Funding on the way for vital organisation SHEPPARTON Foodshare have had their calls for a new home answered, with the Federal Government promising $60 0,0 0 0 to the not-for-profit organisation.

Shepparton Foodshare deputy chair, Jim O’Connor, welcomed the funding commitment.

“For the past nine years, Foodshare has operated from accommodation provided based on extreme generosity, however never with a formal tenure agreement,” Mr O’Connor said. Continued Page 4

School says no to social housing Residents rally against proposal

By Deanne Jeffers LESS than nine months since moving to Maude Street, ACE Secondary College say that 100 children and their families stand to be severely impacted by the proposed social housing to be built in the air space above the current car park surrounding the school.

school community, have shared concerns that the development would result in losing school bus access, as well as the student’s sole outdoor area to “permanent shade.”

“There is also the risk to the health and safety of children and staff of objects either falling or being dropped from a balcony into the school playground. A further risk identified is potential damage to school

property and infrastructure if this proposal goes ahead.”

“Furthermore, consider the instant redundancy of extensive solar panels, consequent future power bills and the utter uselessness of a $50,000 digital screen that faces into the carpark, which the Council only approved just last year,” Principal Rose said.

Sewing marathon for a brilliant cause SEWING FOR DRAMARAMA... Eve Girdwood raised funds for Shepparton based group for adults with disabilities, DramaRama, by sewing for 24 hours straight.

Here she is sewing up a storm on her Ardmona property. Photo: Kelly Lucas

Safety comes first for first days of school

Efficient and safe access to our new Greater Shepparton Secondary College is a priority of GSSC and Greater Shepparton City Council. We ask parents and students to familiarise themselves with new traffic and pedestrian arrangements around the new college.

DRAMARAMA is a Shepparton based group for adults with disabilities, run by Helen Janke, that provides members with the chance to showcase their singing, dancing and acting talents.

The group spend countless hours putting together showcases of their work and performing locally when the opportunity arises. In addition to providing a chance for creative output, a community has been cultivated where everyone supports each other and friendship flourishes.

Eve Girdwood, local fashion designer and Shepparton’s answer to Christian Dior, took her mum’s godson Leon to DramaRama meetings throughout 2021 and witnessed firsthand how wonderful the group is.

Leon dons the prestigious title of ‘Head of Wigs’ and Eve was in awe of how much fun and friendship the group affords its members. To commemorate the re-branding of her fashion label, Eve undertook 24 hours of sewing on Friday and raised funds which will go directly to DramaRama.

“When I first decided I was going to change my brand name, I didn’t want to announce it in a boring way because boring things and people aren’t my style. So, I thought of doing 24hrs of

sewing and somewhere in the 24hrs, I’d change the name,” said Eve. “I thought I could also raise money for a cause alongside everything going on and that would give me a pretty good reason to carry on throughout the event.

I was genuinely expecting to not even scrape by $200 and before I launched the fundraiser I was quite nervous that I’d look like a fool for expecting people to donate. However, people have been really, really generous, especially at a time where money is usually tight (Christmas having just gone, the pandemic, etc). It has really touched my heart to see people being so kind.”

The money raised will go towards a set of microphones, an amplifier, costumes and props and Leon is hoping for a new pink, curly wig.

Eve’s new brand name will be Nice Pines, with a focus on a more natural and therefore sustainable approach to what she puts out into the world.

“If I can rest easy knowing that my footprint and the footprint of my consumers isn’t impacting the planet, then I’ll be happy. You can’t put a price on generosity, happiness and the Earth,” said Eve.

Here’s a quick reminder to key information: Travelling by bus

Funding on the way for vital organisation “W I T HOU T appropriate and secure accommodation Foodshare simply would not be able to continue to provide food to the most vulnerable in our community across the Goulburn Valley.

The organisation has been distributing fresh and nutritious food to those in need in the Goulburn Valley since 2012, feeding those who would otherwise go without.

