Slowdown anger By Romy Stephens
Maroondah Highway users have voiced frustration that speed limits will be reduced to 80km/h between Healesville and Coldtream. 209461 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS A government spokesperson said businesses and residents along the impacted area of the Maroondah Highway indicated support of the reduction. This was due to a lower possibility of rear end and side impact crashes for people entering and leaving properties. “Introducing a lower speed limit on this section of road will drastically reduce the chances of lives being lost as a result of crashes,” the spokesperson said. “We’ve listened to local residents and businesses who were concerned about safety on

this section of the Maroondah Highway, particularly with the increased the amount of tourist traffic and drivers unfamiliar with the area.” Most of the serious injuries that have occurred on this section of the Maroondah Highway in recent years were a result of head-on collisions, due to vehicles drifting onto the wrong side of the road. According to the State Government the new speed limit will add less than two minutes travel time and increase the chance of survival in a head-on crash from 10 per cent to 75 per cent.

for arrival at schools for students,” he said. “In particular for Mt Lilydale Mercy College students who are the last to be dropped off at school.” Mr Sanders said changing the bus timetable would not be a simple solution, with earlier start times adding extra overtime costs. The additional concerns from community stakeholders come after Eildon MP Cindy McLeish called on the Minister for Roads to consult with the community before dropping the speed limit along Maroondah Highway in April.

More calls have come for speed limit changes along the Maroondah Highway to be scrapped until further community consultation takes place. Earlier this year, VicRoads announced road works along the highway would be conducted to improve safety. This included reducing the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h between Coldstream and Healesville. Healesville resident Lucie Oude-Meilink said her son frequently took the bus service along Maroondah Highway to get to school. She said she was frustrated to hear that the State Government claimed road users had been consulted. “For them to say that people have been consulted is dog wash, we have not,” she said. “The people of the town, the users, have not.” “I applaud what they are doing as far as the roadworks, it’s going to definitely add onto the safety. “But they haven’t looked at all aspects and other possible solutions. Is it possible that the weekend is 80km/h but during the week it’s 100km/h?” Ms Oude-Meilink said she believed the speed changes should be put on hold until there is greater understanding of how it will impact the wider community and road users. Meanwhile the general manager of a Healesville-based bus service also raised concerns about the impact speed changes could have on his business. McKenzie’s Tourist Services’ Brad Sanders calculated an extra travel time of 92 seconds due to the speed reduction. He said this would result in reduced time for train connections and a reduction in turn around times. He added that the additional travel time would impact local school students, who would arrive later to school as a result. “School run services are already under pressure with increased traffic in the Lilydale area
STAYING SAFE KEEPS US TOGETHER While some restrictions have eased, limiting our movement everyday means everything. It means we slow the spread of the virus. If we keep working from home and we limit the number of us moving around, we can keep kicking a footy in the park. If we use common sense and keep our distance, we can visit cafes and restaurants. And if we only see those we need to, we’ll keep our friends and families safe.

Calls for logging clarity By Romy Stephens Timber industry associations are seeking more clarity around native timber harvesting legislation following a recent VicForests court case. On 27 May, the Federal Court found that VicForests failed to comply with national environmental laws designed to protect threatened species. In the case between Friends of the Leadbeater’s Possum (FLBP) and VicForests, the court found that logging in 66 areas of habitat critical to the vulnerable Greater Glider and critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum contravened federal law. Justice Mortimer found that logging operations in the Central Highlands failed to comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Timber Production, a requirement under the Regional Forest Agreement (RFA).
RFAs are the basis for the exemption of logging operations from national environment law. The non-compliance with the RFA meant the exemption did not apply and VicForests must comply with national environmental laws. The Australian Forest Products Association CEO Ross Hampton said the livelihoods of workers around the court is at stake if the questions raised by the court decision were not urgently resolved. “Regional Forest Agreements have been in place for more than 20 years and are required by law to be independently reviewed every five years,” he said. “All reviews conducted have found that they are meeting or exceeding all environmental objectives while providing a level of certainty to industry. “Native timber harvesting in Australia is
done sustainably, with the equivalent of just four trees in every 10,000 across Australia’s 132 million hectares of native forest, harvested annually, and then regenerated after harvest. “It is a highly regulated sector, complying with strict environmental protections.” The Institute of Foresters Australia and Australian Forest Growers (IFA/AFG) president Bob Gordon said the organisation supported protection of forest species. However, Mr Gordon said the science used as a basis for the decision needed to be tested and the law needed to be clarified. “In making their decision, the Court appears to have looked at the impacts within discrete coupes, rather than considering the broader landscape context,” he said. “To understand the true impact of management actions, they must be re-looked at as part of a bigger-picture perspective which takes
into account the entire landscape where they took place including the substantial conservation reserve system. “There is extensive legislation that currently exists to how harvesting operations are undertaken in native forests, and this needs to be clarified.” Victorian Association of Forest Industries CEO Tim Johnston also expressed his disappointment at the Court decision in a statement. “It’s a further blow at a time when the added uncertainty of Covid-19 implications runs together with concerns about commitments to meet existing or extending Timber Supply Agreements up to 2024,” he said. “This context means that is essential for industry that the full ramifications of the court’s ruling are assessed and communicated as soon as possible.”
A thankful sign of the times with our care in their hands By Jed Lanyon If you have travelled through Healesville on the Maroondah Highway over the past few months, you would have noticed a nice sign wishing a ‘thank you’ to essential service workers throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The large sign thanks ICU staff, paramedics, nurses, police, supermarket staff, doctors, delivery drivers, pharmacists and chemists who may be passing through the area on their way to or from work. While the sign has stood for months since the early days of the pandemic in March, Star Mail has now found the person responsible for the kind message. Healesville resident Karen Driscoll was inspired to create the sign to inspire positivity after being stood down from her job and volunteer work in early March. “I lost my job really early on,” she said. “All my volunteering was shut down. I was feeling pretty down. “Pretty much everything in my life stopped very suddenly and very early. When other people started to lockdown, I had already been there for a while.” Ms Driscoll worked and volunteered for St. John Ambulance in schools and major events. “I’m someone who gives a lot of my time. By March I had completed 140 volunteer hours or more and suddenly I have nothing to do. “I’ve always found when I’m feeling really down and depressed the thing that helps most in helping other people. With extra time on her hands, Ms Driscoll decided to grab some pieces of wood and paint to start the project. She said many of her friends, who are paramedics, said they feel good when they drive past and see it, while her local chemist keeps a photo of the sign up in the store. “Occasionally we get toots from people driving by.” “It’s just a nice reminder to be kind and show a bit of gratitude. Just because someone

