Libs give Sunbury promise ‘‘

They voted for it … we don’t need another vote - Matthew Guy

’’

At a public meeting in July, the auditors acknowledged the limitations of previous studies. Mr Vincent also noted a “very significant” percentage of residents took part in the non-compulsory 2013 poll that paved the way for Sunbury’s separation. ‘‘The question becomes: What was it that they voted upon?,’’ he said, reflecting on a perceived vagueness in the original question. The auditors said the former Liberal government’s notices had been “silent” on rates and service levels. Visiting Sunbury last month, Mr Andrews rejected Liberal claims the audit process was a sham. He said the government was serious about the review and had not gone in with a predetermined view. Last week, Mr Guy also promised Sunbury Train Association members, fighting to retain access to V/Line trains, that he would reinstate any lost services. He said commuters weren’t asking for special favours. The government recently added extra Metro services, with a promise of more to come.

The saga of Sunbury’s planned split from Hume may drag on for years yet, with Opposition Leader Matthew Guy promising the town will get its own council under a Liberal government, regardless of the outcome of a current review. Visiting the town with Western Metropolitan MP Bernie Finn, Mr Guy told Star Weekly Sunbury would be granted its independence ‘‘just like the people voted for’’. ‘‘The work has been done,’’ Mr Guy said. ‘‘The previous government did all the financial modelling. We held the plebiscite; it just needs the bill to go through the Parliament.’’ The promise comes as patience about the state government’s transition audit wears thin. Auditors John Watson and Frank Vincent presented their report and recommendations to Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins by the August 31 deadline. The pair were appointed by the Labor government in March with a brief to review the separation processes, after the former Liberal government gazetted formal notices that a new Sunbury council would start on July 1 this year. The split was put on hold after Ms Hutchins said too many questions remained unanswered. A compulsory and final vote on the matter is among options the auditors could recommend. A government spokeswoman said the report would be made public ‘‘later this year’’. The government had previously promised it would act quickly on the auditors’ recommendations. Mr Guy, who met with members of the pro-split Sunbury Residents Association on Tuesday, said it was time

for the uncertainty to end. ‘‘If Daniel Andrews won’t do it, I will, because it’s the right thing for the people of Sunbury, and they voted for it. We don’t need another vote.’’ A petition with 7000 signatures calling for a new vote was presented to Parliament earlier this month.

Welcome mat’s out for refugees By Matt Crossman Refugee advocates are asking Macedon Ranges residents to open their hearts and even their homes to help people affected by the conflict in Syria. With the federal government confirming a special intake of 12,000 Syrian refugees, members of Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR) also urged authorities to consider using the former Australian Emergency Management Institute at Mount Macedon as a transitional resettlement centre.

As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the government wants to sell the site where public servants and members of the CFA and SES trained before changing to an online training model in July. Macedon Ranges RAR members said the great advantage of the institute site was that it was ‘‘ready to go’’ and could easily accommodate upwards of 30 people. Group spokeswoman Jenny Zimmerman said most locals were extremely supportive of refugees, making the area an ideal location to support the intake. ‘‘The population around here is probably

more open to it than some other areas,’’ she said. ‘‘Even conservative people are often asking us what they can do to help.’’ Ms Zimmerman said she had put several people wanting to offer space in their own homes in touch with the Australian Homestay Network. ‘‘Since the photo of that little boy on the beach was published, they’ve been getting close to one inquiry every minute Australia-wide,’’ she said. Federal Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters praised the RAR group’s efforts to welcome refugees.

She said there was a lot of support in central Victoria, as evidenced by a candlelight vigil in Kyneton last week. Many RAR members also regularly invite refugees who are living in Melbourne to their homes for meals. ‘‘There’s a lot of heart and action in the Macedon Ranges,’’ Ms Chesters said. State Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said there were many great examples of refugees successfully settling in regional Victoria. Details: www.homestaynetwork.org

Rock spruced up for visitors There are now 10 free barbecues at Hanging Rock as part of ongoing upgrades at the famous tourist venue. The reserve’s main toilet block has been improved ahead of what’s shaping up as a busy spring and summer. Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson said the works would make the Rock even more attractive to tourists. ‘‘The new barbecues and improved toilet facilities, coupled with plans to upgrade visitor shelters, car parking and a range of other improvements, will create more opportunities for visitors to enjoy time sightseeing, picnicking and bushwalking,’’ she said. Cr Anderson said visitor numbers were on the rise, with about 20,000 more tourists than three years ago. ‘‘With school holidays and summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy the many experiences on offer so close to home.’’ The barbecues, installed at a cost of $80,000, replaced coin-operated units and can be reserved for groups. Hanging Rock is set to host several major events, including a November 21 concert headlined by rock legends Cold Chisel.

Council cans rooming rumours By Matt Crossman Claims that a Kyneton residential property is being used as an unregistered rooming house for migrant workers have been rejected by Macedon Ranges council. Kyneton resident Dean Trickey said up to eight people had been living in the Castles Crescent house since it was bought by a new owner about 14 months ago. He said the house’s lounge had been converted into a bedroom with neighbours left to deal with problems caused by a large amount

of household rubbish and cars being parked on the street and lawns. ‘‘There’s been numerous times when bins have been overflowing and there’s often about five cars there,’’ he said. ‘‘I’ve got no axe to grind with the people. But at the same time, we shouldn’t have to put up with it.’’ Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) defines a rooming house as a building where one or more rooms are available to rent and four or more people occupy those rooms. Council planning and environment director Sophie Segafredo said staff had inspected the

‘‘

It is a rental property … with the residents knowing - Sophie Segafredo each other

’’

property and were satisifed it was not being used as a rooming house. ‘‘It is a rental property, under one lease, with the occupants knowing each other,’’ Ms Segafredo said. She said building approval was not needed for the construction of an internal wall in

the house’s lounge area because it was not a load-bearing wall. Ms Segafredo said there were no registered rooming houses in the Macedon Ranges and no regular or recurring complaints about possible unregistered operations. According to CAV, evidence of rooming house activity can include a large number of residents, interior changes indicating multiple occupation, and many cars being parked on or off the street. Residents who are concerned about potential rooming house activity should contact the council on 5422 0333.

