NEW DESIGNS AT WARRALILY OPEN P28-33

Parking pain for heart of Geelong WEEKDAY free parking in central Geelong is disappearing as City Hall clamps down on existing zones with new fees and time restrictions. Brougham St, Western Beach, Gheringhap St and side streets throughout the university and Western Wedge precincts are being hit up with new meters and fees. The new paid parking spaces are appearing simultaneously with new meters. They contrast with weekend free parking introduced to lure more shoppers to the city. Both sides of Western Beach Rd, from Gheringhap St westward, are now ticketed. Previously both sides were full with parked cars but now gaps remain as motorists avoid the cost. City of Greater Geelong’s car park east of the waterfront’s skate park has changed from half permit parking and half two-hour parks to now be all paid permit parking Monday to Friday and two hours-only on weekends. Workers have slammed the tighter parking, coupled with a recent increase in charges from $2 to $2.50 an hour, as a rip-off disincentive to shop in the city and an obstacle to find ten-

Time to light up THESE are just two of the colourful combinations set to bathe spectators in light when Geelong flicks the switch on its giant floating Christmas tree tonight. Testing this week revealed a kaleidoscope of colours from the 25-metre tree’s thousands of flickering LED lights. And the experience goes beyond visual, with a free phone app to play carols synchronised with the dazzling light show. TREE ‘TO GROW’ - PAGE 7

Weekdays’ free parks disappear ants for empty shops. An Independent vox pop of city workers heard comments such as: “People who were during the day, where are they supposed to park? It’s just a rip-off.� “Council should offer us parking permits for a yearly fee at a reasonable price so you can park the whole day. When you’re in and out during the day for your work you need some sort of permit that helps you. The parking in the city works against you.� “If they want to attract tenants to the CBD’s 80 empty stores, they need something.� “Why offer free parking on the weekend when you should be looking after regular workers and business during the working week? Lots of workers need to be in and out and are wasting time, reducing productivity moving their car every two hours. Continued Page 7

Double Take

Your Success

DESPERATE times call for desperate measures, the saying goes, and a looming state election must qualify. At least, it does when you're lagging in the polls. Which must be why the Coalition is busy recycling media releases: Last week it “released” details of grants for war memorials, even though they had been available for some time. This week it sent out a media release damning Labor’s Bay West port proposal with wording lifted straight from a media release sent out two weeks ago, apparently in an attempt to gain extra cut-through. Or maybe it’s just because we’ve heard it all before and no one’s listening anymore.

CHRISTMAS is beginning to spread through shop windows in central Geelong. Myer unveiled its Geelong-first Christmas windows last Friday, while smaller retailers are also adding the spirit of the season to their shopfronts. The decoration arrives as the Independent and Central Geelong Marketing this week kick off their Christmas windows competition. The Independent will post on its Facebook page pictures of decorated windows each week in the lead-up to Christmas. The window with the most ‘likes’ each week at facebook.com/GeelongIndependent will win a $1000 advertising package from the Independent. The competition will conclude before Christmas when Mayor Darryn Lyons announces his choice of the overall winner of the Independent’s $2500 advertising package. Central Geelong shops can alert the Independent to their Christmas windows by emailing editorial@ geelongindependent or send window pictures to the same address.

MEANWHILE, Labor has still to show its hand on two of the region's biggest infrastructure projects: the upgrade of the Great Ocean Road and the duplication of the Princes Hwy between Colac and Winchelsea. The Liberals challenged state Labor last week to say whether it backed the projects, worth a combined $412 million in funding commitments. An opposition spokesperson promised a response last week but never returned the Indy's call. A week later and still no reply. We'll take that as a 'no', then. CRITICS are trying hard to stick an inflated price tag on Geelong's huge floating Christmas tree. City Hall will pay only about $320,000 for the 25-metre tourist attraction but the knotted-knickers brigade insists it actually costs $1 million. That's the figure over five years, they argue, once storage, installation, removal and maintenance are added to the bill. Going by that logic, a $36,000 Ford Falcon should be advertised as actually costing about $60,000 to include five years of maintenance, rego, servicing, insurance et cetera. But that would be unfair. SPEAKING of the big tree, it certainly extended an outbreak of untraditional public debate in Geelong. With the usual suspects of employment, infrastructure priorities and the outlook for the Cats sidelined, the city romped through a fortnight of widespread raging argument over zombies on Malop St and oversized floating Christmas icons on Corio Bay.

2500 suspected of ‘risky business’

In brief

Tax dodgers on notice Mr Hardy said a recent audit on a building and construction business reported income lower than expected to meet personal and business expenses. The audit found that the owner was undercutting others in the industry and avoided almost $170,000 in taxes and was penalised more than $60,000, Mr Hardy said. “This is just one example of the level of unfair competition that honest businesses can face.” Mr Hardy said the ATO used a range of tools to identify businesses using the cash and hidden economy, including reviews, data matching,

comparison with small business benchmarks and community reports of businesses evading tax. Geelong Chamber of Commerce executive officer Bernadette Uzelac believed the actual percentage of local businesses failing their obligations would be lower than 18 per cent. “Most businesses are doing the right thing, although there might be a few culprits out there,” Ms Uzelac said. “It’s important that everyone gets a fair chance and it keeps business on a level playing field, especially under the economic conditions in Geelong at the moment.”

Mitch makes mark as Menzel makes way back to side By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG Cats unveiled their four newest recruits this week but encouraging news about injury-plagued forward Daniel Menzel news almost upstaged the event. Menzel put in a strong showing in the Cats’ two-kilometre time trial, finishing fourth behind Mark Blicavs, Josh Caddy and Josh Walker. An outpouring of support on social media engulfed Menzel, coming back from his fourth knee reconstruction, after the Cats twitter feed proclaimed the result. But the main interest centred on former Lion and Demon Mitch Clark who felt strong enough to declare he would be ready for round one next year. Given number 19, the 200-centimetre ruck and key forward said he wanted to “hopefully cause a few headaches” teaming with Tom Hawkins. Clark admitted he was “a fair way off where I want to be” but felt the break from football to recover from depression had done him well. “It was pretty tough time. I’ve still got a bit of stuff I need to work through with ongoing treatment but I’ve learnt so much in the whole process about myself and the people that are close to me that are going through similar things, so I take the positive out of it. “I’m injury-free at the moment and actually having some time off to give

Body found A BODY has been found in a burnt-out caravan near Apollo Bay. Police said nearby Glenaire campers found the body after the caravan went up in flames on Monday evening, with investigators not considering the incident suspicious.

