■ Council looks at employing chaplains to support staff…

Happy chappies The City of Casey Council is considering a proposal to employ a chaplain to counsel staff and councillors.

The plan comes as the council reconsiders a fresh proposal for chaplains in community spaces, despite council officers initially rejecting the proposal in a report presented to council on Tuesday 16 May. Councillor Amanda Stapledon presented an alternative recommendation at the council meeting on Tuesday night that will see the council again meeting with chaplain service provider Korus Connect.

The original recommendation from council officers in the report suggested the council not under-

take the planned chaplaincy program through its youth and children services program.

“The extensive range of support already provided by council and the expertise of council staff officers do not support the introduction of chaplaincy services into council’s child and youth programs,” council officers noted in their report.

The recommendation also suggested that council refers residents seeking chaplaincy services from the City of Casey directly to Korus Connect.

However, Cr Stapledon suggested that council members, officers and interested community groups have a second meeting with Korus Connect to “outline a broader initiative and funding model.”

Cr Stapledon said the introduction of chaplains into community spaces and groups would be a worthwhile initiative for council to investigate funding avenues for.

“A chaplain is really well placed in community groups and part of the community,” she said.

“We can look at a number of interested community groups to jointly fund this instead of the ratepayer, and I would like to do more work on this.”

The new alternative recommendation was passed by council without dissent.

The proposal for council to fund and place chaplains in community spaces such as sports groups and shopping centres was first raised at a council meet-

ing in December 2016. After meeting with Korus Connect in January, it was revealed that employing chaplains in community spaces would cost council up to $71,525 per chaplain annually.

At the council meeting, Cr Stapledon said she would also like to see a chaplain employed by council for council staff, and to change the title of the role to avoid polarised views in the community.

“There is an alternative name of ‘community support officer’ and I think we should use that name in order to be consistent with other groups,” she said.

“They are not there to preach; they are there to help people, and they know the right people to refer onto, so a chaplain can be a great confidant.”

Lost kids just need love

By Casey Neill Basketball is protecting and transforming at-risk Dandenong youths through a new African team.

The Black Rhino players received their jerseys at Dandenong Basketball Stadium on Tuesday 16 May ahead of their first tournament on Sunday 22 May. Malawi-born Selba Luka told guests at the team launch event that she struggled to settle into life in a new country.

Her marriage broke up and her teenage daughter went off the rails.

“At the time I wanted to deport my own daughter,” she said.

The mental health clinician started Afri-Aus Care to help others, and through her work met Jamy Alex.

She helped him through his problems with drinking, drugs and court.

“This child was lost,” she said.

“He wanted to die, but he is here.”

She embraced his idea of starting a basketball club and the Black Rhinos were born.

“These young people, they just need love,” she said.

“Give them hope.

“Things will change.”

Ms Luka said the team name referenced the endangered black rhinoceros, which was receiving protection to ensure its survival.

“Our young people, we don’t want to lose them through drugs or alcohol,” she said.

“We want to protect them.”

Basketball Victoria’s Karen Pearce said the Black Rhinos was increasing social connectivity and physical health, and decreasing anti-social behaviour and criminal activity.

“We will use our sport as a distraction technique to gently steer participants into an environment that is safe, inclusive and supportive,” she said.

Dandenong Basketball CEO Graeme Allen found a court space for the team on a Tuesday night.

He said 15 kids turned up for the first session and there were now 60 signed up.

Black Rhinos founder Jamy Alex greets supporters.

Mr Allen said the older teens had started to bring their younger siblings with them.

“When you’re involved in sport you’re held to account pretty well,” he said.

“For me, in maybe two months, maybe three months, if we see the Black Rhinos as a club in this association, participating in our domestic basketball competition during the week, that would be ideal.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said the court dealt with a lot of youths who didn’t play sport, and emphasised its importance alongside family and school.

“If you combine those three things, the chances of you ever coming to court and having any contact with Victoria Police is minimal, in fact non-existent,” he said.

“I’m going to come on Sunday. I’m going to bring my family.”

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said she played sport growing up.

“It taught me a lot about life,” she said.

“It’s not just participation and fun and relationships but it’s also discipline, it’s learning not to let your team mates down.

“I can see why it’s a great vehicle through which to engage young people.

“A team, a club is also a place for people to feel welcome, to be themselves, to meet new people, to find new pathways.”

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said sport connected people.

“It gives people who’ve lost their way a purpose,” he said.

“Basketball has literally turned around the lives of these young people.”

Acting Commander Peter Lardner spoke briefly on behalf of Victoria Police.

“We find it a real positive to be involved in these sorts of activities,” he said.

The Black Rhinos will play in the ADRA and VicYouth Basketball Tournament at Dandenong Basketball Stadium on Sunday 21 May.

Jobs from China From page 1.

Mr Noonan said Concourse’s move would create 198 new jobs by 2020 in manufacturing, design and product development.

“It will allow us and allow the business to tap into ex-auto workers who will be looking for new opportunities come the end of car manufacturing in Victoria later this year,” he said.

Mr MacKay announced that SRX would make its newest product, Smart Wheels, during a visit by Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan and Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams to the Concourse Golf team at SRX Global Australia’s Kitchen Road factory in Dandenong on Tuesday 16 May. “Within the hubs of each wheel we have motors, lithium batteries, sensors, processors, gyroscopes…” he said.

“These wheels are now able to talk to each other, and they’re able to talk to an app, to your phone or to a dedicated control.

“For golfers it makes for much better on-course performance and a lot more compact and better-performing buggy allround.

“But the application for these wheels go well beyond golf.

“They talk to each other via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and this enables mobility opportunities within the disability sector.

“We’re looking forward to the launch of the first wheels coming out of this very factory in December this year.” Concourse and SRX are also working with DNI and Procept on the Smart Wheels.

Unfriendly changeroom gets refurbish approval

In Brief Car repair shop targeted Car bandits drove two stolen cars from a Hallam burglary scene.

The duo broke into an automotive repair business on Hallam South Road between 6pm on Friday 5 May and 8am on Saturday 6 May. Police said they grabbed the keys to a grey Holden Monaro with registration RJC511 and a silver Holden VX Commodore sedan with registration 1DR1VF. They used one of the vehicles to ram a roller door before leaving the scene.

The Holden VX Commodore was later used in other crimes and police have recovered the car.

Call Senior Constable Tim Joustra at Casey CIU on 9705 3114 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Barry Simon Reserve’s cramped changerooms are on track for a rebuild in a move which overturns a Casey council report declaring them “femalefriendly”.

On 16 May, Casey councillors endorsed a $25,000 allocation to master plan the clubrooms’ upgrade, as well as $105,000 of short-term upgrades such as a new kitchen door.

Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani, who was taken aback by the assessment, vowed that improvements would be made for the growing legion of female footy teams at the Endeavour Hills ground.

“We need to have better facilities for women in the upgrade,” Cr Crestani said.

“It’s very dubious what seems to constitute female-friendly.”

Casey council officers found the current setup of home-and-away toilets with cubicle toilets and showers was “female friendly”.

Tenant club Endeavour Hills Falcons was able to time-table its training and match days to avoid a “conflict of use” between males and females, the report stated.

Club seniors president Rex Ashenden, councillors Milla Gilic and Rosalie Crestani, juniors president Steve Navarra and federal MP Anthony Byrne in the changerooms. 167656 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Drugs in hotel car The outdoor public disabled toilet. 167656 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

The Falcons, however, argue that the toilets were too small for purpose, and that the changing areas were in the same room - separated by a mere sliding screen.

The clubrooms were built 30 years ago for two junior football sides.

Now the club juggles a crammed seven-day timetable to squeeze in Auskick players and eight senior and junior, men’s and women’s sides - and their opponents - for training and game days.

The second kitchen entrance will be installed to avoid volunteers walking through the changerooms to get to the kitchen.

In the short term, the soiled changeroom carpets will be replaced with vinyl, the public toilet will be refurbished and the ramp to the public toilet will be upgraded.

The pavilion is being prioritised for design in 2023-24, with construction the following year.

Burger day is going to be a mouthfull Sushi, schnitzel and cupcakes aren’t the standard burger buns.

But Dandenong Market traders are getting creative to mark National Burger Day. The Sunday 28 May event will also feature a chance for diners to sit on the Burger Day Throne.

To earn the privilege they’ll have to tackle the Freak Force Burger - four beef patties, bacon, pineapple and cheese.

Instagrammer Damien Edgan designed the monster meal for market stall The Grill and anyone who can finish one will receive a commemorative trophy.

Hot Pouch Bar and Dining will serve up a schnitzel burger using the chicken as the bun while Osaka Kitchen will make a teriyaki burger sandwiched between sushi rice buns.

Melina’s Bakery and Larder has created a sweet burger that features a chocolate ganache brownie ‘patty’ wedged between two sweet vanilla cupcake ‘buns’ with ‘cheese’ and ‘lettuce’ icing.

Dandee Donuts uses a doughnut as the bun for a Tim Tam patty.

Diners can have their Dandenong Market Burger Passport stamped with each burger purchase at each participating trader to go into the running to win $500 in Dandenong Market vouchers.

The Grill will also be giving away 100 burgers, to be eaten in a year.

National Burger Day at Dandenong Market, corner Clow and Cleeland streets, will run from 10am to 3pm on Sunday 28 May.

Police patrolling a Doveton hotel uncovered drugs and cash in a car.

The Divisional Frontline Tactical Unit members spoke to the driver of a Nissan Pulsar during their patrol and subsequently searched the man and his car.

They found used syringes, drug paraphernalia, a quantity of crystallised substance and a substantial amount of cash.

The driver appeared at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 16 May.

Plea for pinched pennies Police are hoping to reunite a coin collector with a sentimental souvenir recovered in Dandenong.

They seized an album of pressed coins during a vehicle intercept on Princes Highway on Monday 1 May. Police believe the album was stolen, but despite making a number of checks they’ve been unable to find its owners.

The album is from Universal Studios and inside are “pressed” pennies with various landmarks from across Australia and the United States.

Looking Back 100 years ago 24 May 1917 About People Private Holford, who was wounded in France and afterwards spent several weeks in hospital in England, returned to Australia some days ago.

He was formerly on the Journal staff but it will be some time before he will be fit for duty in any capacity.

Private Frank Sholbrook of Dandenong was amongst the batch of returned soldiers who arrived some days ago.

His trouble is shell-shock.

On Thursday night Private Sholbrook, who is a member of the local Foresters’ Lodge, was accorded a hearty welcome home by the brethren at the fortnightly meeting of the lodge.

Quartermaster Sergeant Ted Tathan, who enlisted in Tasmania but who resided for many years in Dandenong, returned from Eng-

land some days ago, where he had the bad luck to injure the spine owing to a fall from one of the military wagons, which necessitated his spending several weeks in hospital.

Last week he visited Dandenong where he was heartily welcomed by many old friends.

50 years ago 18 May 1967 Angry opposition in street Proposals to control pedestrian traffic in Dandenong’s main shopping street have united shoppers and shopkeepers in angry opposition.

“We’re not a mob of b ... ... ... ... . sheep and we won’t be herded around as though we were,” snapped a shopper.

“It will drive shoppers out of Dandenong - then there won’t be anyone to control,” a store proprietor growled.

“Verging on communism,” said another.

Council decided to investigate the possibility of painting white lines on the footpaths

and installing “keep left” signs to control the movement of pedestrian traffic.

Cr Gatley said people often stopped to chatter in groups on the footpath and obstructed people in a hurry.

20 years ago 26 May 1997 Imports face local attack Locally-made products would be promoted over imports under an ambitious plan by Greater Dandenong Council to boost the local economy and create jobs in the region.

Instead of businesses displaying things they want to sell, they will display things they need to buy and components they need to have made.

5 years ago 21 May 2012 Plea to get rid of boom gates Crippling traffic gridlock at Noble Park’s

Heatherton Road level crossing is being described as close to “another Springvale”.

Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades is calling for a grade separation of the crossing, following the State Government funding the elimination of Springvale’s level crossing over the next four years.

“We’re starting to experience the same problems in Noble Park. There’s shades of Springvale,” she said.

Motorists in Noble Park told the Weekly they have been held up for more than 10 minutes at peak times at the level crossing, complicated by the adjacent roundabout at Douglas Street and Lightwood and Heatherton roads.

“They claim the Springvale level crossing is bad but they should get this crossing done as well. We live in a First World country - we should have a better road system.”

Criminals don’t care about rules COMMUNITY

man losing his life and two others being injured.

I used to accept that crime was just part of life and that it’s everywhere. Then I changed my thinking. Crime seems to be a hot potato among authorities.

It’s born from various societal pressures, yet we tend to simply throw the hot potato back into the hands of police.

Shouldn’t our leaders at all levels of government better share the problem?

I initiated two online petitions in November last year.

Expression of Interest

12352456-ACM21-17

I’ve lived in the Somerfield estate in Keysborough with my wife and two young children since 2010.

The population is expected to grow to more than 14,000 residents by 2018.

This year crime is a hot topic. It’s reported daily in the media and often sensationalised. Every day we hear about rising crime and that it’s rampant throughout Victoria. Local authorities tell us that our suburb is relatively safe and our crime rate is relatively low compared to neighbouring suburbs.

