cated forests needed to be managed on a landscape scale, rather than looking at individual parts of the forest in isolation. She said the rigorous and complex regulatory framework included no harvesting of old growth forest in Central Highlands and no harvesting of areas that met the criteria for Leadbeater’s Possum habitat. My Environment said the Flora and Fauna Act had never before been tested at the level of appeal, and had been found wanting. In a statement on Wednesday, they said: “This judgement gives the green light to ongoing destruction of Lead-

Healesville-based Friends of Forestry and VAFI called on environment groups to stop campaigning and work with the government and the industry to save Leadbeater’s Possum. FoF president Brett Robin said they were “totally supportive of the timber industry efforts to ensure logging operations did not impact on Leadbeater’s Possum habitat”. VAFI CEO Lisa Marty said the decision was good news for the thousands of workers employed in the forest and wood products industry and the many communities that relied on it for their livelihoods. Ms Marty said the decision indi-

the appeal must be dismissed.” VicForests General Manager, Nathan Trushell said they had always believed that their operations complied with the legislative requirements and that the findings validated VicForests’ actions under the Central Highlands Forest Management plan and the Leadbeater’s Possum Action Statement. He said they were committed to assisting in the recovery of the possum as a member of the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG), co-chaired by Zoos Victoria and the Victorian Association of Forest Industries (VAFI) which is about to hand down its recommendations to the State Government.

beater’s Possum habitat in Toolangi State Forest” and called on the State Government to urgently review the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act which they said was incapable of guaranteeing the protection of threatened and other species. They called on VicForests and its contractors to properly protect all sites in logging coupes that contained known colonies of the possum, including the three Toolangi coupes around which the case was brought, and where they say there is recent film and photographic evidence of LBP activity. Spokesperson Steve Meacher said live video taken near the Gun Barrel and Freddo coups in recent months was not part of the appeal, but would be a test of VicForests’ commitment to protecting proven Leadbeaters’ habitat. “Under the current legislation the animal itself is not protected; it’s the habitat that’s protected and then only if it meets the current interpretation of the definition. “We now have this (decision) that all Leadbeater’s habitat does not have to be protected, only the optimum habitat,” he said. VicForests spokesperson David Walsh told the Mail on Thursday however that while they were aware of the claims of new evidence, they had not seen it. “We are very keen to understand where these locations are,” he said. “It’s very disappointing that they seem to have had it (photos and film) for some months, but despite having actively asked for this we are having trouble accessing it.” MyEnvironment has said it would take time to study the implications of the judgement for the organisation and its members and take advice on future action.

1077058-PJ24-13

ENVIRONMENT group MyEnvironment has lost its appeal against a 2012 Supreme Court decision that found in favour of State Government logging arm VicForests. The decision paves the way for logging to resume in three Toolangi coupes that have been subject to an injunction for the past two years. It took just minutes on Tuesday, 10 December, for Appeal judges, Honourable Chief Justice Warren, Justice Tate and Associate Justice Garde to deliver their decision to the packed courtroom. In dismissing the appeal, they said Supreme Court Justice J. A. Osborn got it right when he ruled VicForests was operating within the law in its logging operations in Toolangi. VicForests and other forest industry groups welcomed the dismissal, saying it showed their operations complied with the legislative requirements around logging. Environment groups, however, say it shows only that the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act has failed to guarantee protection for threatened species, including the Leadbeater’s Possum, which is at the heart of the matter. In a summary of judgement the justices said the proper interpretation of the regulatory instruments was that the zoning for the Leadbeater’s Possum habitat consisted of areas containing mature trees with hollows. They said the instruments were formulated to achieve a balance between multiple objectives including the competing interests of environmental protection and the continuation of a sustainable timber industry. “The interpretation urged by MyEnvironment fails to acknowledge that the stringent zoning classification in question is not designed to capture all suitable habitat, but only that which is optimal or with presently existing potential. “Accordingly, there was no error in the judgement of Justice Osborn and

“We want to make sure we look into it very thoroughly.” The sheds had been used by the couple as housing over the last 15 years, and were deemed to be illegal by council, as they were not constructed with a permit. Demolition had been delayed numerous times over recent years, with the council putting a final stay of two weeks on the demolition at its 13 August meeting. Mr Fewster said he and Ms Gallagher

had dismantled most of the shedding, but were unable to finish by the time of the inspection on 22 November. The couple made numerous other complaints about the council representatives and demolition crews that attended the scene. They said they would speak on the matter at the 28 January 2014 council meeting, while following the full course of the law to resolve their claims.

