Toxic shock for residents EXCLUSIVE By Tate Papworth More than 80 properties built on and around the closed Sunshine landills are sitting on buried waste and are being exposed to methane gas. A comprehensive EPA and Brimbank council investigation has revealed 82 properties are afected, including 75 privately owned. Of those, 69 are residential and six are businesses. he site in question encompasses Energy Park and is in the heart of the state government’s designated priority precinct. It covers a large area, including existing homes located on Denton Avenue, Karen Place and Toora Court. According to conidential documents seen by Star Weekly, a “high risk” to the health of “of-site workers and the public in the commercial or recreational facilities, including the Bocce Club” [near Carrington Drive Reserve], has also been identiied. A review of the health risks, including an assessment of explosion and asphyxiation from bulk landill gas accumulation, is being undertaken. Up to seven government-owned properties are also impacted, including four community groups occupying sites on council land, open spaces and the M80 Ring Road. he council began informing afected residents last week. he Sunshine landills were used through the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s to dispose of household waste and large amounts of liquid and solid industrial waste. It is believed the landill sites accepted a range of waste products including liquid waste (such as acids, caustic, alkalis, engine oil, paint residue, solvents) and “spent radioactive” waste. Brimbank council has insisted the risk to human and animal health is low and is expected to keep reducing over time. Monitoring of the afected sites is ongoing. However, the council could be liable for clean-up costs, remediation of the sites and even the demolition of some homes. he council could also be liable for a claim of negligence, for failing to amend the Brimbank Planning Scheme since 1999 to disclose the location of the Sunshine landills to innocent purchasers. he council’s chief executive Helen Morrissey said: “Full disclosure places our community irst, allowing everyone to make properly informed decisions about the future. “We will continue to monitor the closed Sunshine landills under the guidance of the EPA to maximise the safety of our

community and look ater their health and wellbeing. “Introducing an Environmental Audit Overlay will give greater certainty on the use and development of impacted land.”

Star Weekly has been told a valuation of the privately owned properties impacted by the buried waste is up to $60 million, not including government-owned land. he latest reports add to a long history of

contamination across the municipality. According to the EPA there are 19 sites within Brimbank that have been identiied as requiring monitoring, clean up and management to protect community health.

Pool push gets green light By Tate Papworth Brimbank council will close the doors to the St Albans Leisure Centre in April and push ahead with plans to build a multi million dollar health and wellbeing hub, despite having no external funding for the project. It means that ratepayers are increasingly likely to solely foot the bill for the hub, which was last projected to be more than $60 million. Designs of the hub have now been inalised and the council has put the contract for the project out to tender. An application has been put forward to the

state government for funding, but if successful would only bring $2 million to the project. While the council won’t reveal current costing estimates, a council oicer report into the project suggests it will top the current $60 million allocated in the council budget. he report said that given construction costs are continuing to increase at a signiicant rate across the board, it is anticipated additional funding will be required to deliver the current adopted scope of the project and will be referred to the annual budget process. Regardless, the council will now inalise the current tender process and appoint a contractor

to demolish the current facility and construct the hub. Cr John Hedditch lamented the lack of funding from both state and federal governments and said the council should reconsider pushing ahead at this time. “We go into this project, go to tender, with ratepayers of this community coughing up the lot and that in my view is inappropriate. We should not be doing this,” Cr Hedditch said. “I wanted to be going into this position with $25 million from the state and federal governments in the bank. “We had a project that we originally agreed

should have that sort of money in it from other partners, but which now has none and for me that is not the way you do good business with these major projects. “You have to have inancial parameters around them from the start that say if you don’t achieve your goals around partnership funding and things like that, you wait until you get that.” He argued the inancial burden of the project would limit the next council’s ability to deliver major projects like libraries, sports stadiums and women’s facilities. he leisure centre will be permanently closed to the public from April 14.

But Digby said making each pot is also half the fun. “It’s great fun, we’ve had people save tins for

us and I’ve got to help spray paint them,” he said. “Succulents were the obvious choice because they’re easy to grow and we already had a lot of them because mum likes them.” he pair have set up a Facebook page to help move their sales along.

Son’s CPR skill saves father By Tate Papworth To say Maninder Shergill is lucky to be alive would be doing a disservice to the team that worked tirelessly to ensure he lived to tell his story. On March 22, 2019 the 48-year-old Keilor Downs man was preparing for bed when he began to experience discomfort in his chest. “At about 11.15pm I walked in to my bedroom and told my wife I was struggling to breathe,” Mr Shergill said. “She got up straight away and started massaging my chest. hat’s all I remember. I just collapsed and woke up four days later in the hospital.

