It occupies an area of 8,000 square kilometres with a population of 6981 people – less than one person per square kilometre. The main townships within the Shire are: Birchip, Charlton, Donald, Sea Lake and Wycheproof. Agriculture, specifically grain production, is the primary source of income and employment in the area. Other forms of farming, education, retail, community service sectors and light industry also provide employment and income. Buloke Shire Council 2006/2007 Annual Report 3 MAYOR’S REPORT It is a surprisingly difficult task to look back over a twelve month period and select just a few of the many events and happenings that have occurred to highlight in the Annual Report. With a terrible 2006 behind us I think we all looked forward with optimism to this season. The 2007 season appeared to be one of the most promising, with a terrific start and above average commodity prices. Council has always considered itself to be in drought recovery and the development and implementation of actions to address the economic, social and community consequences of the continuing situation have dominated discussion with other levels of government, within the Council itself and within the community. The situation is such that it is inconsequential whether as individuals we believe in climate change or not. The reality is that weather patterns are becoming more unpredictable and have an ongoing impact on everything we do. Council is grateful to the extensive financial support the Federal Government and State Government have given Buloke during this period. Without this support, the Buloke community would have felt the impact of the drought conditions much more than they have. Council is also grateful to the support provided by local health services, not-for-profit organisations, peak bodies, service clubs and community based organisations. As I indicated in my introductory comments to the 2005-2006 Annual Report, tough times in Buloke always brings out the best in the community. In the face of continuing drought conditions, increased water shortages, very difficult economic circumstances and some tragic local incidents involving young people the Buloke community has continued to demonstrate its compassion, resilience and inner strength. This is what makes living in Buloke and representing the community at a Councillor level such as privilege. My Councillor colleagues and I are always proud to say we come from Buloke. Proud of what the Buloke community has achieved and proud of the way it works together irrespective of the circumstances that occur. A particular highlight of the last year has been the continuing maturity of the Friendship Alliance between Buloke and the City of Hobsons Bay. The growth of this relationship has resulted in community organisations across the Shire strengthening ties with similar organisations in Hobsons Bay. Organisations from Hobsons Bay have supported festivals and events in Buloke, promoted Buloke based businesses in Hobsons Bay, financially assisted local community groups and provided sponsorship to a wide range of events and activities. There can be no doubt that the Friendship Alliance will continue to grow in strength in future years. 2006/07 has seen the maturing of Council’s commitment to Community Planning. Over the next 12 months each community within the Shire will be given the opportunity to develop, and/or update its community plan in a manner that suits that community. Community planning is already strongly embraced across the Shire. The funding Council has received to enhance this process will ensure more people embrace the opportunity to participate and help shape the future of their township/locality and the Shire as a whole. It is also appropriate in the context of this report that I comment on the Council decision to bring forward the date on which the employment contract with the previous Chief Executive Officer was concluded. The decision, in mid November 2006, to take this action was not unanimous and created a divide in Council and the community that continued for some months. Whether seen as a poor decision, or a good decision, the action taken did lead to Council reviewing a number of governance procedures. Actions taken subsequent to this decision have included improvements to meeting procedures, the creation of new opportunities for community consultation and changes to the relationship between Councillors and the incumbent CEO. Buloke Shire Council 2006/2007 Annual Report 4 I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the long hours that all of my Councillor colleagues put into their role as a Councillor of the Shire of Buloke. As well as their duties as local representatives, Councillors are active participants in local, regional, statewide and sometimes national working parties on a wide range of matters affecting Buloke. As representatives of the Buloke community Councillors represent local interests in matters as diverse as Rail Freight, Saleyards Management, Waste Disposal, Catchment Management, Children’s Services, Highway Improvements, Community Safety, Library Services, Environmental Management, Heritage, Health Services, Youth Services, Aged Services and Emergency Management just to name a few of the meetings and forums Councillors regularly attend. For a small Shire, Buloke has a BIG heart. This is reflected in the community spirit which is so evident in everything that happens in Buloke. Everyone works together and everyone puts in, this is the Buloke way. Cr Reid Mather Mayor, Buloke Shire Council Buloke Shire Council 2006/2007 Annual Report 5 ACTING CEO’S FOREWORD 2006/2007 has been a year for the council to focus on ‘getting the fundamentals right’. It has been a period of significant change, both for the organisation and for the future of our Shire. At the organisational level budget processes have been reviewed, new financial reporting requirements introduced, governance procedures overhauled, new opportunities for community consultation instigated, community planning initiated and changes made to the management structure of the Council organisation. In addition, from an operational viewpoint there have been a number of successful achievements including initiation of an after hours emergency response capability, improvements to animal control services, improved completion of capital works, employment of a full time youth officer, employment of a full time community building facilitator, preparation of a new environmental local law, construction of a new Children’s Services centre at Sea Lake, investment in new storm-water harvesting projects, winterisation of swimming pools to save water and a review of road maintenance practices too identify just a few highlights. A review of Council’s Meeting Local Law was also completed during the course of the year resulting in revised meeting procedures, including the introduction of provisions for questions from the public and questions from Councillors. The new procedures have also resulted in a dramatic reduction in the number of items

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

  • 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.

  • Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: an Artefact-Led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia
    Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: An Artefact-led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia Katherine Hepworth Doctor of Philosophy 2012 ii iii Abstract Government emblems are a rich source of historical information. This thesis examines the evidence of past governance discourses embodied in government emblems. Embodied discourses are found within an archive of 282 emblems used by local governments in Victoria, Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They form the basis of a history of governance in the State of Victoria from first British exploration in 1803 to the present day. This history of governance was written to test the main contribution of this thesis: a new graphic design history method called discursive method. This new method facilitates collecting an archive of artefacts, identifying discourses embodied within those artefacts, and forming a historical narrative of broader societal discourses and ideologies surrounding their use. A strength of discursive method, relative to other design history methods, is that it allows the historian to seriously investigate how artefacts relate to the power networks in which they are enmeshed. Discursive method can theoretically be applied to any artefacts, although government emblems were chosen for this study precisely because they are difficult to study, and rarely studied, within existing methodological frameworks. This thesis demonstrates that even the least glamorous of graphic design history artefacts can be the source of compelling historical narratives. iv Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been written without the support of many people. Fellow students, other friends and extended family have helped in many small ways for which I am so grateful.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
