Grand opening features one of the best showrooms in regional Victoria THERE’S been a lot of excitement and movement happening out at Goulburn Motor Group. Recently, the Midland Highway site has undergone a $4.5M development and is now home to all the latest Jaguar, Land Rover and Honda vehicles.

The new building is an unbelievable feat in futuristic design, with an emphasis on creating a space that’s very customer-friendly. The showrooms’ open-planned design allows around 20 clients to each have their own little zones. Within the building, the Jaguar and Land Rover showroom can comfortably fit 10 cars, with Honda situated in a separate six-car area.

There are various lounging spaces scattered about the building and a café / bar complete with a brand new coffee machine. There’s even a dedicated section for the Jaguar

Land Rover Lifestyle Shop, featuring accessories, clothing and branded merchandise. Clients are encouraged to relax in the open space and take in the full beauty of the merchandise that’s been meticulously displayed, with staff at the ready to offer a latte or cappuccino as you browse.

A modern, state-of-the-art service centre has also been added to the Midland Highway site, with 16 service bays and nine hoists. At almost double the size of the previous service site, the new centre features updated equipment in a modern and open space, streamlining the service department and returning cars to owners quicker.

Upstairs, overlooking the enormous service centre, the entire Goulburn Motor Group administration team are all together in a modernised office area. Fitted out with all the

latest amenities, the convenience of everything in one place once again affords convenience and streamlines processes.

Marketing Manager, Pike Peters said, “Having everyone altogether under one roof gives a sense of community. It streamlines everything and it makes us feel like we are all working together.”

THE family who owned the house on the land where Shepparton Jaguar Land Rover now sits were keen Jaguar owners and were involved in the Jaguar Register in the Goulburn Valley.

Up to six Jaguars were garaged at the property at any one time – and the cars were used as everyday family cars, including trips to the snow and family camping trips.

It is fitting that the showroom replaced a house where Jaguar cars were such a part of the fabric of family life.

Thousands of jobs and millions of dollars lost

By David Lee FRESH calls for a review into the Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) have been called following the release of concerning statistics on job losses and multi-millions in productivity loss already experienced across the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District (GMID) alone.

As a direct result of the MDBP, the GMID has already experienced the loss of at least 1,000 jobs and a loss of productivity of over $550M per year, with the continuation of the plan and disregard to the socioeconomic impacts leading to unceasing risk to communities and industry.

Local camel farm products being showcased in Sydney KYABRAM camel farmers and owners of The Camel Milk Co are set to showcase their goods at the upcoming Naturally Good Expo.

Running on June 2 and 3 at Sydney’s International Convention Centre, the expo will see visitors discover all that is Naturally Good from more than 360 exhibitors across the beauty, personal care, health, home, living, food and beverage sectors.

Owners of The Camel Milk Co, Megan Williams and husband, Chris first met in 2008 in Alice Springs. Not long after meeting they worked together at Andado station where they often saw camels roaming wild. They were fascinated by the beauty of the camels and would often watch them for hours. It was during this time that Chris and Megan started to dream of starting their own camel milk dairy. A couple of years later they moved to Victoria to a dairy farm with Megan’s parents.

Megan said, “Having been brought up working on a dairy farm, and then falling in love with camels, it seemed like a perfect match for us to start up a camel milk dairy.”

Community support against discrimination LAST Friday, the La Trobe Shepparton Students Association hosted a barbecue lu nch a nd ceremony to celebrate International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

“A u s t r a l i a n s t a t i s t i c s f o r yo u n g LGBTIQA+ people are alarming,” said Georgina, “75 percent of youth experience some form of discrimination, 61 percent experience verbal abuse and 19 percent experience physical bullying. These are just

Winter warning on roads WIN TWO PADDOCK PASSES

WITH winter approaching, visibility in the evenings is reducing, prompting a call for road users to be extra careful while out and about.

Last year between January 1 and May 22 there were two fatalities on Greater Shepparton’s roads, but worryingly this figure has increased with seven fatalities recorded from January 1 to May 22 this year.

Last year Victoria recorded its lowest ever number of road deaths in a calendar year, but 2019 has already shown that there is no room for complacency.

Minister for Roads, Road Safety and Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Jaala Pulford said, “We are deeply concerned about the heartbreaking start to the year on our roads and one of our biggest concerns is the disproportionate number of deaths in regional areas.

“We’re urging all Victorians to look out for each other on the roads, plan ahead, be patient and make safe choices to ensure everyone gets to where they’re going safely.”

TAC chief executive officer, Joe Calafiore said, “Most of the deaths on our roads this year have been a result of a simple mistake, and on a high-speed regional road, mistakes often lead to fatal consequences.

