Legal bid to halt roo cull

‘‘

[It’s] an archaic and lazy form of control

’’

- Fiona Corke

‘‘Unfortunately, those measures have not been effective in limiting the growth of the kangaroo population within the securely fenced area,” he said. “Therefore, the risk to the critically endangered eastern barred bandicoot population has increased.’’ Mr Hardman said the decision to postpone the shoot was made because of concerns about public safety and the bandicoot population. ‘‘The kangaroo population competes with the bandicoots for vegetation and, as the population grows, bandicoots can be left without food or shelter,’’ he said. ‘‘This animal has undergone a widespread and catastrophic decline in Victoria and is now considered extinct in the wild. Preventing further loss . . . at Woodlands is crucial for their survival.’’

Flame lit in junior fireys Children at a New Gisborne preschool learnt how to phone triple-0 and heard flood safety tips when SES crew members including Rob Lewis (pictured with Cara and Henry) visited as part of last week’s Wear Orange Wednesday. Kids at Goodstart Early Learning dressed in their brightest orange clothes for the annual event, which provides opportunities for communities to show their support for the volunteer service. Goodstart director Jodie Radas said the visit was a big hit. ‘‘The kids just loved it,’’ she said. ‘‘It helped put it in perspective for the children. To see the truck here and be able to have a chat to the volunteers about the kinds of things they do, it was just brilliant.’’ Gisborne SES deputy controller Di Dale said the visit was a great opportunity to talk about the service.

Wildlife campaigners may seek an injunction to stop plans to cull about 150 kangaroos at Woodlands Historic Park, near Melbourne Airport. Protests at the site have continued day and night amid claims that neither Parks Victoria nor the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) notified air traffic authorities about their plans to have shooters target kangaroos in an enclosure protecting an endangered bandicoot. As reported by Star Weekly online, shooting at the Oaklands Junction reserve was scheduled to begin last Wednesday but was called off by Parks Victoria in the wake of a social media campaign urging activists to make their presence felt. The park, between Greenvale and Sunbury, is one of just three sites across Victoria where authorities are trying to maintain a breeding population of the otherwise extinct eastern barred bandicoot. Australian Society for Kangaroos vice-president Fiona Corke said the group was continuing to explore legal options as it did not believe authorities had explored all other options before deciding to launch a cull. ‘‘There’s a win-win option here,’’ she said. ‘‘[Tranquilliser] darting and relocating the kangaroos over the fence with a mixture of fertility control would totally meet their objectives. ‘‘Why are they not going for that? Why are they resorting to an archaic, unnecessary and lazy form of control?’’ Ms Corke said claims that air traffic authorities had not been notified about the planned presence of shooters close

to busy flight paths was further proof of ‘‘departmental arrogance’’. ‘‘Ricochets can occur even with professional marksmen,’’ she said. ‘‘Why put planes and public safety at risk?’’ A Parks Victoria spokesman said it worked with airport authorities regularly and notified them ‘‘as required; we have been doing so for some time now’’. Parks Victoria executive director Chris Hardman also defended the decision to conduct a cull. He said that since 1998, Parks Victoria and DELWP had explored other options, including contraceptive implants, herding and relocation, without success.

Record-low rates fuel home-buying rush Record-low interest rates are expected to further add to the appetite for property in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges. L J Whorlow First National Sunbury manager Patrick Franklin said the Reserve Bank’s latest rate cut would benefit people buying and selling across the market. But he said demand continued to outstrip supply, especially in central Sunbury. ‘‘Stock remains low,’’ he said. ‘‘When we do get listings, there’s certainly good competition and if the price is right they sell very quickly.’’ Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) data

shows the median house price in Sunbury rose 0.30 per cent in the March quarter to $370,000. But in Kyneton, prices fell two per cent to $475,000. Median prices in Gisborne are nudging the $600,000 mark, climbing 1.40 per cent to $588,000. Gisborne Real Estate director Janis Paul said

rate cuts were always a good thing, especially for those buying their first home. But she said sales had levelled out in recent months, with some people expressing concern about the July 2 federal election and negative gearing policies. ‘‘The first things to go are holiday homes and investment properties, so in an area like ours that can have quite an effect,’’ Ms Paul said. ‘‘But people have to live somewhere. If they’ve sold in another market they have to buy.’’ Brad Teal Real Estate’s John Dunlop said

there continued to be huge demand for land in and around Gisborne. ‘‘A few new estates are coming on board and prices in some went up by close to 20 per cent last year, so demand is generally high,’’ he said. REIV president Geoff White said the latest rate cuts would further boost confidence. “Buyers currently have access to the lowest interest rates in the nation’s history, providing much-needed assistance to first-home buyers.” Matt Crossman