Wall honour’s fallen plaques,’’ he said. ‘‘We managed to find about 70 of them, but the remainder … about 110 or something … have probably been stolen or mulched up by the mower over the years. ‘‘Until now, people often haven’t been able to tell which names are on the trees.’’ A large number of descendents of the town’s original service men and women were present for Sunday’s ceremony.

A wall of remembrance listing the men and women recognised on Woodend’s Avenue of Honour was officially unveiled by former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer on Sunday. Developed by Peter Whitelaw on behalf of Woodend RSL, the project originated from a proposal by the late Muirean Currie in 2003. Made possible with the help of federal, state and Macedon Ranges council funding for projects marking the centenary of World War I, the 2.5-metre-high wall also lists the 180-plus English and Algerian oaks planted in 1918 to honour Woodend and Newham residents who enlisted in the Great War. Mr Whitelaw said the polished black granite wall, created by local artists Ashika and Padma Ostapkowicz, had rejuvenated the memorial precinct. ‘‘Originally, all the trees had copper

Bulla ‘stifled’ by gas shortages By Matt Crossman

Relay tracks a cure for cancer

(Shawn Smits)

Bulla residents fed up with being ‘‘at the mercy’’ of bottled gas suppliers are again urging the state government to commit to a natural gas pipeline. Western Metropolitan MP and longtime resident Bernie Finn said that for many years Bulla had watched as towns across the state were connected to the more efficient, and less expensive, energy source. ‘‘Poor old Bulla doesn’t get a thing,” Mr Finn told State Parliament. “It’s still served by individual gas canisters on each property and is at the mercy of gas companies.’’ Urging Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio to act, Mr Finn said a recent gas truck shortage meant some residents had to go without gas. ‘‘You can imagine what that does to a family in the middle of winter,’’ he said. Bulla’s Bob Laidler said that in addition to the high cost faced by those forced to find other ways to heat and cook, the lack of natural gas was holding the village of 651 people back. ‘‘The main hamlet is being stifled,’’ he said. ‘‘People certainly want natural gas as an option because the other options are so expensive.’’ Mr Finn said it was baffling to think that residents of a place that was two minutes from Melbourne Airport, eight minutes from Sunbury and 25 minutes from the city were still in such a position. ‘‘It is ludicrous that a town so close to the city of Melbourne, and to gas pipelines, has no gas itself,’’ he said.

Everyone has a reason to relay, Sunbury Relay for Life chairwoman Shara Turner firmly believes. Ms Turner, whose father John died of esophageal cancer last year, says it’s rare to meet a person who hasn’t loved someone affected by the disease. Her mother, Tamara, who will relay with her again this year, survived bowel cancer more than 20 years ago. ‘‘Unfortunately, it’s one of those diseases you can’t get away from,’’ Ms Turner says. ‘‘Everyone knows someone.’’ Ms Turner is urging Sunbury residents to support November’s fifth annual Relay for Life event. ‘‘Money raised helps Cancer Council Victoria fund research, implement prevention programs and provide support services for those affected by cancer in Sunbury,’’ she said. More than 300 people took to the town’s Little Athletics track last year, raising $52,000 for Cancer Council Victoria. This year’s event will include live music, a jumping castle, face-painting and a candlelight ceremony paying tribute to loved ones lost. Sunbury Relay for Life is at Boardman Reserve on November 21 and 22. For more details, phone 1300 656 585 or visit www.relayforlife.org.au SHARA TURNER WITH MUM TAMARA

Walking the walk Lace up your sneakers, grab your friends and get out there – that’s the message to Sunbury and Macedon Ranges children ahead of Walk to School month. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca – pictured with Sunbury Heights Primary School physical education teacher Leanne Ratkowski and pupils Isabelle and Will – is encouraging youngsters to use the October event to start healthy habits. ‘‘Walking is a great way to improve your fitness, and it gives you a sense of achievement at the start of the day,’’ he says. ‘‘Children can also cultivate wonderful friendships when they stroll to school with their classmates.’’ Kids can keep track of their walks via classroom calendars or the Walk to School website or app. Macedon Ranges council is offering $300 to schools wanting to host healthy breakfasts, and there are prizes for the school with the most walkers.

Account Manager

A former Lancefield man, 23, has been jailed for seven years after pleading guilty to a series of sex attacks. Russell James Reid’s offences on November 4 and 5 last year included an attack on a woman in front of her two young daughters in a shopping centre toilet. The County Court heard that after that incident, Reid entered a South Yarra home and exposed himself to a girl, 6, and soon after digitally raped a woman nearby.

Ice users’ families to gain relief By Matt Crossman A pilot program designed to empower Sunbury residents worried about a loved one’s drug or alcohol use will start later this month. Sunbury Community Health (SCH) drug and alcohol team leader Jim Carlton said the free six-week program, launched in response to a large number of people crying out for help, would give families the knowledge and skills to better understand addiction and help break the cycle. ‘‘Families often don’t know what to do when their loved one is suffering from addiction,’’ Mr Carlton said.

‘‘This is a widespread issue; often families are yelling out for help but their needs are not prioritised within treatment services.’’ More than 70 people, including affected family members, attended a recent community forum focused on problems caused by the rising use of crystal methamphetamine [ice]. Mr Carlton said that with families at the risk of becoming isolated, Action for Recovery offered a ‘‘sense of relief that they are not alone’’. ‘‘Often during crisis periods families feel they have to go into ‘rescue’ mode as they’re unsure what else they can do,’’ he said. ‘‘Families often feel powerless to change the

‘‘

Parents … will do anything to make sure the - Jim Carlton user is safe

’’

situation. The impacts can be devastating.’’ The program, run in partnership with Family Drug Help, will explore ways to improve relationships and cope with anxiety and stress. ‘‘Family members can feel the impact of the addiction even more than the user,’’ Mr Carlton said. ‘‘Often they have parental feelings, underlying grief and guilt, which

in turn leads to families going outside their normal boundaries and rules, and this in turn can contribute to the addiction. ‘‘Parents and other family members will do anything to make sure the user is safe. This course will support them to think through the best course of action.’’ Up to 15 people will be part of the pilot course to be held from 6-8pm each Monday from September 28 at 12-28 Macedon Street. Bookings: 1300 660 068 or email arc@sharc. org.au Substance users or family members needing immediate help can contact SCH to see a drug and alcohol counsellor. Phone 9744 4455.

