PREMIER REGIONAL BUSINESS AWARD SPONSOR: National Australia Bank (NAB) WINNER: SRXGlobal FINALISTS: Wurth Australia, Norden Body Works, Wastech Engineering
Innovation’s foot soldiers Business Award to its trophy cabinet. It received the honour at the chamber’s gala dinner at Sandown Greyhounds, Springvale, on 18 March. SRX has established manufacturing facilities in Malaysia and New Zealand and sales offices in Singapore and the UK to complement its headquarters on Kitchen Road. The headquarters has just under 200 employees – from 35 nationalities – and also provides manufacturing and electronic service and repair. General manager Jeff Malone can see the business growing 15 to 20 per cent year on year, with the medical and defence industries the key to making it
happen. He said the company was developing a cheek swab system to replace blood tests and an ultrasound machine the size of a phone. “The doctor walks around the hospital with an ultrasound like a stethoscope,“ he said. “Or forget the hospital – he can go out in the field. “That’s the kind of design and manufacturing that’s happening in Melbourne right now. If we’re not continuously breaking new ground we’ll fall behind.“ SRX creates display systems for attack helicopters, battery power control systems for foot soldier electronics, remote radio communication to base systems and data communication security
products. It also manufactures automotive engine management systems for V8 Supercars, mining and industrial lighting and automatic door control systems. “The list of potential products is endless and in our everincreasing electronic world, still growing,” awards chairman James Sturgess said. Up to 75 per cent of SRXGlobal’s Australian made products end up overseas. “This is a business that is adding value and supporting Australia’s high standard of living,” Mr Sturgess said. “The US is the major recipient of product with Europe following close behind. “Some of the products that the
business manufactures are cutting edge technology and lead the world in their respective areas.” Former Technology Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips officially opened a new $125,000 plant at SRXGlobal in April last year. “Investments like these are demonstrating the confidence that technology companies like SR Global have in Victorian manufacturing and, more broadly, the Victorian economy,” he said. SRXGlobal was nominated for the CSR and Employment, Manufacturing, Retail and Commercial, and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the Manufacturing and CSR and Employment categories.
Congratulations to our leading businesses on their nomination for the Regional Business Awards and to our winners. Council’s Economic Development Unit is proud to support local businesses through activities fostering growth in employment, investment and the local economy.

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Culture is strategy for success WASTECH CEO Brett Jones accepted the company’s award nomination just three months into the job. “In the interview (technical support manager) Paul (Bone) told me he was a Hawthorn supporter so I signed up,” he said. Mr Jones said the company’s culture also impressed him. “It’s hard to implement a strategy when the culture’s not right,” he said. Recent award wins have buoyed the Hallam business’s culture, including the Casey Business of the Year and Casey Manufacturer of the Year for 2013 and, last May, the Melbourne South East (MSE) Business Awards Business of the Year Overall Business Excellence award and Medium Enterprise category. “I take it as a great challenge and opportunity,” Mr Jones said.
Wastech provides standard and custom-designed engineered products and solutions for the recycling and waste industries. Two brothers started Wastech in 1993. They’d been diesel motor mechanics and had largely worked on trucks involved in the waste business. They set up in Ordish Road, Dandenong, before moving to Redgum Drive, Capitol Drive and finally, in 2007, Wedgewood Road in Hallam. The business has grown from a three-man band to an industry leader with more than 90 staff and a turnover pushing $30 million. Seven engineers work full-time to develop new products and systems. The business has supported its entire workforce in studies ranging from certificates through to a masters of business administration. “The appetite for growth is
pretty high,” Mr Jones said. The company won its first job in Saudi Arabia the week before its Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce nomination in October last year, following a recommendation from client Veolia. “They obviously hold us in high regard,” Mr Jones said. Wastech’s customers range from large national retail stores and shopping centre developments to small supermarkets and suburban retailers. Managing director Neil Bone said the broad product range Wastech manufactured and the level of innovation it applied to its products made it a leader in its field within Australia. “Innovation and outstanding customer service keeps us ahead of our competitors and high quality product ensures we stay there,“ he said.
Wastech was the only Casey business to win an MSE award last year. “Manufacturing is a highpressure industry and it is terrific to have our growth and success in this industry recognised,“ Mr Bone said. “We like to think the judges have recognised the effort we have put into our team approach within the business and the support and opportunity for growth that we offer all our employees. “We have a solid business vision and values system that has been communicated to all our team and is on display in our foyer for all our partners to see and be involved in.“ Wastech was a nominee for the CSR and Employment, Manufacturing, Retail and Commercial, and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist for the Premier Regional Business Award.

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Employee of 40 years Laurie McCoy, business founder Ron Anson, centre, with children Jenny, Robert and Wendy, three of his grandchildren and the Norden team. 136387 Picture: ROB CAREW
Growing through the generations FIVE generations of the Anson family have worked at Norden Body Works. Ron Anson and Dennis Lantsbury founded the company in 1959 to build commercial transport and truck bodies. They started out in Tharle Street, Dandenong, and have been in Norden’s Bennet Street location since 1967. Ron’s father Walter bought Dennis’s share of the business in 1961 and joined him at the helm until he died in 1979. Ron said market gardeners with small trucks were his main clients to start with, then “building an odd semi-trailer or two”. A presentation about his job at a Dandenong Rotary meeting 30 years ago secured the company’s current main income source. The Dandenong Hospital CEO approached him after the meeting and asked him to fit out a disability van. “I didn’t know what he was talking about. I said yes anyway,” he said. Ron’s daughter Wendy worked in administration for 30 years and his son Robert now runs the business after coming on board about 35 years ago.
Robert Anson, sons Aaron and Ryan and father Ron. 133952 Picture: GARY SISSONS
Two of Robert’s five sons now also work there. Aaron, 25, is studying a bachelor of business and working on the workshop floor and Ryan, 20, is a contract manager. “It makes you feel very proud, actually,” Ron said. “Fifty-odd years ago I never dreamt that this would all happen. “Fifty-odd years ago it was a matter of getting enough work to open the doors each day.” Ron retired about 15 years ago at age 70. He’s now 85 but still visits twice a week to keep an eye on the business he built – and dedicated 56 years of his life to.
“The boys are all developing new ideas. It keeps improving,” he said. “It’s a battle. Running a small business is very, very hard. “We’ve had some tough years.” During the late ‘80s staff worked a four-day week to keep everyone in a job. “There’s been many times when it got to 12 o’clock Friday and I’d think ‘hmm we need some work for next week’,” Ron said. “We didn’t have anything. “Then somebody walks in the door and orders a tipping body at
half past two, and saves the bacon,” he said. Over its 50 years the company has employed close to 300 staff plus work experience students, and has 41 staff today. Laurie ‘Macca’ McCoy is proudly among them. He started his apprenticeship with the company at age 15. He’s still there 40 years later and couldn’t be happier. “I’m production manager here now and I have been for 20 years. I love hands-on and I still get hands-on,” he said. Macca applied for a job at Norden on advice from a friend who was working there. He met with Ron and Walter. “In those days you brought your parents with you and had an interview,” he said. “I was lucky enough to get the job.” Many of his colleagues have worked alongside him for more than 20 years. Macca’s son Kane, 20, has worked on the factory floor for just over a year. “As long as you can smile and have a laugh and you’ve got good people you work with, I think it’s a big part of it,” he said. “You spend more time at your job than you do at home with your
family, over your working life.” Macca said many people who encountered hard times threw their hands up in the air. “Ron hasn’t done that,” he said. Norden Body Works was a nominee for the CSR and Employment, Manufacturing, Small Business and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the CSR and Employment, Manufacturing and Premier Regional Business categories.

