Re-launch of an undiscovered gem

A REL A XING atmosphere where you can celebrate at a function, sit down to lunch, enjoy a walk through history, heal your mind, body and soul, shop for your outdoor areas, take your kids on an adventure or treat yourself to something sweet is often hard to come by, but not in Shepparton. Emerald Bank Leisure Land has all of this and more and is transforming from an undiscovered gem into a must visit location. 17 years ago, it began as a dream of local philanthropist,

Lloyd Mawson to create a space that the whole family could enjoy. Today, Emerald Bank has become just that, and there are exciting times ahead. Emerald Bank’s new owner, Jim Andreadis said, “In almost two decades Emerald Bank has become quite established under Lloyd Mawson’s ownership. The number of businesses has increased and it has gained an identity

and fantastic reputation. And of course, it’s easily identifiable because of the Dutch windmill, which used to be part of the display at the old International Village. “There have been some exciting things that have happened at Emerald Bank over the last year. “Many of the businesses have expanded or renovated, and some businesses have recently changed hands,” Jim said.

An undiscovered gem

Re-launch of an undiscovered gem Continued from front page of this feature JIM said, “After opening four years ago, the Shepparton Motor Museum & Collectibles has increased in size, had new exhibits installed such as the Furphy Museum and is currently undergoing another expansion that will almost double its floor space. “Barclay’s Antiques & Collectables completed its extension to accommodate the huge range of antiques. “The Windmill Chocolate Shop & Café has been

remodelled and extended. “The Woolshed has changed hands and has had a vast amount of work done, with more expected in the coming months. “Riverside Gardens has had renovations and work done to rejuvenate the premises. “Perhaps one of the most exciting things to come in the short term is the introduction of Shepparton’s first accredited farmers market, which is kicking off from this Sunday. It has

the potential to become a popular monthly event. “On top of everything Emerald Bank has to offer, it is also heading towards having a minimal impact on the environment. A lot of the businesses have solar panels and there are plans in place for them all to become almost completely self sufficient in the future. We also reuse water from the car parks and other areas to water the grounds. “There is a willingness, a desire and many ideas to move Emerald Bank forward, which is quite exciting.”

Shepparton’s first dedicated farmers’ market

SHEPPARTON’S first dedicated Farmers’ Market is set to launch this weekend on the grounds of the Shepparton Motor Museum & Collectibles at Emerald Bank. Held this coming Sunday, and then every first Sunday of the month there after, the Shepparton Farmers’ Market will have a dedicated focus on connecting local producers and growers with local consumers. Developed in line with the Victorian Farmers’ Market Association guidelines, the Shepparton Farmers’ Market will seek to be formally recognised as an accredited market within its first few months of operation. With the growing interest in the Farmers’ Market and Slow

Food movement. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of where their food comes from and have a desire to get to know and support their local farmers. Market coordinator, Helen Moutafis said, “There will be over 30 vendors for the inaugural market and we are expecting to see that number grow. The Shepparton Farmers’ Market will be the perfect place to connect

consumers with the growers and makers of the Goulburn Valley region.” With the inclusion of the Shepparton Farmers’ Market on the monthly calendar, it will be now possible to stock up on a fortnightly basis in Greater Shepparton with the Mooroopna Farmers’ Market held at Ferrari Park on the third Sunday of the month. “It looks like Sundays are shaping up to be the day to support your local supplier,” Helen said.

LOCAL PINNED WITH MEDAL… Local resident, Azem Elmaz officially received his Order of Australia Medal recently, after being announced a recipient of the award as part of the Queen’s Birthday honours list. Photo: Supplied.

By David Lee GREAT honours were bestowed upon one of Shepparton’s most notable residents at Parliament House in Canberra recently, when Azem Elmaz was officially pinned with the Order of Australia Medal he was awarded as part of this year’s Queens Birthday honours list. Azem was named as a recipient of the award in June this year thanks to his tireless work he caries out within the local community. From helping those who would otherwise go without a meal to providing relief in the form of a meal and break to locals who are fighting natural disasters such as bush fires or flood events, Azem has a passion for giving back to others and gives hundreds of dollars worth of food and meals out to anybody in the community who needs it each week.

Azem said, “It was great to meet all of the dignitaries and was a really great day. “Parliament House was just…wow. There are now words to describe it. “I drove down in the People Supporting People soup kitchen ute, and they were all surprised when I drove up in it. “I never expect these types of things in my life. I am really honoured to have received it. “I came to Australia with nothing and to be recognised in this beautiful country is wonderful. I am very proud of myself and proud to be living in such a wonderful country. “Serving other people is pleasing. I love it. Putting a smile on a person’s face is priceless. “I encourage other people to do all they can to help one another. It is one of the most rewarding things in life.”

