Food the focus AS the bid for recognition in UNESCO’s creative cities initiative was launched this week, food producers, restaurateurs, academics and the City of Greater Bendigo thought about the opportunities to drive wholesale change in the region’s food sector.

NO PARKING Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
By SHARON KEMP
ANOTHER 57 car parks were waived for a development in Bendigo this week, taking to more than 200 the number of spaces the City of Greater Bendigo has relinquished so far in this council term. The aim is to compel people to ride, walk or take public transport. With further developments destined for the CBD including a Gov Hub accommodating 1000 workers, new law courts and new centres at Bendigo TAFE, parking in Bendigo has become the most divisive issue facing council.

Council waives development rules
The council is reviewing parking controls within its Greater Bendigo Planning Scheme, but in waiving 57 parks for a tavern and function centre in Mackenzie Street this week, it still relies on a precinct plan and strategy that are almost 10 years old. Since then, a transport and land use strategy was introduced that has taken precedence over the Bendigo CBD Parking Precinct Plan 2009 and the Bendigo CBD parking strategy
2008. The former recommends making it easier for developers to ignore parking. “A provision is made for applicants for planning permits to request a reduction or waiver of requirements,” the council strategy states. “This approach needs to be reversed for many uses of developments – applicants for many uses within the city centre should need to demonstrate why they need car

parking on site.” Not all councillors agree with council’s more recent approach to parking. While she voted in favour of the Mackenzie Street development, councillor Julie Hoskin said parking needed to be addressed in the city centre. “I have serious concerns that this is yet another development with no provisions for parking,” she said. “The compound impact of this is

unsustainable and unfair for citizens in the area who are already struggling in this situation. “I think council really does need to do something about that.” Cr James Williams said the waiver of parking is also of concern to the objectors however the location, nature of the business and proximity to the CBD, Rosalind Park, the Capital Theatre and the Art Gallery, all of whom attract many patrons within areas they service are within reasonable walking distance of parking and public transport.

In memory of Daryl McClure FORMER City of Greater Bendigo mayor, the late Daryl McClure OAM, has been acknowledged for his outstanding contribution to the community with the placement of a memorial on a restored heritage fence at the View Street entrance to Rosalind Park. Mr McClure was a tireless champion for and of Bendigo, and also served as member of state parliament for the seat of Bendigo from 1973 to 1982. He also served as a former Bendigo City councillor from 1969-1970 and 1993-1994, and a City of Greater Bendigo councillor from 1996-2004. Mr McClure served as mayor from 1999-2000. He passed away in March 2015 and received a posthumous OAM in 2016. At a public ceremony held on Tuesday to acknowledge Mr McClure’s contribution to the city he loved, City of Greater Bendigo mayor Margaret O’Rourke paid tribute to the man who had worked hard for the heritage values of Bendigo and especially Rosalind Park. “Daryl was involved in the city’s master planning process for Rosalind Park and he always spoke passionately about the important role the park plays in the life of the community,” Cr O’Rourke said. “Council is pleased that we have been able to recognise Daryl’s contribution to the community by undertaking the fence restoration project and through this memorial plaque.” Speaking on behalf of the McClure family, Trent McClure said his father had achieved many things for Bendigo that

The restoration of the heritage fence was a $100,000 project that included reconstruction of the section facing View Street, replacement of the sandstone plinth, restoration of steelwork, recasting of some missing and damaged parts and repainting in original heritage colours. Heritage Victoria provided approval for both the fence restoration work and the installation of the memorial plaque.
Council waives development parking From Page 1

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, August 17, 2018
“I guess that is demonstrated during the great exhibitions we have at the art gallery, people are walking up and down View Street, engaging with the shops, engaging with the character, and that is something I think we need to promote as a city,” Cr Williams said. Residents around the nearby Sacred Heart Cathedral appealed the council’s decision to waive 40 spaces for the proposed Aspire inter-
faith project to be built at the base of the cathedral site because traffic was already congested. They failed to convince the VCAT member, who put more weight on the report of council’s expert witness that there was enough parking available when Aspire would used. Council’s lawyer Mimi Marcus argued that a modal change was required around the design of CBDs that didn’t take into account car parking as as priority but focused
instead on scenery and encouraging other ways of getting there. This week, in the wake of the VCAT victory and in justifying the waiver at Mackenzie Street, the council acknowledged that the “matter of car parking and the consideration of car parking waivers is often a contentious issue in the assessment of planning applications”. “In the city centre, there are over 6000 car parking bays...in total car
parking occupies over 20 hectares of space in the city centre alone,” the report said. “That is land that doesn’t have shops and offices on it and is not able to be used productively by the community... much of it is dead space.” In the city, the council has also waived 33 spaces for a hotel development. In the suburbs, the Napier Street redevelopment has seen parking reduced, despite busi-
nesses wanting better provision. At Epsom, the developer planning additions to the shopping centre asked for a 65 car park reduction, which was granted. And a redo of the Mt Edgecombe Hotel in Quarry Hill asked for a seven-space reduction. Residents living around the Bendigo Hospital remember the original proposal for the new building supported 1000 car parks, a number that in reality is half that.

SYDNEYSIDER Murray Mandel taught himself how to play classical guitar in 12 months well enough to start a professional playing career as a change from work as a microbiologist at the Prince of Wales hospital. Mr Mandel can tell you how he did it – hard work, determination, persistence and patience. Performing at the Marketplace for the two more days, he will ask for a donation to Lifeline Australia to hear him play. Printed on signs around him are the numbers that make up his life, which these days are spent travelling around Australia in a van when he is not playing. Mr Mandel has spent more than five years as a guitarist, 34 years as a microbiologist and 36 as a qigong/tai chi master and instructor. You can read the sum to the cent the amount he has raised for Lifeline, more than $51,000, in a year and four months of travelling. He can also tell you he has referred 51 people to Lifeline, people who have listened to him play. But nowhere will you read that Mr Mandel is profoundly deaf. Can he hear what he is playing? Yes, he said, but not what a hearing person would hear. Mr Mandel said he can tell from watching the face of listeners if they are enjoying his music. Visit him at Bendigo Marketplace today or tomorrow to donate.
THE Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre will officially open on October 26, with the general public able to access the new facility from Saturday, October 27. Council’s Lincoln Fitzgerald said it was all hands on deck to get the centre open. “We are on the home stretch now and very excited to be nearing completion,” Mr Fitzgerald said. “The pool hall is looking spectacular with seating now installed and tiling of the pools, pool deck and change rooms now complete. “The colourful indoor splash park tower, expected to be a big hit with children of all ages, has been assembled, with the massive red tipping bucket now standing six metres above the ground. Once tiling is complete, the remaining elements will be installed.” Mr Fitzgerald said the program pool is awaiting the arrival of the pool pod, used to provide lift access to the pool for people with a disability. “Upstairs, the floor coverings have been laid in the gym, program and spin rooms, ready for equipment to be installed. Downstairs, tiling of the entrance foyer is progressing well, vinyl flooring of the wellness suites has been completed and the café is taking shape,” he said. “The next major milestone will be filling the pools and calibrating water chemical levels and getting the temperatures right.” An opening weekend timetable of activities will be advertised in the lead up to the official opening, so residents will be able to fully experience the centre and all it has to offer. For anyone who has purchased a membership, the first payment date will coincide with the centre opening and will occur on Thursday, October 25.

