A small cross section of organisations and Council associated activities:- During the preparation of Council's Community Plan some years ago, the matter Aquatic Centre Sub-Committee of traffic was identified as a major concern. There was little doubt that in terms Crs. Caffyn, Corr, Milton and Rosewarne of Council responsibilities, it is probably the issue which troubles residents most. Bicentennial Committee During 1989, it is expected that the State Covernment will announce its plans for Cr. Nardella the extension of the Eastern Freeway as an arterial road from Doncaster to Blue Light Disco Committee Ringwood. Alone, this will substantially increase the traffic congestion in the Crs. Fraser and Wilkins shopping centre. Council has argued very strongly that the bypass proposed Central Ringwood Community Centre along the Mullum Creek Valley is the most appropriate option for reducing Cr. Milton existing and future congestion along Maroondah Highway. City of Ringwood Band Cr. Cardini The bypass and arterial road to Doncaster are seen as vital to the success of Eastern Volunteer Resource Centre Inc. Ringwood as a Regional Centre and to enhance the quality of life for its Cr. Milton residents. Frail Aged Committee of "Lionsbrae" The State Government's planning strategy for managing retail and commercial Crs. Wilkins and Corr development throughout Melbourne has provided a great opportunity for A.G. Lavis Pavilion Management Ringwood residents. The policy translates into facilities which will serve a Committee regional population approaching 400,000 available in our local area. Council, in Cr. Dineen managing the development of the area, is taking steps to limit the adverse North Ringwood Community Centre impact of these major facilities on Ringwood whilst recognising the regional Cr. Fraser Outer Eastern Municipalities Association responsibilities it has under the State Government policy. Cr. Rosewarne Already, Council has adopted a District Centre Structure Plan.

    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 402 Request to be heard?: No, but please email me th Full Name: Phil Turner Organisation: Maroondah City Council Affected property: Attachment 1: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 2: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 3: Comments: To the North East Link Inquiry & Advisory Committee (IAC) Maroondah Council provides the following submission to the IAC, in relation to the EES for the North East Link project. While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.

  • Eastlink to Open on 29 June - Five Months Early
    12 May 2008 EASTLINK TO OPEN ON 29 JUNE - FIVE MONTHS EARLY ConnectEast, the owner and operator of EastLink, yesterday confirmed to the Victorian Government that it will deliver the $2.5 billion motorway on 29 June 2008 – on-budget and five months ahead of time. To celebrate the completion of this landmark Public Private Partnership project and to encourage motorist familiarisation, ConnectEast announced the first four weeks of operation will be toll-free. ConnectEast also revealed plans to host a community open day on Sunday 15 June to give people a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk, run or cycle on the road before it opens to traffic. Managing Director, John Gardiner, said the opening of EastLink (and the untolled Ringwood Bypass) well ahead of the 30 November contract date demonstrated the capacity of the private sector to accelerate the delivery of massive projects. “Over the life of this construction ConnectEast has averaged $59 million expenditure per month, including five consecutive months when expenditure exceeded $100 million,” Mr Gardiner said. “This demonstrates the capacity of the private sector, with the support of government, to harness all the necessary resources to make big infrastructure projects a reality in the shortest possible time. “EastLink is already generating an economic and population boom in Melbourne’s outer east and south-east, with businesses and residents re-locating to make the most of the motorway. “EastLink will mean safer driving plus time and fuel savings every day for many thousands of Victorians. The road will revolutionise the lives of people living and working in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs by providing a high- quality uninterrupted north-south transport corridor from Mitcham to Frankston.

  • Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan
    BLACKBURN CREEKLANDS MASTER PLAN September 2002 Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan OVERVIEW Information from a range of sources has been compiled for the Blackburn Creeklands to build a picture of the park and of its past and present management. This background information acknowledges the community‟s close association with the Creeklands, the value that the community places on each of the three parks in the chain, the efforts of the Blackburn Creeklands Advisory Committee and improvements undertaken by Council. Relevant strategies and policy documents provide a City-wide and regional context for the Master Plan. In addition, a study of flora, fauna and habitat by Practical Ecology Pty Ltd was commissioned specifically for the Master Plan (refer Appendix A) and is a major component of the Plan. The recent study of Gardiners Creek by Ove Arup for Melbourne Water is also highly relevant to the future directions for the Creeklands. The site analysis considers the separate components that make up the Creeklands. It provides a detailed description of existing conditions for each component across the whole park and from this, key issues and opportunities for improvement are highlighted. Broadly, the site analysis covers the following: Environmental elements . Vegetation, fauna and habitat . The creek . Visual attributes, such as terrain and landscape character The park user . Park facilities, particularly access trails, entrance treatments, fencing and car parking, as well as playgrounds, lighting and seats. Activities, visitor needs, park interpretation and community education . Heritage interests Property management . Leases, tenant groups, adjoining land and other general property matters. The objectives of the Master Plan are intended to reflect those matters that are important to the community, Council and other key stakeholders.

BUILDING SOCIETIES (PRUDENTIAL STANDARDS) BILL (No. 2) Introduction andfirst reading Received from Assembly. Read first time on motion of Hon. M. A. L YSTER (Minister for Local Government). MINERAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT BILL Introduction and first reading Received from Assembly. Read first time on motion of Hon. D. R. WHITE (Minister for Industry and Economic Planning). QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE OVERSEAS STUDENTS Hon. M. A. BIRRELL (East Yarra)-I refer the Minister for Education to the statement he made in the House last Thursday, 15 November, when he stated that the reason the Ministry of Education had been advertising for overseas students without legal authority was that it was necessary to make preparations to enrol those students in 1991. I therefore ask: why was it that in September 1989 Ministry of Education officials went to Hong Kong, Taipei, Malaysia, Singapore and Papua New Guinea to recruit students for government schools, when in June 1989 the Minister was informed that the Education Act would have to be amended to allow the enrolment of fee­ paying students in government schools? Hon. B. T. PULLEN (Minister for Education)-As I understand it, as part of the program of preparation in that period the Ministry of Education was making investigations that required contact being made with people overseas. In terms of the current situation it is true that the Education Act in Victoria differs from Acts in other States and requires amendment in order to provide for the full charging of fees, although some charges apply without any change to the legislation being necessary.

  • Human Services Normal V2.1
    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.