2014 Family values shine through A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
John and Chau in the warehouse with CEO Serge Oppedisano. 135225 employees worldwide. The Australian arm started in Dingley in 1982 and now employs about 550 people across the country and is in the top 15 of the 400-plus Wurth companies
throughout the world - ahead of the US operation. “Family values shine through in everything they do whether the task is big or small,” awards chairman James Sturgess said.
Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS “The family orientation and values are well and truly alive through Serge’s leadership in Australia.” More than 15 per cent of the Australian Wurth workforce has
more than 10 years’ service. The company provides three award presentation events across Australia each year and has a family Christmas party every second year. Wurth Australia proudly supports Swinburne University with research funds and from time to time funds projects with Standards Australia. The company supports different charity organisations through monthly staff events, provides flu shots, meditation and massages for workers, and assists with corporate health insurance through Bupa. The business has a monthly newsletter for staff and their families called Wurth Reading. It’s provided sales consultants with iPads so they can identify stock levels, pricing, invoicing, product demonstrations and customer analysis on the spot with customers. Mr Sturgess said Wurth had established a world class training academy in Dandenong South to train staff and customers in its products and services, and lived by its statement “safety is by choice and not by chance”. Wurth was nominated for the CSR and Employment, Retail and Commercial and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the Retail and Commercial and Premier Regional Business categories.

SERGE Oppedisano was once a Wurth customer, self-employed in the service station industry. He so admired the assembly and fastening materials supplier that he contacted the company and asked for a job with a hand-written resume. “I told a few fibs on that resume,” he said. “I started as a sales consultant.” That was 15 years ago. He rose through the ranks to become Australian CEO and Australia and New Zealand managing director and said he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “For me, work is like a big playground,” Mr Oppedisano said. He said the Dandenong South workplace was special. “We have many goosebumps moments at work,” he said. “I always try to look through other people’s eyes and make decisions based on that.” The multinational organisation’s headquarters and origins are in post-World War II Germany. A 19-year-old Reinhold Wurth in 1954 took over the family business of wholesaling screws, nuts and bolts from his father and started to grow the business internationally and through acquisition. Reinhold’s daughter Bettina today leads the organisation, which has more than 60,000

Up front can-do attitude FUTURE Metals Recycling started in Shepparton in 2005 when two businessmen with no experience in the industry – Tom Garrett and Stuart Miller – purchased Fletcher Metals. In 2008, with Tyrone Landsman, they established a purpose-built facility in Ordish Road, Dandenong South, and bought National Metals in Hallam. They consolidated the three sites under the Future Metals Recycling name in 2010 and Mr Garrett and Mr Landsman are now the company’s owners and directors. Mr Landsman, the managing director, attributed the company’s growth to three key areas – culture, strategy and service. He hires staff with a can-do attitude and empowers them to make decisions. “We treat everyone in our business as a family member,” he said. “We will continue to ensure we spend a lot of time up front
recruiting the people that share our philosophies.” Awards chairman James Sturgess said a company’s culture could often wane as more staff came on board. “However, through employing the right people with a can-do attitude, the culture can also be enhanced and developed,” he said. “This is what Tyrone and Tom have been able to achieve at Future Metals Recycling. “Numerous employees have followed Tyrone from his previous employment and those people wanting to join have been welcomed provided that they share the same culture.” A long-term strategy geared toward a sustainable future for the business guides every decision at Future Metals Recycling. It’s stuck strictly to ferrous and non-ferrous metals – not straying into plastics or paper – and has positioned itself in the market above the backyard operators
but below the major players. Future Metals Recycling has invested in a baling machine to help with its export opportunities and selected key opportunities to grow through major project work, including with Yallourn Power Station SP AusNet. The business retained the small Hallam site to enable easy, quick access for small, one-off customers such as tradesmen, and adjusts its prices each month using the commodities index. “They have also created their website to enable customers to get quotes online and for their larger clients, they have a client login to give further access to the administration of their accounts,” Mr Sturgess said. Future Metals Recycling was nominated for the CSR and Employment, Retail and Commercial, and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the CSR and Employment and Small Business categories.

Young faces of the future CHISHOLM in Dandenong is fostering future leaders. Alongside winner Alex Woller, Danielle Erickson, Oun Chao and David Mann were nominated for the 2014 Youth Enterprise award. Danielle, 18, from Frankston, started a diploma of specialist make-up in 2013 and plans to make the most of her course, work hard and save money to explore her craft overseas. She’s always been creative and gets a thrill from “transforming someone into something that they love”. Danielle wants to work in film and television and one day establish her own make-up brand. “I could one day be the face of the make-up industry. I am the future of the make-up industry in Australia,” she said. Oun, from Woori Yallock, has lofty goals for his career in the electrical industry. “I want to be the go-to guy for solar,” he said. The 23-year-old comes from a hard-working Cambodian family and between his studies helps at their business – the Woori Yallock Bakery. He’s studying a certificate three in electrotechnology and has his sights set on a certificate two in telecommunications, certificate three in electrical contracting and a certificate four in photovoltaic (PV) solar generation. Oun said he regularly read
David Mann. 135867 articles about solar electricity. “That’s the next step in our technology,” he said. “They’re building solar everything.” His interest in electricity came from his foam plane hobby - he understood the physics of flight and wanted to understand electricity in the same way. His goal is to become an electrical contractor, run his own business and pass his skills onto an apprentice.

2014 Alex is welded to his career A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ALEX Woller is a leader in the making. Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce recognised the 20-year-old’s drive with the 2014 Youth Enterprise Award. Actco Pickering Metal Industries CEO Jill Walsh said Alex was in the third year of his apprenticeship with the company which supplies the rail, defence and aerospace industries. “We need highly-skilled tradespeople,” she said. Ms Walsh said Alex was extremely focused and passionate with a skill level far beyond his years, and that he had a natural ability to digest complicated information about fabrication. “Let’s hope we’re looking at the next CEO of Actco Pickering,” she said. “Alex’s problem solving skills are excellent. “He will give it his best shot before he asks for help. This shows an advanced level of confidence and maturity.” Alex is studying for a certificate three in engineering and fabrication at Chisholm Institute in Dandenong to become a qualified welder and boilermaker. He also holds a certificate two in first aid and certificate two in engineering technology and completed working safely in the construction industry training. Alex volunteered during high school, preparing food for the
project at home with his father. He said he’d always been a hands-on person. “It’s one of the things I love to do. “I enjoy it every day and can see myself doing it for the rest of my life,” he said. Alex said welding was popular work. “The younger generation seems to be getting more into it,” he said. “The possibilities are endless. “It’s going to be an integral part of manufacturing in Australia.” He wants to achieve as many qualifications as possible to help him achieve the highest work standards. “I want to pursue a steady, secure life. I want to buy a house, a car and be secure and happy,” he said. “Good friends, good family and a good job is all I need.”

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Printing’s insane dimensions OBJECTIVE 3D started four years ago with “a healthy burst of insanity”. But managing director Matt Minio’s only regret was not doing it sooner. He and technical director Darryl Wootton set up in Carrum Downs when the opportunity arose to be a Stratasys 3D printer Australian distributor. It’s now the largest distributor of the product in Australia and New Zealand and offers printing services for businesses that only print a few times a year and don’t want their own equipment. The printers can produce skateboards, dental moulds, hearing aids, race car parts and much more. Objective also has support team members throughout the east coast to provide technical assistance, repairs and service Pat clients’ sites. Mr Minio spent several years working in an organisation selling 3D printers before starting Objective, and prior to that managed nearly a dozen engineers in the automotive industry. The skills he picked up made the transition to owning his own business easy. Mr Wootton manages the company’s production and servicing. They have combined their design, sales, service and
technical skills to grow Objective from two to 15 employees and expect 30 per cent growth year on year for the next three to five years. Industries in Objective 3D’s sights include mechanical engineering and manufacturing, architecture, consumer electronics, dental, education, medical and health care,
animation and entertainment. “There’s a hell of a lot of hype,” Mr Minio said. The printing technique can reduce a product’s weight while maintaining strength using honeycomb design. “When orders and sales are now made to Singapore it is pretty obvious that Objective 3D Printing is doing lots right,”
awards chairman James Sturgess said. Objective 3D was nominated for the Manufacturing, Retail and Commercial, Small Business and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the Manufacturing, Retail and Commercial, and Small Business categories.

Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce inducted the duo into its Hall of Fame at its annual gala dinner on 18 March. They joined Jayco founder Gerry Ryan, bus guru Ken Grenda, industry supporter Sandra George and late entrepreneur Ron Rado. “That’s the ilk in which they’re being held,” awards chairman James Sturgess said. Ms Walsh is the general manager of ARM Group Australia and a partner with Actco Pickering Metal Industries. She’s an accountant by profession, a proud supporter of manufacturing and has spent more than a decade lobbying governments to mandate local content in their purchasing contracts. “Those who know me know I’m not often lost for words but I’m totally stunned,” she said. “I’m sorry to add to the burden of the awards but this is a special moment in my life.” Ms Walsh said the Hall of Fame members encapsulated and celebrated the spectrum of people who are contributing to Greater Dandenong business. “I feel quite tearfully humbled,” she said. She has served on government committees, is on the Committee for Dandenong and ran for City of Greater Dandenong as an

Most recently, Ms Walsh has been a vocal proponent for the Port of Hastings development, which would bring “jobs and more jobs” to the region. “One of the really notable things that she’s done was there was a breakfast meeting back in the mid to late ’90s and (Premier Jeff) Kennett might have just been thrown out and there was going to be no local content in trains,” Mr Sturgess said. “She stood up and spoke really well, trying to get people to recognise local content in trains as an issue.
Jill Walsh. “Warrick Heine, then-CEO of the City of Greater Dandenong, really jumped on board. “They sent hundreds of faxes on the hour to all of the MPs and ran a really passionate campaign and actually got it changed. “I reckon that’s 10s of millions of dollars worth of work her various local content campaigns over the years have delivered to this region. “She’s been a fantastic supporter of manufacturing.” Mr Sturgess said Ms Walsh and Actco Pickering had also been involved in various community events and fund-raisers.
“They’re the reasons we’re going to make her a Hall of Fame inductee,” he said. Mr Hartley moved to Australia from the UK in 1956 as a thirdyear apprentice toolmaker. He started Hilton Manufacturing in a shed in 1976 after he was twice retrenched. Today Hilton employs about 250 people and five years ago established a factory in Queensland. “They do all the hard work. We just take the plaudits,” Mr Hartley said. He has handed over the reins to son Todd but still visits the
factory each weekday, and his wife Margo works there most days. Their other son, Mark, is a filmmaker. “Along with Margo, they set the pace. I just follow on,” Mr Hartley said. He also has two young granddaughters. “One day they’ll take over the business and be better than Todd,” he said. Mr Hartley last year joined the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Honour Roll, a nod reserved for individuals or organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to manufacturing excellence in Victoria. His Dandenong South company earned Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame induction in 2008. Mr Sturgess said Mr Hartley had been “a complete and utter gentleman for decades” and that the honour also recognised the work he and Margo did for the community through Scouts, St James’ Anglican Church, Mercy Ships and more. “One of the great things from a business point of view is his trust in people - trust and loyalty,” Mr Sturgess said. “He actually – on a personal level but also from a mentoring point of view – he lets people go out and try to do it their way and gives them enough room to stuff it up. “It’s phenomenal how many people at his workplace trust him and worship him.”

The business was finalist in the Dandenong Retail Traders Association (DRTA) awards in 2012 and was its Dandenong Retailer of the Year in 2013. It’s also featured in several print and television publications. Polish Rye Crust Bakery was nominated for the CSR and Employment, Retail and Commercial, Small Business and Premier Regional Business awards. It was a finalist in the Retail and Commercial and Small Business categories.
FOSTER Street Clinic has been keeping needles off Dandenong streets for more than 20 years. It exchanges about 40,000 each month to limit needle sharing, re-use and incorrect disposal – particularly in public places – to reduce the risk of diseases such as HIV/AIDs and hepatitis. Awards chairman James Sturgess said the clinic had a three-step process that started with the needle exchange. “The second step in the process is at the time of exchange to engage and discuss with needle users and have a form of engagement that can lead to assisting the person,” he said. “Step three then actually involves the assistance itself. “The assistance can come in many forms including education, treatment, counselling, assistance, programs, workshops, pathways and connections. “The drugs that are commonly associated with injections are clearly
addictive and so the battle to stop using... is one that invariably involves assistance.” Mr Sturgess said many people attending the clinic weren’t stereotypical drug addicts, but steroid users, tradies, young and old, and office workers. Manager Debra Alexander has nine team members that include nurses, administrative staff and mobile overdose and drug and safety responders. Nurses are on hand in a primary healthcare clinic that can help with wound healing and other medical issues. Staff also run new program The Breakfast Club, which is about more than just food. “Individuals are able to discuss and consider their problems, be introduced to the primary health care clinic and avail themselves of the other assistance within the Foster Street Clinic such as counselling and workshops,” Mr Sturgess said. Foster Street Clinic was a nominee for the CSR and Employment, Small Business and Premier Regional Business awards.

POLISH Rye Crust Bakery owner Andrew Lipiszko was studying electrical engineering at Monash University when he discovered his love for baking. “Electricity kills and bread doesn’t,” he joked. He started baking as a night job he could fit around his studies. “I fell in love with the trade,” he said. “I still graduated with honours.” Mr Lipiszko and wife Hanna opened their own business on Foster Street, between two Polish butchers, in September 2009, when Dandenong’s revitalisation was just getting underway. They initially concentrated on bread but soon added coffee, sandwiches, wholesale orders, sweets, deli products and a catering service. The menu is a collusion of the Polish couple’s regional influences – Mr Lipiszko from near the Russian border, Mrs Lipiszko from a former Germanic district. It includes more than 50 Europeanstyle breads, cakes, pretzels, borscht, sauerkraut, goulash soups and Russian and German-style meats. Mr Lipiszko cares for and uses a live 100-year-old sourdough starter, monitoring PH levels to avoid a strong aftertaste. “It takes a lot of care to keep it alive so it doesn’t get mouldy,” he said. “It’s alive. You use it, then you feed it. It regenerates.” It was put to sleep in a since-closed bakery in the Polish city of Bialystok. Mr Lipiszko woke it up and uses it in Polish, Russian and German-influenced breads. “It took one and a half months to make it alive again,” he said. Polish Rye Crust Bakery’s bread is

Growth is forged in fire EXOVA Warringtonfire achieved almost 20 per cent growth last year and has a $9 million-plus turnover. Behind the Dandenong company’s growth is a $1.7 million investment in a furnace that simulates intense bushfire heat, and dedication to service excellence and developing staff. Paul England and Peter Downer started the business in the early 1990s. Mr England had been involved with Wormald for many years in the UK and Australia and decided to go out on his own. Exova Warringtonfire advises and consults on materials and products, and tests and certifies fire doors, windows, road tunnel lining and more to strict Australian and international standards. It’s has gone through several ownership changes in the past 10 years, including Mr England leaving the business and in the past year becoming part of international operation Exova, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The company prides itself on being able to quote within 24 hours, test within three weeks and report within a month on nearly all of its projects. It has long adopted the approach of hiring graduates and two to three years later sponsoring postgraduate study in areas specific to industry and client needs. This is coupled with Exova Warringtonfire’s philosophy of promoting within. The Australian operations are part of the Asia Pacific region so the company is part of projects at the new Changi Airport Terminal and jobs in Crete, Doha and Mexico. Employees within the Australian company regularly get to travel the world. Exova Warringtonfire was a nominee for the CSR and Employment, Retail and Commercial, and Premier Regional Business awards.
Stress free is the test KEYSBOROUGH tech company Advanced Technology Testing and Research is earning an international name for innovation while making a healthy investment in its workforce. ATTAR has developed a world-first method to stress test heavy train wheels and found a novel way of keeping the stress levels of its 20 employees in check. The business offers $600 after tax to all employees to spend on their own health and well-being. Managing director David Lake said workers couldn’t spend it on their families but had to treat themselves to bikes,
massages, yoga, training shoes and anything else that was good for their health. He said: “People are the most important part of the company – we have to look at their health and wellbeing.” Employees have been invited to buy shares in the company Dr Gary Martin and Don McConville founded in 1986 – a shrewd move given its 30 per cent growth in the past five years. ATTAR started out in Clayton in 1990, moved to Springvale in 1996 and set up in purpose-built offices and training facilities in Keysborough in 2001. The most recent move
followed requests from workers for more office windows. ATTAR tests tanks for corrosion, welded joins for integrity, floors for slip and more. Mr Lake said its testing technology provider wrote off its train wheel testing method, saying it “couldn’t be done”. “We were a little terrified by that,” he said. The method has been successfully used at BHP’s Port Hedland operation and is showing up deficiencies in new $60,000 wheels. ATTAR was nominated for the Manufacturing, Small Business and Premier Regional Business awards.

