Concerns raised over fire preparedness between Shepparton, Mooroopna INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District, Su zan na Sheed, has raised concerns about the fire risk in the bushland between Shepparton and Mooroopna.

With above-average rainfall forecast from now to December, this year’s fire season has the potential to be a grassfire-dominated season, with shorter-duration fires in grass and dry forests during hotter and windier days, according to the CFA. “There are many areas - roadsides, public lands, even private properties that have incredibly tall grass that is currently drying off. It will not be long until we have over 40-degree days in our region, and it will be too late then to do anything about slashing or doing safe burning,” Ms Sheed said.

“In parts it is so overgrown and in need of some form of forest management to reduce the fuel loads.

“The tracks need to be looked after to ensure our fire trucks can get access; there are huge areas of young saplings that should not be there and impede the natural side of the forest, and along the Goulburn River there are houses and suburbs effectively just on the other side of the river where there is very overgrown forest.”

them. “ T h i s i s a r e c o m m e n d at io n ou r State Government should adopt. Our communities should know what is being done to keep them safe in preparation for the fire season and have an annual reporting process that details the outcomes of management strategies,” Ms Sheed said.

Sheed calls for urgent government action to support regional media WHEN it comes to regional media, it’s often a case of: ‘You don’t know how good you had it until it’s gone.’

It’s been a tough year for regional media outlets. Even here in Shepparton, we’ve seen the amalgamation of local radio and television news outlets and the dilution of the local ABC radio. The nation-wide trend has prompted the ‘Save Our Voices’ campaign, headed by veteran journalist, Ray Martin.

Last week in the Victorian parliament, Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed, called on State and Federal governments to support regional media to avert a major crisis in Australian society and democracy.

“Studies in the UK, the US and Australia indicate where local media closes, communities suffer a rise in corruption, political disengagement and a heightened distrust in public institutions,” she told the Victorian Parliament last Wednesday.

Addressing parliament on a Matter of Public Importance, Ms Sheed said audiences are also enriched by access to local news from journalists who live and work in regional communities.

“These journalists present multiple viewpoints to their audiences.

This coverage allows the reader, watcher and listener to judge the merits of whatever argument is being made in context, rather than someone like myself simply dictating an opinion through media releases and social media posts.

“I am connected and saddened by the loss of each and every local journalist.”

Ms Sheed said the multi-national social media and search engine giants were taking content and advertising revenue from rural media without adding value for communities.

Digital media giants “will never replace the local knowledge, curiosity and dedication to journalistic ethics of those employed in the media who live within our communities,” she said.

“Local, state and federal governments should support local newspapers through advertising and they should be required to do so by law.”

But the 2020 Local Government Act has removed references to council requirements to publish in local newspapers, she said.

Ms Sheed said the following steps can be taken to help save local regional media: • Individuals can subscribe to their local newspapers in print and online, support local radio stations and news media rooms • Local government should be required to continue publicly advertising much of its day- to-day operations, tenders, planning applications, changes to rates etc in local media • State governments should, by law, support regional media through advertising • Federal Government should, by law, support regional media through advertising, provide tax breaks, review the Australian Broadcasting Act, and review the one-media-outlet to-market rule • The threshold for access to public interest journalism grants should be lowered “The result of this ongoing contraction of media diversity in our regional areas will be that there will be less transparency, less access to information for those who are not deliberately going in search of it and ultimately less accountability. This denigrates our democratic processes,” Ms Sheed said.

“To be able to participate you must first be informed and educated.”

New ‘Activators Alliance’ to encourage city slickers to the regions A LOWER cost of living, job opportunities, scenery, sense of community and a much lower risk of COVID-19 are just some of the reasons why so many city-dwellers are seriously considering moves to regional areas.

It’s a trend supported by Sam Birrell, chief executive officer of the Committee for Greater Shepparton (C4GS), an organisation with a mission to improve the economic development and liveability of the region.

Last week, the C4GS joined the Regional Activators Alliance (RAA), a new body to help create a National Awareness Campaign aimed at driving population to the regions.

The RAA, which comprises 36 local councils, Regional Development Australia regions, economic development groups and industry representatives from across the country, aims to play a critical role in the transformation of regional Australia.

Mr Birrell said driving investment into the regions was crucial to maintaining Australian quality of life.

