Smith looks safe By JESSE GRAHAM
Tony Smith checked in on his team, including John Hoiles, at Wandin Yallock. 156315 Sporting clubs could also benefit, with hundreds of thousands in funding pledged by Mr Smith for netball lighting and courts in Montrose, Healesville and Coldstream. Regardless of the winner, new phone towers will be built in Chum Creek, Reefton, Kalorama and Mount Evelyn, with both parties pledging support for addressing mobile phone black spots. Monbulk Recreation Reserve would receive $600,000 from the Coalition or $750,000 from Labor, adding funding

Saturday that he believed the Coalition would win enough seats to form government. On election day, Mr Melkonian said that he felt the seat had been forgotten, as it was a safely-held Liberal seat. However, he said the Yarra Valley would benefit from the seat being more marginal. In first-preference votes, Mr Smith received 49 per cent of the vote outright, while Mr Melkonian received 29.27 per cent; The Greens’ Dr Elissa
Sutherland received 11.65 per cent, while Animal Justice Party candidate Kristin Bacon received 4.3 per cent. Independent Peter Charleton received three per cent of the vote, while Rise Up Australia Party candidate Angela Dorian received 2.65 per cent. Almost four per cent of the vote so far - some 2952 ballot papers - was recorded as informal. Mr Melkonian was contacted for comment, but did not respond by deadline.

towards a $2.5 million upgrade for the area to build upgraded changerooms, a gym and canteen, among other improvements. If Labor wins, the Eastern Legal Community Centre will receive $450,000 in funding over three years, as part of a $43 million initiative for legal services working with family violence survivors. Mr Smith said the national result was “very close”, but that he concurred with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said in a late-night speech on

TONY Smith looks set to be re-elected to the seat of Casey, with the national result of the federal election still too close to call. As of 9am on Monday, 4 July, Mr Smith had 55.27 per cent of the vote after preferences, with Labor’s candidate Hovig Melkonian receiving 44.73 per cent, with 77.7 per cent of votes counted. Fewer than 8000 votes separated the two candidates. Federally, the election result is still too close to call, with uncertainty about which party will come out on top - the Australian Electoral Commission reports the ALP as ahead with 69 seats, while the LNP trails with 64. Six seats have been won by the Greens, independents or minor parties, with 11 seats undecided or too close to call. Mr Smith told the Mail on Sunday morning that he was “humbled” by the result from the campaign, and expected his numbers to be strengthened by postal votes during the week. “I’d like to thank the local community for their continuing support and faith in me,” he said. “It’s hard to speculate when you’re the candidate, but what I would say is that I worked very hard to articulate the national plan, as well as a very considered and fully-funded local plan, and that will deliver benefits directly to our local community.” “And I think that, now we’ve got to the end of the campaign, when you look at the policy pledges I made, they were certainly more comprehensive than any of the other candidates, in terms of putting forward a local plan.” The AEC announced over the weekend it would be spending Sunday sorting absent, interstate, postal and other votes to be packaged and sent to their home division, with counting to resume on Tuesday. If the Coalition wins nationally, Liberal-pledged CCTV cameras will be funded for Yarra Glen, Woori Yallock, Mount Evelyn and Monbulk.

COMMUNITY groups across Casey used the 2 July election as a chance to fund-raise for different projects, running sausage sizzles and cake stalls at polling places from opening at 8am on Saturday morning and running into the afternoon. At the Healesville High School polling place, the Support the Healesville Indoor Pool (SHIP) group held a barbecue, a cake stall and a garage sale to raise money for repairs at the pool. At Badger Creek Primary School, Badger Creek CFA sold sausages to raise money for the school and the brigade; while the Rotary Club of Healesville ran a barbecue at the Healesville Senior Citizens Centre to raise money for its Milking Cow and Goat Project in Kenya. In Launching Place, first-time voter Aylah Hannon said she had asked her mum for advice on who she should vote for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look up to my mum and she is someone who I believe would want whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for my country,â&#x20AC;? she said. At polling places on both sides of the Yarra Valley, there were a high number of people not taking howto-vote flyers. CFA volunteers from the Maroondah Group staged a protest against the recent enterprise bargaining agreement that is being disputed between volunteers, the Victorian Government and the United Firefighters Union. Brigades from Healesville, Yarra Glen, Mount Evelyn, Lilydale and Warrandyte drove from Warrandyte from 9am to Healesville in the early afternoon.

Tower power prevails By KATH GANNAWAY YARRA Ranges Council has approved construction of an Optus telecommunications tower at the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve. The proposal raised the ire of some Yarra Junction residents when it was first proposed in October last year with concerns voiced about the negative visual impact and health risks around radio emissions, as well as a lack of consultation. An information evening in March resulted in Optus changing the location to a new site behind the bowling club on the basis it would minimise the visual intrusion. Six of the seven councillors present at the Tuesday 28 June council meeting voted in line with the Planning Department recommendation to approve the planning application. Peter Ferguson and Alex Maurici are among 45 sole objectors, supported by three petitions including one containing 239 signatures. They spoke against the proposal, saying the 42 metre tower was at odds with a significant landscape overlay of the planning scheme and that the adverse visual effect would be ‘immense’. Mr Ferguson labelled the tower an ‘eye-sore’ and said it was a possible foot in the door for further expansion.
The initial sign of a tower to come. 156294 He told the councillors that many parents were concerned about adverse health effects, and questioned the veracity of the use of a World Health Organisation (2006) article put forward by Optus at the March meeting. Mr Maurici said the selection of the site was about money and not coverage, and proposed the RSL site further out of the town, which already has a tower, as
Picture: KATH GANNAWAY
the best option. David Hodgkinson, representing Optus spoke of the need to balance competing needs. “We go through a cautionary approach, select sites away from sensitive uses,” he said. “It’s a balancing act; we need to line up a willing land-owner, planning, con-
struction and coverage,” he said. He said other sites were considered, including the RSL site, and were not adequate to provide coverage. He added that electro magnetic energy (EME) was not a planning consideration, but said Optus equipment complied with strict regulation. Cr Jim Child proposed the approval motion, saying it wasn’t an easy decision. “We have to achieve a balance; we can’t just say we don’t like these towers,” he said. He spoke of the Upper Yarra’s status as the most dangerous region in Victoria in terms of bushfire risk and said it should be a priority to provide digital communication to disaster-prone areas. His safety first message was supported by councillors Avery, Callanan, McCarthy and Witlox who said telecommunication was paramount for community safety. “When you are in a blackspot, you are in the dark ages,” Cr Avery said. Cr Mike Clarke was a dissenting vote, saying more work should be done to look at the RSL site as an alternative. “I certainly promote the need for mobile coverage and competition and providing service for bushfire safety,” he said. “I just can’t see or hear any justification as to why they can’t use the (existing) RSL facility.”
Cash back YARRA Junction Police are keen to hear from the owner of cash handed into the station recently. Senior Constable Ray Cook described the amount as ‘substantial’ and said it would have been lost within the last fortnight or so. A check of banks and other police stations has failed to give a clue to the owner, so they are now calling on anyone who may have lost a sum of money in the Yarra Junction area, and can provide identifying information, to contact them on 5967 1104. If the station is unattended, a name and contact number can be left for police to follow up. Sen Const Cook said there are still a lot of honest people out there, including the person who came across this money and handed it in. “We get lots of purses and wallets handed in with cash and cards still intact,” he said.
Big plans for small towns By KATH GANNAWAY
Held Ben’s Shed together By KATH GANNAWAY TRIBUTES have poured into the Ben’s Shed Facebook page saluting and mourning the death of president, Bob Finch. Bob, or ‘Bobby’ as he was affectionately known, died suddenly at 73 on Saturday, 2 July, after a short bout of pneumonia. He was a founding member of Ben’s Shed in Yarra Junction and the glue which held it together over the years. Among the tributes was one from past Ben’s Shed President, Leigh Hardy who described Bob as a ‘local icon'. “Ben’s Shed will be the poorer without Bob,” he said. “Always seen around town in his motorised chair, often outside Ben’s
Shed or the shopping centre. It was always best to step clear when Bob had the throttle open.” “Miss seeing you outside Ben's Shed” summed up the feelings of most contributors who spoke of his friendly and generous nature, his laugh and his smile, enthusiasm, and recognition of him as “a great Aussie battler”. His daughter, Anni Finch, said her dad was “... a man who was always up for a chat and a laugh, always willing to help others, loved his family and valued his friendships he made across this valley over the last 20-odd years, and a lot of lifelong ties as well.” A service to celebrate Bob’s life will be held at Heritage Funerals in Woori Yallock on Tuesday, 12 July, at 11am.