Working at prevention By SHARON KEMP
A HIGH risk time for suicide can be immediately after a patient has left hospital for attempting suicide, according to Bendigo Health’s executive director and clinical director of mental health services, Philip Tune. Dr Tune has welcomed an injection of funds into Bendigo Health’s existing mental health outreach programs, particularly for support in post-suicidal engagement. The Victorian government has extended funding to another six sites, including Bendigo, from Peninsula Health, St Vincent’s
Hospital, Barwon Health in Geelong, Eastern Health in Maroondah and Albury Wodonga Health in Wangaratta where the program is already being delivered. Hospital Outreach Postsuicidal Engagement, or HOPE as the program is known, will increase Bendigo Health’s capacity to support patients once they go home. “The HOPE initiative is going to strengthen our community based services across the region,” Dr Tune said. “We cover Gisborne to Swan Hill and we have a number of the teams spread throughout the region.
“It enables us to recruit additional staff to work in each of those clinics.” Dr Tune said a particular focus of the HOPE program is suicide prevention and the best way to prevent suicide is to treat mental illness and treat it well. “There are particular times and particular situations in which there is an increased risk of suicide and one of those is in the immediate week after discharge from hospital,” Dr Tune. “If we can provide support particularly around that time, we think that is going to strengthen our capacity to prevent suicide.”

Tavern in the town
By SHARON KEMP
THE former All Saints school and master’s quarters in Mackenzie Street will become the next hospitality fixture in Bendigo’s arts precinct after the City of Greater Bendigo gave the green light for development this week. The reuse of a heritage building as a function centre, tavern and beer garden was the highlight of the development for councilllors, outweighing concerns about parking and access. The plan came to council with objections including from nearby residents about the developer’s interest in accessing a basement bar from View Lane. “While I share the concerns of the objectors as to access, safety and parking, the redevelopment and reuse of this historically significant building along with the addition of another quality venue for weddings and small conferences, food and drink, should attract more people to an area of Bendigo that is already (appealing) for its cafe and tourism culture,” councillor James Williams said. Cr Matt Emond said the developers had worked with objectors and created a new basement entrance from Mackenzie Street. Objections included that View Lane wasn’t wide enough to manage the movement of vehicles and people, it was privately owned and there should have been consultation with its owners. The changes to access include
new stairs from the basement bar to the courtyard and restricted use of two doors that open onto the lane. Cr Emond said he was looking forward to a recasting of the heritage stables “that will make a very interesting and appealing courtyard”. All Saints’ school and masters quarters was designed by Frederick Wyatt and constructed in 1877. The buildings are a substantially intact example of Victorian Free Gothic architecture and are significant to Victoria for their aesthetic, technical and architectural features. “It is worth noting that a conservation management plan was placed on site by the Anglican Diocese in 2012,” Cr Emond said. “Some changes are required to the fabric of the building that aren’t necessarily supported by that conservation management plan but if you look at it in context, I find (the reuse) entirely appropriate.” The council officer’s report covering heritage noted the use of the building meant that it would be used, maintained and appreciated. “The original proposal resulted in too drastic a change to the stables at the rear of the site,” the report said. “The plans have subsequently been amended to allow for the general form of the original building to still be understood, while allowing for a functional outdoor area.” BAR WORK: The former All Saints school will be a tavern.

Protection for Nanga Gnulle COMMUNITY opposition to the proposed demolition of the architecturally significant house at the former Nanga Gnulle wedding venue won it more protection this week. More than a year after the first subdivision proposal was submitted that would have demolished the Alistair Knox-designed house on the Strathdale property, the protection overlay has been set at a size that will include the house and a water course over which the building had views. This week’s City of Greater Bendigo council vote to adopt the overlay recom-

mended by an independent panel that made findings on the overlay means the developer will have to resubmit subdivision plans. The house is on two hectares of land which the developers bought from the original owners about four years ago. The Green family built the property from a bare paddock in the 1970s, and ran it as a wedding and conference venue. Family members and some neighbours of the Strathdale property campaigned for its protection after it was sold and when they saw the original sub-

division plans. Councillor Jennifer Alden said the case was an example of never giving up. “When it comes to planning proposals, it is never too late to advocate, and consider the wishes and concerns of the community,” Cr Alden said. “In this instance it was considered by some as a (late) response (by campaigners), but ultimately over a period of time, there have been victories for the community, for urban design and for Bendigo’s heritage achieved with the protection of the Nanga Gnulle building.”
TWO proposed billboards are “too flaming big” for Bendigo and risk Americanising the city, according to City of Greater Bendigo councillor James Williams. Cr Williams was talking about a 10-metre-high, nine-metre-long electronic sign proposed to be built on High Street in Kangaroo Flat, and another large, static sign for Midland Highway, both submitted by advertising firm Total Outdoor Media. The company appealed both proposals to VCAT after the council failed to respond to its application with the statutory timeframe and councillors on Wednesday were required to establish their position for a hearing on November 1.

Cr Andrea Metcalf said the council should not support the sign in Kangaroo Flat because it was detrimental to the character of the suburb. Cr Rod Fyffe noted the signage was bigger by far than anything else that was in Bendigo and the proposal was to build it at a key entrance to Bendigo. “The last thing we want is a sign like that to distract from the interest of the area,” he said. The proposed sign at Goornong was more than 12m long and 7m high. “It is just too flaming big and we don’t want to be in the countryside with signage of this nature,” Cr Williams said. “We don’t want to Americanise the joint and for me it is just entirely inappropriate.”