‘‘

Maninder’s heart was stopped for 45 minutes

’’

- Paramedic “I felt a little uncomfortable in the chest and that was it; I dropped to the loor.” His distraught wife screamed out to the couple’s 20-year-old son Arshdeep, who immediately sprang into action, calling triple-0 and administering CPR until emergency services arrived. “I saw a CPR video on YouTube and remembered it, so that’s what I did,” Arshdeep said. Paramedic Mark said Arshdeep’s actions saved his father’s life. “Any CPR is better than no CPR, none of us would be here today celebrating this if it wasn’t for CPR at home,” Mark said. “Even when we do things really well … normally you talk about when the heart is stopped for 25-30 minutes people don’t survive

… Maninder’s heart was stopped for 45 minutes.” Fireighters were the irst to arrive on the scene and worked to stabilise Mr Shergill before paramedics were able to attend.

Mr Shergill credits the collaborative efort with saving his life. Almost a year ater the event he said his life is getting back to normal. “I’m back to work now and doing a lot of

walking. I watch what I eat now too,” Mr Shergill said. “My family depend on me. All of you did a good job and that’s why I’m here telling my story. Without you guys I wouldn’t be here.”

Sunshine court expansion looms By Tate Papworth An expansion of the Sunshine Magistrates court could be on the cards. A Court Services Victoria spokeswoman said it was reviewing the functional requirements of the Sunshine Magistrates Court ater a tenant vacated the building, freeing up space within the court. he review is part of a broader statewide strategic asset planning review being undertaken by Court Services Victoria. In December, the Steve Bracks-led West of

It would make it a real hub - Steve Bracks

Melbourne Economic Development Alliance (WoMEDA) called for the Sunshine court area to become a legal services hub. Mr Bracks told Star Weekly that redevelopment of the area into a legal services hub could tap into both the expected growth in professional, scientiic and technical services, as well as public administration and safety.

“I’ve been calling for a while for parts of the Department of Justice to relocate from Melbourne to Sunshine,” Mr Bracks said. “It would make it a real hub, bringing in all that comes with it, such as contractors and support provisions.” WoMEDA believes it would be possible to locate the Family Violence Agency, the Adult Parole Board, a new research centre into recidivism, and the Department of Corrections, to Sunshine. It comes as the neighbouring Werribee Magistrates Court is bursting at the seams and

struggling to keep up with demand. In January, Wyndham councillor Kim McAliney said that with only two courtrooms – including one for the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal – the Werribee court was oten “overcrowded”. “he building cannot accommodate the sheer number of people requiring legal intervention, without compromising safety,” Cr McAliney said. Wyndham has been earmarked as a “high priority region requiring a new purpose-built court”.

Council rues VCAT decisions By Tate Papworth Former Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve has lamented the council’s lack of power when it comes to refusing planning permits. he Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) determined seven Brimbank planning appeals in December and January. Of those, two of the council’s decisions were upheld, two were overturned, two consent orders were reached and one appeal was withdrawn. Another 13 appeals are pending.

‘‘

At the end of the day ... it can be easily overturned - Lucinda Congreve

’’

Speaking at last week’s council meeting, Cr Congreve said one VCAT decision in particular hit a sore point. “For me, there was one call-out in there … a planning permit for 84 Power Street,” Cr Congreve said. “I remember this item and I’m sure other councillors do. It was a very

emotional time in the chamber and it was a decision that we at the council carefully considered. “We refused the permit because we thought the impact on the local residents from this development was too signiicant.” VCAT overturned the council’s decision to refuse the construction of four double-storey dwellings at the St Albans site. Cr Congreve said the council’s seeming lack of power was frustrating. “It goes to show that at the end of the day, council can make a decision, but it can be easily

overturned. It’s a really diicult position for us to be in and I’m sure that it’s frustrating for the residents who thought they may have been out of the woods with this development, but now ind themselves back in that situation.” he report into VCAT decisions comes as development in Brimbank continues to boom. he council received 87 planning permit applications in December and 33 in January, with a total value of $145.9 million. Cr Bruce Lancashire said it showed the strength of the development occurring in Brimbank.

A passion for cricket Jodie Brown has always had a passion for cricket, and she is turning that passion into a new career. he Caroline Springs woman has stepped into the world of player representation in the past two years, working to place international players into local clubs and give them opportunities to experience a summer of cricket in Australia. “Cricket has always been a big part of my life,” she said. “My irst client was Danza Hyatt at Darley Cricket Club. “He was looking for an agent and he was coaching my sons … it’s gone from there with bringing players over to play here. “here’s a lot of good players who never get the chance to experience playing in Australia, and vice-versa, placing players in clubs overseas as well.” Ms Brown now looks ater players with international experience from India, Sri Lanka

and Canada, but her new path has not been without its challenges. “I’ve had a lot of clubs who are interested in players but say they don’t want to deal with a female agent,” Ms Brown said. “It’s a huge challenge, and people need to realise that these are good players who deserve a chance. “I’m just as good as male agents and [I] know talent and have an eye for detail. “I think I’m the only female cricket agent in Australia, I could be wrong on that, but it is a hard industry for women to break into.” Ms Brown said she was committed to making her new venture work. “I don’t want to stay small, I want to be a big ish in the ocean,” she said. “To be recognised as one of the best player agents, female player agents, in Australia. hat’s the big dream.” Ewen McRae

