Plenty of fish thanks to new site By Deanne Jeffers THE first native fish produced at Arcadia’s brand-new fish hatchery were released into the Goulburn River last week.

Shepparton university to expand $10.5M redevelopment in the pipeline
PLANS for a $10.5M redevelopment of the La Trobe Shepparton campus were unveiled yesterday, including high-tech clinical teaching spaces, modern study areas, and a flexible space for community events. With construction to commence late
2022, the project should improve the study experience for hundreds of local students, while enabling more students in critical study areas, such as nursing. “Our Shepparton campus already produces around 100 graduates a year in
areas such as nursing, education, business, arts and social work – the majority of whom go on to work in the local region,” La Trobe vice-chancellor Professor John Dewar AO said. Continued Page 4

Another affordable housing proposal
CONSULTATION NOW OPEN... Vacant land in the Parkside Gardens housing estate has been identified as a suitable location to develop affordable housing for at-risk women and children. Photo: Supplied.
DESPITE much debate, the Greater Shepparton City Council is committed to providing the crucial affordable housing required to meet growing homelessness amidst diminishing rental affordability. Council is seeking input from residents and businesses following a proposal to sell part of the land at 45 Parkside Drive, Shepparton, to facilitate a residential development for use as affordable housing for at-risk women and children. On 21 December 2021, Council received a request from Women’s Housing Limited to provide in-principal support to purchase part of 45 Parkside Drive for approximately 45 dwellings with two or three bedrooms. Women’s Housing Ltd is a Registered Housing Association with a long history of supporting vulnerable women and children across Victoria through a
range of innovative housing and support services. The address is a vacant lot within the Parkside Gardens residential estate, which is a general residential zone identified as suitable for residential development. Upon completion, Women’s Housing Ltd would maintain ownership and manage the site. Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said the project aimed to address Greater Shepparton’s demand for affordable housing. “If Council resolves to sell the land and it is developed for these purposes, the development would provide excellent amenities for vulnerable women and children enabling them to access secure and high-quality housing,” she said. “Women’s Housing Limited has extensive experience working in Regional Victoria and is keen to address
the affordable housing needs of the Greater Shepparton community.” “However, before Council can consider such a proposal, consultation with the community must occur in order to understand how the community feels about the sale of land. We look forward to hearing feedback from the community about this proposal.” Feedback is open from Monday, February 21 until Monday, March 28, 2022.

Free parking to end
COUNCIL’S period of complimentary parking in the Shepparton CBD will expire on Februray 28, with paid on-street parking beginning again on March 1, 2022.
From March 1, paid parking in on-street car parks will resume, and infringements will be issued for failure to pay. At last Tuesday’s Greater Shepparton City Council
meeting, it was determined a report on complimentary parking will be put forward in May so any further free parking periods can be included in the Council budget.

HE said that this project will help the university to enrol more nursing students, provide more collaborative spaces, while connecting hundreds if local students studying online to La Trobe’s high-tech research and teaching facilities. “It would be great to extend, great for our local area and to increase student learning,” said Jaimie Woodgaurd, second-year Bachelor of Nursing student at La Trobe University. “Study small and you get a lot more one-onone time with your teacher.” This announcement means that more local people like Jaimie can benefit from country campus learning and big school support. “We’d love to see more research partners and members of the community gathering

Restrictions relaxed
FROM Friday evening, Victorians have enjoyed the further easing of restrictions, with density caps and check-in requirements relaxed. Under the orders, density quotients of one person per two square meters in place at hospitality and entertainment venues are removed and indoor dancefloors at these venues can re-open. QR code check-in requirements are no longer in place at retail venues, schools (including childcare and early childhood) and for employees at many workplaces but remain in place in all 'vaccinated economy' settings, such as hospitality and entertainment venues. Currently, key industries including meat processing, obey mandatory testing requirements. These mandates will be become recommended-only, reflecting declining

community transmission. Requirements for hospital worker 'bubbles' will also be removed, but health services may still implement them at their discretion. "Changes to QR code requirements will still support our focus on the highestrisk settings most likely to generate superspreader events – and we will keep reviewing the system over time in line with the epidemiological situation," said Victorian Minister for Health Martin Foley. As community transmission of COVID-19 continues to reduce throughout Victoria and vaccination coverage increases, the Minister will consider further changes to office-based settings this week. Updated details on current restrictions are published online at www.coronavirus.vic.gov. au