What I’m told and what I’m experiencing seem at odds.

Since living here, I’ve seen an escalation in types of crime and frequency; from car theft and burglary to brazen drug dealing and now murder.

We’ve had three high-profile crime cases within the space of a year: an aggravated burglary that resulted in a family moving from the area; raids on a suspected drug house, which resulted in a suspect shooting at police officers; and recently a drive-by shooting, which tragically resulted in one young

The first targeted Greater Dandenong Council and the second Keysborough MP Martin Pakula.

The petitions ask for a range of initiatives to be realised, including greater police presence, a dedicated police station for Keysborough, CCTV cameras for main roads and private security patrols.

I know it’s a lot to ask, but I strongly believe we need to think big.

The petitions have opened a dialogue with our local authorities and drawn attention to the issues we are faced with.

A community safety forum held in March this year attracted a large number of residents.

Mr Pakula stated that thousands of police were being trained and would be deployed this year.

Yet to date, Greater Dandenong has received 10 officers - just three per cent of the initial state-wide allocation. As Springvale is my local station, I ask how many additional police will be stationed there?

I also ask how many additional officers will be deployed in the future?

Greater Dandenong councillors were also receptive to public concern, however a formal response to the petition from their latest public meeting took quite a different tone.

Disappointingly, the request for CCTV and security patrols was quashed sighting established council policies.

Criminals have no regard for policies, rules and red tape.

Residents are certainly doing more, with many upgrading their security. Social media is also playing a role; residents are forming local groups to keep each other informed of neighbourhood activity.

The one positive to evolve from this issue is that it has banded the community together. We are now connected more than ever and are keeping watch over our growing suburb. Nothing is going un-noticed.

Despite the challenges ahead, my outlook is positive. The biggest question remains: are we doing everything we can to make our neighbourhoods safer?

It’s none of our business but…

Last hope for a lifeline

By Casey Neill A Dandenong charity that provides a lifeline to hundreds of people has received one itself. But Cornerstone Contact Centre is not out of the woods yet.

It has to move out of its home in a converted church at Mason and Walker streets by Friday 30 June.

The Rado family has provided the site rent free for 25-plus years and announced late last year that it wanted to sell.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams announced a $30,000 State Government grant to help Cornerstone to move at a farewell afternoon tea on Friday 19 May. “Cornerstone do a remarkable job helping some of the most disadvantaged members of our community,” she said. “This funding will ensure they can continue to deliver vital services that many in our community rely on.

“To lose Cornerstone would be to lose a lifeline for many in our community.

“Cornerstone helps hundreds of people every week in our community.

“When it was their time to ask for help, I wanted to make sure we didn’t let them down.”

On Monday 22 May, Greater Dandenong councillors will vote on a recommendation to provide an immediate one-off grant of $25,000 to help Cornerstone to set up its new premises, and a one-off increase of its $19,000 annual funding to $30,000 for the 2017-18 year. The report in the meeting agenda also recommends that the council ask Cornerstone for a business plan, and points to a Mason Street property available as a commercial lease as its likely new home.

“Cornerstone provides a much needed service, the loss of which would be widely felt across the community,” it said.

Cornerstone CEO Stephen Barrington said these two grants would bring its fund-raising to $51,000.

That’s still $24,000 short of his goal.

“We need to raise all of it before we can go ahead with negotiating our new place,” he said.

“It’s disappointing that we don’t have the funds.

“It’s disappointing that we can’t, therefore, announce where we’re going.

“We’re really confident this will happen, but it’s still a balancing act.”

Mr Barrington thanked the Rado family for extending Cornerstone’s exit date, and for allowing the service to grow from a hunch and a dream to a home for people who were experiencing hardship.

“We have a short-term option with Dandenong Church of Christ if we need to exercise that option past 30 June,” he said.

Abby hands out Dandee Donuts.

“They’re so simple but they’re so yummy,” Mr Holland said.

He said the South African sour sultanas were his current favourite product.

Fishmonger Dennis Schwarze has worked at Schwarze Seafood “pretty much since the day I was born”.

The stall is the market’s oldest, dating back to 1930.

Mr Holland said its seafood was 90 per cent Australian and 10 per cent New Zealand-sourced.

Mr Schwarze said to check fish for clear eyes, bright red gills, and firm and shiny flesh.

He’s the third generation of his family to run the business and hand-picks seafood from the wholesale market each day.

Dandee Donuts serves up 5000 doughnuts each day, cooked fresh in the van.

Maureen and Dick Bell established their business in their Oakleigh back yard in the late 1960s.

The stall has developed a loyal following since

finding a permanent home at the market in the ’70s.

The sugar cane pulp is used as mulch or animal feed.

Chef Tim Holland describes Dandenong Market as “a very real market”.

“There’s great stories behind all the traders,” he said.

“You feel like you’re walking through the world.”

It’s not a stylised market, he explained to a media walking tour on Friday 12 May. It’s “really produce-driven”, multicultural, cool and a place where families buy their weekly groceries.

“It’s a real seasonal market,” he said.

“If you want to find the best stuff you’ve got to think seasonally.”

Mr Hollands took the group through the market’s six areas - the fruit and veg section; the Meat, Fish and Deli Hall; the Pantry; Market Square; the Terrace and the Bazaar.

A coffee from Cafe Valentina was the first stop, followed by fresh bread filled with spinach and cheese from Lebanese bakery Why Not? Rhonda Tannous said the halloumi-heavy offering was the bakery’s best-seller.

“Growing up I always wanted to do something for myself,” she said.

She suggested the stall to husband Kamil and he replied with “yeah, why not?”.

They opened in 2011 and serve up traditional Lebanese pizza and pastries.

Joza Hart is a second generation beekeeper and honey producer with about 600 hives.

His father was a beekeeper in Slovenia and continued the business when he moved his family to Australia in 1969.

Joza now runs Hart’s Honey and stocks unique honeys flavoured by the bees’ food source.

Batory Continental Deli specialises in Polish and Hungarian meats and sausages made by local butchers with all-Australian pork products.

“They have smoked ribs that are amazing with beer,” Mr Hollands said.

Sam’s Spice and Grocery stocks spices, flavourings and more from around the globe.

The tour bumped into Sam himself at one of his other three stalls, Peanut Market, which Mr Holland said stocked “every nut you can imagine”.

The group peeled and tasted hot roasted peanuts.

Maze makes the right connection

By Casey Neill Diverse performers bring diverse ideas to the table at Dandenong’s Fusion Theatre.

A Place Called Maze is the result.

