Council begins work on major Tatura land plan By Struan Jones GREATER Shepparton City Council has begun preparing a structure plan for land in Tatura that will support the growth of the township for the next 30 years. The structure plan will guide development of land to north, north-east and east of the township, as identified in the Tatura Framework Plan.

Development to the south of Tatura is largely prohibited due to proximity to the wastewater treatment facility and to the west due to the presence of the Mosquito Depression. The structure plan will identify all open space, stormwater drainage and transport infrastructure required to support population growth in the area. Continued on page 15

Call for more drug testing of road users

AT THE DECA IN SHEPPARTON, CALL FOR TRAINING TO SHAPE ATTITUDE OF YOUNG DRIVERS... Member of Northern Victoria, Tania Maxwelll calls for additional testing and training of young drivers.. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

IN the last five years approximately 41 percent of all drivers and motorcyclists killed who were tested, had drugs in their system and 25 percent of Victorians who use recreational drugs admit to driving under the inf luence according to a Transport Accident Commission report. A driver with methylamphetamine in their system is up to 200 times more likely to have a collision. Member for Northern Victoria, Tania Maxwell has called for increased drug testing on roads and driver education for young people as part of her submission to the Victorian Inquiry into the Increase in Victoria’s Road Toll. Ms Max well said there should be immediate action to expand the rate of random drug testing of drivers on Victorian roads, including the latest drug driving testing equipment and technology.

Ms Maxwell said in practice, not all police are trained to conduct testing and as a result, if a general duties officer suspects drug use, they had to relay the case to Highway Patrol and wait for them to attend a scene. Highway Patrol must then physically see the person driving the motor vehicle before they are able to ask them to submit to a drug test. Ms Maxwell said such a program should incorporate a special focus on identifying attitudes to risk and shaping behaviour towards low-risk driving as well as defensive driving skills. T he Dr iver E duc at ion C ent re of Australia (DECA) in Shepparton has under-utilised facilities that in the past, was instrumental in providing thousands of young drivers with basic training and would provide the perfect location for doing this.

SAM build

SMILES ALL ROUND... SAM project manager, Greater Shepparton City Council, Thomas Lyle, director infrastructure, Greater Shepparton City Council, Phil Hoare, and project manager, Kane Constructions, Brandon Finucane. Photo: Struan Jones.

THE new Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) remains on track to be completed by the end of the year, despite delays expected in sourcing some materials as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The five-storey building housing the museum, visitor centre, and the Kaiela Art Gallery and Studio is now approaching the end of the build, with the majority of the façade and most of the concrete works completed. Speaking on-site last week, director Infrastructure at Greater Shepparton City Council, Phil Hoare, said, “It’s really exciting to see some of these components go in that are going to be a feature of SAM. You get a feel for what the atrium is going to look like.” The central atrium feature staircase has been installed and will eventually be clad with timber, while the western atrium feature staircase has been installed with balustrades to follow.

“The two staircases are starting to take shape and you can see what it’s going to look like when you walk into the building, which is really exciting,” Mr Hoare said. Of primary concern is sourcing glazing from China, due to be installed within six weeks, with delays expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “While we’re going really well and we’re on track to have the building completed later this year, there are some components that are still subject to potential delays due to the pandemic,” Mr Hoare said. While no date has been set, an official opening is expected in the first half of 2021. “Over the next month or two, with the external completed and the art hill and the glazing coming in, I think people will really start to see the building change shape and will be able to appreciate it for what it is,” Mr Hoare said.

Agribusiness outlook positive despite pandemic WHILE the impacts of Coronavirus have been widespread across the nation’s economy, the outlook for Goulburn Valley fruit growers remains positive. A recent report from the Commonwealth Bank’s Regional and Agribusiness division shows that in many parts of the country, the agribusiness sector is strong and growing, and our region’s producers are no exception. Michael Crisera, grower services manager at Fruit Growers Victoria, which represents apple, pear, stone fruit and cherry farmers in the region, said the outlook for this year’s harvest remained positive after coming off a wet end to summer and autumn. “Apples are going quite well, prices are good, and stone fruits have seen an increased supply to China with a much-

improved domestic price as well,” he said. “Compared to this time last year, the water allocation is a lot more positive. G ou lbu r n i rrigators al ready have 30 percent allocation and are fairly confident we’ll end up with 100 percent, which is fantastic.” Mr Crisera said the impact of the pandemic is expected to hit when fruit growers look to secure harvest labour come November, with many producers relying on workers from overseas to get their fruit off trees. “Other wise, if you look around t he G ou lbu r n Va l ley, ever y t h i ng looks nice, green and lush, and dairy producers would definitely be looking optimistically for the year ahead, too,” Mr Crisera said.

