Hope for the NDIS Yarra Ranges is the latest Victorian region to undergo change in how disability services are accessed, with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rolling out in the area this month. Though only in the initial stages, the NDIS, which came into effect on Wednesday 1 November, aims to provide a more personal, “face-toface” support service for residents living with a permanent disability. NDIS providers in the Yarra Ranges have accepted there will be teething problems, particularly in the early months, but are confident the rollout will result in positive change. One of the major benefits is the choice offered to service-users, who will now have a greater say in how their allocated funds are used. Melba Support Services chief executive officer, Glenn Foard, said the NDIS would be worth the wait. “We’ve campaigned for it ... we recognised the present system wasn’t working as well as it should, so we’re very excited by the rollout,” Mr Foard said. “The NDIS gives more control to the individ-

ual, choice in how the funds allocated to them is used for their support. This is well overdue and will ensure individuals receive reasonable and necessary support. It represents a huge step forward.” Mr Foard said Melba and NDIS registered providers in the Yarra Ranges had been busy preparing service-users for the change, with many information sessions being conducted. He estimated it would take about six months for the initial transition phase to be completed. “Many individuals will be developing and preparing their first plan. So spreading information is crucial in the early rollout phase,” he said. “It will take a lot of work and time, but we are confident it will provide fundamental support.” Mr Foard added there are already successful case studies within the Yarra Ranges, due to early rollout initiatives. Jane Prentice, the Victorian Assistant Minister for Disability Services, said the roll-out of the NDIS in the Outer East region was an important milestone for people with a disability, their families, carers and the broader local community.

“The NDIS will also generate jobs and local investment, which will ensure people with disability have the assistance they need to help them achieve their goals,” Mrs Prentice said. “The NDIS is one of the largest social policy reforms in Australia’s history, it is already empowering more than 15,000 Victorians with disability, helping them to fulfil their goals and participate in community life.” By July 2019, it is estimated that 105,000 Victorians will have transitioned to the scheme. This includes 76,000 clients from the existing Victorian specialist disability and mainstream systems. The number of people living with disability receiving support in the Outer East Melbourne (Knox, Maroondah and the Yarra Ranges) area is expected to grow from 5700 to 7700 by 2019. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the independent agency responsible for implementing the NDIS. Other local service providers include the Ferntree Gully-based Knoxbrooke.

Meanwhile, Yarra Ranges Council will not be an NDIS provider, but will continue to provide the Home and Community Care (HACC) program, which provides domestic assistance, personal care, respite care, meals on wheels and other services, while State Government funding continues. For more information about HACC, visit www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/hacc. Visit www.ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110 to find out how people with disability, providers and the community can get NDIS ready, or call Latrobe Community Health on 1800 242 696. Melba Support Services will be holding an NDIS information session at its Lilydale office (40-50 Melba Avenue, Lilydale) at 6pm on Thursday 16 November. To register your interest in attending, or for more information, contact 9212 0100. Yarra Ranges residents are encouraged to visit the NDIS website www.ndis.gov.au to find out how to get NDIS ready.

Sunday 26th November, and get blasted by colour, enjoying lots of laughter

The vision that Healesville High School had in establishing their former “excess to needs” core building as an art space was celebrated in an explosion of colour and movement in October with the success of the Art Factory Art Show 2017. Hundreds of school families and community members attended the three-day show which combined outstanding displays of student work and interactive spaces displaying visual arts from painting and sculpture to photography, film, digital media, textiles, metal-work and clay. A large-scale mural branding the ‘Art Factory’ greeted visitors. Healesville artist Paul Sonsie worked with students to design and produce the mural which was launched on the opening night, Wednesday, 25 October. Art Domain Leader and art show organiser Stephanie Opasinis congratulated all the students on the quality and creativity of their work which, she said, had come together to create an exciting and interesting exhibition. Art teacher David Lloyd said the exhibition

Colour, mess and family fun – join Yarra Junction Primary school as they bring

and fun with family and friends. Then, after you’ve enjoyed more mess and fun with the “colour throw”, head over to the Yarra Centre and enjoy the family fun activities and food area, rounding off a great day in the Yarra Valley. “We are excited to bring this event to our community. It’s a big undertaking by our little school, and we hope that the community really gets behind us,” says volunteer Event Manager’s, and parents of the school ,Melinda Darwall and Terez Annis. “It’s a great way to spend family time outdoors and being active and will also help our school build a new playground for the children of Yarra Junction Primary School.” Registration is made on line, and includes a t-shirt for participants over 4yrs. Please go to FACEBOOK.COM/YJPSCOLOURTRAIL to sign up and be part of the fun of the 2017 Yarra Valley Colour Trail.