Escapee caught A MAN who escaped a police van is back in custody after detectives arrested him four days later at Whittington. Police charged Shannon Bonney, 31, with stealing a motor vehicle, theft, escaping custody and drug offences.

Breaking news BREAKING a bone in childhood is a warning of further breaks in adolescence, according to new Geelong research. The Deakin University study found that children who broke a bone were 21.7 per cent more likely to suffer another fracture if male and 8.1 per cent if female.

Taylor appointed GEELONG Football Club director Diana Taylor has taken over the chair of Anam Cara House Foundation Board. Frank Costa, the patron of the respite centre for carers of the terminally ill, said Ms Taylor was a “wonderful addition” to the board.

If I can get myself fit and on the park, I know what I can do.” Clark said his medical assistance and advice told him he needed to step away from the game before making a

comeback attempt. “I would have loved to go back to Melbourne but unfortunately it couldn’t happen. “I was told with my situation that a fresh start would be best for me and people know how much I love the Melbourne footy club and how badly I wanted to be there but unfortunately it’s the way it goes.” Clark said he felt settled in Geelong after marrying and moving into a new home.

Stanley will compete with Clark and Nathan Vardy, coming back from injury, as well as ruckman Dawson Simpson and Hamish McIntosh.

UP to 2500 Geelong enterprises could be dabbling in the risky business of the hidden cash economy, according to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). The ATO said its latest statistics revealed the local businesses might be deliberately hiding income to gain an “unfair advantage” over honest competitors. Senior assistant commissioner Michael Hardy said the ATO had identified the businesses as “potentially” involved in the cash and hidden economy. “We know the majority of businesses meet their obligations and pay

their fair share of tax. Unfortunately, there are still businesses that deliberately pay cash-in-hand wages, fail to pay their employees’ super and do not report all their income,” Mr Hardy said. “We have recently identified 18.2 per cent of businesses in the Geelong region which may be deliberately hiding income to avoid paying tax and superannuation. “What we’re seeing from the information we’ve collected is that certain businesses in the building and construction industry, restaurant and cafes, hairdressers and beauticians are more likely to be involved in these activities.”

THIEVES stole 11 vehicles including a $150,000 Mercedes in Geelong over the past week, according to police statistics. The statistics also revealed Newtown had the most residential burglaries in Geelong, with four reported compared to three at Norlane.

New ‘eco-park’ faces rejection DRAMATICALLY revised plans for a caravan park near Torquay are set to be rejected ahead a tribunal hearing next month. Surf Coast council has previously rejected the $105 million "eco park" for a site off Coombes and Ghazeepore Rds and officers are recommending that councillors knock it back again when a reduced proposal goes before their meeting next week. BCR Asset Management has reduced the plan's cabins from 500 to 250 and caravan sites from 200 to 160 while increasing landscaping around the project in a bid to clear an anticipated appeal to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). The revision also removes a skate and BMX park, a tennis court and a lawn bowling green, while curbing a basketball court to a half-court.

A report to next Tuesday’s meeting argues against the park on multiple grounds. “While the reduced size of the proposed development is welcomed, it is still considered that the scale within the non-urban landscape break of the Thompson Valley is inappropriate,” the report states. “Even at the reduced scale the development will still exceed the projected accommodation requirements identified in the Great Ocean Road Destination Management Plan and will concentrate the impacts of tourism growth into one area rather than spreading them across the wider region.” The officer-suggested recommendation cites: the scale and intensity of the proposal as contrary to the rural setting of the Thompson Valley and the transition environment of the Low Density Residential-

·

zoned land to the south-east;

scale and intensity of the · the proposal as incompatible with role of the Thompson Valley as a buffer on urban development; the proposed land use substantially exceeding projected accommodation requirements identified in a Great Ocean Road Destination Management Plan, concentrating the impacts of tourism growth into one area rather than spreading them across the wider region; insufficient information about the operational structure, accommodation standard, nature of community facilities, permanency of residents, and potential lease arrangements. BCR Asset Management has booked a VCAT hearing for 8 to 16 December. The Independent was unable to contact BCR Asset Management for comment.

HONOUR: Reiny Nieuwenhof with the memorial plans at Osborne House. 131049-01

Picture: Reg Ryan

Memorial sets a Christmas target By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE FIRST stage of a $130,000 Vietnam Veterans memorial in North Geelong should be finalised by Christmas. Geelong Vietnam Veterans Association President Reiny Nieuwenhof said the three-stage project envisaged a "legacy memorial of national significance”. Mr Nieuwenhof said the association planned to have the project completed by 2016 in time for the 50th anniversary of one of the crucial engagements of the conflict, the Battle of Long Tan. The first stage would replace

dead and missing trees to restore the avenue of honour to its former glory, he said. Mr Nieuwenhof said new signage would be in place by Christmas to replace existing signs obscured by vegetation. The project included the restoration of former Osborne Park gates, re-attaching their Osborne Park nameplate and creating a path through to a small memorial park on the corner of Swinburne St, he said. The project proposes installation of a series of interpretive panels, including one with the

names of all 521 diggers who lost their lives in Vietnam. The association also wants to erect a Long Tan cross in the grounds of Osborne Park near its Lone Pine. Mr Nieuwenhof said the association's fundraising activities for the project included a buy-apaver appeal and sponsorships for the panels. The association was still negotiating with council over moving a community billboard in the avenue of honour because it disrespected the memory of fallen diggers, he said.

LOCAL: Hanlon Industries tree-builders Paul and Teresa Hanlon. 131109 Picture: REG RYAN most lost to Geelong as its creators searched for a company with the capability of making it locally. Hanlon Industries’ Teresa Hanlon said Mr Courtney had interviewed nine companies without success and was “just about to drive out of town� when he decided to visit Hanlon Industries as a last resort. She said the work was saved for Geelong after Mr Courtney met her husband, Paul, and engineer son, Tom. Hanlon Industries is one of Australia’s largest builders of billboards. Other Geelong businesses involved included Geelong Abrasive Blasting, Geelong Fasteners, Migomag Geelong and Geelong Galvanising. Mayor Darryn Lyons will officially light up the tree at 8.30pm tonight.