Ms Driscoll said the pandemic had given her time to think and now she has decided to go back to studying at university, while her ‘thank you’ sign will be coming down soon as she relocates.
“Now I have to work out when to take it down ... We finally bought our first house and we’ll be moving in the next month. “I’m just moving down the highway to Narbethong, so it might find a new home.”

Rider fatality
Click-in music fest
A man has died after a motorcycle crash in Hoddles Creek on Sunday 7 June. It’s believed the motorcycle was travelling north on Gembrook-Launching Place Road, about 100 metres south of Grover Road, when it left the roadway and struck a tree about 12.05pm. Sadly, the yet to be identified rider died at the scene shortly after the crash. The incident marks the 99th life lost on the road in 2020. Police are appealing for any witnesses to the crash or anyone with dash cam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
By Jed Lanyon A free live stream concert series is coming for Yarra Ranges music lovers who are missing the live music scene. Healesville Music Festival, in partnership with Yarra Ranges Council, will present freeto-watch Winter Taste Test concerts every Sunday at 5pm throughout June and July. Locals will be able to enjoy live music from some incredible Australian artists performing from their home, straight to yours. While the Healesville Music Festival is typically held in November, the initiative has been brought about in an attempt to support the live music industry and help keep the festival spirit alive. Healesville Music Festival committee president Nadine Cloonan said there remains strong hopes that the regular festival will be able to go ahead later this year. “We are looking into different options for the festival this year, maybe only operating in a limited capacity, which is why we’re using these home sessions to remind locals that we are still here and intend to push on through tough times.” Many of the performers for the Winter Taste Test series are favourites from festivals past, including: Michael Waugh, Sarah Carroll and Shannon Bourne, Charles Jenkins, The Weeping Willows, Tuck Shop Ladies, Liam Gerner, Great Aunt and Tim Woodz and the Dirty Shoes. Sarah Carroll spoke to Star Mail ahead of her virtual concert on 14 June, which she said would mark the first anniversary of playing as a duo with Shannon Bourne. “It will be a special occasion for us and hopefully for everybody watching on,” she said. Since the Covid-19 restrictions came into effect, Ms Carroll said she has performed a few
Tap her on the shoulder Picture: LACHLAN MANLEY similar live streamed performances, but admitted it took some time to adjust to the new format. “There is this weird disconnect when I have attempted to do these live performances online. I’m getting better at it but there’s no palpable energy in the room from an audience that we’re so used to. It means that we have to perform quite differently, but I feel like I know what I’m doing now.” Ms Carroll hopes to see more support from the government for artists who are struggling to find an alternative income stream. At the same time, she says that public support has been tremendous. In addition to their performances, each artist has shared a winter recipe for attendees,
who are encouraged to purchase ingredients from local businesses to enjoy the artists’ favourite meal. Ms Carroll will be sharing her mac and cheese recipe. “It’s always been a family favourite and I have improved it with cauliflower to make it more healthy ... It’s easy, it’s substantial and everybody really likes it. The Winter Taste Test concerts will be live streamed via the Healesville Music Festival Facebook page. Those who wish to help support the performers, are encouraged to purchase merchandise and donate to Support Act, who are raising funds for the many artists financially devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Truck rollover closes Melba The Melba Highway in Yarra Glen was closed for several hours on Friday 5 June following a truck rollover. The incident occurred in the morning between Healesville Yarra Glen Road and MacIntyre Lane preventing traffic from passing in both directions causing significant delays. The truck lost its load of timber requiring local SES units and Victoria Police to attend the scene until the vehicle could be brought upright again According to Lilydale SES, the road reopened after 7pm, about 12 hours after the incident occurred. The driver sustained minor injuries.
With Victorian local government elections proceeding in October 2020 the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) is committed to continuing to support councils and communities in local democracy. The VLGA is unwavering in its support for a diversity of candidates - including women - to stand for election, through its dedicated training programs and resources: Local Women Leading Change and Your Community, Country, and Council. The VLGA, along with other stakeholders is committed to increasing the representation of women in local government and achieving the state government’s target of 50 per cent women councillors by 2025. To reach that target at the 2024 elections, or sooner in 2020, there will need to be a substantial increase in the number of women councillors elected. “At the last local government elections in 2016, a third of the women who ran were successfully elected. To achieve 50 per cent women councillors elected in October, there will need to be about 1000 women candidates,” said Kathryn Arndt, VLGA CEO. Previous evaluations of VLGA projects and local and international research have shown that one of the biggest barriers to women standing for election is the confidence gap that women often need to be ‘asked’, or ‘tapped on the shoulder’ to run. “That is why we are encouraging councillors, former councillors and community groups to ‘tap her on the shoulder’ and ask 5 women to run.” Ms Arndt said. “It is not an endorsement, or alliance but simply the act of ‘tapping a woman on the shoulder may be a catalyst for change.” The VLGA challenges councillors, individuals, and community groups to do their part in fostering more representative and inclusive local governments: by prioritising equity, diversity, and active participation, and encouraging more women to stand.

