Bell’s gone, the countdown over When the bells rang in the first day of their first term, 92 fresh-faced prep pupils, including Ruby and Willoh, eagerly made their way to their classrooms. The five-year-olds are the latest additions to Melton South Primary School and have settled in well, teacher Donna Teven says. “A lot of the children did a countdown to prep last year, which helped them settle in,” Ms Teven says. “They’ve been here before, so by the time they got to school, they knew the routine and where their playgrounds were.” The youngsters have Wednesdays off to help with the transition into 9am-3pm school life, but are expected to get onto a normal schedule in a month’s time.

EasterFest forced out By Sumeyya Ilanbey The future of the Bacchus Marsh EasterFest at Maddingley Park is in doubt after organisers said they can no longer afford to run the event. Moorabool council’s new park hire policy, which was approved four days after last year’s EasterFest, has banned amusement rides, markets and vehicles on site (other than for display purposes). Groups are also now required to pay $350 for a toilet cleaning fee, a flat $750 hire fee and a $500 bond, bringing up the total cost to $1600.

But the price is too exorbitant for EasterFest organisers, who previously paid a $350 hire fee and a $500 bond. For the past two years, the event has been held at Maddingley Park – the town’s largest public open space – with all money raised going to the Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital. Event co-organiser Dotty Hazell told Star Weekly while the event would still go ahead this year on a much smaller scale, the group would struggle to hold it anywhere other than Maddingley Park in the future. More than 2000 people have turned out to

the past two fundraisers, raising more than $7200 for the hospital’s urgent care department. Ms Hazell said after last year’s event, when a sprinkler was accidentally damaged by an amusement ride operator, the group was told rides would not be allowed back. “We weren’t even made aware of the sprinklers in the first place,” Ms Hazell said. “We weren’t given any maps letting us know what to look out for and where. “The policy doesn’t even say where the sprinklers are – there aren’t any maps attached to the policy.”

When Ms Hazell raised her concerns at last week’s council meeting, Moorabool council’s social and organisational development manager Danny Colgan said the hire fees were consistent with the costs borne by the council and park committee. He said repairs after the damage at a previous EasterFest had exceeded the $500 bond. This year’s EasterFest will run at Village Green, but Ms Hazell said she will meet with council officers in coming weeks to “negotiate a suitable resolution” for Maddingley Park’s new hire policy.

Security tightens after break-ins By Sumeyya Ilanbey Moorabool council will ramp up security at a Bacchus Marsh depot that’s been broken into 15 times in two years, with thieves causing damage valued at $250,000. The crime spree at the depot has prompted council officers to bring forward planned security upgrades, which will cost between $60,000 and $70,000. The chain mesh entry gates will be replaced with a mechanical sliding steel security gate, steel beam guard fences will be installed,

alarms and fob readers will be upgraded, extra security lighting and lasers will be installed, and closed-circuit TV footage will be monitored live. In a report to last week’s council meeting, officers said they expected the upgrades to make it harder for criminals to access the site, while live monitoring would prompt a quick police response if break-ins were detected. “The upgrades are intended to improve the overall security at the site, reduce the likelihood of further break-ins resulting in theft and/or damage, increase the likelihood of recovery of

stolen items, and/or prosecution of offenders,” the report stated. “In turn, it is expected that the out-of-pocket expenses to council and down-time for staff would reduce.” One break-in at the site, when a tractor was stolen, cost Moorabool council more than $100,000. The replacement of the tractor (after insurance fees) cost $70,000, hiring replacement tools cost $30,000, damage to ute toolboxes cost $750, while damage to gates cost $500. Staff costs while police attended were $350, and the cost of staff time reviewing

CCTV footage, insurance forms and police reports was $750. Other major items stolen from the site include a slasher, water truck and chipper. “Although some of this plant has been able to be recovered, damage to the property, costs associated with insurance and substantial down-time for staff have resulted in significant out of pocket expenses to council,” officers reported. “Even if nothing is stolen, it is estimated that each event would have a minimum cost of $5000 in staff time and repairs.”

Diggers Rest in the line of fire

Darwin draws an old soldier back When Allan Godfrey returned home after serving in World War II, the evenings were marred by nightmares and the afternoons with flashbacks. The now 94-year-old was only a “little boy” aged 17 when he joined the war. His journey started in Darwin, where he was stationed for 13 months, and took him to New Guinea, Philippines, Borneo and Malaya where he rescued Australian prisoners of war. “When you see blokes’ legs blown up, you can never forget ’em – it’s just one of those things,” Mr Godfrey said.

He is one of a handful of World War II veterans still alive – and he’s heading back to where it all started, Darwin, for what may be the last time, thanks to the generosity of the Caroline Springs RSL. Mr Godfrey will fly to Darwin in business class with his great-granddaughter, and carer, Rhiannon for eight days next week. “I used to try and get back there every year, and think of where I started from,” he said. “It means a lot to be able to take my great-granddaughter up there … I was only a little boy then, I didn’t know nothing.”