“As it has shown time and time again, Foodshare has played a pivotal role not only here in Shepparton but across the wider region for almost a decade,” said federal member for Nicholls, Damian Drum.

“When Greater Shepparton last year faced its most troublesome period during the COV ID -19 pandemic, Foodshare was at the forefront of the community’s response, coming to the aid of many who had been forced into isolation.

“I have been in discussions with Foodshare for some time about its need for a new home, and today is the culmination of those discussions.”

The pandemic has only reinforced the vital role the service plays in the region, with Foodshare reporting a 70 percent spike in demand, distributing more than 380 tonnes of food across the community.

Deputy prime minister for minister for infrastructure, transport and regional development, Barnaby Joyce, said, “No

one should go hungry, but sometimes that is beyond a person’s control. This service is all about ensuring families and individuals who have fallen on tough times can access the food they need to live.

“Ensuring Foodshare has a facility to operate out of into the future is the least we can do for a service that does so much for so many across this region.”

Grants for the art’s INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District Suzanna Sheed has welcomed the Victorian Government’s funding announcement for two prominent arts organisations, totalling more than $1.4M. K a iel a A r t s re c eive d a C re at ive Enterprise Grant of $1M as well as a $44,000 COVID-19 recovery payment, while the Shepparton Arts Festival was granted $400,000.

Kaiela Arts will receive $250,000 per year for the next four years, and Shepparton Festival’s allocation of funds

was boosted from $75,000 annually to $100,000 for the next four years.

“To have the assurance of funding for several years in advance is welcomed and particularly in the environment that has been extremely challenging over the course of the last two years. We have some of the most spectacular arts initiatives right on our doorstep and every year they are gaining more popularity with our residents and visitors,” said Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed.

Bindii weed to blame

By Deanne Jeffers RESIDENTS across Greater Shepparton are being urged to keep their eye out for Bindii, with rain and warm weather producing widespread influx in the weeds' growth.

Local resident, Barbara Welsh expressed concern about the weeds epidemic growth this season after visiting Shepparton Public Cemetery to mark her parents' birthday, which she does each January. Mrs Welsh is 75-yearold and is worried that the weed's growth has impacted safe access to the parts of the cemetery.

Shepparton Public Cemetery Trust (SPCT) chair, Margaret Strewart, explained that the public cemetery employ four people, including three grounds people and largely relies on volunteerism and government grants to improve the area.

Mrs Welsh said, "We are doing our very best to maintain the grounds and I acknowledge that people get upset if they visit the cemetery and see the area with weeds. We follow a spraying program and digging exercises to eradicate Bindii eyes, yet the weather and ongoing watering which is necessary to keep the new lawn cemetery green has led to immense growth in weeds."

"As a not-for-profit organisation, our funding to afford additional labour and highstrength, commercial-grade weed solution is stretched. We do the best we can, having utilising government grants to build our new mausoleum wall and fencing, but we are open for all the help we can get to make this better."

Mrs Welsh, who uses the cemetery, would

HELP NEEDED… Bindii weeds are taking over the region with many left struggling to keep up with the impact of exacerbated weed growth. Photo: Deanne Jeffers

also like to appeal to any community groups who may organise a working bee to assist in eradicating the weeds from the cemetery.

SPCT's Mrs Stewart, who has been a passionate volunteer with the Lions Club and a member of the SPCT for 12 years said, "If everyone gave just one hour of their time to improving our community, we could achieve so much."

"Bindii are very easily spread once the seeds form. They stick to tyres and shoes and spread through parks, nature strips and lawns. The weed produces a large, hard spiny seed capsule that is capable of penetrating people's skin, animal's paws and fur, and bicycle tyres," said Council's acting director infrastructure, Janelle Bunfield.

Phone Council on 5832 9700 if you notice Bindiis on nature strips; in parks, reserves, or sportsgrounds; along Council-owned roadsides; or shared pathways. Contact local agricultural chemical suppliers or nurseries for more herbicide advice.