of emergency issues, broader use of the local hall for young people and a plan and start to building a heritage trail. The launch of the Timber Town Heritage Trail was a highlight of the day that included free films and activities for children, entertainment and a community afternoon tea. “Today really marks the beginning of many things to come,” Ms Mallamaci said, flagging a bigger vision for the creation of a rail trail between Yarra Junction and Noojee. Developing tourism is just one of the themes and the information boards, produced by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DEWLP) Forest Management Team at Powelltown bring the history to life.

sion for the future. Ms Mallamaci said more than 400 ideas had been collected through several workshops, events and surveys across all ages with around 20 per cent of the population responding. The ideas have been grouped and prioritised with projects and actions identified under five themes. “The appealing thing for me about community planning was that it provided a way to connect the hard-working efforts of a number of groups and volunteers for greater co-ordination and synergy,” she said. Projects that have already been started are a facebook page and logo competition, identification of transport possibilities, greater advocacy and awareness

IT’S official - size really doesn’t matter. Powelltown, Gilderoy and Three Bridges may have less than 500 people between them, but at the launch of the Little Yarra Valley (PG&3B) Community Plan on 28 June, they demonstrated that they took on board the words, two years ago, of community planning guru, Peter Kenyon. Little Yarra Community Planning Group member, Kym Mallamaci, said his messages to the community at one of the first workshops struck a chord. She quoted him; “Small communities won’t be saved by the cavalry coming over the hill ... if we want to keep what we love, or build what we need, it’s up to us ... and size really doesn’t matter”. Ms Mallamaci was talking to more than 50 community members and invited dignitaries including representatives of State Government, Yarra Ranges Council and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). The Little Yarra Valley PG&3B Community Plan has been a two-year process by the Little Yarra Valley Community Planning Group addressing issues including transport, heritage, tourism, services for children, community safety, business development, and community cohesion. The plan has produced a snapshot of the three communities, looking at the past, present and future and lays out a vi-

Budget meets key challenges From my
desk Jason Callanan
Yarra Ranges mayor/Chandler Ward
YARRA Ranges Council is delivering a focused and innovative budget for 2016-’17 that will continue to meet the community’s needs and ensure the long-term sustainability of community resources. We understand the growing financial pres-
sures residents are facing, which is why we are continuing our journey to secure savings while meeting the State Government’s 2.5 per cent rate cap. Council has dedicated $38.4 million in new capital works and infrastructure projects, including road upgrades, improvements and vital services. We are proud of this budget and the way in which council has addressed key challenges to achieve its vision of creating a better future for Yarra Ranges. Council plans to commit to the rate-capping policy for the life of the Long Term Financial
Plan, 2016-’17 to 2025-’26. However, this will depend on the percentage of the State Government’s set rate cap each year. Some residents may notice an increase to their rates that is greater than 2.5 per cent as a result of 2016-’17 being a revaluation year. This may be the case if your property value has increased by more than the average from across the municipality. Council also offers a range of flexible rates payment options to help ease any financial stress. I’m delighted that this year residents will have the chance to be rewarded for paying their rates early and in full by 30 September 2016.
Residents will have the chance at winning a scenic hot-air balloon ride over the Yarra Valley, as well as four other wonderful prizes. Rates revenue is crucial to ensure we can continue to maintain our existing assets, build new community infrastructure and provide the 120plus council community services. Finally, I also encourage all residents to sign up to receive their rates notice electronically. For more information about the 2016-’17 Budget, or to sign up to receive your rates notice electronically, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au.

