No regrets for this egret Move over Stuart, a new bird has commandeered Kororoit Creek. And she’s bigger, stronger and an Australian native. Friends of Kororoit Creek (FOKC) president Jessica Gerger and her daughter Georgia have built a giant egret from used milk cartons and gaffer tape. And while she may resemble ‘Stuart’, a white domesticated duck often spotted in Buckingham Reserve’s creek, Ms Gerger says she’s been modelled on one of Australia’s most elegant birds, the eastern great egret. The bird, who Georgia has named The Love Angel, took her maiden voyage recently to test her buoyancy. The journey was deemed a success and The Love Angel will now be used to collect rubbish from the banks of the creek. A video about a boat made from washed-up plastic bottles in India was the inspiration behind the project. “My husband, daughter and I went down to Michel’s Patisserie and Muffin Break at Sunshine Marketplace and asked them if they’d donate their bottles … and within about a week and a half we had about 400,” Ms Gerger said. The FOKC has adopted the bird as their mascot and she is expected to make an appearance at all FOKC events. JESSICA GERGER

New police on the beat By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton and Caroline Springs residents rallying for extra frontline police have been “absolutely instrumental” in the municipality receiving a resourcing boost it desperately needed, according to the police union. Victoria Police on Thursday announced Melton and Caroline Springs would get an extra 16 frontline police over the next 12 months, as part of the 300 funded in last year’s state budget. The crime investigation unit and the sexual offences and child abuse investigation team, based in the Brimbank and Melton police services area, will get an extra nine and five detectives respectively. The 300 police will be deployed to some of the

state’s fastest growing suburbs with the highest needs based on a staffing model developed by Victoria Police and the Police Association. The western suburbs, including Wyndham, Maribyrnong, Melton and Brimbank, will receive an extra 100 officers, the northern suburbs 134, the south-east 50, and Geelong will get an additional 10. As part of its 2017-18 budget being announced today, the state government will fund more than 3000 police to be rolled out over the next four years, with 2000 of those slated for frontline duties. The $2 billion commitment was made late last year following a so-called “crime wave”, and months of lobbying by the community and police union.

Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt commended Victoria Police for making a priority of Melbourne’s growth corridors, where police are “urgently required”. “Our members in the Melton police service area have been desperately under-resourced for a significant period of time and they’re facing surmounting challenges in a growth corridor,” Sergeant Gatt said. The community can expect to see a greater police presence on the streets, and police response times could be significantly reduced. “The Police Association wants to thank the community of Caroline Springs and Melton … for the support they have given our members. They have been absolutely instrumental in this announcement.”

The extra police will start appearing at stations from next month, with all 300 to be deployed by April next year. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the organisation would continue working with the police union to determine where the 2000 frontline officers would be deployed over the coming years. “Whilst these extra police will greatly strengthen local police responses in those areas selected, it’s important to stress that this is just the start,” he said. Today’s state budget will also include funding for a 24-hour police assistance line, automatic number plate recognition technology for highway patrol cars and a new air wing.

Police condemn carnage A Hillside man is among 12 people who died on Victorian roads during a two-week police operation. The 40-year-old died after the motorcycle he was riding was struck by a car in St Albans on Anzac Day. His death marked the end of the statewide Operation Nexus, which ran from April 13 to April 25. More than 19,500 traffic offences and about 2600 crimes were detected on Victorian roads during the operation. Local police detected 370 offences in Melton and 270 offences in Moorabool during Operation Nexus. In Melton, police nabbed eight drink drivers, 11 drug drivers, 26 disqualified drivers and 18 unlicenced drivers. There were 200 speeding offences recorded, 16 sign disobeys, 15 seatbelt offences, 11 mobile phone offences and 67

unregistered vehicles. Police impounded five vehicles. And in Moorabool, there were four drink drivers, six drug drivers, four disqualified drivers and seven unlicenced drivers detected. Police recorded 220 speeding offences, three sign disobeys, three seatbelt offences and 23 unregistered vehicles and impounded two vehicles. Victoria Police road policing command acting deputy commissioner Doug Fryer described the numbers as “madness”. “As the operation came to a close [on April 25], 12 families went to bed mourning the loss of one of their own, with their lives changed forever,” he said. The fatalities over the two-week operation included a: • 58 year-old male cyclist who collided with a car in Pakenham on April 14;

• 91 year-old man killed in a two-car collision in Tynong North on April 15; • 21 year-old man who died after his car crashed into a tree in Tallandoon on April 18; • 85 year-old pedestrian who was hit by a cyclist in St Kilda on April 18; • 69 year-old passenger killed in a two-car collision in Cann River on April 19; • Four-year-old boy who was struck by a four-wheel-drive at a Berwick medical centre carpark on April 21; • 66 year-old man killed in a two-car collision in Goornong on April 21; • 55 year-old man who struck a tree in Alexandra on April 21; • 43 year-old pedestrian who was struck by a car on April 21; • 27 year-old motorcylist who collided with a minibus at French Island on April 23.