Life was hard back then, Mr Godfrey says. Food wasn’t scarce, but the only way to be fed was to live off the land and catch your own game. “The boys used to eat anything they can get, and sometimes we couldn’t get supplies,” he said. Caroline Springs RSL president Peter Burquest said the club regularly helped community members. “We’re always doing something,” he said. Sumeyya Ilanbey

An out-of-control grass fire swept across paddocks and threatened homes near the Bulla-Diggers Rest Road last Saturday, with 34 fire trucks and four air crews scrambling to get it under control. One house was damaged while residents at others were told it was too late to leave after the fire broke out at 11.20 am. There were no reports of injuries. Crews manning the Country Fire Authority tankers and a fire-bombing plane managed to bring the blaze under control about 3pm. Strong northerly winds fanned the flames, aided by temperatures up to 34 degrees. Firefighters issued an emergency warning at 1.15pm telling locals it was no longer safe to leave their houses, as flames raced south toward the Calder Freeway along Coopers Road. CFA spokesman Steve Pitcher said about 110 hectares had been burned once the flames died down. “(The fire) changed direction several times during the day, which created conditions for firefighters that were a cause for concern for our safety,” Mr Pitcher said. “It makes it very difficult to fight.” The owner of Sampenny Kennels and Cattery at Bulla, Bob Laider, was forced to leave his animals behind when the CFA ordered him to evacuate. He said a neighbour stayed behind, and had assured him that the dogs and cats were all fine. The nearby Organ Pipes National Park was closed while firefighters battled the blaze heading in its direction.

Journey through art A colourful, Dreamtime-inspired mural adorns the walls of two portable classrooms at Melton West Primary School. Grades 5 and 6 students last year worked with Aboriginal artist Jo Layton to create the piece, which infused Aboriginal design concepts with students’ cultural identities. The mural is part of the Royal Children’s Hospital’s Festival of Healthy Living, which focuses on engaging young people in the arts,

school art teacher Sally Shoebridge said. “The students sketched, etched, designed and finally made a tile out of recycled cardboard that was printed on the mural,” Ms Shoebridge said. “The mural itself depicted a journey, in this case through primary school, with the river and Aboriginal art representing the journey, and the tiles representing the student’s’ identity.” Sumeyya Ilanbey

Take me home By Sumeyya Ilanbey Bronte the three-legged moggy is looking for a new home. The short-haired cat was rescued from a Brimbank property several months ago, after locals called Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten Rescue founder Nathan Miles about her “distressing” condition. Bronte, who had a litter of kittens with her,

was limping after breaking her back right leg. Mr Miles said the 18-month-old feline was probably in excruciating pain for quite some time before being found in late November. Bronte has since had her leg amputated, been desexed and microchipped, and is being looked after by Melton woman Kerilyn. But she needs a permanent home. “She needs to be inside permanently,” Mr Miles says.

“So we’re basically looking for a responsible and loving home for her, just so she can live out the rest of her life. “Special needs animals can sometimes be difficult to find homes for. Even though Bronte’s got three legs, she can get around just fine. She’s been functioning with only three legs for many, many months.” Mr Miles has urged anyone who sees an animal in distress to call RSPCA or the police.

A scorecard for council Melton and Moorabool residents may soon get a call from a state government department about their council’s performance in the past year. Local Government Victoria will call 27,000 Victorians in the next two months as part of its annual Community Satisfaction Survey, with questions being asked about how councils are rated on community consultation, advocacy and customer service. Four hundred residents from each local government area will be selected randomly to take part in the phone survey. Findings from the survey will be published on the Know Your Council website, allowing the public to compare the performances of similar councils. Local Government Victoria will also publish the Statewide Community Satisfaction Survey Research Report after councils receive their reports by the end of May. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the survey helped give councils a better idea of what was important to residents. “This is an important tool to assess the effectiveness of local councils and a great opportunity for Victorians to have their voice heard on the issue,” she said.

All aboard, if you can find a park By Sumeyya Ilanbey It’s been nine years in the making, but Caroline Springs residents finally have their own train station … albeit one with an issue. The station opened on Sunday, January 29, offering 280 services a week, with trains running every 30 minutes during the peak and every hour off-peak. But commuters and councillors are already concerned the 350-space car park won’t be enough for the area’s burgeoning population. The station is surrounded by grasslands,

home to a critically endangered shrub, and it is in an isolated location where there aren’t any off-street parking options. Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey told reporters during the opening she would consider lobbying to get a high-rise car park, expecting the current one to be “full by about 7.30am”. “The city of Melton is a growth corridor, and we’re going to have hundreds of thousands more people coming into this corridor,” she said. Meanwhile, Cambridge ward councillor Steve Abboushi, who’s been using the station

every day, is also worried the 350 spaces won’t be enough to meet the demand. He raised a notice of motion at last week’s council meeting urging it to write to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Kororoit MP Marlene Kairouz “seeking an urgent review of the number of car-parking spaces” at the new Caroline Springs station. “Throughout my [election] campaign, a lot of residents had asked me when the Caroline Springs station is going to open and if they’d have sufficient car parking,” Cr Abboushi told Star Weekly last week.