“Do we want mega cities like New York or places like Germany which have medium-sized, interconnected cities? I think the population balance of the nation is important so we don’t just rely on two mega cities,” he said.

The launch of the RAA was supported by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Michael McCormack.

“I have always said regional Australia is big enough in which to get a good cup of coffee, but small enough to care – and now is the time to make the move,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“There are jobs, there is a better lifestyle and there is the opportunity to build a fresh start – regional Australia is the best place to live, work and raise a family.”

The National Awareness Campaign will be launched in early 2021.

HOT PROPERTY IN CENTRAL SHEPPARTON... More than 100 people turned out to a pair of auctions on Shepparton’s Rea Street on Sunday.

A unique art deco brick heritage home on a huge 1,817m2 block at 50-52 Rea Street was passed in at $650K and is being negotiated with several interested buyers. Next door, at 54 Rea Street, a charming weatherboard went under the hammer by agent Kevin Hicks of Shepparton’s Kevin Hicks Real Estate (pictured) with Kelvin Maude assisting, selling comfortably over reserve. The auctions, which were also attended by online buyers, shows the strength of Shepparton’s real estate market. According to the REIV, the median sale price for houses in Shepparton has risen by 11.5 percent in the last quarter alone, well above the regional Victorian average increase of 5.1 percent.

Connection project complete SO much of the economy of the Goulburn Valley depends on water and how it is used.

The drought over the last few years, high prices for water and low availability have put enormous pressure on many whose businesses rely upon affordable access to the water.

Not only that, the impact on the environment has had devastating effects in some regions as a consequence of intervalley transfers taking place at the wrong part of the natural cycle.

While irrigation in the Goulburn Valley has been around since the Goulburn Weir was constructed in 1891, it is only in the last few years that major works to modernise the system have been undertaken to provide

Victoria with sustainable access to water into the future.

The $2B Connections Project reset commenced in 2016 as a means of updating the system with a view to saving upwards of 429 gigalitres of water that was being lost from a number of causes. The saved water will be returned to the Environmental Water Holder, to ensure continued river health and protects irrigators from the negative impact of buybacks.

The Victorian Minister for Water, Lisa Neville, has announced that the project is now officially complete.

Minister Neville said since the reset, more than 800 local jobs have been created annually resulting in an annual increase of

the regional GDP of around $170M. “The Connections Project is a huge part of Victoria’s strong track record in delivering environmental outcomes under the Basin Plan in a way that protects irrigators from the negative impacts of buybacks,” Minister Neville said.

“This is about building a legacy for future generations, saving water for the environment, creating rural jobs and supporting long-term productivity for irrigators in the face of climate change.

“The Connections Project is a great model for how we can achieve positive social, economic and environmental results through major investment in water infrastructure.”

How major retailers treat farmers THE old adage, ‘He who has the gold makes the rules’, has never been more apparent than the relationship between major retailers and farmers.

The Federal Government has recently opened an inquiry with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) into the domestic fresh food and dairy supply chain, from the farmgate right through to the retailer, including examining the treatment of farmers in the marketplace.

There are concerns that once farm produce is harvested or processed and sent off to market, producers have little bargaining power and are at the mercy of the powerful supermarkets when it comes to the price they are paid.

Unfortunately, not all interactions between farmers and the major supermarkets are conducted fairly and in good faith and there are bargaining imbalances and other serious issues that need to be looked at.

This inquiry with ACCC is not designed to regulate food prices. Instead, it will identify problems and recommend policy options, including a possible all-encompassing Agricultural Code, if appropriate.

The Government opened this inquiry in response to long held concerns about bargaining imbalances that currently exist and the misuse, and in some cases the abuse, of this power by some sections of the fresh food supply chain.

Importantly, the ACCC has guaranteed that the Inquiry will accept confidential submissions so farmers can provide evidence of harmful practices without the fear of punishment and retribution by the major supermarkets.

The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise ombudsman, Kate Carnell, has thrown her support behind ACCC chairman, Rod Sims’, tough stance on Unfair Contract Terms following his appearance at the National Press Club.

“In November 2016, Treasury legislation amendment (Small Business and Unfair Contract Terms) Act 2015 took effect, that legislation was reviewed in 2018 and here we are, another two years on and small businesses continue to be adversely impacted by big businesses with legal impunity. It’s clear that change is long overdue,” said Ms Carnell.