Combine footy club’s aglow Good fortune continues to shine on Woodend-Hesket Football Club, with the announcement of a state government grant to ensure new lights for Gilbert Gordon Reserve. Sports Minister John Eren and Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas visited the Forest Street ground on Wednesday to reveal $100,000 will go to a major upgrade, including AFL-standard lights for football and new floodlights for netball. Confirmation of the project, partially funded by the club ($70,000) and Macedon Ranges council ($205,000), comes just weeks after the Hawks played their first RDFL game on a resurfaced oval, having played all their home games in Romsey last year. The council’s draft budget includes another $900,000 for changeroom upgrades. President Stuart Braddy said it was an exciting time for the club, which has three senior football and four netball teams. The ground is also home to the recently formed Woodend masters football team and junior programs. ‘‘We’re just cockahoop, to be honest,’’ Braddy said. ‘‘Everyone’s got a real spring in their step now. To have this right after our first game back at home . . . it’s far more enjoyable and a lot easier on the volunteers.’’ Mr Eren said better lighting would help the club stage more training sessions and attract new members. ‘‘The best facilities inspire more players to turn to grassroots sport, which means healthier communities,’’ he said. Work is expected to begin within 12 months.

Fix plea on airport road By Matt Crossman A potentially catastrophic incident has prompted Hume council to again urge VicRoads to speed up plans to duplicate Sunbury Road. The roads authority has confirmed safety barriers will be installed along the centre median between Tullamarine Freeway and Oaklands Road. But councillors last week decided to express their concern about the lack of safety on the busy road past Melbourne Airport after receiving reports that two cars completed U-turns, over double lines and in the face of oncoming traffic, at the same time on May 7. The incident took place directly in front of a memorial cross where two men were killed by a car that crossed onto the wrong side of the road.

Cr Jack Medcraft said he was appalled. ‘‘How there wasn’t a triple head-on there, I don’t know,’’ he said. ‘‘We keep coming back asking for something to be done. Does it take a death for them to do anything about it?’’ There were 47 crashes on Sunbury Road between the Tullamarine Freeway and Wildwood Road, Bulla, in the 10 years to last December 31, resulting in two fatalities and 18 serious injuries. Cr Medcraft said that while last year’s speed limit reduction and works around the edges were welcome, motorists continued to put the lives of others at risk. ‘‘Anyone who’s driven down that road sees traffic trying to turn around to wait for someone getting off a plane or to go see Skippy,’’ he said.

‘‘It’s frightening.’’ Cr Medcraft’s calls for wire or concrete barriers were swiftly answered, with VicRoads immediately confirming plans to seek funding for the work to be carried out. VicRoads regional director Vince Punaro said detailed planning was under way for a link between Melbourne Airport and the future Outer Metropolitan Ring Road, including a bypass of Bulla. ‘‘The planning has identified suitable routes for these links to support future traffic volumes in the region, including Sunbury Road traffic,’’ Mr Punaro said. ‘‘The Melbourne Airport Link and Bulla bypass is considered to be a long-term project and will ultimately consist of six traffic lanes and include off-road shared bicycle and pedestrian paths.’’

Sports unite for courts By Matt Crossman Substandard indoor sports facilities in the Macedon Ranges will soon be a thing of the past if a new coalition of clubs, schools, associations and state bodies gets its way. Residents are being urged to get behind the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Hub group’s campaign for a six-court stadium in a central location. Basketball Victoria and Netball Victoria support the push for the centre, which would include administration space, storage, catering and bar facilities.

Spokeswoman Megan Condron said the group met council representatives last week to present its proposal. Among the sports which would use the new centre are basketball, netball and futsal (indoor soccer), which are all among the top 10 participation sports in Australia. The Macedon Ranges has only 12 indoor sports courts. With the area’s cold climate also a factor, Ms Condron said having just 12 courts spread over six towns was no longer acceptable. ‘‘More than 3000 people play basketball, futsal, netball and volleyball in the Macedon Ranges every week,’’ she said. ‘‘Local indoor courts are bursting at the seams and clubs are turning players away.’’ Ms Condron said that with the municipality’s population expected to increase almost 40 per cent by 2036, now was the time to act.