Council makes noise over noise By Tate Papworth Aircrat noise and light paths are among Brimbank council’s major concerns regarding future operations at Melbourne Airport. In a submission to Airservices Australia, the council lagged a number of issues, including health impacts on residents underneath light paths and night operations. he council’s biggest concern related to the impact of aircrat noise. he potential impact of aircrat noise on schools and other learning environments, and the need for appropriate

‘‘

Put in simple terms, this is not good enough

- Virginia Tachos noise monitoring units (including Keilor Village) were also highlighted. Cr Virginia Tachos said a recent workshop held by Airservices on light paths, which included a survey assessment, provided insuicient information. “Put in simple terms, this is not good enough.

Not only is it inadequate for our community, the methodology around the online surveys provided was not suitable for our general community,” Cr Tachos said. “It’s as if our communities, our voice, our views, our lives don’t seem to matter. “he survey was so technical, so skewed and not really interested in eliciting views on light principles, but a tool developed for people who would need some background and knowledge in aviation. “We aren’t pilots, but I feel like I’m becoming one with all the knowledge that’s required

from me to grasp the complexity of light path design.” Cr Tachos said more needed to be done to keep airlines accountable. “Concerns continue to grow with the regulation of airspace and lack of information about repercussions, if any, when aircrat don’t adhere to noise abatement procedures. “It appears increasingly that the needs, the growth and the proits of the aviation industry are prioritised over and against the safety, amenity and environmental impacts of our community here in Brimbank.”

New road to terminal Melbourne Airport has begun construction on its $60 million express road. he new elevated loop road will connect the Tullamarine Freeway to the Terminal T4 carpark. Melbourne Airport chief commercial oicer of landside access Lorie Argus, said the project, the largest road investment by the airport, will make it faster for drivers to reach Terminal 4. he express road is forecast to carry 5000 vehicles a day when completed in early 2021. A further $260 million is earmarked for stage two of the road upgrade, which would include a second elevated link to facilitate better connections to Terminals 1, 2 and 3. “We’re investing $60 million in this component and $260 million in the next … we’ll have an entirely elevated forecourt and development straight in and out of the terminals,” Ms Argus said. She said both road projects would

signiicantly cut traic congestion for drivers. “We see 120,000 vehicles in and out of this precinct every day … Our data shows that if we do not add more roads by 2025, drivers could be stuck in traic for around 30 minutes on the doorstep of the airport. “Our elevated loop road upgrades will future-proof Melbourne Airport for international and domestic traveller growth while reducing stress for passengers. “We see this road taking us well into the 2050s for capacity.” Tate Papworth

Land acquisition on the table By Tate Papworth Brimbank council is open to compulsorily acquiring land to address a lack of open space in Sunshine North. he council recently adopted an oicer’s report which listed compulsory acquisition as one option to provide more open space in the suburb. he council says a number of measures are in place to try to alleviate the shortage including planning to increase facilities at Dempster

‘‘

For a long, long time there has been gaps in open space - John Hedditch

’’

Reserve in Sunshine North. It also wants developers to include a large suburban park in the River Valley estate. However Cr John Hedditch said the work needed to be done now to prepare for the future. “For a long, long time there has been gaps

in open space and parks and playground provisions in North Sunshine,” he said. “he population is going to signiicantly increase over time and we’re going to have enormous pressures on our parks, playgrounds and open space as we go along. “We will need to think about various things like reclassiications of parks, land procurement where gaps exist and we’ll need to think about school partnerships.” he council report advised that compulsory acquisition had its shortcomings.

“his approach necessitates a strategic assessment to justify the need for open space, and a separate piece of analysis to identify the speciic parcels of land to be acquired,” the report stated. “his approach is not guaranteed to achieve the intended outcome, [and] is likely to take many years to complete.” It is also anticipated that compensation costs would be considerably more than the value of the properties acquired.