Report sees wood for trees By JESSE GRAHAM
Victorian Governor Linda Dessau meets Amie Lowther. Amie is non-verbal and Picture: ROB CAREW communicates using a chart. 156197
Service wows State Governor By JESSE GRAHAM LILYDALE’S Melba Support Services was able to showcase its works to Victorian Governor Linda Dessau during a tour of the organisation on Thursday 30 June. Governor Dessau visited Melba on Thursday morning for a morning tea event, with staff and clients presenting the work of the organisation in the community in a tour. CEO Glenn Foard said that representatives of Melba’s selfadvocacy group ARROW (Advocacy, Rights, Representation, Outcomes and Worth) were able to meet Governor Dessau and speak about their work promoting rights for people with disabilities. He said Governor Dessau
also saw the work of Yarra Ranges in a Box, a social enterprise involving people with disabilities packaging and delivering fresh produce for families and schools. Yarra Ranges in a Box, Mr Foard said, delivered more than 750 boxes of fruit and vegetables in 2015. “I think it’s fair to say we wanted to profile all the different things we do as an organisation - all the different services that we provide, and to talk about our mission, to support people to lead everyday lives,” Mr Foard said. “It was basically an opportunity to, in a sense, showcase the work that we do and, importantly, give people we support the opportunity to talk one-on-one with the Governor.
“They were really, really pleased that the Governor took the time to come and visit, and showed the amount of interest she did.” Mr Foard said dignitaries, including Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe, Yarra Ranges mayor Jason Callanan, Parliamentary Secretary for Treasury and Finance Daniel Mulino and Melba’s life-governors, attended the morning tea. Governor Dessau said it was a “pleasure” to visit the organisation at the event. “I know your mission is people leading an everyday life, but listening today, I see that people here lead great lives,” she said. “It has been an honour and a privilege to be here today and see Melba’s work.”
THE government's Forest Industry Taskforce will be considering a recently-released report that claims it costs more than $5 million in investments to create a single native forestry timber job. But logging body VicForests has questioned the report and said it was not contacted by its authors. The confidential report, compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), encourages a “strategic re-think” for the state-owned VicForest, which it says “is not generating an appropriate return” on its objectives, which includes “maximising its contribution” to Victoria’s economy and wellbeing. The report analysed the native forestry industry under VicForests, and said that $5,041,000 in investments in roads and machinery was required for each full-time equivalent (FTE) job in the industry. In the plantation forest industry, this investment cost is dramatically lower per FTE job, with $574,000 in investment needed per job - non-forestry manufacturing costs $272,000 per job. “From a regional development or employment perspective, the higher level of investment required to create one
FTE, suggests that supporting native forestry would be less beneficial than supporting other industries, as it generates lower employment per dollar spent,” the report read. The report also estimates that native forestry delivers three cents directly and 11 cents indirectly in return to Victoria’s Gross State Product (GSP) for each dollar invested - about one-tenth of the return of nonnative forestry. “Our analysis of the native forestry sector has found that the operations currently using that land are not competitive or financially viable,” the report reads. A suggestion is made in the report to increase prices for harvested wood or restructure VicForests’ cost base to improve viability, but it is also noted that timber processing businesses would then bear those costs, leading to closures or job losses in regional communities. VicForests’ General Manager of Stakeholders and Planning Nathan Trushell said the organisation had contacted PwC about the report, and questioned its findings. “The analysis appears to ignore the more than $600 million dollars in revenue generated by primary processing of native timber in Victoria, as well as the thousands of associated jobs that are required for
processing timber after harvesting and haulage operations,” he said. He said VicForests was not contacted by the authors of the report, but “welcomes engagement with PwC, or anyone else, in a productive and collaborative discussion on any of the claims stated.” Mr Trushell said a study by Deloitte Access Economics (DAE), commissioned by VicForests last year, showed the body employed 281 full time staff, with 2117 full-time staff employed within the native timber industry in the Central Highlands. The PwC report states that it was prepared with publicly available material, at the request of a “private charitable trust”. Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum member Steve Meacher said groups advocating for a Great Forest National Park did not fund the report, though it supported its findings. A spokesperson for Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the government’s Forest Industry Taskforce “has a copy of the PwC report and will consider its findings”. The taskforce is currently discussing issues facing the industry, such as job protection and protecting the critically-endangered Leadbeater’s Possum.
Yarra Valley’s Decision: LPG vs Natural Gas Do the math before deciding!
• The cost of converting gas appliances, according to Rinnai, is anywhere from $270 to $345 for EACH appliance. • The natural gas supplier only runs the gas line from the main to the meter - everything after the meter is your responsibility and cost. Your results will vary based on the available tariffs, your gas consumption and your cost to convert. The following web page may assist you in your decision making

• Supply charges vary, with some national supplier tariffs starting ing from around $284 per year before any gas use, and this figure could be higher.

• Natural gas providers charge a daily supply charge, when you u multiply it by 365 days, it becomes a huge annual cost.

Small dream realised ON SUNDAY 15 November, on the last morning of the 2015 Healesville Music Festival, a small dream of ours was realised. 'Soulsville’, a concert of gospel-style music (inspired by a similar show by Paul Kelly and others) was, with encouragement by Reverend Jenny Gordon, performed to an overflowing audience of 280 in Healesville’s Uniting Church. Around 40 local choir members, solo vocalists, band musicians and featured instrumentalists presented songs by well-known contemporary Australian singer-songwriters and classic rhythm and blues artists. Then on 15 May - exactly six months after the first concert - 'Soulsville’ again wowed a capacity audience. This time, with full production and an expanded line-up and repertoire, it was on stage at Healesville’s Memo. We wish to express our appreciation to another supportive Jenny, Yarra Ranges Council’s Regional Arts Co-ordinator Jenny Davies who instigated the re-staging as part of the Performance Platform initiative, and venue manager Andrew Edge as well as every member of the Memo staff who gave us such wonderful assistance in this successful venture. 'Soulsville’ will return during both of this year’s Marysville Blues and Jazz Weekend, and the Healesville Music Festival. In the meantime we urge all Healesville residents and others in the Yarra Valley to enjoy their magnificent Memo with its fascinating program of recent release films, concerts of widely varied music styles (including Healesville Music Festival), plays, art exhibitions and more, all world-class and at very reasonable ticket prices. David Johnston and Catherine Nolan, Healesville.
Failure of planning APPRECIATION must be extended to the Healesville residents, (Yarra Ranges Shire) council and staff who resolutely opposed the planned developments at the sawmill site. They spent many hours critiquing plans, writing submissions, attending meetings

Don't go Green
AVID ‘Mail’ reader Lech Sobecki snapped this amazing image recently during a walk with his wife, Klaudia, near the O’Shannassy aqueduct. 156266 and long hours of VCAT hearings. One can only describe the process as planning by attrition. It was infuriating to be continually reviewing iterations of plans for this development after council had clearly rejected the development several times. Council is now being forced into a solution to avoid a costly and most likely unsuccessful VCAT hearing. The community is clearly a loser in this process. The development will only contribute to sprawl and runs counter to the direction in the draft Healesville Structure Plan which seeks to concentrate development in the town core. This development will adversely affect local cafes and tourism businesses because some visitors will be siphoned off to use convenience shops on the site and not even go into the town when visiting the sanctuary. The hotel development is obtrusive and
I NOTED with concern a letter from Dr Robert Rich a few weeks ago. He stated there are alternatives to the Liberal and Labor parties at the election. He suggested the Greens as an alternative. Unfortunately, the Greens cannot be considered a viable alternative to the major parties. If they were to obtain any semblance of power, our beautiful country would become bankrupt and a third world laughing stock in very short order. Not to mention being over-run by queuejumping illegal immigrants, all living off our taxes. However, there are real alternatives to the Labor and Liberal parties, and these are your independent candidates. Have a look at what they are all about and review their policies. If you like what you see, give them your vote and send a clear message of dissatisfaction to the major parties. Terry Draper, Badger Creek.
What a tidy crew A FEW days ago, I took a group of walkers on the river walk at Warburton, a 10-kilometre stretch from Riverside Drive to East Warburton, back along the north side of the river and through the camping ground. We would like to record our appreciation of the work done by Ted’s River Crew, and to Ben and John, in keeping the area looking so good. The picnic tables had been repaired and were newly painted, the track was cleared and freshly gravelled, and the whole trip was a delight. Thanks, guys, on behalf of the U3A walkers. Janet Sowden, Wesburn.
Healesville Guardian, 4 July 1936 Around the Council Table CR KAY, Chairman of the Parks and Gardens Committee recommended that the Silver poplars in River Street be destroyed with arsenic spray at an approximate cost of 25 pounds. Cr Kay recommended that trees at the tennis courts be taken out as they are old and becoming dangerous. King’s Birthday Observance THE main event at Healesville was a footy match, locals versus Allied Drapers Association. The local team included two former players, A. McLaren and G.

