Be ready this summer
Emergencies can happen at any time. Planning ahead can help you better respond to an emergency that could impact you and your family.
Where to go for relief
If an emergency such as a bushfire does occur and you need to leave your home, Council will open an emergency relief centre. This centre is located well away from the affected area and the location will be broadcast on radio, social media and relevant websites. Services available at a relief centre include: • food and water • personal support • temporary accommodation • information
Are you ready?
• Pack an emergency kit, including medication. • Keep at least 72 hours’ worth of emergency supplies on hand. • Consider vulnerable members of your family, such as the elderly or those living with a disability. • Plan for the welfare of your pets, horses and livestock. • Review your home insurance to ensure you are properly covered. • Maintain your property over the fire season.
• a place to bring your pets (make sure you bring a leash or cage, food, water bowls and anything else they may need). If you are unable to leave your property or choose to stay, you will need to have at least three days’ supply of food, water, fuel and other necessities.
Recovery
As soon as possible after the emergency and where necessary, Council will open a recovery centre. This centre will be located as close as possible to the affected area. Services available at a recovery centre include: • information about emergency grants • personal support • information on clean up, health and wellbeing • information on housing and insurance. Immediately following an emergency, Council works with other agencies to assess the impact. You may receive a visit from staff or volunteers who will be checking to see how you are managing after the emergency and assessing damage to your property, animals, trees and fencing. Experience shows that those people who have prepared their property and have a bushfire survival plan recover more quickly from an emergency.

Prepare for summer
Insure it―it’s worth it
If you and your family were affected by an emergency, could you repair, replace or rebuild your most valued possessions?
Staying informed Hear
• Listen to the radio.
Now is the time to financially prepare to make sure you and your family are ready if things go wrong.
• Ring the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.
Insurance gives you peace of mind and helps you bounce back financially if an emergency does affect you. Getting insurance is easy if you follow four steps:
See and do
1. Know your risk. 2. Calculate the value of your belongings. 3. Insure what matters. 4. Protect your important documents. Our experience in supporting residents affected by emergencies is that those who are well insured, have a better experience when they are trying to get their lives back on track. With the fire season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to check your cover and increase your insurance if needed. Insure it—it’s worth it. For more information: www.insureit.vic.gov.au
• Actively patrol your property. • Download the VicEmergency App on your smart phone or tablet. • Visit VicEmergency, a single all-emergencies website, emergency.vic.gov.au

Stay cool–survive the heat
With summer almost here it’s important to understand the effects of extreme heat, who is at risk and how you can reduce the effect on yourself and others. Heat can cause illnesses such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion which in some cases can be fatal. Drink water: Even if you don’t feel thirsty, drink water. Always take a bottle of water with you. Keep cool: Seek out air-conditioned buildings, draw your blinds, use a fan, take cool showers and dress in light and loose clothing made from natural fabrics. Plan ahead: Schedule activities in the coolest part of the day and avoid exercising in the heat. If you must go out, wear a hat and sunscreen and take a bottle of water with you. Help others: Look after those most at risk in the heat— your neighbour living alone, the elderly, the very young, people with a medical condition and don’t forget your pets. Hot cars kill: Never leave kids, adults or pets in hot cars. The temperature inside a parked car can double within minutes.

Is your community group age-friendly? The Age-friendly Communities project aims to reduce social isolation in older people by increasing their participation in community groups and clubs. Two new resources that promote this project are: Age-friendly Community Group Directory The directory has been developed to encourage community participation by listing various groups and clubs that are inclusive of older people in the Macedon Ranges. Age-friendly Community Group Welcome Checklist The checklist has been designed for community groups and clubs, and is a resource that can help them work towards being more welcoming and inclusive of older people in the community. The checklist includes a list of ‘tips on how to be inclusive’ and a list of ‘things to include in your welcome pack’. Both the directory and welcome checklist will be available from mrsc.vic.gov.au, with limited copies of the directory also being available to pick up from your local library, a Council customer service centre and neighbourhood houses.

