Mall open to traffic possible

By David Lee A TRIAL run of opening the Maude Street Mall to traffic could be on the cards following the passing of a motion outlining several options to revitalise the mall at a recent council meeting.

The motion was passed in response to a consultation process carried out to determine the views of the local community, which saw 638 responses collected overall.

Problems finally addressed

Council and VicRoads collaborating to repair issues

By David Lee A F T E R t h re e ye a r s at tempt i ng to communicate with VicRoads and Greater Shepparton City Council to resolve a drainage and footpath issue endured by Shepparton Access, Shepparton Access CEO, Wendy Shanks is pleased that the two organisations are now taking steps to repair

the damage.

For many years, rain events have been seeing water up to 20cm high flooding the all-ability parking space in front of the Shepparton Access building, causing families and those accessing the service to be forced to drive onto the footpath to avoid rising water and ensure the safety of those

who they are picking up or dropping off.

The footpath outside 219-225 Wyndham Street has also been a problem, with tree roots lifting the footpath causing trip hazards. Last week, VicRoads and council met at the site, and made the decision to work together to alleviate both problems.

William Cooper to be immortalised in bronze A STATUE is set to be erected at the Queens Gardens to honour the life of William Cooper.

The life size, bronze cast statue will be complete and ready to install in November, with the Queens Gardens selected as the site being a recognised iconic park.

William Cooper, an Australian Aboriginal political activist and community leader was born on Yorta Yorta country over 100 years ago. Some of William Cooper’s achievements include being responsible for the establishment of NAIDOC Week, for establishing the Aboriginal Advancement League, representing in parliament, enfranchisement and land rights and to King George V and putting

together a petition to the German Consulate at the persecution of Jews several weeks after Kristallnacht in Germany (December 6, 1938).

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem is pleased Shepparton will now be able to truly honour and acknowledge William and his work.

“William Cooper was an amazing man, and placing a statue in his honour at the Queens Gardens will acknowledge his lasting local, national and international legacy and highlight his work and life.

“I am proud to have such a man from and recognised in our city, and I am excited to see it complete later this year,” Cr Adem said.

“This is the best season we’ve had in five years”

By David Lee WHILE the fruit season started late this year, SPC has had a bumper season with its peach production.

With the intake starting on January 25, and the season set to end this week, SPC has processed 18,000 tonnes or 47,000 bins of peaches and has experienced a 12 percent favourable yield.

SPC manufacturing manager, Matt Rogers said, “While tonnage was slightly down on intake this year, we have noticed a favourable yield due to being able to process them at a faster rate.

“This has come about thanks to strong

pre-season work and preparation, a lot of planning and thanks to the improved reliability and improved through-put rates it has allowed us to stay up with the fruit.

“There have been points through the season where we were ahead of ourselves.

“We weren’t even close to finishing this time last year.

“The engagement of all staff in the factory has been fantastic this year.

Everybody has gone above and beyond, which has helped achieve such a good result.

“This is the best season we’ve had in five years.”

Wall art project launched THE first of many planned murals to be installed on walls across the city was finished being painted on Sunday, with local artist, Matt Adnate painting two wellknown Indigenous locals on the east wall of GV Water in Fryers Street.

The project has come about through a collaboration between Greater Shepparton City Council, Rumbalara Co-Op and Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and aims to enhance awareness and celebrate the local Aboriginal culture and history.

The first mural is 15m wide and has been commissioned as a dedication to both the late William Cooper and the late Pastor Sir Douglas Nicholls KCVO OBE MBE. Both William Cooper and Sir Douglas Nicholls were chosen as part of the consultation process to recognise the local Aboriginal people, and both have been approved to feature in a mural by both the Rumbalara Elders Committee and also the Yorta Yorta Elders Committee. The families of both William Cooper and Sir Douglas Nicholls have also been consulted by council regarding the mural and have confirmed that they are honoured to have both individuals recognised as part of the project.

Nicholls, Aunty Pam Pederson said that her father was a great man and stated that her favourite quote of the late Sir Douglas Nicholls was, “You can play a tune on black keys, you can play a tune on white keys, but both are needed for perfect harmony.”

Nephew of Sir Douglas Nicholls, Robert Nicholls advised council that he was proud of his late Uncle and appreciated the

opportunity to have him recognised as part of a mural alongside Sir Douglas Nicholls’ Great Uncle and ‘legend’ William Cooper.