Parking in short supply By Deanne Jeffers THE social housing development proposed for the airspace around the Nixon and Maude Street carparks will affect more than neighbouring students at Shepparton ACE Secondary College and homeowners. “I understand a lot of people have different objections to the proposed social housing development at the Nixon and Maude Street carparks. The biggest reason being that the development is next to a school,” said Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, John Anderson. “The Chamber’s position is that we cannot have any removal of carparks from the Shepparton CBD.” Mr Anderson stressed that parking is in short supply in the Central Businss District (CBD). While the ground floor of
the proposed social housing would be returned to the Council to use as public car parking, Mr Anderson says that after amenities like lifts, fire exits, and water, waste and electricity are factored into the design, the number of parks available would be considerably reduced. “We will lose several parks after the building is complete. That particular car park is free for three hours, making it a really valuable space for people shopping in Shepparton, giving them some extra time to access the Mall or run errands.” The Nixon and Maude Street carparks offer convenient parking to surrounding retail businesses, hospitality venues and professional services, their employees and people who use their businesses. “This parking lot is handy to a whole host of businesses that
use the parking space and being only a block away from Fryers Street and the Mall would impact activity throughout the CBD,” said Mr Anderson. Shepparton’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry intend to send a submission to Council regarding the loss of carparks and how this would negatively impact business in Shepparton. 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.

GR EAT ER Shepparton City Council is seeing the culmination of more than five years work come to fruition with the announcement from the Victorian State Government last week that they will bid for a regional cities 2026 Commonwealth Games. “Regional Victoria is ready to welcome the Commonwealth Games”, Regional Cities Victoria Chair and Mayor of Greater Shepparton, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said. “I am absolutely thrilled for our region and for all of Victoria. We have been involved in the development of a regional cities model for a number of years with a pre-feasibility study completed in early 2020. This was contributed to by the State Government and several regional councils
including Shepparton, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo,” said Cr O’Keeffe. “The Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 was a great success. A Victorian Commonwealth Games in 2026, hosted across the state, will be an event to remember, and will show the world what Victoria has to offer.” Regional cities are well placed to support such an event with the potential to create significant economic and social opportunities for local businesses and the community. “This will be the economic boost that our region and many regional areas need after two years of pandemic impact,” said Cr O’Keeffe.

Clause could kill community publishing
REPORTING FOR REGIONS... Independent Member for Shepparton District Suzanna Sheed moved an amendment to a clause she says could be “devastating” to publishing, particularly for regional populations and those that are retired. Photo: Supplied.
A NEW bill has the potential to decimate community publishing, by proposing that all state and local government public notices would no longer be required to be published in print media. Independent Member for Shepparton District Suzanna Sheed called for an amendment to a clause in the Regulatory Legislation Amendment (Reform) Bill 2021, expressing that it would be harmful to regional newspapers and reduce the availability of information to the public. Ms Sheed moved an amendment, which was not passed in the Legislative Assembly, although she commended the Liberals, Nationals and other independents for supporting her amendment. During the debate, Ms Sheed highlighted the impor tance of the com munit y knowing about
government decisions and used local Council’s decision to consider selling the airspace above a city carpark for social housing as an example of something of interest to many in the community. “The impacts of a few paragraphs in this bill can be devastating, and I am here to say that on behalf of regional communities something absolutely must be done about it.” “Where newspapers stop reporting on what happens at their local council meetings, people become disengaged.” “It is often the older, retired people who are really watching for those notices. They are on the ball, they are active community members, and they want to know what is going on, and if they cannot access it in the local newspaper, then how will they?”

Lilah was born with Myelomeningocele, which is the most severe form of Spina Bifida. This birth defect is where the neural tube in the spine fails to close. It causes weakness, loss of feeling, trouble moving, problems with the bladder, too much spinal fluid in the brain and problems with how the brain is formed. Recently, Lilah has told her mother Kirsten Stone-Parr of her dreams to walk like other kids and every year her Christmas wish is to kick a footy or ride a scooter.