“In a hugely dense and congested area, car parking is always going to be an issue.” When Star Weekly visited the station last Wednesday – three days after its opening – there were about 150 empty car park spaces. One commuter, Moses, said he was impressed with the design of the station and was pleased buses had serviced the area from day one. Caroline Springs student Bea said she doesn’t have to travel to Watergardens to catch a train. “I’ve heard that there’s limited spaces for car parking, but I think you just have to try out the station first and see what happens.”

Leaders of special note It all started with an advertisement in a local paper – a beautiful four-year-old girl with a gorgeous smile looking for a permanent home. The moment Barb Patterson laid eyes on Sam (not her real name), she fell in love. How can you not, she says pointing to a wall full of Sam’s photos: “Just look at that happy face.” That was 22 years ago. Since then, Barb and Bob Patterson have fostered another three children with disabilities. They’ve opened their hearts and home to help the “child beneath the surface” shine through. “You just stared into those little eyes, and this supposedly vegetative child (Sam) was really there,” Ms Patterson says. “And she was just this tiny little precious poppet.” In 2010, while the Pattersons were also caring for a boy called Max (not his real name), Sam died. Two years later, Max lost his battle, too. Ms Patterson says they decided not to go on fostering children – after all, they had been

full-time carers for two youngsters for 17 years. Their retirement lasted a month. “We felt that Sam and Max taught us so much … and that disability was just a word. We found out who they were, and we found the child within them,” Ms Patterson says. “We learnt so much medically, and so we had that skillset given to us as well.” The duo, with the help of their children and grandchildren, are now caring for two siblings who are full of life and “cheek”. “They have such character and personalities.” Their generosity not only earned the Pattersons Melton council’s 2017 Access and Inclusion Leader of the Year award, but a special place in their grandchildren’s hearts. Riley, 12, wants to be “exactly like grandpa”. “They’re doing a great job for families who don’t have the same privileges as us,” he says. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Council shoots down range plan By Sumeyya Ilanbey Plans for an outdoor shooting range at Balliang East have been described as “too intensive”, and could threaten farming on nearby properties if it went ahead, Moorabool councillors have been told. A planning application by Metro Practice Shooting Range Incorporated, at 392 Moretons Road next to an existing shooting range, sought to operate from 9am until 10pm Mondays to Saturdays, and from noon until 10pm on Sundays. The existing shooting range is limited to two days a week, and was approved on the

basis it would cease operating if the applicant no longer continued the business at that site. While the zoning doesn’t specifically prohibit an outdoor shooting range, council officers said such a facility was not an appropriate use for the site proposed. The area is in a farming zone, with nearby properties used for grazing and livestock production. Moorabool councillors voted against the application, backing officers’ recommendation that the shooting range would be incompatible with neighbouring land uses, and did not represent “orderly planning of the area”.

“This intensity … could limit future farming opportunities on adjacent properties, if they intend to expand or seek alternative productive farming uses,” the officers’ report stated. “A negative for the proposal is there is already an outdoor shooting range (next door). “This will have the effect [of] exacerbating amenity impacts, if both sites are operating at the same time.” Operating a shooting range seven days a week could attract large numbers of shooters, and many non-shooters gathering for social activities, officers said. Metro Practice Shooting Range

Incorporated – a not-for-profit club with 200 members – wanted to build three fixed traps with a 120-metre reclamation mound, two shooting bunkers with dirt side walls and a two metre-high bulka bag walls. Clay targets were to be made of biodegradable products, while projectiles would be brass, lead and steel. The application also included a 10-space car park, one disabled person’s space, and a portable toilet. Council received six objections, citing concerns about noise. A consultation meeting was held between one objector and the permit applicant, but a resolution wasn’t achieved.

A good sign for Melton Noelle Dickson, mother of Sarah Cafferkey who was murdered in 2012, will speak at the event about her experiences. The next banner-making workshop will be at Bunnings Melton, 149 Barries Road, from 10am-noon on Saturday, February 18. The Walk With Her will start at 11.40am on Sunday, March 5, at Hannah Watts Park, High Street, Melton. For more information, search “Health Promotion at Djerriwarrh Health Services” on Facebook.

Melton residents are gearing up to “walk with her’” to help create a safer, more respectful and tolerant community. Leading up to the Walk With Her early next month, Djerriwarrh Health Services is hosting a series of workshops to help design and make a banner that will be displayed during the event. The walk will be led by the Melton Women Making It Happen group. Its members are passionate about promoting respect and safety, especially for women and children. Djerriwarrh chief executive Andrew Freeman said those involved were working for a community free from violence and one in which women could feel free to live safely. “More than one woman a week is killed in Australia as a result of violence perpetrated by a man,” Mr Freeman said. “Campaigns like [this] are a great opportunity for communities to come together and take action on the issue.”