They’ve put the charges up from $2 to $2.50 hours. It’s costing $20 a day, $100 a week, and you’re still running the risk of parking fines.� “I only work part time but I can’t drive to work because I can’t afford to park my car. I also can’t move my car every two hours during work. Lots of shops in Geelong have young people on their staff working for very low rates, $10 or $13 an hour. They can’t leave their jobs to move their car, they can’t afford car parks, and they can’t afford parking meter charges.� “It’s crap. I have to get out and move my car all the time. It costs me between $10 and $18 a day and I’ve been fined $75 three times when I’ve missed moving my car.� “I catch the bus. I can’t afford to park in the CBD.� “I don’t come into town if I can help it. When I do I watch myself very carefully.

He said the needs of the general public coming into central Geelong were paramount in adjusting some existing parking arrangements to cater for changes in demand. The changes being implemented were removing some anomalies and making the parking arrangements consistent across the Central Geelong precinct, the spokesman said. It was unfortunate some employees working in central Geelong businesses and medical centres might no longer have access to free daytime parking Monday to Friday but the needs of the general public had to be catered for in the first instance, he said. “Reaction to the changes from the general public - including people needing to make short-term visits to the hospitals and medical clinics - has been very positive.�

GEELONG will have to wait to see the full range of features in its new floating Christmas tree, the man behind the concept has revealed. Keith Courtney of Creative Production Services said this was only “year one of a five-year plan�. “We have lots of tricks up our sleeves for the years to come,� Mr Courtney said. “We’ve kept plenty of our powder dry for the future.� Mr Courtney said the project had “genuinely captured an Australian Christmas�. Geelong’s council should be congratulated because it had done something no other council had achieved, he said. “It’s a real successful story and a credit to Geelong. Despite the tight timelines, it’s been fantastic dealing with the Geelong businesses involved.� Philip Lethlean, of Light Designs Australia, said the Christmas tree light show would add “colour and texture�. “We approached it like a painting,� he said. “We had a palette using the primary colours and we’ve mixed them up to create a picture. With the lighting, it’s a bit like dancing because we have music to change the images to, so we’ve done a lot of programming of the lights to three specially chosen Christmas carols.� The music track can be played via a smartphone or tablet application downloaded from centralgeelong.com.au. Mr Lethlean said almost one kilometre of LED ribbon was “hidden discreetly� within the structure and even inside its decorative stars. “We can make them flash, twinkle or even revolve, almost anything we like. “We have 50 high-power LED wash lights positioned around the base, out to the side as well as inside the tree. “It’s a fair arsenal of lighting, all computer controlled, about the size of a medium rock concert.� The manufacture of the Christmas tree was al-

A DERELICT power station at North Geelong could become a community precinct for graffiti and street artists under the plans of Vintage Warehouse boss Barry Ballis. The abandoned site is being cleaned up and fenced off, with artists sought for the Powerhouse project. The project could include activities such as art spaces, subculture displays, spray-off art and a film shoot-out competition. Vividly-coloured photos and drone videos of the former State Electricity Commission’s Geelong B power station emerged on social media over the weekend. They were immediately greeted

with enthusiasm. “This is seven stories high. It needs a bit of painting and decorating but it’ll come up a treat with some creativity,” said one post. “It’s going to be industrial meets street art...a match made in heaven.” The Ballis camp was reluctant to detail its plans, saying it was early days but that the activity fell well within the site’s existing planning zoning. “It’s in an Industrial 1 zone where warehousing, industry and container storage are all permitted,” a spokesman told the Independent. “It’s private land and, yes, these are definitely commercial arrangements.”

The Independent last year revealed the old powerhouse as riddled inside and out with broken glass and concrete, sharp twisted metal, needles and pornographic artwork - a public danger ignored by owner and authorities alike. A kaleidoscope of spray can art, pornography and vandalism made for a bizarre coloured exhibition and intruders faced the danger of falling two metres through unsecured holes. Talks emerged last year of a possible boat storage facility at the power station, which the Ballis spokesperson said was “still in the mix”. “But we feel art is a much better use for the site and keeps it within the industrial Toorak end of the bike track,” he said.

SPRINTER: Darryn Lyons with his flashy Ferrari.

AUSTRALIAN Bureau of Statistics staff in Canberra are worried about job losses when a new ABS centre opens in Geelong. Premier Denis Napthine recently announced the ABS would establish a Centre of Excellence in Geelong in partnership with Deakin University, creating up to 250 jobs. Community and Public Sector Union deputy president Alistair Waters said the ABS had already suffered cuts of $80 million and 350 staff. “Staff are clearly wondering how this is going to work because it just doesn’t add up and the lack

of information is making them anxious,� Mr Waters said. “Their budgets have been cut and 350 of their colleagues have departed as a result, so to a lot of staff this looks like nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul. “They know that the ABS needs to be properly funded to do its job, regardless of where staff are located.� Mr Waters said CPSU members in Canberra were “rightly worried� about further redundancies. “We're seeking an undertaking from management that ABS employees will not be forced to uproot their lives and move to

Geelong or be made redundant. “We're also seeking assurances these jobs will not come at the expense of other jobs from the service." Mayor Darryn Lyons and Deakin vice-chancellor Jane den Hollander have encouraged ABS staff to move to Geelong. Ms den Hollander said some would stay in Canberra because of family ties but others should consider moving. She anticipated the ABS would be able to find suitably qualified staff for the centre. The ABS will lease a former Ford Discovery Centre on Brougham St for at least 10 years.