Expansion takes shape Watergardens’ $50 million expansion is taking shape with the irst round of new retailers announced. Dubbed ‘he Marketplace’ the expansion will largely be used as a food precinct. It will include a host of fresh food traders such as he Butcher Club Direct, Taylors Lakes’ own Lucia’s Euro Deli, San Andres – a market which ofers seasonal fruit and vegetables, groceries and smallgoods and IRO Seafood. Watergardens Market Flowers, he Nut Bar and East West Asian Grocer, he Beauty Circle, Elephone, and Sunline Alterations are also among the irst tenants. he precinct is also set to welcome major brands ALDI Supermarket, TerryWhite Chemmart and House. Watergardens centre manager Joe Galea said he Marketplace will make Taylors Lakes a real food capital. “Melbourne is renowned for its fresh food markets and dining scene, and we’re bringing a taste of this to Watergardens with an exciting

new fresh food and dining ofer, carefully tailored to the people of Taylors Lakes,” he said. “he Marketplace will be a magnet for food that relects the diversity of our community, a buzzing and vibrant hub where locals know they can ind the best possible fresh produce every day. “he food precinct at he Marketplace will become the epicentre of casual dining here in the north-west, designed with street food in mind. “Food is a common ground, and taste preferences aside, it’s something that connects us as human beings.” he Marketplace is scheduled to open later this year. A second round of retailers will be announced by the end of the month. Tate Papworth Joe Galea in the new Watergardens expansion. (Luke Hemer) 204829_03

Four of Sunshineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most patronised child care centres are under threat because of a new set of government building regulations. he new regulations, which will reduce the number of children in the centres, could force many of them to close, leaving dozens of families with two parents working in dire straights.

An explosion in a metre-square metal container caused havoc in Deer Park last hursday aternoon, stopping traic and causing passenger trains to be banked up at Ardeer. he late-aternoon explosion happened in one of four containers on the land at the corner of Station Road and Tilburn Road, diagonally opposite the ICI explosives factory in Deer Park and close to a transport depot where liquid gas transporters are regularly parked.

Soaring temperatures in Melbourne have nothing on the residents of Sunshine whose tempers have reached boiling point over the unknown fate of the Sunshine Swim and Leisure Centre. A group of residents have launched an aggressive campaign to keep a swimming pool in Sunshine following the leaking of a conidential document recommending the centre be closed as one of a number of options.

What’s your connection to Brimbank? I lived in Sunshine for 20 years and moved to Sunshine West two years ago.

We need a Kmart and a Target. he Sunshine Plaza when it irst opened was really lovely, but so many of its stores are closing down. I feel like the stores opening up are only catering to one sort of person and it could be so much bette if a bit of thought was put into what sort of stores are put forward. Tell us about your role at Caroline Chisholm Catholic College. I’m in my 20th year at the school and I’ve always been in accounts.

The 2020 Brimbank Australia Day Awards were presented across two categories on 26 January at the Brimbank Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony and Community Breakfast at the Kevin Wheelahan Gardens in Sunshine. Dr Selvanayagam Selvendra received the Citizen of the Year Award, while Mr Eangano Singehebhuye was named Young Citizen of the Year. These awards recognise the exceptional contributions, hard work, and determination of individuals making a positive diference within Brimbank. The football ield and the ield of medicine may seem worlds apart, yet Dr Selvendra and Mr Singehebhuye have both inspired the Brimbank community through their selless actions.

Retired doctor and surgeon Dr Selvendra served as a general practitioner at practices in West Sunshine and North Sunshine for 45 years of his 59 year medical career. He would regularly go above and beyond to help his patients. Mr Singehebhuye organises events that aim to inspire and empower young people from disadvantaged communities across Brimbank, through his work with two not-for-proit organisations. This includes soccer programs for children, young women and young men. The Brimbank Australia Day Awards are open each year to all Australian citizens who live, study, work or volunteer in Brimbank. As part of the Australia Day ceremony, 180 residents also took the oath to become some of Australia’s newest citizens.

This handy quarterly lift-out provides information on key projects and capital works around Brimbank. I’m pleased to say we’re making progress on plans to build an Australian-irst health and wellbeing hub that will replace the outdated St Albans Leisure Centre. Detailed designs are in and they look absolutely amazing. I’m extremely pleased that this signiicant project is on track. You’ll ind more information on the next page. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our bushire relief fundraising for the communities devastated by bushires in Victoria.

Capital Works Hampshire Road upgrade continues Hampshire Road will be temporarily closed to vehicles between Bennett Place and Devonshire Road while works are being completed. Access to shops, businesses and residences will be maintained throughout construction. Detours will be in place and the community is asked to look out for and follow the detour signs. Works are expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2020.

MB Lynch Memorial Gardens Work has started on a new $5.85 million project to create a beautiful civic green on Hampshire Road between Devonshire Road and Bennett Place, as Council continues to transform the heart of Sunshine. The Stage 3 works will feature trees, lawns, and create more space for community events and footpath trading on Hampshire Road. Our vision for the heart of Hampshire Road is to create a much loved area where shoppers can stay a little longer, meet friends and enjoy community events.

