Dumping issue causing a stink DON’T TURN OUR CITY INTO A DUMP… Parks Victoria ranger, Tracey O’Keeffe is encouraging residents to do the right thing and not dump rubbish around the Local Government Area as it is costing more than $150,000 annually to clean up the mess. Photo: David Lee.
Illegal dumping costing in excess of $150,000 annually By David Lee IT’S no secret that there seems to be a dumping issue around the Greater Shepparton area. In fact, illegal dumping costs the community in excess of $150,000 annually, but whose responsibility is it to clean up the piles of garbage left behind by those who have little or no regard for their actions? There are several problem areas around Greater Shepparton
that have been identified as target zones for dumping, including in drainage in outlying townships, in bushland areas along Watt Road, at Mooroopna’s Gemmill Swamp and in bushland along the Peter Ross-Edwards Causeway, and thanks to the careless acts of a few, it is estimated that financial cost to the community for cleaning up illegally dumped waste across the Local Government Area is in the Continued on page 19L order of $150,000 annually.

A colourful addition adds homely touch By David Lee SHEPPARTON Home on Benalla Road gained a colourful addition recently, when 10 murals painted by local artist, Jane Spencer were erected on the outdoor walls of the complex. P r o p e r t y m a n a g e r , Av e n t u s Management Group approached Jane, providing her with a brief to come up with a bright design that showcased Shepparton, where she came up with the idea of highlighting local flora and fauna. Jane said, “The 10 (2.4m x 1.2m) panels took 210 hours to complete and exhibit mainly birds and fruit with a few Australian animals and flowers too. “I have painted them all larger than life so that they can be seen well from a distance and I’ve amped up the colour for maximum impact and appeal. “To work on such a large scale has been fantastic. It’s the first time I’ve stood on scaffolding to create artwork. “I’m really proud of the panels and excited at the thought of my work being on display in such a prominent area.”

$75M solar Police search for wanted person on assault farm the way of the future for Wunghnu POLICE are still seeking information to help identify a man who allegedly punched another man several times at a pub in Shepparton on Saturday, August 16, 2014. Tw o m e n w e r e h av i n g a conversation in the smoker’s section of the Wyndham Street pub at around midnight when one of the men stood up and allegedly punched the other in the head several times. Police have released CCTV images of a man whom they
believe may be able to assist with their inquiries. He is described as Islander in appearance, in his early 20s, with a medium build, and short dark hair with shaven sides. He was wearing a black jumper and dark cargo pants at the time. Anybody has information in relation to this incident, is urged to contact CrimeStoppers by reporting information confidentially online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au or calling 1800 333 000.
No future firewood collection DUE to an exhausted firewood supply on land available for collection, there are no future firewood collection areas planned for the River Red Gum parks near Shepparton. Domestic firewood on public land is a limited resource that needs to be carefully managed. Further wood removal from this area would have a negative impact on the forest environment. Alternative sources of firewood include commercial suppliers or other public firewood collection areas across Victoria, such as at Rushworth and Violet Town. Victoria’s spring firewood collection season will commence on September 1, 2017. Information about firewood collection, including collection areas and regulations, will be available at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/ firewood
For information on fi rewood concessions and Department of Health and Human Services Non-Mains Energy Concessions, visit www.dhs.vic.gov.au/concessions Parks Victoria regional director–northern Victoria, Daniel McLaughlin said, “It’s no longer sustainable to make firewood available for collection from the River Red Gum parks and reserves near Shepparton. “We encourage people who need firewood to consider other designated collection areas or to purchase firewood from a commercial supplier. “Parks Victoria will continue to patrol parks and reserves and heavy penalties apply to people collecting firewood where it is not permitted. “If you suspect anyone of illegal firewood activities please contact Parks Victoria on 13 19 63.”

