SERVICES 68 I I I I I I --- ------ I I INTRODUCTION I I Background Early in 1973, the Australian Government joined with the Governments of Victoria and New South Wales in promoting the development .of Albury­ I Wodonga as a major .population centre. The target population for the complex was set at 300, 000 by the year 2000, · A number of major I initiatives have been taken since then~ to .rea1i:i.se that objective. Present plans .indicate that the cities of Wodonga and Albury will absorb substantially increased populations as the growth of the Albury-Wodonga I complex proceeds. It has been agreed specifically .that Wodonga should grow from its present ·population of 12,000 .to accommodate a total population of 45,000. The 'l'own and Country Planning Board has prepared .I a report to this 'effect and the' reccnmnendations contained in it .have been accepted by both the Wodonga Council and the Planning :Co-ordination I Committee for the Albury-Wodonga project. Prior to 'the announcement of the Albury-Wodonga growth proposals; Wodonga had long been recognised by .the Victorian Government as a town I with"considerable .potential for the location of decentralized industries and population. In ·r'ecent years the co~bined· efforts of the Wodonga Council and·the Victorian Department of State Development have stimulated I substantial growth .in employment and popula~ion in Wodonga and, as a result, the city has expanded to the effective limits of its present . planning scheme. These current growth pressures, together with those that will occur as a result of the growth of Albury-Wodonga, have I necessitated the preparation of a new Development Plan for Wodonga. I The Development Plan is described in this report, and has two major functions: I It will provide the conceptual basis for a formal Planning Scheme ·to be prepared in the near future. In the interim it provides a working basis for the Board's and I Council's assessments of individual' development applications: I A significant product of the Plan :Pas been the definition of a new Wodonga City Boundary. Within this proposed boundary the Wodonga Council will continue·to exercise its normal planning powers vis a vis I the proposed Albury"'.'Wodonga Development Corporation. Within the boundary the Corporation will act, in effect, as a norma.l developer and will conform to planning regulations laid down· by the Wodonga Council. I - 1 - I I I Preparation of the Plan I In preparing the Development Plan, the Consultants proceeded from a number of assumptions provided.by the Town and Country Planning Board. They are as follows: I That Wodo!).ga initially develop as a self-contained city with the context of the.. overall Albury-Wodo:nga project. I That Wodonga grow to a maximum population of 45,000. That the Wodonga Development Plan be compatible with long term proposals· for the Albury-Wodonga.region - insofar as these proposals are.known or foreshadowed at this time. That the Plan provide environmentally imaginati~e and sensitive solutions to Wodonga's physical growth and development problems • I . : The major steps taken in preparing the plan were: I Interviews with a wide range of organisations and individuals including members and officers of the Board; officers of the Shire of Wodonga, residents and business people. 0f Wodon'ga, Victorian I servi~e authorities and State Government Departments, and a number: of-Australian G0vernment Departments (a complete listing of organisations- contacted is _contained in Appendix A). I Compilation of a comprehensive cadastral and topographical base plan. Collation of all relevant maps, data and standards required for preparation of the plan. I .. Assessment of community aspirations and needs and of current problems and prospects within Wodonga. I Assessment of physical constraints to further development, and, based on population and employment projections, assessment 0f future demand for land and facilities. I L . Preparation and evaluation 0f alternative deve+opment plans leading to the proposed plan. I ··.' During the course of preparation of the Plan, draft proposals were reviewed by the Board, the Planning Co~ordination Committee, and the Wodonga Council.. .. , .. -- I I I - 2 - I I I I I I I I I I I Reduced Planning Area Proposed Wodonga City Boundary I Road Railway I River Local Government Boundaries I I I I O 2 4 8 12 16 km ~ CONTOUR INTERVAL 100 m I I 1 I ALBURY · WODONGA I REGION I. I The Plan·was prepared in a relatively sho~t period, and thus cannot be claimed to be·accurate or.definitive in every respect• It ·is likely I that planning for the overall Albury-Wodonga complex may be facilitated by minor modifications to the Wodonga Plan. However the objectives and proposals outlined in this report should continue.to provide a firm I guide .to the future character. an~:.fo~m o'f. Wodonga. ... I · Organisation o·f. the Report This report comprises the Development;: Plan and is 0rganised in six I sections. Secti0ns 1 to 5 provide broad backgreund·information and describe the majer planning proposals. Section 6 contains more.detailed descriptions.of individual .. elements of the plan together with assumptions I and supporting information. I Immediate .. Action It is suggested that .this report.be made·available by the. Board and the I , Wodonga Coun~il to State GQvernment instrumentatalities concerned·with implementa~ion ef elements of the plan, and to local groups and citizens in Wod.onga. Their comments arid suggestions should be sought formally I and in~ormally and : the Planning Scheme ·modified accordingly. If as·a result of these consultations, the.proposals in· this report receive-general approval, then it ·is recommended that prepa~ation of-.a fotmal·scheme for.exhibition sheuld proceed as soon as·possible. I I I I I I I - 3 - .I I I 2.· HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT I The Wodortga District has long been a pleasant and popular living place; first for.the Aboriginal tribes resident in the area and, more recently, I for European.settlers. According to.early reports, a tribe of about· two hundred.Aborigines held the area from Wodonga.to·Yarrawonga.as· . their te~ritory. They identified the area now occµpied by the city of. • . y I I Wodo~ga from the river flat plant life, calling it Wodonga ; meaning "an edible plant growing in a lagoon". I The first contact in the district between the two cµltµres, Aboriginal and Europeall, occurred with the arrival of Hume and Hovell.in 1824. The explorers.crossed the river which they named the Hume.(later renamed I the Murray) upstream from Wodonga. By 1835, pastoral occupation had spread to the district which was amongst I the earliest.settled areas.in what later became Victoria. In 1835 Mr. ·William Wyse established the Mangabareena and Bonegilla cattle tuns· for Mr. Charles Ebden.of Sydney. He was clo~ely followed by Mr. Ch~rles I Huon de Kerilleau who established the Wodonga.run fo+ his brother-Paul. The f~rst home$tead was built on.the south bank.of the Wodonga Creek, and Huon leased~ large ?rea of the surrounding country including the:area on I which Wodonga now stands.. The early village which grew on the south side of the Murray crossing was.first known as Huon, later as.Belvoir and .fin~lly as Wodonga. I By 1845 ?· road had been built linking Melbourne and Sydney so making Wodonga an:obvious stopping place.before undertaking the river crossing~ I The Murray could be forded at low water in the su1!llller time but.as traffic betweert .. Sydney and MelbourtJ,e grew, a.punt.was installed and la~er.a bridge with toll gateso I In the early 1850's Wodonga became·known as a 1 postal township' and a Revenue Officer,w~s placed in the town to.collect border duty.

ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.

  • The Espy (Hotel Esplanade), 11 the Esplanade, St Kilda
    14 The Espy (Hotel Esplanade), 11 The Esplanade, St Kilda Just in time for the opening of the rail connection to St Kilda in 1857, the New Bath Hotel opened in that year on this site. Its orientation facing the beach and its name referring also to that English Eighteenth Century resort town par excellence both evoked pleasure. Bath in Somerset was a fashionable hot springs spa for almost two thousand years, the first resort attractive for social élan rather than just for health: it was social pleasure personified. St Kilda’s New (bathing) Bath was not to open for another three years. But the owner of the new hotel, the Honourable James Stewart Johnston co-owner of the Argus newspaper (1843-52) and sometimes its acting manager, MLC for St Kilda, alderman of the City of Melbourne and councillor of the Shire of Bulla, was not going to wait around. It had 22 bedrooms, six sitting rooms and a bar, surrounded by over a hectare of formal gardens: ‘tea gardens, to which will be added two bowling alleys upon the American principle, a large quoiting ground, throwing the hammer and a Esplanade Hotel in 1881 showing the three former terraced houses. 1 variety of other amusements.’ It was known for the quality of its food and its genteel patrons. That November the New Bath Hotel hosted an exhibition for the St Kilda Horticultural Society, including ’choice specimens of geraniums, fuchsias and pansies,’ and the 40th Regiment military band played music. Perhaps the Argus’s report is the first ever of a musical performance at The Espy, over 150 years ago.

  • Albury's First 30 Years
    ALBURY’S FIRST 30 YEARS The first white men to discover the Albury region were the explorers Hume and Hovell. The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser of Thursday, February 10, 1825 reported: We hasten to lay before our Readers an extract of the Journal that was kept by our Australian travellers (Messrs. Hovell and Hume), during their late adventures in the interior of this unknown and interesting country. We are satisfied no ordinary gratification will be excited on a perusal:— .... we resumed our route to the South-West and proceed until the 16th, when we reached the banks of a river situate in latitude 36o 15’ South. This river, which we named “Hume’s River,” takes its rise from the snow mountains, and is about 100 yards in breadth, and deep, the banks about 10 feet above the level of the water, but apparently overflowed in times of flood; the stream running about three or four miles, per hour, in a West to North-West direction. On the 20th we crossed to the South banks of the river by means of a boat made from a few sticks and a tarpaulin, and on the 21st we continued our journey through a country interspersed with swamps and lagoons .... http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/2183722 The First Station In October 1835, William Wyse drove the first cattle from Yass, acting for Charles Ebden, established a station at Mungabareena and built a hut near the present Waterworks. Soon afterwards he crossed the river to establish Bonegilla station for Ebden.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Set up in a former army camp, Block 19 Bonegilla was a part of the Bonegilla Reception and Training Centre which operated between 1947 and 1971. Australia has a very long history of migration. The settlement in Australia of migrants from Europe after the Second World War has had a major impact on the nation's economy, society and culture. Post-war immigration is considered to be an important factor in shaping the nation. It completely changed the composition and size of the Australian population and is responsible for the second largest demographic change in the nation's history. The largest change in Australia's history was the gold rush migration of 1851-1860. Bonegilla was the largest and longest operating migrant reception and training centre of the post-war era.

  • A Potted History of North East Victoria
    A Potted History Of North East Victoria Based on Vision & Realisation A Centenary History of State Education in Victoria Volume 3 Education Department of Victoria 1973 edited by Graham J Lee 1North of Rutherglen in the Gooramadda-Howlong area, Major Mitchell had crossed the Murray River on his return journey to Sydney in 1836. Even prior to Mitchell, squatters had moved into Victoria further upstream. In 1835, Mackillop and Macfarlane moved up the Mitta Mitta tributary to establish a run further south in Lake Omeo district. Charles Ebden was the first to take up a run in the north-east; during 1835 he established the Mungabareena run on the north bank of the Murray at the present site of Albury. Within weeks Ebden had crossed the Murray and established the Bonegilla run on the flats between the Mitta and Little River (Kiewa). With Ebden were William Wyse and James Gullifer; the latter established a run just south of Rutherglen in 1844. During Mitchells 1836 trek, Spalding attempted to settle Thologolong on the Murray above the junction with the Mitta Mitta; Vardy moved into this run in 1837 because Spalding had been forced to retreat temporarily when aborigines killed two of his men. West of that run, Waite took up Bungil, east of Mt Granya, with Jobbins at Talgarno, further west on the banks of the Mitta Mitta junction and Cobham to the south along that tributary at Wagra. Down the Murray past the Bonegilla run and the Kiewa tributary, Charles Huon squatted at Wodonga and in 1837 built the Baranduda homestead.