Clients ‘lost thousands’

Trader banned By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN INVESTORS have lost tens of thousands of dollars after dealing with a Torquay financial services trader now banned for seven years. Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ACIC) deputy chairman Peter Kell said Scott Logan breached numerous financial services laws as a director and sole employee of Shore Capital Pty Ltd, trading as Coast Capital. “At least three clients lost a combined total of over $38,000 through the unauthorised trading,” Mr Kell said. “The investing public needs to be able to trust those who provide financial services. ASIC will act to ensure those who behave without regard to their obligations to their clients will be removed from

financial services. Mr Kell said Mr Logan and Shore Capital could appeal to an Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Mr Logan was formerly an authorised representative of Romad Financial Services Pty Ltd from 25 June 2011 to 21 October 2011. Mr Kell said ASIC cancelled Romad’s AFS licence on 21 October 2011. Recent reviews on businesslistings.net.au slammed Mr Logan. “Lest not forget Scotty boy. Every dog has his day and yours is yet to come,” one reviewer posted Another reviewer said he had lost “more than you want to know”. The Independent was unable to contact Mr Logan for comment.

the financial services industry.” Mr Kell said an ASIC investigation found that Shore Capital traded without authorisation in contracts for difference on behalf of retail clients between April 2011 and June 2013. “Shore Capital initially traded on behalf of retail clients without holding an Australian financial services licence. It later traded on behalf of retail clients when it held a licence for the provision of services to wholesale customers only.” Mr Kell said Mr Logan made numerous false or misleading representations to clients about Shore Capital’s authorisation to provide financial services and its fees. Shore Capital’s licence was cancelled on 16 October after it ceased operating in

Ed shows how to get a head in life GEELONG’S headless monarch has been re-ensconced in the city’s waterfront precinct. The city’s statue of Edward VII was installed on a site near the corner of Moorabool and Brougham Sts yesterday morning - with a new head. City Hall and businessman Frank Costa paid about $50,000 to restore the statue after its decapitation while in storage for years to make way for a mini-harbour between Cunningham Pier and the waterfront’s Carousel. The culprit was never revealed despite repeated public pleas down the years for the return of the missing head. Council’s heritage portfolio-holder, Tony Ansett, said he was “rapt” about Edward’s return after it spent years languishing headless in a depot at Belmont. The statue was restored using its original Italian marble.

VIVA Energy Australia is embroiled in an industrial dispute three months after taking over Corio’s former Shell refinery. Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) has alleged the company was party to a secret plan to sack and abandon 36 crew members of one of Viva’s chartered fuel tankers. The matter was heard in the Fair Work Commission with all parties, including the tanker’s Canadian-based owner, Teekay Corporation, ordered to negotiate a settlement. MUA assistant national secretary Warren Smith said the plan involved the tanker Tandara Spirit secretly leaving Australia and “dumping� the Australian crew unemployed in Singapore. The union refused to refuel the tanker, leaving it stranded in Melbourne. “Just three months after buy-

“As a result of agreeing to new contracts, which significantly increase ground fuel sales in Victoria, Viva Energy’s requirement to export product from Victoria has considerably reduced,� she said. “Consequently, Viva Energy no longer requires a dedicated coastal vessel to transport petroleum products within Australia. “Viva Energy will meet all obligations under the time charter agreement with Teekay Australia and this is consistent with the general undertakings contained in the memorandum of understanding. “The ship is returning to Singapore so it can be prepared for re-delivery to its owners before the time charter expires. “We continue to focus on our goal of ensuring the long-term viability of Geelong Refinery. “Since taking this decision Viva Energy has held discussions with the ship operator, employees, unions and the government.�

ing the Australian petroleum business, Vitol is stealthily sacking the Australian crew and undermining Australian fuel security and coastal trade,� Mr Smith said. “Vitol (Viva’s major investor) is trying to dump the Australian crew without telling anyone and it’s not on. “The members are angry, the union is angry and the community is angry – we want to ensure Australian cargo is carried around the coast by Australian seafarers. “We should be beefing up our fuel security, not opening it up to the whims of multi-national corporations where profits will come before the best interests of the Australian public.� Viva spokesperson Jessica Marriner said the company would hand back the Tandara Spirit when the agreement expired in January and would not replace the vessel.

Trades Hall, MP Buckets&Bouquets clash over fund A MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR fund to help redundant manufacturing workers in Geelong is missing its target, according to a union leader. Geelong and Region Trades and Labour Council boss Tim Gooden said the fund had “supposedly” created 737 jobs but “only 183” were in advanced manufacturing. “The remaining jobs are mostly in agriculture production and warehousing, and a large proportion will be casual and part-time,” he said. Mr Gooden wanted the remaining $10 million in the Geelong Innovation and Investment Fund redirected to “advanced manufacturing”. Liberal MP for Corangamite Sarah Henderson defended the fund as “delivering in spades”. She accused Trades Hall of “playing partisan politics” after failing to support State Government’s East West Link project, which promised 6700 jobs. Trades Hall had also failed to speak out against state Labor’s failing to back upgrades to the Great Ocean Road and the Princes Highway between Colac and Winchelsea. “Trades Hall has failed Geelong workers,” she said.

Jobs ‘falling as flights reduce’ By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN JETSTAR sometimes reduced its flights from Avalon to three a day during last winter, an election forum has heard in Geelong. Avalon Airport workers told the forum the number of ground staff was now down to 10 or 11 from a high of 30. The airport was going through a “slow demise” with a lack of government investment, staff said. “Avalon Jetstar is competing against Tullamarine Jetstar,” one staff member, who asked not to be identified, said.

“We're hoping things pick up during the summer season because if Jetstar pull out Avalon will be left with nothing but a car park.” The Independent has reported calls in recent months by Mayor Darryn Lyons and Geelong business leaders to “use it or lose it”. Australian Services Union (ASU) organised the forum last week, inviting candidates from all parties to address the future of the beleaguered facility. ASU Victorian secretary Ingrid Stitt raised fears over the future of the Jetstar flights after an $11 million grant from State

Government and Avalon to keep the airline at Avalon ran out in April. “That poses questions about the job security of our members working at Avalon and about the future of Avalon as a credible second airport for Victoria,” Ms Stitt said. Jetstar has steadily wound back flights at Avalon in recent years, cutting services between the airport and centres including Adelaide, the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Sydney is the only Jetstar destination now available from Avalon.