HEALESVILLE Primary School’s Marc Jones will have lighter study costs in the coming year after being awarded the Tricia O’Reilly Scholarship to kick-start his year seven tuition. The $400 scholarship, created in memory of the grade six student who was tragically killed in 2001, was awarded to Marc in a school assembly on Monday 9 December. The scholarship is awarded to students who best show qualities similar to Tricia, such as academic accomplishment, organisational skills and being well respected and will go towards fees for Marc at Healesville High School next year. Healesville High School principal George Perini, teacher Gayle Shelley and Healesville police Sergeant Stewart Thomson awarded Marc with a plaque, which will be on display at the high school. Marc said that he was happy to get the scholarship and that he was

looking forward to starting at the high school next year. He said that one of his favourite classes in primary school had been art and that he enjoys painting and drawing, and that he would like to one day go into the video games industry. Healesville Primary School’s acting principal Rebekah Clarke thanked Marc for being a wonderful student at the school and wished him well for his coming years at secondary school. Marc’s parents Karl Jones and Cassie Agnew said they were proud of Marc’s efforts and that he had received recognition for his good work at the primary school. In addition to the Tricia O’Reilly Scholarship, Marc also received another financial academic scholarship award from the Healesville High School, which was one of two. The scholarship is funded by bitumen and transport company Gornroamin Pty Ltd, through the Yarra Valley’s Picone family. 1068552

THE mayor has demanded a full investigation into claims that personal belongings were burnt and stolen during a court-ordered demolition. The demolition of three sheds on James Fewster and Carol Gallagher’s Don Road property on 25 and 26 November left the Healesville couple reeling, and they claim that demolition crews destroyed their personal belongings. The couple said that items and furniture set aside for safe-keeping were burnt or taken away by demolition crews. In a 6 December statement submitted to council, Mr Fewster claimed the demolition workers, instructed by a Yarra Ranges Council representative, overstepped the mark in their work to demolish the sheds by clearing the lot. The couple were invoiced $37,119 after the works had been completed. A court order for the demolition produced from 2012 states that all illegal building works, shedding and buildings used for habitation would have to be demolished. The court order also states that, if the works are not carried out by the due date, the Yarra Ranges Council would be authorised to carry out the works and charge the property owner accordingly. Yarra Ranges Mayor and Ryrie Ward Councillor Fiona McAllister has demanded that the claims be investigated internally at the council. Cr McAllister said she had met with the owners of the property and has been contacted by other witnesses to the demolition. “We have a strong duty of care to all our community members, regardless of circumstances, and I take that very seriously,” she said.

Search for display stove THE Sanctuary is searching for a stove. Healesville Sanctuary is constructing a new program enclosure for the mountain pygmy-possum and is asking the community to help with its search for an old-fashioned stove. The enclosure is attempting to re-create the inside of a ski lodge, which will include the old stove, in an effort to help connect students with local species. The ski lodge enclosure is significant because the mountain pygmy-possum was thought to be extinct up until they were found in a ski lodge near Mt Hotham in 1966. Mountain pygmy-possums are Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hibernating marsupial and it is estimated that less than 2000 of the animals exist in the wild - it is currently listed as critically endangered.

Review call on overlay risk homes By JESSE GRAHAM CHANGES to a controversial property law in the new year could see community concerns addressed and a common-sense approach taken with residential bushfire risk. Planning Minister Matthew Guy, in a letter to Seymour MP Cindy McLeish, said that change to the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) could be coming in 2014. In the letter, which was received on 10 December, Mr Guy stated that he recognised the BMO is “complex and needs to be simplified”, though a focus on community safety must be upheld. “The Bushfire Management Overlay should support community resilience to bushfire while being fair on landowners,” he wrote. “While maintaining a focus on community safety, I have

