Sir, In accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 the Board has pleasure in submitting to you for presentation to Parliament the following report on its activities during the twelve months ended 30th June, 1972. MEETINGS The Board held 24 ordinary meetings and six special meetings during the period. BOARD MEMBERS The Sir James Barrett Memorial Medal, an annual award made by the Town and Country Planning Association for notable contributions to town planning in Victoria, was this year awarded to the Chairman of the Board, Mr. R. D. L. Fraser. The Board has great pleasure in noting that the Chairman's services to planning in this State have been so fittingly recognised and congratulates Mr. Fraser on the award. During the year the Government decided to send Mr. Fraser overseas for three months from 15th June, 1972 to study planning organisation at central government and regional levels with particular emphasis on administrative structure and measures designed to promote growth in selected urban areas and restrain it in others. Mr. Fraser will also study the management of resources for nature conservation and recreation in areas dose to large cities. He will visit the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada and the United States. The Deputy Chairman, Mr. H. W. Hein, was appointed Acting Chairman for the duration of Mr. Fraser's absence. The Board noted with pleasure that the Governor in Council had approved the re-appointment of Mr. A. C. Collins for a further period of two years to 26th June, 1974. LEGISLATION A Bill to amend the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 was presented to the Autumn Session of Parliament (1972). lt was passed by the Legislative Council and had its second reading in the Legislative Assembly but the House rose before the Bill could proceed further. The Bill is general in scope and covers a variety of matters which experience and the development of planning considerations have shown to be desirable. In the interests of efficient planning administration the Board is most anxious for the amendment to be passed at the earliest opportunity. Town and Country Planning Regulations During the year one amendment (No. 10) was made to the Regulations. This resulted from the proclamation of the remaining parts of the Urban Renewal Act 1970 which in turn amended Section 38 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1961 which deals with town planning certificates and the matters to be contained therein. The statutory rule deletes the Seventeenth Schedule to the Town and Country Planning Regulations and introduces a new schedule which requires that responsible authorities provide, in addition to the existing information contained in town planning certificates, information as to whether the land for which the certificate is sought is or is not within an area in respect of which the Governor in Council has authorised the preparation of an urban renewal proposal. The amending Regulation was approved by the Governor in Council on 14th December, 1971. Yarra River ac Warrandyte 7 STRATEGIC PLANNING STATE PLANNING COUNCIL Three new members were welcomed to the Councii-Mr. N. R. White (vice Sir Willis Connolly), Chairman, State Electricity Commission ; Mr. R. E. Donaldson (vice Mr. I. J. O'Donnell), Chairman, Country Roads Board and Mr. K. D. Green (vice Mr. A. G. Coulthard), Secretary, Premier's Department. The Council met four times during the year and considered the following major items: (a) draft statements of planning policy ; (b) a report to the Minister for Local Government on the feasibility of carrying out an investigation into the provision of access and services to French Island ; (c) a report from the State Planning Advisory Committee on the need for additional major airport facilities ; and (d) the decentralisation of activities of Government departments in Victoria and the rationalisation of the boundaries of regions used by Government departments and semi-government authorities. STATE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMIT'rEE The Committee met seven times and continued its investigations into an appropriate location for a second major airport. Information has been received from many Government departments and authorities and this is being evaluated. The Committee hopes to make a recommendation to the State Planning Council next year. STATEMENTS OF PLANNING POLICY Statement of Planning Policy No. 4 (River Yarra) was approved on 7th September, 1971. lt is a directive that the River Yarra and its immediate environs shall be planned primarily as an open space system for nature conservation and recreation with provision, where appropriate, for primary production and forestry. lt applies to the River Yarra, its immediate environs and to the whole of the catchment east of Warrandyte. REGIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITIES Western Port Regional Planning Authority As the first regional planning authority established under the 1968 legislation, the Authority is under constant surveillance and its mode of operation and planning techniques are likely to influence profoundly the development of regional planning throughout the State. The first two statements of planning policy apply to this region. The Authority has now proposed a boundary for the area on the mainland to which Statement of Planning Policy No. I shall apply. Announced in December, 1971, the proposal defines an area of 16,400 acres