Service to sizzle on A Sunbury group that has supported dozens of charities and community projects has no plans of easing up on its efforts after donating more than $20,000 in just eight years. Almost all the money raised by the National Servicemen’s Association of Sunbury came from sausage sizzles held outside local hardware stores. Secretary Ken Old said money had gone to such organisations as the Salvation Army, Legacy, CFA, SES and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Local groups and initiatives, including CareWorks SunRanges, Sunbury Community Health, St Mary’s church emergency fund and the Rotary club’s community kitchen, have also benefited. Mr Old said the local servicemen’s association branch, which organised

Sunbury’s first Anzac Day dawn service earlier this year, was grateful for the community’s support. ‘‘We find this is a positive way to give back and help those in need,’’ he said. The group, which meets once or twice a month to socialise, is open to all men who have completed national service. Details: 9744 2125 Matt Crossman

Labours of love revisited A husband and wife team who have painstakingly restored some of the area’s most historic properties, including Rupertswood, and Mount Macedon’s Karori, are offering a taste of what it takes to live and breathe major renovations. Marie and Dominic Romeo’s first coffee table book, The Constant Renovators, was released last Thursday. Ms Romeo says the full-colour book is a study of the ups and downs of fixing and preserving historic mansions. But she admits she took some convincing before putting the couple’s experiences into words. ‘‘I thought, who wants to read about renovations … all the things that go wrong and all the things that go right.’’ Interviews and a transcript prepared by a property journalist inspired Ms Romeo to take the next step. ‘‘I read that and I had to admit it did sound interesting.’’ Writing ‘‘like I was talking to a friend’’, Ms Romeo weaves an interesting story about six of the 12 or so properties they’ve saved from decay. The book includes background on each of the houses and a wealth of photos from the present and distant past. ‘‘The story’s as much about how we came to be constant renovators,’’ she says. ‘‘We didn’t really plan to do all these houses. Some of them we stumbled upon and then it became kind of addictive, I guess.’’ Ms Romeo, a designer who runs Gisborne’s Bellholme, and Mr Romeo, a real estate agent specialising in heritage properties, have found renovating a great creative outlet.

Briefs Get a move on, MP urges

The state government has again been urged to ‘‘get on with the job’’ of improving a dangerous Sunbury intersection. In Parliament, Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn urged Roads Minister Luke Donnellan to direct VicRoads to conclude its investigation into the roundabout at Gap Road and Horne Street. Traffic lights are among options being considered.

Tree plans take root

More than 600 trees will be planted in towns throughout the Macedon Ranges before the end of the year as part of the council’s annual planting program. Assets and operations director Dale Thornton said trees improved the appearance of neighbourhoods, provided natural shade, improved biodiversity and cleaned the air. Sports grounds at Riddells Creek, Woodend, Kyneton, Gisborne, Macedon and Romsey will also be worked on over coming weeks.

Tapping into water MARIE ROMEO

‘‘It’s also great working with each other,’’ Ms Romeo says. ‘‘I’ve always been a design and history buff, and Dominic has that interest in the architecture. ‘‘It allows all that to come together.’’ With so much involved in each project, she admits that moving on is never easy. ‘‘We always leave a bit of ourselves in each property,’’ she says. ‘‘They’re all different and charming in their own way.’’

The couple recently sold Karori and are already looking for their next project. ‘‘It was meant to be our ‘forever house’,” she muses. “But we get to the point where things are looking perfect and pretty, and we get itchy feet. The thought of never doing one again … we’re not at that stage just yet.’’ The Constant Renovators is available at Mount Macedon Trading Post, Bellholme and through Miegunyah Press for $45.

Western Water will hand out free bottles at this Sunday’s Riddell football and netball league grand final as part of a campaign encouraging people to choose tap water over commercial bottled water. Champion Australian netballer Eloise Southby will present the A-grade netball trophy on behalf of the water authority.

Council hoses down land fears By Matt Crossman Marketing for the sale of more than 2000 hectares of land near Darraweit Guim has sparked fears about inappropriate development. Macedon Ranges Residents Association secretary Christine Pruneau said two large properties were being advertised internationally, with advertisements incorrectly linking them with Melbourne’s nearby urban growth boundary (UGB). One ad boasts of ‘‘substantial land bank appeal’’.

Ms Pruneau said the group was worried the sales campaign sent a bad message about future development, and she feared the council and developers were eyeing off land close to the UGB. She said planning scheme amendments last year included a redesignation of Darraweit Guim from village (500 people) to small town (up to 2000). The council denied it had any plans for residential development in the area. ‘‘We think there’s a motive for growth,’’ Ms Pruneau said. ‘‘One of the ads talks about

‘‘

You’ve got council saying this is a town that’s going to - Christine Pruneau grow

’’

land being ‘earmarked’. Then you’ve got council saying this is a town that’s going to grow. It sends a bad message.’’ She said it needed to be made clear that developers would not be allowed to ‘‘leapfrog’’ the UGB. Council planning and environment director

Sophie Segafredo said the land had not been identified for future residential development in the short or long term. ‘‘We have been in contact with the real estate agent to ensure that prospective buyers are advised of the current planning policies that apply to the land for sale,’’ she said. ‘‘As with any property purchase, we would encourage anyone considering purchasing a property anywhere in the shire to contact our planning department so we can ensure they are informed about the property before entering into a contract.’’

A network designed to give Sunbury businesswomen opportunities to meet and talk about how they juggle career, family and life will be launched at a fundraising dinner next month. The first Sunbury Business Women’s Network event will include performances by contortionists and jugglers and a talk by comedian and media identity Libbi Gorr. Sunbury Square shopping centre manager Marnie Harding says the network will be open to women from different backgrounds. ‘‘We will offer support, guidance and inspiration,’’ she says. The dinner will be at Estelle’s Restaurant, Vineyard Road, Sunbury, from 6.30pm on October 1. Tickets: $80 (includes two-course dinner and drinks). Money raised will support breast cancer research.