Laser treatment that is safe, effective and affordable! DANDENONG DERMATOLOGY CENTRE, WITH THEIR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF MEDICAL GRADE LASERS, OFFER LASER TREATMENT FOR MANY SKIN CONDITIONS AND MOST SKIN TYPES. The versatile Dual Yellow Copper Bromide laser is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of blemishes.
Who can be treated? Almost all skin types can be successfully treated with Dual Yellow laser for a wide range of blemishes, including vascular (red veins) and other lesions
Can all areas of the body be treated? Most areas including face, neck, chest, back, hands, arms and legs
How many treatments do I need? Most vascular (red veins) and pigmented (dark spots) need approximately 3-4 treatments
Does the treatment hurt? No anaesthetic is necessary and is well tolerated by most patients, with the sensation being described as a warm pinprick on the skin
Is the treatment safe? The Dual Yellow laser is operated by our experienced nurse/laser practitioner and is completely safe, targeting only the blemish
How soon will I see results? Mostly the results are immediate with the vascular lesions but some other lesions may take a week or so to improve
What conditions can be treated? Age spots on hands: Treatment to the backs of hands is very effective and removes unsightly sun damage or “age” spots. Freckles: Most common pigmented lesions are “freckles” caused by too much sun exposure. Sun damage: The yellow light helps generate new collagen, the essential protein for giving skin elasticity, so your skin will appear refreshed and its texture improved Skin tags: Skin tags and other benign raised lesions can be smoothed and flattened without damage to the surrounding skin Pigmentation/Melasma: This darkened skin discolouration typically appears on the sun exposed areas such as cheeks, forehead and nose. Treatment is effective and lighten the discolouration of the skin
Vascular lesions/Blood vessels: Broken capillaries or vascular lesions occur when the small capillaries become dilated; the laser shrinks the capillaries, providing instant cosmetic improvement.
WHAT’S NEW: The Ellipse is the latest generation IPL (intense pulse light). We can treat a variety of conditions safely: Rosacea: A common skin condition that causes red pimples, flushing and broken capillaries (telangiectasia) affecting mainly the cheeks and nose of adults. This irritating condition, often causing uncomfortable face flushing and can be safely treated with almost no down time and requiring approx 1-4 treatments at one month apart. The Ellipse laser can treat several skin types. Sun damage: Skin aging is accelerated by sun exposure. For the removal of age spots, uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness, the Ellipse laser is the latest technology available. Ellipse treatment of sun damaged skin help you keep a younger and fresher look with a full-face treatment taking less than 20 minutes. Again, most skin types can be treated. Acne: A common skin disease of teenagers, often affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back, associated with overproduction of sebum (oily substance). Ellipse treatment is effective by slowing down the production of the sebum, with a typical course of therapy being four treatments at three weeks apart. Vascular lesions: These lesions can include port wine stains, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, haemangiomas and cherry angiomas. They can occur in many sizes and shapes and can be found all over the body. Most skin types are easily treated with the Ellipse being set at the correct energy output for your individual complexion.
All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable! Dandenong Dermatology Centre offers your first assessment consultation for free! To arrange an appointment just call 9791 3455.

CHOOK thieves have twice devastated vulnerable children at Noble Park Primary School, prompting calls for help to build a Fort Knox pen. Principal David Rothstadt said students with traumatic backgrounds had found refuge in the Buckley Street school’s chicken coop. He said their mood and behaviour had rapidly deteriorated following the thefts, which occurred before the Christmas holidays and two weeks into term one. “I can say this was bordering on traumatic for both staff and students,” Mr Rothstadt said. The school community funded and built the chook pen, which was designed to develop children’s understanding of life cycles and supply eggs for a kitchen garden program. “We had them for a good six months and not a problem - it just worked beautifully for us,” Mr Rothstadt said. “What we found was there were a whole lot of other spinoffs. It became this really nice quiet area. “Kids started gravitating towards the chooks at lunchtime. “Mohammad just loves our chickens. “When they were gone he was a very sad young man.” Leading teacher Susan Vissenjoux said the Grade 4 student started at the school last year and came from war-torn Afghanistan. She said he’d learnt English through his relationship with the chickens. “Mohammad used to come down and talk to the chickens every day,” she said “For Mohammad it was a safe place. They were his friends.”

A MAN charged over allegedly ram-raiding five milkbars on 5 February has been partially successful in relaxing a bail condition that barred him from driving. Jeremy Newell, 18, applied for the ban to be lifted so he could take part in youth justice programs - a move unopposed by police prosecutors in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen, in varying the condition, said: “He’s not to take this as an opportunity to drive when he likes. “He is not to drive a motor vehicle unless agreed to by Youth Justice.” Newell was facing 13 charges allegedly arising on 5 February - including five counts each of burglary and criminal damage at Noble Park North, Keysborough, Dandenong, Doveton and Hallam stores. Police had alleged Newell used a stolen car to smash into the businesses over two hours and dumped the car in Frawley Road, Eumemmerring. He was also charged with one count of theft of a motor vehicle at Dandenong and two counts of theft at Dandenong and Keysborough. The accused also faced charges of being equipped to steal and of handling, receiving or disposing of stolen goods - both allegedly arising in Dandenong on 8 February. The case was adjourned until 17 April.

Wheels protest on a roll By CASEY NEILL TRAINS, trams, buses and trucks will stop traffic in central Dandenong next month. Committee for Dandenong member Jill Walsh last week announced the Dandenong on Wheels demonstration would descend on Dandenong Civic Square on Friday 17 April. She’s invited Premier Daniel Andrews to check out the Dandenongmade vehicles, which will stay put throughout the day. “We’re going to mass these vehicles. They’re going to be shiny and big,” Ms Walsh said.
“We want to stand up and say ‘manufacturing is alive and well in Dandenong’. “We build bloody great things in Dandenong.” The advocacy group joined with South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) and City of Greater Dandenong to organise the event. “We’ll put the train in Walker Street,” she said. “On Thomas Street, the tram will be indented in that little car space. “I think it’s time we all stood up for manufacturing in this town, stopped talking it down. “There’s so much going in Gee-
long. They’re losing half the people we are from the auto supply chain. “But nobody’s talking about Dandenong, nobody’s talking about the jobs. “I thought ‘it’s time to make a statement’. “People need to see up close and personal what we build on wheels in Dandenong.” Ms Walsh said organisers would bus in workers, Chisholm Institute students and school children. “We want the students to see also that they have a future in manufacturing and what a spectrum of jobs are available,” she said.
She’ll have signage on a VLocity diesel train to highlight its 78 per cent local content, and said it was the most reliable rail vehicle in the world. “When it’s built and designed for our conditions, that’s where the real success lies,” she said. “I wanted the governments to look at when they say best value for the taxpayers dollar, what are they really meaning?” Premier Daniel Andrews announced during last year’s election campaign that the State Government would buy 20 new VLocity carriages from Dandenong manufacturer Bombardier. “We need another order for trams,
but they’re reluctant to commit,” Ms Walsh said. “They need to. It’s not like they’re not needed.” She linked the situation to recent debate about whether new Australian Navy submarines would be built in Australia. “We need to stand up and say ‘we’re not copping this’,” she said. “We can deliver great products. “If we need to build a submarine then we can damn well build a submarine.” “I think the people in Melbourne and Victoria need to understand that we do build things here.”