The current legislation amendment has been sitting with the Treasurer since March with no action being taken. Farmers have a right to feel their interests are not being considered by the Government.

Murchison’s Italian Ossario included in the Victorian Heritage Register THE Italian Ossario at Murchison Cemetery will be included as a Registered Place in the Victorian Heritage Register (V HR) after Heritage Victoria resolved to include it in October.

The inclusion of the Italian Ossario coincides with the commemorations marking the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II this year.

T here a re now 10 site s i n G re ater Shepparton included in the VHR.

The Italian Ossario is considered to be of historic and aesthetic significance as the final resting place of 130 Italian prisoners of war (POWs) and detainees who died in Australia during World War II. It is one of only four foreign war cemeteries located in Australia, two of which are located in Greater Shepparton, the other being the German War Cemetery at Tatura, which is also included in the VHR. The Italian Ossario is a poignant memorial and the only Australian war cemeter y dedicated to Italian civilian internees and POWs.

Rural Dreams: Regional stories readers will recognise DR Margaret Hickey, humanities lecturer at Shepparton’s La Trobe University and award-winning author and play-write, has released a collection of short stories, Rural Dreams, and Shepparton readers may recognise some of the places and characters.

Already into a second print-run after its October 1 release, Dr Hickey’s Rural Dreams takes a look at life outside the big city, introducing readers to the kind of characters you’d expect to find in the country, as well as some you might not.

Speaking with The Adviser, Dr Hickey said the collection of stories has crept up on her, with some of the pieces written more than a decade ago.

“Most of them have won awards or been shortlisted or have been published as single stories in literary journals or as single acts in plays. At one point, I was looking over my work and thought, ‘I’ve got enough for a collection here’,” she said.

“I also noted that everyone and everything I write is written through a rural or regional lens. The focus for my PhD was depictions of landscape in Australian literature and how that shapes character. This is a theme that I obviously hold dear!”

Dr Hickey’s stories are set mainly in regional Victoria, from stories of hardship and loss to homecomings and new beginnings, her writing offers a snapshot into how the lives of these characters intersect with the landscape.

“It’s definitely fiction, but the settings are all places I know and recognise,” she said.

“I’ve always said that landscape shapes character in more ways than we think. In regional Victoria, we’re fortunate to have such beautiful surrounds to draw inspiration from.

“My father was the headmaster of little bush schools, so we travelled around a lot. I went to school in Walwa, Red Hill, Patchewollock, Deans Marsh, Bendigo and after I studied in

Liberals’ release plan to recover Victorian economy THE Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell, has said locals need a government plan that focuses on “getting back to work and back in business” to restore Victoria’s strong economic reputation.

Victoria has been the hardest hit state in the country due to COVID-19 outbreaks and subsequent lockdowns.

Ms Lovell said the Victorian Liberals’ ‘Back to Work and Back in Business’ economic recovery plan will help the state

rebuild from the economic damage done by the virus.

According to Ms Lovell, the plan includes cutting payroll tax until 30 June 2022, establishing a $1B fund to attract manufacturing businesses, and fund ‘Road

Trip for Victoria’ vouchers to stimulate Victorian tourism.

“Major infrastructure projects such as the Shepparton Bypass will also play an important role in the region’s economic recovery,” Ms Lovell said.

Sticking together like magnets SHEPPARTON’S ‘GVFirst’ project, the brainchild of local Nigel Parsons, has taken another leap this week with Willprint

Shepparton printing a prototype of an eyecatching ‘GVFirst’ magnet.

The magnet follows on from the success of the bumper stickers, and is one of a few new items on the horizon, including tote bags and t-shirts, which will help drive home the message of putting the ‘GV First’, encouraging people to shop locally to ensure money is circulated within the region.

“The bumper stickers and other items that will bear the ‘GVFirst’ emblem are a great way for businesses to not only help their community, but also generate publicity for themselves after what has been a tough few months,” Mr Parsons, said.

“By helpi ng suppor t t he bu si ne s s community of Greater Shepparton and beyond, we are looking after those who keep our town thriving.”

GV First bumper stickers are still available for collection from businesses around the Goulburn Valley and Mr Parsons hopes for further items to be available soon.

Is free parking good for business in the CBD? IN the lead up to Christmas in 2019 and for the month following, Council introduced timed complimentary parking for the struggling CBD, much to the delight of traders and customers alike.