Letters Light on for transport

PERHAPS Mayor Darryn Lyons can give us a lift home tonight, along with the thousands of other families in Geelong that rely on public transport. My children can’t wait to see the spectacular light show but at this time of year I just can't justify the $18 to $22 taxi fare home. It’s all very well saying “Christmas is all about the kids” and “if you're not there you will miss history” (Independent, 14 November) but, with just 33 minutes to watch the show and then get to the bus interchange on Moorabool St to catch the last bus home, it just isn't going to happen. On Friday nights our last bus home, the number 50 Hamlyn Heights service, departs at 9.03pm. Although I find Cr Lyons’ many efforts to revitalise our small city and re-enthuse its citizens commendable, how can it work if the bus services grind to a halt so early in the evening? Saturday and Sunday evenings are even more embarrassing, with the last buses leaving at 7.04pm and 6.04pm respectively – just the time when people want to come into town to eat out or take a stroll along the waterfront, not rush home. I wonder how I will explain this to our visitors from overseas next month. The unveiling of a global beacon this evening? On your bike! Fix our public transport first. D Godfrey Newtown

Weak support for take-off GIVEN that Avalon Airport remains one of Geelong’s heavy-lifters, why hasn’t it been given fair dinkum support from the three tiers of governance, particularly at a state level given the 29 November poll? Given their ineptitude, G21, Committee for Geelong and Geelong Chamber of Commerce also need to be held to account by their members and subscribers. While Committee for Geelong chairman Dan Simmonds has said Avalon is critical for Geelong (Independent, 23 May), committee chief Rebecca Casson has praised Avalon management for signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the owner of China's fourth largest airline (Independent, 11 April) and G21 has been supportive of the on again/off again/on again rail spur proposal, the support from advocacy groups, given the airport’s potential, has been underwhelming.

1163519-46-14

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au PO Box 407, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799

The fact is that Avalon Airport is perched on the cusp of at best going nowhere or, more to the point, going out backward at a great rate of knots. Lamentably, we have heard less than a whimper from Lara election aspirants John Eren and Tony McManus. Ditto Corio federal MP Richard Marles. The prospect of Asian carriers ferrying in tourists and back-loading fresh food and other produce to burgeoning Asian markets offers a bonanza for Chinese investors and locals with smarts that would invert concerned investor confidence and stand regional unemployment gloom on its head. It all begs the question: why isn’t it happening? Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Away with the ferries AGAIN we are deluged with hype regarding the proposed Portarlington ferry service to Melbourne, with the ferry group even publicly talking up the prospect that this service could be up and running by mid2015 (Independent, 7 November). The Labor party is said to support this proposal but its most recent election propaganda states that, if elected, it will “take the lead on a ferry service to Melbourne”. Hardly a firm commitment to spend millions of dollars on a dubious ferry service! In September 2010 state Labor’s then-transport minister, Martin Pakula wrote: “The Department of Transport (DOT) has investigated options for a ferry service on Port Phillip Bay. The DOT has concluded that a service between Portarlington and Melbourne is unlikely to be viable, due to a lack of patronage demand, poor service frequency and issues with service unreliability. “DOT believes that the transport needs of the Bellarine Peninsula can be more effectively met through the enhancement of existing land-based transport routes”. Perhaps it’s time to be reminded that on 16 July 2010 the Independent reported: “A relatively low number of commuters have expressed interest in using a proposed ferry service between Portarlington and Melbourne, according to State Government Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings”. There has been no indication the Transport Department has changed its mind or that Labor has had a change of heart in the four years since 2010 regarding the viability of the ferry.

Enjoy Schoolies road trips in safety BETWEEN finishing their VCE exams and Schoolies Week celebrations, Victoria’s latest round of school leavers has plenty to look forward to in coming weeks. Schoolies is an exciting time for any young person and for many of them it will be the first time they will go on an extended road trip with friends since gaining their licence. Given the strong links between inexperienced drivers and road trauma, now is the time to be planning that trip to ensure they get home safely. Avoiding distraction from mobile phones or other passengers, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and speeding is a good place

Power for the people UNFORTUNATELY, space does not permit me to refute point by point the wildly exaggerated claims of Mark Ruseler and Judith Baldacchino (Letters, 14 November). The claim 97 per cent of scientists support global warming has been proven over and over to be bogus. The biggest challenge facing Australia is the ignorance surrounding true climate change science. Carbon dioxide (CO2)is not a pollutant. It’s in such small quantities in the atmosphere that it’s incapable of causing climate change, unlike water vapour, which is 97 per cent of greenhouse gases. Despite the massive increase in CO2 emissions over the past two decades the temperature has gone sideways for nearly 18 years. We have much more to fear from a cooling than a modest warming, which would be highly beneficial for the planet because crops would be more bountiful and the climate more pleasant. Continuing to go down the renewable energy path will undermine the economy and cause tens of thousands of jobs to be exported offshore. Sending a green wrecking ball through the economy, as has

nobody wants to see the time of their life turn to tragedy. Parents also have a role to play in ensuring a safe Schoolies week. If a child is going on a long trip, which for a new driver can be as short as two hours, parents should make sure their children take the family’s safest car and plan rest stops to prevent drowsiness.

Nature has blessed this country with an abundance of cheap, reliable power. Given Australia’s rapidly expanding population, we must not squander this most valuable asset in favour of unreliable, expensive renewable energy. Alan Barron Grovedale

Age of unreason I WISH Labor and the Greens would allow us to reduce our fossil fuel energy in the same manner as China has just announced – with additional nuclear, hydro and gas power. Unfortunately, they remain steadfastly opposed to all these logical lower cost, zero or low-emission alternatives. I look forward to the age of reason and enlightenment when Australia can finally reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Gary Matchan Mount Doran

Ooh la la, Normie’s returning By NOEL MURPHY AT HIS peak, Normie Rowe was a national phenomenon, drawing crowds of young screaming female fans in Beatlemania fashion. His lyrics questioned the Bible and his long hair, in 1965, scared the establishment. When he was suddenly conscripted and sent to Vietnam, right at the height of his fame – and just as he was shaping up as a possible international star – questions were asked about whether it was deliberate. Elvis had been taken off the grid and sent to Germany with the US Army only a few years before. Rowe hits such as It Ain’t Necessarily So, Ooh La La, It’s Not Easy and Shakin’ All Over remain rock-pop fixtures of the Australian music landscape – and he couldn’t be prouder. Rowe still plays with mates from back in the day and he’s still suspicious, too, about his army role. But at 67, he’s mellowed. Besides, as he says, it’s not good trying to sue now. “My feeling is there’s nothing I can do about it now,” he told the Independent. “If I could sue the people who perpetrated it, like Harold Holt,

Pop Colleen Hewett and a band that features mates from his heyday to play on 28 November.