Russian dumplings From Granny’s with love By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT DIDN'T take long for restaurants to start pleading for a certain Russian “granny’s” homemade dumplings. Soon after moving from north-east Russia two years ago, Nina Kuzovova’s heartily-filled pelmeni and vareniki became a treat sought after by family and friends. Within months, a Russian restaurant harangued her for the delicacies, and further diners and delis joined the queue. She and daughter Tatiana’s business From Granny’s moved into a council-provided kitchen in Bentleigh but soon its nationally distributed morsels outgrew it. “Mum received more calls from other shops and then it got so big,” Tatiana said.
EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL “It was hard to fit it all in the freezer in that little kitchen.” Out of necessity, they moved their assembly line into an unsigned factory in Dandenong South in December. Inside, the starkly white, airlocked kitchen - cooled down for the moulding of dumpling shells - is at odds with the nondescript factory estate. Usually just two or three workers - including mother and daughter - are mixing fillings, loading up the $70,000 Japanese dumpling machine, refining the shells by hand and packaging them. Tatiana, who has chucked
in her real-estate job to hop on board, said the ingredients were simple, traditional and generous. They include locally-sourced chicken, beef, lamb and pork, and cottage cheese - as well as strawberry and apple for a dessert dumpling. “The Russian dumplings have to be full, the dough has to be soft and dry,” Tatiana said. She plans to introduce some Mediterranean and Arabic spiced fillings. There seems no point in marketing this burgeoning word-ofmouth business - that seemed to grow from a life of its own. “It started as a hobby,” Tatiana said. “And now it’s become a business.” To contact From Granny’s, call 0400 963 051.

council's contribution to approved improvements. 20 years ago 20 March 1995 ’Kidnapped’ baby returned to safety Criminal charges will not be laid over the disappearance of an eight-week baby.

Sights on soft hearts By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong councillor Peter Brown has lashed out at critics of his call for armed guards to patrol Dandenong Civic Centre and adjoining square. Last week the Journal reported on two incidents of mob violence in and around the square. In one melee a youth was stabbed and in another youths were bashed and one victim king-hit. One of the gatherings involved up to 60 students from three local secondary schools. To help quell the violence, council announced a two-week trial of extra unarmed security guards and police also stepped up patrols.
In a heated post on the Journal’s website, Cr Brown took aim at “bleeding heart social workers“ and had a simiple message for anyone participating in antisocial behaviour: “get out of town“. Cr Brown said security guards trying to keep order in the civic precinct had been threatened as they tried to do their job. He stood by his support for armed guards. “If we have to arm our security to protect their lives we will, and no bleeding heart social worker on the Federal Government welfare grant payroll will talk me or any responsible councillor out of protecting our security staff, our staff and our clients and genuine visitors,” he wrote. “In short take your knives, take your
hostile behaviour, take your anti-social behaviour and get the hell out of town.” He later told the Journal a “softly, softly” approach was not sufficient when “people were stabbing each other”. “That sort of threat (to security guards) has to be met with all the force we can muster in a legal sense.” Youth Affairs Council of Victoria had earlier expressed concern that armed guards could be counterproductive. YACV chief executive Georgie Ferrari said a more therapeutic model was needed for young people, especially from traumatised refugee backgrounds. Trained youth workers could “get to the bottom” of the underlying issues, she said.
Centre for Multicultural Youth’s Junior Meto, who runs soccer for young people at nearby Pop-Up Park, last week said the best solution to the recent violence was early intervention by police. “I’d say it’s an isolated incident that could easily be prevented,” he said. “A lot of people were trying to link the problems to (Pop-Up) park. “From what I heard it was a school incident. It needs strong early intervention from police going to the school and making a connection with the kids.” What do you think? Would you like to see armed guards patrolling central Dandenong?

PROTESTERS - many of them from Greater Dandenong’s Tamil community - marched about 20 kilometres to show their opposition against the Sri Lankan government on Sunday 15 March. Campaign for Tamil Justice organiser Aran Mylvaganam said about 30 intrepid walkers, including a seven-year-old girl, trekked from Glen Waverley railway station to a speak-out at the State Library Victoria in Melbourne’s CBD. They converged with another protest group, which marched about 13 kilometres from Sunshine. Speakers included writer Trevor Grant, Maritime Union of Australia branch secretary Kevin Bracken and criminaldefence lawyer Robert Stary. “Twenty-four hours after the walk, we are still recovering from it,” Mr Mylvaganam said. “It was a very tiring walk but our determination to get justice for the victims of Tamil genocide kept us going.” The group had taken issue with the UN Human Rights Commissioner delaying the release of a report into alleged human rights abuses in Sri Lanka. - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

DANDENONG City Bowls Club, which will fold at the end of March after 132 years, did not fade into the annals of history without one last win. The Dandy team beat Hampton 40-31 in the Bowls Victoria, division eight grand final at Burden Park Bowls Club on Saturday 14 March. Team spokesman Ron Jessen said most of the club’s flags, trophies, honour boards and be given to the Dandenong Historical Society, with a few pieces being kept by members.

Victims turned away By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FAMILY violence victims and other vulnerable clients are being turned away from budgetsavaged community legal centres in Greater Dandenong. Springvale-Monash Legal Service and Casey-Cardinia Community Legal Service are reporting growing demand but are facing a second consecutive wave of federal cuts. As part of $3 million in federal savings, each of the free services already had $200,000 withdrawn over two years. Kristen Wallwork, executive director of SMLS, said volunteers increasingly propped up its services for 400 clients a month - including those on welfare payments, disabled and of non-English speaking backgrounds. “Our capacity is absolutely at capacity,” Ms Wallwork said. “Our job is to meet demand by using our fantastic volunteer base. It is not fair on them that they do a lot of work and are not paid. “It is also hard work for us to supervise and not necessarily as effective.” Recently, the service had the “awful” task of dropping its service for “unaccompanied humanitarian minors” and a migration lawyer and a migration agent were made redundant. “We often turn away people with family law matters - who identify as experiencing violence - and are not able to access other legal services,” Ms Wallwork said. “We have waiting lists for employment law services.”
Kristen Wallwork worries about further cuts to community legal services. 136353 Picture: ROB CAREW Vera Hardiman, prinicipal solicitor at the Dandenong-based Casey-Cardinia Community Legal Service, said its Narre Warren office was set to close in June despite a growing list of Casey clients. “It’s devastating. People are already ringing up and we are saying we can’t help you,” she said. “They’re going ballistic. They are at the end of their tether - a lot of people are at the point of suicide.”
Its financial counselling, which helped 271 clients with hardship issues such as bankruptcy, debt and motor vehicle accidents, has recently closed due to the cuts. A solicitor and three financial counsellors were made redundant last month - despite a 32 per cent increase in demand for financial counselling in the past five years. Michael Smith, who chairs the National Association of Community Legal Centres, said
the sector was fighting further federal cuts that could rip out 20 per cent of funding. Many of the community legal centres’ clients are those who miss out on help from Victoria Legal Aid - which has had $3.5 million withdrawn by the Federal Government. VLA last week stated the cuts compounded a “significant unmet legal need” in south-east Melbourne. The service had already significantly restricted its eligibil-
ity criteria in 2013 due to lack of funds. As a consequence, the Dandenong-based service helped 2000 less people with face-toface legal advice and representation in 2013-’14 than two years earlier. “Additional funding (is) needed to enable us to relax our means test, which is the most stringent in Australia,” a VLA spokeswoman said. Isaacs MP and Federal Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, when in government two years ago, boosted funding for free legal services. “It is a tragedy when victims of family violence seek assistance and are told that they can’t be helped because of government cuts. “More and more people are slipping through the cracks.” State Attorney-General Martin Pakula this month joint-signed a letter with other state and territory attorneys-general pleading for no further funding cuts. The State Government had meanwhile allocated an extra $2 million for community legal centres and $1.2 million for more family-violence duty lawyers for victims at magistrates’ courts. A Productivity Commission report in December recommended an extra $200 million for legal assistance services in Australia - which would make 400,000 more people eligible for help. An Attorney-General Department spokesman failed to respond to the Journal’s inquiries last week. - with ANEEKA SIMONIS
Good cops charge ‘bad cop’ A THIEF who allegedly produced a police badge and ‘arrested’ his victim in Dandenong last month has been charged. On 11 March police arrested a 46-year-old Waterways man over the incident in Hutton Street, Dandenong, on 22 February. They executed a search warrant at his address and said they found a PSO badge, handcuffs and weapons. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 4 June to answer charges including impersonating a police member, aggravated burglary, unlawful imprisonment, theft, posessing police items, drugs, a prohibited weapon and ammunition. Police had appealed for help to identify a man who allegedly entered an unlocked home, produced what appeared to be a police identification badge, handcuffed a 25-year-old man and told him he was under arrest for attempted murder. Police allege the thief asked the victim to open a safe and left when he refused. The victim took a taxi to Dandenong Police Station where CFA crews cut him free from the handcuffs.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG North man, who had allegedly assaulted his mother and then visited her in breach of family violence orders, was refused bail despite her pleas for his release. The 18-year-old, who the Journal has chosen not to name, was described in a Dandenong Magistrates’ Court bail hearing on Wednesday as “vulnerable” with the IQ of a 12-year-old. Apparently against the wishes of the mother, an intervention order barred the man from staying at her home and ordered him to stay with his sister or father. On Wednesday, police arrested and kept him in custody after finding him sleeping at his mother’s home. Police informant Constable Sean Matthews told the court that day that when police arrived at the home, a man answering the door was initially reluctant to say whether the accused was in the house. “He said he couldn’t let police enter or he would be in trouble with his wife,” Const
Matthews said. The informant told the court he had warned the mother the day before that there would be a “compliance check” but she had assured him the accused wouldn’t be staying there. The court was told the man allegedly assaulted his mother 12 days beforehand - a statement that caused her to shake her head as she sat in the gallery. The man had been reported for 19 family-violence incidents including threats, assaults and property damage since July 2012, the court was told. “It’s happening so frequently,” Const Matthews said. “(The question is) where does it stop?” The man was also on a 12-month good-behaviour bond at the time. He had been convicted for motor vehicle theft, armed robbery, recklessly causing injury, threats to inflict injury, being armed with a controlled weapon, breaching intervention orders and failing to appear at court. Defence lawyer Despina
Djumas, under instruction from the man’s mother, said the man’s mother - “effectively his full-time carer” - was “happy to have him back in the house” and was intending to build a bungalow for him on-site. “He’s spent some time in Parkville (youth justice centre) in the female section because he’s so vulnerable,” Ms Djumas said. “To be exposed to the prison system is clearly of some concern.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said the case was difficult but “it’s about the risk to this family”. Mr Vandersteen said he needed to remand the man in custody until he heard from the man’s father and sister - who weren’t in court at the time. “This is the delicate balance of us trying to protect the victim... it’s her child, his mother.” His mother’s application to vary the intervention order to allow the man to stay with her was not heard. The man was led away into police custody to appear in court the next day.