Business as usual We encourage people to continue supporting their favourite traders and local businesses while works are underway along Hampshire Road – remember all the shops and restaurants will remain open for business during this time.

Recent improvements • Sportsground lighting projects - Lighting at six sports grounds has been upgraded to competition standard 100 LUX with LED. The sites are Ainsworth Reserve, Sunshine; Ralph Reserve, Sunshine West; Ardeer Reserve, Ardeer; Larissa Reserve, St Albans; Keilor Lodge Reserve, Taylors Lakes; and Churchill Reserve, St Albans. All projects were completed at the end of 2019. • The Lakes Reserve Flagship Park, Taylors Lakes - Works at the Lakes Reserve playground and picnic area are complete. The public now has access to a new playground, shelters and BBQ areas, new lawn area, new pathway network, itness equipment, Parkour Ninja Warrior equipment, Hot Shots tennis court, basketball key, ping pong table and shared user path on the southern side of Taylors Creek. A shared user path on the northern side of Taylors Creek is scheduled for construction in March and is set to be completed by mid-2020.

Further along Hampshire Road, Council is upgrading the MB Lynch Memorial Gardens, with a new design that retains key historical features while acknowledging the needs of current users.

Alfrieda Street Civic Plaza St Albans residents can look forward to a new civic plaza that will continue the revitalisation of the popular Alfrieda Street town centre. A $1.67 million project is underway to transform the former bus interchange on Alfrieda Street into a vibrant and welcoming civic plaza. Works will include road surfacing, feature paving to the footpaths, tree planting and landscaping, improved seating and lighting, better signage, and a new raised pedestrian crossing. Temporary road closures will be in place during construction. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to look out for and follow detour signs. Access to shops, businesses and residences will be maintained throughout construction. Works are expected to be completed by mid-2020.

Works will include pathways, two new shelters, seating, feature lighting, shade trees, lawn areas, irrigation system, interpretive signage and new garden beds. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2020. The Stage 3 works and upgrades to the gardens form part of Council’s Hampshire Road Master Plan, which outlines a vision for redeveloping Sunshine’s main street into a unique and vibrant destination.

Solar panels on top of multi-deck car park

REMINDERS Is your child due to start kindergarten in 2021? Update your contact details with Council If your child is turning four before 30 April next year, they are eligible to attend kinder in 2021.

The Brimbank multi-deck car park in Sunshine has become the latest Council building to make the move to solar energy.

Ofers for kindergarten places in Brimbank in 2021 will commence in July 2020.

Council recently licked on the switch of an 82-kilowatt solar installation on the top level of the multi-deck car park in George Street, Sunshine.

Parents and carers are reminded to update their contact details to ensure their child receives an ofer.

The new solar panels mean the car park is now almost entirely powered by free, clean and renewable energy.

Visit brimbank.vic.gov.au/kinder for more information.

Solar power generated by the panels will provide nearly all of the car park’s requirements for its lifts, lighting and equipment - equivalent to the annual power needs of 26 houses.

Want to stay on top of what’s happening in Brimbank? Subscribe to Council’s monthly e-newsletter!

It will also provide power for Council’s electric car leet through a new electric car charging station at the car park, while the solar panels will act as a roof over 23 car spaces on the carpark’s top level.

Brimbank View brings you news about what’s happening in Brimbank, and what you can get involved in.

The initiative is helping Council to achieve its goal of sourcing 100 per cent renewable energy by 2021 for all its buildings and streetlights, and meeting its 50 per cent reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions by 2023.

Subscribe at brimbank.vic.gov.au/bvsubscribe

Have your say We want to hear from you.

Since 2016, Council has installed solar panels at 34 Council buildings, generating almost one megawatt of clean energy. This saves Council about $270,000 in electricity costs each year.

Just as it puts an elegant face to the street, so too is elegance to the fore indoors. A timeless simplicity of décor juxtaposes with the more formal look, creating in the process a home of practicality and lash in equal measure. A carpeted lounge room, open to the entry way, has multi-paned windows (as all through) with customised swags and holland blinds in a rich cream, along with stepped cornices. French doors from here open to the brightly lit dining zone abutting the kitchen. An abundance of panelled-timber storage, white splashback tiles and charcoal-toned benches lend timelessness to the cooks’ domain, which also has stainless-steel appliances. The street-facing main bedrooms, with those swagged windows, has a walk-in robe and a fresh, simple en suite. The main bathroom, sharing a rear hallway with two itted bedrooms and a powder room, is similarly appointed. Ducted heating, evaporative cooling and an alarm are included.

