  • 21.02 OVERVIEW of the YARRIAMBIACK SHIRE Yarriambiack
    LOCAL PROVISION YARRIAMBIACK PLANNING SCHEME 21.02 OVERVIEW OF THE YARRIAMBIACK SHIRE Yarriambiack Shire is located in the north-western part of Victoria. The Shire was created on 19th January 1995 following the restructure of the Shire of Karkarooc, the Shire of Dunmunkle, the Shire of Warracknabeal, and the Shire of Wimmera. The Shire has an area of 7,158 square kilometres which extends from the Wimmera River, just north of the Grampians in the south to the centre of the Mallee in the north. The Shire’s estimated population in 1996 was 9,077 persons. More than two-thirds of the population live in urban centres above 200 people. Approximately 2,671 people live in Warracknabeal, the largest town in the Shire. The main employment sectors within the Shire are agriculture, community services, and wholesale and retail trade. These industries are major components of the economy of the Shire and are very important in the service role of the smaller townships. Most townships within the Yarriambiack Shire have excellent community and sporting facilities which have the potential for hosting special events. Yarriambiack contains significant areas of Mallee Parks and reserved Public Lands which protect some of the least disturbed Mallee ecosystems in Australia. High quality areas of cultural, historical and conservation value include Wyperfeld National Park, Paradise Flora and Fauna Reserve, Outlet Creek, Wathe Flora and Fauna Reserve and Albacutya Reserve. These parks and public reserved lands contain outstanding areas of semi-arid wilderness and large areas of Mallee stands in south eastern mainland Australia. Some of the key elements and trends which impact on Yarriambiack Shire are: Agriculture is the major employer in the Shire and is worth $165m.

  • 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.

  • A Tool Kit … for Assisting Australia’S Country Towns and Communities
    A Tool Kit … for assisting Australia’s country towns and communities with understanding and addressing longer-term climate change impacts CENTRE FOR HOUSING, URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING Professor Andrew Beer • Dr Selina Tually • Mr Michael Kroehn • Professor John Martin Professor Rolf Gerritsen • Professor Mike Taylor • Dr Michelle Graymore • Ms Julia Law • Ms Sandy Horne Purpose of this document Rural and regional Australia is often defined by its adaptability and innovation. Rural and regional communities have demonstrated over many decades that they have the capability to respond to many challenges. These include, natural disasters, drought and the broad consequences of changing productivity and commodity markets, as well as globalisation and deregulation. Climate change presents rural and regional Australia with an additional hurdle. And, along with economic, social and environmental pressures, provides a new and more substantial barrier that carries with it intergenerational impacts that could change the way life exists in rural and regional Australia. This Tool Kit provides a step-by-step guide for organisations in rural and regional Australia to consider the future in the face of climate change, and to start thinking about climate change impacts and adaptation. Organisations that will find this Tool Kit useful include: • Regional Development Australia Committees • Local environment authorities • Community Councils • Industry Associations – including business, traders’ and main street associations, tourism associations, chambers of commerce • Non-government organisations, including o local environment groups (e.g. Landcare) o local development associations o local Indigenous community groups/organisations. The Tool Kit has been designed to assist community organisations to tap into Federal, State and local government to leverage resources in order to address climate change.