Draft Local Law opening for comment soon We’ve spent the last of couple years reviewing our local laws, looking for ways to make them simpler and easier for community members to use. During our review, we asked community members to tell us what works – and what doesn’t work – with our current local laws. We received a signiicant amount of feedback about pets, unsightly property, abandoned cars, nuisance issues and short stay accommodation. We heard from hundreds of community members in person and online, and have used their feedback to shape our new Neighbourhood Amenity Draft Local Law (2020). The draft local law proposes changes to: the amount of pets you can keep before needing a permit, the time before Council can take action on cars stored on roads and Council land, alcohol consumption in public and how to balance the importance of short stay accommodation with neighbourhood amenity. Before the local law is inalised in August, we want to know your thoughts. On Tuesday, 9 June, Councillors will discuss the draft local law and it is expected the local law documents will be released for consultation on Thursday, 11 June. Members of the community will then have an opportunity to read the local law on Council’s website and to share their thoughts. Submissions will close midnight, Wednesday 8 July. A copy of the Neighbourhood Amenity Draft Local Law and its accompanying Community Impact Statement will be available at our Lilydale and Upwey community links and on the Council website.
We’ve mapped out Council’s path to reaching zero emissions and we need your feedback on the new Liveable Climate Plan.

Yarra Valley’s gin empire By Jed Lanyon Healesville’s Four Pillars is heading to Sydney as the world class gin producer plans to open at a new location. The new Four Pillars will incorporate a gin shop, a gin lab featuring a working experimental still named Eileen, after co-founder Matt Jones’ mother and a destination cocktail bar, Eileen’s Bar. All three elements will open on June 12 in time for what has unofficially been dubbed as World Gin Weekend. The gin shop on the ground floor will feature all the signature and limited-edition gins that have made Four Pillars one of Australia’s favourite gin producers. Upstairs in the gin lab is the 70L German engineered Carl copper still, Eileen, ready to make small batches of bespoke gin in a subtlylit room that will host bookable gin, distiller and cocktail masterclasses. As is tradition in the Four Pillars world, Eileen is named after Matt Jones’ mother and was located at Four Pillars Distillery in Healesville for the past three years before making its journey to Sydney earlier in May. The lab also features its own full bar sitting proudly beneath four stunning fiberglass sphere pendants, a tribute to the signature four dots of Four Pillars. “At our Four Pillars Distillery home in
Healesville, Cameron (Mackenzie) and his team make the best gin in the world,” Mr Jones said. “When we thought about what we wanted to bring to Sydney, we were determined to take that same passion for making, creativity and experimentation and focus it on the delicious drinks you can make with our gins. And we wanted to serve it all up with our signature love of warm hospitality and beautiful design. “The result is the Four Pillars Laboratory in Surry Hills, a delicious playground for Sydney’s gin lovers and a new bucket list destination for gin fanatics around the world.” Four Pillars experience director Leah Mackenzie said the two-storey freestanding chocolate brick landmark site was appealing to Four Pillars. The building was constructed in 1939 for the Bussell Brothers tea company as Australia shook off the Great Depression. “Essentially we are producers so we love an industrial vibe. So while our Distillery is in Healesville we wanted to still have that ‘maker’ feel here in Sydney. It’s being honest about who we are. “We always want to bring people closer to what we do. In terms of the aesthetic, we looked to combine a bit of edge from Melbourne with the sophistication of Sydney, while allowing the base building to shine.” Four Pillars was named International Gin Producer of the Year for 2019 at the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition in London.

