Carpark plan revived By Matt Crossman

Proud Pa says thanks

(Luke Hemer)

A property developer with major business interests in Sunbury stands ready to proceed with plans for a multi-level carpark in Sunbury’s Evans Street. With frustration about a lack of parking spaces in central Sunbury continuing to mount, Ingram Property Group’s Glenn Ingram told Star Weekly he was prepared to resurrect a detailed proposal for a project outside Harris Scarfe, next to Sunbury train station, provided Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and Hume council came to the party. ‘‘Doing nothing is no longer an option,’’ he said. Plans for a multi-level carpark were abandoned in 2010 despite extensive talks between Mr Ingram and the council. Mr Ingram said a combination of population growth and the 2012 electrification of the Sunbury train line meant the town already faced a shortfall of up to 700 spaces. ‘‘To me, it’s quite logical,’’ he said. ‘‘It can be fixed. The plans are there. It just needs the support of all parties.’’ Mr Ingram did not agree with calls to simply increase the number of bus services, saying the ‘‘tidal flow’’ of commuters in the morning and evening peaks came from far and wide. Sunbury Business Association president Michael Osborne recently 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.’’ A study has found that up to 40 per cent of cars parked at Sunbury station come from the Macedon Ranges. Council city governance and information director Daryl Whitfort said the previous plan was abandoned because financial arrangements were not suitable for all stakeholders. ‘‘Hume would support another proposal if it was viable to all parties,’’ he said. A PTV spokesman said its predecessor, the former Department of Transport, was not a party to the negotiations. With no additional government-owned land in the town centre, he said, the only viable development parcel was the Harris Scarfe site. ‘‘PTV has indicated to council its support for any plans that will increase car parking in the area.’’

When Charlotte Jones’s grandfather, Ron, fell to the floor shaking on January 5 this year, the nine-year-old knew exactly what to do. Quickly dialling triple-0, Charlotte remained calm as the call-taker took her through a series of questions to gauge Mr McKenzie’s condition. ‘‘My pa, he’s shaking,’’ she told Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) call-taker Jess Pullen. ‘‘He’s really cold and he’s vomiting.’’ The Woodend Primary School pupil also relayed information about where Mr McKenzie was feeling pain and his past medical history. Paramedics soon arrived and took Mr McKenzie, 91, to hospital where he was diagnosed with a serious blood infection. After a week, he returned home and is doing well. Charlotte’s efforts to get her grandfather the help he needed were recognised with an ESTA award on Thursday. She was one of 29 Victorian children receiving awards at the 12th annual ceremony. Charlotte’s mum Michelle McKenzie-Jones said it was a great moment. ‘‘We certainly taught her about triple-0 from a young age and they went through the lessons at school,’’ she said. ‘‘But you just never know how it’s going to be until something like that happens. We’re very proud.’’ Charlotte said while she had been upset to see her grandfather in pain, she knew she needed to phone triple-0 for help. ‘‘He still tells me thank-you,’’ she said.

Council cuts not so neighbourly By Matt Crossman Proposed cuts to neighbourhood house funding and sports infrastructure, and a proposal for an international equine centre, were hot topics at Macedon Ranges council’s budget submissions hearing. As well, decisive action on climate change was urged as about a dozen people took advantage of the opportunity to speak to their submissions last Wednesday night. Co-ordinators from the municipality’s six neighbourhood houses formed a united front against the council’s proposal to slash their

share of funding by up to 50 per cent. Woodend Neighbourhood House president Glenda Fisher said the move would leave the organisations with little choice but to increase fees for classes and programs. ‘‘People will say we can’t afford that so we won’t come,’’ she said. ‘‘We don’t want that.’’ Ms Fisher said neighbourhood houses contributed significantly to the aims of the council’s health and wellbeing policies. ‘‘During last year’s fires, where would you have been without Lancefield Neighbourhood House?’’ Stud farmer Joe Vella urged the council to commit $25,000 to prepare a business case

for a multi-purpose equine centre in the municipality’s south-east. ‘‘The business plan will tell us, and you, whether it’s a goer or not,’’ he said. Other submitters said the equine industry should fund the project. While praising “overdue” expenditure on solar panels and energy efficiency, Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group president Ralf Thesing called for consideration of an interest-free solar panel loan scheme and more spending on bike and pedestrian paths. The draft budget calls for an average rate

increase of 2.5 per cent in 2016-17, taking the average bill to $2069. Acting chief executive Sophie Segafredo said neighbourhood houses were a state government-funded initiative. ‘‘Council has supported these programs over a number of years with in-kind support and financial contributions,’’ she said. ‘‘[Rate capping] has led council to review its commitment to programs that are the responsibility of other levels of government in order to meet its own obligations with reduced income.’’ Councillors will meet to adopt the budget on June 22.