By Adam Cooper, The Age A man who murdered his former partner because she would no longer be with him has been jailed for 23 years, with the judge noting the woman stood little chance of survival once her ex decided she should die. Makeny Banek repeatedly punched and kicked Abuk Akek, 20, in her Melton unit on March 13 last year, then stabbed her three times with a knife when he realised he could not kill her by punching her. Banek put Ms Akek’s body on her bed once she was dead and covered her with a sheet, cleaned her flat, then left, only to return later that afternoon to look for his mobile phone. While there, he put a plastic white rose next to her head on the pillow. Banek’s lawyer previously argued his action in placing the flower beside Ms Akek showed a lack of insight, but on Wednesday Supreme Court Justice Michael Croucher described the act as “weird and disturbing”. Justice Croucher said Banek told police he had decided to kill Ms Akek once she had made it clear she no longer wanted to be in a relationship with him. Banek formed the view “if you want to leave me, I might as well take you with me”, the judge said. Ms Akek had left Banek about a month before she was killed. They had a son together, who is now aged three. The little boy was with his grandmother on the day of the attack. Justice Croucher said Banek had previously

served time in jail for assaulting Ms Akek, and that his decision to kill her reflected his “distorted, selfish and deeply repugnant thinking”. When Banek began assaulting Ms Akek after arriving at her unit, the aspiring law student stood little chance, the court heard. “She was small, petite and alone. He was tall, rangy and intent on killing her,” Justice Croucher said. Banek, 25, pleaded guilty to murder after confessing to the attack when police found him asleep at a friend’s house hours afterwards. When arrested, Banek told police: “I snapped, I used a knife and my fists. I love her very much, but she did not love me.” Banek, who is more than two metres tall, was jailed in 2014 for assaulting his then partner. About three weeks before her murder, Ms Akek was with a friend when Banek told the friend: “I could kill her right now … but you are here.” Justice Croucher said Ms Akek’s murder was a grave example of the offence and had cruelly denied her young son of any memory of her. The crime was aggravated by Banek’s history of violence. He had experienced trouble with alcohol and the drugs ice and cannabis in recent years. The judge took into account Banek’s youth, early guilty plea and prospects for rehabilitation. Banek was born in Sudan and came to Australia in 2005 with his family, following 12 years in a refugee camp in Kenya. He and Ms Akek, also born in Sudan, met in 2012. He must serve at least 18 years before he is eligible for parole.

Those portraits, as well as some including the Hardys with their beloved great danes, are being displayed at the Caroline Springs Gallery for all to admire. The Pet Photo Booth, a travelling road show of scenic wallpaper backdrops reminiscent of photo labs at 1980s suburban shopping centres, was a much-loved feature of the festival.

Cr Melissa De Santis Coburn Ward

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of joining Deputy Premier, The Hon James Merlino, Minister for Education and Emergency Services...

As this is my first Ward Talk, I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the residents of Coburn ward for electing me as Councillor of this great City.

...marking the start of construction of Stage 1 of a new secondary college (Years 7-12) in Taylors Hill West. This highly anticipated, much needed educational facility is set to be completed in time for the 2018 school year, and is welcomed by both Council and residents alike. I extend my thanks to the State Government for their commitment to this project.

I am extremely honoured to be representing and advocating for the Melton community in this role.

Congratulations and thanks to all involved.

Works on Stage 3 of the Melton Town Centre Redevelopment Project will commence in the next few weeks, also. The works will take place on McKenzie Street, between Palmerston and Alexandra Streets, and will feature the realignment of the road in front of the Melton Library and Learning Hub, a new grassy open space, and formal car parking on McKenzie Street. The project will also see improvements to outdoor lighting, new tree planting and will better link the library with the old courthouse. Works are scheduled to be completed in November this year, and vehicle access in and out of that section of McKenzie St will be limited throughout construction. Pedestrian access to all businesses, however, will not be affected. For more information, visit Council’s website at www.melton.vic.gov.au

We moved here in 1970 from West Footscray. We got married and we found out about Melton, heard it was pretty good and cheap compared to the other side of the town. But to be honest, we’ve always wanted to stay on this side. What was Melton like in those days? Very different. There weren’t too many houses – there were about 1100 people in the shire.