The interactive artspace was an explosion of colour and technology. 174740 was a reflection of the diverse opportunities for students to engage in arts at the school with traditional arts working alongside skills such as metalwork and textiles. “The variety of art on display here says something about the kids,” he said. “We endeavour to provide as much variety as possible for the students and you can see the results here.”

Plea for green at any cost By Kath Gannaway Healesville Action Group (HAG) is weighing in on the latest debate around the future of Healesville Green. Yarra Ranges Council is running a second residents’ survey on whether the council should buy the VicTrack-owned land to retain as green open space, or rezone to allow for commercial development. An original survey showed overwhelming support for retaining the land, but a revised valuation by the State Government Valuer-General from $400,000, on which the survey was based, to $1.18M, council believed, called for a second look at the proposal. HAG chair John Anwin said the group believed that despite an increase in the cost to ratepayers, the investment on behalf of Healesville community would be “money well spent”. “If this purchase doesn’t proceed, that option is lost forever,” he said. HAG is however backing another strategy flagged in the Mail last week by long-time supporter of the ‘keep it green’ option, Healesville resident Ray Donkin. Mr Donkin argued that the State Government should gift the land back to the Healesville community. Mr Anwin said their inquiries opened the door for a potential compromise. “One of the things that has come to light is that VicTrack has a clause in their operations whereby they support community groups and the community generally as a social responsibility,” he said. “If the Valuer-General could have another look at it (the value) and could establish that the $1.18M is a bit high, with a more realistic value being around $800,000, then VicTrack under their social responsibility could look at making a grant

that would bring the price closer to the $400,000 on which the Healesville community made its wishes clear.” Another avenue, Mr Anwin said, would be to look at how VicTrack acquired the land and whether it would be reasonable then that it should just be handed back. He said HAG supported Mr Donkin’s suggestion that residents made their views known to the ministers involved, Tim Pallas (treasurer) and Jacinta Allen (transport). “This land was bought with taxpayer money and as a good will gesture, if nothing else, it should be returned to the Healesville community, preferably at a nominal figure, or at least a discounted rate,” he said in a letter to the Mail this week (see page 6). “This is one level of government dealing with another level, it should not be viewed as an opportunity for one level of government to raid the coffers of another.” Cr Fiona McAllister said if council did buy the land, the funds would likely be funded in part from the Ryrie Ward Public Open Space Fund which currently has $664,000 available. Cr McAllister moved to clarify some concerns that if the land were purchased with those funds, other planned projects in Healesville, such as the upgrade to the Queen’s Park playground, would be impacted. “That funding is there for Ryrie, for open space, and that can be used for anything from a contribution towards a new aquatic centre, a block of land or whatever is deemed to be the best use,” she said. “It still needs a decision of council,” she said, adding that there are numerous other sources of money for works such as playgrounds and pathways.

Giving them shelter

201727013-DJ27-17

Healesville’s cricket and junior football players now have more social space and shelter for spectators on game days. Following extension works organised by the Federal Government and Yarra Ranges Council, the Queens Park sporting pavilion has been extended by six metres and has had its canteen relocated. There has also been additional shelter constructed in recent months. Toby Millman, football club president said the works had provided a much-needed covered area for spectators. “It will be great for cricket but also football too, it’s just better,” he said. “They have extended the verandah, and even during footy, there was a really limited undercover area, and this has created this whole area where we can stand and it's created more space inside the clubroom too.” Steve Ebbels, cricket club vice-president also commented on the vast improvements of the canteen area. “The canteen size itself is three times what it was,” he said. “You can see the ladies in there now; they have more space, not as crammed in and it's a bit more hospitable."

Cr Fiona McAllister with HAG members, from left, Alan Morris, John Anwin, Arthur Harford and John Rosser. “It doesn’t mean we don’t get these things, but we need to ask, what is most important to the community.” Cr McAllister said the Valuer-General would be carrying out a second valuation on the Green Street land.

The extension follows a funding commitment of $75,000 from the Federal Government along with $25,000 from Yarra Ranges Council.

A three-car collision near Oakridge Winery on Sunday led to the closure of the Maroondah Highway for an hour. It is believed a car rear-ended another vehicle that was turning into Oakridge, and pushed it into the oncoming lane resulting in a head-on collision. Luckily, no one was seriously injured, but ambulances did transport the five people involved to hospital. An Ambulance Victoria Spokesperson told The Mail that five patients were assessed at the scene, one of whom was transported to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition. Three others were transported to Maroondah in a stable condition with minor injuries. In July 2012, a similar incident at the same location had Yarra Valley residents calling for a reduction in the speed limit to 80km/h.