At Shepparton Foodshare to announce federal funding of $600,000 with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce.

Funding for Foodshare

Shepparton Foodshare will receive federal funding of $600,000 for a much-needed new “forever home”. I can’t speak highly enough of the work Foodshare does in the community and I’m proud the Federal Government is supporting such a worthwhile organisation. I have been in discussion with Foodshare for some time about its need for a new home, and last week’s funding announcement was the culmination of those discussions. As it has shown time and time again, Foodshare has played a pivotal role not only here in Shepparton, but across the wider region for almost a decade. When Greater Shepparton last year faced its most troublesome period during the COVID-19 pandemic, Foodshare was at the forefront of the community’s response, coming to the aid of many who had been forced into isolation. A huge thanks to Foodshare’s volunteers for all the work they do for the community.

Investing in water

Water Minister Keith Pitt and Minister for Regionalisation Bridget McKenzie visited Nicholls last week for a series of announcements and stakeholder meetings.

More than $66 million will be invested in technology that will provide more accurate information and transparency to help Murray-Darling Basin water managers make timelier and more reliable water management decisions. Additionally, $282,000 in Healthy Rivers funding was announced for three projects right here in Nicholls: at Northwood, Lake Rowan and Bearii. Go to my website to find out more.

Energy efficient grants

I encourage food and beverage manufacturers in Nicholls to apply for grants of up to $25,000 to improve their energy efficiency and adopt new technologies under the latest round of the Federal Government’s Energy Efficient Communities program.

The funding can, for example, be used to upgrade existing equipment, conduct energy audits, or improve energy monitoring and management. Reducing needless energy consumption cuts emissions and is at the heart of the Federal Government’s focus on technology, not taxes, because it boosts competitiveness, creates new jobs and reduces Australia’s environmental footprint. More information, grant guidelines and application forms are available at business.gov.au/EECFB or call 13 28 46.

Applications close February 18 or earlier if funding is exhausted prior.

Ag shows and field days funding

Applications under round two of the Federal Government’s Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program open this Friday, January 28. The funding gives show societies a much-needed cash injection after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Grants of up to $70,000 are available.

Applications close February 17.

School says no to social housing CHILD safety risks have also come into question. Principal Rose fears, “Risks of children being surveyed or possibly filmed in that same yard by tenants through windows or from the balconies shown on the concept plans.”

Principal Rose commented that the proposal was announced and voted on in the week prior to Christmas. She expressed doubts that the consultation process is being taken seriously as surveyors are already working on site.

Some of those against this have formed ‘Residents for a Greater Shepparton’, an action group against the proposal and the Council’s perceived lack of transparency on the issue.

A member of the group, nearby residential owner and businessman Robin Knaggs stated if he knew a four-story structure was going to be built over the carpark in Maude St he would not have considered moving to that location. Other residents are concerned what effects it will have on their privacy and how it will fit in with the surrounding buildings which have a maximum of two floors.

Mr Knaggs said, “I know of at least four businesses that will close or relocate if this proposal goes ahead, it will destroy the school and it will have a negative impact within this part of Shepparton. You just can’t put this building in this location.”

On behalf of R4GS, Mr. Knaggs said, “Our group supports affordable housing, but we cannot accept this proposed development which has the potential to shut down the Ace College and its 100 needy students. It will also harm local businesses, residents and the school during the 12 months build period because of all the noise, dust, traffic

and safety issues associated with a building of this height.

“And once amenities like stairs, lifts, water, waste and electricity, fire exits and more are factored into the design, the number of remaining car spaces on the ground floor will be greatly reduced.”

“The sale of this area, which has 67 existing car spaces, will reduce critically needed safe car parking and limits any future expansion in this area. Carparking is in short supply already, especially for local business staff.”

“The Public Notice Council has published as a requirement for the community consultation process – to sell the land to developers – has no value attached but further information on the council’s website values it at $450,000 which is undervalued by approximately $1.5M or more. We are not selling airspace, but the land and council should pay the developers on a proper commercial basis for what ground floor car parks they receive back once that number is established. Council have not been transparent with residents and taxpayers about the car parking and there is public concern about its safety and how many people will use it if this does go ahead.