WORK IN PROGRESS: Ulumbarra during construction.
Union cops fine A FIVE-minute tirade of foul language directed at the project manager of the Ulumbarra Theatre under construction in 2014 has cost union official Alex Tadic a $7500 fine. Mr Tadic’s Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union colleague Nigel Davies will pay $19,000 for refusing to show his entry permit when visiting the site twice in July the same year. Federal Court justice Richard Tracey also ordered the CFMMEU to pay $245,000, claiming the union failed to acknowledge any wrongdoing or try to correct behaviour. The court had found both officials had acted improperly when they visited the construction site which was being converted from a decommissioned jail to
a theatre. Mr Davies had refused to show his entry permit when asked to do so on July 22 and 29, and one of the days held his phone close to the manager’s face taking photos of him. The court found Mr Davies refused requests to leave and police officers were called to site. Mr Tadic was found to have acted aggressively and abusively by launching into a “lengthy and foulmouthed tirade” when he was asked to explain why he was on site on August 1. “Mr Tadic contravened section 500 of the Fair Work Act by acting in a loud, rude, aggressive and abusive manner and by using profane and indecent language towards the authorised representative of the occupier of the site for between three and five minutes,” said the
federal court judgement. In handing down his penalties, justice Tracey said the union had adopted the attitude that it would not comply with any legislative constraints, “placed on its operations, with which it disagrees”. “Such an approach is an anathema in a democratic society,” he said. The action was brought to court by the building industry regulator, Fair Work Building and Construction, which has since become the Australian Building and Construction Commission. ABCC commissioner Stephen McBurney said the judgement also noted the union was prepared to pay the penalties and treat any such expenditure as a cost of pursuing its industrial ends.
INROADS toward punctual services for Bendigo rail commuters have been made with Public Transport Victoria and V/Line reporting a significant increase in the punctuality of services last month. Punctuality jumped by five percentage points between June and July, from 80 per cent to 85 per cent of Bendigo trains arriving within five minutes and 59 seconds of their scheduled time. The result was V/Line’s best performance for Bendigo since April (85.4 per cent) and the second best figure of 2018. Reliability was down slightly month on month, with 95.6 per cent of scheduled Bendigo line services delivered, down from 96.3 per cent in June. Longer distance services to Swan Hill and Echuca fared well, with 91.3 of trains running on time and only one per cent not running at all. PTV CEO Jeroen Weimar said the results on the Bendigo line, as well as performance gains on the Ballarat and Geelong lines, were pleasing. Reliability across the network was at 96.7 per cent, while on-time performance network-wide improved by 2.8 percentage points to 85.9 per cent in July. “Together the Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo lines make up more than two thirds of all V/Line services so punctuality improvements on these lines give a good reflection of how we are tracking overall,” Mr Weimar said. V/Line has also recently introduced a dedicated unit with the sole focus of improving regional train performance. Led by a performance manager, the team of six identifies and trials improvement ideas across each regional line. “V/Line operational staff and senior leadership have identified more than 100 improvement ideas across the network, both large and small, which the performance managers will look to trial and implement in the coming months,” V/ Line CEO James Pinder said.

Healthy name change “Bendigo Health has adopted a new strategic plan and has decided that while they support the initiative, it’s not their core business,” council’s health and wellbeing director Vicky Mason said. “The City of Greater Bendigo is better placed to lead the initiative given its excellent networks and relationships with community groups, business and residents. “The goal to encourage greater Bendigo residents to eat healthy and
be more active to improve their overall health has not changed.” Greater was behind work to promote consumption of water, not soft drink, at sporting clubs. It relied on partnerships with businesses, notfor-profits and other government departments. The initiative has a target to reduce by five per cent the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults by 2025, measured by a five per cent increase in the amount of
people meeting physical activity guidelines, a five per cent increase in the amount of people meeting healthy eating guidelines and a 10 per cent decrease in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. Ms Mason said Healthy Greater Bendigo will now be funded by three foundation partners in Bendigo Health, Bendigo Community Health and the council along with one-off funding from the Department of Health and Human Services.

to recognise it and celebrate it because as we move forward, the sustainability of our food system will be incredibly important but we have already got 40,000 years of learning about how we live in this landscape,” council’s regional sustainable development manager Trevor Budge said. Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation chair Trent Nelson said food and fibre was an important part of the landscape. “The reason I am here today is about putting ourselves back into the landscape, back into the eyes of the community, to share that 40,000 years of knowledge that has been passed down through
our generations,” Mr Nelson said. “We don’t have all the answers but it is about moving together.” Mayor Margaret O’Rourke said promoting the food sector in Bendigo was the new economy the region was aiming for. “The application looks at everything from primary production and consumption, and it is about us talking to the producers, farmers, wine, bear, cider makers, food manufacturers, restaurants, food lovers and the whole community about this bid,” she said. “It is about putting our food and beverage industries on the map.” – Sharon Kemp

BECOMING a UNESCO city of gastronomy would link Bendigo with cities such as Parma in Italy and Tucson and San Antonio in the United States. As the bid for recognition in UNESCO’s creative cities initiative was launched this week, food producers, restauranteurs, academics and the City of Greater Bendigo thought about the opportunities to drive wholesale change in the region’s food sector. Bridgeward Grove Olives and Art Farm Gate owner Julie Howard said the ambitious project could focus attention on getting conditions right for farmers, such as water and soil health. “And dare I be an idealist, but it is a wonderful opportunity to create a city that is healthy with all the nutritional education that goes with it, and minimising the intake of certain foods, the sugars and all the things that are helping us to be healthy,” Ms Howard said. The council is driving the application and must satisfy criteria to be recognised as a creative city. The first stage will be asking people to contribute ideas, and forming an advisory group. Identifying food culture and history will be a major component of the application, as well as food’s economic role. The experience and knowledge of the Dja Dja Wurrung community will be key to the application. “We have really had a sustainable food system here for thousands of years and we need

BENDIGO Health has relinquished the health initiative entitled Greater to the City of Greater Bendigo which will lead off its new tenure with a name change. Greater will become Healthy Greater Bendigo and continue the focus on community health initiatives including work to combat proportionately high rates of obesity in the region. The council has advertised to employ an executive officer in charge of the scheme.