Stretched to retain chaplain

Ceramic art, crafted using different styles, will be on display this weekend as part of the Macedon Ranges Potters group’s annual exhibition. Fifteen members, who come from across Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges, have been working away in their studios preparing for the free event at Woodend Community Hub from 10am-4pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Works on show will include functional and sculptural pieces created using different clays and glazes. More details: 0413 320 706

Turn of hand a spin on art

Goonawarra Primary School is seeking help to retain a welfare chaplaincy position. Principal Alan Fairweather said the Sunbury school had continued to pay for the $28,000-a-year position since federal funding expired in 2014. He said the school had been unable to attract external support since chaplaincy became a state responsibility. ‘‘We value the program so much that we’ve worked hard to find ways to cover it ourselves,’’ Mr Fairweather said. Relying in part on money raised by a local committee and various fundraising events, the school continues to ensure the chaplain is available two days a week. ‘‘It’s always a burden, but it’s valued,’’ Mr Fairweather said. ‘‘They deal one on one with students where there’s issues. ‘‘Kids with social problems at school or within the family, grief and loss, family breakdowns, blended families … sometimes they just need someone to talk to who’s not a teacher or principal.’’ Mr Fairweather said feedback had been enormously positive, but money being spent on the program was needed elsewhere. ‘‘The chaplain’s also available to parents and staff,’’ he said. Speaking in Parliament on May 24, Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn called on the government to step in. ‘‘Goonawarra is an area that historically has suffered a number of social problems,’’ he said. ‘‘[The position] has worked wonders in helping many children facing difficulties.’’

Artists hit the trail A research scientist turned wildlife artist and an origami maestro are among the artists who have signed on for this year’s Macedon Ranges Arts Trail. Gisborne’s William Ritchie and Chieko Hester (pictured) are among close to 40 artists joining the trail project, now in its fourth year. Ritchie says he’s thrilled to be part of the trail, which gives art lovers the chance to meet artists in their own workshops or studios. ‘‘I got involved last year as I saw it as a great idea and concept that could assist me to establish myself as an artist,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s been great … it has helped me connect with some very helpful people and the local community, which has led to many opportunities.’’

Ritchie, who has a PhD in biology, says his scientific background has benefits for his art. ‘‘There’s a lot of crossover in terms of application of information and knowledge in a painting,’’ he said. ‘‘I rely on my understanding of ecology, biology, anatomy and the environment when depicting my subject matter.’’ Trail co-ordinator Nadine Hartnett said 24 artists and 17 galleries and businesses would be part of this year’s trail, which will include exhibitions, classes and awards. Brochures with details of the arts trail will be released early next month. Details: 0439 399 838

Sports hub bid builds backers By Matt Crossman Organisers behind the push for a centrally-located indoor sports hub in the Macedon Ranges are confident the concept will attract federal, state and local government support. As reported by Star Weekly, residents have been urged to get behind the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Hub group’s campaign for a six-court stadium, as existing facilities are outdated and bursting at the seams. The campaign’s detailed proposal also shows that accessibility to indoor courts in the area is poor. The municipality is ranked 46th in regional Victoria, with one indoor court for every 3675 people. Basketball Victoria and Netball Victoria support the project, which would include administration space, storage, catering and bar facilities. More than 2000 people have joined the group’s social media campaign in just four weeks. Group member Allan Spencer-Stewart told last week’s council budget submissions hearing that the sports landscape has changed. ‘‘It’s no longer just football, cricket and netball,” he said. “Towns across the nation are trying to play catch-up.’’ Mr Spencer-Stewart urged the council to support the project in its upcoming leisure strategy, with $22 million available under a new state funding scheme.

‘‘This is not about one town over another,’’ he said. ‘‘This is about incredible collaboration … what we are talking about here is a region-building project. ‘‘For 100 years, the Macedon Ranges has had nine towns competing for infrastructure. ‘‘The best way to get around [the pressures of population growth] is to work together.’’