Business tunes in to brigade’s frequency The Melton fire brigade has bought vital radio equipment thanks to a $1900 donation from a local business. Station officer Matt Chilton said the portable radios were vital to ensure the safety of firefighters. The radios cost about $2600 and Melton IGA has contributed $1877 towards it. “Donations from local businesses are very important because it helps the brigade get the little things that are important for day-to-day business,” Mr Chilton said. “And [it instills in us the belief] that people are still willing to donate money to help the community and for something that is going to save lives.” Sumeyya Ilanbey

Ram raiders strike it lucky Hooded ram-raiders who smashed their way into a Taylors Hill shopping centre and made off with an ATM may have been casing the premises weeks ago. Thieves drove a Toyota LandCruiser four-wheel-drive through the glass doors of the Watervale Shopping Centre about 4am on Monday. A white Mazda van followed the 4WD inside. The LandCruiser travelled 50 metres inside the shopping centre and hit the ATM, pushing it off its base. The four crooks loaded the ATM into the van and drove off, leaving the LandCruiser behind in the middle of the shopping centre and a trail of destruction. Martin, from centre management, said he believed the crime had been meticulously planned. “We’ve got footage of them three weeks ago casing the joint,” he told 3AW. “They’re hooded, wear gloves, usually walk around with crowbars.” Martin said centre management had offered footage of the thieves to police. “They said, ‘well just keep it for the time being’, so now that this has occurred they’ve got all the details of the previous activities here.” He estimated the thieves caused about $30,000 worth of damage. The white van is believed to have been stolen from Northcote between March 16 and 30. The LandCruiser was examined at the scene by police on Monday. Detectives are urging anyone with information about the burglary or the whereabouts of the stolen Mazda to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Nardella agrees to repay money Melton MP Don Nardella has agreed to repay almost $100,000 he claimed for living in Ocean Grove. Despite insisting for months he had done nothing wrong, Mr Nardella issued a statement on Friday saying he agreed to repay the money to address “the significantly negative impact and distraction” of the issue on his family and colleagues. “I have taken this decision despite my ardent belief that I followed at all time the regulations as set down by the Parliament,” Mr Nardella said in a statement. “The past several weeks have been very stressful and difficult for my family and I now wish to continue focussing on looking after the needs of my constituents and electorate.” Fairfax Media reported the former deputy speaker will repay the money by taking a pay cut between now and the November 2018 election, with a further $16,000 to be paid as a lump sum by November 24, 2018. Mr Nardella’s decision to repay the $98,000 he claimed in second residence allowances while living in Ocean Grove followed a state government announcement that the parliamentary allowances systems would be drastically overhauled. Premier Daniel Andrews last week promised to get tough on MPs entitlements to restore public confidence in the “badly bruised” Parliament following revelations Mr Nardella and Tarneit MP Telmo

Languiller claimed an allowance designed for regional MPs. Mr Andrews also indicated Parliament would force Mr Nardella to pay back the $98,000 if the Melton MP refused to do so. “If he does not pay that money back before these bills come into the Parliament in just a couple of months time … the parliament will take that matter out of Mr Nardella’s hands and we will recover that money,” Mr Andrews told a press conference.

‘‘

The past several weeks have been very stressful - Don Nardella and difficult

’’

Under the proposed changes to the parliamentary allowances system: • Second residence allowances will only be available for regional MPs representing seats outside an 80-kilometre radius of Melbourne. • A commercial vehicle travel allowance available to MPs in large regional electorates will be restricted to air-travel only. • MPs will no longer be allowed to rollover annual travel from one year to the next, and spouses will no longer be funded. • MPs caught rorting the system will face a 25 per cent penalty on wrongly claimed entitlements.

Call for foster carers When Nicole Palmer first considered becoming a foster carer, she didn’t realise the sheer number of children needing a foster home. She thought the numbers were few and far between. It didn’t take long to realise that wasn’t the case. “I’d have one child leave in the morning and another arrive in the evening,” Ms Palmer says. The Kurunjang woman said when her daughter was born five years ago and she separated from her partner Ms Palmer decided she wanted to do something to teach her daughter about compassion. She joined Baptcare four years ago and since then has cared for more than 40 children. And each time she’s thought about taking a

break, Ms Palmer said her daughter urged her to continue opening her heart and home to vulnerable children. “My daughter didn’t let me stop, she didn’t want me to stop,” Ms Palmer says. Baptcare’s family and community services manager Hayley Robinette said there was a dire need for more foster carers in Melton. “Fostering can be really challenging, we need to be upfront about that, but there are lots of rewards,” Ms Robinette said. “Sometimes it’s the first time a child says they feel safe.” For more information call 9831 7222.

What began as a small idea to get more girls playing school footy in Caroline Springs has grown into one of the biggest women’s junior football tournaments in Victoria. This Friday the fourth Caroline Springs District Girls Football Competition will be held, with Christ the Priest Catholic Primary School hoping for its fourth straight title. Christ the Priest coach Aron Lombardi said the tournament had experienced huge growth over the four years. “In 2013 there was no competition, and the next two years it was just us and Parkwood Green Primary School,” he said. “Now there are eight sides and over 160 girls taking part, which is fantastic to see.” The competition is held at the Caroline

Springs town centre ovals on May 5, and Christ the Priest has taken out the district title in each of the three years it has participated. They made the state finals last year, and won the state championship in the AFL 9s competition. Mr Lombardi said the success of the new national competition was having a profound impact at local level. “They’re really passionate about it, we don’t struggle to get the girls excited about playing,” he said. “They train really hard and we’ve seen good results on the park, which is nice. “At the end of the day it’s mainly about making sure all the girls have fun.”