The long road to teaching

SETTING HIS SIGHTS ON TEACHING... Abraham Awan is now in his third year of studies at Latrobe University. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

BY Steve Hutcheson WE read about wars overseas but for the most part, have little understanding of the impact it has on the people involved in or affected by them. In 2003, Sudan was locked in a 22-year civil war that had seen some two million people killed and a further four million people displaced. Along with a group of a dozen or more other boys, a small and slim, ten-year-old travelled to Kenya to the safety of a refugee camp, separated from his family that had been left in the war zone. For the next seven years, Abraham Awan found refuge in the camp of some 250,000 people, alone except for his youthful travel companions. After a few years, an international organisation who specialised in reunions was able to repatriate his mother and two younger sisters from Sudan, Rebecca and Elizabeth to join him in the camp. To survive and while undertaking his own studies through primary and secondary school,

Abraham had been assisting teaching the younger children of the camp. In 2016, Abraham and his two sisters obtained a refugee visa to migrate to Australia. The family was located in Shepparton where he attended the Shepparton English Language School and was soon engaged as an assistant. Following on from his time in the refugee camp, Abraham took an interest in teaching and has been studying at Latrobe University for three years to become a primary school teacher while at the same time, looking after his two sisters. Now aged 16 and 19, both girls attend the McGuire campus of Greater Shepparton Secondary College. Their mother is still residing in the camp in Kenya. His father had passed away in Sudan some years ago. As a young man, being self-sufficient from such a young age, Abraham is a credit to his family and origins and will play a pivotal role in the future for Shepparton’s multicultural community.

Life for pets can be ‘ruff’ as we head back to work By Steve Hutcheson I think there are two times during the day that have the most profound effect on my dog. The first is when I leave for work in the morning, the second is when I arrive back home. The mornings are pathetic. A long sad face with an expression of, ‘You are leaving me ...alone?’ Of course, there are the cats to annoy and my wife to keep her company in my absence. Getting home at night goes without saying, is the most exciting time of the day for her. The COVID-19 pandemic has for some, created a completely new set of distressing moments for pets, in particular dogs. With lots of families working and schooling from home in isolation, they may have been letting their dogs inside more and spending more time with their pets.

Page 8 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1518 Wednesday, July 22, 2020

The pet thinks this is fantastic and thinks it is the new normal. Since some of us have been home for months which is plenty of time for animals to believe this is their new routine. Suddenly, everyone in the house goes back to work and school and the animal goes from having their family around to having nothing very quickly - less attention and fewer walks. This is quite stressful for an animal as they do not understand why, often resulting in new bad habits from boredom and stress. Strategies for helping them adjust include toys, and periods of separation even though you are in the house. Overall, try to create a happy environment for the animal so that they can be relaxed without a human presence to keep them company and be ready for the joy they express when you get home.

OPINION

Letters to the Editor GSCC CONTROVERSY Dear Editor, ONCE again, the Greater Shepparton City Council appears to have embroiled itself in controversy regarding the ongoing issue of car parking. Following several week’s advertising on the Adviser front page, the Council promoted its decision to make off-street Council parking free, with timed limits. T his was welcomed by most people following around six months of nondecision after the Council’s own survey about the Christmas free parking trial. As of (at least) the week commencing

July 6th, the parking in the Fraser Street area was designated as “free parking” with the lone parking meter disabled and bearing a sticker designating the area as free parking. Last week, however, the Council appears to have back-flipped on this decision, and a new meter has been installed and metered parking has been re-introduced. T h i s h a s c au s e d m a s s c on f u sion amongst people parking in the area. A quick check of cars revealed that there was rough mix of half of the vehicles without a ticket, with the rest having purchased a ticket. Confusion reigned amongst