Mothers Club AMONG tables decorated with Icelandic poppies, the Healesville State School ‘Mothers’ Club celebrated its eighth anniversary in St John’s Hall on Tuesday of last week. There was a large assemblage of over 70 ladies many coming from Lilydale, Croydon, Wandin and Montrose clubs. Mrs Raff, an executive officer of the Victorian Federation of Mothers Clubs who was presented with a bouquet of violets, gave an interesting address on the work of mothers clubs in providing school equipment, medical and dental examinations and the Travancore Home for mentally deficient children.
Upper Yarra Mail, 7 July 1994 Winterfest Ball in Warburton THE Warburton Advancement League will be hosting a lavish ‘Winterfest Ball’ at the magnificent Alpine Retreat Hotel this Saturday night at 7pm.

It aims to raise the substantial amount of money needed to buy a Foetal Heart Monitor for the Maternity Ward at the Warburton Hospital.

A Sad Day for Wesburn Primary PRESENT and former Wesburn Primary School students were saddened to wave goodbye to a popular Head Teacher Neil Jorgensen who left the school at the end of term two.

Facelift for tennis club By JESSE GRAHAM
Mates for life By JESSE GRAHAM WHEN you’ve been best friends for 50 years, a few years apart don’t matter all that much. At least, that’s the case for Healesville’s Neil Eldridge and Longwarry’s Ray Arthur, who were reunited by the Healesville RSL on Wednesday 29 June. Mr Eldridge and Mr Arthur, both 71, met up at Healesville’s Aurrum Aged Care, where Mr Eldridge is a resident, after the team at Healesville RSL tracked him down. The two men met 50 years ago when enrolled in the Army, on the way to training for the Vietnam War. Mr Arthur said the two be-
came fast friends, and were stationed together in Vung Tau during the war - after returning home, the pair kept in contact, with Mr Arthur having Mr Eldridge as best man at his wedding. When Mr Eldridge went into care at Aurrum, Healesville RSL assistant manager Suzanne Serra said the RSL looked up Mr Arthur and got in touch. “I found out that he wasn’t well, through Sue, and I decided to hot-foot it over here, because I had no idea,” Mr Arthur said. He said that July marked 50 years to the day since they had met, and that they hadn’t seen each other in about eight years. “We’re best mates - we’ve
been best mates for 50 years,” Mr Arthur said. “We only haven’t been in contact because he’s got his family, and I’ve got my family, and we live so far apart. “We’ll always have the Army and our Army service, and our friendship’s always been there. It’s something where you’re living in each other’s pockets all the time - we might have gone 18 months before we saw each other, or even a couple of years, and then we’d organise to get together and away you go.” After some photos with the Mail, Mr Arthur, Mr Eldridge and his family spent the morning catching up at the aged care centre.

niors to congregate in, feel welcome and have their own space as well,” she said. Mr Barnett said the money came as a result of the hotel’s Friday night raffles, where profits are saved until a $1000 cheque can be given to an organisation or group in the town. The Yarra Glen Primary School, RSL, CFA and Men’s Shed have all been recipients of the funds, with about eight groups benefiting thus far. Mr Barnett said the Yarra Glen and District Historical Society would be the next to receive a donation. The Friday night raffles are held between 6-7pm.

YARRA Glen Tennis Club will be able to fast-track renovations, thanks to community members, following a $1000 donation from their local pub. On Tuesday 28 June, Yarra Glen Grand Hotel owner Craig Barnett visited the club on Anzac Avenue to present a $1000 cheque to Yarra Glen Tennis Club president Norma George. Ms George welcomed the donation, and said the money would assist with renovation works inside the club’s building next to the courts. She said exterior works to the building had been completed by Yarra Ranges Council, but the club was organising the renovations to the interior.
“At the moment, we’re painting, we put the floor down,” Ms George said. “We’ve spent quite a lot of money on this, to be honest, and we’re just trying to get our kitchen facilities and our cupboards. “There’s so much to do around a tennis club, and money’s quite tight, and you’ve got to be careful on how you spend your money - so this will take us to a new level, to get in there and get it done.” When finished, Ms George said the space would be used by players at night tennis games and would be a place for junior players to gather on Saturday mornings. “They can come in, and we can make this an area for the ju-

Gruyere Primary School principal, Michelle Upton, said they started trialing the Lion Tamers Program after engaging FreeForm to do a martial arts program at the school. “The level of engagement and understanding they have about the children and their needs, and how to get the best
out of them is amazing,” Ms Upton said. Gruyere teacher, Emma Braham, said the program was an engaging way for the children to learn about physical education, values and teamwork. Eight schools in the Yarra Valley have signed up to the trail program with the Lion Tamers team donating the program, equipment and time to train the teachers and children. Having successfully completed a number of trials in schools, they now want to make it more widely avail-
able, with an aim of 16 schools by the end of the year. “We are now reaching out to the community through a crowd-funding campaign to seek assistance in funding the completion of the Lion Tamers Program.” The first month of the campaign through GoFundMe has raised $3,675 of the $50,000 goal, and the aim is to have the program funded and delivered by the end of the year. For more information on the Lion Tamers Program, or to donate, visit www.gofundme.com/schoolrevolution.

