“…Basic building regulation powers, including minimum lot sizes, had been established for municipalities from 1915, predated by private covenants. Melbourne's Plan of General Development provided a model for voluntary land use zoning based on US precedents (Freestone & Grubb, 1998), partly rationalised by property value concerns (Metropolitan Town Planning Commission, 1929, p. 155). Local planning controls were legislated in 1944, with building codes working alongside to regulate housing density.…”

Critical perspectives, largely in American literature, point to the historical influence of affluent homeowners on planning and argue that because of its role in housing markets, planning can reflect and reinforce patterns of socio-economic difference. Although institutional contexts vary, the article hypothesises that similar patterns may be evident in Victoria, where an important facet of the planning system is that third-party objection and appeal rights (TPOAR) in planning are comparatively strong. The author uses planning application and tribunal data for local governments to model spatial and temporal variations in rates of planning objection and appeal, in relation to measures of housing prices and socio-economic advantage. Objection and appeal is found to be more likely in relation to higher density housing, but much more likely again where existing housing values are higher. There is evidence that communities with greater economic interests in, and resources to engage with, the planning system make disproportionate use of opposition channels.美国有人撰文评述富裕房主对规划的历史性影响，并指出鉴于规划在住房市场中扮演的角色，它反映和强化了社会经济差异。尽管维多利亚的制度环境异于美国，第三方拥有较强的反对和上诉权(TPOAR) ，但本文假设在维多利亚也能看到类似的模式。本文作者利用地方政府规划申请和审理委员会数据，结合对房价和社会经济优势的衡量，建立了规划反对和上诉的比例在空间和时间中的变化模型。研究发现密度较大的住房反对和上诉率较高，而现有住房价值较高的地方反对和上诉率更高。有证据表明在规划体系中经济利益较大、有较多资源参与规划的社区，其反对渠道的利用远远高于其他社区。 KEY WORDS: Third-party objection and appeal, urban consolidation, exclusionary zoning, Melbourne, locational conflict

“…Town planning emerged as a formal movement in Victoria in 1914 with the establishment of the Town Planning Association, an amalgamation of the AntiSlum Committee and the National Parks Association (Sandercock 1976;Freestone and Grubb 1995). Here, the influence of the nineteenth-century urban reform movement is evident, alongside an emerging conservation and nature "ethic."…”

In settler societies such as Australia, the colonial state actively produced its territory to secure it from its former Aboriginal owners. Imperial spatial technologies, including exploration, surveying, mapping, (re)naming, and classification of land and its potential uses, were the primary means of this activity. These were the early foundations of planning as a form of statebased action to secure the ordering of space, the production of knowledge about space, and the organizing of action within space. Through an examination of contemporary environmental planning and its historical roots, this article shows how planning practice continues to be structured by specifically colonial imaginings of place, which serve to continue the erasure of Aboriginal philosophies, knowledge, and relationships with place.