And we didn’t get mail or anything like that. We got our mail dropped off at another house in another street, because the posties back then would only deliver to streets where there were more than two houses. What’s your favourite thing about living in Melton? I like the people. I like everything about Melton – there’s nothing bad about here. Although other areas say Melton is a bad

Where’s your favourite place to hang out in Melton? My house. Apart from that, we like the Golden Fleece Hotel and Hannah Watts Park … I’m in a lot of walking groups, so I see quite a bit of the area and think it’s beautiful. I’ve also been involved in the Sons of the West program for quite some time. I’m one of the volunteer mentors this year. When I first retired, I didn’t know what I was going to do with myself.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a new reason to love Asian fusion … CHEEKY CHEWIES CAFE Address: 18 Aviation Road, Laverton Phone: 9369 9913 mayo, though we’re told it’s “homemade honey mustard sauce”. The lesson here, I suspect, is never order anything involving pumpkin. The What-A-Burger ($16.90) is okay, the nice slab of pork having a good lemongrass kick. But for the price, this offering seems a little austere when there are so many high-powered burger options across the west at similar prices. The Cheeky Chewies nasi lemak ($14.90) is wonderful – better, fresher and more interesting than in regulation Malaysian eateries. If there’s one thing that prevents nasi lemak being as popular with us as, say, pho or Hainan chicken rice, it is the inclusion of anchovies. Invariably, they seem stale, nasty blemishes. Here at Cheeky Chewies, they are prepared in-house and the result is winning. The sticky chunk of chook rendang is fine, but the real triumph is the house-made sambal. It’s only mildly spicy, but has a rich, deep flavour with a touch of smokiness. Our Thai-style pork/noodle salad ($14.90) is excellently fresh with just the right mix of chilli and lemon. The cafe lattes ($3.90) are superb. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

Asian fusion? We’ve been won over, particularly by West of Kin at Braybrook. But there, the food is ambitious and the tone quite flash. At Cheeky Chewies, a bright new arrival at Laverton, the vibe is more everyday cafe, with asking prices to match – there’s nothing above $20 and most of the more hefty dishes clock up about $16. Actually, while Cheeky Chewies is self-described as offering “Asian fusion”, truth is this place is more about mixing, on the one hand, Western-style fare (a parma, fish and chips) with, on the other, pretty much straight-up Asian offerings. Over two lunches on successive days, Bennie and I eat very well, with only a couple of minor flat spots. Service is top-notch. On our first visit, we tackle a bunch of the small dish offerings on the menu. Chilli wontons (five for $10) are dynamite, the delicate casings housing lovely pork mince filling, with a zingy vinegar chilli sauce. Super Crispy Chicken Wings (four for $8.90) are more wingettes, but are excellent. Nothing flash is served here – simply superbly cooked, unoily chook. My heart sank a little when I saw a bottle sweet chilli sauce, but thankfully that jam-like concoction is served on the side, and is ignored. Cheezy Pumpkin Bags (three for $8) display the same expert frying, but we detect none of the advertised cheesiness – just pumpkin. And the dipping sauce tastes like plain old

We have so many new friends and lifestyle choices, including Cards and pool nights every Wednesday and happy hours on a Friday. Downsizing has given us freedom and we love our open plan home. Our family agree that we have never been so relaxed and happy. The Village is beautifully maintained, we have wonderful neighbours, security and we are all like minded. ANNNETTE

This lifestyle property of about three hectares, midway between Melton and Gisborne, has great infrastructure for hobby farming, with huge sheds – one 18 x10 metres with an industrial cool room and secure storage, another 25 x12 metres with mezzanine storage, plus a two-bay machinery shed. There are also four 22,700-litre water tanks, a paddock out the back and good fencing. The ranch-style house has three bedrooms, the main with a spa en suite with double shower and vanity basins; others have wardrobes and share a dual-basin bathroom. There’s also a study or fourth bedroom. A carpeted theatre room and large, tiled family-meals area couple with a kitchen with Tassie oak cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. Ducted gas heating, a wood heater and three-metre ceilings are other keynote features.

In a family-friendly location, within a five-minute drive of Melton West and Wedge Park primary schools, Woodgrove shopping centre, Cambrian Preschool, and Cambrian Way Reserve (with flying fox playground and barbecue area), this house on about 665 square metres will have first-home buyers and investors showing interest. Solidly built, it has three carpeted bedrooms (two with built-in robes), which share a bathroom. A spacious, carpeted lounge room and a meals area next to the kitchen are the living zones. The galley kitchen has a wall oven, gas cooktop and ample bench space. A leafy, paved courtyard is the spot for relaxation and there’s a bungalow with power that could serve as an office. A double garage is at the end of a long, concrete driveway.

All bright and glossy, this house would make a great start for a young family. Everything’s done except the back garden, and some consider that a plus. The interior colour palette of grey and white is a popular one, and the house has a low-upkeep vibe. The floorplan bisects the house into bedrooms and living areas, which allows the latter to maximise open-plan flow between lounge and family-meals areas. The kitchen has a Caesarstone-topped, five-seater brekkie bench under a trio of stylish pendants, along with a big walk-in pantry and Technika 900mm appliances. Of four bedrooms, the main has walk-through robe and en suite; others have robes and share a hallway with bathroom and separate toilet. Concrete is laid at the side and back to mark spots for future pergolas and the like.

