of Victoria</a> (SECV), who operated the nearby <a href="/wiki/Yallourn_Power_Station" title="Yallourn Power Station">Yallourn Power Station</a> complex. However, expansion of the adjacent <a href="/wiki/Open-pit_mining" title="Open-pit mining">open-cut</a> <a href="/wiki/Lignite" title="Lignite">brown coal</a> mine led to the closure and removal of the town in the 1980s. Whilst the township no longer exists, at the <a href="/wiki/2006_Australian_census" class="mw-redirect" title="2006 Australian census">2006 census</a>, the adjacent region classified as Yallourn had a population of 251.<sup id="cite_ref-Census2006Y_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Census2006Y-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yallourn&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The town was planned by A.R. La Gerche, the State Electricity Commission's Architect.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is sometimes mistakenly thought to have been designed by <a href="/wiki/Walter_Burley_Griffin" title="Walter Burley Griffin">Walter Burley Griffin</a>, who planned <a href="/wiki/Canberra" title="Canberra">Canberra</a>, Australia's capital city. </p><p>The design of Yallourn incorporated lessons learnt from the early UK garden cities of <a href="/wiki/Welwyn_Garden_City" title="Welwyn Garden City">Welwyn Garden City</a> and <a href="/wiki/Letchworth_Garden_City" class="mw-redirect" title="Letchworth Garden City">Letchworth Garden City</a> inspired by <a href="/wiki/Ebenezer_Howard" title="Ebenezer Howard">Ebenezer Howard</a>. The design of Yallourn established a formal central square adjacent to the shopping area and a formal "Broadway" bounded by parks between the shopping area and railway station. The whole town area was surrounded by a green belt varying between native vegetation, open parkland and sporting and recreational complexes. </p><p>The majority of the land and buildings, with the churches and several minor properties as the exceptions, were owned by the SECV. Residents were charged below market rentals and the SECV adopted the role of paternalistic landlord in addition to its role as employer to the majority of the town's income earners. The conflicts this created caused continuing concern throughout the life of the town. For the majority of the town's life, citizen involvement was limited, residents being represented in their dealings with the SECV by a Town Advisory Council that was established in 1947.<sup id="cite_ref-prov_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-prov-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Houses within the town were constructed to a limited number of designs but these were varied by differing external detailing and surface finishes. A brick and tile manufacturing plant was built near the town and produced a characteristic terracotta roofing tile which was used to clad most homes. The pitch of the roof structure and overhanging eaves remained similar throughout the town, providing a common theme without the sameness characteristic of English garden city developments. The homes were placed on large plots, typically of 1000 m<sup>2</sup>, the design brief from General Sir John Monash, the initial SECV chairman requiring that each plot should have sufficient land to permit the tenant to keep a horse and a garden. </p><p>The town boasted outstanding public facilities many years in advance of similar rural or suburban communities of similar size, the majority funded by the SECV. A close community spirit developed within the town, in part through enthusiastic usage of the excellent facilities. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="External_communications">External communications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yallourn&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: External communications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Yallourn_railway_line" title="Yallourn railway line">Yallourn railway line</a> was opened to the town in January 1922 as a branch junctioning at Hernes Oak on the <a href="/wiki/Gippsland_railway_line" title="Gippsland railway line">Gippsland railway line</a>; this line was replaced by a one on an easier gradient extending east from <a href="/wiki/Moe,_Victoria" title="Moe, Victoria">Moe</a> in September 1953, which was electrified in 1955.<sup id="cite_ref-elect_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-elect-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The local railway station closed to passengers in the 1960s,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with the line then being used primarily to haul <a href="/wiki/Briquettes" class="mw-redirect" title="Briquettes">briquettes</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Yallourn_Power_Station#Briquette_factory" title="Yallourn Power Station">Yallourn briquette factory</a>.