Booked in to learn NARELLE COULTER EVERY day staff at Dandenong Library greet Afghan refugee Ramazan Ali with smiles and a chorus of friendly hellos. When he arrived in Australia two years ago Ramazan had no idea what a library was. In his native Aghanistan books are only bought at bookshops, not borrowed free of charge from public institutions. So enamoured is he with the concept of a library, that Ramazan visits the Civic Square building every day to take English classes, meet friends and study. “Like smokers have to go outside to smoke because they are addicted. I am like that too. “I am addicted to the library,“ Ramazan told the Journal through an interpreter. “When I came here I had no idea what the rules of a library were. Friends told me I had to get a library card first and then I could take books home with me.” True to form Ramazan was at the library on Saturday enjoying the free festivities held to mark the library’s first anniversary. Ramazan is not the only one who finds Dandenong’s light, bright, modern library something of a home away from home. In the past year 875,328 people walked through its doors and membership rose from 66,000 to 73,000 across the library service. The high-tech library now attracts 9000 computer bookings a month compared with 2000 bookings per month at the old Stuart Street library and the number of WiFi bookings has risen from 2500 per

month to an average of more than 20,000 per month. When he arrives at the library each day (yes, even on weekends) Ramazan heads straight upstairs to the second floor to the shelf stocking language and skills books. The library doesn’t stock any books in his native Hazaraghi but he is content with the brightly illustrated books designed to teach adults the fundamentals of English.
Ramazan is determined to master English. With only rudimentary education as a child at his family’s mosque, learning a new language is a mighty effort for the 44-year-old. “Next year if I meet you I won’t need a translator. We will be able to have a conversation,“ he promises. In Afghanistan Ramazan repaired and sold second-hand cars and also moonlighted as a taxi driver. A frightening brush with the

There’ll be space for about 200,000 items to cater for a five per cent growth in the collection each year. The historical societies each have thousands of documents and artefacts and the council has more than 10,000 items in its civic collection. Dandenong and District Historical Society president Chris Keys said the move was “very exciting for us” and a great step forward for the retaining the city’s history. “It means that people can go and have a look and feel like they belong,” she said. “I think it’s very important for people to belong to where they live and I don’t think you can do that unless you know the history of the place where you lived.” Ms Keys said the collaboration included a scanner and someone to complete archive work. “We’ve been plodding along in three locations with three different collections in varying places,” she said. “We’re absolutely up to pussy’s bow in terms of taking stuff in here. “The civic collection, that is absolutely up to pussy’s bow as well.” Springvale and District Historical Society president Colin Robinson said the project was “something that’s got to happen, that’s for sure”. “We’ve got to work together. It is all the City of Greater Dandenong so we’ve got to work together and have a place where we can keep all the archives together,” he said. The three groups will sign a memorandum of understanding to finalise the deal at Heritage Hill Museum and Historical Gardens in Dandenong on 1 April. Councillor Matthew Kirwan initiated the archive concept with unanimous support from his colleagues in March 2013. “Our historical societies do amazing work,” he said. – Casey Neill

Taliban on a country road one day left him in no doubt that he had to leave his family and friends and flee for his life. Two Taliban insurgents accused him of carrying ammunition and weapons for government soldiers. While their backs were turned, Ramazan decided to run for his life - literally. He knew fellow taxi drivers who had been tortured for days before being murdered. Ramazan figured he would rather risk being shot in the back as he ran than put his fate in the hands of the Taliban. He fled and didn’t stop running until he was smuggled onto a boat bound for Australia. He is now awaiting word on permanent residency. He said he was grateful for the kindness shown by library staff. “The people here at the library are very nice. I like their manners, their kindness. I very much like that. They are happy and smile when I need help.” As well as English, Ramazan is also learning to navigate a computer, a device he had never seen before arriving in Australia. The difference between Afghanistan and Australia he said, gesturing from floor to ceiling, was like the difference between the “earth and the sky”. “The people of Australia are very nice. It is very safe and the laws here are good laws. “I hope I get accepted. I am very happy with everything here.” See next week’s Journal for coverage of Saturday’s anniversary celebrations at the library.