Move the family into this inviting residence in the heart of Kurunjang and you’ll be living in style right away. A practical kitchen dressed in neutral tones has ample storage and stainless-steel appliances. It faces the dining area to inspire family conversations as evening meals are cooked. There is a separate lounge room and three bedrooms (master with walk-in-robe and en suite). The main bathroom is tiled and has a shower and separate bath. A large rear yard is ready for you to make it your own. This is a great opportunty that is close to schools and amenities. Ducted heating, split-system and lock-up double garage seal the deal. This property is currently rented to quality tenants on a month-by-month lease for $295 a week.

BROOKFIELD 30 Barleygrass Crescent, 3338 Raine & Horne: 9743 6866

Price: $345,000 – $365,000

Domain data shows that 50 per cent of Brookfield residents have mortgages, many of them young couples who were probably attracted to entry-level affordability and family-friendly neighbourhoods. This house offers a chance to join in these same benefits. Investors will take note, too, with it now tenanted at $315 a week until October this year. The house, with a colour palette of grey,

sandstone and off-white, has entry via a tiled hallway, with the main bedroom to the right. This has vertical blinds – which are on all windows – a walk-in robe and an en suite with a bowl-basin atop a chocolate vanity with latte laminate bench. Another bedroom with built-in robe is next door; this would also make a great study, TV snug or playroom, as it links well with the living hub. Remaining bedrooms, with built-in robes,

are down a carpeted hallway, as are a separate toilet and the main bathroom. Tiles anchor the kitchen and meals zone in the hub, while the light-filled sitting area (with split-system) has grey carpet. The kitchen has a long bench of mottled-latte laminate, grey cabinetry, white splashback tiles, a cupboard pantry, dishwasher, underbench oven, and gas cooktop under a canopy rangehood. An in-wall slider connects kitchen with

laundry, which has a closet and direct access to a paved utility area. The 400-square-metre block has a good-sized backyard that offers scope to create an entertainment area, gardens and greenery – it’s a blank canvas right now. Final notes are ducted heating and a double garage with internal access through the laundry. Carole Levy 21 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 7, 2017

SPORT Bulls slip to sixth after an up-and-down weekend Bacchus Marsh moved into the Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup top four at the weekend – but only for 24 hours. In a busy weekend for the Bulls, they played day two of their match against Gisborne on Saturday and then a one-day match against Riddell on Sunday. On Saturday, the Bulls pulled off arguably their best win of the season by beating fellow finals contender Gisborne. The Bulls had made 189 on day one, Alex Porter top scoring with 62. The match went down to the wire, with the Dragons losing their last three wickets for five runs to be bowled out for 185. Madushanka Ekanayaka was the pick of the bowlers with 4-35. The result moved the Bulls ahead of the Dragons into fourth spot. On Sunday, the Bulls faced Riddell, the form team of the competition. Batting first, the Bulls

made 9-137 from their overs, with opener Mili Sepala top scoring with 41. The Bulls got the early wickets they needed, snaring Brendan Alger and danger man Mick Allen. But the Bombers then settled and easily chased down the target, finishing on 4-141 with more than nine overs to spare. The loss coupled with wins to the Dragons and Woodend meant the Bulls slipped to sixth. Less than nine points separates the top six teams, with just under five points separating third to sixth. Diggers Rest Bulla is also out of the top four after a mixed weekend. The Burras finished the job on Saturday against Rupertswood. Resuming at 2-61 and chasing 125, the Burras made the runs easily, being bowled out for 170. Andrew Knight top scored with 46.

Rupertswood made 2-101 in its second innings. On Sunday Woodend presented a much tougher challenge for the Burras. Both sides are fighting to make finals. The Burras made 5-141 from their overs, with Steven Fogarty the standout with 66. Woodend lost frequent wickets throughout its innings and was 8-130 when still needing 12 to win. But the Burras couldn’t get the breakthrough, with Woodend finishing 8-142. Skipper Rhys Berry was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4-14 off eight overs, including four maidens. The loss leaves the Burras in fifth spot, 2.48 points outside the top four. Both the Bulls and Burras have tough matches in the coming round – they face Woodend and Sunbury respectively. Tara Murray

Madushanka Ekanayaka took four wickets for the Bulls on Saturday.

Sports shorts Swimming

Melton Swimming Club was represented by two swimmers at the National Open Age Championships in Adelaide recently. Mitchell Willis finished 17th in the 17-18 year boys’ age group, while Jye Burton, competing in his first national championships, finished 24th in the 14 years boys’ age group.

Soccer

Spring Hills will host Craigieburn City in the second round of qualifiers for the Victorian stage of the FFA Cup on February 18. Round two includes all FFV state league 5 teams, some state league 4 sides and a number of non-state league sides, which have won through the first round. Melton Phoenix will come into the first round.

