The City of Port Phillip is a local government area of Victoria, Australia on the northern shores of Port Phillip, south of Melbourne's central business district. It has an area of 20.62 km² and had a population of 91,372 people at the 2011 Census. Port Phillip contains a number of varied and substantial retail, entertainment and leisure precincts. These include Bay Street (Port Melbourne), Victoria Avenue (Albert Park), Clarendon Street (South Melbourne), Armstrong Street (Middle Park), Fitzroy Street (St Kilda), Acland Street (St Kilda), Carlisle Street (Balaclava) and Ormond Road (Elwood). A number of significant employment areas lay within Port Phillip, including the St Kilda Road office district and industrial, warehousing and manufacturing districts in South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. The city has experienced a significant amount of residential development in the 1990s, particularly in areas close to the foreshore. Port Phillip is well served by public transport with a substantial tram network, the St Kilda and Port Melbourne light rail lines and two stations on the Sandringham railway line, in addition to bus services. Comprising seven wards, it is predominantly an amalgamation of three former cities – St Kilda, parts of South Melbourne, most of Port Melbourne, plus a small portion of Windsor from Prahran.〔(Port Phillip )〕 The city was created in the present borders in June 1994 under the municipal restructure by the then Jeff Kennett Liberal government. At the time the city was administered by the then Commissioner Des Clarke and two other commissioners. The first council elections were held in March 1996. The City of Port Phillip is bounded by White Reserve and Todd Road to the west, the West Gate Freeway, Kings Way and Dorcas Street to the north, St Kilda Road, High Street, Punt Road, Queens Way, Dandenong Road, Orrong Road, Inkerman Street, Hotham Street, Glen Huntly Road, St Kilda Street and Head Street generally to the east and the foreshore of Port Phillip to the south. Adjacent councils include the City of Melbourne, City of Bayside, City of Glen Eira and the City of Stonnington. Council offices are currently located in the St Kilda Town Hall, Port Melbourne Town Hall and the South Melbourne Town Hall. The council operates several other facilities including local libraries, child care centres, parks, playgrounds and community centres. ==Schools== * (Albert Park Primary School ) * (Elwood Primary School ) * (Galilee Regional Primary School ) (Roman Catholic) * (Middle Park Primary School ) * (Port Melbourne Primary School ) (formerly Graham Street Primary) * (St Kilda Park Primary School ) * (St Kilda Primary School ) * (Albert Park Secondary College ). The School Council voted on 11 October 2006 that the school close,〔(The Age 12 October - )〕 although there is much residual opposition, which has resulted in a protest march to John Thwaites office and the formation of a grass roots movement to save the school from closure, called "Save Albert Park College". The re-built school is due to re-open in 2011, but with only an intake of year 7 (form 1) students in that year. * (Elwood Secondary College ) * Mac.Robertson Girls' High School (Elite government girls secondary college with an entry test) * St Michael's Grammar School (Church of England/Anglican) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of Port Phillip」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