Nyora Road crash A collision on Nyora Road on Friday night was more than it seemed. Around 10.30pm on Friday night, Yarra Junction attended a call-out to an accident on Nyora Road, Healesville. Two drivers in their fifties were involved ina collision, and police allege that the female driver had struck the rear of the other car. It is alleged that the male driver acted errati-

cally, and promptly left the scene prior to police arriving. Police then attended the driver’s house where a preliminary breath test returned a positive alcohol reading. The man refused to accompany police to the station for the purpose of evidential breath testing. Charges are pending, and the driver will attend court at a later date for refusing to accompany police for an EBT.

Theft of trailer A tradie trailer containing tools was stolen during business hours on Tuesday 31 October on Little Chipping Drive, Chirnside Park. The trailer was displaying rego plates V02309 at the time of the theft. Anyone with information about it is urged to contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2401.

Drug possession A 40-year-old Silvan man was arrested by Mount Evelyn police in relation to possessing cannabis and heroin on 1 November. The man has been bailed, and will appear at Ringwood Magistrates' Court at a later date. If you have any information, contact Mooroolbark police on 9725 9999 or Lilydale police on 9739 2300.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VCE time The state of

affairs Cindy McLeish MP Member for Eildon Spring is taking full life in the Yarra Valley, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a busy time for communities right across our region. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an especially busy time for VCE students completing their final exams before embarking on their post high-school lives. So I want to take this opportunity to wish our students the best of luck and to congratulate them on completing their 13 years of schooling. Staying in touch with our local schools is very important to me. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I have been regularly meeting with principals across the Yarra Valley to hear what is happening in their schools. Unfortunately, I am hearing that despite the

strength of our school communities, some of our school buildings are a little worse for wear, and I am disappointed the State Government is failing to be responsive to the needs of our schools. A great education gives our kids opportunity and the chance to choose their own future. Our schools do a terrific job teaching our kids, often in very challenging conditions, but that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in second rate buildings. To continue providing students a great education in our region, the Victorian Labor Government needs to step up and provide the funds urgently required to modernise our schools. Not only do modern buildings provide a better learning environment, they also provide a safer environment. So over the coming months, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be calling on the government to improve the condition of our schools which will also include safety on our roads. After three years of community campaigning, the government continues to ignore the need for electronic 40km/h speed signs at Woori Yallock and Wesburn primary schools. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not good enough because safety should be the first priority of every government.

Ridgefield garden bliss By Kath Gannaway Ridgefield, the enchanting garden of Warwick and Paulette Bisley, will be open to the public on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November in conjunction with Rotary Richmond and Healesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worawa Aboriginal College.

Opinion Green Street purchase HAG has been an active supporter of the purchase of the parcel of land at 13 Green Street from the first application by VicTrack for rezoning five years ago. The community has made it quite evident through the Healesville Structure Plan recommendations and the recent survey conducted by the shire, that the purchase of this land should proceed. While the original indicative price of $400,000 provided by VicTrack, has grown to $1.18m by the State Valuer-General, and this has taken some understanding, we still believe this would be money well spent. From comments that this expenditure would impact the funds available to Ryrie Ward for open space improvements, we believe that if this purchase does not proceed, the option is lost forever, unlike just a delay to improvements of existing open space. We understand that the Victorian Railways purchased the land in 1887 for 50 pounds ($100) as part of the rail line reservation to Wilson Street, with the original lease to the Shire of Healesville commencing in 1980. We see this as an opportunity for VicTrack to return this land to the Healesville community at a discounted price as a part of their community responsibility. VicTrack are a very profitable State Government enterprise which makes grants to communities and this would be a great opportunity for them

This land was bought with taxpayer money and as a goodwill gesture, if nothing else, it should be returned to the Healesville community, preferably at a nominal figure, or at least a discounted rate. This is one level of government dealing with another level, it should not be viewed as an opportunity for one level of government to raid the coffers of another. John Anwin, Healesville Action Group.

