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 -