Redwood Forest 209163
Too popular: Sites to close once again By Romy Stephens Parks Victoria will close the 1000 Steps and Redwood Forest for over two weeks due to physical distancing concerns. From 5 June until 11.59pm on 21 June the two popular sites will remain closed under the direction of the Chief Health Officer. The closures will be enforced ahead of the upcoming Queen’s Birthday long weekend. It comes after the 1000 Steps, Redwood Forest and Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens were closed due to unprecedented visitation on 30 May. Police had already been called to monitor the Redwood Forest the weekend prior as locals grew concerned about severe overcrowding as traffic overflowed onto surrounding roads. Despite these attempts to manage social distancing, traffic and public safety concerns, the events have prompted further closures. mailcommunity.com.au
Base of the 1000 Steps. 194342 Spot checks will be conducted to ensure compliance with the closures. A majority of the state’s parks and reserves remain open, however, physical distancing directions are in place. Parks Victoria is urging people to observe physical distancing of 1.5m, not gather in groups of more than 20 people, check the park
is open before travelling and avoid parks that are typically busy on a weekend. Parks visitors are also being urged to carry hand sanitiser, avoid attending a site if the car park is full, stay safe, be prepared for cold weather and clean barbecue facilities before and after use. Yarra Ranges councillor Jim Child said, “Outside of the City of Melbourne, Yarra Ranges is the most visited tourist region in Victoria - and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of. “The last thing we would want to see is outbreaks from hundreds of people visiting an area in the region, which could result in people’s health being at risk and restrictions being re-introduced by the State Government.” Communal areas, such as shared bathrooms and kitchens, remain closed.

A new mental health service, Steps Outer East, will cater for people in Maroondah, Knox and Yarra Ranges. The new service is funded by Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) and provided by Access Health and Community, and its Steps Outer East partners - Carrington Health, Oonah Belonging Place and Inspiro Community Health. Steps Outer East provides a range of mental health services ranging in intensity, based on a consumer’s needs and presentation, with an emphasis on recovery. EMPHN Executive Director Mental Health and AOD, Anne Lyon, said Access Health and Community and partners have demonstrated their ability to work together to provide services to vulnerable people in our community through other EMPHN funded initiatives, including a similar service for our community in the inner-east. “A strong connection with Oonah Belonging Place will also be vital in providing Aboriginal people in our community with mental health services through a trusted Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation,” she said. Dr. Tamsin Short, Senior Manager of Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Services said Steps Outer East provides a vital mental health service for people who could not otherwise afford or access mental health services. “Now, more than ever, it’s important for people to be able to reach out for help and get help,” she said. The service is no cost for people of all ages who are not able to afford or access similar services and who live, work or study in Maroondah, Knox and Yarra Ranges, as well as Aboriginal people from surrounding areas. Services will include group and individual psychological interventions, suicide prevention services, care coordination, dual diagnosis services and peer support. Care teams of experienced mental health workers will work closely with consumers and their carers, families, GPs and other service providers. Collaborative care plans will be developed with consumers to support their recovery and wellbeing. Locations will include Lilydale, Healesville, Maroondah and Knox. Referrals to the service can be made by anyone including GPs, other health providers, schools, social services, other organisations, or people or their carers can refer themselves.

Mt Evelyn’s log cabins Log cabins are more typical of North America than Australia, but Mt Evelyn saw at least three log cabin complexes built a century ago. All stood on the hillside that faces westwards across the Olinda Creek Valley. Commercial artist Clarence Earle bought land on Swansea road in 1917. With help from local timber-cutters Pat and Jim Clancy, Earle brought down messmate logs from the higher slopes of the Dandenongs. He constructed his cabin Wyuna over the next nine years, using the tools of the pioneer broad-axe, adze, and block and tackle. The logs, some of them 60 feet in length, interlocked at the corners, with the spaces between them sealed with a mixture of mortar and hair. The monumental chimney was made from water-worn pebbles from the Yarra. The one exotic element was the huge marble bath. A studio, lodge, power house and bridge were of similar construction to the main cabin. Wyuna became the function centre Chateau Wyuna, where Clarence Earle’s craftsmanship can still be admired. Printer James Paton Beveridge began his cabin Appin, on Commercial Road, about 1919, using logs cut from the heavily timbered site. The central cabin, with two rooms, a stone chimney and shingle roof, was the first to be constructed. A second cabin was then built beside it, consisting of a single long room with another large stone fireplace. A kitchen was added on

Appin has been progressively subdivided, with the smaller cabins and stone gateway now on different properties to the main house. What was probably the caretaker’s cottage still stands behind a house on Johns Crescent. Sometime in the 1920s a nudist association acquired a bush block on David Road and constructed a spacious log cabin. A smaller cabin close to the road served as the gatehouse to the community. Following subdivision, the two cabins ended up on separate titles. Douglas Knox, who stayed at the former gatehouse in the 1950s, was the History Group’s speaker in March. He remembered being shown over the larger cabin, which had a verandah along the front, two lofts, and a huge stone fireplace. The bathroom had a pink sunken bath and a skylight that cast an eerie green glow over the room. The larger cabin burnt down about 1960. The gatehouse was demolished about 1988.