Park’s future in doubt By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CENTRAL Dandenong’s social soccer hub Pop-Up Park has an uncertain future despite its heady popularity with young people. The park’s artificial soccer court and raised vegie garden were envisaged as temporary when the park opened in 2011. Though in some disrepair, the park has blossomed into a vital youth hub that would be a shame to lose, say some of its regular users. Situated opposite Dandenong railway station, the park has outlasted its expected lifetime of between one and three years. Centre for Multicultural Youth organises soccer games that attract up to 70 players - ranging from teens to thirtysomethings - two evenings a week. Recently unemployed player Abdul says the park is in the “best spot in central Dandenong”. “I come here just to have fun and get stuff off my mind.” Fellow player John Langalanga said he had rarely played in any other place for the past four years but for basketball at Hem-
Placid Jayasuriya, Indhis, Junior Meto, Abdu Mohamed, John Langalanga and Khalil Sallal Picture: ROB CAREW enjoy social soccer at Pop Up Park, Dandenong. 136355 mings Park. “It’s multicultural. You get to learn a new language, learn a new culture.” The soccer ‘coach’ and facilitator Junior Meto brings in music speakers and pumps up a vibrant, safe atmosphere for players and non-players.
Mr Meto said soccer was an ice-breaker, a safe place where young people could put aside their troubles and have fun. It was an opportunity to point some disengaged youth - addled with childhood traumas, disadvantage, and drug and alcohol is-
sues - into counselling, training and employment services. “It would be sad to take this place out,” Mr Meto said. CMY project manager Placid Jayasuriya said it had been a place for youngsters of a wide range of nationalities to develop
leadership skills and respect for one another. Some of the older players, such as a recent law graduate, are role-models on and off the pitch. Its soccer games started as a program for unaccompanied minors but it had opened up - partly because the park was “such a great place”. “It’s one of the few places in Melbourne where you have a proper soccer court available for free.” Mr Jayasuriya said there was enough demand to run youth projects at the park five days a week if the CMY had enough funding. Greater Dandenong Council runs the park on behalf of owner Places Victoria. The council’s Greater Dandenong Business group manager Paul Kearsley said the park was “testament to the benefits it has provided to the local community”. He said it would remain available while funding was available or until it was developed. After then the council hoped to find another site for a similar project.
Police cautiously welcome fall in family violence figures GREATER Dandenong has bucked the state’s soaring rate of reported family violence, according to a Crime Statistics Agency report released last week. In 2014, there were 2095 reported family incidents to Greater Dandenong police - down from 2250 the previous year.
Statewide, the number of incidents rose by 8.2 per cent. The local result also breaks a rising trend in Greater Dandenong over the previous four years. Greater Dandenong police’s local area commander Inspector Bruce Kitchen said the munici-
pality was one of just two in the state that had defied the continuing rise. “I’m mindful, though, that there is still a lot of under-reporting among our multicultural community.” He said the result was aided by the targeting of recidivist
family-violence offenders - an approach now being mimicked by other policing areas in Victoria. “We’re also concentrating on repeat victims, making sure they get appropriate refferals to services such as refuges and counselling.”
Over the same period, the rate of thefts of motor vehicles rose by 25 per cent in Greater Dandenong. Inspector Kitchen said the rise was largely due to several “recidivist groups” operating last year. The rate had also come off a low base in 2013, he said.

NEW HOMES & LAND
STYLISH DESIGN FOR THE DISCERNING STARTING at only $188,990 for 25.99 squares, The Bracken ticks all the must-have boxes when it comes to a smart family home. Red Bluff Homes has designed The Bracken with discerning first home buyers or retirees in mind. The spacious and modern design offers a layout that flows smoothly from the smart entrance through to the fantastic outdoor living area at the opposite end of the home. In between is a master suite complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, a theatre room, three additional bedrooms, a separate laundry, kitchen and large open plan meals/family area. Flexibility is the cornerstone of The Bracken’s thoughtful design.
The team at Red Bluff Homes knows that each family is different and that when it comes to utilising space, choice and flexibility are essential. With this in mind, The Bracken can easily be converted to a four bedroom home by utilising the spacious retreat which is adjacent to the master suite. Alternatively, the retreat can be used as a study, which is perfect for anyone running a home business, or incorporated into the master suite creating a luxurious private oasis for busy parents. The kitchen is stylish and functional with a walk-in pantry, eye-catching stone benchtops and 900mm stainless steel appliances. The kitchen looks out over the open-
plan meals/ family area to the huge covered deck at the rear. The impressive entertaining area is perfect for barbecues and parties and also provides a sheltered outdoor play space for children. Sliding doors off the family/meals area create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Carpet and tiles are standard inclusions throughout The Bracken, as is the use of low maintenance Colorbond on the roof, guttering and downpipes. To truly appreciate The Bracken visit the display at 122 Jackson Drive, Drouin. For further details contact Peter Konjevic on 0418 515 755.

Step up to our award winning Milan, * voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014. The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000. It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features. The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.
“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges
You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes. The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”. The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area. Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

Trying to lick Farsi By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE phrase “learning a new tongue” couldn’t be more apt for staff at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre office in Dandenong. In a reversal of roles, ASRC client and asylum seeker ‘Asal’ (whose identity can’t be revealed) holds centre-stage as the teacher in the training room. Scrawling elegant Farsi lettering on the whiteboard, she prompts staff and volunteers how to speak a language totally alien to her students by sound and sight. Training co-ordinator Linda Perugini enjoys the challenge of these weekly classes, as she tries to master her mimicry of the Farsi alphabet. “Visually it’s completely different to the English alphabet,” Ms Perugini said. “At first I think we were all ready to give up, but our teacher is doing an amazing job of breaking everything down and making it feel achievable.” Asal - who isn’t a trained teacher - has also found it difficult to lead the class and translate her language
into English. Advice from teacher friends in Iran has helped. “For me I get a good satisfaction,” she said. Out of the dual struggle has come a “lovely sense of equality”, said Ms Perugini. “We have now both had a turn at being the student and the teacher. “I hope that Asal is gaining confidence through teaching the class, and realising her potential.” Staff hope their new-found Farsi skills will help them communicate with some of their clients. Another of the fledgling students is ASRC social enterprise development manager Ash Nugent. Although he stumbles through pronouncing “lots of ‘kh’, ‘gh’ and rolled ‘r’s”, he has a new appreciation for how much his clients have to absorb when they learn English. “The clients see the staff practising their pronunciation of words and it gives them a good laugh,” he said. “It really helps them to see us in a different light, and I mean that in a very positive sense.”

Attorney-General backs call to expand drug court STATE Attorney-General Martin Pakula has thrown his support behind the lauded Dandenong Drug Court. Mr Pakula said he was looking forward to working with the magistrates’ court to “further develop the Victorian Drug Court model”. “We will continue to examine ways to expand the reach of court-based sup-
port and specialist programs to make their successful elements more widely available.” His comments come after the drug court’s magistrate Tony Parsons recently repeated his call for expanding the program, which has run only in Dandenong for 13 years. “There is a massive sav-
The voice of the community since 1865 Incorporating Star Greater Dandenong
ing to the taxpayer,” Mr Parsons said. “It’s a significantly effective program in terms of the recovery of people with entrenched drug addictions and relieves the burden of crime on the community in a very significant way.” The court uses a carrotand-stick approach - an intensive two-year regime
of constant reporting to Mr Parsons, urine-testing, rehabilitation, housing, vocational and welfare support coupled with the dangling threat of jail. Earlier this month an independent report found a drug court cohort was significantly less likely to offend than a control group of prisoners.
The cost of the court’s drug treatment orders (DTOs) is $70 a day per offender, compared to $270 a day for jail prisoners. The report also found the DTO cohort had a 90 per cent reduction in trafficking offences compared to an increase for the incarcerated group. - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

World’s blaze of colours STRIKING colourful costumes from across the globe flooded the Dandenong Civic Square last week. Springvale Neighbourhood House and City of Greater Dandenong held an international dress parade on Wednesday 18 March as part of Cultural Diversity Week. It showcased traditional and contemporary clothes from the municipality’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Organisers said they hoped to expand the event next year and perhaps include international cuisines. For more Harmony Day coverage turn to page 50.

Shape up to bullying By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park students took a stand against bullying and violence last week in the shape of Australia. They stood side by side on Friday 20 March to form the country’s outline and spelled out the slogan We Are One inside. “We are so very proud of our work today, and the school community support of the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence,” Noble Park Secondary College teacher Jennelle Little said. “This slogan is significant to the college and is used at the annual celebration of our diversity at our multicultural celebrations held in May.” Ms Little said the school had focused on antibullying in the lead-up to the event. All year 7, 8 and 9 students attended a Brainstorm Productions play and followed up with weekly lessons. “All year levels also have participated in a session on bullying and cyber safety with our police youth liaison officers,” Ms Little said.