The production will hit the stage at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre at 7.30pm on Wednesday 31 May, Thursday 1 June and Friday 2 June. The performances will be a celebration of 20 years of Fusion. Artistic director Jo Raphael established the inclusive drama group in 1997 following a request from Springvale’s Alex Litsoudis, who has an intellectual disability.

“Theatre is a great equaliser,” she said.

It was first known as Dramability but evolved into Fusion.

“Not everyone in this group identifies as having a disability,” Ms Raphael said.

“This is not therapy.

“It can be therapeutic but it’s not about that.

“It’s about art.

“We set the bar high.”

Her dedication earned her this year’s Greater Dandenong Leadership Award on Australia Day. Ms Raphael works at Deakin University and regularly involves students and alumnus in Fusion, and also brings in professional theatre artists.

Several members have secured film and television rolls.

“We’re a little company and we work on a shoestring budget but we have a big impact,” she said.

Andrew Robbins has been alongside Ms Raphael since the start.

“I’ve been known to have an active imagination and a wicked sense of humour,” he said about what drew him to the group.

“I didn’t think I’d be here 20 years down the track.

“There’s a lot of disabled people with nowhere to go and very little support.”

He said Fusion was an outlet. Jean-Maree Cadby from Frankston joined 19 years ago.

“I love Wednesday nights,” she said.

“People with a disability need a voice and they need to be recognised and they need to say ‘I can do what anybody else in society can’.”

Andrew ‘Biz’ Bisignano from Endeavour Hills needed rehabilitation following a brain haemorrhage.

“It put me in a wheelchair,” he said.

“Rehab told me to do this. They said it would be a good way for me to express emotion and would be good for my recovery.

“A year later I’m still here.”

Deakin graduate Amanda Santuccione, from Prahran, joined Fusion late last year.

“It’s just nice to create art with enthusiastic people,” she said.

Fusion Theatre evening ensemble associate director Magda Miranda worked with the group to create A Place Called Maze, inspired by Sean Tan’s illustrated book The Red Tree.

“It is a story rich with emotion and at the same time, rich with the ordinary everydayness of being human,” she said.

“Every week, we would work with an image or a couple of lines from the book.

“We would start with a discussion about the image or lines of text and explore these through improvisation.”

Ms Miranda said that performers spoke about worries in their lives, like feeling unheard or disrespected due to disability, being bullied, and battling stereotypes and labels.

“They also shared stories of success and talked about how little we seem to have time to celebrate things these days,” she said.

“My work as director has been to listen and then to knit the bits and pieces together, making sure that all the voices are included.”

Tickets to A Place Called Maze are available at the door for $15 for adults and $10 concession.

AFL kicks in with pathways to jobs

By Victoria Stone-Meadows AFL Sportsready and the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) have joined forces to place 100 young people from Casey and Dandenong in work over the next four years.

The pathways to work program will support young people from culturally diverse backgrounds to gain valuable educational and workplace experience.

The program will see the two not-for-profit groups working closely with young people in Casey and Dandenong, providing links for young people to learn and engage with employment opportunities.

Pathways to Work supports young people through education and paid work options, traineeships and apprenticeships in growth industries in Victoria; allowing both workers and employers to build valuable future skills and networks.

At the program’s launch, program participant Mustaf Aden shared his experience of migrating to Australia and trying to find work.

“I arrived from Somalia as a 15-year-old in 2010 without knowing a single word of English,” Mr Aden said.

“It took me a year to get around the language barrier and then I went to high school. In the two years after graduating, I found it really difficult to find a job.”

“I felt like no-one was willing to take a chance and provide me with an opportunity to show what a hard worker I am.”

“Thanks to AFL SportsReady and CMY, I have this great job and I’m determined to make sure it’s successful. I am making the most of this opportunity.”

CMY CEO Carmel Guerra OAM said while they could support young people entering the workforce, it was equally important potential employers came to the table as well.

“It is now more important than ever for businesses to provide young migrant and refugee people with an opportunity to create a future,” she said.

“Despite limited opportunity, it’s inspiring to

Mustaf Aden, with co-founder of AFL SportsReady Kevin Sheedy, Ahmad Suleiman, and Ali Nazari at the Pathways to Work program launch in Dandenong on 20 April. witness their positive outlook and willingness to put in the hard work to succeed.”

The program is being partly funded by a $750,000 commitment from the Victorian State Government.

Minister for Industry and Employment Wade Noonan said it was important for the government

to engage in programs to assist the changing nature of the Victorian workforce.

“Victoria’s economy is changing. We need business and communities to come together to offer job opportunities for the next generation of young people,” he said.

“Many young Victorians face barriers to em-

ployment in their local communities - and we want to turn this around.”

“This program, bringing together two highlyrespected organisations, will change the lives of young people by giving them opportunities to shine in the workplace.”

Proudly presented by

Deza-Con III a fan-tastic drawcard

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Movie sequels are rarely better than the original.

But that rule doesn’t seem to apply to Casey’s only mass pop-culture fair Deza-Con III - a magnet for elaborate costumes, comic traders and video game fans.

Organiser Roy Condeza says he is continuing to add extra attractions to the two events staged in Narre Warren last year.

One highlight is an Artist’s Alley in which five Melbourne comic book artists will be showing off their creations, including an artist live-demonstrating his take on well-known DC and Marvel comic characters.

“It’s a rare opportunity for the young guys to see how it’s done in Casey because this style of art isn’t really encouraged in school art classes,” Mr Condeza said.

“It’s like in music where you have to learn classical and music theory, but you really want to be a heavy metal or jazz musician.”

There will also be a chance to try-out the latest Nintendo gaming console, as well as to win prizes in an open tournament on the machine.

Some of the tournament’s proceeds will go to charity.

Different traders will offer their wares, such as a seller of vintage toys from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

Niche clubs such as Star Trek Academy, Transformers and Collectors, and Dr Who fans will also set up stalls.

There’s also expected to be the usual crowds of fans dressed up as their favourite characters, all eligible for prizes in the event’s cosplay competition.

“We’re building that bit of diversity, drawing it into the City of Casey,” Mr Condeza said.

“Usually pop culture is something that people enjoy in the confines of their own home.

“Deza-Con allows them to free themselves up and hang out with other guys who enjoy this sort of comics, toys and video-games.”

“It shows it’s OK to like that nerd and geek type of stuff.”

Deza-Con III is at Narre Warren Community Learning Centre, Malcolm Court on Saturday 27 May, 10am-4pm. Entry: $5; children under-12 free.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

There’s no ego in how they care for the planet

By Casey Neill Recycling is a growing part of the Ego Pharmaceuticals workplace.

The family-owned company moved into a warehouse and office in Dandenong South earlier this year.