This building will have the potential to drive shoppers and business away from the CBD.” Community consultation has been extended until Monday, February 28.

Email submissions to council@shepparton. vic.gov.au, or submit online at shaping. greatershepparton.com.au/ or in writing to Greater Shepparton City Council, Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton, VIC, 3632.

Water theft in focus GOULBURN-Murray Water (GMW) and Lower Murray Water (LMW) are renewing their focus on the prevention, detection and enforcement of water theft.

GMW’s water use compliance and enforcement coordinator, Chris Dalton, reported that GMW has strengthened compliance and enforcement.

This has resulted in 25 successful water theft prosecutions in 2020-2021, while the number of customers who took water without authorisation has halved.

“We have also been educating customers on managing their entitlements and proactively monitoring customer account balances. The detection of even small volumes of water theft has led to a swift compliance and enforcement response,” Mr Dalton said.

“We have increased inspections to detect water theft, including checking customers whose usage exceeded their entitlement in the previous irrigation season.”

This focus would increase in 2022 as GMW and LMW introduced on-the-spot fines for water theft, meaning GMW and LMW can issue fines (penalty infringement notices) without having to go to court, but does also allow them to still prosecute water theft in court if needed.

A fine can be issued to an individual or body corporate who has committed a water infringement offence. Under the Water Act 1989 and Water (Infringements) Regulations 2020, they can be issued for: From July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, the maximum penalty for an individual is $2,181 and $10,904 for a body corporate and if the matter

‘A message needs to be sent’: Tatura man fined for water theft A DAIRY farmer from Tatura has been fined $10,000 over water theft charges.

T h e m at t e r wa s h e a rd i n Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on December 20, 2021, after the 54-year-old man was charged with unauthorised take and use of water.

Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) commenced the prosecution after it found the man had taken and used about 2ML of water without authorisation on April 23, 2020.

While the man’s barrister claimed his client was experiencing financial difficulty and water prices were high, Magistrate Peter Dunn said everyone was doing it tough.

“Not h i ng ma kes h i m more entitled than another water user,” he said. “Another water user further down the channel may not be able to access water if the accused takes without authorisation.

“Rural communities are generally very strongly bonded together. This type of action strikes at the heart of the community.

“A message needs to be sent.”

No conviction was recorded, but the man was issued a $10,000 fine and ordered to pay $1,836.15 in costs.

GMW water use compliance and enforcement coordinator, Chris Dalton, said the corporation takes a zero-tolerance approach to water theft.

“This is a timely reminder that it’s illegal to take and use more water than allowed under your entitlement,” Mr Dalton said.

“Water is an extremely valuable commodity in Victoria – if one user doesn’t follow the rules, it impacts every other user in the system, and even the wider community.

“We have an obligation on behalf of all entitlement holders to ensure unauthorised use is met with enforcement.”

Funding to conserve waterways in communities THE Coalition announced in Shepparton last week additional grants for Nicholls will become available under the $20M MurrayDarling Healthy Rivers Program. This program supports communities to deliver practical, on-ground projects to improve the health of local rivers and wetlands, while supporting local jobs and businesses.

Minister for Resources and Water, Keith Pitt, noted the program was already helping communities across the Basin, with this second round providing a further $280,000 in funding across the electorate.

“Programs like Healthy Rivers give the 2.6 million people living in the Basin practical opportunities to improve their local river and wetland environments, while supporting livelihoods,” said Mr Pitt.

Local member, Damian Drum, said the grants were supporting Nicholls communities to come together to implement these important projects.

“Nature Glenelg Pty. Ltd will work with First Nations and the local community to revitalise Rowan Swamp, focussing on erosion control and invasive weed control. This will provide a critical habitat for migratory bird species and a pocket of critically endangered grasslands.

