Document (item) - Programme for a Civic Dinner in the Kew Recreation Hall, City of Kew, 1948
The Municipality of Kew (1860-1863), the Borough of Kew (1863-1910), the Town of Kew (1910-1921) and the City of Kew (1921-1994) were local government instrumentalities in the State of Victoria. In 1994, the City of Kew was amalgamated, together with the former Cities of Camberwell and Hawthorn, into the new City of Boroondara (1994- ). Like other local government entities of the period, Kew was administered by town clerks. The two notable town clerks in Kew's history were H. H. (Henry Hirst) Harrison (1868-1955) and W. D. (William Dickie) Birrell (1899-1974). Harrison was appointed to the position in 1901 and retired in 1938 after 37 years. Birrell, appointed Acting Town Clerk in 1921, became Town Clerk in 1938, following Harrison's retirement. He continued in this role until his retirement in 1966. A large part of this collection of civic ephemera was assembled by W. D. Birrell. This is part of an historically significant civic collection, containing hundreds of separate invitations, documents, greeting cards, programmes and tickets issued and/or collected by successive town clerks. Items in the collection illuminate the political, social and cultural history of the district. As a continuous record, ranging across most decades of the Twentieth Century, they reveal changing tastes in design, values and relationships in the history of local government in Victoria.ephemera, civic ephemera, civic invitations, cr w j hambly, recreation hall -- kew (vic.) -

Document (Item) - Book, City of Heidelberg, Restructuring Local Government for the 21st Century: Heidelberg's approach to the North East Region, February 1994
The City of Heidelberg's Council first preference is "no change" [to municipal restructure] but if this option is unacceptable, the Council would prefer to form larger municipality/municapilites involving the exisitng City of Heidelberg and the Shires of Diamond Valley and Eltham. This report includes an exective summary, Introduction, A Brief History, Heidelberg and its [municiapl] neighbours now, opportunities for restructure, detailed analysis and preferred structure. Includes fold out maps.This report by the City of Heidleberg is a significant local contribution in the consultation leading to a significant change to local government in Victorian when, in 1994 the Kennett State government restructed local government. The reforms dissolved 201 Councils and created 78 new councils through amalgamations. In suburban Melbourne 53 municipalities were reduced to 26. The City of Heidelberg was amalgamated with parts of the Shire of Eltham and Diamond Valley to become the City of Banyule.annexation, council amalgamation, local government -