Cricket

Darley will resume at 0-7 against North Ballarat in their Ballarat Cricket Association match. Looking to cement their spot in the top four, the Lions started slowly, before their bowlers restricted North Ballarat to 9-207. A declaration came late on day one, as North Ballarat sought a couple of quick wickets, but it wasn’t to be. Sajith Rupasingha and Matt Cape took four wickets apiece for the Lions. Josh Casey and the Melton South Primary School Cricket Club bowlers did the job on Saturday. (Damian Visentini)

Royals back on track By Tara Murray Melton South Primary School Cricket Club teammates knew once things clicked, the wins would start flowing for them in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s west A1 division. The Royals have had just one win, at Christmas and courtesy of a forfeit, but they knew they had a better side than that. Signs things were turning their way showed through in the first round after the Christmas break, but they weren’t able to get another win. Last round, they backed up against Seabrook and got the win they wanted. And on Saturday, they made it two wins from as many matches, trumping top-four side Williamstown Imperials. Defending 161, the Royals bowled the Imperials out for 102, and were 1-40 in their second innings when stumps were called. Royals’ skipper Blake Ivory said it was 46 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 7, 2017

satisfying to get results for all the hard work they’d been putting in. “It reassured us the things we’ve been working towards have been working,” he said. “We’ve got some reward for efforts, and know that we aren’t that far off. They are a top four side, and we still have a lot of room for improvement.” Ivory said despite making just 161, they thought the score would be a competitive one. “It was a pretty slow pitch that was keeping low,” he said. “Another 20 to 30 runs to defend would have been ideal. We had them 1-11 overnight, which was a huge bonus. “We got a few wickets and bowled really well. We thought, if we stuck at it, things would fall our way.” Despite two straight wins, the Royals’ finals hopes are only mathematical. Ivory said continuing the efforts they’ve been putting in the last few weeks is the focus.

“We have two games left, and we can win both of them,” he said. “Finals aren’t within reach, so it’s about the things we’ve been working on … we’re not that far way. We just need to be more consistent, as there’s a big gap between our good and bad.” The Royals are set to have three of their five teams in finals. In other west A1 results, Melton Centrals remain in the top two despite not taking to the field. County West forfeited for the second time this season, handing the Centrals a win. In north A1, Sydenham/Hillside proved too good for Aberfeldie Park. Chasing 7-251, the Sharks made 7-262 in reply. The win moves the Sharks into the top four. Bottom side Caroline Springs had another tough match, losing to East Coburg. The Falcons total of 93 was never going to be enough. East Coburg cruised to a 100-run win, finishing 6-193.

Bowls

Melton returned to the winners list in Bowls Victoria Pennant division 1, section 1 on Saturday. Having struggled in recent weeks, Melton came out on top against fellow battler Werribee. The two teams shared the rinks, with Melton winning 79 (14)-69 (4). Despite the win, Melton remains seventh on the ladder, 27 points behind fourth-placed Sunbury.

WSCCCA

Rockbank had a massive win against Williams Landing in the Western Suburbs Churches and Community Cricket Association’s A.E. Lowe Shield. Needing 154 to win, the Rams smashed 6-352, with Jackson Spencer and Jordan Porter both making centuries. Eynesbury Eagles also had an easy win, while Taylors Hill lost to St Johns.

SPORT

Youth and new arrivals breed excitement at Centrals Centrals, who were knocked out in the first week of finals last season, have lost Natasha Maea, Danica Emery, Melissa Laird, Jess Watton and Tran Troung. But a record number of players tried out for the four sides. A bit of luck went Centrals way in finding replacements – former Sunbury Lions pair Rachel Dovaston and Sally Portbury have made the move. Pereira said Dovaston had improved out of sight since he saw her play a few years ago and would add variety to the defence. Portbury would fill the wing attack position left vacant

by the retirement of Troung. Centrals have also picked up Rita White-Kay, who will give them a third shooter. “They [Sally and Rachel] called us up, saying they were looking for a club and decided to join us before trials,” Pereira said. “Both have played in the Victorian Netball League. Jade Fisher comes from Altona and Caitlin Duncan is a defender who can play in the mid-court. “We needed another shooter and Rita and her sister, Hannah White, turned up to try-outs. Hannah will play B grade, but could easily play A grade.”

Pereira said one of the most pleasing things about the club’s pre-season had been the number of girls they had for the under-19 team. At one stage last season, the existence of an under-19 team was looking a shaky proposition. “We’ve got four girls who are 15 so it is a young side,” Pereira said. “It’s exciting for the future.” He said the club had lost a few C-grade players, so some under-19 players would be given chances to step up.

Lions put batting woes behind them

Melton finally found some form with the bat in Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association’s east-west competition. Having struggled since Christmas, the Lions’ top and middle orders did the job on day one of their match against 11th-placed Yarraville. The Lions, after losing their last three games, needed a win to keep their finals hopes alive, after slipping out of the top six. Anthony Gale, Ben MacRae and skipper David Kirk were the main run-makers for the Lions on Saturday, in the team’s total of 6-240. MacRae top-scored with 80, while Gale made 41, one short of his season’s best. Meanwhile, Kirk notched up his third half century of the season, making 57. The score is the Lions’ highest total of the season so far. The Lions’ second side posted an almost identical score to their firsts, making 241, also against Yarraville. Nathan Dantonio top-scored with 56 and Aaron Clarke chipped in with 45. The Lions women’s side had the weekend off, as the final of the Women’s premier seconds T20 grand final was held, with Melbourne defeating Carlton-Brunswick. The one-day competition, in which the Lions sit second on the ladder, resumes on Sunday. The Lions will face ladder-leaders Ringwood this weekend.

