private land remain forested or are the site of remnant grasslands and vegetation. The native vegetation of the Shire is impressive and diverse, from the tall forests of the Great Dividing Range through to the basalt plain grasslands of the Shire’s west. Important habitat areas are also located on significant roadsides, streams and associated riparian zones. Sustainability Council has set targets and initiatives to manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impact of climate change. Council is committed to encouraging best practice and improving the sustainability of development throughout the Shire especially in relation to energy initiatives, land use and transport. There are several active local sustainability and environment groups in the Shire involved in sustainability projects concerned retrofitting and sustainable building, food security and recycling. MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT - CLAUSE 21.01 PAGE 3 OF 4 HEPBURN PLANNING SCHEME Landscape and Character Hepburn Shire has many significant landscapes with both agricultural and environmental values. The eastern part of the Shire is elevated with high rainfall levels and significant state and native forest areas, including Wombat State Forest, Hepburn Regional Park, the Great Dividing Trail and the Upper Loddon Flora Reserve; it also has numerous remnant grasslands. The north and western part of the Shire contains the northern limit of the Victorian Plains Bioregion with a landscape consisting of basalt plains, scoria cones and medium to lower rainfall that supports broad acre farming. The character of many settlements of the Shire reflect the landscape of the historical patterns of development associated with indigenous heritage, early pastoral, 19th century gold rush, the agricultural industry and forestry. Cultural heritage The original inhabitants of the Hepburn area were the Dja Dja Wurrung Aboriginal people; Mt Franklin, a site of indigenous cultural significance lies within the Hepburn Shire. European settlement dates from the late 1830’s, with

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

  • 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 Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
