City of Greater Geelong Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM PART I-PRELIMINARY Clause 1 states the purposes of the Act, which are to restructure certain councils in the Geelong region, constitute the City of Greater Geelong and abolish the Geelong Regional Commission. The Greater Geelong City Council will replace six existing councils and its municipal district will incorporate part of the district of the Shire of Bannockbum and part of the district of the Barrabool Shire Council. The Councils which will be replaced by the Greater Geelong City Council are Bellarine Rural City Council, City of Geelong, City of Geelong West, City of Newtown, City of South Barwon and Shire of Corio. Clause 2 states that with the exception of section 24, the Act comes into operation on the day it receives Royal Assent. Clause 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Act. Most of the new arrangements are to take effect on the "appointed day" which is defined to be the day on which the Bill receives Royal Assent. Clause 4 states that the Act must be construed as one with the Local Government Act 1989 but that in the case of any inconsistency this Act prevails. PART 2-CITY OF GREATER GEELONG Clause 5 provides for the constitution of a City Council by the name of the Greater Geelong City Council, for the councils to be replaced to go out of existence and for Commissioners to administer the new Council as if they were the elected Councillors of the Council.

  • Buckley Falls Park
    BUCKLEY FALLS PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENT AUGUST 1991 33?·. 1: .$!) ~ t. i FOREWORD Buckley Falls Park is one of Geelong's prime conservation and recreation areas although this has not always been recognised. Despite its proximity to the centre of Geelong and its significant recreational potential only a relatively small proportion of local residents, let alone visitors to the region, are aware of the area. This Management Plan aims to raise the profile of Buckley Falls Park to ensure that its natural, cultural and recreational values are managed in a balanced way for the benefit of the community. Through the implementation of this Plan, the conservation and recreation corridor along the Barwon River will be extended thereby further enhancing Geelong's open space system. This Management Plan has been prepared by a number of organisations and individuals and I thank them for thetr efforts and a fine result. The Plan recognises and documents the great natural, historical, recreational and landscape values of the Park. It proposes detailed management actions of varying levels of priority for implementation. · The Plan provides a set of long-term guidelines for the management of all aspects of the Park. It is recommended that the existing Committees of Management and any future Committees with responsibility for the area adopt the Plan in principle to ensure that the Park is conserved while allowing for a balance of uses. There is much goodwill in the general community at an organisational, individual This Management Plan was prepared by: and corporate level for the management of the area.

VICtORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Report of the REGISTRAR for the Year ended 30 June 1985 Ordered by the Legislative Assembly to be printed MELBOURNE F D ATKINSON GOVERNMENT PRINTER 1986 No. 76 VICfORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Fortieth Annual Report on the Registrar Financial year ended 30 June 1985 The Honourable the Minister of Housing This report, which is submitted pursuant to section 71 of the Co-operative Housing Societies Act 1958 (No. 6226), covers the financial year ended 30 June 1985. A brief statistical summary of some of the operations of co-operative housing societies, to the close of the year under review, is presented in a supplement to this report. The summary is necessarily brief as staff and time constraints have considerably reduced the volume of statistical information collected and details gleaned from various Australian Bureau of Statistics Bulletins are unavailable at the time of preparation of the report. REGISfRAR'S STATEMENT The year to June, 1985, was again one of great change for financial institutions and co-operative housing societies took part in these developments. The deregulation of the banking sector continued with the Federal Treasurer announcing that 16 major foreign financial institutions had been invited to make application for licences to operate banks in Australia. It was quite clear that, although not all had commenced operations, the spectre they raised was having a marked effect on the existing banks as they positioned themselves to prepare for the new entrants. This was best seen in extensive advertising campaigns, the aggressive search for funds and other measures to raise their corporate profile and operations.