Exciting times ahead for SAM and Shepparton WITH last week’s announcement of five architects shortlisted for the design of the all new Shepparton Art Museum (SAM), Shepparton is in for some exciting times. Through Greater Shepparton City Council’s tendering process, the five architects, Denton Corker Marshall Pty Ltd, John Wardle Architects, Kerstin Thompson Architects, Lyons, and MvS Architects were chosen from a staggering 88 applications. At an official announcement last week, SAM director, Dr Rebecca Coates said the selection process was difficult because there were so many outstanding applicants. “Council was thanked by the jurors for their detailed effort,” Dr Coates said during the selection process and acknowledged what

council had done. When referring to the new SAM, she said that the building was “not just a museum” and that it would be the first major building as visitors entered the city. She went on to encourage the general public to have their say, get involved, and get excited about the project. The select design competition will close on December 14, 2016, with viewing of the five designs to be open to the public for comment on January 16, 2017 and closing on February 17, a jury to report to be compiled, executive and council briefings and a council meeting to be held between February 21 and April 18, 2017 and the public announcement of the winning design to be made on April 27, 2017.

Tournament success caps great year for GV Suns THE Goulburn Valley Suns (GV Suns) National Premier League (NPL) junior squads’ won, or were runners up, in every age group from U12 through to U17 at the recent Australian Football Skool (AFS) tournament held in Shepparton. The AFS tournament attracted more than 110 teams representing leagues, football academies and clubs from across Victoria as well as interstate and New Zealand. GV Suns co-technical director, Reno Lia said, “Across the board, GV Suns’ teams delivered great performances across the two days, and we couldn’t have been prouder of their conduct on and off the pitch.”

The tournament also saw the debut of two GV Suns girls’ teams. Both teams delivered great performances with the GV Suns U16 girls runners up in their competition. GV Suns vice-president, Paul Uniacke said, “Playing in the National Premier League is a massive step up for our young players. Many go from being amongst the best in their local teams, to standing up against entire teams that are their equal or better across a twenty-seven round competition. “At the tournament, our squads showed how far they have developed on the pitch

and how far the club has come in three years.” Reno said the NPL home and away season saw all junior age groups finish the year in the lower half of their league table with every age group delivering stand out performances across the season. “For example, our U16 recorded a handful of wins and draws for the season but they recorded them against the league’s top three clubs, and each of these clubs has been playing at this level for at least 40 years. The squad then capped off the year by winning the tournament. “It shows the Goulburn Valley has terrific

AN Indigenous led development labelled ‘Our Future in Our Hands’ is set to put Greater Shepparton on the international tourism map and generate up to 2,000 new jobs and millions of dollars in annual revenue for the town during and after construction. The project is being driven by a new model joint venture between Indigenous people and private investors based on business development projects undertaken by First Nations’ peoples in North America. At its hub is a world-class Aboriginal Cultural Centre that includes a museum, gallery, theatre and conference facilities. Two new international standard hotels are proposed, as well as serviced apartments, and a restaurant and dining facilities serving locally sourced Indigenous ingredients, with the benefits expected to flow into the local hotel and hospitality sector catering for an expected jump in tourists to the region. Early economic estimates indicate up to 1,500 new jobs will be generated during the five year construction period with an additional 500 jobs to resource the tourism precinct beyond that. The total investment in new infrastructure has been estimated at $300M with large annual returns expected to flow into local businesses and to council through rates. Project Director and elder, Neville Atkinson said, “This is a new approach to improve employment rates and income, health levels and available housing for local Indigenous people, while providing great economic opportunities and benefits for the wider Shepparton community and business sector. “This project will make Greater Shepparton an international leader in Indigenous tourism. We have done our research, and there is nothing like this fully immersive Indigenous experience on offer anywhere else in Australia and so close to a major city.”

Opportunity for artists and patrons alike ENTRIES INVITED FOR CERAMIC AWARDS… Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Archipelago, 2015, mixed media, dimensions variable, Shepparton Art Museum. Photo: Christian Capurro.