Ms Horne was joined by Independent Memb er for S heppa r ton Di st r ic t Suzanna Sheed, Mayor Kim O’Keeffe, and local fishing figures for a tour of the $7M Arcadia hatchery set on 170 acres, which includes 32 ponds, a fish hatchery built out of a converted milking shed, and room to grow. “We’ve taken a fish farm to the next level in terms of design,” said Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) native fish hatchery project director, Anthony Forster. “And because it's in a warmer climate it'll grow fish faster than we would otherwise have.” Mr Forster explained how the ponds are designed to mimic nature, by using bore water to create wetlands and aerators that encourage zoo plankton to bloom for quality fish food. Bu i lt to complement t he V FA’s hatchery near Eildon, the A rcadia hatchery marks “a new era,” in fish farming. The site has been designed so that no person needs to touch the fish, which can damage wildlife and put workers in danger, “chasing fish in puddles,” as Mr Forster puts it. The next major milestone for the Arcadia hatchery will be constructing a $3M visitor centre, that will offer fishing recreation opportunities, picnic areas, and educational experiences to learn more about fishing, Indigenous history, and our waterways.

Have you met Steve Brooks? WHERE are you from, and how did you find your way to Shepparton? I grew up in Cobram but spent a lot of time here in Shepparton growing up. As teenagers my mates and I use to catch the bus here and enjoy a day out in the big smoke. What primary, high school and uni did you go to? I attended primary school at Barooga Public School, completed secondary school in Shepparton at Goulburn Valley Grammar School and studied a business degree at RMIT, followed by a postgraduate Master's Degree in Secondary Teaching at Melbourne University. What do you do here? For 18 years I was a wheat trader selling Australian wheat overseas. However, currently I own and run a pomegranate orchard and I also
teach at Cobram Secondary College. What's the best part of your job? I love helping students achieve their goals and see their potential. Learning should be fun, and I aim to make it as enjoyable as possible by being real and honest with the kids. Schooling should also be about ensuring our kids become good, community-minded people too. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Living so close to the Murray I enjoy going down to the river with mates and camping. I also really enjoy relaxing with a good book, or am content just patting the dog. W hat's you r favou r ite th i ng about Shepparton? Shepparton is such a vibrant regional centre, and the people are good fun, hard working, no-nonsense people. The potential for growth
here is phenomenal, we have both the drive and capacity to do great things. Greater Shepparton is the capital of the ‘food bowl of Australia,’ for a good reason. We produce world-class fruit and vegetables; our agricultural capacity is so vast. What's one thing you would change about Shepparton to improve it? I'd like to see Shepparton on the map for more major events. It was great to hear about the upcoming White Night event coming to town. I'd like to see more concerts, family events and festivals. We have the infrastructure, space and local enthusiasm to make these events succeed. What are three words you would use to describe Shepparton? Growing, great lifestyle, and world-class agriculture.

Aerial survey gets lift off By Deanne Jeffers MURCHISON Cemetery Trust are amongst five Goulburn Valley cemeteries to receive funding from the State Government for upgrades and maintenance works. The 2021-22 Cemetery Grants Program will provide financial support to help cemeteries, many of which are volunteer run, to continue to function as peaceful and welcoming places of remembrance for the whole community. Murchison Cemetery received $2,750 to conduct an aerial survey of the site, giving a clear bird’s eye view of the cemetery grounds online. “Now when someone is searching for a particular grave, they
are able to use the search function to look up a name or year and see exactly where that person is buried and any other details that are available,” said Murchison Cemetery Trust treasurer Sue Brown. “I am really delighted with the grant and delighted with how the system looks online.” This new software will save visitors and cemetery caretakers time in searching for relatives or resting places, while ensuring Murchison Cemetery can maintain modern records and continue to digitise their burial information for efficient retrieval. Explore Murchison Cemetery online by going to their Chronicle page, available at https://map.chronicle.rip/murchison-cemetery

Future of zoned land
AT Tuesday’s Council Meeting, two repor ts on the amou nt of f ut u re undeveloped industrial and residential zoned land were noted and received. The reports highlighted significant demand for industrial and residential zoned land across Greater Shepparton due to the population increase and significant investment across the region in recent years. It estimated that there is only eight to 14 years’ worth of zoned residential land across Greater Shepparton. It did however consider that this is an over-statement, as some of this land may not be available as land supply due to significant land development constraints, fragmentation, planning issues, and existing uses operating on the land and not wishing to develop. The report considers that these factors will have a significant impact on land supply leaving only approximately five years’ worth of zoned land. The report
estimates only a slightly better outcome for industrial land in Greater Shepparton. There is between eight to 15 years’ worth of zoned supply for industrial use. In addition, there is a 14-to-25-year supply of industrial land identified, but not yet zoned, for future use. Residential projects proposed include the Kialla North Growth Corridor, the Kialla West Growth Corridor, the Shepparton Southeast Precinct, and the Tatura Structure Plan, which are expected to house the bulk of the region’s future population growth. Industrial projects include three new industrial growth corridors at Lemnos, Mooroopna and Shepparton North, which along with GV Link, will cater to the bulk of expected industrial demand for land.