Fraser Street doesn’t go any where, being blocked off before the Mall. It is logically used as a parking area for people looking to shop in the CBD area, and we are some of those people. Free parking has continuously been identified by shop-owners and customers alike as the single most useful tool to rejuvenate the dying CBD area. This latest back-flip is yet another example that the Council’s priorities lie with a money grab, rather that the welfare of the Shepparton district retail sector and its customers. Yours sincerely, Ray Read Shepparton

NATIONALS NEED TO BE THEIR OWN MASTER Dear Editor, W ILL the Nationals continue on their downward path, or do they have the courage to take action and reverse the trend? It is a fascinating question that has hit the spotlight again following their poor showing in the Eden-Monaro by-election, and general discontent with the party which used to dominate our regional political landscape. One national commentator stated this week, “Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack’s incompetence has again been exposed …”

So, is this at the heart of the problem, or does it go deeper. Why are so many previously ‘rusted on’ Nationals voting for other parties and independent candidates? I believe the Nationals’ Federal Member for Nicholls, Damian Drum inadvertently provided the answer when he recently told us we were not getting essential changes to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan because the Liberal Party was concerned it may impact their vote in Adelaide. If the Nationals are to regain lost ground they must stand up and be counted, which Mr McCormack does not seem prepared to do. Another commentator at the weekend, talking about the Nationals’, said that, “… whenever we go cold on the party, it’s because the leadership has rusted off the very base it represents”. That is what has happened. It is pointless having a small group of Nationals bemoaning the issues being faced in the communities they represent, but a leadership that doesn’t have the courage to fix them. If the party wants to re-emerge, it must stop being a Liberal lapdog. And this starts at the top. Yours sincerely, Lindsay Marshall Blighty, NSW Want to have your say?

READY TO HELP SET UP SELF MANAGED SUPER FUNDS... Principal with SDP Tax Accountants, David Fitzgerald has had 20 years of experience. Photo: Steve Hutcheson

Making the most of selfmanaged super funds AS we passage through this year’s tax time, there is an advantage to look at how individual super funds are being managed heading into the future. With the downturn in the economy, the returns from the large super funds this year have been poor and many people are turning towards selfmanaged super funds (SMSF) as an alternative. With some SMSF, people are taking the opportunity to invest in income producing property that, with recent changes to rules, enables the funds to borrow up to 65% of the valuation. Similarly, as a SMSF manager, people can decide where they invest in stocks and bonds. There have been a number of other rule changes that relate to aspects of SMSF such as contributions, withdrawals and annual audits. In getting the most out of a SMSF does need guidance in what can and can’t be done and how best to spread the investments. Putting aside 9.5 percent of your pretax income up to $25,000 and $100,000 after tax gives opportunity to develop a substantial portfolio within a SMSF over time. SDP Tax Accountants have built a solid reputation assisting people to establish and manage more than 100 funds ranging in size from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars.

MASTER JEWELLER... Jacek of JB Jewellers recently completed a Diamond Foundation Course run by the exclusive De Beers Institute of Diamonds, extending his knowledge of the world’s most renowned precious stone. Photo: Struan Jones

No pressure, no diamonds DIAMONDS are forever, and no gemstone comes close to capturing the aura and esteem of Earth’s most precious mineral, forged u nder t he most rem a rkable conditions beneath the Earth’s crust. Known universally for their spectacular internal dispersion of light, giving the gem its characteristic ‘fire’, diamonds have been used as beautiful decorative items since ancient times. Here in Shepparton, master jeweller Jacek of J B Jewel lers has recent ly completed a Diamond Foundation Course, exclusive tuition run by the world’s most recognised diamond company, De Beers of South Africa, on recommendation from the Australia’s National Council of Jewellery Valuers. The qualification adds to a long list of skills reflecting Jacek’s life-long learning in his craft. After completing a four-year master jeweller apprenticeship in Europe, and a further six years of practical work and

exams to achieve Master Diploma in the craft, Jacek moved to Australia in 1981, eventually settling in Shepparton to open his own jewellery shop. To d ay, he a nd h i s w i f e B oz e n a manufacture jewellery on-site in their workshop, including producing custom jewellery. T he pair are wedding specialists, designing and crafting engagement rings and wedding bands, along with engraving. For Jacek, diamonds are very special, and he wants to share his expertise with customers to give them the best advice. “There’s never enough knowledge, you can always learn something more,” he says. “Diamonds are created under such unique conditions then they come to Earth in violent eruptions. They’re a remarkably beautiful gemstone.” Jacek and Bozena of JB Jewellers are located at 265 Maude Street, Shepparton, and can be contacted on 5831 1611.