Carpark woes: ‘please explain’ By Matt Crossman

Veg harvest put to bed

Five wicking garden beds will bring a splash of color and, eventually, a harvest of healthy vegetables to O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury. Residents are being invited to help plant seeds and seedlings in the beds, which are about to be installed by Hume council. A planting session will be held from 11.15am-1pm on May 28. Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and kale will be grown in the plots, which will be looked after by people through the council’s Adopt a Veg Bed program. Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou expects the beds will be a talking point while teaching children about how food is grown. “The plots will be an attraction bringing the community together,” she says. The beds are designed so that water is stored at their base for vegetable roots to absorb as required. Visit: www.hume.vic.gov.au

Hume council has been asked to explain why plans for a multi-level carpark in Evans Street, Sunbury, were scrapped as the town’s parking crisis worsens. And with spaces increasingly difficult to find, Cr Jack Medcraft has also asked the council to prepare a report detailing how much a nearby grassland reserve, purchased by the former Shire of Bulla, was worth and how it came to be granted environmental protection. ‘‘I’d like to know why we have 10 acres of prime real estate in the city that can’t be used for anything,’’ he told last week’s council meeting. ‘‘We’re screaming out for parking, screaming out for amenities . . . there are so many things that could be used on that block to alleviate the problems we’re experiencing now.’’ Plans for a private multi-level carpark at Harris Scarfe were abandoned in 2011, despite extensive talks between the private owner, council and Public Transport Victoria. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the town’s parking woes have increased since a crackdown at short-term bays at Sunbury Central shopping centre began late last month, with many train passengers resorting to leaving their cars in nearby side streets. Cr Medcraft said data showed almost 40 per cent of cars parked at Sunbury train station came from the Macedon Ranges. Sunbury Business Association president Michael Osborne said parking and traffic congestion were posing huge problems for shoppers and businesses. ‘‘We continue to hear people saying that if it’s going to take 20 minutes to drive down Vineyard Road and get a park at the shops, they’ll just keep going to Watergardens,’’ he said.

Hume praised for debt wiping By Matt Crossman Hume council’s efforts to wipe out almost $30 million in debt should be held up as an example to other levels of government, a Sunbury-based councillor believes. But the town’s longest-running residents association has expressed disappointment that little has been done to alleviate carparking and traffic congestion problems plaguing central Sunbury. Endorsing the council’s draft 2016-17 budget, which was released to the public during a meeting at Sunbury Civic Centre last Monday night, Cr Jack Medcraft said Hume should be the benchmark for other councils. ‘‘There’s been a lot of hard work to get there,’’ he said. ‘‘I reckon we should send our manifesto to the state and federal governments to show them proper financial management.’’ As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the council’s $218.88 million draft budget proposes an average rates increase of 2.5 per cent, which is in line with the state government’s new cap. The council’s decision to pay back $25.95 million of debt early will save $5.5 million in net interest across 10 years. Sunbury’s councillors welcomed money allocations for long-awaited projects such as a $4 million heated rehabilitation pool at the aquatic centre, $2 million for planning for a global learning centre in Macedon Street, and $800,000 for new clubrooms at the lawn tennis club. A total of $74.10 million has been slated for new infrastructure across the municipality,

- Y D E ONL D EN TH T X E MON ONE

including more carparking at Boardman Reserve and additional improvements to Sunbury’s town centre. Money to widen sections of Wildwood Road in Wildwood and upgrade Bourke Street, Bulla, is part of a $10.24 million allocation for roads projects. But Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell feared the town had again been treated like a ‘‘poor cousin’’. ‘‘There’s nothing to improve carparking in the CBD and nothing regarding a third railway crossing, which would go a long way to easing the congestion that’s choking the town,’’ he said. Cr Jack Ogilvie said there were signs that long years of advocacy by the three Jacksons Creek ward councillors were paying off. ‘‘We haven’t had a lot of development [over the years],’’ he said. ‘‘But the global learning centre, that’s something Cr [Ann] Potter and I have been pushing for for many years.’’ Cr Ogilvie also began advocating for a warmwater hydrotherapy pool about eight years ago, well before he had a stroke in 2015. He said the pool would be a great addition to the ward. ‘‘It’s going to really benefit a lot of people.’’ Cr Medcraft said money to finish upgrades to O’Shanassy Street was also welcome. ‘‘O’Shanassy Street is a perfect example of good planning,’’ he added. Submissions on the draft budget close on June 8. The council will meet to adopt its budget on June 27.