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY jobs are expected to be created across the region during the construction of a $75M Numurkah Solar Farm at Wunghnu, following Neoen Australia being awarded the tender for the project. The farm, which is expected to generate 38MW of solar powered electricity for Victoria is expected to be completed in October next year. The project is expected to create about 140 jobs in the region during construction and is due to be completed in October next year and once completed, the facility will have the capacity to generate up to 100MW of power. Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed said the solar farm represented growing confidence in the Goulburn Valley as an attractive location for significant financial investment and an ideal place for renewable energy projects. “It’s pleasing to see private enterprise investing so heavily in the electorate. “Shepparton District has so much to offer and this demonstrates real confidence in the region as an expanding hub of industry. “The Shepparton region enjoys sunshine almost every day of the year so it makes sense to capitalise on this natural resource. “It is an exciting time for renewable energy and a great time for us to be entering the market,” Ms Sheed said.

HELP MAKE US #PROUD Dear Editor, I’m writing on a personal level in regards to the City of Greater Shepparton once again missing out on $3.3M in federal funding needed for the Shepparton Bus Interchange and Maude Street redevelopment projects. A s a former independent candidate for Murray, I campaigned strongly on Shepparton CBD upgrades.
This project is arguably six years overdue and has enormous potential to boost economic activity, lower unemployment and boost the image of Shepparton. Yet again, under a coalition government, we have been overlooked for a third time. I’m told it was a competitive field, but given virtually all the money is going to safe coalition or marginal seats, I question the coalition’s commitment to achieving
outcomes for our region and will be watching very closely when it comes to funding the Shepparton bypass. Let’s all implore our Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum to live up to the expectations of his voters, rather than his party, by fighting to make us all #proud. Yours sincerely, Fern Summer Shepparton

Together they have designed a space specifically addressing the needs of semi retired and retired people. Ken said, “What we have done is created a space that is owned and managed by its inhabitants. We have sourced the latest and most cutting edge technology ensuring all of the homes are energy efficient with space for a caravan. We’ve taken everything into consideration, from electricity points in the garages for electric cars as we move into the future to dump points for motorhomes and caravans.” Freedom Place Kialla is a 39 lot exclusive, safe and secure, gated housing estate for over 50s who want freehold titles. With minimal gardens to maintain and unlimited access to a vibrant community centre along with a two lane bowling green and an in-ground heated pool, this is a place to be enjoyed with

Father’s Day Sunday, 3 September, 2017
Students get a taste of DIY fun Students from Merrigum Primary School got their hands dirty in a special DIY project on Monday, where they had the chance to make a caddy (toolbox, barbeque caddie) for Father’s Day at a Bunnings Warehouse DIY workshop.

SET FOR RELAXING OUTDOORS THIS SEASON… Barbeques Galore proprietor, Jason Bathman, and sales team Mason Irvine and Pam Bathman. Photo: Alicia Niglia.
Just in time for this Father’s Day By Nicholise Garner I really enjoy visiting the guys at Barbeques Galore, they’re friendly and helpful and the place is full of gorgeous outdoor furniture, barbeques, cushions and table accessories. Actually, there’s a great opportunity to get the perfect Father’s Day gift this year at Barbeques Galore. The team are slashing prices and clearing stock to make more space for new lines that have come in. Barbeques Galore proprietor, Jason Bathman said, “We’ve received truckloads full of new season’s furniture. There
are some fantastic new looks and clever designs that have come in and are already on display, however we still need more room. So in the meantime, we’re having a stock clearance sale to make space. The sale will only last while stocks last so if you’re looking at getting something special for dad this Father’s Day, come and see what we’ve got on the floor.” Visit the team at Barbeques Galore 22 Corio Street, Shepparton or call them on 5821 0550.