“Additionally, the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority will work to establish a new population of the vulnerable Southern Pygmy Perch. The project will control invasive willows and re-snag along the upper Goulburn Rivers to provide habitat for the

Minister Pitt said today’s announcement was about putting communities back at the heart of the Basin Plan, with the Healthy Rivers Program forming a key part of the Coalition Government’s Murray–Darling Communities Investment Package.

But shortages in building materials, new regional housing lots and a greedy new tax grab by the Labor Government are threatening to put the brakes on regional Victoria’s potential.

Property experts fear the state governments massive new housing tax will mean first home buyers and families will pay at least $25,000 for new housing lots.

They also say it will stonewall new home builds in towns where it’s most needed, particularly in rural and remote towns where it will make small scale of developments an unviable investment.

The Nationals opposed this new tax, because we want to see our rural and regional towns grow and thrive.

If elected to Government in November, we’ll support families and young Victorians to realise the dream of owning or building their own home.

Our positive plan to release 50,000 new lots onto the market will boost supply in rural communities outside of metropolitan Melbourne and the city of Greater Geelong.

We’ll achieve it by investing in sending skilled planning experts to work with smaller councils to boost their resourcing and speed up the approval process.

We’ll also make the necessary legislative changes to stop applications for new developments getting stranded on the

Minister’s desk.

Population growth has many benefits.

More people means more spending, more jobs, more services, better education and healthcare and more opportunities for country Victorian businesses to grow and thrive.

There’s an opportunity lapping at our doorstep.

The Nationals will continue to work proactively with regional Victorian communities to reach our full potential and build an even better future.

Yours sincerely, Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals Shadow Minister for Regional Victoria

DESPERATE NEED FOR INCREASED PUBLIC HOUSING Dear Editor, SHEPPARTON has historically been particularly adept at embracing “the other” - those among us who have a different wants and needs. Those who have different cultural backgrounds; and those who are ill-equipped to live within our prevailing economic processes for a host of reasons; some of which are not of their making.

And so, we believe it falls upon the wider community to give preference to those who, for no fault of their own, find themselves in need of the “air-space public housing” proposed for central Shepparton.

Publicly aired perceived physical and engineering problems with proposed “air-space” public housing in Shepparton can be professionally handled with

consultation and innovative engineering.

The idea of bringing people back to the centre of the city to live is 21st Century thinking, it puts people central to the services needed living in state of the art, 10-star rated buildings designed to meet future climatic challenges.

The proposed site has many advantages as it is close to services and the city’s CBD (many tenants will not have access to personal travel options); it will assist the invigoration of the CBD and further development of concept w ill li m it u rban sprawl, wh ile being environmentally sustainable.

Our State Government and the Council deserve applause for initiating such an innovative idea; an idea that will see Shepparton as a city actively embracing innovative ideas that tackle both the shortage of public housing and embrace long term planning.

We support the project and encourage Council to advance with neighbourhood consultation and planning, ensuring that no opportunity is lost in achievement of leading edge design and technology utilised in the project.

Yours sincerely, Terry Court John Pettigrew

Melding of media and minds: SAM unveils global show UNITING ARTISTS NEAR AND FAR...

Goulburn Valley artist, William Kelly has exhibited around the world and his latest project marks the first new exhibition to emerge in SAM’s community gallery space since opening late last year.

SHEPPARTON Art Museum (SAM) have unveiled their latest exhibition, COVIDCollaborations: A Shared Step on a Long Journey, an art movement initiated by Goulburn-Valley artist, William Kelly.

28 artists and poets from around the world have collaborated using an artistic template designed by Kelly, with each artwork conveying their deeply personal but also shared experience of the pandemic.

The resulting creations express commonalities and confrontations felt around the globe

– working from home and isolating with our household, progress and pivoting, peace and war, mask wearing and germ eradication.

The show has received critical praise from Nobel Laureate Professor, Peter Doherty, who recognised the importance of research in creative arts practice, and how art can heal our hearts, bodies, and mind.