Oozing style, this house has a facade of dark brickwork while the grey and white interior is on trend. Ceramic loor tiles and black-framed windows create a streamlined canvas for the lounge room and living spaces. The open-plan family area includes a sleek kitchen with gleaming island bench, stainless-steel appliances and walk-in pantry. Meanwhile, a display wall between the meals and rumpus area adds a smart twist to the space. Sliding doors lead out to a paved, undercover area that’s ideal for outdoor entertaining, as well as the backyard. Back inside, the main bedroom has grey carpets, a walk-in robe and a light-illed en suite, while the remaining three bedrooms also have built-in robes. There’s also a family bathroom featuring smart inishes and a large bath. Situated near Watergardens Town Centre and with major arterial road access, the house also has a double garage, ducted heating and cooling.

Public Notice Brimbank City Council Draft Councillor Code of Conduct Suite Changes

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 189 of the Local Government Act 1989 (the â&#x20AC;?Actâ&#x20AC;?) that Brimbank City Council intends to sell the vacant land at No. 130 McIntyre Road, Sunshine North, by public auction.

Residents have an opportunity to formally submit feedback and comments on the Brimbank City Council Draft Councillor Code of Conduct Suite. Purpose of the Draft Code of Conduct 2020

For more details regarding the areas % " $ ! % % !& $ ' #! % " #% % ! 9249 4000.

The land has an area of 651 square metres and is in a General Residential Zone 1 under the Brimbank Planning Scheme. The land is known as Lot 1 on Plan of Subdivision No. 311050B contained in Certiicate of Title Volume 10093 Folio 858.

The Councillor Code of Conduct Major Policy 2019 (current Code) is designated a Major Policy under the Governance (Major Policy Consultation) Local Law No. 3 2014 (Local Law). The Local Law requires a community consultation process to be undertaken on any amendment to the current Code, including its proposed revocation as a Major Policy.

brimbank.vic.gov.au

A plan detailing the location of the land is shown below.

The current Code is proposed to be revoked as a Major Policy under the Local Law. This change is being considered as the draft Councillor Code of Conduct 2020, with the incorporation by reference of the draft Transparency Policy, provides a more robust framework in relation to community transparency than the current Code and thus it is considered unnecessary to continue its designation as a Major Policy.

Write off Deer Park at your peril By Lance Jenkinson Deer Park is bullish about its lag chances in the Western Region Football League division 1 this season, despite a number of its premiership stars leaving over the summer. he Lions, seven-time reigning premiers, have had to come to grips with the fact that star onballer/half-forward Kwame McHarg will no longer be in the blue and gold. McHarg is described as “irreplaceable” by Lions coach Marc Bullen. he smooth mover has been followed out the door by star goalkicker Jase Perkins, Troy Kelm, Max Bruin and Kevin Klix, along with retirees Jackson Barling and Shannon Byrnes. While the Lions have made some quality acquisitions, including the return of veteran full-forward Brendan Fevola, rebounding defender Ryley Barrack and promising small forward Lachlan Smart, the departures are enough for some to contemplate a grand inal without Deer Park for the irst time since 2012. Bullen already described last year’s premiership, including a miracle grand inal comeback, akin to “climbing Mount Everest”, so he knows how much harder the task will be without McHarg and co. Despite that, Bullen warned the football public against discounting his side as a serious premiership threat. “here’s no doubt that Altona and Spotswood are very good sides, Hoppers Crossing have recruited well, Werribee Districts is always really good and the likes of Caroline Springs will be trying to get into the ive – the competition is very good,” he said. “Kwame McHarg is irreplaceable, but we’ve got everyone else covered, so we’re going to give ourselves every opportunity to win the premiership again.”

Kwame McHarg will go down as Deer Park’s greatest player in its most dominant era. (Damjan Janevski)

Where Bullen sees Deer Park’s most growth is from within the club. he Lions incredible depth and lengthy injury list last season created an abnormal overlow of senior footballers. Bullen expects those that were either pushed out of the starting 22 or on the mend from injury to stake their claims once again.

“We’ve had a bit of of season changeover with some key player retirements and some of our star players have decided to take up opportunities at other clubs, but we also had half a dozen starting 18 players that didn’t play in the grand inal last year,” Bullen said. “Hopefully your [Rodney] Van Riets, your [James] Wongs, your Bronson Booths, your