Historic but relevant Yarra Glen and District Historical Society at its meeting this Sunday, 12 November, will look at the question of how the society remains relevant and significant to our evolving community. The YGDHS was established in 1973 by a generation whose memory extended back to World War I, who were primarily comprised of farming families and with connections to the early British selectors. Looking forward to the 2020s the local population is rapidly growing and changing due to

immigration and changes in local and regional economies. Workshops and grants are available to train volunteers in the skills required, but we need volunteers to take advantage of these programs. Opportunities are available for young people to gain skills and experience, or retirees looking to ‘give back to the community’ or just to use skills no longer utilised in previous employment. Those skills include maintenance and development of our online encyclopedia www.yarraglenhistory.com.au, digitisation of photographs, cataloguing and storage of all sorts of materials, local history research, collation and interpretation, advertising and promotion of society services and events and preparing and mounting displays to support local events. We are inviting members of the community to attend our next meeting at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall at 1.30pm on Sunday, 12 November to discuss the society’s relevance to the community, what the community requires of its historical society and how it can meet the needs of the community. Anyone who is interested in finding out more can contact 0429 006 152. Helen Mann, Secretary, YGDHS.

Stop the talkfest The political talk and diversions continue at national level. Endlessly. Meanwhile on Manus, 440 men, acknowledged as refugees, and approx 140 others (asylum seekers still) await their fate, four years after arriving. Still costing $500,000 per person per year, still batted between a bullying Australia and a resolute PNG. Australia is the country that put them there UNHCR says the men are Australia’s responsibility. How many years of punishment are required by the rich Christian country? There are 60 million refugees in the world today. Not so amazing is it that other countries are not putting up hands to take the Rohingyans, Iranians and others who arrived on our shores as young men. Meanwhile what about the people smugglers - normally it is the perpetrators who pay, not the victims. A strange political stage indeed! And us the ones paying out. Kerry Nicholas, Rural Australians for Refugees, Warburton.

Five Upper Yarra CFA brigades and the Upper Yarra SES have each received donations of $2000 from the Upper Yarra Community Market. Representatives of Reefton, Yellingbo, Yarra Junction, Little Yarra and Hoddles Creek fire brigades, and Upper Yarra SES gathered at the Sunday market in October for a presentation of cheques by market president Marie Marshall. The market is held twice a month at Yarra Junction, with all stallholder fees going to support local emergency service groups.

Ms Marshall said the $12,000 was raised over three years. “It’s a great feeling as a market committee to be able to pass on this money, and it’s great for the community to support such a worthwhile cause as our local emergency services. “I would like to thank our stallholders, and regular supporters of the market who make this possible,” she said. Yellingbo Captain Paul Spinks echoed the thanks of the brigades and SES, saying the money would be put to good use contributing to critical infrastructure and equipment.

Healesville sounds sweet It’s that time of year again in the Valley, when the Yarra Valley Musicians Collective and the Healesville Music Festival Committee bid a warm welcome to the Healesville Music Festival 2017. For the eighth year running, Healesville will be transformed from a hub of wine and furry animals, to a centre of local, national and international music. From 10 to 12 November, magnificent music will emanate at pop-up street-side performances, at the town’s many cafe venues, as well as at the cultural hub of the Memorial Hall. Canadian troubadour Scott Cook will front the ever-growing festival line-up, which this year will also feature a variety of acts from solo singer-songwriters to full-blown orchestras complete with ukuleles. Other performers on the bill include the brassladen big sounds of the Northern Folk, the piercingly sweet tunes of the Frencham Smith Trio, barnstorming locals The Humbuckin’ Pickups, rising star Didirri and awesome blues guitarist Lloyd Spiegel, winner of four Australian Blues awards in 2016. But it’s the extra, left-of-centre events that have made this volunteer-run music festival stand out from other annual events. A classic, whipcrackingly good bush dance will once again turn any shy child (or adult) into a heel 'n’ toe aficionado, and, for the first time, the Barking Spider Visual Theatre will be workshopping their unique “Scratch and Trash Orchestra”. The town’s Healesville racecourse will again accommodate campers staying for the weekend. It’s a setting that’s proved itself perfect for impromptu acoustic sessions, and is a free shuttle bus ride away from the centre of town. This year will see the introduction of a free Saturday market at the racecourse with an evergrowing list of stallholders.

Once in every two years, the mountaintop community of Moora Moora near Healesville throws open the gates to welcome all to a celebration of diversity and unity, of sense of place, and sense of community. On 17-19 November, this year’s EarthArtBeat Festival will be home to three days of amazing performances, exhibitions, activities and space for togetherness. Festival highlights include popular Melbourne act 8 Foot Felix, featuring soaring vocals, triumphant horns and deep bass grooves that fray the fabric of time and space in the best of pirate tradition. Womad performer, Ganga Giri, takes listeners into a deep primal soundscape summed up by Peter Gabriel - “I loved the mix of his ancient and primitive instrument with a wide range of great dance grooves.” Mel Webb and Kylie Morrigan bring an intimate experience of vocal adventurism, beat boxing, and soaring strings to draw their audience into a their quirky and exhilarating musical world. The place and the belonging that is Moora Moora is integral to the festival. Moora Moora is an intentional and off-grid community of about 70 people living on 650 acres overlooking the Yarra Valley. The community was established 40 years ago and still holds a core commitment to environmental care and social change. Festival workshops include discussions on