Awards go out on a high By CASEY NEILL

NEXT year’s gala dinner will mark the 25th year of the Premier Regional Business Awards - and its last. Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce held a 250-head event to hand out the 2014 awards last Wednesday 18 March. Awards chairman James Sturgess announced that breakfasts held throughout the year ahead would celebrate Dandenong and what the awards had achieved, instead of announcing award nominees. “I think the awards have served
their purpose and there’s other ways that we still need to promote and highlight businesses in this region,” he said. “This program that will run this year will be about the Premier Regional Business Awards. “We will still introduce new businesses, but it will be looking back rather than looking forward.” Mr Sturgess, who’s been involved with the awards since their inception, is aiming for a 500-plus gathering in early 2016 to wrap up the anniversary year. “After 20 years we did a best of
the best, and so after 25 years having a best of the best seemed a bit too soon,” he said. “We might have to look at a different venue. We went to Crown Casino for our 20th. Anything’s possible.” The chamber will continue its breakfast program in 2016 with a highlight on guest speakers and networking, and minus the awards component. “We will still profile regional businesses,” Mr Sturgess said. “But at this stage it’s not planned to have those as part of an awards
program with a gala dinner at the end. “We’ll still find a way to talk about what’s happening next. “We pour a lot of money into the gala dinner each year, and it’s sort of redirecting that into the breakfast program. “I think there’ll be things that happen that will fill that void. “I would love the 25th anniversary of the awards to be a catalyst for what happens next.” The first chamber breakfast for the year will be held at Sandown Greyhounds on 18 May.
Food set to grow the economy By CASEY NEILL

Tip Top is tapping into laptops A DANDENONG manufacturer is helping Lyndale Secondary College students to reach their full potential. Tip Top donated 22 refurbished laptops to the Dandenong North school through parent company George Western Foods’ (GWF) partnership with The Smith Family. GWF CEO Andrew Reeves said the donation
was part of the company’s Caring Everyday community program. “We are also able to offer Lyndale students a number of opportunities to help prepare them for the world of work, including career days and mentoring throughout the year,” he said. Lyndale already partners closely with The Smith Family to offer stu-
dents in need opportunities to reach their full potential through education. The computers will be made available to families experiencing financial hardship who are assisted by the Lyndale Welfare Program. Eligible parents can borrow otherwise prohibitively expensive text books, calculators and laptops.
“The laptop donation will ensure Lyndale students can access computers to enhance their range of learning opportunities and increase their engagement with their schooling,” The Smith Family CEO Dr Lisa O’Brien said. GWF will donate 80 refurbished laptops to four schools in Victoria and western Sydney.
FOOD is in focus as a key driver for Greater Dandenong’s economy. Councillors approved the Greater Dandenong Regional Food Strategy and Action Plan 2015-2018 at their 10 March meeting. It aims to use food to grow the local economy and outlines a plan to do so. Greater Dandenong business group manager Paul Kearsley said the food strategy had three main pillars. “The first is the relationship between food processors and manufacturers and the primary producers in Gippsland and country Victoria,” he said. “How do we improve connections? “It’s a relationship that we need to continue to grow.” Mr Kearsley said the strategy involved putting the two arms in touch and working together to take opportunities overseas. The strategy recommended forming a Greater Dandenong food consortium of manufacturers. The second pillar was building on the success of Dandenong Market, the Dandenong World Fare, Afghan Bazaar, Little India and Sensational Springvale to make Greater Dandenong the south-east food capital. “There’s so many opportunities for us to be promoting dining,” Mr Kearsley said. A food website, banners and other
Company goes on a journey around the world VENTURA put Cultural Diversity Week in the spotlight last Friday - and on a plate. The Dandenong company printed posters bearing flags for each of the 40 cultures its workers represent and the words ‘We are Ventura’ in languages from around the world. “One of the things that makes Ventura such a special place to work is the diverse culture of our employees and this was a great opportunity to share some wonderful food from various countries,” spokeswoman Sarah O’Connor said. Workers brought a plate of food to represent their heritage to the 20 March event, with the menu including Croatian spinach and feta pita, Indian dokhla and samosa, Portuguese custard tarts, Lebanese za’atar and felafel, Greek semolina cake and Aussie Anzac biscuits and meat pies. “It’s something that we’ll look at doing every year,” Ms O’Connor said.

promotional material are part of the plan. Mr Kearsley said the third pillar was about linking the community to fresh, local produce. Research found that Greater Dandenong had several ‘food deserts’ or areas where residents couldn’t easily access fresh produce. “In these areas, takeaway food becomes more popular,” Mr Kearsley said. He said the council was looking into mini farms in the Bangholme green wedge area and the concept was popular in Europe and the US. The Dandenong Urban Food Garden is another part of the plan and could be set up on the Thomas Street and Halpin Way corner by mid-year. It would be used to educate people about growing and harvesting vegetables, herbs and other edible plants. The council has sent letters to businesses to assess interest in participation and sponsorship. Charity 3000 Acres will help the council to manage the plot which could fit up to 60 portable garden beds. Mr Kearsley said it was likely to start with 20 or so depending on demand, and would receive council and Places Victoria support. “It will be a truly community-generated project,” he said. Call Russel Tait on 8571 1000 or email rtait@cgd.vic.gov.au to get involved in the Dandenong Urban Food Garden.

Stolen ute torched by thieves
ART celebrated creativity and highlighted diversity at St John’s Regional College last week. The Dandenong school held a week-long arts festival in the lead-up to Harmony Day on 21 March. The event started with an arts-inspired college assembly featuring a Year 9 drum performance, Year 12 bands and the announcement of the 2014 Brother Amedy Molloy Arts Prize. The prize was named for the school’s founding principal and is each year awarded to a Year 12 student who is studying visual arts, media or visual communication. The winning work - this year a photograph by Ronica Marinas - becomes part of the St John’s Regional College Arts Collection and the artist receives $200 in prize money. Students performed on an open air stage each lunch break during the arts festival and Year 11 VCAL students held a barbecue during Thursday’s performance to raise money for Make-AWish Australia. Year 9 student Svetlana Brillantes worked on a mural throughout the week after pipping her peers to win a harmony-themed design competition. St John’s hopes to make the arts festival an annual event.
THIEVES torched a stolen ute on a Springvale roadside in daylight. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said witnesses reported a green Holden Rodeo ute parking on Newcomen Road about 2pm on 13 March. He said two people got out of the vehicle and set it on fire while the engine was still running. They ran away and the Springvale CFA attended and extinguished the fire. Fire crews found a fuel can on the ute’s back seat. Sen Const Lavars said the ute’s owner called about an hour later to report it stolen from Noble Park. He urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

On board for health bus By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS NATURALLY there’s always a fair bit of ‘chewing the fat’ at a sausage sizzle. Last Monday, long lines of people hovered at Beyondblue’s Big Blue Bus with a big hot barbie cooking up 40 kilos of snags in Dandenong’s civic plaza. It was part of a national roadshow travelling more than 45,000 kilometres with staff and information brochures helping people to broach their troubles - depression, anxiety, suicide and bereavement. The bus’s driver Peter Kindermann, of Mt Martha, has been there from the start. He offered his 1980 Bedford after hearing Beyondblue chairman Jeff Kennett talk about the need to reach out to rural communities. “From what I’ve seen, people just want a safe person to talk to,” the former industrialintegrator said.
Staffer David Surtees said he was surprised how younger people - lured by the 3rd Noble Park Scouts’ sausage sizzle as well as the youth mental-health network ‘headspace’ brochures - opened up about their mental health. “It’s been really encouraging,” Mr Surtees said. There were a range of clever, targeted ice-breakers on the pamphlet stand - ‘man therapy’ drink coasters, self-assembly Big Blue Bus money boxes for kids and a mailbox for people to post their confidential mentalhealth pledges. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams told the Journal she’d made a pledge to get five hours sleep at night. The Journal’s bitterly cynical correspondent pledged to smile more often. The pledges will be returned to their senders in 12 months’ time.
There were some brochures on how to set the scene and mood to tackle potentially awkward conversations with sufferers. Others dug around for depression and anxiety material for their parents whose social networks had dwindled as they aged. A booklet was sassily titled Over Bloody 80. There’s also information on how to help a friend who’s “not OK”, for parents to help their kids, and for those bereaved by suicide. Project manager Sarah Hayes said mental health problems were on the rise, but so was awareness. “The thing people need most is someone to listen to them - a conversation. “They just want to let it out,” Surtees said. Beyondblue has a 24/7 hotline 1300 33 46 36 and online support at beyondblue.org.au.