SHEPPARTON Art Museum (SAM) is inviting entries for the 2017 Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic Award (SMFACA), which has opened online with a $50,000 prize to be awarded to one of five shortlisted Australian artists. SAM director, Dr Rebecca Coates said, “SAM is delighted to present the 2017 Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramic Award. Over the last few years, we have seen contemporary artists working with ceramics in new and exciting ways. “We could even say there’s been a renaissance of sorts in the contemporary

ceramics world with artists taking risks, exploding perceptions of size and scale, challenging notions of the material, and all to engage with ideas that resonate with all of us living and making sense of our contemporary world. “These artists are part of a long artistic tradition of Australian artists working in the ceramics medium. Each in their own way has explored the medium, extended and challenged our understanding of its possibilities, and along the way, created works that inspire, challenge, and intrigue.” The 2017 SMFACA exhibition will

run from 17 June to 13 August 2017. Five shortlisted recipients will each receive a $2,000 stipend to produce a body of work for exhibition at SAM and artists will work with the support of curatorial staff at SAM throughout the planning of their exhibitions. One of the five shortlisted artists will be awarded a $50,000 acquisitive cash prize, and their work will enter the SAM Collection. The prize-winning work will be announced at the official opening on Saturday, June 17, 2017. Visit www.sheppartonartmuseum.com.au for your chance to be in the running and for more information.

Refreshingly unique summer styles By Nicholise Garner WHEN I moved to Shepparton after years of big city living I got a nice surprise to find a store with really beautiful and unique dresses here in town. I guess I’m kind of ‘quirky’ in my style and was pretty much delighted when I happened upon a variety of really unique and beautiful dresses and shoes. The combination of style and affordability in this treasure find has made this one of my favourite stops. A dedicated writer, I’m afraid my secret is now out. Harris Scarfe store manager Michael Desimone said, “At Harris Scarfe we take great pride in the boutique and high-end

fashion we have on offer. In time for this year’s spring racing carnival, we have a variety of fascinators, Khoko and Simply Vera Wang dresses along with stylish bags, shoes and accessories to complete the look. Also at Harris Scarfe we have recently embraced a fresh approach to pricing enabling customers to get the look that they want for a price they’ll love.” Drop in to Harris Scarfe in Shepparton’s Maude Street Mall to stock up on some ‘go-to’ dresses that are truly beautiful as well as reasonably priced.

I am looking forward to the challenge ahead and hopefully, we can all work to ge t her a s a go o d te a m a nd ge t Shepparton really moving forward.” The new councillors were officially swor n i n t h is mor n i ng, w it h each taking the councillor oath, and it is expected that their first special council meeting will take place on November 15, where the councillors who will take the seats of mayor and deputy mayor will be elected, and the first ordinary council meeting will be held on November 22.

Court Services Victoria chief operating officer, Brian Stevenson said, “The program is running to schedule and we expect that the $73M Shepparton Law Courts will be operational late next year. “A gantry was installed last month to allow pedestrians to continue accessing the footpaths of both Wyndham and High Streets from under the gantry. Locals may have noticed traffic management diversions, which are being managed by “ADCO and VIC Roads to minimise disruption to the community as much as possible. “Although there has been significant wet weather and the potential for delays, the construction prog ram remains on schedule.”

The household chemical collection program will be available on Saturday, November 12 from 10am to 1pm and Greater Shepparton City Council, in partnership with Sustainability Victoria, is encouraging residents to take the opportunity to get rid of unwanted and potentially dangerous items like pesticides, detergents and weed killers. Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure, Steve Bowmaker encou raged p eople to d ispose of household chemicals in a safe manner. “They can harm your family and your pets, add extra fuel to a house fire, release toxic fumes and pollute the environment for future generations, which is why residents should take advantage of the free Detox your Home service to safely dispose of unwanted items. “Do the right thing for your loved ones and your environment and Detox your Home. It’s easy and it’s free.” The Shepparton Resource Recovery Precinct is located at 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton.

chief The

THERE is just something special about a 1953 Pontiac Belmont Chieftain Coupe and that is why local resident, Anthony Selva couldn’t turn it down when he saw it for sale in Canada almost two years ago. Anthony’s Pontiac is a two door, six cylinder, manual that has only seen just over 81,000 miles and as the third owner of the vehicle, Anthony says that there are some features that were ahead of its time. “For something of its time it is pretty

good. It boasts heating under the driver’s seat and in the centre of the dash it has a speaker that doubles as a clock,” Anthony said. “It has custom chrome trimming all over the interior and exterior. When I got it, I lowered it and put white line radial tyres on, but other than that it is in completely original condition. “It is beautiful to drive. Actually, it drives like a new car.”