This one’s zombie-riffic Train to Busan (MA15+) Starring: Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi and Kim Su-an Train to Busan is a South Korean horrorthriller film following a group of people stuck on a moving train with a horde of the undead, as a zombie outbreak sweeps the nation. Almost every aspect of Train to Busan is pitch-perfect, from the writing to the tension and carnage. Train to Busan generates an intense feeling of unease from its first moments, and while it mostly takes place in well-lit train carriages, the film is deeply suspenseful due to the relentless savagery of the zombies and how attached we become to its characters. Several of the main characters embody certain archetypes, including the workaholic father, the boorish husband and the selfish businessman, but

all of them have engaging depth and distinctive personality beyond their basic templates, and they all change or grow in some tangible way. Every plan or action, while charged with fear and desperation, feels logical, and the zombies operate on clear rules that the characters learn convincingly. The film also makes a poignant statement on paranoia, and how crisis can degrade - or reaffirm - our humanity. The violence is gory but not excessive, and the action scenes are superbly structured, with clear sense of landmarks and where every entity is coming from in each scene. Train to Busan is a riveting, finely-crafted experience that further demonstrates what a powerhouse South Korea has become in the dark thriller genre. - Seth Hynes

Where and when to remember them RSL sub-branches throughout the Yarra Valley will conduct services on Remembrance Day Saturday, 11 November. Services honour all those who have died in war, but this year will especially reflect on significant anniversaries including the centenary of Beersheba in WW1 and the 75-year anniversaries of El Alamein and the Kokoda campaign in WW2. Beersheba was the scene of an historic charge by the 4th Light Horse Brigade on 31 October 1917. The Light Horsemen of the 4th and 12th Regiments charged the Turkish trenches in a surprise attack that carried them through the Turkish defences. Vital water supplies were saved and over 1000 Turkish prisoners were taken. El Alamein was one of World War Two’s decisive battles. The main battle was fought from 23 October to 5 November 1942 when the British Eighth Army, which included the Australian Ninth Division, launched a major offensive against German and Italian forces. This year also marks the 75th anniversary of the Kokoda campaign. From July 1942 to early 1943, Australian troops in the Owen Stanley Range and on the beaches of northern Papua saw some of the most desperate and vicious fighting encountered in the Second World War. Remembrance Day is a day to pause and remember those who gave their lives and one way in which this will be honoured is by the laying of poppies and reciting of the poem “In Flanders Fields”. Poppies were first sold in England on Armistice Day in 1921 by members of the British Legion to raise money for those who had been incapacitated by the war. The practice began in Australia the same year, promoted by the Returned Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Imperial League of Australia, now the RSL. Since 1921 wearing a poppy has enabled Australians to honour the promise “We will remember them”. Remembrance poppies will be sold through local RSL sub-branches in the lead up to Remembrance Day.

The REIV’s September quarter figures show that the top 10 most affordable towns in Victoria all recorded median house prices below $235,000. The Latrobe Valley in Gippsland was home to the state’s most affordable locations, accounting for four of the top 10 towns. With a median house price of just $118,000 - less than half the statewide

median of $385,000 - Churchill was the state’s most affordable town. Nearby Morwell and Moe also offered buyers an affordable entry point to the market with median house prices of $182,000 and $189,000 respectively. Despite their affordability, both towns have experienced solid capital growth over the year with Morwell’s median house price increasing by 14.5 per cent while house prices in Moe are up 9.2 per cent on the same period last year. Newborough was another Gippsland town that offered buyers value for money, with a median house price of just $230,000.

Buyers on a budget should also consider the state’s western districts including Stawell where the median house price is currently $200,000. This is up 4.2 per cent on September 2016 figures. Horsham and Hamilton also offered affordable alternatives with median house prices of $212,000 and $225,000 respectively. Other areas offering value for money include Red Cliffs, Maryborough and Benalla with median house prices of $209,500, $210,000 and $233,000 respectively. Meanwhile, Mildura has recorded the state’s highest turnover of homes

this year with 547 sales. Located in the state’s north west, Mildura is also affordable with a median house price of $255,000. This was followed by Traralgon which recorded 373 sales and a median house price of $295,000. High sales volumes was also evident in Warragul (281 sales), Drouin (265 sales) and Ocean Grove (247 sales).