New hospitality centre Aspiring master chefs at Cire Community School’s Yarra Junction campus are cooking up a storm with the opening of a new hospitality training centre. Non-for-profit organisation Cire Services invested over $600,000 in the project as a demonstration of its commitment to providing career pathways for students and the broader community. Cire CEO Gus Seremetis described the project as a stimulus and positive outcome for the whole region, especially given the impact of Covid-19. “Cire Community School offers vulnerable young people a positive alternative to mainstream education,” she said. “The new centre has given our students so much to look forward to and also provides the community with a new resource to create employment pathways, community and social interaction, connection and support. “We are now in an economic recession but we still need to look forward and give our young people hope in the future.” The teacher responsible for hospitality training at the school, Ian Seppings, said the new facility provides students with exciting opportunities for learning real life hospitality skills. “The students helped unpack the equipment and set up the training stations which has given them real ownership and a new sense of pride...I’ve never seen students so enthusiastically wash, dry and put away their dishes,” he said. Yarra Ranges Tourism (YRT) CEO Simon O’Callaghan said crisis situations highlighted the need to have a professional and skilled workforce. “Hospitality and tourism is a big part of our local economy and we welcome any initiative that encourages local young people to consider careers in the sector, rather than viewing it

French sawmill bloodbath with rickety structure Earth and Blood Starring Sami Bouajila, Sofia Lesaffre and Eriq Ebouaney Rated MA15+ Earth and Blood is a tense but unfocused French thriller in which Said (Sami Bouajila) must defend his sawmill from a group of gangsters after he finds their cocaine stashed on his property. Director Julien Leclercq does an effective job of maintaining tension on separate fronts: the central raid on the sawmill, and Said’s daughter (Sofia Lesaffre) fleeing through the woods. The violence is brutal but fleeting and serves the plot, the performances feel authentically low-key, and Bouajila is compelling as a weary but laser-focused older action lead. Said is well-trained and resourceful, but the gang-
sters are still a formidable, organised threat. While the raid is suspenseful and builds to a nervewracking climax, the overall film takes far too long to get going. Earth and Blood’s first-act set-up fills almost half of the run-time and contains several redundant plot-threads, such as Said selling the sawmill and his lung cancer diagnosis. The sawmill has a vague layout, rendering the raid hard to follow, and the film contains several disorienting cuts and a generic, often overwrought score. With strong performances, grueling suspense but severely-backloaded pacing, Earth and Blood epitomizes the expression “it gets better later”, and is available for streaming on Netflix. - Seth Lukas Hynes
It also has a coffee machine area for barista training, an outdoor deck and landscaped gardens, with vegetable beds, to support the hospitality program’s emphasis on ‘paddock to plate’ and healthy eating. It is understood the facility will eventually be used to cater for functions and events and the deck could provide a gathering space for a social enterprise.
Cire Services invested over $600,000 in the new facilities.

Positive purpose By Jed Lanyon

Healesville’s Grand Hotel has fitted out the pub’s exterior with several posters in a bid to lift community spirit. Pedestrians and drivers passing the iconic hotel can easily spot the signage, which has been created by locals to share messages of support for those doing it tough. Healesville resident and pub-goer Kersten Gentle said the idea came from her daughter Nikita, who pitched the idea to the business owners of the hotel. “We recognised how community minded Lisa and Tom are and my daughter said, ‘why don’t we do some posters to brighten up the place as people are walking’ and the response from people has been amazing,” Ms Gentle said. “This town has gone through a lot in the past and I know that if the community comes together now, we will make sure that everyone gets through this. And that’s what these posters are about; making sure that everyone comes through the other end of this pandemic.” Business owner Lisa McKay-Campbell invites locals to design their own A2 posters to display across the pub as they enlist the services of Breen Printing to create their positive posters. Relatives of Ms McKay-Campbell, who were in Mallacoota at the time of the recent bushfires were involved in a similar feat paying respects to the nation’s firefighters. The idea initially started as a home-schooling art class activity but is now open for people of all ages with time to spare in isolation. “One of the biggest problems with the pandemic is the effect on people’s mental health, so if these posters can put a smile on someone’s face then the Grand is doing a good job ... To me this is the perfect canvas for our town,” Ms Gentle said. Ms McKay-Campbell said that some of her

The Grand Hotel is now operating a drivethrough takeaway meal service for locals looking for a restaurant quality meal without having to leave the comfort of their car. “It’s something that we would never had or-
dinarily done ... It’s the only thing we can really do,” Ms McKay-Campbell said. “You drive through the bottle shop and they pass it to you through the car window. You can literally come through in your pyjamas.” As part of their takeaway menu, the hotel has also started cooking regular Sunday roasts for customers.