“The guy on drums is Graeme Trottman, he’s 72, from The Playboys. The guitarist with me is Gil Matthews, he used to be Billy Thorpe’s drummer, there’s Tony Naylor from Avalanche and the Bootleg Family. “We’ve really got some heavyweights on stage and some fantastic sounds.” Rowe’s life has not been all music. He’s also carved a career in TV and stage, performing in all manner of shows including Cyrano de Bergerac, Les Miserables, Annie, Chess, Evita, on variety shows with Mike Walsh and Don Lane, and TV programs including Sons & Daughters. But he still belts out the hits, and enjoys it wholeheartedly. “I love it,” he said. “I don’t know why but I seem to enjoy it even more these days. Maybe it’s because I know what I’m doing. I’m controlling it. “I don’t think anyone was really controlling things back in the early days.” Between Rowe and Hewett, the Gateway show will feature enough hits to keep going all night. And, as Rowe said, he hasn’t played a gig in years with the crowd “chockers”.

The band, which bought classics such as Kiss My Art, Nude School, Die Yuppie Die, Kill, Kill, Kill and which featured a horn section dubbed The Brassholes, will be joined a host of Aussie rock legends, stellar tribute bands and country stars at the second annual festival.

The Friday night will feature Painters and Dockers with Defryme, Safari Motel, The Black Sorrows, Broderick Smith, Chris Wilson Band, Claude Hay, Gwyn Ashton, Electric Mary and Phil Para.

IF THE reviews on social media are anything to go by, Sakuratei Japanese Cuisine in Manifold Heights is a gem. The recent addition to Geelong West’s culinary culture has been reviewed as one of the best Japanese restaurants outside Japan. And that’s from well-travelled tourists as well as locals who have discovered the authentic delicacies served with a minimum of fuss. The real strength of Sakuratei is the extensive menu, with everything from soups and entrees, main courses of ramen, udon, bento boxes and curries to desserts. The teriyaki chicken and beef have proved popular, along with the dumplings and hot-plate meals. Owner Flora says although some meals are not necessarily on the menu, the kitchen is happy to entertain special orders. A range of specials is available at the sushi bar along with a takeaway service - and all at very affordable prices. Not only are the various dishes freshly cooked, they’re served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. After three and a half years in busy Shannon Ave, Sakuratei has developed a loyal band of regular customers, Flora says.

DECLARATION Fire Restrictions CFA and the DEPI will be introducing Fire Restrictions (Fire Danger Period and Prohibited Periodd respectively) for all private land within the municipalities listed below.

NOVEMBER 16-23, 2014

Message from Premier THIS week is Fire Action Week, Victoria’s annual fire planning and preparation week. Now is the time to increase your understanding of the fire risk where you live, prepare your property, and decide what you’ll do if a fire starts. Last summer, fire fighters responded to more than 40,000 incidents, and 4600 bushfires and grassfires burned across the state. This year, the season forecast tells us that we’re facing an above average risk of bushfire and grassfire. Right now is the best time to understand your fire risk and get prepared, not when a fire starts. What can you do to prepare? Talk to your family about the fire risk where you live and make plans for what you’ll do on hot, dry, windy days. Check the Fire Danger Rating for your area every day and know which Fire Danger Rating is your trigger to act. Understand how to stay informed by accessing warnings and updates, and know how to use them. On hot, dry, windy days, fires can start and spread quickly. If the Fire Danger Rating is Code Red, Extreme or Severe, you’re risking your life if you wait and

see. Leaving late means driving your family through smoke, fallen trees and power lines, and facing the risk of being trapped or worse. Leaving early is the safest option to protect yourself and your family. This week, CFA brigades around the state are opening their doors and getting out and about in their community to talk about getting ready for summer. You can check cfa.vig.gov.au/ events for information on what’s happening in your local area. For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov. au or ring the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, contact the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL) via the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677. Remember, it’s up to you to take responsibility for your safety and the safety of your family. This summer, leave and live. Premier of Victoria The Hon Dr Denis Napthine

The Fire Restriction Period will commence at 0100 hours on the date shown and unless varied by a subsequent declaration, will end at 0100 hours on 1st May 2015. Municipality

Village plans to give Warralily new heart THE VIBRANT heart of Armstrong Creek’s $1.5 billion Warralily development will include retail, community, school and sports facilities for the rapidly expanding community. The Village will create a key people place and community meeting place including a town square and main street-style shopping. The centrepiece will be a new 3800sqm Woolworths supermarket, providing residents with convenient access to retail shopping and employment opportunities. Also being delivered as part of the $100 million first phase of The Village will be an exciting eat-street concept, specialty stores, offices and a gym. The Village will become the key entry point for the estate off Barwon Heads Rd, from which the recently announced adjacent sports and $32 million education precincts will be conveniently reached via car, bike or foot. Th Village is exciting news for the 2000 residents drawn to the estate for a relaxed coastal lifestyle with the convenience community infrastructure on their doorsteps. This fast pace of development, including the provision of NBN and recycled water to all new homes, is why Warralily is experiencing the region’s highest sales rate to become Victoria’s number-one selling estate.

STAN Bone has been building residential and commercial properties since the mid-1950s, mainly around Belmont. Stan’s son, two grandsons and a great-grandson have followed him into the business, making the Bone name synonymous in Geelong with quality custom building. Designs can be produced from scratch, or the experienced staff can work off the client’s own design. Anything from a budget-conscious dwelling or a transportable home to a luxurious two-storey residence is within the expertise of Stan Bone & Sons. Builder Tony Clarke, Stan Bone’s grandson, says the company is different to other builders. “We don’t force our plans on you and forbid changes. We work with you to achieve the house you want,” Mr Clarke says. Stan Bone & Sons’ high standard of service is maintained throughout construction. “Unlike other builders, your consultant works with you with onsite inspections until the handover.” “Quality workmanship, affordable and individual style is what we stand for, and exceptional value, like our high-standard inclusions and specifications that other builders call upgrades or promotions.” Some of Stan Bone & Sons’ standard inclusions include double-glazed windows, energy-efficient downlights, higher ceilings, Caesarstone benchtops and brick in-infills over windows. A Stan Bone & Sons’ display home is available for inspection at 24 Coastside Dve, Warralily or visit stanboneandsons.com.au.