Innate elegance of the contemporary kind is the hallmark of this chic abode, which sits on about 4000 square metres of beautiful formal and cottage-style plantings. There are lovely views over the town, and a stroll to all town services. Travertine tiles anchor the entry hall, which is flanked by fantastic inset display shelves. Living zones include a lounge-dining room with vaulted ceiling, separate carpeted dining room and a wonderful family-meals space which links with an elevated, tiled deck under sails. The stylish kitchen has abundant cupboards, dishwasher, underbench oven and electric cooktop. The laundry/ hobby room provides access to the triple garage. Three bathrooms (one with a spa) are shared by three large bedrooms, the main particularly graceful. And there’s a great study with storage and desk. Ducted heating, split-system, alarm and shed are other features.

On a quiet road, opposite a footy oval and with mountain views, this rendered house has its own charm and character and, with its block of about 836 square metres, has loads of potential to extend or add to the existing gardens. Hardwood floorboards in living areas and the two bedrooms are practical and appealing, while the kitchen-meals zone is tiled in white. Timber-look cabinetry topped with charcoal laminate, an island bench and electric cooktop equip the cooks’ domain, which is the perfect size for a downsizer or smaller households. Investors will also find it tempting. A covered deck takes in the back garden, and there’s a second gazebo in which to enjoy a morning cuppa. A split-system takes care of climate control and town gas is connected. A garage and extra-big shed are other features at a place that’s within a walk of train station, shops and schools.

This standalone villa offers great privacy, tucked among well-planned and established landscaping. This is a great property for downsizers or young couples alike, because it has all the ingredients for a simple, relaxed lifestyle and enough space to feel like a house. The living zone extends from front to back. It is carpeted for comfort in the sitting zone, tiled around the kitchen for easy upkeep. The kitchen has ample storage and a dishwasher, linking well with a great elevated deck under a gabled pergola out back. Bedrooms are a good size and each has a wardrobe and share a bright bathroom and separate toilet. The laundry is also separate. In a court and on about 383 square metres, the residence has ducted heating, evaporative cooling, water tanks and a remote-controlled garage with internal access … and no body corporate fees to worry about.

With beautiful gardens and set on some 2453 square metres, this fastidiously maintained residence of about 40 squares is in one of Woodend’s boutique housing developments, and is all sparkly modern with an appealing point of difference – a library/retreat (accessed through multi-paned double doors) with bespoke cabinetry. A lounge room and main bedroom with en suite are either side of the entry, and a spacious family-meals zone with a screened alfresco area is right at the heart of the house. The kitchen is bang on trend, with mocha-toned cabinetry, window splashbacks, a walk-in pantry, waterfall-edged stone bench and European appliances. Three more bedrooms and a study, plus a bathroom, extend from here. There are dry stone walls, sandstone paths, a vegie garden and espaliered fruit trees outside, plus a 50,000-litre water tank. Natural gas hydronic floor heating, ducted vacuum and integrated double garage are finishers.

NEWHAM 28 Fincher Lane, 3442 Joan Gladman: 5427 4307

Price: $635,000

There’s a more direct route to this place, but on the day of this review, it was past food lovers’ Newham General Store, down leafy country roads, around bends fringed with natural bushland and the splash of the first golden wattles, then into the destination lane which is a bit of a bush bash – easily handled, however, by a small, ancient car. It’s this enforced slower pace into town (Woodend’s about a 12-minute drive away), the smells and sounds of the bush en route, that makes this 8.09-hectare property a true sanctuary away from life’s general busyness.

Private sale

The brick-veneer homestead-style house is all about the practicality needed for rural living and an ambience of well-lived family life. Entry is into a hallway laid with dark wood-grained vinyl, a floor covering that continues into the large hub where there’s a wood heater set against slate – and the heat’s conserved courtesy of double-glazed windows. The kitchen in here has an island wall with a stack of storage topped with decorative leadlight panels; timber-trimmed cabinetry; breakfast bench; and dishwasher, electric cooktop and wall oven. Behind the kitchen, the laundry has abundant storage

and, nearby, the main bathroom has a timber vanity unit and heat lamp. Three of the four bedrooms have mirror-front built-in wardrobes and, beyond a leadlight door, the main has panoramic views, a walk-in wardrobe and an open en suite with huge shower, bathtub, modern vanity unit and enclosed toilet. A third toilet and next-door storage room (with plumbing) is along the entry hall. Tacked onto the front of the house, a glass-enclosed outdoor room is great for year-round entertainment and views are unimpeded. Across the garden from here, there’s a long chicken run containing fruit

trees – natural pest control and fertilisation without effort or cost. Undulating land has an extensive cleared area for paddocks and grazing and there’s a good assortment of sheds: large hay/ machinery shed, a smaller hay shed and a Colorbond shed with concrete floor, power connection and roller doors. Water tanks, two springs and two dams, a carport and a second car shelter under a sail are other ingredients at this place where space abounds, mountain views are uplifting and schools and Calder Freeway are close by.

Y u can choose to have floral displays and the like to make the place more Yo attractive, but be careful not to overdo things that would distract the attention of viewers away from the property itself. hile you would like to be there to assist, it s not a good idea. nstead, leave things to your agent. They are e perienced and know the best way to field questions. Also, people feel freer to discuss their real feelings to a third party. etting good numbers of lookers also helps matters. ven the oyriders will have friends who may be interested in having a real look.

SUCCESSFUL SELLING STRATEGIES: • Selling Property Requires More Than Erecting A “For Sale” Sign. • Choose the best agent for you – an agent is more than their commission rate. • Decide which method – Private Sale, Auction, Expressions of Interest. • Have a marketing plan – essential – discuss this with your agent. • Remember agent paid marketing= more pressure to recoup their investment. • How are you going to reach the greatest numbers of buyers? • Professional photos positively affe af cts buyers response. • Is the internet alone sufficient to promote your property? • Make the Most of Your Marketing Budget – Cover All Your Bases. • Newspapers are still an important Part of the Mix. 82 Main Street, Romsey Julie Ellis 0409 433 699 Property Manager

• Where are your buyers coming from? Families, Retirees, First Home Buyers? • Prepare your property – make it squeaky clean. • Presentation can make or break a sale and affe af ct the bottom line. • Connect with your solicitor/conveyancer and order your vendor statement. • Review and refresh the marketing impact along the way.