Court sequel for Parwan ice bid By Alicia Thomas, The Courier A 31 year-old man who was caught attempting to import ephedrine from India to manufacture drugs in his chook shed has faced court in Ballarat. Patrick Leonidas, of Parwan, near Bacchus Marsh, had researched on the internet how to make methylamphetamine (ice) in an effort to make money to help support his young family, a County Court sitting in Ballarat last week heard. The father of three, who once attempted to become a priest in Greece, had contacted a man in India from whom he purchased $6842 worth

of ephedrine, the drug used to manufacture ice. The court heard the shipment of the ephedrine was intercepted when it arrived in Sydney sewn into the lining of garments sent in a drycleaning bag from New Delhi. The address on the shipment was linked to a post office box Leonidas had opened in Melton. On June 15, 2016, Australian Federal Police attended Leonidas’s Parwan property where a lab was found in a small chicken shed. Keys to the Melton post office box, laboratory glassware and instructions on how to make ice using ephedrine were also found. Leonidas made admissions of attempting to manufacture the drug ice, telling police

he legally purchased some of the scientific equipment found in the chicken shed from the Ballarat and Melton areas. But he said had never made the drug or sold any. Leonidas pleaded guilty to one count each of attempting to traffic methylamphetamine, the commonwealth offence of importing tier one goods and possessing cannabis. He faces a maximum of 15 years behind bars for attempting to traffic the drug. Leonidas’s lawyer, Ruth Shann, told the court it was clear her client was a long way from making any drugs, with Leonidas abandoning his attempt to do so in April, 2016.

She explained to the court her client, who had ended up bankrupt in 2013, wanted to make more money and get back into a position to support his family. Ms Shann added the decision to embark on the “ridiculous” endeavour was out of character for her client, who had no criminal history. With his excellent rehabilitation prospects, she submitted a community corrections order was a sentencing option open to the court. But the Crown did not agree, submitting an immediate term of prison was called for. The plea hearing will continue on May 12, when it is expected Ms Shann will make further submissions.

Soccer cops some fun More than 500 Melton youngsters braved cold, wet and wild weather last Wednesday to play soccer with the boys and girls in blue. For the first time in a decade, the Victoria Police Soccer Club – made up of police officers from across the state – hosted soccer clinics in Melton to engage with children aged eight to 12. Sergeant Martin Kappel said the games and clinics were a great opportunity to forge relationships and break barriers with local youngsters. “We want to start working on leaving a positive impression with these kids,” Sergeant Kappel said. “So often in life, people’s first interactions with police isn’t a positive one. “We wanted to show these kids we’re not

only out there to tell people off for doing the wrong thing.” Children from 20 local schools took part in the clinics at MacPherson Park in Toolern Vale. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Women in sport and breast cancer awareness will be the focus for Caroline Springs Football Club when it embarks on two days of footy and fundraising later this month. The club, which is fielding a senior women’s side for the first time this year, will incorporate a Pink Sports Day into its annual ladies day on Saturday, May 20, with all players wearing pink socks and pink trim on the V on their tops. Lakers president Dean Ellis said raising money for breast cancer awareness was an obvious idea for the club. “We try to raise money for a different charity each year, and we have a ladies day each year, so this year – with our first women’s side – it was the perfect chance to raise some money for Breast Care Network Australia,” Mr Ellis said. “With all the attention that women’s footy has

received in the past six months, it’s been great for the club to, first of all, get a senior women’s side to complement our junior girls’ sides, and then to join with BCNA to raise a bit of money.” The women’s side will play on the Friday night to allow the players to attend the ladies day festivities, while the men’s side, which features former AFL players Brian Lake and Adam Cooney, will play at home on the Saturday afternoon against Altona. “We have Brian and Adam’s wives both in our women’s side, so it’s a pretty star-studded line-up,” Ellis said. “It’s going to be a big weekend that’s for sure.” Details: tinyurl.com/n64g9gl Ewen McRae

Upgrades to Kenswick Drive Reserve, including new playgrounds, play areas and a soccer goalmouth, have started. The work is expected to be completed in late August. Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey said the upgrades would help transform the reserve “into a space that promotes activity and enhances the liveability of the area”.

Lions club appeal success

Bacchus Marsh Lions Club raised more than $30,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. The club’s area manager, David Atterbury, thanked the community for its generosity and the volunteers for rattling the tins. The Good Friday Appeal raised a record $17.6 million this year.

College for the future

Ballarat line hit by tardy trains

By Alexandra Laskie The new Taylors Hill West Secondary College’s curriculum will be geared around the “skills of the future” with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. At a parent information session held last Thursday, newly appointed principal John Goodman said the school’s strategic priorities would be the “STEM” disciplines, as well as art. A stand-alone science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics building is under construction and will be equipped with prototype labs, a robotics lab, dedicated areas for each of the sciences and space for technological automation. “It’s a fairly innovative model – it will have a very upfront STEM focus,” Mr Goodman said. “I think this is the first time it’s been an upfront brief for a new school in the western suburbs.” Mr Goodman said the school would foster a high-achieving culture and equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a 21st century economy. “We want to encourage kids to be aspirational all the time, whether that’s pursuing tertiary study or a technical vocation,” he said. “It’s not just about being successful at school, but about having the skills to keep learning after school. We know these students will have to retrain again and again throughout their careers.” Feedback from parents will help determine what language other than English will be taught. Mr Goodman said Indonesian was being considered based on success with it at neighbouring Springside College. The school’s planning committee is assessing whether VCE subjects will be offered to high-achieving students next year. A VCAL program will begin in 2019 once the first cohort of year 10 students move to year 11.