Vital, and not forgotten The many and varied contributions of volunteers from the Macedon Ranges’ six neighbourhood houses have been acknowledged at a morning tea at Riddells Creek. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas presented certificates of appreciation last Thursday as part of celebrations marking Volunteers Week. She said the learning centres served a valuable role in connecting people. ‘‘Our neighbourhood houses and their volunteers are like part of the family, always

happy to see a friendly face and willing to lend a helping hand,’’ Ms Thomas said. Chris Clark, who has volunteered at the Riddells Creek house since 2006, said neighbourhood houses gave people a chance to learn and contribute to their community. ‘‘They’re something all of the community can benefit from,’’ she said. The Riddells Creek house has about 10 volunteers helping to deliver more than 30 programs. Matt Crossman

Jobs, health, NBN in poll focus By Matt Crossman Jobs, healthcare, school funding and a telecommunications ‘‘crisis’’ are shaping up as key federal election issues in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges. The Labor-held seats of McEwen and Bendigo are expected to be critical electorates on July 2; they have margins of 0.2 and 1.3 per cent respectively. Candidates from the major parties have also listed cost-of-living increases, infrastructure, a fairer tax system and action on climate change as needing attention.

Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters said central Victorian schools would be $16 million a year better off under Labor, which has promised to fund the full six years of Gonski education reforms. ‘‘Labor has also committed to real action on climate change, marriage equality, rolling out the full NBN, protecting weekend penalty rates … cracking down on the use of temporary work visas and protecting paid parental leave,’’ she said. ‘‘We will fund these commitments by making multinational companies pay their

fair share of tax, with negative gearing and capital gains reform, and increasing the tax on cigarettes.’’ Both Ms Chesters and her McEwen counterpart, Rob Mitchell, said people were sick of being forced to make do with substandard phone and internet services. They said the rollout of the NBN under Malcolm Turnbull had been a ‘‘mess’’. ‘‘The Macedon Ranges is in a telecommunications crisis,’’ Ms Chesters said. Jobs and infrastructure was the mantra from Liberal candidates Megan Purcell (Bendigo)

and Chris Jermyn (McEwen), who said a returned Turnbull government would promote growth. ‘‘[We will] help central Victorian and Macedon Ranges small businesses and working families through less red tape, incentives and tax relief,’’ Ms Purcell said. Greens candidates Rosemary Glaisher and Neil Barker said only their party would put climate change and renewable energy at the top of the agenda. The 21st Century Party (Peter Bland) also intends to have a McEwen candidate in July’s poll. Nominations close June 9.

Tribute to ‘first people’ Hume council is hoping that expanded recognition of the city’s 1000 indigenous residents will foster an environment that will help ‘‘close the gap’’ on life expectancy. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags will fly at half mast on National Sorry Day (May 26), while the word ‘‘wominjeka’’ (welcome) will be added to signs at all council buildings. Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the symbolic measures, undertaken after consultation with indigenous leaders, were important. ‘‘We want the first people of this nation to feel comfortable with Hume City council so they’ll utilise the services which can make a big difference to their lives,’’ she said. ‘‘Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more likely to access a council service like maternal health if they

feel it is delivered in a manner that respects indigenous culture.’’ Council figures show the number of indigenous people using maternal and child health services increased 50 per cent in the past 12 months. ‘‘This is promising news, since our services can offer a healthy start to life for some of Hume’s youngest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people,’’ Cr Patsikatheodorou said. Nationally, the average indigenous person lives 17 years less than a non-indigenous citizen.

Hi-tech care for the kids By Matt Crossman Early childhood learning has entered a brave new world in Gisborne, after a $3.7 million centre with high-tech features and an environmentally sustainable design opened its doors in Robertson Street on Monday. The Manna Gum Family and Children’s Centre building in Robertson Street will house Gisborne kindergarten, the Maternal Child and Health Centre, and Gisborne Toy Library. The centre’s integrated design features two kindergarten rooms, offices, consulting rooms and a multi-purpose area. A vertical garden from floor to ceiling makes a striking first impression upon entry to the main foyer, while windows, ceilings and furniture of varying heights, shapes and materials are designed to ensure the centre is interesting for its youngest clients. A specially designed kitchen will encourage children to be part of the food preparation process. Even Gisborne kinder’s beloved chicken, Pumpkin, is being catered for thanks to a flash steel coop that’s part of an outdoor area with bamboo forest, play equipment and synthetic and natural grasses. Inside, wi-fi and internet-enabled smart TVs will foster technology-driven learning. Council community wellbeing director Karen Stevens said the main aim of the new centre was to provide a space to provide significant benefits for families and children. Kinder rooms will cater for classes of up to 33 children, five more than previously. Immunisation and outreach services such as speech pathology could also be run from the centre, and rooms will be available for use by mothers and playgroups and for hire to community groups.

Mayor Graham Hackett said that after almost two years of planning and construction, the centre’s opening was an exciting moment for the growing community. ‘‘Families will have greater access to services and children will have a wonderful new centre in which to play and learn,’’ he said. ‘‘This is a real opportunity to showcase our commitment to ensuring infrastructure supports the needs of future generations.’’

