Case Study Organization City of Greater Geelong Location Victoria, Australia Industry 3D Mapping Taking 3D Models to the Streets The city of Greater Geelong, in Victoria, Australia, is located 75 kilometers southwest of Melbourne.

To combat this, the city capture practices and staff used Esri® ArcGIS® and Esri partner earthmine’s 3D street-level imagery saved the city hundreds to capture and quality check the road sign assets.

All verification was done in the office, rather than in the field, using ArcGIS and the earthmine for ArcGIS add-in. Andrew Downie The city saved money while improving safety and efficiency by allowing staff Manager, Information Services City of Greater Geelong to remotely view a 3D city model to document assets. Do I need this? Using a single dataset, a number of departments within the city collaborated, allowing staff to focus on core business activities instead of maintaining and interpreting traditional street-level image capture. Supplementing 2D maps with earthmine’s 3D street-level imagery provides an intuitive way to view and analyze information for better decisions. For more information, visit esri.com/3D&lidar.

Transporting Melbourne's Recovery
Transporting Melbourne’s Recovery Immediate policy actions to get Melbourne moving January 2021 Executive Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how Victorians make decisions for when, where and how they travel. Lockdown periods significantly reduced travel around metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria due to travel restrictions and work-from-home directives. As Victoria enters the recovery phase towards a COVID Normal, our research suggests that these travel patterns will shift again – bringing about new transport challenges. Prior to the pandemic, the transport network was struggling to meet demand with congested roads and crowded public transport services. The recovery phase adds additional complexity to managing the network, as the Victorian Government will need to balance competing objectives such as transmission risks, congestion and stimulating greater economic activity. Governments across the world are working rapidly to understand how to cater for the shifting transport demands of their cities – specifically, a disruption to entire transport systems that were not designed with such health and biosecurity challenges in mind. Infrastructure Victoria’s research is intended to assist the Victorian Government in making short-term policy decisions to balance the safety and performance of the transport system with economic recovery. The research is also designed to inform decision-making by industry and businesses as their workforces return to a COVID Normal. It focuses on how the transport network may handle returning demand and provides options to overcome the crowding and congestion effects, while also balancing the health risks posed by potential local transmission of the virus. Balancing these impacts is critical to fostering confidence in public transport travel, thereby underpinning and sustaining Melbourne’s economic recovery.

Extending Out-Of-Home Care in the State of Victoria, Australia: the Policy Context and Outcomes
Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care Volume 20.1 Extending out-of-home care in the state of Victoria, Australia: The policy context and outcomes Philip Mendes Abstract In November 2020, the State (Labour Party) Government of Victoria in Australia announced that it would extend out-of-home care (OOHC) on a universal basis until 21 years of age starting 1 January 2021. This is an outstanding policy innovation introduced in response to the Home Stretch campaign, led by Anglicare Victoria, to urge all Australian jurisdictions to offer extended care programmes until at least 21 years. It also reflects the impact of more than two decades of advocacy by service providers, researchers, and care experienced young people (Mendes, 2019). Keywords Care experience, out-of-home care, aftercare, care leaving, extended care, staying put, Australia Corresponding author: Philip Mendes, Associate Professor, Monash University Department of Social Work, [email protected] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care ISSN 1478 – 1840 CELCIS.ORG Extending out-of-home care in the state of Victoria, Australia: The policy context and outcomes Background Australia has a federal out-of-home care (OOHC) system by which transition from care policy and practice differs according to the specific legislation and programmes in the eight states and territories. In June 2019, there were nearly 45,000 children in OOHC nationally of whom the majority (92 per cent in total) were either in relative/kinship care or foster care. Only about six per cent lived in residential care homes supervised by rostered staff.

Volcanoes in SW Victoria & SE South Australia
Volcanoes in SW Victoria & SE South Australia June 2005. The volcanic plains of western Victoria form a belt 100 km wide which extends 350 km west from Melbourne nearly to the South Australian border. In addition, several volcanoes occur near Mt. Gambier. The gently undulating plains are formed of lava flows up to 60 m thick, and are studded with volcanic hills. About 400 volcanoes are known within the region, which has been erupting intermittently for the last five million years. The youngest volcano appears to be Mt. Schank, in South Australia, which erupted about 5,000 years ago. The Aborigines would have watched this and some of the other eruptions, and they have stories of burning mountains. Further eruptions could happen, but are not likely in our lifetimes. Volcanoes erupt when molten material (called magma, in this state at about 1200°C) is forced up from great depths. On reaching the surface this may flow across the ground as lava, or be blasted into the air by gas pressure to build up cones of fragmentary material (including scoria and ash). Most of the local volcanoes erupted for only a few weeks or months, and never again – the next eruption was at a new site. In the Western District there are mainly three types of volcano, though combinations of these also occur: About half of the volcanoes are small steep-sided scoria cones built from frothy lava fragments thrown up by lava fountains. A group of about 40 maar craters near the coast were formed from shallow steam-driven explosions that produced broad craters with low rims.

Australia's System of Government
61 Australia’s system of government Australia is a federation, a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. This means that Australia: Has a Queen, who resides in the United Kingdom and is represented in Australia by a Governor-General. Is governed by a ministry headed by the Prime Minister. Has a two-chamber Commonwealth Parliament to make laws. A government, led by the Prime Minister, which must have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. Has eight State and Territory Parliaments. This model of government is often referred to as the Westminster System, because it derives from the United Kingdom parliament at Westminster. A Federation of States Australia is a federation of six states, each of which was until 1901 a separate British colony. The states – New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania - each have their own governments, which in most respects are very similar to those of the federal government. Each state has a Governor, with a Premier as head of government. Each state also has a two-chambered Parliament, except Queensland which has had only one chamber since 1921. There are also two self-governing territories: the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The federal government has no power to override the decisions of state governments except in accordance with the federal Constitution, but it can and does exercise that power over territories. A Constitutional Monarchy Australia is an independent nation, but it shares a monarchy with the United Kingdom and many other countries, including Canada and New Zealand. The Queen is the head of the Commonwealth of Australia, but with her powers delegated to the Governor-General by the Constitution.