Community wellbeing and FOGO
mrsc.vic.gov.au
Food Organics Garden Organics
Our garden waste service is expanding to a full food organics garden organics (FOGO) service in early 2020.
What’s the go with FOGO?
Through a FOGO service all food and garden waste is collected in the same bin and turned into high quality compost, providing a convenient and environmentally-friendly way for you to dispose of your organic waste.
FOGO benefits
Up to one third of the average household rubbish bin is organic material such as food that has been thrown away. When this material decomposes in landfill, it generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. By collecting food waste through a FOGO service, we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and turn a wasted resource into a useful product while preventing thousands of tonnes of food waste ending up in landfill each year.
The compost made from our food and garden waste will return nutrients back to the soil, helping farmers grow food for our community and to keep our public spaces blooming. A much better outcome than sending it to landfill.
FOGO roll out
Stage 1: All households within the current garden waste service area will receive the FOGO service from January 2020. Households within this area who do not currently receive the garden waste service will begin receiving the FOGO service. Stage 2: The service will expand to Bullengarook, Monegeetta, Newham, Tylden and Malmsbury in the 2020/21 financial year. Stage 3: The service will expand to all remaining areas within the shire in the 2023/24 financial year.

Food organics garden organics (FOGO):
What is changing?
Already composting?
Waste collection frequency
Firstly, we like to thank you for composting at home, keep up the good work! Consider the FOGO service as an extension of the good work you already do, and a means to take the pressure off your home compost or worm farm. This service can take the hard to compost items and things the worms don’t like to eat such as citrus, meat, bones, fish, dairy, bread, pasta.
Recent audits have found that about half of what goes in the average household rubbish bin could have been saved from landfill by composting organics and properly sorting recyclables. With the introduction of a FOGO service, your bin loads will change, therefore your collection frequency will also change:
• Your FOGO garden bin (green lid) will be collected weekly.
• Your rubbish bin (red lid) will be collected each fortnight. • Your recycling bin (yellow lid) will continue to be collected fortnightly.
OR FOGO and Rubbish
FOGO and Recycling
Introducing glass-only bin collections STOP PRESS: As well as FOGO, we’re introducing another new waste service. At the 23 October Ordinary Council Meeting, Council endorsed plans to introduce a separate, glass-only bin collection service. The 140 litre bins, which will be collected every four weeks and have purple lids, will be delivered to approximately 20,000 households in early 2020. Council will contact residents about the new arrangements directly. This decision comes after Council was one of 33 Victorian councils affected by the closure of recycling processor SKM Recycling earlier this year.

• a kitchen caddy
• a year’s supply of compostable liners to make it easier to collect food waste • an information pack explaining how to use the new service • an updated collection calendar and waste and recycling guide.
Items allowed in FOGO bin
In addition to all garden waste, a range of new items can go into the garden bin: Bread, pasta and cereal
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Egg shells
Citrus, onion and garlic
Cooked food and leftovers
Meat, bones and seafood

Our environment Tackling weeds on our roadsides
We have commenced our annual weed control program on Council-managed rural roadsides. Species that are being prioritised are declared noxious weeds listed under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994. These include Gorse, Blackberry, Broom, Serrated Tussock and Chilean Needle-grass. Council treats approximately 200 roadsides each year. When determining which roads to treat, consideration is given to: • whether the weeds present a fire risk • ensuring there is appropriate follow-up on sites treated previously • enhancing roadsides of high conservation significance. For more information about Council’s weed program, including other weed species and treatment techniques: mrsc.vic.gov.au/weeds
Environmental tip Rainwater collection
With below average rainfall over winter, it’s a good time to check your rainwater collection system is working well or to install one if you haven’t already. Things to consider: Maximise your rainwater collection: Use the Alternative Technology Association’s Tankulator, a free online tool to calculate what size rainwater tank best suits your needs or how to improve your existing system. Visit www.tankulator.ata.org.au Start using rainwater in the house: Get a licensed plumber to connect a garden tank to toilets and laundry. Maintain your rainwater harvesting area: Clean gutters and use a leaf diverter to help you collect more rainwater and improve water quality.