Buying “off-the-plan” can offer much potential but buyers need to be cautious before signing on the dotted line, according to the Victorian state manager of Archicentre, David Hallett. Mr Hallett said a big issue for buyers was interpreting the plan and understanding what they were agreeing to buy without seeing it in the flesh. “Even more important is which way will the living areas face? Will they attract sunlight? Will the view be across a park or the bay as featured in the brochure, or will you be looking straight at the wall a few metres away of the high rise building next door?” Mr Hallett said. Buying an apartment will differ to buying a suburban house. It is important to ensure every detail about the dimensions of the property, window placement and fixtures are clearly understood. “These inspections assist the apartment buyer to establish many basics, such as whether the display unit they are being shown is the standard unit or a premium unit with upgraded kitchen and bathroom appliances and fittings,” Mr Hallett said. “Even the standard of tiling and the number of coats of paint need to be determined.” Mr Hallett said off-the-plan buyers should also look into communal facilities within the apartment building and determine exact body corporate costs. “The heights of ceilings in off-the-plan buying is a key issue, especially as the floor space is usually comparatively small when compared to a house,” he said. “It is important to have the same measurements which are in the display unit written into the contract of sale for the apartment being purchased.” Buyers should also have a solid

understanding of construction standards, as they will accept responsibility for legal issues and repairs once they assume ownership of the property.

“The major issue for anyone buying an apartment off-the-plan is to seek independent professional advice to ensure they are well-informed because, once they

sign on the dotted line, it is extremely difficult to reverse the decision when their apartment is built and the final payment made,” Mr Hallett said.

TALKING APPS Ever wanted to learn another language? Blake James discovers the best language apps to assist…

Babbel

busuu

Duolingo – Learn Languages for Free

SpeakEasy

Babbel aims to be the leading languagelearning app, offering the choice of German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian or English. Babbel has created an outstanding design and the app is incredibly ‘juicy’, a games development term for the overall feel of touching buttons and the animation throughout. Babbel successfully eases users slowly into learning a new language. The early stages aim to give the user a taste for what’s to come, before prompting them to sign up. It’s primarily course-based, starting with basic vocabulary. Once signed on, new content will be made available in parts unless users subscribe; then they gain access to all sections. Options go onwards from one month for $12.99 and prices decrease depending on the number of months chosen. Overall, I rate this app highly. If you are keen on learning languages, it’s money well spent.

Busuu, much like Babbel, is a well-made language training platform designed to engage users. Unlike Babbel, it has more free content. The registration for Busuu is quick and simple. But in comparison to Babbel, the app lacks user engagement – most of the content can be guessed instead of learnt. What works well in Busuu is the help section, which allows signed-up users to ask questions in the various languages to help correct or assist you as you learn. Busuu isn’t completely free. To access most of the content, premium membership is needed. Buying this grants access to many advantages, such as unlocking all languages (previously could only choose one), quizzes at the end of units, reviews, other writing exercises, and more content per unit. Overall, the quality of the app is terrific, however, the amount of locked content and lack of user engagement put this app a mark lower than Babbel.

Duolingo has produced an amazing language learning app that is entirely free. Learning Languages for Free is a must-have if you want to learn a new language from scratch. The app opens and immediately prompts the user to “push notifications”. This is highly recommended because the app asks the user how often they would like to practice. This could be as little as five minutes per day or as much as 20 minutes a day. The app starts with basic vocabulary and sentence formation before becoming increasingly more fluent. It forces the user to learn and not simply guess answers, such as the Busuu language app, for example. Duolingo’s app doesn’t have everything going for it, however. A slight drawback is the audio quality. Some voices sound robotic and don’t quite match the quality of Babbel or Busuu. Overall, I rate this app the highest because it’s free, forces you to learn to progress and unlock more stages and, overall, has many, if not all, features of its premium competitors.

SpeakEasy is a great tool to use when you’re travelling to a foreign country and don’t want to go through the hassle of completely learning a new language from scratch. There’s an entire library of words and phrases of various languages, including French, Spanish, German and Japanese. More are available as separate downloads. The audio is good quality and voices are real. What works well with SpeakEasy is the ability to slow down the speed at which the interpreter says a word by simply holding down the chosen word or phrase. This makes repeating the word very easy. Initially, it is a free download that allows you to try the various languages with a small sample of useful words and phrases. Each language can be bought as a separate app of the SpeakEasy Collection. Each paid app sets you back $4.99 and includes all the words and phrases for the chosen language. Overall, Pocketglow has delivered a simple and effective app which helps people with a short-term learning solution.

35 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 15, 2015

SPORT Coach rewarded for trusting his instincts Making a grand final requires taking risks, and Sunbury Lions were rewarded for their risks in the Ballarat Netball League preliminary final on Saturday. Trailing Lake Wendouree by three goals at quarter-time, Lions coach Adam Boldiston decided he needed to make changes. So he made several. The changes saw a major turnaround of fortunes and Lions went on win 50-37. Boldiston said he knew he was taking a big risk making so many changes early in the game. Ruth Smith came on in goal attack to replace Abby Healy, Katelyn Begley moved from wing attack to centre, Kate Fletcher came on at wing attack, Prue Stanley went to the bench and he switched his defenders around. “I’ve never made that many changes in one go before,” Boldiston said. “It’s the risk you face and you wonder if you’re making the right decisions. “I needed to back my instincts.”

Those instincts worked and the Lions led by three goals at half-time and extended that in the second half. Boldiston was pleased some of the younger players stepped up. “I could have left Prue on but I didn’t think it was the right match-up,” he said. “It was a risk taking off one of the senior players, but the younger ones stepped up in the midcourt with the extra height.” Injuries and player absences during the year meant Boldiston knew he could trust every player once on the court. “We haven’t had a full quota of players to pick from most of the year,” he said. “I now have the luxury of having nine players I know can handle it.” He said the return of Fletcher was important to the side. “Her feeding and vision into the circle was brilliant. They had to double-team her,” he said. Boldiston was relieved to have made the

grand final in his first season as coach after the Lions had played in the previous two grand finals under Kim Bailey. “I felt a lot of pressure and I put a lot of pressure on myself,” Boldiston said. “It’s a new team and there was that feeling when we had losses early in the season that maybe it wasn’t going to work. We have done the right things to get the rewards.” The Lions will play North Ballarat City in the grand final at Ballarat’s Eastern Oval on Saturday. City won 63-61 in the only match-up between the two sides this season. “Last time we played them it was a shoot-out,” Boldiston said. “We took a lot out of that game and were disappointed we lost. We got nervy at the end. “All the pressure is on North Ballarat who is undefeated. We have nothing to lose.” Tara Murray