While it did not create a rush of new shoppers to the city, it did produce a more relaxed atmosphere where shoppers were not being penalised for a few minutes after a parking meter had expired.

‘Spendmap’ data just released by Council that relates to the spending patterns derived from bank transactions during this period suggest a mild increase in spending as opposed to anything more dramatic, a sense that many traders would concur with. The free, timed-parking trial period coincided with the summer of bushfires in Victoria that saw several of the town’s events cancelled.

Paul Lelliot, marketing director at Camera House said, “It is not that we saw higher trade figures but it was more about happy customers, people who were not under pressure to meet the time that they had paid for at the meter.”

Peter Dunbabin, director at Focus Cards and Gifts expressed the same sentiment: “It created a more relaxed shopping experience,” he said.

The data is to some extent, perhaps misleading, given that it was taken as a picture of bank transactions for the whole of Shepparton without specifying it was for traders in the CBD alone. A change in spending across the whole region would not be likely to change significantly year in, year out.

The challenge now for the incoming councillors is to live up to their election promises. Most spoke against paid parking and the need to revitalise the CBD. Speaking on behalf of the Greater Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry, president John Anderson, said, “The best reflection of what is required was in the independent survey conducted among traders and shoppers over the period that indicated 95 percent of

traders and the community favoured free timed parking for the CBD. We are campaigning to have the trial period go for longer than a couple of months, 12 months for instance, as a means of assessing its full impact on the region.”

With paid parking having a net financial impact on Council coffers of some $200K, the detrimental impact to traders and shoppers alike is much greater and needs to be reconsidered. It is now up to the new batch of councillors to live up to their promises.

Dinny Adem and Ben Ladson were just outside the top nine, meaning they could be relying on preference flows to reach the quota required to be elected.

Candidates Royden James, Zahra Haydar Big, Shelley Sutton, Andrew Bock, Allan Turner, and Steve Neff were well behind.

Vote counting was paused over the weekend and for yesterday’s Melbourne Cup Public Holiday, with up to 10,000 remaining ballot packs still to be processed.

17 candidates stood for the nine seats available on Council. Four incumbent councillors did not seek re-election, meaning the new-look Council could have up to four new faces.

Lovell seeks funding to repair and upgrade Ross Street in Tatura THE Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell, has called on the State Government to provide funding to repair and upgrade Ross Street in Tatura.

Ross Street forms part of route C357 through the township with the Tatura-Undera Road and the Murchison-Tatura Road from Undera to Murchison.

During the adjournment debate in State Parliament last week, Ms Lovell sought a funding commitment from the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Ben Carroll, to repair and upgrade the road to reflect the quantity and type of vehicles that use the thoroughfare, highlighting the damage to the road’s surface between Edgar Street and William Street.

While initially built predominately for the use of passenger vehicles, the C357, including Ross Street, is now the major thoroughfare for heavy vehicles transporting goods to

Melbourne from the northern and western parts of the Goulburn Valley.

“Ross Street is not built to handle the many heavy vehicles that use it and the Minister needs to commit funding to first repair and then upgrade the road for these vehicles for the safety of all motorists,” Ms Lovell said.

In response to a specific enquiry about Ross Street by The Adviser, a spokesperson from Minister Carroll’s office said, “Last maintenance season, around 1,500km of regional roads were improved thanks to the State Government’s $425M investment over two years to rebuild and resurface arterial roads.

“T he Vic toria n G over n ment is investing more than ever before to make country roads safer and has doubled spending on road maintenance compared with the Liberals who let country roads fall into disrepair for four long years.”

Integrity is everything

By Sarah Knight WELL-maintained equipment operated by highly-skilled, reliable and wellpresented staff, has always and continues to be paramount to PJ’s Concrete Pumping.

Combined with the commitment to continuous improvement and the founding core value of integrity to deliver a high standard service: That’s the PJ’s promise.

It’s a promise that has seen the PJ’s Concrete Pumping business record yearon-year growth since their establishment 20 years ago, and one that’s earnt the team their superior reputation as one of the best in the business.

Family-owned and operated, the business services regional Victoria and Southern NSW with a combined staff of 14 and fleet of eight concrete pumps.

Peter and Rhonda are extremely proud to have the involvement of their son Keelan as manager and daughters Ashlin and Maddison in administration.