The school, provisionally called Taylors Hill West Secondary College until a name is announced, will begin accepting enrolments for years 7 and 10 in September from parents within the “designated neighbourhood area”.

The first cohort of about 300 students will start at the beginning of the 2018 school year. The Andrews state government allocated $12 million for the construction of the first stage of the school, in City Vista Court, Taylors Hill, in the 2016-17 budget.

Trespassers continue to delay services on the Ballarat railway line, with the train operator admitting to a fall in the number of services arriving on time in March. V/Line failed to meet its punctuality target of 92 per cent in March, with only 81.4 per cent of services arriving on time. Fourteen services were affected during the morning peak when a car pushed a boom gate into the path of a train at Melton, with the flow-on affecting other services throughout the day. Trespassers also caused significant delays to Ballarat railway line services during March. V/Line chief executive James Pinder said duplicating the Ballarat railway line between Deer Park and Melton, and new crossing loops at Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and Bungaree would help improve services. “Early works are already underway,” Mr Pinder said. “And on completion will allow V/Line to run more trains during peak times and better recover from unexpected delays.” Mr Pinder urged everyone to stay away from train tracks, saying “this type of reckless behaviour puts people’s lives in danger”. There were more than two million trips on the Ballarat railway line in March. Mr Pinder attributed this “record” rate to the increased number of train services and the new Caroline Springs station.

Road users urged to watch for animals With winter approaching, Melton and Moorabool drivers are being urged to be extra vigilant on the roads. According to AAMI, there were more than 70 accident insurance claims from drivers colliding with animals on Bacchus Marsh roads last year. This was a 55 per cent increase from the year before. The insurer says there’s typically a “surge” in collisions involving animals during this time. AAMI spokeswoman Ashleigh Paterson said one in five animal collisions recorded last year occurred during April and May. “As we enter the cooler months, driving conditions change due to the shorter days and poorer weather conditions,” Ms Paterson said. “This change also means motorists sharing the road more often with animals as their peak travel times are during dawn or dusk.” Wildlife Victoria recorded 10 animal collisions (involving the eastern grey kangaroo, swamp wallaby and bare-nosed wombat) on Melton and Moorabool roads last month. The not-for-profit organisation will be hosting a series of free educational events across the state to equip the community with the skills to help wildlife in their backyard.

Fast teen takes on world Williamstown North teenager Chandler Cooper is living the dream after being contracted for the 2017 Junior Moto3 GP in Europe. The 16-year-old, who started riding dirt bikes at age 10, aims to be Australia’s next champion by the time he’s an adult. He spends most of his time away from Australia but was back home this month. “I’ve only just come back for two weeks and then I’m back in Spain to do my first race and then I race at Le Mans [France],” Cooper said. “This year, I’m still learning and trying to make my way up to the top. More than likely, next year I might hop onto a bigger bike, we’re not sure yet.”

Cooper, who attended Williamstown High School, has since raced on well-known circuits including Jerez, Catalunya and Valencia and Albacete in Spain. He’s come a long way from being turned away from the track at Winton in country Victoria two years ago. Cooper said he hoped to win a championship next year. “For me, it’s always been a dream,” he said. Cooper has started a gofundme page to help raise money for his education and travel expenses for 2017. Visit: gofundme.com/cooper24 Goya Dmytryshchak

people who are humble and considerate, and just a generally good community, really taught me to be grateful and compassionate. Tell us about your studies and plans for the future.

Lakeview Secondary College’s 2016 dux, Anastasia Onofras, achieved an ATAR of 98.30. Her academic achievements landed her an elusive Women in Engineering scholarship at Monash University. She talks with Alexandra Laskie.

I’m currently studying a science/engineering double degree at Monash University, and really enjoying both sides of the degree as well as learning about how they interact. I’m still not 100 per cent sure about what I want to specialise in or what I want as a career, but I’m really into the chemical aspect of engineering and how that applies in creating new things. Who or what has been the biggest inspiration in your life? I think my parents have really contributed to my determination to do well, especially in school. They’re both really hard workers and always make sure we have everything we need, as well as supporting me and my decisions. It’s something that I’ve taken to uni because I feel if I do well it’d really show how much their support has meant to me.

(Shawn Smits)

What are you passionate about?