Gisborne Secondary College has the second-best junior girls football team. (Supplied)

Gisborne in boots ‘n’ all By Tara Murray Gisborne Secondary College is home to one of Victoria’s best junior girls school football teams, second only to a sports academy school. The college fielded one of the more than 400 teams to enter School Sports Victoria junior female football competition for years 7-9 students. After winning the Western Metropolitan region section, the girls qualified for the state finals on August 18 and 26. They easily accounted for Horsham and Wonthaggi secondary colleges in the first two finals, setting up a clash with Rowville Secondary College in the grand final. One of the coaches, Trent Kennedy, said Gisborne was in the game for the first half before a better Rowville side kicked on, winning 19.6 (120) - 6.3 (39).

In their nine games, the Gisborne girls scored 400 points and only conceded 143, 114 of these in the grand final. “Gisborne Secondary College could not be more proud of their achievements as it is the furthest an AFL team [boys or girls] has reached from the college,” Kennedy said. “The team of girls included about six girls who play AFL outside of school. “The girls trained at school during lunch times, as they each wanted to improve their skills and knowledge of the game. By the end of the tournament, the girls were playing to game plans and structures that helped make their journey so successful.” He said several girls were now looking to take up the sport outside of school next year, including Molly Warburton. “Molly was one student who showed

36 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 15, 2015

exceptional improvement, as she had never played AFL outside of school and, positioned in the ruck during the finals series, Molly excelled. To play in such a key position with no experience, against experienced opposition, was an outstanding individual effort.” Helping Kennedy with the side were two of the school’s most talented footballers. “Eshe Lane plays for Gisborne Youth Girls and received runner-up in the league best and fairest, and she helped me coach. Eshe is an outstanding leader and her coaching skills and maturity are exceptional for a person her age. “The team was captained by Madison Presparkis who, at just 15, is in both the under-16 and under-18 all Australian Girls team and a member of the Vic Metro and under-18s Calder Cannons girls squad. Her leadership, both on and off the field, is outstanding.”

Bulldogs through in a nailbiter Gisborne left it until the last 10 seconds of the game to seal its victory over Sandhurst in the Bendigo Netball League semi final. Having trailed all day, the Bulldogs hit the front for the first time with just 10 seconds remaining, sealing the 36-35 victory, and a spot in the preliminary finals. Bulldogs’ coach Simone Trevillian couldn’t believe her eyes, watching from the sidelines. “The last 10 seconds, we hit the lead,” she said. “We managed to get a turnover and get two goals in a row. “They missed a shot, and we were able to get the rebound and convert it down the other end. “I’m not sure which is worse, sitting and watching on the bench or being the one who had to shoot the goals.” After a poor first quarter the Bulldogs found themselves behind by eight goals at quarter-time. “I tried to keep the girls positive,” Trevillian said. “The focus was to stick to our game plan, and remind them they are still in the game. “We knew we had the fitness to run all day; we had to keep up the pressure.” Her quarter-time speech worked, with the Bulldogs only trailing by three goals at half-time. Unable to make inroads in the third quarter, they trailed by four goals at the final break. “I told them just to keep trying and staying positive, and keep focussed on the game plan. “I knew they could do it. It was pretty nerve-wracking watching. “The message was to keep fighting.” Trevillian said it was amazing for the girls to stand up under that pressure. “Polly Salter and Mel Harris played really well in defence. Polly played a blinder. “Maddy Stewart and Rylee Connell were brilliant under the ring, holding their nerve and shooting those shots.” Trevillian said the move to bring on Ellie Newman and Sammi Cooke in the second half also played a big part in the win. “They had fresh legs and provided drive through the mid court, and that played a part in being able to run over the game.” It’s the second one-goal win for the Bulldogs in the finals series, after their defeat of Kangaroo Flat, 38-37, in the elimination final. That win wasn’t without controversy. The Kangaroos protested the score, claiming the tally sheet was wrong. But the protest was thrown out. “I said to the girls ‘stick with what the score sheet says’, which says we won,” Trevillian said. “We didn’t let it affect us, and we stayed out of it.” The Bulldogs now play Strathfieldsaye on Saturday for a spot in the grand final. “Anything can happen in finals,” Trevillian said. “Hopefully, we play with the same intensity and game plan as our first two finals. “I feel if we play the way we have in the last month, we are a chance.” Tara Murray

Burras forget past pain in bid for grand final glory Two nailbiting grand final losses in succession would be enough to knock most football club down for the count. But Diggers Rest is no ordinary club. The Burras dropped the Riddell District Football League decider to Riddell by just seven points in 2013. A year later, they came up short again, this time to Romsey by 18. But as they prepare for their third successive grand final this weekend, Burras’ president Chris Payne believes it’s the attitude the club takes to the disappointment that allows it to bounce back. “We don’t really look at it or draw any sort of inspiration from it,” he said. “We’re just about looking forward and looking to the challenge

ahead. We certainly don’t look back. We just focus on the next time and on winning.” The Burras appear to have timed their run to September perfectly, getting through the first two thirds of the season unscathed before hitting their straps. Diggers Rest won the last five home-and-away matches before knocking off fellow top-three sides Riddell and Romsey in the first two weeks of finals. After the weekend’s preliminary final, another meeting with Romsey is all that stands between the club and that elusive premiership. Payne put the sustained success down to the players’ enjoyment at running out together each week. “They’re a very resilient group,” he said.