Ms Sheed said she had been working with various government departments for months to discern what must happen to make the school crossing safer, but there were hurdles that may require Mr Carroll’s intervention. “The school crossing is on a major highway, where commuters are driving at 110 kph for long distances. They are required to slow down to 80 kph as they approach the 40 kph school crossing zone.” “In 2018 we saw a terrible vehicle collision, where three children travelling in a car were injured and other children crossing the road narrowly escaped injury.” “We do not want to see another incident like this happen – we need a plan to protect the Kialla West Primary School students.” It seems there are limited solutions, due to the school being bounded by channels, a graveyard, and farmland.

Liberal Party’s land supply solution IN response to land shortages, Greater Shepparton City Council chief council executive Peter Harriott asked the Victorian Government for support. In a statement, Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell said, “The Victorian Liberal’s identified this issue over 12 months ago and in May 2021 released a policy to provide a solution for regional communities by fast-tracking planning approvals.” “ To s up p o r t t h i s d e m a n d f o r population shif t into regional communities, urgent action is needed to ensure an adequate supply of land well into the future.” Ms Lovell says that if Victoria’s opposition leader Matthew Guy is elected, he will fast-track 50,000 new lots in rural and regional Victorian cou nc i l s , exclud i ng a re a s i n t he Melbourne urban-growth boundary and the City of Greater Geelong, within the first two years of government. The Liberal Party plans to open 50,000 new lots of land in rural and regional areas across the state, while
also allocating $5M over two years to establish a regional planning flying squad to assist regional council to fasttrack land development schemes. Land in short supply flows on to businesses and other essential services, like GV Health, impacting their ability attract and retain skilled workers in critical job vacancies. “Wit hout open i ng new lots for housing, Greater Sheppar ton will miss out on the benefits of increasing population, additional small business opportunities and better services to meet the growing demand.” Ms Lovell explained, “By making it easier to plan and build new homes, it will free up established properties for individuals and families who are looking to rent.” “By establishing a planning flying squad and reform ing the laws, a Matthew Guy Liberal government will make sure proposals don’t drown in green tape, red tape and bureaucratic speak from government departments.”

Kiwanis is all about the kids
By Deanne Jeffers THERE are many reasons to join a service club. A desire to give back is one incentive, as volunteerism and fundraising have been a backbone for Australian communities for generations. The Kiwanis service clubs’ points of difference are that they are brought together by a desire to build better communities, better legacies, and more opportunities, one child at a time. Kiwanis International was founded in 1915, by a group of likeminded American businessmen. Historically, businesspeople have had immense power to influence progress where they work and live, and to share this wealth with others. In this way, Kiwanis clubs direct their efforts to help children and their families to achieve better outcomes for all. Kiwanis Club of Mooroopna vice president, Tony Nappa became involved with the Club in 2017. Years earlier he was a member of Apex, a service club for young men in Tatura, where Tony had a hardware store. After approaching different groups to find which would be his best ‘fit,’ Tony says he knew the Kiwainis Club of Mooroopna was for him because of the diverse mix of ages and backgrounds, and their casual, jovial nature. “I said, ‘I could fit in here,’ and so I joined the Mooroopna club,” despite living in
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY… Kiwanis Club of Mooroopna president, Tony Nappa believes his service club offers the best of both worlds: great memories and a strong impact helping others. Photo: Katelyn Morse.
Shepparton, Tony said. He also appreciated that group has only two meetings each month. “We’re all busy! We all have lives to live! But if you do not have a social outlet or some way of giving back to the community then you are missing out on life and being a human being.” “That is the crux of why you join Kiwanis or any community group.” The Kiwanis Club of Mooroopna meets each 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at the Royal Mail Hotel back bistro meeting room at 6:30pm for a 7pm start, dinner, and an interesting guest speaker. The group have an exciting local fashion parade in the pipeline, that will benefit families and local traders.