What do you like about living in Caroline Springs? I’ve lived around this area for a while now, moving from Deer Park to Caroline Springs when I was about 13 to get closer to school and such. The fact that this area is close to basically everything you need is a big advantage. I never needed to sit through traffic to get to school or

travel hours if I wanted to buy something. It’s something I’ve really come to appreciate with the travel that comes with going to uni. What could make it better? I think there really needs to be an improvement in safety and security in this area. Especially considering how this area is constantly

developing and new families are moving in, it’s important to make sure children feel safe, as well as giving parents and everyone else peace of mind. Has the area shaped who you are? I think less the area and more the people are what have shaped me. Growing up around

I really feel strongly and somewhat protective over the environment. I feel like these days we can’t afford not to be mindful over the environment. It’s not a coincidence that every year the record for the highest temperature is broken … I feel that we are all responsible for the preservation of our planet. What are your favourite local eateries? I love trying new foods so I’ve tried a lot of places. Some of my favourites are Caroline Thai in Caroline Springs as well as Chef Lagenda in Deer Park – they are both really nice and generous with their servings!

Preventing the violence While domestic violence has been in the headlines, its prevention should be, too. Sumeyya Ilanbey reports. Eight out of 10 Australian women aged 18 to 24 have been harassed on the street. One woman a week, on average, is killed by a current or former partner. And one in three women have been or will be victims of domestic violence. These heart-wrenching statistics are the brutal reality of domestic violence in Australia. There is a lot of excellent work being done across Melbourne’s west to provide support to women who have experienced domestic violence. Less often heard about is the work being done to prevent it. Women’s Health West is one of only a few organisations that aim to prevent violence against women before it occurs. WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory says there should be more focus on the prevention of domestic violence. She says that there is a range of research that shows violence is preventable. Changing the “unequal power relations” that cause men to perpetrate violence against women, and changing the social structures that excuse such behaviour, are essential, she says. “In countries that have higher gender equity, there are also lower rates of violence against women,” Dr Gregory says. “We know that gender inequity is the key driver of violence against women, so our programs and services aim to increase gender equity and justice for women in Melbourne’s western region.” The gender pay gap, the fact that women undertake more unpaid domestic labour and the lack of women in leadership positions

– addressing such issues, and therefore improving equity between men and women, can all contribute to preventing one of our time’s greatest scourges, Dr Gregory says. She says there are also “practical actions” everyone can undertake to play their part – such as paying attention to women’s voices, reflecting on the division of household labour, encouraging respectful, equal relationships among your children, friends and colleagues. “Small actions like these can make a big difference in preventing violence,” Dr Gregory says. “Preventing violence against women is everyone’s business … we should do everything in our power to end violence, and to change the circumstances under which violence against women occurs.” According to Dr Gregory, factors that consistently predict higher rates than usual of violence against women include condoning or excusing violence against women, limiting women’s independence and subscribing to rigid gender roles and stereotyped constructions of masculinity and femininity. What can be done to address these factors? World Health Organisation research has identified four “actions” that can help prevent violence against women, including: • Challenging the attitudes, norms and structures that justify, excuse or condone violence against women. • Creating “equal access” to power and resources between men and women is vital, especially through programs that support women’s economic and financial independence. • Challenging gender stereotypes and gender roles. Men who have “traditional, rigid and

NEWS

hierarchical” views about gender roles are more likely to perpetrate violence against women. Gender stereotypes must be challenged through initiatives such as introducing baby change tables in men’s public toilets. • Positive, equal and respectful relationships between women and men, boys and girls, must be promoted. WHW is one of 18 local organisations and councils that are part of the Preventing Violence

Together partnership. The partnership has developed a Western Region Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women, which recognises that “it’s not possible to end violence against women with disparate initiatives, short-term funding and one-off projects”. Dr Gregory, who says her staff witness the debilitating effects of domestic violence on a daily basis, maintains it’s imperative organisations and individuals work together.

“As the lead agency for the Preventing Violence Together partnership, WHW shares the vision of communities, cultures and organisations in Melbourne’s west that are non-violent, non-discriminatory and gender equitable, and that promote respectful relationships,” she says.

Auction: May 13 at 11am

This property was the last purchase on McKenzie Street, more than a decade ago. Now it’s the first back on the market, making this a genuinely rare opportunity. Located right in the heart of Melton, this huge block of about 1011 square metres is ripe for development, whether as a medical centre, pathology or a townhouse development (STCA). Although the property is zoned residential, it borders commercial zoning and applications for dual zoning may prove fruitful. The house currently on the block has five bedrooms, two living rooms, traditional enclosed kitchen with backyard views, two bathrooms and a laundry with rear access. There is a shed out the back and double carport. Opportunity beckons.

On a big block of about 586 square metres, this family property is in a great location, close to schools, shops, parks and the station. Rooms in the house are filled with natural light and the lounge room is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of cupboards and bench space, and a window looking out to the large backyard, which has plenty of potential and space for dreams to be realised. Next to the kitchen is a tiled family-meals area. The three bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. Also posed as a development site due to the block size and its location, there is the option to extend or re-build (STCA). Extras include air-conditioning and there is a shed and a pergola out the back.