Its manufacturing still takes place in Braeside, and will for decades to come, but the skincare specialist needed more space.

Managing director Alan Oppenheim said the Oppenheim Way site was right on EastLink and 40 per cent of the business was export-based.

There’s parkland nearby, easy bicycle access and a retail precinct on the way.

“We wanted high land, because we’re worried about flood risk with increasing climate change,” he said.

The site is 9.5 hectares “which is planning for our next 60 years”.

Ego has so far built on 20 per cent of the land.

“Long-term, our aim is to have manufacturing here as well as Braeside,” he said.

Mr Oppenheim said recycling was something the company had been doing for decades, and the Dandenong South site had allowed Ego to expand its efforts.

“It’s one of those things that starts off softly and then you do more and more and more,” he said.

For Ego, it started off with big cardboard boxes.

“Once you start with that you go onto a whole lot of other levels,” he said.

Many Ego products are sold in plastic bottles, so recycling them was the obvious next step.

Further to that, Ego changed from receiving printed bottles from its supplier to receiving blank bottles and attaching stickers to reduce waste.

“A blank bottle could be used for 50 different bottles,” Mr Oppenheim said.

“It starts with cardboard, it moves to plastic and then it moves to paper.

“Next to pretty much every printer we have a wheelie bin.”

Uncollected printing was piling up, so Ego thought that even better than recycling the waste was reducing it in the first place.

All staff now hit print on a document, walk to the printer and scan a swipe card to receive the hard copy.

“If you sent it by mistake, it doesn’t come out,” he said.

Ego also recycles printer cartridges and polysty-

rene. There’s a box for recycling e-waste and light globes, and separate bins for landfill and recycling in the canteen with clear marking.

“If it’s easy to do, we all do it,” Mr Oppenheim said.

“The system here encourages us to put everything we possibly can into the recycling.”

Further on the environmental front at Ego’s new site, double glazing controls sound and temperature, the heating is gas, and solar panels run LED lights on motion sensors.

“All of that stuff saves money and saves electricity,” he said.

“It’s not done for financial reasons.

“We’re a strange entity.”

The Ego letter of employment features an agreement to support the values of Ego, which includes doing the right thing for the community.

Planet Ark recycling programs manager Ryan Collins said many workplaces didn’t understand

they might be wasting money by sending waste to landfill.

Australian workplaces pay a State Government levy for each tonne of eligible waste sent to landfill, which in Victoria is $62 a tonne.

Mr Collins said 66 per cent of consumers were willing to pay more for goods and services from companies committed to reducing their environmental impact.

He said 80 per cent of employees would like more recycling in their workplace and said that having recycling facilities made them feel like they worked for a responsible employer.

The Business Case for Less Waste is a new Planet Ark resource designed to help staff identify inefficiencies and unnecessary costs and make the case for better systems.

AFLW player Lauren Arnell will share her journey to success with Greater Dandenong businesses.

She’s the guest speaker for the next Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Awards breakfast, to be held at Sandhurst Club at 7am on Wednesday 14 June.

Three nominees for the awards will also be presented on the morning.

Lauren is the current captain of the AFLW Carlton team, the AFL Victorian Education and Training manager and a member of the AFLPA Women’s Football Advisory Committee. She is a triplet, grew up on a farm near Riddells Creek and was a basketballer before taking up AFL when she was 17.

Lauren played for the Western Bulldogs from 2013 to 2016, has played in nine VWFL premierships with the Darebin Falcons, has represented Victoria six times and has made the All Australian team three times.

She is also a level two AFL accredited coach, has been a teacher for six years, and has appeared as an ABC Radio expert commentator and a Marngrook Football Show panel member.

Centre’s bold aim is to connect jobs to young people A connectivity centre could be the key to filling scores of jobs with unemployed young people in Greater Dandenong.

The Mayoral Youth Employment Taskforce met for the first time on Wednesday 17 May at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said federal and state politicians, business owners and educators all took part.

“It was setting all the ground rules and what we want to get done,” he said.

He said the business representatives in particular suggested a connectivity centre for Dandenong.

“They thought that that would be huge for the region,” he said.

“That’s something that we’re going to look into.

“It would be like having a huge facility where probably it trains people and matches people who’ve got that training, ready to go, who are job ready.”

Cr Memeti said Dandenong South caravan manufacturer Jayco needed 70 new employees.

He said Corex Plastics in Dandenong South had 30 or 40 job vacancies and Hilton Manufacturing, also in Dandenong South, was seeking 50 workers.

“They can’t fill them. We need to understand why young people aren’t applying for these jobs,” Cr Memeti said.

“Are they not ready for them? We want to be able to fill these jobs with young people.”

He said about 80 per cent of Greater Dandenong students finished Year 12, compared to the state average of 90 per cent.

Drive needed to succeed

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti leads the Mayoral Youth Employment Taskforce in its first meeting.

168393 Picture: ROB CAREW “It’s about understanding these figures, breaking them down,” he said.

“Where can we put these younger people to work and what are they looking for?”

The next taskforce meeting is scheduled for July.

The group will meet twice more after that before the end of September.

“I want to have a clear direction if we’ve got any opportunities to have a connectivity centre in the region,” Cr Memeti said. “I want to see us connect

with young people and how to put them into work.

“I don’t think it’s good enough to have 20-plus per cent youth unemployment in our region, especially when there’s jobs out there.

“I want to see youth unemployment drop. I’d love to see it go to the national average. That would be the ultimate outcome.”

The taskforce followed a report into how the council could improve employment for young people and asylum seekers living in the municipality.

NEW HOMES & LAND

HUSBAND AND WIFE’S BUILDING EMPIRE Rawdon Hill sales consultant Jillian Craig tells a delightful story about her boss Geoff Hardie, the owner and founder of the company which has been building homes in the south-east for more than 40 years.

Jillian was showing potential buyers a Rawdon Hill spec home. As they walked towards the front door they spotted a man working in the garden.

“The buyers said ‘we don’t want to interrupt the gardener.’ I said that’s not the gardener, it’s the owner of the company,” said Jillian, laughing.

“Those buyers were so impressed.”

“I’m not an office person,” chipped in Geoff, clearly amused by the anecdote.

Since 1976, Geoff and his wife Sue have overseen the construction of more than 6000 homes throughout the south-east under the Rawdon Hill banner.

The company was named after the Dandenong North street in which Sue and Geoff bought their first home.

“We had a different name picked out but it was taken so our accountant took it upon himself to pick the name. I have to spell it customers all the time,” Geoff said.

Originally from New Zealand, Sue and Geoff came to Australia for an 18 month working holiday in the ’70s. Despite having no qualifications, Geoff got a job in the building industry.