Waterway update With just one week of summer remaining, there has been a pleasing reduction in fish death risk and blackwater events, compared with recent summers. Simon Casanelia from the Goulburn Broken Catchment Authority (GBCMA) said a capacity to deliver environmental water consistently through the system had made the difference. “We haven’t experienced the negative impacts on aquatic fauna along the Lower Broken Creek that we’ve seen during previous hot spells and blackwater events.” Mr Casanelia said a decreased demand on the system for irrigation water meant the GBCMA and its partners could deliver environmental water with greater regularity and precision. “Recent cooler evenings and our capacity to deliver environmental water has helped mitigate the risk by bringing the water temperature down.”

OPINION
Letters to the Editor SHEPP DESERVES BETTER
Dear Editor, WITH so many important and controversial issues to be addressed by Council in the next few months, it was disappointing to read Cr Rob Priestly has chosen to prematurely step aside from Council duties. Given that he is not officially a candidate, in an as yet uncalled Federal Election, I fail to understand why he has taken this action and left important Council business in the hands of others. Without his presence Council is left with eight members, meaning it can be difficult to obtain a majority on any contentious issue. In short Council business has been set to one side whilst Mr Priestly pursues his Federal electoral ambitions, when he could in fact have remained as a serving Councillor until the federal election is called and he officially nominates. The election is potentially four months away. It is particularly concerning that issues such as the proposed social housing project in Nixon Street, (which Mr Priestly opposed), can now go to a vote without a full complement of Councillors to debate it and it stands as a very real possibility of becoming a reality. Like any other citizen Mr Priestly is entitled to run for a Parliamentary position. The point is that he is not yet formally a candidate and the election has not been called, in spite of that, he has walked away from important debates, the outcome of which could affect the longterm future of Shepparton and this decision calls into question both his judgement and his commitment to this community. Yours sincerely, Shelley Sutton

WATER ACTIVITIES HARMING OUR WATERWAYS
Dear Riparians, We, and others, are custodians of the most beautiful inland waterway in Victoria. We live on the riverbank, lake, and weir. We are well placed to make observations regarding the health of the river, lake, and weir and make observations about the behaviour of those involved water activities. The fragile waterways are suffering. Increasing high speed river traffic is causing a massive problem with riverbank erosion and loss of many trees. 10 years ago, several of us commissioned a soil study. “Due to the fragile soil type, a desire to retain the river environs and to prevent further saltation of the Nagambie lakes and river, it is strongly recommended that This section be preserved and restricted at least to its current zoning (5 knots).Defined riverbanks in this region are very steep and eroded.” A scientific research project by Curtin University conducted on the Swan River measured boat wash, nine different hull types were tested across a range of boat speeds and distances from the shoreline. “It is clear that shoreline erosion is very likely as a result of vessel generated waves where a blanket speed limit of 8 or 9 knots or greater is imposed”. “It is also clear that a reduction of vessel speed down to 5 or 6 knots should dramatically reduce the potential for erosion.” Nagambie Waterways review 2021-22 has recommended that new ski areas be provided upstream of Mitchelton Bridge and upstream
of Chinaman’s Bridge and that the 5-knot zone at the S-bends between Teddy Bear Island and Heath Island be increased to 20 knots. There are currently many problems associated with high-speed boating on a narrow and fragile river. These include anti-social and threatening behaviour, safety issues and noise pollution. However, above all, this is an environmental issue. Lost riverbanks can never be replaced. We have a river of great beauty that is being slowly destroyed by high-speed boating and jet ski activities. We must slow things down before it is too late. One solution is to consider removing towed activities, wakeboarding, water skiing and jet skiing downstream, (i.e. north of Kirwans Bridge) to where the river widens and into Goulburn Weir Lake. This is currently an unrestricted speed zone. These activities would not be allowed on Lake Nagambie. Vessels transiting from Lake Nagambie to the Weir would be expected to respect current speed restrictions. The River between Chinaman’s Bridge and the ski zone would be limited to 5 knots. The riverbank in this section is particularly vulnerable to erosion. The river between Teddy Bear Island and Heath Island was identified as an area of concern two years ago, and it is currently a 5-knot zone and should remain so. Thus, the riverbank and Lake Nagambie would be protected, and the river and lake made safer and accessible from all boating activities, e.g. fishing, rowing, swimming, kayaking and gentle river cruising. Water skiing, wakeboarding and jet skiing activity would be limited to: 1: Recurrent ski zone
2: North of Kirwans bridge and the Goulburn Weir Lake. Jet ski activity to be prohibited on the river and prohibited on Lake Nagambie. The above suggestions have been produced by the collective wisdom of local Nagambians who express great concern about these matters. These recommendations are made with a view to: 1: The environment and the long-term health of the river 2. The safety and wellbeing of those on the water who are not involved in high-speed boating activities 3. The policing of aberrant behaviour would be made easier limiting high speed to two specific areas. If implemented these changes would be embraced by Nagambie residents, fishers, rowers, swimmers, kayakers, sailors, and all of those who appreciate the great beauty of this stretch of the Goulburn River. It is important that Goulburn Murray Water and the Catchment Management Authority be involved in any further engagement of the Strathbogie Council. I welcome further discussion, comments, and feedback. Yours Sincerely, Robert Thomas Nagambie