Sohrob Ismails, these guys that didn’t play, they’ll get their opportunity and can ill some gaps.” Jack Purton-Smith has been earmarked to take over McHarg’s role as a midielder/ half-forward. New recruit Smart and young gun Spiros Amarantidis will also play similar roles. Smart is seen as a like-for-like replacement for Byrnes. Jack Redpath will be the focal point of the Lions forward line ater the departure of Perkins. Bullen was never totally satisied with how the Redpath-Perkins combination worked, so he faces a task of meshing Redpath with Fevola and Wong in a three-pronged attack. “Obviously we’ll have to work on our functionality,” Bullen said. “Having Wong, Redpath and Fevola is a challenge for us, but a good challenge to have.” Fevola will begin his second stint with Deer Park at the age of 39. he former Carlton and Brisbane Lions spearhead is reportedly the ittest he has been in years. “He could get a hold of a few sides,” Bullen said. It was inevitable that McHarg would leave Deer Park one day. So oten over the years, McHarg has been subject to attempted raids from local and VFL clubs, but stayed loyal to the Lions. McHarg, who will join Port Melbourne Colts, has let an incredible legacy at Deer Park. “He’ll go down as the best ever Deer Park player and arguably the best ever to play in the WRFL,” Bullen said. “He’s going to leave a huge hole because of his ability to score, his ability to win ball. “He had 44 possessions in the grand inal. “How do we replace that? We probably can’t.”

SPORT Hoppers Crossing teen on target for a big career Georgia Pistone has embraced the pressure of international shooting competition and underlined her potential as a future star in the sport. he 16-year-old from Hoppers Crossing turned heads with an impressive season in 2019, highlighted by her 12th-placed inish in the universal trench world championships against open-age opponents in France. She also took out a bronze medal in a team’s event. Pistone was understandably a little bit nervous about competing on the international stage, but she was certainly not overawed once she pulled her irst trigger at the competitions. “It was nerve-racking going over there and representing Australia, but it feels good,” Pistone said. “here is a little bit of pressure, but you have to learn to deal with it. When I wear my

Australian jacket at competitions, I’m proud wearing it.” Pistone is eager to crack into the world top 10 this year. he Werribee Victorian Clay Target Club member has set her sights on representing Australia at the worlds again, this year in Italy. She is on track halfway through qualiication, but still needs two big rounds to earn selection. “It will be the top three ladies selected, so I have to put in a good performance in the next two rounds,” Pistone said. “Where we’re shooting, I shoot well, so I’m pretty conident.” he other high priority event for Pistone in 2020 is the national championships. She is the defending Australian champion, so the rest of the ield will be aiming to bring her down. “I’d love to go back-to-back,” Pistone said. Pistone earned an Oceania gold medal with

Australia B in the ISSF Olympic trap. he achievements only come Pistone’s way because she is willing to work hard, even though she is busy completing her studies at Hoppers Crossing Secondary College. “here’s a lot of training,” she said. “I’m always down at Werribee practicing. “It’s repetition, I shoot about 100 targets and I’m always repeating the same thing and having the same style. I love it.” Pistone is the Don Deeble Sports Star for February. he award, hosted by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly, made possible by donations from Yarraville Club Cricket Club, Strathmore Community Bank and Deer Park Club, recognises talented young athletes from the western suburbs.

Sunshine star to miss inals By Lance Jenkinson Sunshine Eagles have sufered a blow with star catcher Allan de San Miguel to miss the Baseball Victoria summer league division 1 inals. De San Miguel, a Melbourne Aces championship winner earlier this month, was hoping to achieve a rare double premiership this summer, but has informed the Eagles that he will not be available. While he intends to continue on as a player with the Eagles next season, the 32-year-old’s professional career in baseball will soon turn from playing to coaching. De San Miguel’s last assignment as a professional player will be with the Australian national team, where he is hoping to be part of a run to the Olympics. In the meantime, de San Miguel will continue his coaching with the Kansas City Royals in Major League Baseball, where he spent the past few seasons as a player in the minor leagues. De San Miguel will be required to report to spring training with the Royals at the same time the Eagles are taking light in the summer league inals. “I’ve got to head back to the States on the 29th of February and start my Kansas City Royals duties on the 2nd of March,” he said. “It’s a shame that I won’t be here for the playofs. “It’s going to suck not being a part of it because I missed out on it last year too.” De San Miguel expects Sunshine to be there at the pointy end of the campaign. In his view, the Eagles are better placed to

challenge for the title than they were last season and also set up better for a sustained period at the top. “We’ve scored a lot more runs, the team batting average is a lot higher and everyone is doing their role and improved so much more from last year,” de San Miguel said. “Even though we inished in irst place last year [before getting knocked out in the inals], we’re still getting better and that’s really good to see from a club point of view. “We want to try and grow the club and get them bigger and stronger. “We’re trying to enforce one main goal and it’s to not rock up to the ield, participate and be satisied by that, when we go to the ballpark, we’re here to win, we’re here to get better and win a championship for the club.” De San Miguel announced his retirement from Melbourne Aces in the weeks leading up to the ABL inals. Securing the Aces irst championship was the perfect way for him to bow out. De San Miguel is a ive-time ABL championship winner, including four titles with his hometown Perth Heat. Retirement was a little easier for de San Miguel than most because his body dictated the process. “If you’ve caught 17 years like I have with knees that feel like mine, just let me know how you feel,” he said with a laugh. Sunshine went down 6-1 to Fitzroy Lions at Barclay Reserve on Saturday. he Eagles remain the team with the best record two games out from inals.