It still has its new shine intact, making this modern residence and surrounding pristine gardens a treat for families who value putting their own stamp on a place. The colour palette of chocolate, sandstone and grey is an ever-popular combination, and windows are dressed in grey roller blinds for streamlined simplicity. Entry is to a hallway where wide-format floorboards start before flowing past an open, grey-carpeted lounge room then

through to the family-meals area. The kitchen has chocolate cabinetry, white benchtops, an island brekkie bar, white splashback tiles, underbench oven and gas cooktop. The main bedroom – off the lounge room – has a walk-in robe and gleaming en suite. Three more fitted (grey-carpeted) bedrooms are down a rear hallway, along which are a separate toilet, main bathroom and laundry. A glass slider opens from the family

area to a large, Laserlite-covered pergola that extends to the side fence. Laser-cut screens add beauty and shelter, while the fence line is partially screened with sandstone facers and bamboo. The backyard has a big expanse of verdant lawn rimmed with attractively planted garden beds. Grey-coloured concrete leads to the double garage with back roller door and also runs down the side from double gates

to form trailer, caravan or boat parking space. Security shutters are fitted to all windows as an extra bonus. The block of about 610 square metres is a five-minute drive from Maddingly Reserve and Bacchus Marsh College; Bacchus Marsh West Golf Club is a five-minute walk down the road.

Modern standards plug the gap on household energy losses If you have a dwelling built before 2005, it’s likely to have a measly 1.8-star energy rating, Sustainability Victoria research reveals. “Pre-2005 housing represents 78 per cent of Victoria’s stock,” says Stan Krpan, chief executive of Sustainability Victoria. “Those houses are bleeding energy compared to homes built today, which are required to have a six-star rating. “Many literally pump cooled or heated air outside, costing money and undermining comfort. If, however, a house is upgraded to a five-star rating, and lighting and appliances are efficient, we estimate the annual household energy bill can be cut by $990 a year. “And if all Victoria’s pre-2005 houses were upgraded, it would represent household savings of $1.5 billion and at least 5200 kilotonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year.” There are five fairly simple things to do to plug an energy-leaking house – and most can be done in a weekend after a quick trip to a local hardware store: 1. General caulking to seal gaps and cracks (26 per cent of total leaking reduction); 2. Seal exhaust fans and vents, including manhole covers (16 per cent improvement); 3. Seal external doors (12 per cent improvement); 4. Seal wall vents (seven per cent improvement), and, 5. Use winter covers to seal evaporative cooler outlets (20 per cent improvement). Some draught sealing measures are eligible for a discount under the Victorian government’s Energy Saver Incentive scheme. More information about improving household energy efficiency can be found at www.sustainability.vic.gov.au

Caulking window frames can save up to 26 per cent heating and cooling energy loss through leakages. (iStock)

SPORT Melton Centrals prepared for plenty of hard work Melton Centrals lost their second straight game, but the side isn’t hitting panic stations yet in the Riddell District Netball League. Centrals started the season with a win against Rockbank, in a game called off at half-time due to lightning, before facing tougher opposition in Romsey and Lancefield the past two weeks. Centrals coach Randy Pereira said both games were very similar in how they played out as his side was overrun late in the games. Against Romsey they lost 54-40, while on Saturday they gave up a half-time lead against the Tigers losing 58-48. “The Romsey game was a debacle. Bec [Morabito] and I arrived five minutes before

the game and Bec had to start the game off. “The second half of the third quarter and start of the fourth quarter they ran over us. “It was the same story against Lancefield. We made a lot of errors in the fourth term. “We let them back in the game and they kept the pressure on.” Pereira said with a new-look side it was always going to take time to gel. “The girls haven’t had a full training session together as some of the girls play netball on Thursday nights. “It’s hard to do drills. It’ll probably take a few more weeks for the team to click.” With both Romsey and Lancefield expected

to be in the mix come finals time, Pereira said it gave them an indication of where they need to be. “It’ll be a very interesting season,” he said. “We don’t have any Victorian Netball League players and most of the top sides to. I think the top four to five sides will be close. “I’m not disappointed at this stage. We still have to gel. “When we had the ball we were pretty good, but when we didn’t we didn’t do what we needed to. We also turned the ball over a lot. We had worked on going through the press, but threw five or six long balls which were picked off. “They are frustrating things.”

Cobras keen on winning

Centrals face Rockbank again this week. Pereira said he was hoping to see an improved performance. “If we struggle this week, I might need to re-evaluate how good I think we are. “Our aim is still to finish top three. We want to stamp our authority this week.” In other games, a slow starting Diggers Rest had a big win against Sunbury Kangaroos. Only three goals separated the two teams at quarter-time, before the Burras put the foot down winning 78-33. Rockbank lost to Lancefield 52-30. Tara Murray

Sports shorts

By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh has shown some positive signs in the first two rounds of the Ballarat Netball League season. The Cobras, who finished second bottom last year, started this season with a come-from-behind win against arch rival Darley. On Saturday, it was a tougher day for the Cobras against one of the early premiership favourites Sunbury Lions, but they kept up the fight. The Lions had the better of the Cobras all day, but the Cobras didn’t give up with the final score 53-25. Speaking before Saturday’s game against the Lions, new coach Michael Saker said getting an early season win would give the new-look team confidence. “It’s the first time they’ve won the Anzac Day shield [against Darley] in about 10 years,” he said. “Right now we’re trying to get to know each other. “In the practice matches we didn’t get any wins. It was about playing as a team. “We’re a very different looking side than last season.” He said they had a mixture of players from last season, players returning to the club and a few new players. He said they planned to bring young players through the grades. Among the new players are midcourter Megg Collins and shooter Madeline Hodgson who have both stepped into the A-grade starting line-up. Collins comes across from fellow BNL side Redan and was best for the Cobras against the Sunbury Lions. Hodgson, who has played for the Victorian indoor netball team with Saker, was awarded the best-on-court medal in round one against Darley. She’s spent the past two seasons with Geelong District Football League powerhouse Werribee Centrals. Saker said the key for the Cobras this season was to play consistent netball across whole games. The Cobras’ next match is on April 20, with a bye this weekend and then interleague. “I haven’t gone out and looked at other teams so I don’t know where we sit compared to them,” he said. “For me it’s just about growth and development. “It’s hard to predict we’ll play finals when we finished second bottom last year. “We’ve set small achievable goals. We need to be competitive for four quarters and stay with teams, then we are every chance to get more wins.” In other matches, Darley was too strong for Melton. After an even first quarter, the Devils kept the Bloods to just 11 goals