As part of the project, council hopes to recognise additional local Aboriginal people and has confirmed that it will next dedicate a mural to two Aboriginal women selected by the Aboriginal Elders, which will be announced later in the year.

Sheed calls for speaker allegations to be dealt with appropriately INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed has called for the matters relating to the former speaker and deputy speaker to be referred to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.

“The resignation of Mr Telmo Languiller as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and Mr Don Nardella, the Deputy Speaker has been a blow to our Parliament,” Ms Sheed said.

“Despite the PWC Audit report which was handed down today,

there remains such a cloud hanging over the Legislative Assembly, and this matter must be dealt with.

“I am recommending this matter be referred to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee, as this is what occurred in the last Parliament when Geoff Shaw was found to have misused his benefits.

“In the meantime, I am concentrating on my electorate and the needs of my constituents,” Ms Sheed said.

Get yourself to the Emerald Bank markets

By Nicholise Garner I TOOK six children between the ages of four and 11 out to visit the Emerald Bank markets earlier this month. To most people that sounds like a recipe for disaster but let me just say, it was such a lovely morning out.

The Emerald Bank complex hosts two popular markets concurrently from 9am to 1pm on the first Sunday of each month, and the combination of both markets makes for a value filled, vibrant and fun day out. The Village Market Shepparton is run by Emerald Bank Leisure Land and Shepparton Farmer’s Market is run by the Shepparton Motor Museum.

I was able to stock up on fruit and vegetables, enjoy a sausage in bread with the kids and we all had fun exploring the markets. The children were so impressed by the specially designed children’s managed stalls that they spent a lot of time being little entrepreneurs dreaming up ideas about what they’d sell if they started a stall of their own.

Between the two markets we were able to make it a shopping expedition for fresh foods at low cost as well as explore the huge variety of market arts, gifts and jewellery and that’s not even taking into account what comes with the Emerald Bank site!

Each and every month this market grows

and develops. I got to speak with Emerald Bank Complex owner, Jim Andreadis who told me, “Every month we learn something new in the process of the market’s development. We’re listening to the people and responding to seasonal demand and supply as we work to be sure that there is a good variety of fresh produce and lots of new and interesting stalls each month to keep people coming back.”

Visit Emerald Bank this Sunday, April 2 from 9am to 1pm and experience the Village Shepparton Market and the Shepparton Farmer’s Market for yourself.

Victoria Park Lake clean up on this week GR EAT ER Shepparton City Council will commence the work of ribbon weed cutting this week at the waterbody of the Victoria Park Lake for routine vegetation maintenance.

The works, which started on Monday, will run to Friday, March 31 between 6am to 6pm. During this time, the lake will be closed for all public use including boating and swimming, to ensure the maintenance takes place both effectively and safely. Other

surrounding grassed areas will still be open and not affected by the works.

The process involves the use of an aquatic harvester boat, which cuts the plant below the surface and through the use of a conveyor stores the cut material on board for later disposal. The boat will be on the lake for five days, limiting the amount of plant growing near the surface, pieces breaking off, washing up on banks and floating on the surface within the recreational activity areas.

Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Parks, Sport and Recreation, Heath Chasemore outlined that the works are part of regular routine maintenance of the area.

“Council will ensure that the works are completed to a high standard and that fish and animals living in the lake won’t be harmed.

“Ribbon weed will remain in the wetland and other areas for its water treatment properties and animal habitat.”

W hy K ip McGrath? K ip McGrath offers many programs including Maths and English, essay writing, study skills and extension programs, for Primary and Secondary students. With over 40 years of tutoring experience, Kip McGrath helps kids whether they need intervention, or help to stay on top of their work, or en rich ment for g i f ted a nd t a lented students. Kip McGrath adapts with the learning needs, and moved away from the old pen and paper/textbook “tutoring” with random programs on a CD, into an interactive learning platform where your child’s learning program automatically adapts according to the progress your child makes. This is the learning style kids prefer these days, and also gives them immediate feedback. It also allows parents to know exactly what their children learnt each lesson and what the results were. Tutors introduce skill builders when the child needs it. If there is a gap in the learning, this area is taught until your child understands and can do the work independently. It is amazing to see how this teaching method sees students accelerate in their learning. Best of all, as the students are achieving success and working on the correct levels, most parents can see an immediate improvement in the child’s self-esteem.