This exhibition is in partnership with the Shepparton Festival, and a continuation of 2021’s program, which saw the artworks projected on SAM’s façade during the dark

winter.

“There’s something about this collaboration that can truly connect with each and every one of us. The works show a deep connection (near and far) to a point in time of individual struggle, resilience, and personal growth. What a brilliant concept by Bill and effort to engage all these artists from around the world,” said Jamie Lea, creative director of Shepparton Festival.

“William Kelly has captured a snapshot of life across the world at the peak of the pandemic and as we continue to live with COVID, the project COVID-Collaborations highlights how far we have come. The exhibition shines a light on how we have managed to stay connected across borders, language, and beliefs,” said SAM exhibitions curator, Jessica O’Farrell.

COVID-Collaborations: A Shared Step on a Long Journey is being exhibited in SAM’s Hugh D.T. Williamson Community Gallery until March 13, 2022. True to the collaborative spirit of the Community Gallery space, Willam Kelly’s template will be available to visitors to take home and interact with.

By Grace Larson, paediatric intensive care nurse LAST week, ‘Code Brown’ was enacted across all metropolitan and major regional hospitals in Victoria. T his response is only activated after emergencies or natural disasters once the volume of patients admitted to hospital is larger than manageable. This is the first time Code Brown has been called this widely in Victoria.

Around 4,000 healthcare workers are unavailable due to infection or close contact status. This means that not only is there a higher volume of patients being admitted to hospital, but there are fewer staff to treat them.

As a paediatric intensive care nurse, I know healthcare workers train for these situations and are prepared. But the system

has been under strain for so long that everyone is exhausted.

To supp or t re g ion a l a nd r u ra l health systems, nurses will be moved to administration, re-deployed to hospital wards and emergency rooms. Staff will be called from leave to meet the system’s demands. Pressure in hospitals flows on to emergency and General Practice (GP) services. When parents cannot see a GP, they present at emergency or call Triple Zero.

I started PAEDS First Aid with two paediatric intensive care nurses last year because we saw this pressure and how to help. Increasing the number of people with First Aid and CPR knowledge reduces strain on medical services.

Knowing what is and is not normal in sick children, or how to respond to injuries, is most important now. Children won't always

Waterway update The Barmah Forest regulators opened this week which has caused the forest to reflood. It is a necessary move because of the high rainfall totals in the upper catchment on top of an already full Hume Reservoir. NO environmental water is being released for this flood – it is completely rainfall driven. But it will mean that the forest is going to be shallowly reflooded for a couple of weeks.

Wetland plants, turtles, frogs, yabbies and waterbirds will benefit from the renewed flooding but the risk of low-oxygen blackwater is heightened at flood recession. Fish in the returning waters downstream of Barmah Lake are likely to seek higher quality water for a short period of time as a result.

Nurse on Call or Kids Doc on Call are virtual alternatives when someone is unwell but there is no emergency, which takes pressure off other services.

Knowing First Aid can give caregivers confidence in knowing the appropriate support for illnesses and injuries. It covers everything from rashes, asthma, and breaks and sprains, and CPR. We may not be able to help on the front line, but we can do our bit by using services appropriately and learning how to respond in emergencies.

Nominations are open for the 2022 national Stroke Awards. The Awards recognise a wide range of people, including survivors of stroke, family members, carers, volunteers, fundraisers, researchers, and health professionals.

There are seven award categories this year (listed below), including a new accolade, the Stroke Warrior Award.

This award is open to inspirational children who have taken the initiative to raise awareness of stroke, or who are inspirational champions in their own recovery or through supporting a strokeimpacted family member.

Stroke Foundation acting CEO, Mark Karlovic said, “There are so many incredible individuals across the country who have demonstrated courage, tenacity, passion and care to improve lives for people with stroke,” Mr Karlovic said.

He said the new Stroke Warrior Award is an opportunity to celebrate the efforts

of the very youngest in Australia’s stroke community.