“The hunger is still there. The boys made a commitment to each other a couple of years ago that the job wouldn’t go undone. “Hopefully, this is the year we can really reward the football club and the boys themselves for the hard work they’ve done since last year.” Saturday is looming as a huge day for the Burras, with the club hoping to make it a double premiership celebration. Diggers Rest has also qualified for the reserves grand final, taking on Sunbury Kangaroos. The Burras also qualified for the finals in the under-18 division. Payne said a huge focus for his committee had been ensuring every aspect of the club was

strong, not just the senior side. “Our main job when we took over was just the culture of the football club,” Payne said. “Having people wanting to be around the club who were happy to help out and who wanted to bring their families along was a big focus. “That just drove onto our successful results on the field in both football and netball. “We have players in that reserves side who could probably walk into 80 per cent of the senior sides in our competition. “The fact they still want to play football for Diggers Rest is a testament to our club.” Liam Twomey

Headhunters on prowl for new coaches

Redbacks on the charge By Tara Murray Romsey’s quest for back-to-back premierships has reached the grand final stage in the Riddell District Football League. The Redbacks set up a decider rematch with Diggers Rest after knocking off Broadford in Saturday’s preliminary final at Lancefield. After beating Rupertswood and Riddell in the first two weeks of the finals, the Kangaroos were confident of a third upset win. Instead, they were no match for the reigning premier, which won 16.19 (115) - 7.14 (56). Redbacks coach Dean Helmers said halfway through the season his players could make another grand final if they wanted it badly enough. “We seem to have found our way into it,” Helmers told Star Weekly Weekly. “Everything is coming together off field. I always believed we had the list, but there were warning signs early on that we weren’t working hard enough.

“The boys have turned the corner; mid-season, too few were even turning up to training.” On Saturday, the Redbacks looked in cruise control midway through the game, leading by 34 points at half-time. “I felt we were in control for most of the day,” Helmers said. “Broadford got cracking in the third quarter. I think we had changed the side too much. We quickly changed things back and the game returned to being on our terms. “We were confident and wanted to try a few different things ahead of the grand final.” Walid Saad kicked three goals for the Redbacks, while Ben Way and Zak Saad managed two each. Helmers said the side was coming together at the right time. “It was a good performance against Broadford … it was more of a team effort,” he said. “The bigger grounds suit our fast guys who like to run. We’ve worked on a few things at training and improved [with] every game in the finals.”

Team selection for the Redbacks’ grand final side will be interesting, with several key players having missed the win over the Kangaroos. “Ben Sullivan didn’t come up and Cam Wight was ruled out during the week,” Helmers said. “Steve Burlak didn’t pass a fitness test, so there’s still three to four players who could come into the side.” Diggers Rest awaits them in a rematch of last year’s grand final, won by the Redbacks by 18 points. This year the two sides have split their matches, with the Burras winning the semi-final match two weeks ago. “Diggers are a good side and have done a great job,” Helmers said. “Shaun Sims is a good coach and they have a real even spread across the ground. We’ll try and get the game on our terms.” Diggers Rest and the Sunbury Kangaroos will play off in the reserves, while Rupertswood and Woodend-Hesket match up in the under-18.5 grand final. All games will be at Romsey Park.

Riddell and Rupertswood are on the hunt for new coaches for next year’s Riddell District Football League season. Bombers coach Troy Scoble and Sharks’ Ben Jordan have decided not to seek contract extensions. Scoble told the Bombers’ playing group on Thursday night that, after five years with the club, three at the helm, he wouldn’t be continuing. “It was very emotional as we’ve been through a lot,” Scoble said. “I’m pretty confident with my decision, but it was hard to pull the trigger. “I haven’t lost the passion and I love the playing group, but this allows me to spend more time with my family. I’ve been involved in country football for the past 13 straight seasons.” Scoble said the 2013 premiership was the highlight of his time as coach. “It was similar to this year when not a lot was expected in terms of the performance of the group. “It was a very tight group, with a lot of youngsters and some experienced players.” He said the relationships he built at the club were the important things he would take away from his time as coach. Scoble’s decision comes just days after it was announced that Jordan would be standing down as Sharks’ coach. Jordan, who has steered the side for the past two years, has decided to take a rest from coaching and also spend more time with his family. Sharks’ president Paul Ross had nothing but praise for Jordan, who took the senior side to finals in both years as coach. “Ben has two young daughters and a wife and wants to spend time with them,” Ross said. “One of his daughters plays basketball and he said he hadn’t seen her play for two years as she plays on Saturdays. “He brought professionalism to this club with his experience and the fitness side of things.” Ross said the club didn’t have a set idea of what it wanted in a new coach. “We are very open to who we hire; it could be a playing coach, a mature-age coach or a young coach. “But they need to have had some experience. “Ben has done two years and half the work in getting some of the young guys into the team. “The coach who takes over can take advantage of the work Ben has done already.” Tara Murray

Bombers aim to make amends By Tara Murray The hurt of last year’s grand final loss will help spur on Riddell in Sunday’s Riddell District Netball League grand final. After being hot favourites last year, the Bombers were no match for Melton Centrals and went down by 16 goals. Riddell’s opponents on Sunday will be Macedon, and the Bombers will again be favourites despite losing to the same opponent in the semi-final just weeks ago. The Bombers reached the grand final with a 55-49 win over Rupertswood on Saturday. The Bombers, back with their full line-up, led at every quarter, forcing the Sharks to chase all game. Bombers playing coach Lauren Close was relieved to have made it to a second straight grand final. “It’s nice waking up a winner after last week,” Close said on Sunday. “We went back to how we played against Rupertswood in the first final and stuck to those structures.” A major key to the Bombers’ win was being able to maintain a lead. “Every time we would push the score out, Rupertswood would fight back,” she said. “They were always fighting to stay with us. “They’re a young side and it’s something our experience helped us with.” Madison Caulfield and Mikaela Vaughan, who both missed the loss to Macedon, were named the best in Saturday’s match. Vaughan, playing in goal attack, shot 35 goals. “It was a completely different vibe with them back in the side,” Close said. Alex Maher and Amy Starzer were best for the Sharks, who were missing league team of the year centre Maddi Gay.