New name befitting upgraded hospital EASTERN Health is asking for suggestions to rename Healesville’s hospital, in time for the site’s opening early next year. The organisation announced on 28 June that it was seeking submissions for a new name for the Healesville and District Hospital and Yarra Valley Community Health sites, which are currently undergoing a multi-million dollar redevelopment. Yarra Ranges acting chief of Clinical and Site Operations Paul Leyden said that Eastern Health staff and community members would be able to put forward their ideas that best represented the “future opportunities” that the redevelopment would bring. “During the redevelopment process, staff and the community have
asked Eastern Health whether this would be an opportunity to develop a name that best represents the future of the site,” he said. “We would now like to offer them an opportunity to have their say.” Mr Leyden said the Eastern Health board and Health Minister Jill Hennessy would have the final sign-off on the proposed new name. Ideas can be put forward at www. easternhealth.org.au until 10 July, and Eastern Health will be running face-to-face interviews in Healesville and its surrounds in coming weeks. Mr Leyden said the construction work was “progressing well”, with the site set to open in early 2017.

A HEALESVILLE father and daughter martial arts team are reaching out through crowd funding to finance a program designed especially for schools. The Lion Tamers Program is based on the teaching and philosophies of FreeForm Martial Arts, founded by Stephen Sonsie over 40 years ago. Daughter, and Lion Tamers Program Manager, Nicole Kirby, followed in her father’s footsteps teaching martial arts and fitness to schools and corporate and sporting bodies in Australia and overseas. The third member of the team is qualified teacher, Rachel Arnold who is working on ensuring the program fits the school curriculum. Ms Kirby said the need for a program that fostered an understanding in each child of their own value and worth was based on their work with children over the years. Gruyere Primary School is trialling the program which is designed to support teachers to independently present the program in the classroom. Ms Kirby said the program aims to foster strength in students to be able to stand up, speak up and step forward

Packed out with jazz By JESSE GRAHAM MUSIC lovers are expected to descend on Marysville in October, with more than 100 performers aiming to turn the second annual Jazz and Blues Festival into a not-to-miss event. From Friday 14 to Sunday 16 October, musicians will perform in venues and in the streets around Marysville for the Jazz and Blues Festival, after an opening evening at the Vibe Hotel. Festival director Peter Guest said the aim of the festival was to give people a “whole weekend experience”, drawing visitors from Melbourne and Marysville’s surrounds to see everything the town had to offer. “What we tried to create is, in town, an opportunity for people to experience the township and the recovery since the bushfires, and just to soak up the atmosphere,” he said. “We have buskers in the street, a lot of free entertainment, and paid artists - people can wander up and down the street, enjoy a cup of cof-

Ticketed performances will be held at the Vibe Hotel, the Crossways Historic Country Inn and the Marysville Community Centre, while free events will be held in Settlers Park and in cafes in town. At noon on Saturday 15 October,
a New Orleans-style street parade will be held in Murchison Street to commemorate the festival. Musicians Bev and Leigh Fraser, who will be performing at the festival, said that free workshops would be held with some artists at Little Fishes Studio - though bookings were essential. Mr Guest said he hoped the festival would bring 1000 people to the town, and would establish the festival as an annual drawcard. The official festival launch will be held from 7pm on Saturday 9 July at the Narbethong Hall, where Bev and Leigh Fraser will perform. The programme will be launched, and a screening of the Blues Brothers will be held. Entry is $15 per person if reserved ahead of time or $20 on the night. Call 0477 123 506 to book. Passes to the festival are $50 for one day, $75 for two days or $95 for all three days. To book, visit www.marysvillejazzandblues.com.
Joining hands for better Indigenous service KATH GANNAWAY

A PARTNERSHIP of two family violence services is set to provide improved services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) women in Yarra Ranges. Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS) and Boorndawan William Aboriginal Healing Service (BWAHS) will provide an integrated, family violence response for the ATSI community in Melbourne’s east. The renewed partnership will be officially launched on Wednesday 6
July, at Boorndawan in Lilydale EDVOS CEO Jenny Jackson made the announcement in the leadup to NAIDOC (National Aborginal and Islanders Day Observation Committee) Week, saying both organisations share a renewed and timely vision to enhance regional support for ATSI women experiencing family violence. “EDVOS will work with BWAHS to close the gap by offering a number of services not currently within their organisation. This includes access to flexible family violence support packages, along with
an integrated suite of services such as housing, counselling and legal support,” Ms Jackson said. BWAHS manager Rose Solomon, said many Aboriginal families who sought support from the service were in a family violence crisis situation and required urgent assistance. The partnership provides choice for women seeking help. Ms Solomon said BWAHS did a comprehensive risk assessment and, for some women who elect not to use an Aboriginal-specific service, work with EDVOS to access the best services.
“Women need to feel safe and choice plays a big part,” she said. “ATSI communities are closely connected, and some women may prefer not to use our service. “In this case, EDVOS has expert capacity and can provide access to a mainstream service,” she said. BWAHS and EDVOS have extended an invitation to interested people to mark the partnership during NAIDOC week with a gathering from 10am to noon at Lilydale. To register, contact Sandy Barber on 9212 0200 or email sandy.barber@each.com.au .

Inside track to lose the weight SHARING a patient’s story: I had made multiple attempts at dietary programs during years of young children. I had always battled with weight issues, but it was worse after having my three children. I tried Gloria Marshall, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, which was a significant financial outlay with little long-term success. At my heaviest weight, I was 110kg. I joined a gym and lost 35kgs over two years.
That was back in 2005-’06. Over the next five years, in spite of a personal trainer and going to the gym three times a week, with more financial outlay, I regained 5kg a year (25kg back on). After consulting with Dr Ray McHenry, we made a joint decision to try the Orbera Intra Gastric Balloon. Unfortunately, I was unable to have the balloon due to medical reasons. I was actually relieved I couldn’t have it done, rather than disappointed. After further consultation with Dr
McHenry, we decided on the gastric band, which I had done in January 2011. Initially, I had success with weight loss and lost 25kgs. I began to have increasing issues with intolerance, which caused me to slowly regain the weight. Eighteen months after having the gastric band surgery, Dr McHenry removed my gastric band. With no gastric band in place, I regained all the weight I had lost over the next 12 months despite following

Artistic work is on the walls By JESSE GRAHAM YOUNG Yarra Ranges artists will have the chance to showcase their work on gallery walls, as Yarra Glen’s Art at Linden Gate opens its annual YouthArt applications. YouthArt, which is in its third year, sees the gallery open applications to artists aged 15-25 who live, work or go to school in the Yarra Ranges for an exhibition. Artists submit their work to the gallery, and winning entrants will have their work hung on the wall or based on the grounds for the exhibition, with the goal of selling the work. Gallery curator Reggie Clarke said the exhibition was an opportunity to nurture and encourage young artists, and give them the chance to exhibit their work. “It gives them confidence - it gives them the impetus to want to keep going as an artist,” she said. “If they get the encouragement by selling a piece or even winning an award, they might
Sound of silky strings By KATH GANNAWAY THE amazing violin talent of Jaime Jorge is just part of his story. Jorge, who will present a concert on Sunday, 10 July, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Warburton, shares his compelling story, along with his music, in a way that is entertaining, uplifting and inspirational. Born in Cuba and raised in a communist country, Jorge has
a passion for proclaiming the gospel through his music. Acknowledged as a worldclass violin virtuoso, he has played to audiences in 60 countries and released 16 albums. His story includes opportunities lost and gained through his own and his family’s belief in God - including rejecting an opportunity to train in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians, and the rare opportunity
to leave Cuba as a child. In 1996 he left a promising medical career, choosing to devote himself to full-time music ministry. The concert is free and will feature music ranging from favourite hymns to contemporary praise songs. Warburton SDA Church is at 3490 Warburton Highway. An offering will be collected for Bibles for Cuba.