Healthy farms, healthy livestock
One of the key actions in Council’s Biodiversity Strategy is the development of a private land conservation program. Council’s new Healthy Farms, Healthy Livestock project is a big step forward in meeting this action. The project aims to help rural landholders in the shire implement sustainable land management practices that improve soil health, address climate risks and enhance biodiversity. The project will support farmers with land management information and training including: • regenerative grazing management short courses
Think before you remove Native vegetation protection
Native trees, shrubs, grasses and ground covers are a vital part of our natural environment and need protection. Removal of native vegetation (including lopping, trimming or pruning) requires planning permit approval under the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme unless an exemption applies. The planning scheme provides for vegetation protection in some areas by a number of overlay controls such as significant landscape, environment protection, vegetation protection and heritage overlays. There may also be agreements or covenants on land titles relating to vegetation protection.
• speaker presentations and farm field days • one-on-one property visits. To oversee the delivery of this project, Council has employed a private land conservation officer. The officer will be available to give practical land management support to livestock farmers and land managers within the shire. To organise a property visit, or for more information: environment@mrsc.vic.gov.au
The Victorian Government’s policy for native vegetation is outlined in the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning’s Guidelines for the Removal, Destruction or Lopping of Native Vegetation. This is an incorporated document in all Victorian planning schemes and must be considered by Council when it assesses proposals to remove native vegetation. These special controls ensure that removal of native vegetation: • doesn’t have a negative effect on biodiversity • has a minimal impact on Victoria’s biodiversity • has an offset i.e. planting native vegetation equal to that which is removed. Before removing or trimming native vegetation, it is strongly recommended you contact Council’s statutory planning team on 5422 0333 to determine exactly what controls apply to your land, and to clarify if a planning permit is required. Unauthorised clearance of native vegetation is illegal under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, and offenders may be prosecuted and receive heavy penalties.

As we head toward the end of the year Councillors are reflecting on what has been achieved and looking toward planning for the last year of our four-year term.
As we approach the end of the calendar year, I’d like to thank members of the community for their engagement in such a wide variety of (and sometimes difficult) issues throughout 2019.
Over the last year there have been lots to celebrate. The 2019 Bendigo Bank and Macedon Ranges Business Awards were a great opportunity to show case the diverse range of businesses, services and products that we are fortunate to have here. Congratulations to all those nominated. We appreciate your work and choosing to have your business in our shire.
Meaningful consultation is a critical factor in decisionmaking at a local government level, and I hope this continues over the final year of this Council term.
One of the happiest events was the evening announcing the Community Funding Scheme and Events and Festivals Grant Program recipients. Over 70 people gathered and we celebrated granting over $270,000 to 55 projects and events. The breadth, depth and variety is huge and it reminds us all that volunteers and community groups are the heart of the Macedon Ranges. I really enjoy attending community events and celebrations whether they are small or large, so please continue to invite myself and Councillors to be part of them. Council continues to move forward working with residents to address the waste and recycling issues. Staff have been looking at innovative and evidencebased solutions to resource recovery services, to improve recycling and landfill diversion rates. We thank you all for supporting us to implement these ideas with the introduction of separate glass collection points in our towns, the trial residential “glass only” bins currently underway in Lancefield, and the food organics garden organics (FOGO) service that will be rolled out in early 2020.
The next Council election is scheduled for Saturday 24 October 2020, but with the “caretaker mode” that limits Council’s decision-making powers, we have a relatively short window to make further progress on delivering the Council Plan, and otherwise setting the next Council up for success in 2021 and beyond. Council is in very good financial shape and the economic indicators for the Macedon Ranges community are healthy, with low unemployment (1.99% of the March quarter, a 10 or more year low), modest population growth (2% in 2018) and continued growth in local jobs. All this means that Council is well positioned to continue to invest in much-needed infrastructure, as well as initiatives that further protect our natural environment and enhance the health and wellbeing of everyone in our community, particularly those who are most vulnerable. Finally, with the fire season upon us, please take care and do what you can to minimise the risk to life and property.
We continue to have many opportunities to provide feedback every month on a range of different items from all different areas in Council, so please have a look at our website and “Have Your Say”. We value hearing your thoughts.