Torn by the war
ROSS MacDonald says you won’t see too many of his Vietnam War mates join a queue. “If it comes to lining up a for a meal for example they’ll just wait. They have a problem with standing around with their back to the door,” he said. “That’s a left over from the war. They’re still wary.” Along with other veterans Mr MacDonald will be marching on Vietnam Remembrance Day on Saturday at 10.45am down Pall Mall with a memorial service at the Soldiers Memorial forecourt at 11am. And along with the other veterans he will be remembering the time he spent based at Nui Dat when the soldiers were on duty 24/7 and hyper vigilant the whole time. “I knew a lot of men who were casualties or who didn’t come back. An incident of some sort would happen every day,” he said. “I had a mate, a motor mechanic who was blown off his vehicle. There were mines all around us and if you were out there, you never relaxed. “There was some times when there was a bit of relief. If the men were out on a mission they couldn’t drink and neither could the ones at base. “You could drink when everyone was in and the rule was, two cans, per day, perhaps,” he said. Mr MacDonald came from a farming family near Dookie.
VENUE A FINALIST
MEMORIES OF WAR: Ross MacDonald. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
“I wanted to get an apprenticeship, which was pretty hard. “There were a lot of us kids so when I got an apprenticeship with the army at Puckapunyal I thought that was terrific.” Mr MacDonald served in Malaya, Brisbane and then Vietnam. He served for 12 months in Vietnam and when he came home found himself sitting in Sydney airport by himself, dressed in civvies. “That was it. That was the welcome home. Nobody wanted to know about us back then,” he said. “In the early days they wouldn’t even let us into the RSL. Most of the services we have now we built up for ourselves. “Many of the men suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The rates of divorce are high, as is alcoholism. I have to take medication – there’s not many blokes who aren’t on them.”
“There are some blokes we know of who have just packed it in. They live by themselves in the bush.” A fund raiser will be held this Friday at the Star Cinema. Funds will be used to support welfare for families, equipment for the men’s shed as well as social events. “The Odd Angry Shot” will be screening on Vietnam Remembrance Day Eve, Friday, August 17. The bar at the cinema opens at 6pm with the movie commencing at 7pm. Finger food will be provided. Tickets are $16 adults, concession $14, seniors and children $11. Phone 5446 2025 to book. Vietnam Remembrance Day is on Saturday at 10.45am. March down Pall Mall with a memorial service at the Soldiers Memorial forecourt at 11am.
BENDIGO’S Capital Venues and Events unit has been named as one of four finalists for the Australian Performing Arts Centre of the Year awards. Performing Arts Centres Australia’s Drover Award recognises excellence in the field of regional touring, with the Capital Venues and Events named among the nation’s best alongside the Geelong Performing Arts Centre, Queen’s Park Theatre (Geraldton) and the Orange Civic Theatre.

At $50 a ticket that buys a hot meal on September 6, the funds raised if all tickets are sold will provide 2000 meals during the year. Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters is inviting the community to attend the event.
“I know from attending this dinner a few times how important it is to the people involved to keep this community dinner going,” Ms Chesters said. “Loneliness is increasingly an issue for some in our community. “This is more than just a free meal.” Tickets can be purchased online through www.trybooking.com/XCQS or by calling 5443 9055.

PROGRESS on the new Eaglehawk Regional Play Space on the shores of Lake Neangar is progressing well with some exciting and interesting equipment installed on site. A grand opening of the play space is being planned for 11am on Sunday, September 16. The council is building a play space of a type that has never been seen in greater Bendigo before. It is very special and unique to Eaglehawk and it’s expected to attract families from throughout the region and beyond. Shaped like a giant eagle hawk, the new play space will cater to children of all ages. The play space is multi zoned with both passive and active equipment for children with various skill and abilities. It will feature custom designed play equipment inspired by the famous Banjo Patterson poem Mulga Bill’s Bicycle which starts with the line Twas Mulga Bill from Eaglehawk and a butterfly themed junior play area called Where Angels Play to celebrate the life of baby Zayden Veal Whitting. The play space will include equipment for swinging, spinning and sliding with adventure and movement play including a double flying fox, a series of pathways, extensive tree planting, landscaping and picnic and barbecue facilities for the whole family to enjoy.

FESTIVAL TIME
Another hit for festival
BENDIGO Writers Festival director Rosemary Sorensen nominated the highlight of this year’s festival as Ann Cleeves visit to the Boort Library on the eve of the festival. The award–winning author of the Vera and Shetland mystery series, Ms Cleeves was thrilled to discuss her new book with a small and excited audience. “It was the first time she had the opportunity to talk about her book Wild Fire which has just been released and she told me she enjoyed the discussion very much,” Ms Sorensen said. From Boort the festival rolled into Bendigo where Ms Sorensen said the numbers were up this year. “BWF audience numbers across the weekend were approximately 3000 people, with 14,147 attendances to more than 130 events, including the schools program,” she said. Ms Sorensen said stand out participants included the poet and performer Lemn Sissay. “So many people were
telling me how impressed they were with his powerful play, Something Dark,” she said. “And he was able to reach the school audience during the Friday sessions. His ability to reach and move people is extraordinary. “I think this year too, we utilised Ulumbarra Theatre much more effectively, in particular the Strategem Studio. “I’ve been going through photographs taken over the weekend and looking at the audiences, the high standard of participants, our wonderful volunteers and thinking, how good was that!” Bendigo Weekly chief of staff Steve Kendall had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Carr and immediately cleared up the mystery behind the cancellation of his Brisbane Writers Festival participation. The answer to the mystery is that there was no mystery. Bob Carr was simply told his services were no longer required. “I have no idea why they cancelled me, they just did,” Mr Carr said during the interview.
“I think he was bemused more than anything else,” Mr Kendall said. The Weekly’s senior journalist Sharon Kemp interviewed veteran, anti-nuclear campaigner Helen Caldicott who at 80 years of age, isn’t in the mood for conciliatory messages. “If I met Donald Trump I’d tell him about the horrific medical effects of a nuclear blast,” Ms Caldicott said.

That gave me good hands-on experience, which is where I learnt a lot,” she said. “My advice to others is, whatever you put your mind to, you can do it, no matter what your disability or where you come from, just do it.” Through her studies, Elise was accepted into the St John of God Bendigo Hospital graduate program.

A POINT IN HISTORY: Jim Evans calls for a peaceful rebellion.
Time for a red ribbon THE re‐enactment of Bendigo’s Red Ribbon Rebellion of 1853, will take place this month. It all kicks off at 11am on Monday, August 27 starting from the Bendigo Art Gallery forecourt in View Street. The Bendigo Historical Society arrange this re‐enactment annually to celebrate and remember what was a critical turning point in Bendigo’s colourful gold rush history that contributed towards making Bendigo the thriving city that it is today. This peaceful protest was directed against the payment of what the diggers called a tax – a licence fee for the right to search for gold on Crown Land. The diggers had to pay the licence regardless of whether they found gold or not and were treated harshly by police who used the licences to intimidate the miners.
As a result, diggers took to wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their protest and many thousands of them signed a petition to Joseph La Trobe, the then Governor of Victoria, asking that the fee be reduced to 10 shillings a month. The Governor rejected the petition in early August, which led to thousands of diggers deciding to hold a peaceful protest on August 27. The crowd surrounded Camp Hill, and a delegation met with Commissioners Wright and Panton on Camp Hill (in Rosalind Park) to offer them 10 shillings for the September licence. The commissioners rejected the offer, but no licences were collected in September and this marked the end of the licence fee on the goldfields. The Red Ribbon Rebellion is a shining example of
how democracy can work effectively and result in the will of the majority being heard without the need for violence. “In a world where war and violence are so often considered the only way to settle our differences, it is essential that we remember those moments where peaceful negotiations have delivered the desired result,” Bendigo Historical Society president Jim Evans said. Anyone interested in being part of this event is encouraged to join in with other community members and school children who will gather at the Bendigo Art Gallery forecourt in View Street at 11am. A free sausage sizzle will be held at the end of the re‐ enactment event for all participants. For more information, please phone Mr Evans on 5442 6763.