instructed the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure to prepare advice for my consideration which provides more flexibility for landowners, councils and government agencies.” Mr Guy said he expects to receive advice on the matter by the end of the year, with necessary changes to be made to the Victoria Planning Provisions as a result. The letter was written in response to a statement in Parliament by Ms McLeish on Tuesday 29 October, where Ms McLeish addressed the stress and complexity of dealing with the BMO and asked Mr Guy to visit the Yarra Ranges and Murrindindi Shires to assess the BMO’s results. The Mail has received a number of reports since the BMO’s induction in November 2011 from landowners unable to build on their properties due

to the overlay, effectively rendering the land worthless. Ms McLeish said that Deputy Speaker, Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe and Benalla MP Bill Sykes have also campaigned for change to the BMO. Ms McLeish told the Mail last week that the BMO, which comes from the recommendations of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, aims at making the community safe. “But there has to be flexibility and common sense,” she said. “You need a balance between community resilience and community protection.” She said that Mr Guy has met with a number of constituents on the matter of the BMO and that all the members involved would work towards a “common-sense” approach to bushfire risk.

Bushfire retreats listed By KATH GANNAWAY FOUR new Neighbourhood Safer Places (NSPs) have been designated by Yarra Ranges Council. Healesville RACV Club, Millgrove Recreation Reserve, Woori Yallock Reserve and Burrinja Gallery in Upwey were added to the shire’s current 11 NSPs at Yarra Ranges Council’s December 10 meeting; but not without discussion about whether they should be more correctly called Places of Last Resort. Cr Samantha Dunn said calling the designated buildings or areas Neighbourhood Safer Places sent the wrong message to the community. She welcomed Mayor Fiona McAllister’s move to have the matter, originally listed as a confidential item, discussed openly before the gallery. “I will not be happy until these are called ’Places of Last Resort’ - to call them Neighbourhood Safer Places is completely flawed,” Cr Dunn said. “They are not safe, and this gives a completely wrong message.” Cr Dunn said council should continue to push for the more accurate description, but said it was good to see another four places had been assessed as appropriate for designation. “I think residents will be pleased to see more across the shire, but there is no guarantee of survival,” she said.

Four Neighbourhood Safer Places have been named. “We do need to emphasise there are no guarantees.” Cr McAllister said the designation of NSPs was a critical issue for the Yarra Ranges communities and that there had been an incredible amount of work involved in getting to 15 places. The recommendation which was passed unanimously noted that the 11 current NSPs had passed the annual audit and so would remain designated for the coming fire danger period. The council is also required to provide signage and ensure the sites are maintained over the fire danger period. The report is to be made available to the public, minus any confidential information.

Grand shame

Inevitable invasion

I have recently had a very enjoyable week in Healesville and the Yarra Valley. It is over 30 years since I have visited your part of the world and I had fogotten how beautiful it is. Healesville is such a pretty town and I enjoyed re-exploring it very much. However I was horrified to see how neglected the Grand Hotel is looking. I remember it as one of the jewels of Healesviile. All the other historic hotels in the area look wonderful. I cannot understand how the Grand has not had the same care and maintenance. It really is very sad. I am sure most visitors to your town feel the same and no doubt the locals too. I hope next time I come to Healesville I will see a very diffferent Grand. Coming from Tasmania where we really appreciate our historic buildings I find it very hard to understand. Marlene Luthi, Kingston, Tasmania.

I comment on your article 26 November concerning the launching of a book called Paradise Lost, written by Mick Woiwood. I regret that on two occasions in the article the words “pre-invasion” were used. I think that most national-thinking people would judge the landing of Captain Cook on Australian shores could hardly be called an invasion in the real sense of the meaning of the word “invasion”. I only ask one question, accepting the inevitable, that some foreign country was going to lay claim to Australia, what country would journalist Jesse Graham, or anyone else who cares to reply, have chosen over England? I look forward to their replies. Ray Donkin, Healesville.