John Brain

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE heard it said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to build than renovate, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced that for myself. Renovations can be difficult, it requires real dedication and a keen eye for attention to detail, as the old and the new are tied together, but it can be well worth it. I walked into Panda Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current work site, a 1950s renovation, to meet business owner, Paul Anderson. I was in awe of the character and warmth Paul had injected into this beautiful old home. Paul said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing I love about renovating is bringing an old home to life in a way that meets a modern familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. One of the most important aspects in renovating for me is making sure that the finishes are of high quality. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little things that most people overlook that make the world of difference.â&#x20AC;? Paul said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every job I do, I aim to do it as if it were my own home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a priority that my clients are 100

Locals to take on highest heights CLIMBING TO THE TOP… Local resident, Allan Connolly will be joining Michelle Judd later this month to take on the Eureka Climb challenge. Photo: Mathieu Ryan.

LOCAL residents, Michelle Judd and Allan Connolly are about to embark on an adventure that will take them to the highest heights…well, at least the highest heights of Melbourne, when they take on the Eureka Tower for the Eureka Climb challenge. The race to the top of Melbourne’s tallest building is set to raise much ne eded f u nds for cha r it y pa r t ner’s Whitelion and Interplast, and will see participants from across the country and overseas clamber their way to the top on Sunday, November 13. One of the highest vertical races in the world, the annual Eureka Climb, pre s ented by O steoE z e , ch a l lenge s participants with 88 levels, 1,642 stairs and 300m of vertical elevation. Allan said, “This is the first time I have attempted the Eureka Climb. I have done stair climbs in the past, including the Rialto Tower climb three times. That

Footy season

was 54 floors and over 20 years ago. “T h is yea r I have completed t he series of ‘Stadium Stomp,’ which is a stair climbing event at the MCG in Melbourne, SCG in Sydney, Adelaide Oval and the GABBA in Brisbane. “I loved the challenge of each of those events and the atmosphere around the event. Everyone is there for the same reasons. To take on a challenge and just to finish. With the Eureka Tower this year this is also my goal, to complete the event. “Being my first time doing this, I have no time expectations and look forward to getting lost in the atmosphere. I also know that it will be very hard work. “C o m i n g f r o m t h e f l at a r e a of S heppa r ton , I a m hopi ng t h at my training by doing Shepparton Parkrun e ac h we e k a nd t r a i n i n g w it h t h e Shepparton Runners club puts me in good stead.”

Riding to support families in crisis

dates set for next year THE GOTAFE GVFL Board has ratified 2017 season dates following recommendations from club delegates. Whilst the final draft is still to be provided to clubs for feedback on specific games and requests, the 2017 season will commence at Easter with round one to be played the weekend of April 14 and 15, a full bye will be held for the AFL Victoria Community Championships in May where the GVFL expect to face off against arch rivals Ovens and Murray, a split round will be held over two weekends for round 16, the finals will commence on the weekend of September 2 and the grand final will be played on Sunday, September 24 at Deakin Reserve in Shepparton. GOTAFE GVFL chairman, David Roff is pleased with the discussion and input of clubs into next year’s fixture structure. “After a thorough fixture review process held during 2015, we committed to a revised structure with a more balanced home and away format. “This was well received this season and with a little bit of tinkering around feature games and historical rivalries the final fixture will be ratified at our annual general meeting on November 30. “As the final piece in the fixture review process the Board has also set up a subcommittee to review the structure of the finals series and this will be completed early in the new year with recommendations to be presented to clubs for discussion prior to the start of the season.”

OVER the past three years the Tatura 200 Charity Bike Ride has provided over $160,000 to Goulburn Valley Mental Health to support our region’s needs. This year, Tatura Milk will be supporting VincentCare and the Victoria Police to help raise awareness of domestic violence in our community and raise further funds to meet the financial needs of this cause. Tatura Milk remunerations manager, Christian Willmott said, “In our first year running this event we raised $60,000 and this year we have already raised over $145,000 with more than 400 people participating in the ride. “We are donating $75,000 this year to VincentCare with the commitment to also donate $50,000 in 2017 and $50,000 in 2018. This money will go towards providing services and support for women and children affected by domestic violence.”

Page 22 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1327 Wednesday, November 2, 2016

Christian said, “We see domestic violence within our community as a critical problem and want to do what we can as a company and as a bike ride to support the community where domestic violence is concerned. The funds we have raised will help VincentCare’s Marion House with services that they offer and safety equipment they can supply to victims of domestic violence.” Marian House manager, Greg Laidlaw said, “One person each week dies in Australia from domestic violence. The funds we receive from this event will benefit people we work with enormously. We will be able to provide women in danger with ‘Be Safe’ alarms and we will be working to bring a lot of the services our clients need, under the one roof, making services more accessible to families at risk.” The Tatura 200 Charity Bike Ride will take place this weekend, Saturday, November 5.