Water collected from the centre’s pitched roof will be used to flush toilets, while other environmentally friendly elements include double-glazed windows, solar hot water and native vegetation. Land at the rear of the centre will be landscaped but kept available for future expansion. The centre will open from 8.30am-5pm week days.

Sunbury issues get a hearing with Liberals The need to rise to the challenges of explosive growth was a persistent theme when Sunbury’s health, local government and emergency service leaders met with members of the state opposition’s shadow cabinet last week. Close to 80 people were part of talks involving Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and other Liberal politicians including Western Metropolitan MP Bernie Finn. Mr Guy, who later met the committee of the Sunbury Residents Association, repeated his promise that the town would get its own council in the first term of a Liberal government. Mr Finn said the talks were a great opportunity for decision-makers to meet the alternative premier. ‘‘Like a lot of areas, the biggest issue facing Sunbury is the growth,’’ he said. ‘‘Here, it’s more so because of what is about to happen [with new estates and so on] … we need to be ready when it does. ‘‘The duplication of Sunbury Road, the Bulla bypass, better health services in town … we’ve been talking about them for years. Now it’s decision time.’’ Following talks about the need for extra parking for commuters and a third level crossing in the town, deputy opposition leader David Hodgett was scheduled to meet residents at Sunbury train station on Monday.

MY PLACE Sunbury vicar Gavin Ward tells reporter Matt Crossman that Sunbury’s charm remains, despite the challenges. What’s your tie to the area? I am the minister of St Mary’s Anglican Church, situated on the Village Green. I arrived in the area in December, 2006. I’d never visited Sunbury before then, but being a cricket tragic I was looking forward to living in the birthplace of the Ashes. How has the town changed in that time? Over the past 10 years, Sunbury has grown with many new estates and businesses in town. But its beauty and charm hasn’t changed. I can’t go down the street without running into someone I know, and strangers still greet me when they walk past. I still see kangaroos regularly on my morning exercise around Jacksons Hill.

Sunbury has some great challenges common to growing communities, including transport, parking and infrastructure. There’s also many social issues – domestic violence, those struggling with financial pressures and substance abuse. However, I’m also very encouraged by those individuals and organisations such as CareWorks, the [Rotary] community meals kitchen and Salvation Army, to name a few, who contribute so much to those in need. How have you found St Mary’s as a church and Sunbury as a community? St Mary’s is a wonderful, welcoming community of people who love God, follow Jesus and desire to share his love with all in

(Joe Mastroianni)

What do you see as some of the area’s biggest challenges and opportunities?

words and in practical ways. The hospitality at St Mary’s is so good that I need to keep exercising to keep my weight in check. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love bushwalking and playing tennis with some great people at Sunbury Tennis Club.

I love all things to do with planes, including playing on my flight simulator and with my model airport. Also, going to the footy and the cricket and spending time with my wife, Sharon. I enjoy the lovely walks around Jacksons Hill, Woodlands Estate and Emu Bottom, but I’m still waiting to spot a platypus there.

Where do you like to go for coffee or a bite to eat? Just Planet is my favourite coffee shop, with their Fairtrade coffee and produce. I also enjoy Vic’s, the Spotted Owl, Jolly Miller and the Flag of India. My take-away fix includes fish and chips from Loz’s.

YOUR SAY MP out of line

I refer to the front page article â&#x20AC;&#x153;MP slams Gisborne â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;neglectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? (Star Star Weekly Weekly, May 10). As a councillor and south ward representative, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m somewhat disappointed with the manner and tone of the MP in not understanding the vision and growth of the Gisborne district when this is included in the Macedon Ranges planning scheme and the Loddon Mallee Regional Growth Plan. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more than happy to provide copies to the MP. To suggest â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fact is, shires wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask forâ&#x20AC;? is grossly misleading, to say the least, especially to the public, for which I and council have been working for years. In fact, since 2011, I have sent letters to the Roads Minister requesting urgent funding for a pedestrian crossing in Aitken Street, Gisborne; the Saunders and Station roads intersection in New Gisborne (stage two); and the proposal for a new bypass from the Bacchus Marsh Gisborne Road to the Calder Freeway, which will remove heavy truck movement from the Gisborne CBD â&#x20AC;Ś to name a few. These letters were all copied to our local MP and discussed well before the state budget. I have listened to the community and articulated their requests through council to you and your government. Unfortunately, the minister has made no formal commitment to the above. Why? The community has been talking to me daily about these urgent infrastructure needs, which are the responsibility of VicRoads and the state government, not council.