“We know there are children and teenagers who make incredible efforts in their own stroke recoveries, and many who play a significant role in the stroke journey of their parents and grandparents. For example, they might have been the one to recognise the signs of stroke and call triple zero (000), or to have arranged their entire school class to write get well letters to a teacher.”

Go to: https://strokefoundation. org.au/ What-we-do/ National-StrokeFou nd at ion-Awa rd s to nom i nate , nominations close Friday, February 11.

said, “Our talented Pental family come from all backgrounds and apply an array of trades and skills to assure our products meet our highest level of quality that have been trusted for generations.”

At Pental, there are a range of key roles and vocations to pursue, ranging f ro m ch e m is tr y a n d fo rm u l ati o n; engineering, robotics and maintenance; manufacturing, blending, and equipment operations; as well as customer service, cost accounting, logistics, and roles in I.T. Pental are an equal oppor tunit y employer, and should you wish to explore opportunities within the company further, they would love to hear from you via customer.care@pental.com.au

Resume do’s and don’ts DON’T FORGET TO INCLUDE UP-TODATE CONTACT INFORMATION An obvious, yet frequently overlooked section on a resume is the contact information. Update contact information on your resume when you move or change your email address or phone number. Employers are not going to waste time trying to track you down, so make sure you always include a current phone number and email address, same goes for your references.

DON’T INCLUDE IRRELEVANT OR DAMAGING INFORMATION Some information simply doesn’t belong on a

resume, but there is still some confusion about how much applicants should let an employer know. Personal family information like marital status or number of children, and jobs that occurred more than 20 years or that lasted only a few months should be left out.

DON’T MAKE VAGUE STATEMENTS Give facts context by backing them up with real examples. For instance, don’t just say, “I have excellent problem-solving skills”. Instead, give examples such as “My excellent problem-solving skills were developed by ... and proved invaluable when...”

DO TAILOR YOUR RESUME FOR EACH JOB APPLICATION The more precisely you address each of the criteria for the particular job, demonstrating how you fit and satisfy the criteria, the greater your chances of making the shortlist. Employers want real life examples of how you demonstrate your skills.

DO PROOFREAD AND SPELL CHECK Each time you make an amendment to your resume, check over it in full. Keep it simple and use one font throughout and dot points where you can.

GOTAFE will welcome hundreds of new students into their Free TAFE courses following the Victorian Government announcement of its commitment to funding Free TAFE courses across the state this year.

In 2022, GOTAFE will offer 38 free TAFE courses covering areas such as accounting and bookkeeping, a range of trade apprenticeships, a range of health and community courses, agriculture, early childhood education, hospitality, and cookery, VET nursing, outdoor leadership and many more.

Free TAFE has been a vital stepping-stone for hundreds of people in regional Victoria.

It has provided the opportunity for eligible students to follow their career goals, change their lives, and enter the workforce without being held back due to their financial circumstances.

Ensuring that students are industryready is at the core of all courses delivered

by GOTAFE, including the Certificate IV in Outdoor Leadership (SIS40619), which is part of the Free TAFE offering.

The course prepares you to work as an outdoor guide, instructor, basic adventure activity programmer, activity facilitator and leader.

GOTAFE Coordinator Outdoor Leadership at, Caleb Stoneman, is excited this course is included in the Free TAFE initiative. “ The outdoor sector is currently experiencing a huge shortage of staff,” he said.

“There is no doubt there will be an increase demand for skilled staff, this is already being felt across many outdoor sectors.”

Due to the fact the outdoor leadership course takes students all over Victoria and requires additional staff members, the course has always had a high fee.

“But now, Free TAFE has made this course accessible to everyone and which will help reduce the shortage of staff across the industry,” Caleb said.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply now!

To find out which Free TAFE course suits you best or for more details, please visit www. gotafe.vic.edu.au or call 1800 555 660.

My extensive experience in the travel industry working with clients to deliver them a product and experience that suits their needs and wants is what led me to recruitment.

