In the sixteen townships and suburbs that made up the former Shire of Lillydale, these turbulent times had an effect on the lives of its residents. Whether they debated and argued locally over communism in the pubs, the halls or the local newspaper or whether they put on a uniform and sought to suppress it or fight it on battlefields, in the air space or on the sea lanes throughout Asia. Using the words of the men and women from that area who lived through it, this book reveals how our nation’s fight against communism between 1945 and 1970 effected this district in many ways, and the role that those from the district played as a result.Ill, p.309.non-fictionAs the Second World War came to an end in 1945, the hopes of a lasting world peace were soon dashed as defeated Fascist governments were quickly replaced by the rise of Communist aggression and the heralding in of a Cold War that threatened a third world war and the use of nuclear weapons.

... history of the organisation. Hardy had also been a Lilydale Councillor and went on to become the first female Shire President. ...history of the organisation. Hardy had also been a Lilydale Councillor and went on to become the first female Shire President. ...As the Yarra became unsuitable as a source of water, several attempts were made to find alternative sources for the growing population of Melbourne. It was not until 1891 that the efforts to sewer Melbourne came to fruition with the setting up of the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW), now known as Melbourne Water. From 1891 until 1992, it was the responsibility of the MMBW to safeguard public health by providing a sewerage system and a safe water supply system. In 1992, The MMBW merged with a number of smaller urban water authorities to form Melbourne Water. Born on the 5th of August,1926, Margaret Gwen Hardy was the very first Commissioner of the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW) and was appointed in 1975, a major victory for women at the time. This was the first time in the 84 year history of the organisation. Hardy had also been a Lilydale Councillor and went on to become the first female Shire President. Along with her work commitments as part of the Board, Hardy was the wife of Dr. Bill and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Next door to her home in Mt Evelyn was her husband’s surgery, where Hardy also worked part-time as a Manager. Hardy was also involved with the Lilydale High School Mother’s Club, she was the President of the Mt. Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association, on the Advisory Council of Monbulk High School and was the Secretary of the Lilydale Citizens Advisory Service at the time. This staff newsletter highlights the historically significant achievement of Cr. Gwen Hardy becoming the first female commissioner to work at the Board in 84 years. This captured achievement highlights women's career advancement at the MMBW and within the Victorian public service, whilst having historic and social associations with the many women's rights movements in the 1970s.comissioner, melbourne water, mmbw, melbourne metropolitan board of works, woman, staff, newsletter -