For 61-year-old business owner Peter Don, the importance of maintaining their high standard of service delivery is more about customer satisfaction than building an empire.

“I’ve always been far more interested in pleasing people, and it’s rewarding to know you have when you can see it on their faces,” he said.

This is a business cultivated by a man,

Page 16 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1533 Wednesday, November 4, 2020

self-made in his success, that even in the shortest of conversations you gain a sense of why now 20 years on, the business is still growing and reaching new levels of success.

Humble, loyal and compassionate, Peter Don is the kind of man you’d want to get out of bed to go to work for. His genuine commitment to his team is truly moving, and one he takes very seriously.

“I’m a big believer that employing people full time is a two-way investment, they have the stability they need to build their personal lives and we have people that are invested in and committed to our business,” he said.

“Our team is proud to work for PJ’s and they’re all long-term employees, including administration bookkeeper, Julie, who has been with us on a regular basis for over ten years.

“I’ve never been one to put staff off, even in challenging times. Rhonda and I would rather do without in order to keep staff on - we treat our team as our mates and they are.”

Quick to share his knowledge and guidance, both personally and professionally, if he can help someone out, Peter is happy to do so.

PJ’s Concrete Pumping is a testament to the outcomes made possible when you combine authenticity with passion and determination, acknowledged Peter, before stating that even though he hasn’t come from a highly educated background, there’s not an obstacle he hasn’t been able to overcome.

A family legacy RHONDA AND PETER DON OWNERS

“At PJ’s Concrete Pumping our staff are such an integral part of our business. It’s reassuring when we send our guys out on a job site that they are equipped and competent to complete each job to the customer’s satisfaction, no matter how challenging the task may be.

“They take their job and safety seriously, whether it’s a house slab or a commercial construction site.

“We are very fortunate to be located here in Shepparton to be able to service our customers here, but it also allows us to travel within an hour and a half to numerous towns and locations to pump for repeat and new customers. We are also very lucky to have our family alongside us in the business.

“We take pride in our business and we have pride in our guys - we look after them and they look after us.”

What is concrete pumping?

Some hard facts

A CONCRETE pump is a machine used for the transferring and placing of concrete to where it is required. There are many varied uses of a concrete pump, including domestic, industrial and commercial applications. revolutionised the building industry and has trickled down LABOUR-SAVING: PRIOR to the wide-spread use of from being used in commercial concreting to now being used concrete pumps, many work sites relied on the use of wheel for residential structures. barrows and arduous labour to complete jobs. The ability to transport and pump concrete to very tall structures

THERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF CONCRETE PUMPS:

1

A boom concrete pump is attached to a truck or longer units that are on semi-trailers. A boom concrete pump uses a remotecontrolled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. Boom pumps are used on most large-scale construction projects as they are capable of pumping at very high volumes, due to the labour-saving nature of the placing boom.

2

A line pump, or trailer-mounted concrete pump, is either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer. This pump requires steel or flexible concrete-placing hoses to be manually attached to the outlet of the machine. These hoses are linked together and lead to wherever the concrete needs to be placed. Normally, line pumps pump concrete at lower volumes than boom pumps. They are used for smaller volume concrete placing applications such as home concrete slabs, most ground slabs footpaths and swimming pools.

PJ’s Concrete Pumping offer both types of concrete pumping, with their fleet of eight trucks, ranging from 25m to 42m, able to cover all concreting needs.

Why it’s important to shop locally BUSINESSES in regional towns and smaller rural communities rely on residents spending their money locally, rather than heading out of town to go shopping or purchasing online.

If residents spend their money locally, it circulates within the town, benefitting everyone. On the flip side, if residents spend their money elsewhere or online, money leaves the region, benefitting others. Local shops suffer and eventually close, leaving the town worse off.

The choice of where you shop can have a huge impact on your town. Here’s how: 1.

W hen money is spent at local shops or on local services, these businesses stay open and employ more people 2.

With more employment

prospects, younger people are more likely to stay in the town 3.

With more employed younger people in the town, the population remains vibrant. Football and netball clubs thrive, families have children who go to local schools 4.

Then, when it’s time to buy school shoes for the kids or find a carpenter to extend your kitchen, these shops and services are available in town Local businesses also support nonprofit organisations at a higher rate than big businesses. These could be the local football club, but also other essential organisations such as the CFA or Rotary Club.

The domino effect starts with where you choose to spend your money.