Allan De San Miguel will be on the other side of the world when Sunshine starts its inals campaign.

Taylors Lakes will live to ight another day in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association. he Lions will head into the last round with inals still a possibility ater taking care of business with a 47-run win over Croydon at Lionheart Reserve on Saturday. For the Lions to break into the top six, they will need everything to go right on the last Saturday of the regular season. he Lions not only have to beat second-placed Altona in a one-day game at JK Grant Reserve, but will need a hand from Yarraville, to beat sixth-placed Melton, or Balwyn, to beat ith-placed Noble Park. Should Taylors Lakes, Melton and Noble Park all lose, it will open the door for one of Bayswater or Hoppers Crossing, who square of against each other, to fall into the inals.

Taylors Lakes won a tight, low-scoring afair over Croydon in the penultimate round. he Lions could only muster 8-129 of 45 overs. Ater crumbling to 6-69, Aamir Raza performed the rescue act for the Lions. Raza made 48 for the second game running. Late runs from Mark McLachlan (16) and Jason Denny (27) moved the score to triple igures. It was more than enough for the Taylors Lakes bowlers to defend. Ater a top order failure, Croydon was always behind the eight ball and would eventually perish for a meagre 82. Jarrod Wakeling (3-8) and Luke Denny (3-13) starred with the ball for the Lions.

Saints lying in top light return By Lance Jenkinson A spectacular volley from Adam Hodor has earned St Albans Saints a share of the points in a 1-1 draw on the road against Dandenong City to keep the team undefeated ater two games in the National Premier League. he newly-promoted Saints have been a breath of fresh air in the NPL, producing an attacking brand of football that has ruled the feathers of two established clubs. he Saints have scored ive goals and yielded four points in their opening two games back in the top light. Saints coach Kruni Razov is thrilled with how the team has begun life in a higher division. “If someone said before the season that we’d have four points ater two rounds, I would’ve taken it with both hands,” he said. “he boys have been fantastic. “A home win and a very tough away trip to Dandenong City, who just missed out on the inals last year.” Incredibly, St Albans is without a recognised striker. he Saints only striker is new recruit Mate Barisic, who is young and learning the ropes at the level. He will be coming of the bench for the foreseeable future. Razov has instead gone with a bit of unpredictability up front, deploying Hodor, Anthony Poljak and captain Matthew Cundari. “We’ve gone into the season without a natural striker,” Razov said. “We’re a bit more quicker on the counter-attack and we move the ball a bit more quicker. “here’s probably not that much into the feet for Adam Hodor to hold up, it’s playing between the lines, playing over the shoulder

and using our feet and an aggressive approach in that front third.” he strategy is working so far for St Albans. Hodor is the one who is making it work, adapting to a new role with ease. he Saints have prepared for the striker-less team, spending countless hours honing their crossing and cutback skills to make up for the lack of a powerful forward or a skilful striker.

heir balls into the box have been exquisite so far. A prime example was defender David Simms’ delivery for the equalising goal with his cross well weighted for Hodor to strike irst time. “We do a lot of crossing at training,” Razov said. “Usually every Friday before a Sunday game, we spend at least half an hour to 45 minutes trying to get balls into those areas.

“David Simms put in a nice cross and he’s just hit it irst time on the volley and it’s lown in. “It was a great inish.” he draw was the right result in the eyes of Razov. St Albans conceded a goal to Brayden Mann just before half-time of a lacklustre irst half. he Saints were, however, the better team in the second half and thoroughly deserved their equalising goal. “For about 25 or 30 minutes in the second half, we had Dandenong pegged back pretty much in their half at times,” Razov said. St Albans will host a mouth-watering derby with Melbourne Knights at Churchill Reserve on Sunday at 5pm. With no other NPL games on that day, you better get in early to secure a prime position. “he boys are pumped and I think it will be a huge crowd, being the only Sunday NPL game of the round,” Razov said. “We want to keep going the way we started, they probably haven’t started the way they wanted to, so it will be interesting to see how that one unfolds.” Melbourne Knights go into the game without a win ater a dramatic 3-3 draw with Dandenong hunder at Knights Stadium on Friday night. he Knights will be without goalkeeper Harry Cakarun, who received a red card late in the game for a last man tackle, which led to Brandon Barnes’ equalising goal in the 94th minute. Meanwhile, Green Gully Cavaliers are licking their wounds ater two losses to start the season. Ater losing 2-0 to Hume City in their home opener on Friday night, the Cavs will be keen to bounce back against Avondale at Green Gully Reserve this Friday night.