Kip McGrath in Shepparton is registered with the Australian Tutoring Association,

ensuring parents can have peace of mind about our accountability for the quality of work and Child Safety Standards. Before you as parent pick a tutor, please visit the ATA website https://ata.edu.au/find-a-tutor/ and research Shepparton in the city box, to ensure the tutor you are considering, is in fact accredited by the ATA. If the tutor is not listed there, why are they not accredited?

CCTV leads the way in security. With the advancement of technology, particularly in smart phone integration, we have also seen the advancement of camera quality with IP digital cameras.

Insight Protection Solutions Pty Ltd managing director, Mark Liversidge said, “Security is a very important part of people’s lives now days, from their homes, to their businesses or just walking down the street. Cameras are everywhere, and we are seeing a large proportion of our customers installing CCTV. “Security integrates with a phone app so that clients can check on their property, their kids, their pets, even their lawns. The app can even be used to turn electrical device on and off and open doors remotely.

“A lot of our customers have both alarm systems and CCTV installed and if an alarm is activated, they’re able to just open

the app on their phone and have a look to see what’s happening. It’s convenient and people love it.”

Mark also talked about licensing and insurance. “It’s probably not something people stop to think about, but the Victorian Security Industry is regulated

by Victoria Police Private Agents and businesses and technicians installing security equipment must be registered.

When you have arranged your security, you don’t want to have an insurance problem later down the track if your equipment hasn’t been installed by a registered provider.”

Heritage Grants Program to be launched GREATER Shepparton City Council in association with the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee will begin a Heritage Grants Program in the 2017/2018 financial year.

The Heritage Grants Program will assist owners of properties covered by a Heritage Overlay to conserve these places for future generations to appreciate. The program seeks to promote good conservation practice (maintenance, preservation, reconstruction or restoration) works that improve the physical security or appearance of a place, whilst being respectful of the place’s significance.

The establishment of a Heritage Grants Program was a recommendation of the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Sustainable Development, Johann Rajaratnam, said, “Our heritage enriches our community, and its unique character provides a sense of identity and pride.

“Council already provides a free heritage advisory service to all

property owners, land developers, tradespeople in the building industry and owners of buildings in the Heritage Overlay. The Heritage Grants Program will help to secure the future of many of our heritage places and ensure our heritage is preserved for many generations to enjoy,” Mr Rajaratnam said.

The Heritage Grants Program will seek to support conservation works to shops and public buildings that are not owned by Council or other public bodies and houses across the municipality.

Grants of up to $5,000 are available on a $1 to $1 basis.

Eligible works generally do not include routine maintenance works, unless that maintenance ensures the longevity of a place’s significance.

Eligible works may include works to restore missing physical elements, including verandah, parapet, awning and fence reinstatements (based on historic evidence), and works that ensure the physical security and improve the longevity of significant elements of the place such as re-stumping, re-roofing, and replacing guttering, windows and doors, etc.

Breaking down language barriers LEGAL matters can be confusing for most people, but community members who have English as a second language can be particularly vulnerable when it comes to understanding local laws and their rights and obligations, this is where Zeno Lawyers can help.

Zeno Lawyers business owner and principal solicitor, Samira Zeno recognises a need in our community for multi-lingual legal support. Based in Melbourne Samira has now made her practice available to the Shepparton community. Samira said, “I have noticed that Shepparton is quite multicultural and I

understand that language barriers can make it difficult for people to understand their legal rights. Zeno Lawyers is a multicultural group made up of three solicitors and two administrators…all from different cultures.

“Between us, we speak English, Chaldean, Urdu, Assyrian, Turkish and Arabic and we assist in family, criminal, business and conveyancing matters. We manage all areas of law and I personally speak Arabic and have a special interest in family, children, property and intervention law including wills and estates.

“My co-worker, solicitor, Turgut Ozcitti

speaks Turkish and has a special interest in criminal and business law and our junior solicitor Diana Shamou speaks Chaldean and Assyrian and practices in conveyancing and family law.

“Our Shepparton office is managed by English speaking local, Kieran Lock and Mohammad Abdullah who is studying to be a solicitor and speaks Urdu, administrates our Melbourne office.”