Sculptured standards I read with dismay the article Deadline Passes

For Sculpture House (Mail, 10 December). Bob Prudhoe’s iconic sculpture house is under threat from Yarra Ranges Council bullies. I have visited the sculpture house many times and like many others marvel at the unique creativity. By comparison I know of people in Healesville who have been living in an old quarry in makeshift buildings for 16 years during which time they have littered their bushland property with derelict cars and other rubbish, putting all their neighbours at risk. Why doesn’t the Yarra Ranges Council do something useful and clean up this property? As these people have been living in the old quarry for 16 years, Mr Prudhoe has plenty of time as the precedent has been set, one rule for everyone. Mr Prudhoe’s house should be heritage listed and the Yarra Ranges Council should stop bullying him. Peter Broman, Healesville.

quences of these wanton acts for the township of Warburton could run into lost tens of millions of dollars going into the future in lost wages and trade. If the people responsible for this act of vandalism are reading this I would ask them to think twice before they do it again because the jobs that might be lost in the future could be theirs, their friends’ or their families’. If anyone knows who has done this, I and many in the local community would ask that they tell the local police so the persons responsible can be held to account. Mr Crockett and the Edgewater Spa Development need to be supported and encouraged for the good of everyone in Warburton and these acts of vandalism cannot be allowed to be repeated or go un-checked or un-punished. Warburton simply has too much to lose as a community. Chris Thomas, Warburton.

Sanitarium graffiti makes me sick

Safe celebrations

IT IS devastating to read about and see the graffiti attack that has just taken place on the former Sanitarium Health Food factory and future Edgewater Spa development at Warburton (Mail, 10 December). This is an attack not only on the building itself but a direct attack on the future economic viability of the whole Warburton township and all of the people living here. With these constant attacks on this premises by vandals one could understand if the owner, Mr Gary Crockett, simply tossed his hands in the air and said: “This is just too hard, I give up, I will take my money somewhere else.” What happens then? Warburton needs this Edgewater Spa development to provide many badly needed employment opportunities for locals servicing both the future guests and the facility itself. The local business community badly needs this development to happen to help keep their businesses viable and also provide work for locals, maybe even some of these graffiti “artists”. This is not ‘street art’, it is wilful and malicious vandalism of another person’s property, as plain and simple as that and the conse-

AS Christmas approaches, it is important that we as a community ensure it is a time of celebration not devastation by driving responsibly on our roads. We know that alcohol will be a factor in many people’s festivities, just as we know that a quarter of all road fatalities involve drivers or riders who are above the legal alcohol limit. I urge you all to consider this fact before getting behind the wheel, or leave the driving to a designated driver if you know your night will involve alcohol. The TAC has developed Designated Driver Vouchers to help people make the right decision. If you want to help a loved one get home safely from their work break-up or Christmas barbecue or New Year’s celebration, gift them a voucher and pledge your services as a designated driver. It could be the best Christmas present you’ll ever give them. You can download the vouchers at www.tac. vic.gov.au or share them with friends from the TAC’s Facebook page. I wish you all a happy and safe Christmas let’s all drive safely into 2014. Janet Dore, Chief Executive Officer, Transport Accident Commission.

YARRA Ranges Council is a stand out state leader when it comes to emergency management, according to a top State Emergency Service (SES) risk auditor. Councillors last week endorsed updates to the Yarra Ranges Municipal Emergency Management Plan which was audited by VicSES in September. The council heard that the MEMP achieved a best-practice result, along with a perfect score when measured against the audit criteria.

The MEMP was developed in consultation with representatives of the Yarra Ranges MEMPC, council staff and the community with a working group involving SES, CFA, DHS, VicPolice and the council meeting regularly in preparation for the audit. SES Regional Emergency Management manager, John Chaplan, and regional officer Diana Ferguson reported on the audit and congratulated the council and members of the MEMP team. “I have done many audits and I have not seen anything of the calibre of this council repli-

Knot nannas’ charges undone

Fox control – Lake Eildon National Park, Big River State forest, Rubicon State forest, Cathedral Range State Park, Marysville State forest, Yarra Ranges National Park and Toolangi State forest

By JESSE GRAHAM

ZO391343

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Parks Victoria are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks, reserves and state forests across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values. As part of an ongoing strategy, the Department of Environment and Primary Industries will be laying buried baits containing sodium luroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baiting will commence Monday 13th January 2014 and will continue until Friday 19th December 2014. Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the above mentioned forests and parks, and within the vicinity of townships Eildon, Rubicon, Taggerty, Buxton, Marysville, Narbethong, Healesville, Warburton and Toolangi. 1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited areas and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named areas are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under efective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas. Further details may be obtained by contacting Emily Borton at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries at Alexandra on (03) 5772 0200. www.depi.vic.gov.au Customer Service Centre 136 186