By Kelly Lucas ISABEL Pearce Kindergarten has been kindly gifted a brand-new sign upgrade from appreciative parent, Vanessa Lloyd-Singh. Vanessa’s daughter attends three-year-old kinder at the centre and suffers from separation anxiety and Vanessa has spoken about how supportive the staff have been towards her daughter's special needs. Vanessa wanted to show her appreciation to the kindergarten, so she took it upon herself to
THE existing brick toilet block and the former Word and Mouth building in the south west corner of Queens Gardens will be removed by Greater Shepparton City Council as part of the Master Plan development. The Master Plan was developed in 2010 after consultation with a number of user groups and was updated in 2015 to correlate with the next phase of works. The removal of the buildings will allow for extension of the pathway and pergola connecting Wyndham Street to Welsford Street along the southern
boundary. According to local Paul Watson, the building was once used as a site for maternal health checks. “Works have occurred over the years at the Queens Gardens with the guidance of the master plan. These works will enable the space to be more open and user friendly. We ask residents to please be mindful of the works and take care during the demolition," said Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Gary Randhawa. Works will begin in early March and are due to be completed by April this year.
have the sign upgraded through local business, Signs and Lines who kindly then donated it to the centre. “We are very fortunate to have such kind and wonderful parents in our kindergarten. Our service encourages kindness and promotes caring attitudes towards others, which have clearly been shown by theses members of our community,” said Isabel Pearce Kindergarten service leader, Linda Laws.

No action at GV Highway intersection MEMBER for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell says that since the State Government made a budget commitment to upgrade a key intersection on the Goulburn Valley Highway, “not one shovel has struck the ground to commence work.” The State Government committed $10.2M in the 2017-18 State Budget to install a roundabout at the intersection of Goulburn Valley Highway, Wanganui Road and Ford Road, as well as promising to finalise
planning for Stage 1 of the Shepparton bypass. “T he installation of a roundabout was funded nearly five years ago yet the Government hasn’t even commenced work on the project,” Ms Lovell said. Ms Lovell has been a constant advocate for both the bypass and the intersection upgrade, and she has called on the Minister for Roads and Safety Ben Carroll to provide a timeline on when the upgrade will be delivered.
TIMELINE SOUGHT... Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell has been a strong advocate for safety upgrades at an intersection on the Goulburn Valley Highway and for the Shepparton bypass, which have not yet received the green light. Photo: Steve Hutcheson.
“The Minister needs to immediately inform the Greater Shepparton community when he will deliver on the promise to upgrade the intersection.”
Cutting emissions and reducing waste LOCAL community organisations across the Goulburn Valley will share in $1.3M worth of funding to deliver projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,695 tonnes annually, while also reducing energy usage. The organisations who will receive the funding were announced last week by Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP. Organisations can apply for up to $50,000 through the Community Climate Change and Energy Action program to upgrade heating and cooling, install shading, insulation, double glazing, lighting and renewable energy installations like roof-top solar panels and battery storage. Greater Shepparton City Council received a total of $24,000 to conduct energy audits at Toolamba Community Centre, Tatura Community House, Murchison Community Centre, Bangerang Cultural Centre and Tatura Football Club (Ballantyne Centre). Tatura Community House manager Leeane Bullard shared with us her thoughts on being selected to receive a share of the funding.
“Tatura community house are committed to working with Council and other organisations to reduce emissions,” said Leeane. Sustainability officer for Greater Shepparton City Council Marisa O’Halloran spoke of Council’s commitment to reducing emissions. “Council has declared a climate emergency and have adopted a 2030 zero emissions target. We are very keen to understand the energy use within our facilities and work with the community to reduce energy use and costs,” Marisa said. GV Community Energy CEO Geoff Lodge also discussed the benefits of the grant. “There’s opportunities in every building and facility to reduce energy use and carbon footprint. This program will identify this and will demonstrate how they can be reduced in a cost-effective manner.” A further $1.8M in grants is available in the next round of funding which opens this week. For more information and to apply, visit: www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/grants.