“In those days it was easy to become a builder, you didn’t need a licence or anything. We built our first place in Cranbourne in 1976 and we have really gone from there.”

He chuckles as he recounts the difference in buyer expectations in the 1970s compared to now.

“People wanted 10 squares, three bedrooms, one bathroom and no garages.

Garages were an extra.

“We sold that place (in Cranbourne) for $27,500 and still made a profit,” he added, laughing.

“Today stamp duty costs more than that.”

Geoff has also seen buyer expectations ratchet up decade by decade.

“It amazes me. There is a lot of talk at the moment about first home buyers struggling to get into places but when they stop and think about it they want everything in the house, that’s why it costs so much.

“Our first house we had we didn’t have carpet on the floors just bare boards because we couldn’t afford it at the time.”

HOME OWNERSHIP IS NOT JUST A DREAM FOR YOUNG BUYERS

It’s low maintenance, it’s ready to go but only one buyer can make it theirs.

For those buyers who are after an amazing location, this has to be at the top of the list with the Brady Road shops literally around the corner, a plethora of schools all within walking distance, a bus stop close by, not to mention the nearby parks and reserves.

Its A1 position makes this one a treat.

Geoff is also amazed by the speed of the growth that continues to transform the City of Casey and neighbouring Cardinia.

“Oh yes, that has surprised me.

“I have seen it developing over the years, but I didn’t think it would develop as quickly as it has.”

In its early days Rawdon Hill was only allowed to build three houses per year.

Today the company builds 150 homes a year. At its peak more than 300 families each year were handed the keys to their new Rawdon Hill home.

“We pride ourselves on the fact when we finish a house we are prepared to live in it ourselves,” Geoff said.

Geoff and Sue, who is the company secretary, employ 22 staff who Geoff

describes as “family”.

Jillian Craig, who joined Rawdon Hill nine years ago, agrees.

“I say to people all the time, it’s a family business and it really is. It’s lovely. You feel like you are part of the family,” she said.

“Geoff knows what is going on in the company all the time.”

Today Geoff has scaled back his involvement, confining himself to site inspections before projects start. He also dabbles in unit development “not as a business but because I enjoy it”.

He said Sue is “trying to get me to retire”.

The couple are “impulsive travellers” and enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, who are five and seven.

On Wednesday afternoons Geoff can be found on the golf course working on his handicap.

“I’m not sure that I’ll retire for a while, I am happy contributing at the moment. I do little projects myself within the company structure, unit projects and that sort of thing.”

Near the Rawdon Hill sales office in Berwick Waters, is a half completed house by collapsed builder Watersun Homes.

In contrast, Rawdon Hill continues on a sure financial footing four decades from its humble beginnings in Scott Street, Cranbourne.

Geoff maintains the secret to Rawdon Hill’s success is simple.

“Just be nice,” he said, smiling.

“A hands-on approach also helps.

“I’ve had no regrets over the 40 years, that’s for sure.”

Saving for a deposit is the topic of conversation among news media and our politicians.

We are constantly hearing how the market is so unattainable due to sky rocketing house prices, and the difficulty our young people have in saving for a deposit.

Industry leaders have had plenty to say, including a brash young property mogul who has declared young people need to skip the overseas trips and the weekly smashed avocado breakfast to help themselves save enough to purchase a home.

Is he right? Or is he just a precious brat fed from the silver spoon of mum and dad with no real appreciation for the struggle of everyday young Australians?

Each circumstance is unique and different - nothing is necessarily right or wrong.

Yes - there are some things the older generations need to take responsibility for in relation to societal and financial issues we presently face, but relying heavily on the bank of mum and dad to fund our youth out of the ‘affordability crisis’ is not necessarily the right answer.

The most recent Federal Budget proposal of utilising a portion of superannuation as an additional

savings incentive is a good way to encourage strong financial behaviour to assist in saving for a deposit. But there are other things young people can do to help themselves into a home.

From experience, we deal with people from all walks of life who have been exposed to all types of situations and circumstances.

The decisions we make now cannot be blamed on our forefathers - the first step is taking responsibility for our actions. Was buying that $50,000 car without any savings the wise choice for your short-term, medium-term and long-term financial goals? Was taking out that $10,000 credit card to pay for the trip overseas you couldn’t already afford the right move?

Next time you are thinking of unnecessarily upgrading your car or taking out a personal loan to go on a holiday, ask yourself - can I really afford this? Do I really need this? Can I live in my car? Can I afford to save for a house and pay off my personal loan when I get home from my holiday?

If you are answering no - then you are jeopardising your own financial future for short-term pleasure and long-term pain.

In order to save for a home, you require discipline, financial maturity and financial responsibility.

Once you get your home, if the need desperately arises to buy the car or go on a holiday you can easily refinance with equity.

The smart money lies in working hard and saving today to get your home, so you can enjoy the rest of your life tomorrow.

SPORT What will be will be, says D’Arcy

By Nick Creely Riley D’Arcy is a powerful, imposing forward cut from the same cloth as St Kilda sharpshooter Tim Membrey.

The 17-year-old, who plays his footy with the Rowville Hawks and the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup, shares some startling similarities with the dangerous marking forward, who averages almost two goals per games across his 38game AFL career to date.

They both stand just a tick under 190cm, and despite not being conventional power forwards, have a natural knack of kicking bags of goals and taking commanding contested marks with their bulky frame.

“I’m that medium type forward, quite Tim Membrey like and will play key if they need me to be, but usually I’m encouraged to go up the ground and play across half-forward,” he said.

“My contested marking in all areas of the ground is my greatest strength - I’m playing that centre half forward role and deep if needed - I wouldn’t mind playing a bit of midfield, that’d be good, too.”

In six games of the TAC Cup this season, D’Arcy has kicked 12 goals - including a five-goalhaul against Calder Cannons, a performance that included three contested marks and 15 disposals.

He first caught the eye in 2017 when playing the Vic Country trials in April - where he is part of the initial squad - with a brilliant performance in the second Vic Metro v Vic Country match.

D’Arcy collected 19 disposals, six marks (two contested), three inside 50s, four goals and a score assist, forcing the recruiters watching to reshuffle their boards and find out more.

But right when the momentum was all steaming his way, he was struck down by an unfortunate

“I had my appendix out last Tuesday night - it’s been a bit sore - it’ll probably be about another

three weeks out at this stage,” he said.