Ms Clarke said she started YouthArt in response to a lack of younger artists being exhibited in the area. “I run this gallery, and I’ve just noticed that a lot of artists are getting older, and there weren’t any young artists com-

For more information, or to apply, email photos of artworks with a description and the artists’ details to artatlindengate@ gmail.com.

Weapons of mess distraction here Independence Day 1 and 2 (M) Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Liam Hemsworth and Bill Pullman
INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN
ME BEFORE YOU
I DON’T care what anyone else says; Independence Day (1996) is a great movie. Sure, it’s silly, but it has fun, engaging characters, steady pacing and a near-perfect balance of tone. The mind-blowing scenes of destruction carry a palpable human cost, with much of the first act building mystery and fascination about the aliens before the carnage begins. As such, the film succeeds in being awesome and uplifting but
also dramatic and intensely suspenseful, a balancing act much of the blockbuster film industry has forgotten these days. Case in point: even setting aside 20 years of desensitisation to disasters in movies (many of which are in director Roland Emmerich’s own filmography), Independence Day: Resurgence is a terrible movie. Resurgence somehow manages to be more plausible (no hacking an alien mothership with a 1994 Powerbook this time) and more contrived than the first film, with huge leaps of logic and plans that make little sense.
The action scenes lack the emotional resonance of those in the first film, with the cluttered, breakneck pacing leaving little time to dwell on the overblown tragedy. It’s great to see original cast members like Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum return, but they have little to do, with the plot driven primarily by younger actors delivering mediocre performances. Independence Day: Resurgence is an overwhelmingly sloppy follow-up to Emmerich’s excellent first film. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Corey’s one top student By PETER DOUGLAS FORMER Cire Community School student Corey Everitt has been rewarded for his dedication, winning the Most Outstanding Senior VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) Student in 2015. Corey, who is from Monbulk and attended the school’s Mount Evelyn campus, recently received the award at a special presentation at Federation Square. Victorian Education Minister, James Merlino, presented the awards at the ceremony, in which the attendees included Corey’s parents and staff from the community school. Corey has continued to prog-
ress and is now studying media and communications at Deakin College. But it was a long journey for Corey, who had been disengaged from education for more than 12 months before beginning his VCAL studies last year. Early on it proved tough going. Though, by term two, he improved dramatically; then, by term three, he was a leading member of the Senior VCAL class. Corey said he was glad to have started VCAL. VCAL provides an alternative secondary education pathway for students attracted to applied learning.
“The transformation I went through - from an absent and reclusive kid, to an inspired student ... was a pretty substantial change,” he said. “Unbeknown to me, it was supposedly significant enough for a group of judges to think I deserve such an award.” He encouraged other students to keep persisting, particularly with VCAL. “What some don’t see is that the program gives freedom for an active student to prosper and succeed, and also an alternative for the few that just need a helping hand,” he said. Corey hopes to continue studying at Deakin and begin his Bachelor of Arts (Journalism) next year.

Local derby goes sour for Healesville WITH the AFL Yarra Ranges teams all having the week off, the Eastern Region Girls Football League were the only junior games in the Yarra Valley this weekend. Once again, it was the local derby between Yarra Glen and Healesville Under 12s girls for the third time this season. Healesville were hopeful of finally beating Yarra Glen after coming so close in their previous encounter. Yarra Glen brought in the their big guns, with Estelle Peterson making a rare appearance in Under 12s Girls this week, while Jade Spence was back for her first game after being injured in the previous derby.
Healesville were decimated with school holiday absentees and illness with four of their regulars missing. The first quarter started well for Healesville with the ball spending considerable time in the Healesville forward line, but Healesville just couldn’t capitalise and a turnover to Yarra Glen resulted in them scoring the first goal. A couple of great tackles in the first quarter by Jacinta Scragg helped to nullify Peterson’s influence. Healesville continued to defend hard and keep Yarra Glen from scoring, but Yarra Glen managed further goals in the second and third quarters. The ball spent the major-
ity of the final quarter in the Healesville forward line, thanks to some hard work by Briley Heard, Kira Ellis and Billie Heard, but once again Healesville couldn’t find a way to get the ball through the goals. Yarra Glen secured their seventh win of the season to draw equal with Healesville. Both teams will contest the finals in August and are looking to inflict Mount Evelyn with their first loss in the coming weeks.