Dumping issue causing a stink Illegal dumping costing in excess of $150,000 annually By David Lee WHEN it comes to cleaning up the rubbish, council is responsible for areas including local road reserves, some drainage reserves and public open space that is managed by council. Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Works and Waste, Heinz Kausche said, “Council is actively working in partnership with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and Parks Victoria to reduce illegal dumping of rubbish. “There are significant environmental and social costs associated with illegal dumping of waste that impact on the community. The illegal dumping of waste pollutes the environment and significantly diminishes the use, enjoyment and value of our public places for residents and tourists. “The social costs associated with illegal dumping of rubbish are difficult to quantify, however it clearly makes our natural areas and public spaces look dirty and uncared for, unpleasant to be in, and less likely to be used by the public. The Environment Protection Authority refers to the social impacts of illegal dumping including reduced community pride and reduced property values. This in turn can lead to other illegal activities and antisocial behaviour. Fines for littering can be issued under section 45 of the Environment Protection Act 1970. “Council, the EPA and Parks Victoria have officers authorised under the act to investigate and prosecute those that illegally dump waste and litter. “Officers may issue on the spot fines of $317 or commence legal action. “Council budgets in the order of $20,000 for the clean up
DUMP ZONES IDENTIFIED… Many areas around the Shepparton area have been identified as target zones for dumping, including in drainage in outlying townships, in bushland areas along Watt Road, at Mooroopna’s Gemmill Swamp and in bushland along the Peter Ross-Edwards Causeway. Photo: Alicia Niglia.
of illegally dumped rubbish, but the cost to the community is much higher. “Once notified of the incident, council will make every effort to respond within one working day. If the material poses an immediate risk to the community requiring a more immediate response, council will endeavour to respond to make safe within four hours. “Council relies on the community to report incidents of illegal dumping of rubbish. The clean up of illegally dumped rubbish can sometimes be missed if not reported,” Heinz said. Parks Victoria Area Chief Ranger, Andrew McDougall said, “Rubbish dumping is destructive to the environment and visitor enjoyment of Victoria’s beautiful natural areas. “Parks Victoria recently removed 32 cars from parks and reserves that we manage in the Shepparton.
Page 19 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1369 Wednesday, August 30, 2017
“The money that is being spent on removing rubbish, could be far better used for maintaining and improving facilities in our parks and forests. “We encourage the public to continue to report rubbish dumping and other illegal activity, and help protect our public forests, waterways and natural spaces. “As well as the on-the-spot fines, offenders can also be prosecuted in court under Section 45E of the Environment Protection Act 1970, which carries a maximum penalty of $6,342.” Instances of illegal dumping can be reported to Parks Victoria on 1319 63 or via email to info@parks.vic.gov. au, the EPA Pollution Hotline on 1300 372 842 or Greater Shepparton City Council on (03) 5832 9700.

Moving forward with mall concepts The three options for the mall design include the reintroduction of two-way traffic from Fryers to High Street, development of additional car parking facilities with connecting one-way access from High and/or Fryers Streets exiting at Stewart Street or the retention of the mall as a public open space for pedestrians as well as the introduction of urban design measures to increase amenity and usability of the precinct. The Maude Street Mall has been identified for redevelopment within the CBD Strategy 2008, Commercial Activity Centre Strategy 2016 and the Economic Development Tourism and Major Events Strategy 2017-2021. With the tender only being awarded on Tuesday last week, a traffic study and conceptual design for a trial re-opening is expected to be received in December this year and then the detailed design for the trial and conceptual designs for the three long term options expected to be received in April 2018. An outcome will be announced at a later date. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said it was great to finally get the ball rolling on the future of the Maude Street Mall. “This is a step in the right direction towards providing a future CBD space
that will determine how the mall can be developed. “We still have a way to go but to have something concrete to aim towards will keep the momentum going. “Of course, once we have designs and a decision is made on which way to proceed we still need to seek funding to carry out whatever work needs to be done,” Cr Adem said. Spiire director, Michael Lewis said “Spiire understand that revitalisation projects are a collaborative process involving the coordination and collaboration of client, community and disciplines. Spiire Shepparton has teamed with The Space Agency, a strategic consultancy, who create destinations and experiences that positively contribute to the growth and success of cities and places. “We will work together with a talented group of sub-consultants to ensure the revitalisation of the Maude Street Mall is a place where people are drawn to work, play, shop, stroll, recreate and meet. “Our objective in tendering for this project is to see that the design and delivery of the Maude Street Mall is realised and that the design draws upon the areas unique identity to create a vibrant hub of activity for the community with shops, cafés and restaurants within central Shepparton,” Mr Lewis said.