“Our message to motorists is to ease up and make safe decisions when they’re using the roads - avoid fatigue, avoiding drink and drug driving, avoid distractions and slow down.”

Working together to better provide crucial service THE Victoria State Emergency Service (V ICSES) and Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad (SS&RS) have signed a new memorandu m of u nderstanding (MOU), allowing them to continue to provide a crucial service to the Shepparton community.

The new MOU replaces the previous commitment made five years ago.

The agreement will ensure that we can work as one, regarding day-to-day planning

and emergency response, particularly when we see large scale emergencies affecting the Shepparton area.

Shepparton is a point of focus for VICSES, as it faces a high flood risk for a regional centre of its size.

Sheppa r ton has a long h istor y of flooding, which includes events in 1870, 1916, 1974, 1993 and, most recently, in 2010, when 13 houses and 31 buildings were flooded and 620 houses were isolated.

VICSES is the control agency for flood, storm, earthquake, landslide and tsunami with over 5,000 volunteers who help manage response to these emergencies and support communities when preparing for

them.

SS&RS is a Shepparton based volunteer rescue organisation which has been providing rescue services to their local community since 1972.

VICSES chief officer, Tim Wiebusch said, “We’ve long recognised the excellent service Shepparton Search and Rescue provides during emergencies and we are keen to strengthen this relationship into the future.”

SS&RS president, Michael D’Elia said, “The SS&RS is very pleased to be able to continue our strong relationship with VICSES, particularly the VICSES Tatura Unit who we work with on a regular basis.”

Volunteer to give hope WITH the natural disasters that have struck our shores this year and the growing number of Australians overwhelmed by the continual rise in the cost of living, more Australians are turning to The Salvation Army (Salvos) for vital support.

Importance of family celebrated in the community THE vital role that families play in the local community was celebrated last week, with a range of activities held across the region as part of National Families Week.

As part of The Lighthouse Project’s (Lighthouse) dedication to families across the region, it has been and continues to be instrumental in building a movement of volunteers to support our families and kids to success. To date Lighthouse has attracted over 450 generous community and business people who are utilising their skills and connections to create better outcomes for our kids.

THE RIGHT HOME FOR YOU… The team at Metricon can help find the right home design to suit your unique lifestyle. Photo: Supplied.

Make the most of the Aussie backyard WHEN we think of the traditional Aussie backyard, it’s hard not to think of hot summers, a Hills Hoist, barbeques and a friendly game of cricket. What we also think of is space. But since the late 1980s, Australian backyards have been drastically shrinking in size.

The reasons for this shift vary. More people are working longer and have less time to spend in and maintaining their yards, but arguably the main driver of change is the increasing cost of land.

Metricon Homes regional north manager, Tania Tonks, said,

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1457 Wednesday, May 22, 2019

“The modern Australian backyard may have shrunk, but that doesn’t mean it holds less value to home owners.

“When planning your new home, it’s important to also think about what your backyard will need. Consider what space you need for pets or children, as well as room for entertaining. It’s essential to also consider the maintenance needed to keep your backyard in top condition.”

Alarm over regional bullying T ROU BLI NG statistics recently released by the Victorian Education Department shows that students in government schools in country areas are far more likely to be bullied than those in the city.

The statistics show that almost one in five students aged between grade 5 and year 9 at government schools in Shepparton have been bullied.

Deputy Leader of The Nationals, Steph Ryan said, “I am deeply concerned by the results of this report.

Along with the emotional effects, studies have also shown that students targeted by bullying are left behind when it comes to learning outcomes.

“School principals need more support from the government to help them take action against serial bullies, including expulsion of serial bullies who do not improve their behaviour after repeated warnings and who put safety and welfare of other students at risk.”

These statistics arrive on the back of a recent survey conducted by youth service, ReachOut that shows up to 380,000 young people were cyberbullied in Australia last year.

If you think that your child is being bullied, speak to your school straight away. For further information, visit www.parents.au.reachout.com Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1457 Wednesday, May 22, 2019

Urgent calls for MDBP review continued from front page

By David Lee COMPELLED by recent political commentary in relation to the future of the plan, coupled with the available data, council’s delegate of region 2 of the Murray Darling Association, Cr Dennis Patterson echoed Greater Shepparton City Council’s recently voiced concern.

Local groups and council are calling for a review to address a range of concerns including the environmental damage from inter-valley flows on the Goulburn River, the potential for review of the socio-economic impact test,

which could further impact on our region and non-strategic and unlimited water buy backs.

