Title: A charter for a central region : a principled community view. Why a regional community charter?
Abstract: Why a regional community charter? One Region (with more resources)? One Greater Melbourne Council? Or what?
That was the great debate begun at the tail-end of 1985. Up until then, there had been a loosely-structured consultative type Urban Region, constituting some State Department spokespeople, some local Council officers and/or Councillors, and some community representatives from 8 inner area municipalities, namely: Melbourne, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond, Prahan, St. Kilda, South Melbourne & Port Melbourne.