Cr Bill West East Ward What has been a very busy calendar year for Council is drawing to a close. I would like to take this opportunity to express appreciation to various residents and ratepayers, and community groups and organisations, for positive contributions towards the betterment of our shire, and its people. Compliments of the season to all—looking forward to 2020. I would like to highlight out just a few important happenings that have taken place since the last ShireLife publication. Over a three-day period in October, Macedon Ranges hosted the Australian Local Government Women’s Association conference for the first time. This provided a splendid opportunity to outline what we do and have to offer, culminating with a picnic lunch at the iconic Hanging Rock. The same day the time-honoured Lancefield Agricultural Show was staged, and I was pleased to be invited to officially open the show. Congratulations to all involved, and helpers, on providing this important district activity. I acknowledge the 25 years’ excellent service by Roger Barr as officer-in-charge of Lancefield Police Station. Glowing tributes were paid to Roger for both his community and police work at his retirement function, and he will remain living in Lancefield and contribute further to the town. Riddells Creek Tennis Club was overjoyed when Council increased a long-running project from two tennis courts to three. Victorian Government approval is being awaited, and it seems a positive end is in sight for both the club and Council. Recycling has been a major issue for council in recent months and results of the glass-only bins experiment in Lancefield are very encouraging. It was encouraging to see Member for McEwen, Rob Mitchell, strongly backing the important Romsey Men’s Shed project.
Celebrate Australia Day with family and friends
On Australia Day 2020 we will be welcoming our newest citizens and celebrating Australia Day award winners at a combined ceremony at the Kyneton Town Hall.

Major projects Climbing forest for Romsey Ecotherapy Park
Council has been working with Romsey Ecotherapy Park Inc. (REP) on implementing a climbing forest at the Romsey Ecotherapy Park. The climbing forest will be a large scale rope climbing feature with poles up to five metres high and three metres high rope challenges including lookouts, rope bridges and vertical climbing nets. It will complement the active nature space of the site and both children and adults will be able to challenge themselves on the various rope and timber climbing elements of the forest. The climbing course will be the largest of its type in the Macedon Ranges and will provide an exhilarating challenge for the young, the brave, and the young at heart. Council and REP have been working together over recent months to finalise the design of the customised climbing feature. Insulation works are due to commence on site in November and the feature is scheduled to be fully completed by February 2020. The climbing forest is supported by a $200,000 grant from the Victorian Government through Pick My Project.
WalKyneton taking shape
Council has been awarded $300,000 from the Victorian Government’s Healthy Heart initiative to improve pathways and facilities that encourage physical activity along the Campaspe River Walk in Kyneton. Over the last few months we have been collecting people’s thoughts and ideas on the ways we can use our open spaces and walking paths to encourage more people to take part in physical activity. The information was collected from consultation meetings with Kyneton-based community groups, and online submissions. The feedback identified the types of features and amenities that people believe make open space safe, attractive and accessible. This information is now being used by a small working group that represents different local community groups. It will inform the design of supporting amenities that will be installed along the Campaspe River Walk, and also what programs and activities can be run to encourage more people to use and enjoy the river walk. The extension of the Campaspe River Walk and its supporting amenities are scheduled for construction in the first half of 2020. We will also be running programs and activities along the river walk in autumn 2020.
