    Citation No: City of Port Phillip Heritage Review 2276 Identifier Scullin house Formerly Unknown Pool St Farrell Princes St Stokes St Nott St Liardet St Heritage Precinct Overlay HO1 Heritage Overlay(s) Address 63 Farrell St Category Residential:detached PORT MELBOURNE Constructed 1919 Designer unknown Amendment C 29 Comment Significance (Mapped as a Significant heritage property.) The house at 63 Farrell Street, Pt Melbourne is significant to the City because: it is an externally well preserved Federation Bungalow style house built for a railways employee, one of the large employers in the locality. Primary Source Andrew Ward, City of Port Phillip Heritage Review, 1998 Other Studies Description This is a weatherboard Federation Bungalow style house, late in date for the style, with a gabled bay projecting from the main Dutch-hipped roof section of the house. The gable end is enriched with a stylised plant motif while the bullnose and ogee profile verandahs have been decorated with cast-iron brackets and friezes. Although the some of the timber frame of the verandah appears potentially early the mouldings, iron, and roofing have been replaced in a sympathetic form; the verandah floor has been replaced. Chimneys are the typical red brick shaft with stucco detail at the top. The front door has lead lighting and the lower wall boarding is in a narrow chamfer form. A new but related timber picket front fence has been erected and the plantings, such as the palms, are related to the house construction date. Condition: good (partially disturbed, well preserved) Integrity: substantially intact/some intrusions Context: In a row of mixed detached housing with a Victorian-era villa adjoining: faces the government school complex which has buildings of a similar era.

    Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS Victoria section Best known location: Malvern Town Hall (Melbourne) Compton theatre organ 3 manuals, 17 ranks Console came from organ originally in Astoria theatre, Old Kent Road, London, England. Pipework is of mixed origins. Malvern is a suburb 7.5km southeast of the Melbourne CBD. The impressive Town Hall on the corner of High Street and Glenferrie Road is a jewel in the crown of the local government area known as the City of Stonnington, and the building is also known as the Stonnington City Centre. It was built in 1885-6, late Victorian and Italianate in style. The clock tower was added in 1890, and council chambers and a portico in Glenferrie Road were added in 1927. It is regarded as being aesthetically and historically significant in heritage terms. The main auditorium (or ballroom) has a vaulted ceiling and pendant lighting; there is a rear gallery. Seating capacity is about 600. In 1994 the City of Malvern and most of the City of Prahran were amalgamated to become the City of Stonnington. The 3 manuals 17 ranks Compton organ now installed in the Malvern Town Hall is owned by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia (Victoria division). Members David Cross and Norm McClure had purchased a 3 manual Compton console that had been one of twin consoles at the Astoria theatre, Old Kent Road, London, England, together with 5 ranks of pipes; these had been further acquired by Frank Douglas, and imported by him. In July 1969 TOSA decided to purchase these from Douglas.

    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.