UNLOCKED: THE VALUE MARKET GROWTH OF THE FAMILY HOME MODERATES CITYWIDE HAVING a home can be a great step in securing your family’s financial future. With your own home there are so many options open to you, options such as: •฀ Using real estate as an investment for you and your family’s future. •฀ Using your home equity for your next home purchase. •฀ Helping a family member into their first family home. If you’re at a stage where you would like to consider the options open to you and your family then getting some valuable advice and information from a team of experts is critical. A free property seminar run by Woori Yallock and District Community Bank branch has speakers who will share their extensive knowledge and experience relating to the legal considerations, taxation issues, financing options and the local real estate market. This seminar will provide key information you need to be aware of when considering using your property to build your family’s financial future. The seminar will be held on Monday 20 November, from 6pm to 7.30pm, at the Woori Yallock and District Community Bank office, 1585 Warburton Highway, Woori Yallock. Book a place at this seminar by emailing Anna at admin@wydcom.com.au ●

The seminar will be held on Monday 20 November, from 6pm to 7.30pm, at the Woori Yallock and District Community Bank office, 1585 Warburton Highway, Woori Yallock.

IN good news for homebuyers, the citywide median house price growth moderated in the September quarter as new policy initiatives increased sale volumes at the lower end of the market. New REIV data shows the metropolitan Melbourne house price recorded its lowest increase in almost two years, up just 0.7 per in the September quarter to $817,000. REIV Acting President Richard Simpson said the moderation was attributable to 44 per cent of all sales in the September quarter being below $600,000. “In the June quarter we saw vendors with houses around that $600,000 price point hold off selling in order to capitalise on greater competition from first homebuyers. “These incentives have certainly worked with first homebuyers accounting for 18.3 per cent of all new home loans in August - the highest since September 2013. “Despite the moderation, the market remains strong with the Melbourne median house price up a remarkable 14 per cent on the same period last year. “We’re also seeing buyer demand continue to outstrip supply and a high level of vendor confidence.” Outer Melbourne dominated the top 20 growth suburbs this quarter as buyers looked for affordable entry points to the market. The seaside suburb of Dromana was the

city’s best performing with its median house price increasing 15 per cent on June figures to $790,250. Sunbury, Ringwood East and Diamond Creek also experienced double-digit quarterly growth. “Given the strength of the market at present, buyers are looking for new growth areas which offer value without the need to compromise on amenities or infrastructure. “Increased competition for homes further from the city is boosting the median house price in many of these areas, with all of the city’s most affordable suburbs experiencing significant annual growth.” Mr Simpson added that the city’s inner ring recorded the strongest growth of any region in the September quarter with its median house price increasing 1.5 per cent to just over $1.5 million. “Buyer demand within 10km of the CBD remains strong, which is being supported by a shortage of quality stock.” Apartment prices were also impacted by the Government’s first homebuyer initiatives with the citywide median price falling for the first time in six quarters, down 2.5 per cent to $587,000. Meanwhile, house prices in regional Victoria increased for the third consecutive quarter, up 1.2 per cent to $385,000. ●

Wandin loses legend Strachan By Chris Anderson YARRA VALLEY CRICKET ASSOCIATION Despite cold conditions and persistent Friday night rains, cricket still surged forward across the Yarra Valley for another uninterrupted day of delightful cricket. In the newly structured top grade, the league saw the third instalment of the Strachan Shield/Finger Trophy crossover games. With the untimely passing of Don Strachan, undoubtedly Yarra Valley Cricket Association royalty, it was great to see cricket played in great spirit, with some close results a feature. Unfortunately, Wandin was unable to salute in tribute of their legend, but their spirit was certainly there as they found the going tough on the road against competition leaders Mount Evelyn. Mount Evelyn batted first and from the outset they had the whip handle, courtesy of another fine opening partnership from emerging stars Jesse Fraser and Daniel Giblin. Fraser was superb as the mainstay of the innings as he recorded a memorable maiden century. His partners came and went, as they didn’t have the discipline to capitalise on a string of starts, but Fraser remained firm and dominated his team’s score of 252 with a brilliant 130. The Wandin bowlers toiled hard, and despite the large score, their persistence netted the 10 wickets. Young leg-spinner Jamie Elliott was the main wicket taker with 3/71. The total was always going to be difficult to chase, and that it proved to be. Some lusty blows from James Freeman on his way to a half century frustrated the home team, but with little sustained support from the other end the task proved too great. With the medium pace bowlers having little success, spinner Jon Williams proved to be the game breaker with the tidy haul of 5/28 to finish the contest off and lead his team to a comprehensive 128run victory. Defending champions Warburton-Millgrove seem to be finding their feet again after some early season wobbles. The Burras comfortably accounted for Gruyere in the battle of last season’s best with the Strachan Shield champs taking on the Finger Trophy premiers. The gap between the two competitions has proven to be quite close; but at the top end, Gruyere found it tough to match Warburton-Millgrove’s depth. Batting first, the Scorpion found it tough to build significant partnerships against a relentless Burras attack. The Burras pose threats with both their pace and spin, and this again on show. Experienced spinner Adam Humphrey rarely