Reverend’s top honour By Romy Stephens
Pressure is mounting on the State Government to create additional car parking at Lilydale Train Station. 209518
Works to set up construction sites at Lilydale Train Station are now underway. 209518

A new elevated train station will be built at Lilydale to remove the level crossing. 209518
Car park concern By Romy Stephens Pressure is mounting on the State Government to create additional car parking at Lilydale Train Station, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. The State Government’s Level Crossing Removal Project has announced that there will be no loss of formal commuter parking, however, additional parking spaces have not been revealed. Contrastingly, Mooroolbark Train Station will get 450 new car parks as part of the level crossing removal. Despite community consultation taking place, Lilydale Township Action Group chairman Neal Taylor said he didn’t feel the community had been listened to. “As part of the consultation we kept saying we need additional car parking. Considering Mooroolbark is getting their multi-storey car park we were quite happy for just an additional 60 car parks somewhere,” he said. “With the information we’re getting it looks like there is going to be less. “We’ve found the State Government, particularly the rail replacement, have not been very forthcoming in a lot of communication.
They keep saying there has been community consultation but the only communication we seem to get is via their website or an email through Council.” Evelyn MP Bridget Vallence said the State Government had “chosen to ignore” the concerns of Lilydale train commuters by refusing to provide additional car parking. She said the Minister for Transport Infrastructure confirmed that the old bus interchange would be converted to car spaces which would partially offset the loss of 120 spaces along William Streets East and West. However, she said the Minister only confirmed this would result in no net loss of parking. “The Andrews Government clearly doesn’t understand what matters most to local Lilydale residents,” she said. “Lilydale commuters don’t care about a ‘no net loss’ of car parks, they want a ‘net increase’ in car parking. “The existing unsealed Lilydale Train Station car park is full before morning peak begins at 7.00am. Lilydale locals have been crying out for more car parks, but the Andrews Labor Government has left them high and dry,
and they’re forced to park in side streets or at the football ground.” Mr Taylor said the parking situation was such a concern for Lilydale because unlike many other train stations, it services commuters from across the municipality. “Lilydale Railway is the only station that deals with the Yarra Ranges,” he said. “We’re getting a lot of people who live in the Warburton corridor or Healesville who get the train to work. “Lilydale Station is not a suburb and station, it’s more of a community hub, it’s a station that deals with a lot more than just one suburb.” Mr Taylor said the Township Group would be happy to explore “creative thinking around additional car parking” such as a park-andride option. He said this might see a car park in a town such as Healesville with a bus service that takes commuters to Lilydale.

Cleaning and caring jobs on the way Yarra Ranges Council will be hiring more than 160 support workers impacted by Covid-19, thanks to the Victorian Government’s Working for Victoria initiative. Council was successful in its application to have 164 temporary support roles created through the Victorian Government program, which matches jobseekers, including those who lost work as a result of the coronavirus’ economic impact, with employers who need staff. Yarra Ranges Mayor, Richard Higgins, said that recruitment would begin shortly for roles across 23 teams, which include cleaning of buildings and public spaces, outreach support for vulnerable community mem10 MAIL

bers, community engagement and planning. “We’ve heard a lot from our community in the last two months about the unprecedented impact that Covid-19 has had on businesses, employment and household finances,” Cr Higgins said. “At the same time, we’ve had a dramatic increase in demand for services such as cleaning, support for our vulnerable community members, assistance with rates and other Council services. “I’m proud to say that, thanks to Working for Victoria, we’ll be creating more than 160 temporary roles. This will help people in our community access employment, help Council to continue serving the community and
help the community to recover from this period of extreme upheaval. “We will be streamlining our recruitment process to get people into jobs as soon as possible, with a priority of hiring people from our community to fill these roles wherever possible.” The Working for Victoria initiative will fund these roles up to six-month basis, including all supporting costs such as personal protective equipment (PPE). Community members looking for work can register for Working for Victoria to then be matched with employers seeking staff. To register for Working for Victoria, visit www.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria
A lifetime of dedication to the Anglican Church of Australia and the Dandenong Ranges has earned Reverend Dr Peter Crawford one of the country’s top awards. In the Queen’s Birthday 2020 honours list, Mr Crawford received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for his commitment to the Anglican Church and efforts throughout Emerald and surrounds. Reflecting on the award, Mr Crawford told the Star Mail it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many other people throughout his life. “Initially I was very surprised and then as I thought about it I realised it was really a tribute to a lot of people, rather than just me,” he said. “The award was for contributions made to the church and the community, especially up here in the Dandenongs. “I had the privilege of leading St Mark’s Church for almost 35 years and we had hundreds and hundreds of terrific volunteers and great colleagues.” In 1977, Mr Crawford began as an assistant curate at St John’s in Toorak. He became the priest in charge at Emerald and Cockatoo in 1981. That same year, he became the vicar at St Mark’s Church in Emerald and remained in that role for 34 years. Over his many years of service to the Anglican Church, Mr Crawford has been the priest in charge at Belgrave Heights, Selby, Monbulk and St Luke’s in Cockatoo. He was also a member of the Diocesan Tribunal from 2012-2013. Mr Crawford’s commitment to the community has also been a major feature throughout his life. In 1984, he co-founded ECHO Youth and Family Services - formerly Emerald Centre for Hope and Outreach - and was president there for 31 years. He has been Honorary Life Vice President of the Church Missionary Society of Australia since 2000 and also established the Emerald Op Shop in 1988. Other notable achievements for Mr Crawford include being director of the Anglican Evangelical Trust for 34 years and a member of the Emerald Emergency Planning Group for 10 years. He has also had numerous publications such as Beauty From Ashes, 1987. Mr Crawford is well known for his volunteering efforts throughout the local community and beyond. Despite bringing many positive experiences, Mr Crawford said volunteering also brought its challenges at times. “There are highlights, like working with fabulous people, but there have certainly been a lot of dramatic occasions,” he said. “Leading in recovery work after the 1983 bushfires, 1997 Dandenong Ranges fires and Black Saturday...They were crucial times for communities. “It varied from emergency to emergency but I was also involved with State Government in helping in the recovery after the Port Arthur Massacre and the Bali Bombings.” Challenges aside, Mr Crawford said his time volunteering in the Dandenong Ranges has brought him great joy. “I felt just over the years that God kept me here and I haven’t had any regrets about that,” he said.