LONG ISLAND Homes is thrilled to present two of its latest designs at Warralily Coast: the Cocos 330 and the Santikka 290, sister house to the Master Builder’s Display Home of the Year, the Santikka 330. Both of the displays have been specifically designed around the growing needs of modern families with specific care and attention to how separate living zones really need to work in 2014 as well as the clever integration of external space to a previously unseen level. Outdoor entertaining will never be compromised again with the

exceptionally unique bar/servery and pantry combination that’s already had the Cocos 330 hailed as a perfect definition of contemporary indoor/outdoor family living. Split-level design is a hallmark of the Santikka 290 on display, set over three levels with ceiling heights reaching an impressive three metres in the rumpus/games room. This outcome was achieved simply by paying attention to the nature of the land on which the Santikka 290 was constructed. Both homes boast sumptuous kitchens, in line with the this year’s Master Builders award

Burbank’s display homes are making waves at Warralily with clever design and striking looks.

Burbank a hit HOME-BUYERS are flooding Burbank’s displays at Warralily on Barwon Heads Rd and Coastside Dve. Barwon Heads Rd boasts the Alabaster 3500, Celestine 2800 and Jade 2400 from Burbank’s Future collection and the Hilton 3200 from its Elements collection. The Celestine features a kids’ wing with three bedrooms and bathroom grouped around a central activity room while the Hilton’s kitchen features a butler’s pantry and a contemporary island bench. In the Jade, a lobby provides access to the three minor bedrooms and a hallway to the family zones. The Alabaster features exuberant contemporary design across two magnificent storeys. The home picked up a gong as the best display home in its category at last year’s HIA Regional Housing Awards.

DENTURES, especially lower dentures, are notoriously uncomfortable –so much so that they shouldn’t even be available in the health public sector, says dentist Nassier Al Obedy. Implants are the far better option, offering better function and a vastly improved quality of life, says Dr Al Obedy, from Family Dental Care’s Belmont surgery. “Dental implants have evolved in the last 30 years from their original use of replacing the lower complete denture to also replace single and multiple teeth, including teeth in the upper jaw.” Together with Mr Kurt Boyd

and a team of qualified nurses and local Geelong dental laboratories, the Family Dental Care team offers special implant-supported full dentures focussing on restoring the patient’s natural appearance and facial height. Choice of colour and form also helps the dentures harmonise with the face. Dr Al Obedy says Geelong is lucky to host many qualified general and specialist dentists who can improve the quality of life for patients by using the implant option. “Visiting any of these practitioners can significantly improve

your quality of life,” he says. Dr Al Obedy wishes government would do more to help the broader population. “The role of government and private health funds should change to be in line with the rest of the developed world,” he says. Dr Al Obedy offers a final word of advice for anyone contemplating implants. “Delay the purchase of your latest LCD technology or car model and invest in your body,” he says. “I have yet to see one patient who regretted making such a decision.”

Sage for carers A LEADING provider of child and aged care training has opened a campus in Geelong. Sage Institute delivers quality courses in both industries, which are experiencing some of the highest employment growth rates. Twenty-five per cent of Victorians will be over 65 by 2025 and the aged care workforce will be likely to have tripled. Similarly, 50,000 new child care jobs are projected to emerge in Australia over the next three years. Aged and child care deliver maximum reward, with employees in both fields enjoying experiences such as the gratitude of an elderly client, the beaming smile of a relieved relative or the sparkling eyes of a cheered-up toddler. Importantly, Sage graduates don’t fly solo in the battle of the job market. Career agents are constantly on the road, lining up work placements and potential future employment opportunities, so graduates’ chances of obtaining jobs are extremely high. Skills centres in classrooms ensure learning is practical, and students benefit from highly experienced tutors. Flexible study times offer plenty of choice, while government assistance with costs is available to eligible students. Sage director and Geelong Football Club legend Doug Wade is delighted the region will benefit from the new campus. “The people of Geelong have suffered job losses

Sage Institute graduates enjoy enhanced assistance into the job-rich aged and child care sectors. across several areas and now they have the opportunity to launch a new career with our highly regarded courses,� he says. Sage plans to bring its fitness and massage courses to Geelong in the near future.

Info sessions on boom jobs JOB SEEKERS can study to enter the employment-growth roles of ambulance officers, patient transporters and pathology collectors. During 2013 contractors carried out more than 160,000 patient transports in Victoria alone. Ambulance officers, who work alongside paramedics, and pathology collectors are also in short supply. Geelong residents can now get a kick-start in any of these careers by completing a part-time course in bayside Melbourne. The last in a series of information sessions runs Thursday night, 4 December, at Altona North, around 60km from Geelong. Two qualifications are available: Certificate III in NonEmergency Client Transport and Diploma of Paramedical Science (Ambulance).

Top ratings for design studies SMALL class sizes with practicing artists and designers as tutors and opportunities for professional placement into the Bachelor of Design Arts degree is paying dividends for Academy of Design Australia graduates. The academy outperformed every Victorian university offering a bachelor degree in visual/ performing arts for overall course satisfaction in last month’s Australian Graduate Survey results. In the same visual/performing arts field, the academy also rated highest on the survey’s teaching and generic skills scales and on its graduate qualities scale, assessing whether courses developed higher-order outcomes and encouraged life-long learning. The key conclusion from students’ experiences was that the academy’s small, friendly campus nurtured their creative potential to become art and design professionals. The Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) is the national census of newly qualified higher education graduates. Conducted annually since 1972, it surveys new graduates from all Australian universities

WINDOW tinting makes cars look cool but Tintmaster can give many more reasons why it’s worth tinting with unique Ultra-Carbon film, the highest performance product on the market. First, it keeps the interior cooler, especially in summer. Tinting protects occupants from harmful UVA rays, which can cause skin cancer and premature ageing, and also helps block UV rays that can lead to cracking and facing of vehicles’ interior surfaces. Window tinting film helps hold shattered glass together in the event of an accident so it doesn’t smash all over occupants’ faces. Tinting also removes glare from the Sun and other headlights, reducing the chances of accidents. Burglary risks are also reduced because tinting decreases the visibility of contents inside cars, such as mobile phones or other valuables. Air-conditioning is cheaper to run because it doesn’t have to work so hard with Tintmaster tint, meaning reduced load on the engine for improved fuel economy. However, installation is critical to window tinting and Tintmaster is expert in applying its products to all models of cars. Staff undertake thorough training and stay up to date with changes in tinting techniques and technologies. Tinting with Tintmaster usually costs between $250 and $500 and takes around half a day. Whether its black windows for great looks or achieving maximum heat and UV protection, Tintmaster has the solution to any tinting requirement. Meeting individual requirements is a specialty of the company, with prospective clients always welcome to talk to the staff about the best window tint job for any car. Tintmaster has been servicing the Geelong area for 11 years.