GOTAFE students recognised OUTSTANDING STUDENTS… Students at GOTAFE were recognised recently for their accomplishments, during a recent awards recognition ceremony at the Quality hotel Parklake in Shepparton. Photo: Supplied.

GOTAFE celebrated the success of their students recently night with an Awards Recognition Ceremony held at the Quality Hotel Parklake in Shepparton.

The event recognised students who successfully completed their studies in 2016 within the services sector including Business, IT, Art and Design, Sport and Recreation, Community Services and Health.

Rylie Kerambrun from Shepparton took out the Outstanding Community Services Student award, Sarah Trevena of Bendigo received the Outstanding Health Student award and Stephanie Bell from Yarrawonga was awarded the Outstanding Business

Student award.

GOTAFE executive manager for services industries, Louise Pearce said, “We are excited to see these newly qualified students enter the local workforce and use their skills to better the community.

“GOTAFE is dedicated to providing regional students with access to unique programs, facilities and pathways to university.”

Team leader for community services at GOTAFE’s Shepparton Campus, Mary Katsoutas said, “When Rylie Kerambrun joined us, he was a shy and unassuming young man. We have watched him grow into

a young man that now wears a professional hat and making great inroads with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people.

“He obtained his first role in community services as a result of his first placement.

He has shown significant growth both in maturity and professionalism.

“We have no doubt that Rylie will continue to shine in any chosen field within community services.”

Problems finally addressed

REPAIRS IMMINENT… As part of the works to fix a drainage problem outside Shepparton Access on Wyndham Street, a footpath at 219-225 Wyndham Street, that poses a trip hazard, will also be repaired. Photo: David Lee.

Council and VicRoads collaborating to repair issues continued from front page WENDY Shanks said, “From what I was told by VicRoads and council, the drainage lip wasn’t built to regulation and is part of the problem it retains water when it rains.

“We used to have four to five inches of water build up, and even though they are fixing it, we’ll still have a build up of water, but it won’t be as much.

“It’s a relief to have the issue finally addressed and plans in place to fix it.”

A VicRoads spokesperson said, “A site meeting between VicRoads and Greater Shepparton City Council was conducted to address localised flooding for the allability parking outside Shepparton Access.

“To address the issues, council and VicRoads will modif y the footpath height (at the all-ability parking space) to be consistent with Access and Mobility

Design standards and to keep the water in the gutter and stop flooding the footpath.

“The damaged roadside drain 20m to the north will also be replaced to allow smoother flow of rain water.

“The above improvements will enable a safer access for the visitors of the Shepparton Access during wet days. To minimise the impact on the activities of Shepparton Access of the proposed work, the work is planned for Tuesday, April 18 (weather permitting) during their shutdown period.”

MOVING FORWARD… The results are in for a consultation process undertaken to determine the community’s views on what to do with Shepparton’s Maude Street Mall. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Mall open to traffic possible continued from front page OF the responses provided to council, 51 percent supported the introduction of activities similar to those presented by Spiire in December last year, 48 percent of respondents did not support their introduction and the remaining 1 percent of participants did not answer the question.

Some respondents to the consultation process provided alternative changes to the mall to improve its amenity and usability. A total of 55.87 percent suggested opening the mall to traffic and making improvements to parking.

As part of the motion carried, Greater Shepparton City Council will consider the allocation of $250,000 in its 2017/2018 budget to obtain conceptual designs, estimates and funding models of the three options for the Maude Street Mall as a long term vision to activate and revitalise the area as per the Commercial Activity Centre Strategy. The options include the reintroduction of two-way traffic from Fryers to High Street, the development of additional car parking facilities with connecting one-way access from High and/or Fryers Streets exiting at Stewart Street and the retention of the mall as a pedestrianised public open space and

Page 30 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1347 Wednesday, March 29, 2017

introduction of urban design measures to increase amenity and usability of the precinct.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said, “As part of the motion, council has decided to dedicate $500,000 over two years to activate the mall, which will include short term measures like things in the Spiire plan.

“While that’s happening, we are hoping to also provide an extra $250,000 to come up with conceptual designs for the three options.

“This has been a controversial issue for the better part of 10 years now. You could continue on with consultations and surveys, but if you wait to know everything, you’ll never do anything.

“This recent survey shows just how balanced the views are out there, but we have to work towards doing something.

“The option of opening the mall is definitely in the motion.

“If the mall is to be opened in two to three years’ time, then we will have made steps towards that.