SUPPORT FOR LOCALS...

The Shepparton Stroke Support Centre is run by the Stroke Association of Victoria and they are seeking a permanent space. Once a permanent space has been established, it will be a local hub for Stroke Survivors who live in our community, where they can receive support and education on real life needs and services. “Without support, recovery from a stroke can feel really isolating. Connecting with others who “get it” and can share their lived experience is a wonderful way to feel even more supported on your road to recovery, or even post recovery,” said Gillian. The group was only formed in August last year and the tight-knit community already has now grown to 20 members. “Participants really value coming together and engaging in assisted activities such as walking groups, listening to educational guest speakers, peer support groups, golf mornings, monthly lunches and coffee catch-ups,” said Gillian.
In order to keep this invaluable service running, Gillian is seeking a permanent base which she can work from, and where members can meet. The Stroke Association of Victoria relies on philanthropic funding and government grants which makes the task of locating a suitable space challenging. “At the moment, I have to access community venues, thanks to GV Health, TAFE Hospitality Centre, the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre and the Salvation Army, who have been very generous in offering us a space at no charge, but the big picture goal is to find a space where people can meet where they feel comfortable, safe and supported,” said Gillian. “My hope is that an organisation will see this and may be able to work with us so we can continue to offer this much needed service in a viable, comfortable location.” If you are able to help, please contact Gillian McLeod on 0493235670 or email shepparton@ strokeassociation.com.au.

IN Vic toria, ther e is cur r ently no minimum standard for the servicing of gas appliances, particularly gas heaters, stoves and hot water services. Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio has opened a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) for consultation, which will determine the best approach for setting minimum standards for gas appliance servicing from June this year. She said, “ The lack of minimum servicing standards is not acceptable. It increases the risks associated with ineffec tive ser vicing, including the potential carbon monoxide poisoning.” The move to mandate ser vicing standards is the latest measure to improve gas appliance safety in Victoria. New standards effectively ban new open flued gas space heaters by ensuring that they are no longer certified from 1 January 2022, and laws introduced last year require safety checks for gas appliances installed in rental properties. The Government is investing $335M to w ar ds h elpin g lo w in c o m e an d vulnerable households upgrade to new high-efficienc y heating and cooling systems.

Golf is E-Z-GO By Deanne Jeffers THE golf buggy pictured at Shepparton Golf Club has long been regarded as an industry leader in golf cart innovation and that is why today there are more than 110,000 E-Z-GO carts on more than 1,750 courses around the world. It is said that E-Z-GO was created by two brothers who challenged each other to make a better golf cart and to surpass all those on the market in 1954 by meeting the needs of consumers in a way never done before. From those humble beginnings, E-ZGO has grown to be a world leader in
transpor tation and a leading global manufacturer of golf carts, utility vehicles and personal transportation vehicles. The E-Z-GO RXV is the first choice for many golf clubs when investing in fleet carts. With a choice between ELiTE Lithium technology featuring energy-efficient IntelliBrake technology and an automatic parking brake, or the first-of-its-kind EX1 gas engine with closed-loop EFI, the RXV delivers unmatched reliability and efficiency. The exclusive AC Drive, found in the RXV, uses an alternating-current motor and electrical powertrain to deliver unparalleled
hill-climbing power and vehicle performance with unmatched energy efficiency, with industry-leading features like a parking brake that automatically engages whenever the vehicle stops. Innovation of this scale has been top of mind since E-Z-GO golf carts were first conceived and this desire to transform vehicle technology still drives everything they do. That is why whether you’re teeing off at Shepparton Golf Club or another course anywhere in the world, you can bet they zip around on an E-Z-GO cart.

Local teen catches a winner A NGLERS from around the country flocked to Nagambie in pursuit of the GoFish Nagambie Tournament's infamous $80,0 0 0 cod. T his year, hometow n advantage paid off as 18-year-old local, Jono Moore landed his first metre-long cod on the Saturday morning, measuring 105cm and claiming the top spot on the
leader board. As to what he's going to do with the cash. Jono wants to buy a fully kitted out boat to pursue the rest of the big fish out in the local waterways, but mum has other ideas. She's suggested he buy a block of land and eventually build a house on it.