gives a batsman an inch and again he suffocated the opposition with 3/16, while David Lever’s control of the swinging ball make him a danger for any opposition. Eventually, an undermanned Gruyere succumbed for 81. The chase proved to hold no fears for the Burras as they chased down the with the loss of only two wickets. Sean Humphrey has proved to b a great acquisition for the Burras as he remained unbeaten on 45. Next week sees an intriguing grand final rematch between the in-form Mount Evelyn and the dangerous Warburton-Millgrove. As has been the case in the other two crossover rounds, the Finger Trophy teams have proven the gap is narrow between the competitions with the second tier teams claiming a top tier scalp in each of the previous rounds. This time it was Woori Yallock who proved that the departure of some big time players over the off season hasn’t dented their finals aspirations with a tight victory against Seville. Batting first, the Tigers were able to post a reasonable total of 9/149 on the back of consistent contributions throughout their innings. Experience at the top proved to be a guiding light as Cal Ferguson (51) and Mick Dwyer (24) gave their team a platform to build on. Seville captain Matt Hadlum (3/29) was again his team’s best bowler as his wickets kept things in check for the visitors whilst he was well supported by Daniel Healy (2/22). Seville gave the chase a fair shake and always had the score moving at the required rate, but regular wickets continually had them under the pump. Without a significant partnership, the total wasn’t given sufficient chance to grow. Ferguson capped off a great game capturing 4/29, and with the support of Adam Dunn (3/43), they were able to hold Seville at bay to record an important 25-run victory. Yarra Glen tasted the bitterness of defeat for the first time this season last week, and a Round 5 meeting against in-form neighbours Coldstream set up an interesting contest. Yarra Glen batted first, and led by captain David Brambilla’s impressive unbeaten 65, they were able to post a more than acceptable 6/146 at a venue notoriously hard to score quickly at. Supported by Andy Cowan (37), Brambilla’s half century was the key to the River Pigs’ innings; it was challenged by an excellent spell of disciplined bowling from the evergreen Leam Doughty who netted 4/45. The home team battled to spark their innings in return as Richard Ellisdon (3/21) matched Doughty’s tidy spell.

In the end, Doughty (35) played a line hand for the Crocs as limited contributions with both bat and ball from his teammates consigned them to a 28-run loss. Perhaps a ‘what could’ve been’ moment for Coldstream as they were close enough if good enough. For Yarra Glen, their promising start to the season continues as they start to build a platform from which finals could be a real possibility in their second year back in the top tier. Yarra Junction also played themselves back into the winners circle, but they did it the hard way against Hoddles Creek. The Eagles batted first, and they stumbled along without any great certainty. Pat Ford (34) and Andy Wear (26) offered some substance to the innings, but like their teammates they were unable to capitalise against some tidy Wombat bowlers. Will Trotter has proven to be a trump card with the new ball with his consistent approach proving difficult for opponents. His five wicket haul ensured the Eagles would find it difficult to kick away, and along with his team-mates, they were able to restrict the home side to a below par 120. Unfortunately for the visitors, they found the going just as tough as their opposition. Playing against his old side, Nick Bark (2/19) was able to tighten the screws on the Wombats, while Wear (2/11) was also miserly. With no batsman scoring over 14, the Wombats were suffocated into submission by a gritty Eagles bowling outfit. The Eagles will be well pleased with their fight and a Round 6 clash against Yarra Glen will give a good insight into how much each of these teams have improved. For the Wombats, a missed opportunity to claim a Strachan Shield scalp. In the final match-up, Healesville proved too strong for Launching Place. Launching Place batted first and after Dermott Fry (3/15) made some early inroads into the batting line up, their innings gathered momentum courtesy of a combination of youth and experience. Young-gun Max Bradley (30) is proving he is capable of standing up to the big boys with an impressive showing, whilst stalwart Stuart Parker (30) proved to be a valuable ally. The pair put on a partnership of 71 before their team’s batting effort was quickly put into a tailspin when their innings as looking to blossom. Scott Hamer (2/18) removed the pair, then a devastating hat-trick from James Shambrook (4/13) quickly saw the innings put to a halt closing at 115. In recent weeks, Brenton Damrow and Scott

Hamer have established a useful partnership at the top for the Bloods, and the combination again proved important in the run chase. Hamer’s half century ensured the home team wouldn’t be challenged as they raced to a seven wicket victory in the 25th over. Lochie Winter-Annette (2/18) gave the visitors something to cheer about with a couple of wickets, but his efforts were forlorn in defeat. DJ Strachan Shield and RA Finger Trophy Mount Evelyn 252 (J.