I’m a people person and working at Monarch Personnel allows me to continue working with people to achieve the best outcome for their recruitment and employment needs.”

A career tailored to your needs HOW to choose a career or job opportunity that suits you?

If you’re not sure where to begin, you’re not alone. Choosing or changing a career or job can feel overwhelming but following these five steps can help guide you.

1. List your current skills and expertise – Include everything you can think of, even if you don’t think it relates to a career. Make sure you include personality traits such as outgoing, creative, or strong attention to detail.

2. Think about your ideal working environment – Do you want to work in an office, something outdoors, do you like to be around people or prefer to work alone?

3. Think about what you enjoy doing – Do you love cooking, art, teaching, hosting parties, spending time with kids?

4. Put these three things together – For example, you might be someone who is outgoing, would like a workplace where they are active and loves hosting dinner parties.

5. Can you turn these three things into a career or job? The person described above might want to consider a career in hospitality.

WDEA Works is your local Disability Employment Services (DES) provider, these are just some of the steps our employment consultants take to help people with a disability find meaningful and ongoing employment opportunities.

events, except for chemical spills, which the hazmat response unit is purpose-built for.

This vehicle includes a lift to transport toxic materials, such as pesticides or herbicides.

There are only five hazmat response units in the state, and Shepparton’s travels the furthest distance than any of the other trucks on-site.

Most of the fleet are Scania trucks featuring a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 6L turbo intercool diesel engine. The hazmat response unit is a Mercedes.

Looking at the rear of the truck, the controls marked in blue control delivery of water. Unlike tankers, FRV’s fleet cannot store and require a hydrant to access water. Each number corresponds to a pipe under the truck

where a hose is attached.

Each truck is kitted out with numerous canvas and reinforced rubber hoses. The reinforced hoses can deliver 6,000L of water a minute, up to three times as much as the canvas hoses, which produce 500L of water a minute.

CFA’s tankers are the only trucks with reliable off-road capability and the ability to drive while dispensing water. These are also fitted with roll cages, a heat shift to cover windows, and external sprinklers to protect against dangerous blazes. These improvements have made incredible differences in the safety of firefighters, particularly in forest and grass fires, which can change suddenly.

Another major motorsport award for Piastri FOL LOW I NG a hugely successf ul year on tracks internationally, Oscar Piastri has been named 2021 Sir Jack Brabham Award winner for the second consecutive year.

The award, which was named in honour of Australia's firstever Formula 1 World Champion, Sir Jack Brabham OBE, is one of Motorsport Australia's highest honours and recognises outstanding achievements and success by an Australian motorsport competitor at an international level.

The 20-year-old, who has family ties to Shepparton, is the first driver to win the accolade in two consecutive years, joining IndyCar driver, William Power, as the only drivers to win the award twice.

Piastri has had a remarkable rise up the international ranks in recent years, where he has won three of the most highly regarded junior categories. During 2021, he claimed the FIA Forumla 2 Championship titles, earning him the exciting role as Alpine’s reserve Formula 1 driver this year.

Following on from his most successful ever campaign in a race car, Piastri was extremely proud to wrap up the year with

the Sir Jack Brabham Award.

“Receiving the award is certainly a nice way to cap off a year where I won the Formula 2 Championship as well as other awards like the FIA Rookie of the Year and Bruce McLaren Trophy.

“While it might not directly compare to the thrill of winning races or the championship title, I’m still very appreciative of these awards because they are linked to my success and are a nice bonus for all my hard work.

“As for my on-track performances, I was amazed that I went back-to-back with Formula Renault and Formula 3, but to win each of top three junior categories was amazing - you really couldn’t have written the script of the past three years any better.

“I have had my time to celebrate but now I am fully focused on a big 2022 and I feel like I am peaking at the right time.”

Piastri was presented the award by former Ferrari driver and Motorsport Australia’s Tim Schenken in front of media at Albert Park.