Time to start thinking of bushfire preparedness

BUSHFIRES ARE LIKELY TO BECOME THE NEW NORMAL... Being prepared puts you in a better position in the eventuality of bushfires striking your property. Photo: Supplied

VICTORIANS are being warned to start thinking about bushfire preparedness after the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre published its mid-year seasonal bushfire outlook this month. The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: July 2020, urges Australians to be prepared for another summer of fire risk. The Victorian section of the report notes that welcome autumn rainfall totals means good prospects for spring pasture and crop growth in the north of the state. Coming off the warmest and driest year on record for Australia, the first half of 2020 has seen a shift to more normal rain patterns for a number of areas, according to the report.

Page 14 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1518 Wednesday, July 22, 2020

“A La Niña WATCH is current, and if a La Niña eventuates there is a higher than normal chance of above average rainfall during spring,” the report stated. Minister for Emergency Management, David Littleproud, said all Australians needed to prepare for another tough bushfire season. “According to the report, the first half of 2020 has seen more rainfall in parts of Victoria compared to the last two years,” Mr Littleproud said. “While this rain is very welcome it will lead to strong grass growth that, once the grass dries, could pose a significant fire risk.”

Secondary college running to schedule THE previous building has now been demolished and work is progressing on the next stages. The original 1909 schoolhouse has been retained and will be included in the design of the new school. Businesses throughout the Greater Shepparton region will benefit from the build already. Outside of a few specialist trades not available locally, more than 90 percent of subcontract work has gone to local suppliers. Scheduled for completion at the end of 2021, the project is running on schedule with minor lost time due to weather. Strict enforcement of COVID-19 requirements is routine on the site and has not contributed to any downtime. Executive principal, Genevieve Simson said,

“This has been a great experience in having input into where our staff will be teaching. The learning spaces, particularly technology, are state-of-the-art and far superior to anything we have in our existing campuses. “The construction of GSSC ensures important educational opportunities. The college careers team will have both VCAL and VCE students taking part in site visits and work experience opportunities during the build.” Notwithstanding some local issues the school is having on the separated campuses, the transition towards a unified school has settled down other than the disruption being caused by the pandemic.

BUILT on the success of the 240Z concept car of the late 90s, the 350Z is the fifth generation Nissan Z car. A two-seater, front engine, rearwheel drive sports car. In 1999, Renault purchased 44 percent of Nissan and in 2001, introduced the revised Z concept. The squat, long-hood/short-deck styling resulted from a competition between Nissan’s Japanese, European, and American

design studios, with the La Jolla, California studio’s design being chosen in March 2000. In the summer of 2002, the 350Z was released to wide acclaim. It employed a slightly improved version of the 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine found in multiple Nissan cars at the time. Alan Walters from Shepparton bought the car new as an affordable sports car to match

the style and performance of comparable European models but has now put it up for sale. Developing 221kW (around 296BHP) the car has a six speed manual gearbox and has a top speed well above the legal limit for Victoria’s roads. Designed to be a head-turner, with the added decals the Nissan 350Z certainly lives up to its reputation.

A space to work from home

BASIC SPACE... You can create the perfect corner of peace to get work done at home. Photo: Supplied.

FINDING the perfect work space at home can be elusive. If your home is on the smaller side and you don’t want to give up a whole room for the sake of an office, there are more options than simply turning the dining table into a work desk. With more people now finding ways to work from home, the ideal work space is something you can create. A study nook could be the perfect solution, finding space in a quiet corner or even under a staircase. A fitted desk against a wall can instantly transform a simple corner into a dedicated area ripe for productivity and creativity. Looking up at a wall might not be the worst view for productivity, either. You’d rather not be watching your kids run rampant in the backyard with the dog while you’re on an important work call. The style of your study nook can be anything you desire, from modern and understated, to bold and beautiful. With the right chair, just enough desk space, and little to distract you, you’ve found the perfect work space.