Centrals focus on girls By Tara Murray Melton Centrals are keen on providing a pathway for girls from Auskick through to the senior women’s football side. The junior arm of the club already fields an under-18 youth league side and is looking at adding two more girls teams for the coming season. Centrals junior football and netball club secretary Kirsten Mitchener said there was a lot of interest in expanding girls football at the club

and in the Riddell District Football League, the competition in which Centrals play. “We had about 28 girls play last season and have already had a lot of interest this season,” she said. “We’ll again have a youth girls side and want to have under-15s and under-12s.” Coaches have been appointed for the under-15 and under-18 teams. The club will look at appointing an under-12 coach once it has confirmed enough numbers for a team. The club this season has two girls, Emmerson Hitch and Chelsea Jansen, who have been

Mustangs revel in new home Melton Hockey Club is ready for a new era following the move to its new state-of-the-art facilities in the middle of last season. Mustangs stalwart Kellie McLaren says the new headquarters at Atherstone are “brilliant”. “The old place didn’t have running water and only one toilet,” she said of the club’s Mowbray College home. “Having the new facility has definitely attracted new players. There’s a really good feel about the club.” As well as having new changerooms and facilities, the club has access to more than one pitch – meaning more than one age group can train at the same time. The club will have a grand opening of the new headquarters on April 1 and celebrate the club’s 40th anniversary at the same time. The club’s 40th year was last season, but the Mustangs held off celebrating until the move had been completed.

‘‘

There’s a really good feel about the club

’’

- Kellie McLaren

As well as providing better facilities for the club’s current players, McLaren said the move had opened up new opportunities. “The club is hosting a junior tournament, which is open to all clubs in the state, in late March,” she said. “It’s the first time we’ve been able to hold a tournament. The [old] grounds had been deemed unsafe the last four years.” On field, the Mustangs will have new coaches for all their senior sides. They expect to announce the new coaches in coming weeks. Tara Murray

named in the Western Jets Youth Girls Academy. Mitchener said it wasn’t just on the football field that’s girls sport was growing. The club will have seven junior netball teams as well. The football come and try nights will be held at Arnolds Creek Recreation Reserve on February 22 and March 1 from 5.30pm. No experience is needed and all interested girls are being encouraged to attend. Details: mcjfc09@ gmail.com Club training will start on Feburary 13.

Long-time Melton Centrals coach Randy Pereira reckons he has every reason to be excited about the new Riddell District Netball League season. Pereira says his side is looking good for the coming campaign. “We have five new players and on paper the side is better than last year’s team,” he said. “They’re yet to play together, but they’ve gelled well at training. We should also have a strong B-grade and under-19s team.” He said that aside from veterans such as Bec Morabito and Jess May, the playing group had a good youth feel about it.

RON’S VERDICT Smart, sweet and oh so Audi.

e’re so used to customising our electronic devices that personalising a dashboard is a no-brainer … so thumbs up for the instrument options in the A4’s virtual cockpit, showing the way of the future. You can choose to have your sat-nav map display front and centre, flanked by the speedo and other gauges, or vice-versa. A knob and a couple of buttons on the centre console operate the audio and phone on an iPad-like screen. It’s all very snazzy, functional and kind of familiar, so cheers to the Audi TT sports car for paving the way. The Audi’s interior is also sophisticated. The finish is exemplary and the rear seat leg room is the biggest in its class, thanks to an efficient front-wheel-drive layout. On the outside, the design might be status quo, but it is still stylish and appealing. Easy to drive, equally powerful and sweet, it’s not hard to feel right at home here.

JACQUI’S VERDICT

C O N S E N S US \ A GROUND-UP REBUILD TAKES THE A4 TO NEW HEIGHTS (iStock)

udi’s designers could not be accused of taking outrageous liberties with the exterior of the latest A4. Their theme seems to have been “status quo”. But beneath the familiar skin is the most extensive makeover in the car’s history, starting with all-new lightweight architecture and suspension systems. Bigger in most dimensions than its predecessor, the A4 is nevertheless about 65 kilograms lighter. Our test car was the mid-range front-wheel-drive 2.0-litre turbo petrol TFSI Sport automatic that can speed to 100km/h in about 7.2 seconds – similar to Mercedes-Benz’s C200 and BMW’s 320i. The Audi is bigger inside than those cars, plus a smidgeon more affordable. But it’s less composed under hard acceleration. You could step up to Audi’s all-wheel-drive grip, but that requires an extra $9000 for the 2.0 Quattro. A wise investment, however, is the optional adaptive comfort damper system that takes the sting out of the firm suspension.