Stepping up for Shane By Russell Bennett Aaron Bailey doesn’t know what it’s like to have walked a mile in Shane Smith’s shoes. But the AFL Outer East region general manager is walking an astonishing 3300 kilometres in his great mate’s memory. Smith tirelessly dedicated decades of his life to serving the local football and netball community - through such roles as Outer East commission deputy chairman - before the devoted family man lost his battle with the beast, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), in December last year. The courage of his fight served as an ongoing and ever-present source of inspiration, not only to all who knew him, but people who even simply crossed paths with him. Bailey had the privilege of working alongside him and is still inspired by his determination, strength of character, and adoration of his family in his darkest hour. That inspiration will never leave Bailey, and it’s the driving force behind his incredible charity mission that, when completed, will see him walk the equivalent of the distance from Optus Stadium in Perth, to Melbourne’s MCG - the footballing epicentres of the two cities in which Neale Daniher made his VFL/ AFL home. The former Essendon captain and inspirational 223-game Melbourne coach has been the very public face of ‘FightMND’ since his own devastating diagnosis in 2014. FightMND was specifically established with the purpose of finding effective treatments, and ultimately a cure, for Motor Neurone Disease which - in essence - gradually takes away sufferers’ use of their arms and legs, their ability to eat and swallow, their speech, and eventually their ability to breathe - often well within the span of four years. Tragically for Smith and his family, he wasn’t officially diagnosed with the disease until just days before his passing. “For me, he was a great friend and mentor, he’s someone we miss horribly and he’s had an enormous impact on all of us involved in footy and netball in the region,” Bailey explained. “He was just so passionate about our region, our clubs, and our people and he had a massive role in shaping the Outer East into what it is today. “Shane’s passing had a significant impact on me, and I wanted to look at different ways to work through the grief. “I just felt I needed to do something positive - something more than just grieve, itself.” In looking for ways to honour his late mate, Bailey - a Melbourne Football Club diehard was inspired by reading Daniher’s book. Starting earlier this year, he decided to walk the equivalent distance of Perth to Melbourne - given Daniher’s footy involvement in both cities. He hopes to complete his mission by the end of the year. “But as silly as it sounds, I probably underestimated the distance involved - I committed to doing it before I even Google mapped it!” Bailey said with a laugh. “Seriously though, it’s been a really nice, cathartic process to go through - being able to take my newborn son with me as I walk 10 to 15 kilometres a day. “I think I’ve covered every street in Doreen (his home suburb).” Bailey said with the ‘Big Freeze’ taking place on the Queen’s Birthday Monday, now is the perfect time to get the initiative out there while also honouring Smith’s legacy, and just who he was as a person. “With the nature of MND and what it takes away from a person when it comes to their movement, I thought doing a significant physical challenge was pretty appropriate,” Bailey explained. “It’s to highlight the true impact of the disease, so putting myself through what I’d consider to be a difficult challenge is really put into perspective when I compare it to what Shane endured. It’s a great reminder to me of what to not take for granted.” Smith’s great mate, and AFL Outer East chairman, Tony Mitchell explained the heartache Smith’s family went through. “We knew he was ill, but they hadn’t diagnosed him with MND until the Monday before mailcommunity.com.au
Former AFL Outer East deputy chair, Shane Smith. he passed on the Wednesday (in December 2019),” Mitchell said. “He’d had other medical issues over the years, but it was initially considered to be a virus that he was suffering from. “I know I struggled with his diagnosis when it eventually came, and it was really upsetting for his family.” Mitchell and Smith had formed a close bond since meeting on the then Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League board more than 25 years ago. And they were still talking footy day in, and day out until Smith’s final days. Mitchell would constantly visit him in hospital, where Smith’s wife Debbie maintained a bedside vigil. Mitchell became emotional talking about his great mate, saying: “The toughest part has been not having him there to talk to anymore. “Every day we’d talk for half an hour or an hour at least, and we’d have some ripper debates - I’d wind him up and he’d tell me what an idiot I was! “Even in the last week of his life, I’d still give it to him and he’d just roll his eyes at me.” Mitchell said Smith never aspired to be the chair or president of what has become the ever-strengthening AFL Outer East region. “He just wanted to be the person in the background - he just wanted to roll the sleeves up and get to work,” Mitchell said. “But he never put up with any bullshit either.” The pair would be a constant fixture at local games throughout the region each Saturday for decades and would often be seen together indulging in their game day ritual of dim-sims and Coke Zero. As chair and deputy chair, they’d maintain a visible presence and always be there to receive direct feedback from passionate footy and netball club people on game days - whether positive or negative. Mitchell said he’s “incredibly proud” of Bailey’s selfless initiative, which Bailey kept close to his chest for months as Victorians battled through the bushfire crisis, and then Covid-19. Prior to joining the then YVMDFL board, Smith had served on the board of the Dandenong Ranges Junior Football League, had extensive roles at clubland with both Monbulk (including playing nearly 200 games) and Seville, and had been a real driver of the push to re-establish the senior and under-18 interleague sides.