Often bridesmaid, Ryan medallist’s finally the bride Riddell District Netball League’s oldest A-grade player is also its best player this season. Melton Centrals’ veteran Tran Truong was named the league’s Ryan medallist for 2015 last Wednesday night. For the 41-year-old, the award comes after several top-10 finishes in recent seasons. Truong finished on 20 votes, two votes clear of Wallan’s Kate Bishop and Romsey’s Soli Ropati. Ropati won the netball rising star award. Truong, who originally wasn’t going to attend the awards’ night, was surprised to be recognised. “The league has great players and I think it’s great each year that the league is going from

strength to strength,” she said. “With so many up-and-coming players, to be acknowledged for this, I think it’s a great achievement. “They [the club] have done a great job supporting the players throughout the season. I couldn’t have done it without them.” Truong said the biggest thing was ensuring she maintained a game style that was still relevant in today’s competition. Having started at the club in 2009 as a fill-in player, Truong has now been part of two premiership sides, most recently last year. “With all of this young talent, you have to keep on working on your game to make sure you’re also competitive. You have to look back and think, what else can I do to be competitive

with them? You always have to challenge yourself. “I’ve had a certain game style throughout the years … I had to adapt it this year and challenge myself with my game style, speed and agility.” One challenge she faced this year was finding herself at times moved from the midcourt, where she has made her name. With the loss of Rebecca Morabito before the season and Renee Hulls during the year, Truong was tried in a new position in the goal circle. Both Hulls and Morabito have previously won the Ryan Medal. “I think Randy, you should retire from coaching,” Truong joked after being told she would be playing in goals by coach Randy

Pereira. “I trust his judgement … after that I had to go and practise my goals.” While the two-time premiership player is still at the top of her game, she’s unsure whether she’ll continue on next season. Truong was also named in the team of the year, along with Ropati, Macedon’s Kate McLeod and Bec Colwell, Rupertswood’s Tess Abbott and Maddison Gay, Riddell’s Mikayla Vaughan, Christine Harris and Danni Davidson, Romsey’s Hope Evans and Toni Lind, and Diggers Rest’s Amy Carroll. Evans was Western Water player of the year, as voted by the players. Tara Murray

Bomber scoops the medals pool By Tara Murray It was a good thing Paul Sahlberg’s brother, Daniel, joined him at the Riddell District Football League awards on Wednesday night. The Riddell midfielder needed an extra hand to take home all the awards he won after scooping the pool: the Bowen Medal, Melton Toyota Football player of the year, Buffalo Sports award … and membership of the league’s team of the year. Sahlberg was the runaway winner, by 10 points, of the night’s main award, the Bowen Medal. He finished on 26 votes, ahead of Macedon’s Shaun Harrison and Broadford’s Adrian Romanyk, each on 16. The win comes just 12 months after Sahlberg finished fourth in the medal behind good friend Dylan Murphy. “Honestly, I thought I had a good season, but you never walk into these things confidently,” Sahlberg said after being proclaimed the Bowen medallist. “I thought I would be thereabouts and I definitely had a lot better year than last year. “I missed four games [last year], and this year I felt more consistent. I was putting up with a tag each week and I had to push. I got there in the end.” The personal trainer said he didn’t do much different leading up to the past two seasons. “I always believe with my football in putting in the hard yards outside of the games. I’ve always focused on that with my fitness as I need to be able to run away from the blokes on me.” As well as helping take home the trophies, it was brother Daniel who got Paul to the club three years ago. “I played with the Calder Cannons as an under-18 and spent the whole time there,” Paul said. “I went to Coburg [VFL] and got injured and then ended up here with my brother. Winning the premiership [in 2013] was the best feeling ever, and the main photo in the paper was me

with my brother, crying. There’s still a younger brother Michael to come through, which is exciting.” Sahlberg paid tribute to his father and his coach, Troy Scoble, as the two major influences in his career. “My dad has been there right from the start and he has taught me how to play football and put in the hard work.

“Scobes, he is massive. I used to get texts before the game saying, ‘This is your game’. His belief in me is amazing and all I can do is repay him on the field.” Having tasted football at a higher level, Sahlberg is happy with where he is, for now. “As a personal trainer, I work ridiculous hours and, at this stage, I’m happy with where I’m going. I would love to give it another go as

it’s always been a dream to make the top ranks, but I’m not sure,” Sahlberg said. He was one of five Bombers named in the team of the year, while coach Scoble was named coach of the year. Five Romsey players, three each from Broadford and Macedon, two each from Diggers Rest and Rupertswood, and one from Lancefield and Sunbury Kangaroos were also in the team of the year.

MOTOR Big features in a small package When you’re lucky enough to test-drive cars for a job you don’t usually have designs on something like a Toyota Yaris, But there’s something about this little car that I liked. The “sporty” (in looks if not performance) ZR model I tested went along well. The 1.5-litre engine did the job ably and frugally with an automatic transmission and shifted gears when needed, unless you really had to put the foot down. Driving to Geelong on the freeway it felt like a bigger car, in terms of cruise performance and handling, while in the city it’s nimble and pretty economical. Toyota claims the ZR has a combined fuel economy rate of 6.3 litres/100km, which was probably a little less than my experience, although you’ll drive this car a long way without troubling a petrol pump. The interior styling was fun and I like the striped seat upholstery, even if it did look a little like garden furniture. The neat, modular dashboard and door trim looked good, too, There’s a lot of plastic but it doesn’t feel cheap and brittle. The faux carbon fibre is a nice touch, as is the silver trim on the arm rests, although the latter looks pretty susceptible to scratches. Like many small cars, the front seat felt more like a chair, with not much upper leg support, despite the brochure calling them sports seats. I like to feel like I’m sitting in a car seat than on it and I couldn’t quite adjust it to my liking. The Yaris is pretty roomy inside and

with a small hatch, which is aided by a reverse camera displayed on a standard Toyota touch screen displaying audio and phone settings (with Bluetooth) and satellite navigation. There are plenty of features for a small car, but they do come at cost, with the ZR’s drive-away price tag of $24,940 significantly higher than the base model Ascent which starts at $15,990. Exterior looks … well, it’s not as sleek as say, the Mazda 2 and Kia Rio, perhaps because

considerably bigger than previous models, with an extra 30cm in width. It’s hard to tell it apart from a Corolla Ascent when sitting side by side. The cargo area, also bigger than previous models, is a decent 286 litres, which is bigger than most of its competitors. The forward vision is excellent, with a nice wide and deep van-like windscreen serviced by a single windscreen wiper, which I liked. All-round vision is as good as you’d expect

of Toyota’s desire for it to have a family resemblance to the Corolla. But it’s a nice looking car from the front with its wide and low front grille. I particularly like it in red. All in all this is a sturdy little ride with Toyota quality and reliability and a lot more presence and space than previous models, which were too small to the point of being uncomfortable. It should be on the list for anyone shopping around for a new, features-packed small car.