Jacobson sitting in fourth LOCAL prodrive racer, Garry Jacobson has had two podium race finishes and claimed fourth overall at the Sydney SuperSprint for Round 5 of the Super2 Series Championship recently. Jacobson had an impressive start to the Sydney SuperSprint Round, topping the first practice session and following it up claiming pole position. Too much wheel spin at the beginning of the race saw Jacobson fall back into 10th position at the conclusion of the first lap. Jacobson had a great recovery to finish in fifth in a shortened race. Jacobson had an improved start to Saturday’s first race at Sydney Motorsport Park, flying off the line quickly and overtaking other cars on the first corner.
After starting in fifth he was able to progress through the field to finish in third position. The prodrive racer had to start two places lower on the grid in race three following an overnight penalty, and later finished the race where he started in fifth position. Starting fifth in the final race, Jacobson avoided the carnage at the green light which brought out the safety car for the first few laps. Jacobson moved through the field and engaged in a highly televised battle with Paul Dumbrell for fourth and passed De Pasquale for third, where he then finished. Jacobson finished fourth overall for the weekend, and has now moved up to fifth spot in the Super 2 Championship Standings. Jacobson said, “We had really good car
speed this weekend, I just need to work on my starts and give myself a better opportunity for the races. “It was good hard racing this weekend and we moved forward, but I’m looking forward to Sandown now with a bit of supercars responsibility and I’m keen to make the most of it.” Jacobson will now prepare for the Supercars Enduro Cup with Jason Bright and for Round 6 of the Super2 Series, at the Sandown 500 on September 15 to 17.

Murray Dominated by Northern THE Murray Bushrangers have been out run by a dominant running team in the Northern Knights to the tune of 39 points in round 17 of the TAC Cup. I n t he f i n a l hom e g a m e for t h e Bushrangers, the Wangaratta Showgrounds couldn’t assist the Bushranger’s team as they trailed at every break to eventually go down by over six goals. An injury to Tom Boyd in the opening minutes, saw Boyd taken to hospital with concussion and was coupled with late injuries to Laitham Vandermeer
a nd A ng u s H ick s . T hu s re st r ic t i ng rotations, but the outside running speed of Northern did the most damage. The result was not ideal however positives came with Laitham Vandermeer using his pace to stream the ball forward along with Doulton Langlands whose run continues to impress all observers adding two classy goals. Joe Richards kicked a goal and spending quality possessions time in the midfield and up forward. From the wings, Langland’s

and Vandermeer’s running game were brilliant. Defender, Jordon Butts was strong in defence often being manned by two opponents but his ability to read the play and then reset was excellent. Nathan Oakes in his return from long term injury was fierce at the contest; leading by example to a lot of his teammates on the day. Will Donag hey fou nd multiple possessions release from defence and driving the ball forward. While Nick Murray
continues to play his role to the coaches instructions with no nonsense approach to feature highly in the players on the ground in his fifth consecutive game at TAC Cup level after playing a strong physical role in defence. T h is we ekend se e s t he Mu r ray Bushrangers take on Gippsland Power at Victoria Park in Abbotsford (Collingwood’s old home ground) to round out the 2017 season on Sunday, September 3 at 2pm.

THE FINALS ARE COMING… The Elimination Finals are coming up this weekend, meaning we are almost at the finals. Pictured, Ted Lindon (Shepparton Bears) and Ben Clifton (Seymour Lions). Photo: Bailey Opie Photography.
It’s a new season THE clubs have jostled for positions in September all year and now it’s time when the whips start cracking. Once the ball is bounced in the three games this weekend, the stakes are now high and that can turn good players into ordinary ones and not so notable stars into very important players that rise to the occasion. Kyabram has clearly been the best side all year and it’s hard to go past them defeating the Shepparton Bears on Saturday night. Having said that, the Bears have nothing to lose here and have been in great form. They have a great defence, which is the key to winning finals. It’s under lights at Mooroopna, which will produce a big crowd and great atmosphere. At Tatura Park on Saturday afternoon the Seymour Lions, who finished third
Page 27 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1369 Wednesday, August 30, 2017
take on Benalla who finished sixth and haven’t been travelling that well in recent times. It’s a strange finals system but Seymour should win this game and gain a double chance. It’s one of those years that finishing third gives you a good leg up. On Sunday at Benalla, Rochester take on Euroa with the loser out of the finals race this year. The Magpies were second on the ladder only a month ago and now find themselves in an elimination final against last year’s grand finalists. This will be a ripper game and the Maggies will be disappointed to bow out but unfortunately the Tigers are in great form and will live to fight another day. I can smell the freshly cut grass which means it’s that time of year where everyone would love to be out there.