Star Weekly Weekly,, May 10

So it is incumbent on me to relay these needs to the responsible authority as our state representative. All council is doing is seeking urgent help and funding for our current and future growth from the state government and to work in partnership for a safer, better and more prosperous future for the Gisborne district. Cr Russell Mowatt, New Gisborne

Council missing in action

The recent decision by Macedon Ranges councillors to write to the

Planning Minister, calling on the state government to bail council out of its own mismanagement of population growth in Gisborne, is yet another example of this council not being prepared to do the hard work needed to develop a long-term plan to support the liveability of our shire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply unacceptable for councillors to cry poor and pass the buck of responsibility on this so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;tsunamiâ&#x20AC;? of population growth when their own settlement strategy, endorsed in July 2011, estimated Gisborneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population would grow to 14,700 by 2036. Gisborneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population has already exceeded 13,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20 years earlier than predicted. The council owes the Gisborne community an explanation as to why, since 2011, it has continued to approve development after development in Gisborne when it knew the required infrastructure and services to support this growth did not exist. This council has been missing in action when it comes to identifying the long-term infrastructure priorities our towns so desperately need and lobbying state and federal governments to support the delivery of these priorities. Where was this council, in the lead-up to the recent state budget, calling on the state government to commit funds to deliver local priorities? And why has this council been so silent with the community in the lead-up to the July federal election about the priorities it has been selling to the federal government and opposition? A half-baked equine centre idea is hardly going to meet our local

infrastructure needs and should not be the only proposal sitting on the desk of government on behalf of our community. Jamie Byron, south ward candidate, Mount Macedon

The three bedrooms share a black and white bathroom with floating vanity unit and twin basins.

SPORT Riddell powers up for Inverloch stoush The Riddell District Netball League will take a powerful side to Inverloch on Saturday in its bid for an interleague victory over Alberton. The RDNL side of 10 includes seven players on current Victoria Netball League lists, including championship division players Lauren Close and Sara Febbo. Other VNL players in the squad are Alex Maher, Toni Lind, Danielle Wilson, Tess Abbott and Melissa Laird. The remaining three members – Hope Evans, Christine Harris and Cayley Armstrong – are just as experienced, all having previously represented the league. Riddell’s Jarrad Walker, in his first year coaching in the league, is now at the helm of the interleague squad. “It’s very exciting and I’m absolutely loving it,” said Walker, who also coaches Southern Saints in the VNL’s division 1. I’ve always loved the country leagues; it’s a different atmosphere

to the Victorian Netball League. The VNL is a lot stricter whereas in country leagues you can have a bit more fun …it has a real community feeling to it.” Only three players from last year’s team – Abbott, Evans and Harris – are in this year’s side. “I wanted to take a full-strength side to Alberton … I need them to implement things straight away,” Walker said. “I said to a lot of them, ‘We want you in the team not just because you’re VNL players, but you need to want to play in the game’.” Walker says he’s looking forward to working with some players he would normally coach against. “I’ve coached against Toni [Lind] for a number of seasons [in VNL]. I’ll get an insight into her mind and how she gets the ball down the court. I’m also loving the chance to work with Hope [Evans]. She’s a good shooter … I’ll

work with her to see how she likes to get the ball fed to her in the circle.” Walker says he’s confident his side has what it takes to win the match. “I’m taking down a team which I expect Alberton will have to adjust to – not us adjusting to them,” he said. Rupertswood head coach Di McCormack will coach the RDNL under-17 side. McCormack coached the senior interleague team last year. The U17 squad is: Rupertswood’s Bec Said, Danielle Scardamaglia, Emily Ktona, Eloise Freeman, Leshae Hogan, Holly Keating and Tilly White, along with Macey Drayton (Gisborne), Christie Brinkhauis (Romsey), Brittney Bowen (Woodend-Hesket), Cassandra Hocking (Macedon) and Nash Bennett (Melton Centrals). Tara Murray