HAVE you ever come across a wooden plaque with Chinese lettering on it in a shed or storage box at home and wondered what it might be? Maybe it was discovered among the belongings of a relative who has since passed away. If so, you may have discovered a Chinese ancestral tablet that was once on display at the Bendigo Joss House Temple. The temple – which will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2021 – is recognised as a nationally significant building which not only still operates as a working temple, but also a tourist attraction that gives fascinating insight into Chinese culture and the story of the thousands of Chinese who were part of Bendigo’s gold rush. One of the rooms in the temple is called the Ancestral Hall and originally housed hundreds of wooden ancestral tablets. However, in the 1940s and 50s when the temple had fallen into disrepair, it is believed many of the tablets were collected by children who took wagers with their friends to go into the building and get one. “Ancestral tablets were made upon the death of an individual and bear the person’s name, where in China they were from, age and give a fascinating insight into the origins of the Chinese that came here during the gold rush years,” Joss House supervisor Darren Wright said. “From a religious perspec-
FOUND: But more are missing. tive, they are used by family to pay respect to those that have gone before and are miniature wooden versions of the footstones on the graves at Chinese burial grounds.” The value of these tablets to the Joss House cannot be overemphasised, as the Chinese attach great importance to their ancestors in order to gain selfunderstanding. “The return of even one or two tablets would be extremely exciting, both from a religious and historical point of view,” Mr Wright said. “If anyone in the community suspects they may have one of these tablets or any objects from the Joss House, we would love to hear from them. We don’t need to know any details of how the family came to have these items and will greet any returns with gratitude and complete anonymity.” Those with artefacts that they think might be linked to the Joss House can call Mr Wright at the temple on Monday, Wednesday or Friday from 11am to 3pm.

Lack of planning THERE have been numerous reports over the past few months of falling property prices and a big drop in auction clearance rates and our own region is not immune to that. There are already blocks of land that have sat on the market for many months and in some cases years. When our region is only growing at around two per cent, or 2000 to 3000 people a year, which includes adults and children, this is surely planning at its worst. Clear examples of planning or lack of it is evident in the costly and ridiculous pursuit of a Marong Industrial Park and the millions wasted on the Hargreaves Mall. Perhaps the recent article by our mayor to allow dogs back into the mall will see a dramatic change of fortune for the traders, I doubt it. It is fair to say that people have a right to submit development applications and it is also the case that large developers have been awarded far more benefits and help than the smaller mum and dad investors. This council, along with the past few, have had no issue in going to court when it suits them and yet have miserably failed to defend others where developers are concerned. The common denominator here is our CEO who is ultimately responsible for overseeing these departments and has resided over one failure after another that have cost ratepayers millions of dollars and who looks set to continue with no accountability. Stuart Symes, Epsom
Rude Shock HOW can Daniel Andrews, or the Member for Bendigo East for that matter, expect Victorians to swallow this latest self indulgent piece of legislation whereby Union affiliation fees are allowed but other political donations are severely restricted? I’m talking about the Electoral Legislation Reform Bill 2018 which passed the Victorian Parliament last week, with the help of a certain minor Party. Under the guise of transparency (cough) around political donations Victorians will now cough up at least $55 million every four years to assist the parties to campaign because their donations will be severely restricted: unsurprisingly, union affiliation fees are exempt.
The Andrews government continues to treat Victorians with contempt. Come November they may get a very rude shock. For all our sakes, I hope so. Helen Leach, Bendigo
Real doubts I READ with disbelief the comments by the manufacturing industry spokesperson, over the rejection by the planning minister of the plan to compulsorily acquire good farming land in Marong West for an industrial park. He claims the manufacturing industry is “hamstrung”. Disappointed at the outcome and complaining they have been hanging on and hanging on for a decision is a sign of poor business acumen. If this park was of such a “high priority” then it seems bad business practice to let the saga drag on for some 16 years without a fallback position ready to go. Investment is most intelligent when it is most businesslike. Know where you are going, don’t let anyone else run or attempt to run your business unless you are certain of the outcome. Poor business strategy and poor business acumen cannot be blamed on the farmer defending his right to family land, nor can blame sit with the state government minister for his decision. Even the Loddon Shire wants to buy into the issue saying it had implications for the prosperity of other municipalities. Good grief! Who was going to fund this enterprise, Bendigo ratepayers? If the project was so good, why didn’t private investors come forward or haven’t other municipalities constructed one? There were so many different employment and land size figures given in various reports it became confusing and hard to work out, what was what. Therefore one has to have real doubts about the strength of the project and for whom it was being designed to benefit. Bill Collier Golden Square

PICK OF THE WEEK: Rams in Bagshot. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN For more photos go to www.newbendigophotos.com buildings, but some subjects have been short-changed especially some of the technology subjects. This great experiment devised by Ron Lake was going to do wonders for students but has been a dismal failure to say the least. A decline in student management in some Bendigo Education Plan schools with no support from regional office has resulted in a huge decline in some BEP schools’ student numbers. Parents have moved students out of some BEP schools because of dangerous behaviour by some students, and the lack of appropriate discipline and consequences for such behaviour. Parents are taking students out of public sector schools and sending them to private schools such as Catholic College and Victory College in droves. Bendigo East MP Jacinta Allan makes the comments that the new BEP was about lifting students outcomes and that all Bendigo students have access to a great education no matter what school they go to. There are now huge differences in student numbers between BEP schools and the perception that some are a better choice than others. The BEP model for year seven to 10 has schools missing out on the opportunity of having positive roll models from years 11 to 12. The Multi Campus Leadership setup has created a serious lack of consistency in some BEP schools
which has led to a decline in student behaviour and staff morale. Teaching staff at public and private schools have the same training, but the biggest difference is poor student management in the public sector schools compared to the private sector. The attitude of the student towards their education should be clearly reinforced at home with parent involvement crucial to the child’s education outcome. Public students can achieve the same outcomes or better than those students in the private sector as long as they have the parental support and a well-performing school environment with strong and wise leadership. It is also the responsibility to see that students show respect and are well mannered by parents; it shouldn’t be the responsibility of teachers as they already have more than enough to contend with. Pubic teachers are continually having staff development days, endless amounts of paperwork, surveys and meetings that have a negative effect on the teachers’ key role and responsibility, which is actually teaching. The leadership of these underperforming schools need to be put under more scrutiny, the same as teaching staff endure, and teachers need more support than they are getting and be allowed to do what they are trained to do. It doesn’t matter how much money is thrown into education, the end result is that you need very
capable leaders that can make the right decisions for the teachers and the students. Limit the amount of computer based work, smart phone distraction devices and bring back the three Rs. Ivan Kitt Bendigo
Stop the graffiti THE historic 1860s railway bridge over McIvor Highway is slowly being consumed by graffiti. The Melbourne to Echuca Railway has both national and state significance and as such the infrastructure along it should be preserved and maintained. The Minister for Transport should be looking after her own backyard before starring on evening TV news extolling Melbourne Metro and the new Skyrail. Being responsible for public transport assets, Ms Allan should be aware that this 19th century bridge should be protected from graffiti attack just as much as Melbourne Metro assets. At the moment this neglected and abused part of historic railway infrastructure does very little to enhance the appearance of Bendigo to rail travellers, residents and visitors. Inaction to remove graffiti sets a standard of acceptability that encourages more of this type of vandalism to railway property. Robert Jones Junortoun.