Although D’Arcy is now shining up forward, he was initially knocked back from the Stingrays, forcing him to work harder and

EFL remains at the top of the metropolitan league

By Nick Creely AFL Victoria has released the official rankings for the 2018 Worksafe AFL Victoria Community Championships following a highly successful 2017 competition on Saturday 13 May. The Eastern Football League (EFL) has remained the number one ranked metropolitan league in Melbourne following its two-point win over Essendon District Football League (EDFL), and will now play off with Geelong FNL next year for the overall state number one ranking.

In the ripping contest at Bayswater Oval, which featured a string of Noble Park and Rowville players, the EFL jumped out of the blocks before the EDFL rose to life and almost clinched the victory.

In what is set to be the most hotly anticipated match in memory next year, the two are likely to play on the MCG similarly to Geelong’s match with Mornington Peninsula Nepean this year.

The Southern FNL continues to climb the rankings, and is now into 22nd after defeating Central Highlands in a brilliant match of footy in Lyndhurst, while the South East FNL lost its first game in six years, and has subsequently dropped down to 13th on the rankings.

Here is a full list of the 2018 rankings: 1. Geelong FNL 2. Eastern FL 3. Mornington Pen.NFL 4. Northern FL 5. Essendon DFL 6. Ovens & Murray FL 7. Western Region FL 8. Ballarat FNL 9.

even change local clubs.

“I didn’t play Under 16s at the Stingrays in 2015 - I didn’t get the invite down - I didn’t think I’d make it, but kept working and, yeah, got there in the end when I received a letter as a bottom-age player,” he said.

“I played most of my junior footy at Narre Warren, and then made the move to Rowville in Under 15s - it’s a great club and part of the reason why I’m even at the Stingrays now.”

Outside of football, D’Arcy is a student - currently in Year 11 and looking to get into the trade industry down the track.

“I’m doing VCAL at Rowville Secondary College, and then on Wednesday’s at TAFE doing carpentry, which is great for me,” he said.

But his definitive dream is to have his name read out in November’s AFL Draft, but won’t let the pressures that sometimes come with the year faze him.

“Well, the obvious goal is to get drafted, but if that doesn’t happen then, hopefully, I will get the chance to get a VFL pre-season and start my journey - I don’t really feel the pressure to be honest; I just take everything as it goes,” he said.

“I’m just hoping to make the final squad (Vic Country), but I’m not too fussed if I don’t, it’s not the end of the world - I’m still at the Stingrays and if I keep playing good games the rest will take care of itself.

As for his teammates at the Stingrays, he said the trio of Oscar Clavarino, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Hunter Clark are all massive chances of going fairly high in the draft.

“It’s pretty exciting to see those three do what they do (on field) - I’m great mates with all of them and, hopefully, they all get picked up, but they are just great guys and footballers” he said.

Rangers pair in World squad Star Dandenong Rangers’ players Amelia Todhunter and new recruit Carley Mijovic have been named in the Australian squad for the upcoming FIBA 3x3 World Championships.

The tournament, which will be held in France from 17 June to 21 June, will feature a further two WNBL players - Nadeen Payne (Bendigo) and Rebecca Cole (Melbourne Boomers).

“The competition will be fierce but we know these players will equip themselves well in a format of the game that is gaining momentum as a high-performance pathway,” said Jan Stirling, General Manager of High Performance.

“The selection process involved nominations from all WNBL club head coaches before a panel of current WNBL coaches with input from former Opals coach Carrie Graf identified the team.”

Todhunter, 28, a defensive specialist, rose in the WNBL ranks last season with arguably her finest season, showing great tenacity around the court.

Todhunter was a critical member of Larissa Anderson’s runners-up team, and is one of the rising stars of women’s basketball.

Mijovic, 22, who has been around the WNBL courts for seven years with the Rangers, Canberra Capitals, Adelaide Lightning and then finally back to the Rangers, will add vital experience to the squad.

The Australians are currently ranked 19th in the world rankings, and will be hoping to finish higher than their quarter finals finish last year.

Greats to lay it all on the line The stage is set for one of the biggest nights on the Australian greyhound racing calendar at Sandown Park this Thursday after the box draws were complete for the three Group 1 classics.

One of the greatest fields of staying greyhounds has been assembled for the world’s richest staying race, the $250,000 RSN927 Sandown Cup. The field features four group 1 winners including three-time group 1 winners Fanta Bale and Dundee Osprey, and kennelmates Burn One Down and Trip To Eden.

Combined, the finalists have won almost $2m in prize money.

Burn One Down continues to do everything possible to prove just how amazing he is after running down Victoria’s in form chaser Dundee Calypso in the third heat of the cup last Thursday.

Aiming for a fifth consecutive victory, Dundee Calypso received the clear run after jumping a length in front of the field, but it was Burn One Down who broke that winning streak after negotiating through the 715-metre field.

“He had to work pretty hard tonight and has run down a good dog in Dundee Calypso but he is just a freak,” co-trainer Jason Thompson said.

“What do you say about him? They run home in 11.18 and he was four off it and probably broke 11 in the run home with no work in the lead up he is unbelievable.”

Next week in the Group 1 feature, Dundee Osprey and Fanta Bale will be fighting it out in hope of adding another achievement to their resumes winning group races over all three distances.

“When you look at Dundee Osprey’s sectionals they were all really good tonight,” trainer Geoff Scott-Smith said.

“When you look at his form of late it looks a bit mixed but he has been up against some really good dogs and it is hard to stay on top. It is amazing that he is still going so well.”

The heats of the Group 1 Harrison-Dawson and Group 1 Sapphire Crown were also held. The Bill Collins Speed Star again proved an excellent form reference with four heat winners emerging.

Stingrays heading north after an easy Eastern triumph

By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 8 From start to finish, the Dandenong Stingrays dominated in all facets of the game.

Indecisive ball movement, a lack of tackling pressure and an inability to convert have plagued the highly rated Rays in recent weeks, but they finally found their mojo.

And in Saturday morning’s empathetic 63-point win over Eastern Ranges at Shepley Oval, the Rays moved to a 4-4 record, keeping their season alive.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the Rays this season, who despite playing some electrifying football in patches, have often been overran and exposed around the ground.

But after a week of soul-searching, the Rays came out blazing, kicking the first two goals early in the contest to hold a narrow lead at quarter time over the inconsistent Ranges, a side looking to keep its season alive.

After the Ranges opened their account in the second with a goal to Kaleb Van Beek, the Rays went berserk, piling on seven goals in a dominant 14-minute patch, to take a commanding 49-point lead into half time.

And despite the game stagnating in scoring as the tempo upped an ante, the Rays went into the final change 41-points clear of the Ranges and eyeing a potentially season defining four points.

With a bit of party time in the last, small forward Jai Nanscawen (four goals) feasted on the impressive work of the midfield group to snag three final term goals, in what has been an impressive rise for the Rosebud youngster.