Women’s Football

Bacchus Marsh and Melton Centrals had mixed results in the first round of grading in the AFL Goldfields women’s competition. The Cobras faced new side Sunbury Kangaroos with the Kangaroos proving too strong late, winning 7.6 (48)-4.3 (27). Melton Centrals also faced a new side in Gisborne. The Bulldogs did well early on in a low scoring first half, before Centrals kicked late goals in the final quarter. Centrals’ experience proved too much for the Bulldogs, winning 6.9 (45)-0.2 (2). The fixture for the second round of grading is still to be released.

It was a tough day for Caroline Springs in Western Region Football League division 1 against Hoppers Crossing. Last year’s runners-up dominated the game, defeating the Lakers, 25.12 (162)-2.6 (18). For a full report on the game, go to starweekly.com.au/sports

EDFL

Hillside remains the only undefeated side in Essendon District Football League division 1, with a 14.11 (95)-12.14 (86) win against Oak Park. Brandon Coletta was best on ground. In premier division, Keilor celebrated Kane Barbuto’s 250th game with a big win against West Coburg. Burnside Heights and Keilor Park both suffered losses in division 2.

TAC Cup

Western Jets suffered a big loss against Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup on Saturday. After an even first half, the Bushrangers kicked away in the second half, winning 20.9 (129)-10.7 (67). Stefan Radovanovic was best for the Jets in the loss. The Jets sit ninth on the ladder with two wins after five rounds. Megg Collins has come across from Redan in the offseason. (Shawn Smits)

for the rest of the game on the way to a 43-20 win. The Bloods struggled in the shooting circle, with the three shooters shooting at 50 per cent or less accuracy.

In comparison Devils’ playing coach Renee Hulls shot 25 goals from 28 attempts. Devils defender Amanda Wilson was best on court. Melton South had the bye.

Improving Diggers Rest retains unbeaten record Diggers Rest maintained its unbeaten start to the Riddell District Football League season largely thanks to a strong first half against Sunbury Kangaroos. In muddy conditions at Bloomdale Oval, the Burras’ class and skill level shone as they out-scored the Kangaroos 5.7 to 2.4 in the first half. The Kangaroos got back into the game in the third quarter, before holding the ball in their forward 50 for much of the last quarter. The Burras’ defence, though, held strong – and when they went forward, they made the Kangaroos pay, eventually winning 9.10 (64)-7.8 (50).

Burras coach Shaun Sims said the first half was the type of football the Burras wanted to play. “We moved the ball and we pressured the ball pretty good in trying conditions,” he said. “We had a couple of guys who were struggling but put their hands up to play, which was great – and they all got through. “We just needed to win the game. I was very pleased with the first half; the second half was a bit of a fight.” He said the players over-used the football in the second half, especially in a “wasted” third quarter, instead of taking the longer options. Sims was full of praise for the back line,

which shut down all but one of the Kangaroos’ forward options – Ryan Pretty, who kicked six goals. “Our thing was to stop inside-50 marks, which we did for the first half,” he said. “After first half pressure around the ball and the ground dropped off and they got more entries and took a couple of marks.” Josh Wallace was named best on ground. The Burras are one of two undefeated sides after three rounds. Macedon is the other. Sims said the Burras had a lot of improvement to come. He said Brandon Kilty and Patrick Jackson, who both played in the reserves on Saturday,

Cobras welcome break By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh wasn’t happy about having two weekends off after just two rounds when the 2017 fixture came out. Now the Ballarat Football League reigning premiers consider a bye and then interleague weekend as a blessing in disguise. After two tough matches against Darley and Sunbury Lions the Cobras have some sore players. Cobras’ coach Travis Hodgson said the two weeks has come at a pretty good time and would give the injured players more time to recover. Daniel Burton hurt his knee in round one, and while he played in round two was heavily restricted. Jarrah Maksymow hurt his ankle against the Sunbury Lions. Both will be right for the Cobras next match. But the extra break will also benefit Scott Sherlock and Ryley Stuhldreier. Sherlock returned to the field in the second half, despite the leg injury, while Stuhldreier did his hammy early in the second half. Despite the injuries the Cobras managed to record their first win of the season on Saturday against the Lions. Hodgson said for all bar 15 minutes they had control of the game. After keeping the Lions goal-less in the first half, the Cobras won 16.12 (108)-10.10 (70). “It was a really good win,” he said. “Going back to the grand final we managed to keep them goal-less for four quarters in a row. “We had a poor 15 minutes in the third quarter when Sunbury kicked five goals in a row. “We regained control of the game for a good win.” Hodgson said the score could have been a lot bigger in the first half had they made the most of their opportunities. “We had 19 to eight inside 50s in the first quarter. Sunbury were really prepared for Maksymow. “We had to find other avenues to goal and once we started to share it around we had 10 different goal scorers. “Our ability to have our second tier forwards hit the scoreboard … will determine how we go this season.” Despite the close attention and ankle injury, Maksymow kicked five goals. Sherlock was best on ground, while Matt Denham and Alec Del Papa were also dangerous for the Cobras. It was a special day for the Cobras as they unveiled their first ever BFL premiership flag. Hodgson said it was nice to have a few minutes to reflect on what they had done. In other matches, Darley made it two from two with a solid win against Melton. The Devils set up the win in the first quarter outscoring the Bloods 41-9. The Bloods reduced the margin, but the damage was done with the Devils winning 13.11 (89)-8.11 (59). Abraham Cameron was best on ground. Melton South had a bye. 52 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 2, 2017