THE roads to the Woods Point Gun Club for the Howqua River Championships were snowy and slippery, but that didn’t deter six squads of members from attending. The Eye Opener started under overcast skies but the rain and snow kept away. Bill Forrest, Mick Ward and Daryl Ewert shared the AA Grade with Trevor Ewert and Daniel Chinn taking A Grade. Geoff Hill was successful in B Grade, with Ron Press taking the C Grade cash. Scott McKenzie of Jamieson River Autos was the sponsor of the next event, a 20-target Double Barrel Championship. Daryl Ewert took the sash with 36/36 after a shoot-off with Josh Cleeland, Chuck Lay and Phillip Desmond. Ewert also won the AA Grade prize, 33/33, Desmond AA Grade 2nd, 32/23. Jim West won A Grade, 19/20, with Trevor Ewert 2nd,
19/21 while in B Grade, Cleeland was 1st, 27/27, Lay 2nd, 26/27. Michael Bevis was successful again in C Grade, 20/21, Max Cleland 2nd, 19/21. The main event was 40 mixed targets where four different disciplines of 10 targets were combined in one challenging event. Trevor Ewert of Bushies Bakery Glengarry was the sponsor. Desmond won the event outright with a great 54/60 to take the championship sash. Trevor Ewert and Peter West shot off for second and third with Ewert’s 60/70 besting West’s 59/70. Fourth place was taken by Jim West, 52/60. The day finished with a 15pair Double Rise Tower sponsored by John and Maxine Winters of Phudley’s Jewellers of Mansfield. Daylight was quickly fading with the last squad shooting in
near darkness, but they persevered. Forrest’s 29/30 was a good score considering the light and gained him the championship sash from Daryl Ewert, 28/30, second. Rob Bevis and Ian Findlay were to shoot off for third and fourth, but as the tower was now in complete darkness they shared the prizes. Daryl Ewert completed a good day by winning the Phudley’s Jewellers Overall High Gun, 99/110. Kirsten Chinn, apart from taking part in her first clay target competition, also helped to keep the troops fed while the pot belly stove kept the members and soup warm. Bushies Bakery’s pies and cakes and the club’s barbecue were equally sought and totally consumed. The next Woods Point competition is the Matlock Championships on Sunday, 24 July, starting at 10.30am.
Warburton golf results WEDNESDAY, 29 June. PAR: Winner on the day was Mario De Vincentis (+2), who finally threw away the ‘runners-up tag’. The r-up this time was Noel Cross with a +1. Balls went down to -1. The NTP winners were Mr Conwy (3rd), Noel Hyndman (10th) and Kerry Slater on the tricky 15th.
Saturday, 2 July: Stroke and Monthly Medal: The medal was won by Peter Fox who had a nett 67, meaning a fairly impressive 74 ‘off the stick!’ The r-up, in a smaller-than-normal medal field, was Sean Kennedy, with an equally impressive 68 (nett). Balls went down to 73. NTP winners for the day went
to Allan Hubbard (3rd), Noel Cross (9th) and Tim Blanche (15th). Finally, the President’s Trophy, a much-sought-after board event, was won by Geoff Fall, who had a nett 70 to beat the other three finalists. Great work, Fallsy!

Jostling for top spots By CAMERON HUTCHISON
Kinglake came out rejuvenated in the third quarter and kicked 5.1 to 1.6 to take a lead of 27 points into the last quarter. Yea’s indirect kicking was going to come back and bite them. Kinglake’s final scoreline of 18.8 was the main reason they came away with a good win. Kinglake Best: J. Nixon (10 goals), C. Arnott, M. McAllister, A. Beales, L. Arthurson, T. Arnott Yea Best: J. Ryan, B. Cunningham (3 goals), K. Giovannini, A. Hill, H. Saville, M. Ivill (1 goal) Yarra Junction: Bye UNDER 18S
GROUNDS were a little bit damp, but there was no rain over the weekend. Olinda, Wandin and Healesville still share top spot, while Woori Yallock has a one-game break in fourth and Upwey sit fifth. Upwey-Tecoma will take on Belgrave at Belgrave this week in their Round 11 clash for the Sticky Harris Trophy. After big wins on the weekend, Yarra Glen and Kinglake have given themselves a four-point break on the opposition. Seville, Gembrook Cockatoo and Alexandra share third spot, with Yea and Yarra Junction just outside the five. A week off next week for Division 1 to allow for the Annual AFL Victoria Community Cup Clash on Sunday 10 July, at Preston City Oval. DIVISION 1 SENIORS

WANDIN 23.18(156) D EMERALD 9.7(61)
Wandin took a commanding lead at the first break, kicking 7.4 to one behind. This game was always out of reach of Emerald, but they just needed to get some respectability on the scoreboard and fight the game out. Emerald outscored Wandin in the last, kicking 5.2 to 4.3, but the game was well and truly over. Wandin’s kicking was a bit inaccurate and they will want to rectify that before finals. Wandin Best: S. Dwyer (6 goals), J. Bayliss (1 goal), J. Taylor (1 goal), R. Wilson (4 goals), R. Ross (2 goals), M. Polkinghorne (1 goal) Emerald Best: L. McKenna, N. Janssen (3 goals), M. Steer, C. Thomsen, J.

HEALESVILLE 17.8 (110) D WARBURTON MILLGROVE 5.11(41)
Warburton was brought back to earth on Saturday after their great win last week. Healesville held a 16-point lead at the first break and extended their lead to 30 points at half-time and went into half time full of running. Warburton failed to register a major in the third and the lead extended to 48 points going into the last. Healesville continue their hunt towards finals. Healesville Best: A. Davies, C. Warren, M. Jeffery (4 goals), L. Daly, N. Aldridge, J. Layton (2 goals) Warburton Millgrove Best: D. Brookes, T. McKail, J. Mullan, P. Sharp, J. Iacono, L. Barnard WOORI YALLOCK 15.14(104) D MOUNT EVELYN 10.10(70)
Mount Evelyn took an early lead into the second quarter by five points. It was an even second quarter with Mount Evelyn kicking 4.2 to 3.5, as their lead extended to eight points, but it was anybody’s game. Woori Yallock came out full of running in the third, holding Mount Evelyn goalless while they piled on six goals to turn things around and hold a handy 27-point lead into the last. It was pretty much keepings off in the last as Mount Evelyn could not break through with Woori Yallock coming away with a 34-point victory. Woori Yallock Best: J. Matthews (4 goals), J. Williams (3 goals), Daniel Ryan, J. Adams, M. Batten (3 goals), B. McDonald Mount Evelyn Best: C. Carmody (4 goals), L. Francis, J. Thompson (1 goal), R. Cowan, D. Matarazzo, D. Kift OLINDA FERNY CREEK 9.16(70) D. MONBULK 9.9(63)
This was definitely the match of the round. Scores were all tied up at the first break, but Olinda should have been in front after having 10 scoring shots to five.
Upwey-Tecoma Best: B. Oates, A. Milner (1 goal), L. Hughes, B. Raru, I. Shineberg, N. Horne Monbulk-Seville Best: J. Paternoster, B. Redfern, B. Jennings-Allen, L. Hancock-Wolfe, S. Bennett, N. Wall