car parks provided as part of a new development, or in some cases, a complete waiver. There’s a simple one page form to be filled out by proponents, accompanied by some further written information and the payment of a fee of less than $200 to put your case for a concession. The overwhelming majority of applications to alleviate the number of car park spaces provided have been met, and while that in itself is not a bad thing, it does add to the pressure on city planners and developers wanting to shape our city’s future, because as Bendigo’s growing pains can only be expected to increase, so too will the demand for parking. Bendigo has a thirst for growth and for progress, and balancing the challenges posed by population increases and development is a diffi-
cult task at the best of times. On the face of it, it makes no sense to expect the proposed developers of the Mackenzie Street venue whose planning permit application was approved this week to provide dozens of car parks when for most of the time that their venue will be open and well patronised, there will likely be ample car parking available within a short walking distance. It’s only when you add up all the projects that over the journey have been granted relief from the car parking provisions that the looming problem becomes more apparent. Bendigo is on the cusp of a major new wave of development in the heart of the city, with the proposed jobs hub, a new courts complex, the potential redevelopment of the Myer site and at least two boutique hotel complexes all on the drawing board and at various stages in their realisation. As part of this quantum leap, we only hope that a dramatic increase in the number of car parking spaces is included in this once on a generation opportunity for Bendigo.

Editorial Comment
nt
BENDIGO residents have a major and some would say unhealthy reliance upon cars, and for this, we all pay the price. It’s an age old saying about everyone wanting to be able to park out the front of Myer, but the really is only 30 or so cars can do so at any one time. Our fixation with motor cars is costing us plenty, and it shows no signs of abating, despite calls for the contrary. Despite offering a relatively cheap service, most bus services are massively under patronised, and many motorists will tell you that regardless, they simply prefer to drive to wherever it is they need to get to. There are obvious environmental benefits to leaving the car at home and opting to walk to the shops, the library, to work or to the restaurant or cafe of your choice, but the reality is, most of us favour the convenience and comfort of our cars. The City of Greater Bendigo has supported dozens of planning applications in recent years that in turn call for a reduction of the number of

Bike conference puts Bendigo in spotlight
HAVE you heard of one day in five? The idea, conceived in Bendigo, is to walk, bike or take public transport, instead of driving, one day in five. Like many cities around the world, Bendigo is facing increased traffic pressure from a growing population. Given that building more roads has never – anywhere – provided more than temporary respite, the City of Greater Bendigo, like many others around the world, looked to alternatives. The council’s planners calculated in 2015 that we could keep traffic congestion in check without building new roads if enough of us shifted away from the car one day in five – even with a growing population. Incidental activity would also address the obesity crisis threatening to overwhelm our health system. Various organisations are working towards this significant shift. Infrastructure to drive it includes: the McIvor Road underpass, which creates an almost continuous traffic-free path from Spring Gully to Epsom; new traffic and pedestrian lights at Tannery Lane in Strathfieldsaye; retrofitting footpaths; a 40 kilometre per hour speed limit throughout central Bendigo; plans for the Ironbark Gully Trail; and a feasibility study for a traffic-free route through the town centre.

OPEN PLAN: Bike-friendly routes are the way of the future. These are the sorts of physical changes that will make walking and cycling around Bendigo safer, practical and enjoyable. Then there’s the question of culture. Community group Bike Bendigo fosters everyday cycling through advocacy and numerous activities, including regular community rides and the Octoberlong Bike Palooza. The group is going to host the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference, October 29–30, following a October 26 bike tourism conference.
Keynote speakers Melissa and Chris Bruntlett from Modacity in Vancouver, Canada will discuss their Dutch blueprint for building a cycling city. This, they stress, is not simply copying and pasting the Dutch model onto Canadian – or Australian – cities. However, a key factor is to see cycling as transport, rather than sport (in other words, design for everyone, not just the fast and brave). Other presenters – from cities across Australia, Canada and New Zealand – include policymakers and practitioners, con-
sultants and community organisations, researchers and regular citizens. Infrastructure, behaviour change, thermal comfort mapping, e-bikes and driverless cars are among the presentation topics. Conference pricing encourages attendance by community members and change agents as well as well as professionals. Register at www.walkingandcycling. com.au Are we at one in five yet? Probably not even close, but we’re on the way – and ready to learn from cities who are.

The road to medicine
S
AM McCormick, remembers producing a watercolour in kindergarten showing how he imagined his future: it was a doctor’s surgery. “Just as well I didn’t decide on a career as an artist,” the Bendigo-born medical student said. Applying to study medicine with Monash was an easy choice when he discovered that the Extended Rural Cohort Stream allowed him to spend two years in Bendigo. “I’m closer to my family, closer to my friends from high school and, especially with the new hospital, the opportunities
that offered were very enticing,” Sam said. In partnership with Bendigo Health and medical practices around the district, Monash University has been training medical students in Bendigo for more than 25 years. Training in Bendigo gives students unprecedented opportunities for hands-on clinical learning: you’re not just standing watching, you’re a member of the team looking after patients. “You don’t get that kind of exposure down in metropolitan hospitals,” Sam said. “The teaching here has been fantastic; we get on really