Motoring Creativity in the concept Seven Toyota concept cars just unveiled reveal a dynamic future of desirable vehicles offering mobility for everyone, including cars that will drive themselves and alternative powertrains that rely on renewable energy. The seven concepts confirm that future Toyota owners will be offered stylish vehicles including a sports car, a premium performance sedan, a flexible off-roader and innovative vehicles that can be operated regardless of a person’s driving ability. Toyota’s show cars present a significant step towards sustainable mobility with fuel-cell and battery-electric powertrains as well as advances in Toyota’s existing hybrid and conventional engine technologies. The concepts build on Toyota’s commitment, as worldwide partner of The Olympic Games and The Paralympic Games, to create an opportunity for people to challenge the impossible and defy their limitations. The seven vehicles are: GR HV Sports Concept: A sports car with a racing-inspired hybrid powertrain. Fine-Comfort Ride sedan and Sora concept bus: Fuel-cell vehicles. Concept-i (four-seat sedan), Concept-i Ride (two-seat city car) and Concept-i Walk (for pedestrian areas): Battery-electric vehicles. Tj Cruiser: A new type of off-roader combining an SUV and a van with petrol and hybrid options. Future motorists looking for a fun open-top sports car with performance derived from Toyota’s latest motorsport-developed hybrid technologies will be tempted by Toyota’s GR HV Sports Concept. High-performance motoring is also central to the Fine-Comfort Ride concept sedan which is designed for a 220km/h top speed, a sprint to

This premium sedan and the Concept-i series of electric cars apply artificial intelligence to recognise emotions and estimate driver preferences, combined with automated driving technology for maximum safety.

In addition to the ground-breaking four-seat Concept-i, Toyota has revealed the two-seat Concept-i Ride that can accommodate anyone including wheelchair users and the elderly, plus the Concept-i Walk for use in areas frequented by pedestrians. Toyota displays show it has not forgotten its off-road heritage with the breakthrough Tj

Cruiser that combines the flexibility of an SUV with the storage capacity of a van, powered by advanced hybrid or petrol engines. The final concept is another fuel-cell vehicle, the Sora concept bus. A production version will go on sale next year, with more than 100 to be introduced ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Used cars can still be safe - check the guide Records from over 7.5 million vehicles involved in police-reported road crashes in Australia and New Zealand between 1987 and 2015 are analysed by Monash University’s Accident Research Centre, and given a one to five star safety rating. “With most new cars of the past decade fitted with advanced safety features, we are now finally seeing more vehicles in the used car segment with crash avoidance systems,” said RACV manager of vehicle engineering, Michael Case. A showcase feature of the Used Car Safety Ratings is the Safer Pick feature, which indicates the safest vehicle in their respective classes. The vast majority of “Safer Pick” cars were manufactured from 2001 onwards, showing the benefits of newer vehicles in terms of safety equipment available.

“It is great to see that a few Safer Pick vehicles are available secondhand for under $10,000. This is a great outcome for young drivers, who are often on a budget and in many cases, tend to drive cars with less safety features - despite the fact that younger drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash,” Mr Case said. The data analysis which takes place for the Used Car Safety Ratings is rigorous, and a vehicle will not receive a rating until it has been involved in at least 100 crashes and at least 20 driver injuries. “Picking the safest vehicle possible should be every driver’s first consideration, and our Used Car Safety Ratings gives buyers the information they need to make this decision,” Mr Case said.

Ensure your next used car meets up to safety standards.

Used cars can offer great value, particularly for those on low budgets who can’t afford showroom expenses. But not all used cars are principally safe - in fact, a driver in the worst rated vehicle in this year’s Used Car Safety Ratings is 10 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than a driver in a vehicle in the safest category. The good news is that there is at least one excellent safety performer awarded the full fivestar rating in every vehicle category in this year’s RACV Ratings, making it even easier for motorists to pick the safest car for their budget. Each year, an alliance made up of governments, motoring clubs including RACV, and safety groups including TAC and VicRoads, gathers used car safety ratings, based on statistics collected from car crashes in Australia and New Zealand.