outside which no heavy industrial development will be considered. The Authority is currently preparing guidelines for the control of development within the area but has not committed itself to specific zon i ngs. Prop-:Jsals for the future use of the area wi 11 be based largely on the findings of the Western Port Bay Environment Study. The Authority has continued to apply stringent conditions to all industrial permits issued. These conditions ensure that all emissions of waste and noise from industrial operations are strictly controlled to avoid pollution of the environment. The Authority also insists on landscaping to enable the visual integration of industrial development with the landscape required by the statements of planning policy. Progress has also been made with the implementation of Statement of Planning Policy No. 2. The Authority has proposed a tree preservation policy to apply to most of the Mornington Peninsula to help maintain the attractive landscape without which, the Peninsula's recreation value would be seriously diminished. The Authority has made every endeavour to afford the public the greatest possible opportunity to participate in the planning process. From the outset of its operations, the Authority has made full use of its power to set up technical advisory committees and in this way has not only received technical assistance but has provided an opportunity for many interested groups and sectors of the community to be represented in the planning organisation for the area. By opening its reports on the proposed industrial boundaries to public comment for six months, the Authority has involved the public in the very early stages of the preparation of planning proposals. The Board regards this as particularly 8 commendable in a situation where planning has been the subject of controversy and the action of the Authority consistently misrepresented. The Board has always considered that the public should be given adequate opportunity to participate in planning but this voice cannot be effective unless the community is well informed. Geelong Regional Planning Authority As a preliminary to the preparation of the regional planning scheme, the Authority recently commissioned a consultant to carry out a regional environment and land resources study. lt has also commenced several other studies. Because of the rapid increase in the extent and number of subdivisions in rural areas of allotments of 5 acres or less, the Authority is investigating the need for greater subdivisional control. To give more control until the study is finalised, the Governor in Council on 23rd May, 1972 approved an interim development order for the whole of the region except those parts within what is generally known as the Greater Geelong urban complex. The order requires that all subdivision is subject to a permit. To control multi-dwelling units, the Governor in Council on 21st September, 1971, under Section 32 (6) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1961, approved an amendment to the Geelong Planning Scheme 1959, the Lara Planning Scheme 1961 and the Barrabool Planning Scheme 1966 to make flats and residential buildings subject to a permit and to such conditions as the responsible authority thinks fit. To assist member Councils, the Authority has prepared and circulated a code of residential planning standards. The Authority also continued to give assistance with local planning matters and to work with member Councils in reviewing all planning proposals sponsored by them. The Board's Assistant Secretary, Mr. H. R. Trotter, is Acting Secretary of the Authority. STRATEGIC STUDIES The Board's strategic planning studies are being undertaken in a State-wide context and can be grouped into three basic programmes.

  • Shepparton, Victoria
    Full version of case study (3 of 3) featured in the Institute for the Study of Social Change’s Insight Report Nine: Regional population trends in Tasmania: Issues and options. Case study 3: Shepparton, Victoria Prepared by Institute for the Study of Social Change Researcher Nyree Pisanu Shepparton is a region in Victoria, Australia with a total population of 129,971 in 2016 (ABS, 2019). The Shepparton region includes three local government areas, including Greater Shepparton, Campaspe and Moira. In 2016, the regional city of Shepparton-Mooroopna had a population of 46,194. The Greater City of Shepparton had a population of 65,078 in 2018, with an average growth rate of 1.14% since 2011. The median age in Shepparton is 42.2 and the unemployment rate is 5.7%. In 2016, There were more births than deaths (natural increase= 557) and in-migration exceeded out- migration (net migration = 467). Therefore, natural increase is driving Shepparton’s population growth (54%). Economic profile The Shepparton region is located around 180kms north of Melbourne (Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, 2016). The region is known as the Shepparton Irrigation Region as it is located on the banks of the Goulburn river, making it an ideal environment for food production (Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, 2016). Shepparton’s top three agricultural commodities are sheep, dairy and chickens (ABS, 2019). The region is at the heart of the ‘food bowl of Australia’, also producing fruit and vegetables. The region also processes fruit, vegetables and dairy through large processing facilities for both consumption and export (Regional Development Victoria, 2015).