Cats avoid fade-out By Tara Murray Macedon finds itself in the identical situation to what it was in 12 months ago . . . starting the Riddell District Football League season 5-0. But this time round, Cats’ coach Jeff Andrews thinks they are better off. After the good start last year, the Cats faded to finish fifth on the ladder before losing in the first round of finals. “Last year we didn’t beat anyone who was a threat in the first few weeks and then had to play them all in the middle of the season,” Andrews said. “This year we’ve beaten Broadford and Rupertswood, who we think will be up there. “In the next block of matches we play Wallan, Lancefield, Riddell and Diggers Rest and we’ve got to keep improving and get better each week. “We need to stay ahead of the curve. Being relatively free of injury will help too.” Happy with a 5-0 start, Andrews said there was still plenty of work to do. He said the team had only played out a full game in two matches. The most recent was on Saturday, when they beat Rockbank 20.13 (133)-4.2 (26). “We had the breeze in the first quarter and made the most of it,” Andrews said. “For us, it was more about how we played and how we defended. “We’ll look at the stats and the vision and work out whether we stuck to things. The scoreboard is irrelevant.” Shaun Harrison, Jack Kernan, Darren Goodwin, Jason Cooke and Jack Mills kicked three goals each in the win. Casey Summerfield was best on ground, carrying on his good start to the season after moving from Gisborne in the off season. “Casey and Tom [Waters] have done exactly what we wanted them to. They’ve exceeded expectations,” Andrews said. “They train every night and are doing extra work. When they do the extra work it gets other players to do it too.” Macedon has the week off because of the interleague clash and Andrews is looking for more consistent football when the team returns to the field. “In three matches we’ve played well in one quarter and kicked seven or eight goals and that has got us over the line,” he said. “We’ve played good opposition and we need to make sure we aren’t getting ahead of ourselves.” In other results, Woodend-Hesket shocked Sunbury Kangaroos; Riddell was too good for Melton Centrals; Wallan won a thriller over Lancefield; Diggers Rest remained undefeated after beating Rupertswood; and Broadford opened its account with victory over Romsey.

The three ‘Rs’ hand out a netball lesson The top three sides in the Riddell District Netball League all showed why they have been the standouts this season, with big wins on Saturday. With only losses against each other in the season so far, Rupertswood, Romsey and Riddell all made sure they did enough against sides lower than them on the ladder. Romsey, a surprise packet this season, defeated Broadford. Leading at every break, the Kangaroos ensured the Redbacks didn’t get away from them for the first three quarters. It took until the final quarter for the Redbacks to blow open the match, going on to win 32-21. Katelyn Byron was best on court, while Hope Evans was influential in her return to the game after missing the past few weeks. The Redbacks are third on the ladder with four wins and a loss, only percentage points behind Riddell. They suffered their only loss against the Riddells Creek Bombers. The Bombers returned to the winners’ list with a massive 56-26 goal win over Melton Centrals. With their full line-up back on court, the Bombers extended the lead in every quarter, showing why they are again the premiership favourites. Rebecca Colwell scored 23 goals for the Bombers, with Christine Harris and Ellen Close also scoring in double figures. Defender Sarah King was best on court, while Cayley Armstrong provided plenty of run in the midcourt. Rupertswood remains undefeated after beating Diggers Rest on Saturday. With their full line-up to chose from, the Sharks rotated their players through to outrun the Burras. Leading all game, the Sharks saved their best to last scoring 20 goals in the final quarter to win 58-36. Kirsten Daley, in her first game of the season, was best on court. Alex Maher scored 23 goals for the winners, while Burras’ playing coach Amy Carroll was her side’s best scoring 24 goals. Woodend-Hesket won its second game of the season with a strong 50-35 win over Sunbury Kangaroos. Madeline Staresina was the best shooter, hitting 35 goals, the same as the Kangaroos as a team. Defender Lisa Johnstone was named best on court. Lancefield had a massive win in the other game, restricting Wallan to just 10 goals while landing 53 of its own.

Rampant Lions almost play the perfect game It was the perfect game for Sunbury Lions for all but 20 minutes of the Ballarat Football League fixture against Melton South on Saturday. The Lions started slowly and switched off in the final 10 minutes, but everything else in between went their way. They controlled the midfield and had plenty of forward options while managing to keep the Panthers to four goals in the first three and half quarters. The final result was a 23.15 (153)-9.7 (61) win to the Lions. Coach Rick Horwood said he would take a win of that margin every week. “Apart from the first and last 10 minutes, it

was almost the perfect game for us,” he said. “Melton South are a young side and they tried really hard. There were periods when they looked really good against us and they kicked the last five goals of the game. We just stopped.” Despite the late fade-out, which removed some of the gloss, Horwood took only positives from the game. The midfield combination of Alik Magin and Daniel Toman was one of them. It was the first game of the season for Toman, who had been playing in the VFL. “The class of Toman and Magin was just gold,” Horwood said. “Those two just stood out and it lifted the

young guys around them and brought them into the game, “Younger guys like Nathan Wood, Nathan Bridgland, Jack Landt and Jesse Flannery are learning from quality players.” Vice-captain Adam Short played his first senior match of the season, while captain Andrew Duhau returned to the side and kicked three goals in about 60 per cent game time. Josh Burgess kicked six in the absence of Jack Sheahan, who injured his ankle last week. Joining Sheahan on the injury list after Saturday are Jesse McInneny, with a broken nose, and Joe Redfern, who hurt his ankle.