SPORT

Adviser

Junior athletes lace up for start of season JUNIOR sport is back on in the Goulburn Valley. Last weekend saw the return to competition in the Shepparton and District Junior Football League, the Shepparton Junior Soccer Association, and the Goulburn Valley Hockey Association juniors. This Saturday, footballers and netballers of the Goulburn Valley League (GVL) will take the field after a long limbo, for a modified nine-round season with collective fingers crossed to make it to a September 26 grand final. The GVL juniors will consist of its inaugural under-16s and under-18s in football and 15- and 17-and under netball competitions. GVL board chairman, David Roff, said, “Season 2020 is certainly not how anyone envisaged it to be. It is very

different to any season in the 126-year history of the GOTAFE Goulburn Valley League.” Other changes to the 2020 season include an eight-player bench in the football, and rolling substitutes introduced for netball. The traditional finals series has been replaced with a final play-off between the two top teams from each grade, at a yet to be determined venue at the end of nine rounds.

COMPETITIVE SPIRIT... Cricketer turned footballer, Jamie Grahame at the Shepparton and Youth Club United Cricket Club’s home ground earlier this year. The keen cricketer is now playing football for the Goulburn Valley Giants. Photo: Jemima Nash

All abilities cricket leads to senior competition THE path to senior sport has been a remarkable one for a player who started his career in the local disability cricket team. Shepparton’s Jamie Grahame, 34, said playing for the Shepparton and Youth Club United Cricket Club has allowed him to be treated like a normal person, not like someone with a disability, and he’s now pulled on the football boots, too. “It doesn’t matter if you have a disability or not, you are there to have a go at it,” Jamie said, speaking about his years playing cricket. Jamie, who has an intellectual disability, has changed tack this winter and joined the Goulburn Valley Giants Masters AFL club. GV Masters president, David Davis, said Jamie’s addition to the group has been welcomed. “He’s probably been the biggest breath of fresh air, he adds a bit of character to the space,” he said.

“He has fitted right in, and he wants to learn, that’s the main thing. He’s been really good.” While the Country Masters season remains on ice, training continues with strong numbers. Connect GV, an NDIS provider committed to providing individualised options for people with a disability, has helped Jamie earn a guernsey in competitive sport. Chief executive officer, Carolynne Frost, said sport had been an avenue for Jamie to cope, stay on track and have something to look forward to. “It provides hope. We underestimate the need to have hope in one’s life and to have things to look forward to, and that’s a really big thing for Jamie,” she said. “We are so proud of him and how far he has come.”

“The primary goal of the board and all our participating clubs is to encourage participation for our juniors,” Mr Roff said. The league has reminded people that only spectators necessary to support participation should attend training and competitions and must abide by current group gathering restrictions.

Parkrun still keeping time FOR many runners in the region, Saturday morning’s 8am Parkrun is an unmissable ritual, COVID-19 pandemic or not. Now if this sounds like scores of runners are willingly flaunting social-distancing rules, fear not. Parkrun is now (Not) Parkrun. For those who have never heard of Parkrun, it’s a free, five-kilometre Saturday morning run or walk organised by keen volunteers, and Parkrun groups have mushroomed all around the world. It’s a non-competitive social event, however the quickest among the crowd will be out regularly to shave seconds off personal best times. In Shepparton this year, Parkrun has gone virtual. In order to disperse the normal Saturday morning crowd, which can reach 200, (Not) Parkrun encourages runners to complete the five-kilometre course any time during the week and upload their times online. Shepparton Parkrun enthusiast and studio manager at The Adviser, Mathieu Ryan, said the loss of a social Parkrun was a hard to adjust to. “We’re now all itching to run together, to share the joy of running that brings so many of the community together,” he said. “With (Not) Parkrun, it’s the first step to re-engaging the parkrun community to share that they are still running. “We may not be able to enjoy our regular parkrun, but we are still able to stay active.” For more information, check out Shepparton Parkrun on Facebook.