“Hopefully, activating it over two years might change some views, as they might see that these activation measures are working and the mall won’t be opened.

“Discussion to a degree is finished and we are acting now.”

Member for Euroa and Deputy Leader of The Nationals, Steph Ryan said the latest figures from the Crime Statistics Agency showed the alarming rise in crime under the Andrews Labor Government showed no signs of letting up.

“Crime is spiralling out control,” Ms Ryan said.

“While we see a lot about crime in the streets of Melbourne on the news, the scary reality is that crime rates in regional Victoria are also on the rise.

“The justice system in Victoria is in crisis because Labor has weakened bail laws, weakened sentencing, and cut frontline police numbers.

Bringing city style to Shepparton THE evening before school photographs I hurriedly took my four scruffy haired little boys to have their hair cut. I dropped into the local hairdressers who luckily fit them in and I was delighted to see the cost of each cut was just $10!

So, for $10, you’d perhaps expect the hairdresser to rush through a standard little boys cut but that’s not what happened. His & Hairs business owner and hairdresser, Dhiya Shawaf is meticulous when it comes to haircuts for FROM SYDNEY TO SHEPPARTON… His & Hairs business men and boys. owner and hairdresser, Dhiya Shawaf offers professional cuts Dhiya said, “I like to take care of my at a very low price.

Shepparton Runners Club April handicap THE Shepparton Runners Club (SRC) will be hosting the last of its 5km handicap series on Saturday, April 1 at Victoria Park Lake, Shepparton from 8am, which will be in conjunction with Shepparton Parkrun.

SRC president, Nadine Edwards said, “As a handicapped race, everyone is given an opportunity to win. Being a ‘sealed’ start, everyone receives a handicap time, which is added to the finish time, so you don’t have to be the fastest to win. The handicap is also a good way for new runners to come and make new connections. The SRC encourages all levels of runners to come along.

“There will be prizes, which are sponsored by Shepparton Sportsman’s Warehouse.

“Entry is free for members and non members and all are welcome!”

Participants are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for their handicap to be set prior to the race beginning. First time participants are asked to estimate their time for 5km before the race.

Participants are encouraged to register via their Facebook page or emailing sheppartonrunnersclub@gmail.com prior to Friday night, but entries will be accepted on the day.

The next handicap will be Sunday, May 7 at the SRC rooms at Princess Park Shepparton from 8am and will be an 8km distance.

FAMILY ACHIEVEMENT… From left, Chris Nicholson, Cadel Nicholson, Steve Trevaskis (back) and Chelsea Nicholson. Photo: Kaitlyn Scoble.

IT was just another Saturday for the Nicholson family who have been bitten by the Parkrun bug. Chris, Chelsea and Cadel were all celebrating a milestone of a combined 250 parkruns. Father and son duo, Chris and Cadel both completed 100, while mother, Chelsea having done 50. Chris and Cadel attended their first Parkrun in January 2015. Cadel, then aged 6, expressed a desire to have a run. He had caught the running bug 3 months prior at a 5km Fun Run at Tatura, an event where his parents expected him to run/walk but instead he ran the entire way. He has now run with his father, Chris, 100 times as part of Parkrun. An amazing achievement for a 9 year old.

Chris said, “Of all the running events that I have attended, Parkrun is unique in the way it caters for all types, from the fastest runners to those that would rather a leisurely walk. However it is the welcoming atmosphere that keeps the family coming back.”

Chelsea said, “There is a real sense of community at Parkrun and camaraderie, with everyone encouraging each other regardless of their ability.”

Cadel loves the challenge of running 5km and trying to improve his Personal Best time, he also enjoys the friendly rivalry and banter he has each week with other participants. An example of this is the fierce but friendly rivalry he has developed with fellow runner Steven Trevaskis. Although separated in age by decades the two of them compete with each other to cross the line first every weekend.

Chris also noted that there has been a really large increase in the number of families that now attend.

“When we first started there wasn’t many other younger kids running, with some weeks Cadel being the only person under 10, but now there are upwards of over a dozen regular juniors running with their families, as well as parents running with prams,” Chris said.

Parkrun is a free, timed, 5km weekly event at Victoria Park Lake, Shepparton starting at 8am and caters for all speeds.

Parkrun is open to everyone and is safe and easy to take part in. Register at parkrun.com.au/register