Wandin Best: Ebony Taggert, Kathleen McMahon, Carly McDonnell (35 goals) Emerald Best: Nancy Te Whata (10 goals), Rebecca Sayers, Imogen Kent WARBURTON MILLGROVE 59 D HEALESVILLE 32
Healesville continue their hunt towards finals. 156348 Olinda got their game going in the second, kicking five goals-to-one and it looked like it was going to be a bit of a blow out. Monbulk held Olinda to three behinds in the third, but only managed to kick 1.3 themselves. This game was not pretty to watch, but Olinda looked like they had the game under control with a 21-point lead going into the last. Monbulk rallied and booted 3.3 to 1.1, but it was just too late as Olinda ended up with a seven-point win. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: N. Keegan (2 goals), O. Millwood, M. Hottes, M. Mollica, N. Syme, J. Rankin Monbulk Best: T. Moerenhout, S. Gough (3 goals), D. McClelland, D. Werts, B. Emmett, S. McBride (3 goals) DIVISION 2 SENIORS FOOTBALL ALEXANDRA 14.9(93) D POWELLTOWN 9.10(64)
Powelltown travelled to Alexandra for what was an extremely important game for them. It would mean keeping their finals chances alive. Powelltown started well, kicking 3.3 to 2.1 and had an eight-point lead at quarter time. Then, 4.3 to 3 straight extended their lead to 17 points at the main break. Alexandra kicked into gear in the third, and piled on 5.3 to 1.3 for a turn-

around of 24-points to arrest the lead back and go into the final quarter with a seven-point lead. They kicked another four goals-toone to now sit equal third on the ladder with Powelltown sitting two games out of the five. Alexandra Best: J. Rouget (6 goals), C. Heaslip, B. Wallace, S. Heveren, B. Norris (3 goals), J. Steyger Powelltown Best: J. Moore (1 goal), Jason Walker (2 goals), T. Hallmark, S. Sanders, N. Moody, W. Dore GEMBROOK-COCKATOO 9.8(62) D SEVILLE 7.11(53)
Gembrook have evened up the ledger and share third spot with Seville, and are vying for that elusive second chance in finals after their gutsy win over Seville on the weekend. Gembrook held a slim seven-point lead at quarter time, and extended that to 18 points at half time after kicking four goals-to-two in the second. Seville failed to score in the third while Gembrook extended their lead. Seville kicked back in the last, holding Gembrook goalless and kicking 3.8 in the last. Indirect kicking by Seville helped Gembrook hold onto a heart stopping nine-point win. Gembrook-Cockatoo Best: A. Shipp, D. Leversha, L. Scott (1 goal), M. Maddison, J. Raymond, D. Scott (1 goal)
Seville Best: M. Cecere (2 goals), A. Mammoliti, B. Penwill, T. Groen, R. Davis, L. Casini YARRA GLEN 32.21(213) D THORNTON EILDON 4.2(26)
Yarra Glen bounced back after three losses to Kinglake, Gembrook and Seville to record a confidence and percentage boosting 187-point win over the struggling Thornton. It was a reasonably even start with Yarra Glen kicking 5.5 to 3.0 in the first. Yarra Glen kicked into gear in the second, kicking 8.7 while Thornton could only manage one goal. A 9.6 quarter to one behind set up the last to see if Yarra Glen would well and truly run away with it or just play out the game for a win. Yarra Glen piled on another 10.3 to record a huge win. Yarra Glen Best: D. Hurley (5 goals), B. Binion, W. Kristelly, J. Smith (7 goals), L. Telford (2 goals), M. Ashton (1 goal) Thornton-Eildon Best: A. Reddan, J. Strachan, T. Bail (1 goal), S. Danilovic (2 goals), D. Creed, Z. King KINGLAKE 18.8(116) D YEA 8.13(61)
Kinglake now share top spot with Yarra Glen and Yea have now dropped to sixth spot, one game out of the five after a disappointing loss on Saturday. Yea were certainly in the hunt up to half time only being behind by eight points at half-time.

Motoring C-HR interior showcases future TOYOTA is showcasing the emotional appeal of its future vehicle interiors with the release of the first official interior images of the new C-HR sport-utility vehicle (SUV). Targeting class-leading sensory quality, the interior of the new C-HR delivers a modern and sensual style that stands out in the Toyota range and sets a new direction for its segment. The Toyota C-HR represents the determination of the company’s global president Akio Toyoda to allow greater stylistic freedom and promote engineering creativity with eye-catching designs and enhanced driving pleasure. Due in Australian showrooms early next year, the C-HR remains remarkably true to the concept cars that attracted widespread public acclaim at motor shows in Paris in 2014 and Frankfurt in 2015. Chief designer Kazuhiko Isawa said the C-HR will give Toyota a powerful new presence in the growing small SUV segment, creating a new frontier with a vehicle that is full of originality. “That newness comes from SUV robustness and strength. But we’re not trying to make an SUV that’s dynamic; rather, a dynamic vehicle with SUV-like properties," Mr Isawa said. The interior styling represents a fresh approach for Toyota with a new “sensual tech" design concept, combining high-tech functionality with a sensual and fashionable style. An airy, expansive cabin has been created through the seamless layered architecture of the instrument panel that continues through to the door trim with a stylish ornamentation and a piano black panel. Operating switchgear is slightly oriented towards the driver and an asymmetrical centre console design ensures all controls are within easy reach.
The first official interior images of the new C-HR sport-utility vehicle. 156329 Australian models will feature a 6.1-inch touch-screen that extends from the instrument panel rather than being enclosed by it. This enhances driver visibility due to the design requiring a lower profile for the upper dashboard. Designers focused painstakingly on component quality and the consistency of grain, texture, shape, colour and illumination in every element, even the stitch groove radii of the seats. A unique new two-tiered front seat design combines a slender, sporting upper section with a more strongly bolstered and supportive lower area.
Reinforcing the link between interior and exterior design, the shape of many switches reflects the diamond motif of the exterior body shell. The same diamond theme is also visible in the door trim pattern, the headliner and even the needles of the driver’s analogue instrument dials. Decorative elements are finished in high-quality piano black and satin silver trim with clear blue illumination for the instruments and switches. Prominent blue highlights across the dash and door trims for European models will be replaced by cool-grey inserts for Australia. Local models will feature advanced safety
features including a pre-collision system with autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering control, automatic high beam and a reversing camera. Other available features include heated seats, a smart entry and start system, privacy glass, 18inch alloy wheels and bi-tone metallic paintwork. The Toyota C-HR’s unique character demonstrates the flexibility that the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) gives to vehicle developers in the three key areas of design, powertrain and dynamics. Positioned between the Corolla hatch and the RAV4, the vehicle is 4350mm long, 1795mm wide, 1550mm high and has a 2640mm wheelbase. The exterior design features a diamond architectural theme with wheel arches projecting prominently at all four corners to emphasise strength and rigidity. The structure combines a powerful lower body and raised ground clearance with the slim and sleek cabin profile of a coupe. Coupe-like styling for the five-door C-HR is further enhanced by disguised rear door handles integrated within the C-pillar, a sweeping roofline and an aerodynamic skeletal frame rear spoiler. The strongly tapered cabin integrates a tophinged tailgate for access to the load space and prominent rear light clusters. The C-HR for the Australian market will be powered by a new 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that delivers maximum power of 85kW and peak torque of 185Nm. It will be available in front and all-wheel-drive configurations with six-speed manual or continuously variable automatic transmissions.