In Nanscawen’s seven games in the 2017 season, he has kicked 14 goals.

Others to impress were the highly consistent Mitch Cotter, who is relishing plenty of midfield time and constantly gave his team drive, while Lachlan Young kicked two goals and looked classy, and tall forward Tom Dekoning bounced back from a few lean weeks, kicking four goals.

While in defence, Angus Paterson continues to

shine in a key position role, playing another stellar game. Standing 198cm, Paterson has filled the void left by Oscar Clavarino, with his intercept marking particularly impressive.

Next Sunday sees the Stingrays travel up to Bendigo to face the Pioneers, in what looms as a huge clash for both sides.

With the Pioneers just a game off the bottom, they will be desperate for a more improved performance, while the Rays sit just a game outside the top four.

Yankee fan Angelo is just dandy

By Russell Bennett Hampton Park baseball young gun Angelo Reale Rontos has more than a few things in common with his idol, retired New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter.

He’s got a roaring competitive spirit, has supreme self-belief, and has an unending work ethic.

And he’s also spent time playing at short-stop.

One day soon he may also reach the world stage playing the sport he loves.

The Hampton Park Secondary College student - who plays for Dandenong and has also had stints at Pakenham and Mulgrave - will next month head to Lismore as part of the Southern Mariners’ under-12 Little League baseball team for the Australian Nationals - a precursor to the Little League World Series in America.

The 12-year-old rising star is already a relative veteran of the sport after starting in tee-ball.

Angelo used to live near the club at Dandenong and every time he made his way down there, he’d be hell-bent on staying.

Over his journey, he tried his luck as a pitcher before finding his groove as a catcher and hitter.

“You need good reflexes to be a catcher,” he said.

“You need to be like a wall.”

But Angelo also takes pride in his throwing ability and picking off players running between bases.

He was one of more than 50 youngsters who tried out for the Mariners side that ultimately competed in, and won, the state titles.

Next up - Lismore’s nationals.

Angelo has friends playing at various clubs throughout the south-east, but at Dandenong with a great group of team mates and coaches he’s found a home.

But he’s not resting on his laurels any time soon - particularly with the lure of ultimately

Dandenong baseballer Angelo Reale Rontos is part of the Southern Mariners squad set to compete in the under-12 nationals in Lismore in June. 168592 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT competing in the United States.

“I’m always working on my hitting,” he said.

“I try to keep balanced and keep my head down, and sometimes just go for the safe hit and not worry about the home run.”

He plays baseball through the summer and

winter, and plays softball in the summer too through which he’s earned School Sport Victoria honours as part of the under-12 state team that came in third place.

The speedy young left-handed hitter with a strong right throwing arm needs support to con-

tinue on his baseball journey - which isn’t cheap, and involves plenty of travel; both interstate and overseas.

MOTORING New Sport’s no stuck in the mud Range Rover Sport SVR is one of hardest accelerating 4WDs on the planet.

Its 405 kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8 has it screaming from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.

This is a genuine off-road vehicle that can handle harsh conditions that would have many so-called competitors stuck within the first few metres.

For example, wheel travel remains identical to the standard Sport, with 260mm at the front and 272 mm at the rear.

Wading depth continues to be to ‘real’ off-road standards 850mm.

So we’ve just spent a week in real world road testing of an SVR, that is boring motorways, clogged peak hour traffic, shopping centre carparks and so on.

Range Rover Sport SVR makes a strong visual statement, including a new front bumper with trapezoidal air intakes.

There’s dark Range Rover script on the clamshell bonnet, which has revised vents.

Its new grille has a dark finish that contrasts with the headlights’ graphics.

And all-new aluminium fender panels incorporate a new design of vents while unique side mouldings add further muscularity.

At the rear there’s a high-level spoiler with a central brake light. The revised rear bumper features a gloss black diffuser and houses the SVR’s quad exhaust pipes.

Inside, the Sport’s sport seats are finished in luxurious Windsor leather with ribbed, quilted centres, Ebony Black top stitching, eye-catching reflective piping, and all feature the Range Rover Sport SVR logo.

Big, bold, and incredibly competent, the stunning Range Rover Sport SVR. MODEL RANGE Range Rover Sport SVR 5.0-litre supercharged petrol five-door wagon: $233,500 (automatic)

Range Rover Sport SVR uses an evolution of the company’s all-aluminium 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine.

It has cast-iron cylinder liners and cross-bolted main bearing caps among other features often found in ultra-high performance engines.

Larger air intakes in the front bumper increase airflow to the two charge-air coolers.

This reduces the temperature of pressurised air generated by the supercharger before it enters the engine thus producing high performance even in extreme conditions.

The eight-speed ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission has been optimised and now receives additional torque in its lower gears.

We fell in love with ‘our’ Range Rover Sport SVR, not only because of the virtually instant acceleration provided by a supercharged engine

- no turbo lag here - but also because it sounds the part.

The SVR has a two-stage active exhaust featuring electronically controlled valves.

A racecar-like soundtrack produces a purposeful, modulated pulsing at lighter throttle openings combined with a higher-frequency, staccato sound as you approach peak performance. Yet it’s not so loud as to upset the neighbours.

In country driving on our favourite test roads we experienced the delights of Range Rover’s Corner Recognition technology.

Among other features it watches steering input and maintains one gear through a bend to provide stability that could have been hampered by unnecessary ratio changes.

It recognises that the bend has straightened and that the driver may then want to accelerate hard. Clever stuff.

Torque Vectoring by Braking is recalibrated over that of the standard Rangie Sport and provides more extreme handling when desired, balancing the distribution of engine torque between the four wheels to reduce any understeer that might try to spoil the fun.

Active-Roll Control (ARC) replaces traditional anti-roll bars and uses actuators powered by a hydraulic pump to reduce body roll, adapting up to 1000 times a second. It’s tuned to behave specifically for the Sport SVR during performance driving.

Cleverly, it automatically reverts to the same software map as other Range Rover Sport derivatives once it senses it’s no longer doing track work.

During testing and development, the SVR recorded a Nordschleife (Nurburgring) lap time of just 8 minutes 14 seconds, a ridiculously fast time for a production SUV. Fuel consumption? Despite my fears voiced at

the end of my January news story on the SVR’s accelerative performance it wasn’t as high as anticipated. Around town it was usually in the nine to 11 litres per 100 kilometres range. When squirted on the open road in twisting hilly roads it got to the mid to high teens.

Efficiency of high-performance engines means they use fuel remarkably well. On motorway running with the eight-speed automatic transmission keeping the engine ticking over at about 1200 to 1500 revs it sipped around seven litres petrol each 100 km. Brilliant.