Research commissioned by the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District (GMID) Water Leadership Group in 2016 found that the early stages of implementation of the plan has led to a 20 percent reduction on average water use in the GMID, borne largely by the dairy sector, a resultant loss of $200M per year in the value of farm gate production, a loss of $360M in output value for the dairy processing sector and a loss of $25M in annual farm gate value for the mixed farming sector.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor,

Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “Council is calling for a review of the MDBP based on data now available following the plan having being implemented over the past five years.

“Based on the outcomes to date there is the need and opportunity to review the plan and ensure that decision-making is based on up-todate information,” Mayor O’Keeffe said.

Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Sam Birrell said, “The committee remains steadfast in its position that the critical thing in relation to the MDBP is that no more water is removed from the GMID consumptive pool and that the agreement reached between the

federal water minister and state water ministers at the ministerial council in December to develop a real socio-economic test be adhered to.

“When water leaves a region, so does wealth.

“The value of water isn’t the price of the water itself. It’s not the $4,000 (approximately) to purchase a ML of water, it’s the crop that it grows. The value is also all of the people that are employed during the development process and sale of that crop, and that’s why the removal of water has such a big impact on regional communities.”

SEW UNBELIEVABLE… Local artist Carolyne McRae is a member of sewing group The Glad Rappers. The group have contributed this incredible yarned BMX as part of Shepparton’s ‘Art Bikes’ exhibition displayed in the Maude Street Mall during the BMX Australia National Championships this week. Photos: Ash Beks.

WHAT happens when you mix yarn, barbecues, beanies, and bikes together? You get the wackiest, most creative pieces of art you’ve likely ever seen, that’s what.

Greater Shepparton City Council has wheeled in ‘Art Bikes’ to Maude Street Mall, a temporary art installation to coincide with the BMX Australia National Championships, held here this week.

Council raided the Shepparton Recovery Resource Centre for old BMX and cruiser bikes, encouraging artists and community groups to transform them into absolute works of art. There’s a bat bike, an Aussie barbecue bike, even a bike made entirely of beanies; the exhibition is fun, creative and definitely worth seeing. ‘Art Bike’ contributions were made by local artist Tank, sewing group The Glad Rappers, and students from St Anne’s College.

Local artist Carolyne McRae, along with The Glad Rappers, put together a colourful masterpiece using yarn and a variety of sewing techniques in only five weeks! That may seem like a decent amount

Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1457 Wednesday, May 22, 2019

of time, but when you have a look at the amount of intricate detail that’s been stitched into this piece, it’s actually quite hard to believe.

“The Glad Rappers are located all over the country and have done pieces in Melbourne and Sydney, so it was really nice to be able to do something in my area this time!” McRae said.

Thanks to Greater Shepparton City Council and My Ride Shepparton, residents and visitors will have the chance to win a bike valued at $350 by simply snapping their photo alongside an ‘Art Bike’ and posting it to social media. To be eligible to win, you must tag @BMXAustralia and include the hashtags #VisitShepparton #ArtBikes and #ManyGreatThings.

After a short pitstop in the CBD, the bikes will race to the Shepparton Motor Museum, where they can be viewed as part of the Australian BMX Museum’s temporary exhibition from May 2019 until January 2020.

Kicking goals against violence PL AY E R S th roug hout the Kyabram District League (KDL) will shake hands this weekend as part of their commitment to reduce, raise awareness and prevent family violence in the annual ‘Say No to Violence’ round.

Hosted by the Hume Dhelk Dja Regional Action Group and in partnership with the Kyabram District League and AFL Goulburn Murray, the aim of the round is to raise awareness of family violence across the fifteen participating clubs in the KDL using the motto: ‘You can’t shake hands with a fist.’

A feature match will take place this Saturday, May 25, at the Undera vs Lancaster game at Undera Recreation Reserve. Kicking off with a community luncheon at 12pm, there will be a jumping castle, rides, face painting and half time entertainment from local artist Bricky B. B efore the match, players will be addressed with an inspiring message, followed by a voiceover from the AFL Goulburn Murray’s Domestic Violence Campaign. It will feature footballers from

across the region making a collective, bold and public statement that violence against women is not acceptable and that it is time for men to stand up and speak out.

Hume Dhelk Dja Regional coordinator, Tracy Hardie said, “The partnerships sustained with the KDL and the AFL Goulburn Murray has enhanced the Dhelk Dja Action Group and has shown unity for our Aboriginal communities.

“With over fifteen clubs’ seniors and netball players participating, the ‘Say No to Violence’ round opens the door for a whole community response and most importantly, it creates a foundation for a regional response to reduce, raise awareness and prevent family violence, while working together for a future for all.”

The Action Group, K DL and A FL Goulburn Murray will also introduce an Indigenous round in late July, as well as offer cultural awareness and identifying risks training for league officials, club delegates and coaches, provided by the Hume Dhelk Dja Regional Action Group.