The future is hear
I
N the mid-90s Bendigo audiologist Dirk de Moore was at a conference where leading US hearing aid researcher Sergei Kochkin was describing what he saw as the future of hearing aids. “He described a world where hearing aids would be tiny, cosmetically desirable hearing computers that would do much more than help you hear,” Dirk said. “They would connect directly to your phone, be digital headphones for music and TV, automatically zoom in on a speaker in a crowded room and even translate a foreign language into English.” Dirk was sceptical as it sounded like science fiction given that at the time the internet was still in its infancy and the first smart phone was more than a decade away. “But guess what folks, the future is here now,” Dirk said, with a wry smile as he went on to explain some of the latest technology. Modern hearing aids can either be Bluetooth Penny – horticulturalist, hearing aid userdirectly to paired orreceptionist, use DECT technology to link your phone, television or tablet. When your mobile phone rings, you hear it in your aids and answer the call with a simple touch of the hearing aid and talk, hands-free. Your voice is picked up by the hearing aid microphone and transmitted via your phone to the caller. Most manufacturers can connect with Apple technology (iPhones) but only Swiss manufacturer Phonak, can transmit to any mobile with Bluetooth capability. A significant advantage given that more than 80 per cent of people worldwide use generic smart phones instead of iPhones. With the new fully rechargeable hearing aids, you’ll save money, eliminate the danger of a child swallowing a battery and help the environment. Phonak use Lithium Li-ion technology providing 24 hours of uninterrupted hearing. Super directional hearing aids have microphones that can either be automatically or IMPRESSED: Audiologist Dirk de Moore with recent advances in hearing aid technology. manually operated to zoom in on a speaker, even
in a noisy environment. While Phonak’s Roger technology provides state-of-the-art performance, so advanced that it is used by both the US military and the Australian Federal Police in high level surveillance operations. And if that’s not enough, the latest developments in teleaudiology will soon allow an audiologist to remotely adjust your hearing aids, no matter where you are in Australia or even the world.

Knight of value to Chinese
The return of Rory James WETLAND Colin King Accidental Publishing, 2018, $19
By JAMES LERK
IT was not the practice in the past for people generally to go in to bat for the Bendigo Chinese community. Many are aware that it was colonial government policy to attempt to locate the Chinese in a camp and thereby supposedly to offer them some protection. There were a number of Chinese camps on the Bendigo goldfield. The most significant one was known as the Ironbark camp, as it was just south of the Ironbark Creek, the area is also known as Emu Point. George William Knight had been appointed to the post of city valuator, as such, he was responsible to assess all the properties within the Bendigo municipal boundary. Knight got to be out and about a great deal because of his position. Knight was also a very keen horticulturalist and gardener and he noted how diligent the Chinese were in raising superb quality vegetables for themselves and as a business operation. Knight’s visit three kilometres from the Town Hall to the Ironbark Chinese Camp was for the purpose of rating the properties there and he recorded in detail what was in that particular area. In 1876 for example there were a total of 374 Chinese living in the camp. We also learn that there were five European women who were married to Chinese. Many of the women that married Chinese were Irish. There were a further
GROWTH INDUSTRY: The Chinese market garden. 10 European women living in the camp as well. Twenty children were at that stage the result of the marriages mentioned, they living there and clearly they had to go to school, which could be done some considerable distance away. The Church of England School in Irishtown not far distant had closed in 1873. The North Bendigo State School had not as yet been built. The above population of the camp had 66 houses and businesses there. Another 40 very poor huts were within the camp, they being occupied by alluvial miners, fossickers and those who worked for another Chinese that owned puddling machines. These huts were constructed out of a variety of materials, some were built from mud and then roofed over, others were from scrap wood and bark with
scrap flattened tins used for roofing. So poor were these huts that there was no rate imposed on them. Even though the huts were rather primitive they had on average 3.4 occupants, each had sufficient space for them all to sleep and a simple fireplace where cooking could be done. There were in the houses on which rates were being levied a total of 224 occupants, obviously some of these properties were being rented out to their fellow countrymen. Four of the people living in the camp were doctors or herbalists. To take care of their spiritual needs were four joss houses these accompanied with one place of worship conducted by the Church of England and one Wesleyan Chapel. A solitary Chinese missionary was residing at Ironbark.
COLIN King’s second novel, Wetland, again features troubled cop Sergeant Rory James. An increased reward on the 10th anniversary of the killing of a couple under police protection has stirred a hitherto low-lying key witness into action. What unfolds is an expertly-plotted, evenlypaced, crime novel featuring good cops, bad cops, cops you’re not sure about and a young Bendigo couple trying to do the right thing. With information received by the police about as secure as water in a sieve, Sergeant Rory James is on a quest to find the witness before the crims do. Set in Melbourne, Bendigo and Margaret River, Wetland has echoes of the late Peter Temple running through it – occasional grabs of humour or pithy one-liners peppering a fundamentally dark storyline. Rory James has recently split from his wife, suffering from PTSD, seemingly incapable of keeping his bachelor pad clean and tidy, and ended up in a relationship with a bossy alpha-female he’s not sure about. And to add to his woes
he has an overly critical boss, a sniping colleague he’d like to throttle and colleagues he doesn’t trust. King captures modern Bendigo very well; Wetland will delight locals. “El Gordo and like-minded hipster businesses … Bendigo’s scaled-down version of Melbourne lane culture.” The law courts, police station (“an explosive origami of angled glass and aluminium”), the Hotel Shamrock, Boundary Hotel and Tannery Lane all feature. But you don’t need to know Bendigo to enjoy this book. King’s first novel, A Vintage Death, also featuring protagonist Sergeant Rory James, was published in 2013. It has been reissued as a companion to Wetland. King lives in Bendigo. He has worked for the Victorian state government, played guitar in rock bands and hand-built a weekender in western Victoria. Wetland is a well-crafted crime novel with enough twists and turns to intrigue but not confuse the reader. – Simon Wooldridge

Braves eye title decider By JOEL PETERSON
A BENDIGO Braves team that is hungrier for succes than ever heads into this weekend’s South East Australian Basketball League women’s grand final aiming to exact two counts of revenge. Bendigo plays Launceston, the only side to have recorded victory against the Braves this year, on Saturday night at the State Basketball Centre. The Braves can also target redemption after making it all the way to the same match last year before falling to Geelong in a thrilling SEABL decider. Since the loss to Launceston in the first week of finals Bendigo has come out firing, smashing Geelong and Kilsyth in the past fortnight by a combined 54 points. Moody says the main change in the group has been that the loss has made them even hungrier for the ultimate success. “We know we’ve beaten Launceston this season, they’ve beaten us. This is the deciding game in more than one way,” coach Megan Moody said. “We know exactly what they’re capable of if we don’t come out switched on. If we do come out and play the way we know we can on both ends of the floor then I think
it will be a very interesting and competitive game.” One key difference since the last time the two sides met has been the return of Ash Karaitiana to Braves colours. Her absence in the qualifying final meant Launceston could use the size of Lauren Nicholson and Ally Wilson to its advantage in posting up the likes of Bianca Dufelmeier and Andrea Wilson. Since returning, Karaitiana has scored 27 and 17 points in consecutive Braves wins, but adds flexibility and strength to the Braves lineup. “To get Ash back into the lineup gives us that bigger body, a taller guard and a bit more experience and it makes us that little bit tougher on defence,” Moody said. “Also, having Kara Tessari on one wing and Ash on the other stretches the floor means the defence can’t collapse in on Gabe or Maddy Wild. The difference one player can make, she isn’t the whole team, but she allows us to play our best basketball.” Despite making several finals in recent years, the Braves women haven’t won a title since 2007. Under first-year coach Moody the group has had a connectedness that is rare among many sides, Karaitiana saying there has been “absolutely no drama, which can be rare”. Moody says she hasn’t thought