Battler Cats in season D-day AFTER last round’s stirring victory over St Kilda, Geelong Cricket Club travelled to Footscray Edgewater on the weekend with renewed hope of salvaging its season and getting back into the finals mix. However, batting first after winning the toss, the Cats struggled, falling for a disappointing 165 from just 53 overs. Josh McDonald (41) tried hard at the top of the order, while Mitch Reid (41) offered support but it was too little from too few. With 34 overs to bowl to try getting back into it, Jeremy Hart showed his leg-spinning class, taking 2/34, but at the end of the day the hosts were 3/89. Tomorrow will be D day for the Cats. If they can fire up and grab some early wickets they’ll be in the hunt but if they can’t pull off a win their finals hopes look like being dashed before Christmas. In Geelong Cricket Association, two of the season’s surprise packets - Bell Post Hill and Geelong City - will go head to head at Myers Reserve in the match of the round. The Panthers have been very competitive so far, knocking off South Barwon last round to consolidate their spot in the top six. Veteran all-rounder Travis Faulkhead starred with a fighting century in week one, while Matt Sampson-Barnes (3/29) and Anthony Foord (3/51) ensured a memorable 10-run win. City has also enjoyed a good start to the season, knocking off Newtown & Chilwell last start to move into second place on the ladder. Gun English import Richard Oliver has picked up where he left off last season, with 279 runs already. Both sides have worked hard at spreading the load since returning from second division and the team with the most contributors should take the points. Selections: EAST BELMONT v St Joseph’s, Grovedale v MURGHEBOLUC, NORTH GEE-

LONG v South Barwon, GEELONG WEST v Leopold, Bell Post Hill v GEELONG CITY, NEWTOWN & CHILWELL v Lara Division two is sorting out the contenders from the pretenders as fourth placed Torquay plays fifth placed Highton this round. The Tigers Andrew Murden has been in great form, hitting 80 in a four-wicket win over Alexander Thomson last round. The Heats Kris Gretgrix continues to flourish with the willow, while the expected return of Luke Daffy will add to strengthen to the middle order. The winner will consolidate in the top six but the loser will come back to the field. Selections: HIGHTON v Torquay, WAURN PONDS v Alexander Thomson, Modewarre v ST ALBAN’S BREAKWATER, MARSHALL v St Peter’s, THOMSON v Newcomb & District, MANIFOLD HEIGHTS v Guild St Mary’s In division three, Shelford hosts Teesdale in a cracker match. Shelford tops the ladder undefeated, while Teesdale is fourth with just one loss. Shelford looks the stronger side but Teesdale always lifts for this one and won’t be brushed aside lightly. Selections: WINCHELSEA v Bell Park, BANNOCKBURN v Corio Bay, SHELFORD v Teesdale, Corio v MEREDITH, Little River v LETHBRIDGE, Inverleigh bye.

Springs turns on snapper action CLIFTON Springs continued its consistency for local anglers over the past week. Ben McLean returned to the Turn after his recent successes, this time trolling lures down deep with the aid of downriggers. Five minutes after starting he caught his first snapper, a fish of 5kg, before boating another of the same size soon after getting the lures back in the water. Fishing World’s Kevin Hunter fished a similar location Saturday night, catching snapper around 1kg on pilchards. Kevin also took good numbers of silver whiting, which make fantastic snapper bait. Last Thursday night I took advantage of the calm weather to find great numbers of Australian salmon at Alcoa Pier. Casting Fish Arrow soft plastics, I boated salmon to 1.5kg. Nearby, anglers fishing the channel edges caught snapper to 4kg on sunset. Clifton Springs was also productive for squid of respectable size. Jigs in size 2.5 accounted for most catches, with the White Shimano the most popular jig. Pinkies responded well to soft plastics fished around Geelong’s waterfront. Anglers fishing further around to North Shore rocks caught larger pinkies, some nudging 50cm. The grammar school lagoon produced flathead in good num-

bers on soft plastics such as Gulp Turtleback worms in Pumpkin Green. Bream were also caught on lures. St Leonards Pier remained popular for land-based anglers seeking snapper. Sunrise and sunset were best, with fresh squid and pilchards the best baits. The pier also hosted a good population of squid, making fresh bait easy to gather. Swan Bay produced squid and salmon for anglers drifting out the front. Lures such as Daiwa Double Clutches or Yamashita occy skirts caught the salmon. Anglers fishing though the night bagged snapper to 3kg on baits such as pilchard and squid. Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale were productive for big squid. Larger jigs got the job done on the biggest squid. Fishing World’s Michael Moore caught his bag of squid in the Lonsdale Bight with Gan Craft jigs. Whiting remained patchy, although anglers who found them caught fish averaging almost 40cm. Snapper of 3kg to 4kg were

caught in 40m off Barwon Heads, with pilchard and silver whiting baits working well. Anglers also found salmon busting up in large schools at the 40m mark, taking fish to 2.kg on lures. Freshwater fishing improved for trout, redfin, carp and yellowbelly. Wurdee Boluc Reservoir produced outstanding brown trout, with Tim Beusmans drifting mudeye under a float to bank a fish over 2kg. The Barwon River fished well for redfin to 800g on hard-body lures. Queen’s Park remained the standout location. Anglers fishing super sweet corn kernels as bait grassed carp from 1kg to 4 kg. Out of town, Lake Eildon fished very well for yellowbelly. Trolling or casting lures was the preferred method, with catches of fish to 3kg reported. Next week’s options include St Leonards Pier for squid on size 3 jigs in the evenings. Otherwise, Queenscliff Harbour should be worthwhile for silver trevally on soft plastics. Snapper enthusiasts should head to the Turn at Clifton Springs. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au. All photos go into the draw for Fishing World Geelong’s monthly photo competition.

Grovey lights up with sport funds GROVEDALE’S sports precinct will light up after receiving $176,000 for an upgrade from the Australian Government’s Community Development Grants Program. Federal Member for Coran-

gamite Sarah Henderson said works were due to start on the Grovedale Sporting Club lighting upgrade. “The installation of new lights at Burdoo Reserve will allow the facility to be used in the evenings for players to train

and be an asset for the entire Grovedale community,” Ms Henderson said. “The works will include the installation of six light poles with 16 floodlight lamps, plus any design and site preparation works required.