A COURT-date last week saw the final group of Knitting Nannas (and grandpas) walk free from court, with trespass charges set to be dropped. Five members of the Knitting Nannas of Toolangi (KNOT) appeared at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 12 December to hear the result of trespass charges against them, laid by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI). The session follows a hearing at the same court on Thursday 28 November, with three other members of the group over the same charges. The group of five at last week’s meet-

ing were met with the same results as the other group members and will have their charges withdrawn under a diversion program. As part of the diversion, each member of KNOT that appeared in court will have to pay a Landcare group $50, after which all charges would be dropped. The diversion was agreed to by both KNOT members and DEPI, and no charges will be listed on any members permanent records. The trespass charges initially relate to an incident on 19 September 2012 in which eight members of KNOT entered a logging coupe to protest against logging. The members stopped forestry work-

ers for about two hours and were told by police to leave immediately to avoid charges being laid - the members said they complied with the order. However, they still received a summons in September this year to front the court for trespass charges relating to the incident. A representative for KNOT said the group was relieved with the result of the hearing and said that the matter going before court had been a waste of taxpayer’s money. The representative said the hearings had brought a heavy emotional and financial cost against the group members and reiterated that KNOT were pleased the matter was resolved.

Skills share takes a break STUDENTS from Upper Yarra schools downed tools for a typical Ben’s Shed morning tea to mark the end of another successful hands-on woodworking program. Over the year students from Launching Place, Gladysdale, Wesburn and the Millwarra campuses at Millgrove and East Warburton have worked with Ben’s Shed volunteer teacher Albert Kleverkamp on projects including possum boxes, stools and ‘shoetakerofferers’. Wesburn principal Anne Stenhouse said the program was about developing relationships with the Ben’s Shed men and engaging with the community. She said the schools recognised what a major commitment it was for the

The Ben’s Shed graduation was especially fun for Wesburn student Jordyn, left who won the door prize – a new bike. She was congratulated by Ben’s Shed teacher Albert Kleverkamp and president Rob Barber and students Jai (Launching Place), Dylan (Millwarra – Millgrove), Cooper (Millwarra - East Warburton) and Chloe (Gladysdale). 112142 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Ben’s Shed members who and one of benefits is you volunteer their time and can send children who may share life-time skills some, not be doing so well acaof whom don’t have grand- demically but have the opparents nearby, or a father- portunity to do extremely figure in their lives. well in this hands-on situ“The men have worked ation and develop pride in well with all the children what they achieve,” she said.

Rain makes a patchy return NOVEMBER rainfall was again patchy across the Yarra Valley with Keith Thomas in Warburton recording a slightly better than average 129mm compared to 117mm last November. The year to date figures were 1112mm, compared to 1232mm, still 120mm short of the overall average. In Healesville, however, it was down with Alma Mitchell recording 71.2mm over 15 days compared with 52.0mm over 11 days last year. Hoddles Creek had the same number of wet days, but double the tally with Doug Armstrong recording 118mm compared with 64mm in November 2012 against an average November rainfall of 107mm. The year to date comparison is down overall with 1138mm compared to last year’s 1235mm.

Seasons Greetings May Christmas and 2014 bring joy, health, and prosperity to all. I urge you to look out for others and to take care on the roads this festive season.

Tasty drawcards By JESSE GRAHAM A PASSION for good food has helped to kick off a series of fine dining evenings, nestled just off Main Street, Healesville. Green Street Food is a pop-up restaurant created by Healesville residents Tim Campbell and Erik Koel that runs out of Mocha and Lime at 11 Green Street. The ephemeral restaurant has had three sittings since beginning in October, each filling to capacity with eager foodies keen to try the duo’s creations. Mr Campbell said that part of Green Street Food’s success could be its role as an event in the town, rather than a constant restaurant to visit. “It’s not something you can go to every night of the week or on a whim - it’s something people look forward to for a month,” he said. He said that both he and

Mr Koel are relatively new to the town and that he was overwhelmed with the Healesville community response to the pop-up restaurant idea. “People have been incredibly accommodating - we’ve received nothing but support,” he said. Mr Campbell said the menu features foods built from the ground up, taking on Mr Koel’s experience working at a Chef’s Hat-awarded restaurant in Melbourne. The menu features an entrée-andmain combination for $40, with the possibility of adding dessert for another $10. The next Green Street Food event is expected to be sometime in late January, but interested patrons are urged to follow the Facebook page at www. facebook.com/greenstreetfood. Places are limited to 40 people, with outside seating dependent on weather.

Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley with Seymour MP Cindy McLeish and Minister for Emergency Services Kim Wells at the fire refuge that is in a class of its own.

Place of last resort By KATH GANNAWAY THE fire refuge at Millwarra Primary School will provide a last resort option should fire threaten East Warburton. Residents had an opportunity to tour the refuge, set to be officially opened on Saturday 14 December, at an open day in November. The open day was part of a community education process by CFA, SES, Victoria Police and Yarra Ranges Council prior to the official opening. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley and Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells were at the refuge

and said it was important that the community understood how it would operate, and when it should be used in bushfire survival planning. He reiterated the key message for residents living in bushfire areas, that a community fire refuge is a last resort that would only be opened when a fire is threatening. “Community fire refuges are being built to be operated by the community because there is no guarantee that the emergency services will be there,” he said. Mr Wells said leaving early on high fire danger days was always the safest option, with the refuge to be used by people in

the community who could not otherwise escape a fire. “They are a last resort bushfire survival option,” he said. The refuge includes heat shields, a standby power generator, fire protection systems and also a remote opening system. It has direct contact with the State Control Centre in Melbourne. Local residents who took advantage of the open day were also able to get advice on bushfire survival planning from CFA members. Community members are urged to make themselves familiar with location of the refuge and how it will operate.

Cat calls in alley act By JESSE GRAHAM A TWO-act comedy thriller will be taking the stage at Healesville’s Memo Hall over the coming week, with two characters matching wits in search of treasure. Down an Alley Filled with Cats, a play created by Warwick Moss, will be performed by Exit Theatre with a preview on Thursday, before the big opening night on Friday 13 December. The play takes place in an old, cluttered bookstore, owned by Timothy Timmony (played by Kristof Kaczmarek), an elderly, well-cultured Polish immigrant.

Simon Matthews (played by Ben Nicholas), a young and un-cultured adventurer in search of fortune, enters and confronts Timothy about a book he’s searching for. The plot begins to take shape when Timothy lies and said he has sold the book and the two end up locked in the store overnight to match wits. Mr Kaczmarek, who also directs the play, said that his character, Timothy, plays games as part of his life philosophy and that the play is ultimately centred on greed and what it means. Down an Alley Filled with Cats has

been described as a mental maze, where one riddle leads to another and unexpected endings lie in wait as the characters struggle through their constant game. The play will be performed from 7.30pm on Thursday 19, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 December and from 2pm on Sunday 22 December. Tickets are $25 full price or $22 for concession holders, with $10 tickets to the preview evening. For more information, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au, call 1300 368 333 or visit the Memo Hall at 235 Maroondah Highway, Healesville.

Kristof Kaczmarek faces off against Ben Nicholas in the comedythriller Down an Alley Filled with Cats, now showing in Healesville. 111822 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

I began using LJ Hooker to manage my investment property in Healesville this year. A friend of mine who is a long-term renter and has had many previous agents referred them to me - she has been very happy in a house managed by them, so that’s why I got in touch. I had meeting with Dianne before signing up and she explained the processes very clearly. From my perspective it has gone very smoothly. Payment is prompt, the fees very reasonable, there is flexibility in the maintenance services you can use and correspondence is always timely and clear. There is also generosity in their transactions. Small acts like attaching stamps to envelopes to return items do not go unnoticed. Another plus is that LJ Hooker advises me of what I need to do and when to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible for any tenants.

A regional partnership with the TAC and the Victorian Government.