Brace for rubbish In response to Bob Rich ‘Dismayed by talk of McDonald’s coming to town’ in last weeks edition, I have just returned from a walk around Yarra Glen and picked up a lot of rubbish on the side of the road. A large percentage of it being McDonald’s which has travelled from Lilydale and then been thrown out of car windows. Healesville does not need a McDonald’s restaurant at the entrance to our beautiful Yarra Valley and we all have to try and stop an
American food chain coming here, when we already have so many struggling family owned and run, delicious and nutritious cafes and restaurants already in our town and surrounding areas. So yes let’s join Bob and support him and many others in our community and protest to stop McDonald’s coming before it’s too late. Janene Pomeroy, Yarra Glen.
Senior rises to challenge By Ron Hottes After a couple of wet days, the course was heavy with no run and damp greens at the Warburton Golf Club’s 3 June stableford. This created a real challenge for the whole field, but one player who rose to that challenge was Phil Garside. ‘Senior’ Garsy accumulated 39 hard-won points, to fly away with the daily voucher. The ‘evergreen’ Ossie McClay had 36 points, which was easily good enough to be the runner-up. Balls got down to 33, meaning there were plenty of scores in the mid-30s. The Front-9 award went to Mark Gunther with 21 impressive points. And the back-9 was
taken out by Malcholm Dickson, with 20. With a couple of beautiful days of sunny, warm weather, the weekend field found the course to be a little kinder than the mid-week group confronted. The course was kindest to David Clinch, who snared the club’s 6 June stableford BGrade prize with a superb 42 points. This was easily the best round of the day, as the A-Grade winner was Sean Kennedy, who managed to amass 37 points. The daily runner-up was Troy Murphy, with 35 points. If players scored 33 plus points, then they could claim a ball. Both Best-9 winners scored an impressive 21 points - Howard-McDonald on the front and evergreen Ossie McClay on the back.
Tough going for golfers By Karl Hradsky Conditions were a bit harder for golfers at the Healesville Social Golf Club on 7 June, with tees at the back and pins in difficult positions and this was reflected in the results. Ken Arnott (16) came in with the win, scoring 35 stableford points.

Eastern pulls the pin The powerful Eastern Football Netball League, alongside the Northern Football Netball League, has announced that its senior football competitions will be cancelled for season 2020. Both boards endorsed the recommendation from league management to cancel all senior football for both the men’s and women’s competitions. The EFNL has also cancelled netball, while both competitions will forge forward with plans for 2020 junior competitions. In a statement on the Eastern Football Netball League website, CEO Troy Swainston said, after much consideration, both competitions believe it’s in the best interests to commit to beginning in 2021 with all of its clubs in a strong position in the long-term. “The EFNL has maintained a view throughout this process that we do not want one club to come back next year worse off than they are now,” he said. “All clubs were aware of the challenges associated with managing a reduced season under Covid-19 rules and restrictions and were very open, balanced, and frank about where their club sat. “Clubs expressed concerns about their financials, player numbers, committees, older volunteers, crowd restrictions and their inability to manage crowds at open public spaces. “We must make decisions based on what is best in both the short and the long-term. The information we have gathered from our clubs - together with the latest medical advice - has determined that cancelling the senior football and netball competitions in 2020 is the only viable option. “The health and safety of the community and club and league sustainability have always
There will be no football action in the Eastern Football League this year. been our top priorities.” Recent feedback from senior clubs indicated an overwhelming wish for the future of the 2020 season to be determined without further delay. Both competitions believe that cancelling their competitions is the only viable decision that will ensure the long-term sustainability of their clubs and the leagues. Other concerns raised by senior football
clubs were: the fiscal burden that playing just half a season would bring; the number of additional requirements for volunteers; the inability to effectively manage crowds to comply with current social distancing rules and crowd restrictions at public (often unfenced) venues; and not wanting to play matches without their local communities being able to attend without restriction.

A decision on the 2020 structure for junior football will be released in due course, with an announcement expected in the next couple of weeks. The Eastern Football League is home to local senior clubs Chirnside Park, Coldstream, Ferntree Gully, Lilydale, Montrose, Mooroolbark, Silvan, South Belgrave, and Upper Ferntree Gully.