were available for senior selection against Romsey. “We lost five or six out of the grand final team and really only brought in two,” he said. “In the overall scheme of things, it’s a positive outlook. “We’ve still got those five or six 19-year-olds who are playing, which is fantastic for the club, “We’re starting to get a bit healthier and to have three wins is really good.” Melton Centrals had a strong win against Lancefield, while Rockbank went down in a big loss to Rupertswood. Tara Murray

McIntyre Cup expands to 10 teams The Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup competition will grow from eight teams to 10 next season despite several clubs being against the move. The association’s board last week decided most grades would have an extra two teams next season. GDCA president Rob McIntyre said the move would see a bigger focus on two-day cricket and give the association more flexibility as it expands. “We’re always looking at ways to improve the competition and the standard of cricket,” he said. “The board felt it was time to introduce more two-day cricket and less one-dayers, to the top grades particularly. “It’s felt that the move to nine two-day matches and three one-day matches … will provide more opportunity for younger players to increase their involvement in the game. Quite often, clubs will drop younger players to the lower grades when playing one-day matches.” Several clubs were against the move, saying the fixture would no longer present an even playing field. Under the format that had been in place, all teams played each other once at home and once away, in a one-dayer and a two-dayer. McIntyre said the board felt that the best teams would still find their way to the top no matter what format was in place and that most of the top cricket association’s in the state had 10 teams per grade. He said that with the possibility of three new clubs joining the competition from next season, having bigger grades instead of more grades would allow greater flexibility. Eynesbury and Melton Centrals have put in applications to join the association, while Trentham has also met with the board and will hold a vote of its members to decide if it will seek to join. Current clubs will vote on these applications at the annual meeting in July. The format change means Rupertswood will remain in the McIntyre Cup instead of being relegated. B-grade premier Lancefield will come up. Wallan, which finished runner-up to the Tigers, will be given the option to return to the top grade. If it chooses to stay in B grade, the option is there for another B-grade club to nominate to join the top grade. Meanwhile, the association has changed the format of grand finals. They will now be played across two days instead of three days. Tara Murray

nce exclusive to Mini’s SUV range, all-wheel-drive is now expanding across the Mini lineup with the rorty John Cooper Works Clubman. Like a Mini for grown ups, the Clubman sits on a larger footprint than the regular hatch, freeing up more interior space. But the playful Mini uniqueness remains, including rear barn doors and one of the best-known interiors in the industry. As the flagship of the second-generation Clubman range, the John Cooper Works brings more power and torque than the already impressive Cooper S. An extra 29kW and 70Nm, in fact, which combined with the added all-wheel-drive grip results in a 0-100km/h sprint of just 6.3 seconds – an impressive 1.2 seconds quicker than the Cooper S auto. Priced from $53,900 (plus on-roads), the JCW is at the high end of the hot hatch market, but it’s stuffed full of premium equipment such as Harman Kardon hi-fi, adaptive cruise control, and leather trim. Hop in and the low-set seats put you into a sporty driving position just like every other Mini variant, but look back and there’s a family-friendly rear seat and big boot. The design is Mini through and through, with a huge central display dominating the dash, although the speedo and tacho have been relocated in front of the driver. A chubby steering wheel and alloy pedals turn up the sporty appeal and are matched with JCW-specific side sills, exhaust tips, 19-inch wheels, and grille blades on the outside. A quick blast around the block reveals a very different character to the JCW hatch. The Clubman is no less playful, but it fires from standstill like a rocket, and bolts out of corners with none of the grip-searching

habits of the front-wheel-drive hatch. The engine note hints at the JCW’s intent, and the suspension, resolutely firm across choppy surfaces, reinforces the JCW Clubman’s hot hatch positioning. Although an eight-speed automatic will be

the default choice for Australian-delivered Clubmans, an optional six-speed manual (as fitted to the car driven here) is also available. Mini has certainly enhanced the JCW formula with the addition of all-wheel-drive. This isn’t just a boring, safe and stable hatch,

it packs in emotional appeal with finely honed dynamics and a twist of fun retro kitsch. Unmistakably unique and dripping with hallmark JCW styling touches, this is a premium hot hatch that’s as individual as you’ll find.