LEADER: Braves women’s coach Megan Moody. about what winning a title in her first season as coach would mean to her, deferring to the players when speaking about what it could represent. What she does know is how focussed the group is on capping what has been a remarkable season with one final win. “We want to be the group that
brings that championship back here, we want that banner on the wall,” Moody said. “We definitely have the playing group that is capable of doing it, we knew that from the start and we put the group together knowing this was possible. “Now it’s time to just go out and
Ash K’s key role ASH Karaitiana may have the biggest job in the SEABL ahead of her this weekend, but the Bendigo Braves guard’s confidence levels couldn’t be higher. The sweet-shooting guard has translated a stellar New Zealand representative debut into two massive performances for the Bendigo Braves women in their run to this weekend’s grand final. In two games since returning she has scored 27 and 17 points while also filling a key defensive role on the wing. Karaitiana said the confidence she gained from her time spent with the New Zealand national team has been invaluable. “It’s a bit of both confidence and knowing when I need to step up for the team,” she said. “We have so many dominant players on our team and I think we all know what role we have to play but when I’m needed I’ll step up to the plate and I know that everyone else will too.” She expects to get the unenviable task of guarding league MVP Lauren Nicholson, a matchup that
will be a huge indicator of the fortunes of both teams. “I’ll most likely have Nicholson or (Ally Wilson), but I think with them they have three really dominant players, so if we shut two of them down then one of them won’t beat us on their own,” Karaitiana said, referring to Nicholson, Wilson and point guard Lauren Mansfield. “At the same time we have so many players and so much depth, I think they’ll need to take care of us and I don’t think they’ll be able to do that.” Karaitiana also admits it will be nice to play in a title game alongside close friend and teammate Nadeen Payne, after winning a Queensland Basketball League championship with Sydney by beating Payne’s Gold Coast side last year. “We always said we would play together in the offseason, it’s much nicer to be playing with her than playing against her,” she said. “I’m just not allowed to mention that she lost last year. But it’s been great to play with her and really the whole group has been amazing.”
do it. There’s just one more hurdle.” The Braves play Launceston in the SEABL grand final at Melbourne’s State Basketball centre from 5.45pm on Saturday before the men’s grand final between Hobart and Nunawading. The games will be livestreamed through the SEABL’s website at www. seabl.com.au

Eagles ready to fly high at night By JOEL PETERSON
MAIDEN GULLY YCW will host its first night game at Marist College tomorrow night as the Loddon Valley Football Netball League’s home and away season draws to a close. The Eagles sit second in coach Wayne Mitrovic’s first season, and tackle top side Newbridge in a blockbuster to finish the home and away campaign. The match was originally scheduled to be played at Newbridge’s Rverside Oval, but with lights going up in the second half of the year at Marist College the clubs agreed to allow YCW to host the match. It marks the first time the lights have been used for premiership points at the Maiden Gully facility. Council and the Victorian government have both poured money into the project, while the club has contributed $76,000. The first versus second clash looms as one of several key games in round 18 of the LVFNL season. Newbridge has all-but locked away top spot by virtue of a vastly superior percentage, at 153 per cent compared to the Eagles’ 136 percentage points. Mitiamo can still lose its spot within the five to Calivil United, but would need to suffer a disastrous final round to do so. The Roos must lose to the lowly Inglewood and then have the Redlegs beat fourth-placed Bears Lagoon Serpentine to miss out on the five. Bears Lagoon Serpen-

In LVFNL A-grade netball, Mitiamo looks likely to finish the season on top of the table and earn a bye in week one of finals. The Roos sit two points clear of Bridgewater and face the winless Inglewood this weekend. Bridgewater plays Marong, with third-placed Calivil up against Bears Lagoon Serpentine. The top three teams remain within a game of one another on the ladder. The match of the round sees fourth and fifth do battle in an elimination final preview when Maiden Gully YCW hosts Newbridge. The LVFNL also an-
nounced its finals venues this week, with Inglewood and Newbridge scheduled to host the first week of the postseason. Inglewood will host the qualifying final, likely to be between the Eagles and Pyramid Hill, on August 25. The LVFNL confirmed that the team which finishes top of the senior football ladder will host the elimination final, meaning that if Newbridge loses heavily to the Eagles and slides to second it will host a week two match. The second week of finals will be decided by the result of the qualifying final, with the winner to host the elimination semi final on September 2.
The side that loses the qualifying final will host the grand final play-in on September 1. The preliminary final will then be held at Marong on September 8 with the grand final at Bridgewater on September 15. Meantime, finals begin this weekend in the Heathcote District Football Netball League. Leitchville Gunbower plays Huntly at Heathcote in the qualifying final, while Sunday’s elimination final at White Hills sees Colbinabbin take on Lockington Bamawm United. In A-grade netball, Colbinabbin plays Mount Pleasant on Saturday and Huntly meets Elmore in Sunday’s elimination final.
THE heat has been turned up on Golden Square in the Bendigo Football Netball League finals race as the Dogs aim to feature in September for a 14th straight season. Square hosts Gisborne in a massive contest between fifth and sixth on the senior BFNL table, needing a win to put its September credentials beyond doubt. A Square loss would see them even on points with Gisborne before a round 18 clash with Kyneton away from home. Their Bulldog counterparts from south of the divide next week host a South Bendigo side that appears to be treading water. A win in that scenario would see Gisborne claim fifth. Round 17 hasn’t been kind to Square in recent history, with both of its draws this decade coming in the penultimate weekend. In 2017, Square and Kyneton couldn’t be split two weeks out from finals, while in 2012 it was a thrilling precursor to that year’s grand final between the two Bull-
dogs outfits at Wade Street that ended with scores at 94-apiece. This season Square and Gisborne come into the clash with wildly contrasting form lines. Square kicked just 3.6 while being dismantled by Strathfieldsaye last week for its third loss in four outings while Gisborne booted 31 goals with five players kicking at least four in a crushing 173-point win over Castlemaine. In its past five games, Gisborne has lost to Kyneton by a point, Sandhurst by five goals and has knocked off second-placed Eaglehawk and Maryborough before thrashing Castlemaine. If Square can turn its form around, it will continue a run of finals appearances stretching back to 2004. In other round 17 matches, South Bendigo hosts Strathfieldsaye, Kangaroo Flat plays Eaglehawk, Castlemaine welcomes Kyneton to Camp Reserve and Sandhurst heads to Maryborough to take on the Magpies.