Police dial up mobile crusade DANGEROUS drivers will remain in the crosshairs in the lead-up to the festive season, with distractions and seatbelt offences targeted in a new operation. Operation Break Up began on Monday 9 December, running until 23 December, and police officers have warned drivers to switch off and stay alert. Mobile phone use while driving, an offence that had its penalties recently raised to four demerit points and a $433 fine, will be one of the main dangerous driver behaviours targeted. Drivers not wearing seatbelts will also be punished, as Victoria Police continues its Summer Stay Road Enforcement Campaign to keep the road toll down. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said that members of the community can expect to see police at major shopping hubs and anywhere with a convergence of cars, pedestrians and cyclists. “We know this time of the year

can be really hectic and people have a lot of things on their minds,” he said. “But it’s also a time where we have a lot of our most valuable road users, both young and old, on the roads. “This makes it even more important to ensure all drivers remain vigilant and take extra care.” Assistant Commissioner Hill said that he made no apologies for tickets issued to drivers using their phones while driving or not wearing a seatbelt, or for pedestrians booked for not crossing roads properly. “That ticket may just be the reminder of the intervention needed to prevent someone being seriously injured or killed in a collision,” he said. TAC CEO Janet Dore said that drivers were three times more likely to be killed and 40 per cent more likely to receive serious injuries on regional roads than in Melbourne. As of Thursday 12 December, the Road Toll stands at 218, down from 268 at the same time last year.

Drivers are being urged to switch off their phones while driving as part of a Victoria Police operation targeting distractions.

Healesville Police Officers tested drivers for alcohol earlier this month at an RBT site. 111824 Picture: JESSE GRAHAM

Speed, booze, raise trauma stakes POLICE have been left disappointed after a state-wide operation saw numerous drivers taking risks and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol over the last month. Operation Remove All Impaired Drivers (RAID) was run from 15 November to 8 December, with an aim of targeting drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Over the 24-day period, police state-wide recorded 1274 alcohol offences and 328 drug offences, with around 53 offences for alcohol and 13 offences for drugs issued each day, on average. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said he was

disappointed to see motorists displaying little regard for their safety and the safety of others on the road. “These drivers have no respect for other road users and should not be on the roads,” he said. “We know that impaired driving is a significant contributor to road trauma and we are continually pushing this message. “Yet we still have some drivers who are willing to put their lives and the lives of others at risk - it is just not good enough.” In the Yarra Ranges Police Service Area (PSA), 26 drink-driving offences were recorded, along with 482 speeding offences and 104 unregistered

vehicles detected, though no drug-affected drivers were recorded over the period. Healesville Police Sergeant Stewart Thomson said that local police would be working longer hours and running more operations, including Random Breath Test (RBT) sites, in order to catch drivers doing the wrong thing. Sgt Thomson urged all drivers to be aware of the effects of alcohol on concentration and to seek alternate means of transport if they plan on driving. Other offences recorded over the Operation RAID period were 2609 mobile phone related offences, 1719 unlicensed drivers caught and 11,732 speeding offences, among others.

1108236-KC51-13

If you drink or take drugs then drive, if you speed, if you drive unlicensed or an unregistered car, the party’s over.

Fox control – Lake Eildon National Park, Big River State forest, Rubicon State forest, Cathedral Range State Park, Marysville State forest, Yarra Ranges National Park and Toolangi State forest The Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Parks Victoria are committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks, reserves and state forests across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values. As part of an ongoing strategy, the Department of Environment and Primary Industries will be laying buried baits containing sodium luroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baiting will commence Monday 13th January 2014 and will continue until Friday 19th December 2014. Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the above mentioned forests and parks, and within the vicinity of townships Eildon, Rubicon, Taggerty, Buxton, Marysville, Narbethong, Healesville, Warburton and Toolangi. 1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited areas and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named areas are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under efective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas. Further details may be obtained by contacting Emily Borton at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries at Alexandra on (03) 5772 0200. www.depi.vic.gov.au Customer Service Centre 136 186 C1104857-JL51-13

Monique, Alyssa, Billie and Hannah were among 12 students from Hoddles Creek Primary School who took part in the Orienteering Victoria State Championships on Friday 15 November. Hoddles Creek’s Monique and Alyssa won the Grade Six Pairs section, taking home the championship for their group.

Alyssa said that she and Monique worked well as a team and took 34 minutes and 14 seconds to find all of the checkpoints in the challenge. Billie and Hannah were runners-up in their sections in the championship event. Hoddles Creek Primary School principal John McKelvie said that the win was a great effort for the small Yarra Valley school.