Tactical shift fuels Jets By Tara Murray The Sunbury Jets’ best performance of the Big V division 1 season earned them a 29-point win over Melbourne University on Sunday afternoon. After trailing at quarter-time, the Jets turned it on defensively, shutting down the Black Angels and capitalising in attack. Jets coach Andrew Summerville said the win, their fifth in seven games, represented a mission accomplished for Sunday’s game. “We’re happy with how the boys played,” he said. “We had some targets we set before the match and we achieved them all. I’m pretty confident that when we do that we’re going to win.” The decision to switch from man-on-man to a zone defence proved a winner. “We really struggled to guard them man on man, which was disappointing,” Summerville said. “We played that way the whole first quarter and just couldn’t find our rhythm … we were fouling and guys weren’t committing to structures. “At quarter-time, we went to zone and that was the difference … we were able to gather some momentum and get some stops [at the defensive end] and get our running and attacking going.” The tactical move opened the game up, with the Jets restricting the Black Angels’ scoring in the third and fourth quarters. With the win all but sealed, the Jets bench got some good minutes on court in the last term. Four players reached double figures for the Jets in a well-rounded scoring game – something Summerville knows is essential. He said the scoring feats extended beyond the usual contributions of Ish Sanders and Mitch Newton. “They still scored well, but we had other guys like Jeremy Wragg and Kade Marra getting on the scoresheet. “They [Sanders and Newton] can’t be perfect every week and if they’re having an off game we need other people to step up. “In games we’ve won we’ve had those others step up. In some of the ones we’ve lost, I think we’ve relied on [Sanders and Newton] too much,” Wragg played his first game for the season and impressed at both ends of the court. “He really prepared himself for the start today,” Summerville said. “He was here late last night getting shots up and he deserved to start.” The win was the Jets’ fifth, placing them eighth on the ladder, to go with five losses. “We had a disrupted start to the season, but I think we’re slowly coming into form,” the coach added. “We’re not going to win every game … we’ve just got to keep winning the ones we’re meant to win and steal a couple of the others. “I’m pretty proud of where we’re at.”

Regular players Mathew Medcraft, Ben McInneny and James Rizk are all overseas. The Lions don’t play this week because of the interleague match against the WRFL, and they enter the week-off sitting at 4-1. “It’s a good start and I’ll take 4-1 at the break,” the coach said. Horwood, who is on the interleague coaching panel, said four Lions players would have been named in the final squad, but two of them, the injured McInneny and Redfern, are unlikely to play. Burgess and Grant Valles are the other two expected to make the squad. Tara Murray

A light on horizon as Dogs rebuild The results might not show it, but Gisborne has surpassed its expectations in the Bendigo Football League. Having lost more than half of last year’s senior squad in the off season, it was always going to be a tough start for the Bulldogs. Add to that mix a draw that had the team meeting last year’s five finalists in the opening six weeks. On Saturday, the Bulldogs suffered their fifth straight loss, to Eaglehawk 21.14 (140) - 7.5 (47). But their coach, Brad Spear, said his side had been more competitive than he’d expected early on. “We’ve had such a young team up against last year’s finalists. The real positive is we’ve not given up and we’ve fought out these games until the end. “It’s been a pretty tough draw, but it means we’ll play them all again towards the back end of the season and see how we go against them and gauge our improvement.” He said the longer the season went the more consistency the playing group would have. “I think we’ve got to expect inconsistency. As they mature we will become physically and mentally stronger. “It will come and we have to be patient. We’re heading in the right direction and in every game we’re making a step forward. “As a coach it’s important to keep them positive. The fact is we’ve been competitive against the top sides so there are positives.” Spear said a number of his younger players had thrived on being given extra responsibility. He said the club was also mindful of asking them to do too much. Many mix playing senior football and under-18s to play with their mates. “Nick Doolan and Matt Wilson are both under-18s and were among our best players last week. “Tom Cassidy and Jack Scanlon have gone well, above expectations. They’ve both been solid contributors up forward.” The Bulldogs sit ninth on the ladder ahead of this week’s interleague break and are one of three sides without a win after the first five rounds. Meanwhile, Kyneton suffered a 34-point loss to Kangaroo Flat. After leading at half-time, the Tigers were goalless in the third quarter and it turned the game in the Kangaroos’ favour. The Roos kept the momentum going to win 17.19 (121) - 13.9 (97). Tara Murray