‘‘

What we are talking about is … a region-building - Allan Spencer-Stewart project

’’

Following a meeting between stakeholders and council representatives, spokeswoman Tamara Collins said the group had been able to present a compelling case ‘‘The community support is clearly there,’’ she said. ‘‘We just need to get that in-principle support from council, so we can go to other levels of government and take the next step.’’ Cr John Connor, who attended the recent meeting, said the group had done a great job putting together a ‘‘terrific proposal’’. ‘‘Hopefully, we can help make it happen. You can’t let such a positive drive go nowhere.’’ Federal election candidates Rob Mitchell (Labor) and Megan Purcell (Liberal) have also been involved in talks with the group.

Walk through hoops Parents, students, teams and individuals are being urged to sign up for a free ‘walking basketball’ program being rolled out in Sunbury. Basketball Victoria, with support from VicHealth, has selected Sunbury for the first trial of the low-impact, joint-friendly game. Sunbury Basketball Association junior development officer Chris Tighe says walking basketball will be a great way to help people reach the recommended 10,000 steps every day they need to maintain fitness. ‘‘It’s basically basketball without the

running,’’ Tighe says. ‘‘It’s great in that it’s for all ages and fitness levels. “It’s just a great way to get moving.’’ Tighe says the new game is also likely to be welcomed by people coming back from injury. ‘‘I know myself, I did an ACL, and I would have much preferred to have had this rather than being restricted to working on the upper body.’’ Games will be played weekly. Registrations close this week. Details: 9837 8000 Matt Crossman

YOUR SAY ‘Vision’ in Gisborne boom

Re: letter titled Council missing in action (Star Star Weekly Weekly, May 17): As a councillor and south ward representative, I welcome the writer in seeking an explanation of the growth of Gisborne district. Gisborne is a vibrant community with great township character, which is valued highly by residents and visitors alike. Council’s vision for Gisborne’s growth is clearly set out in the planning scheme, which includes a detailed outline development plan guiding decisions. This plan was created after extensive community consultation and was approved by the state planning minister. Coupled with this is the Loddon Mallee South regional growth plan, which talks about the visions for the region and future land use direction, as Gisborne will become a regional centre. Council has also recently completed streetscape works to improve and complement the town’s bustling commercial, retail sector, and some carparks. Council has also invested heavily in improving community health and wellbeing, including developing the stadium in partnership with Gisborne Secondary College, a new netball complex at New Gisborne, a new family and children’s centre in Robertson Street, a new pavilion at Dixon Reserve, and through improvements to Gardiner Reserve, including a new netball court upgrade and oval lighting. The writer misleads the community [by saying] local priorities leading up to the state budget have not been communicated, when in fact I have sent letters to the roads

Libs stand by their McEwen man By Matt Crossman

Pop in to instore pop-up

(Luke Hemer)

Beleaguered Liberal Chris Jermyn will continue as his party’s candidate for McEwen after a horror week that included a train-wreck interview and the removal of non-conforming campaign signs from his Sunbury office. Mr Jermyn’s future was discussed by party officials last Thursday night. They decided any move to withdraw his endorsement would distract from campaigning in one of the nation’s most marginal seats. Labor MP Rob Mitchell won the 2013 election by only about 300 votes. Mr Jermyn was firmly in the national media spotlight after he stood outside Sunbury Community Health on May 28 with Corflute signs while Opposition Leader Bill Shorten committed $2 million for a new child health hub. The Liberal candidate later packed up his ‘listening post’ and stormed off from reporters after being unable to articulate his own party’s Medicare policy. Then, large signs above his Sunbury campaign office had to be pulled down last week after it was revealed they did not meet Hume council bylaws. A Sunbury Liberal source, who did not want to be named, said things had been blown out of proportion. ‘‘He’s still attracting quite a positive response out there in the community,’’ the source said. ‘‘We’ve found him to be a great person to work with. The problem is, being such a marginal seat, it’s a big risk for Labor to lose, so they want to make a big deal of it. “Let’s face it, if you’re standing out there with a corflute sign, it’s not the world’s biggest issue.’’ Mr Jermyn did not comment.

Craftspeople and artisans are being given the chance to showcase their creativity via a pop-up shop established by the team behind Sunbury’s annual StreetLife small business festival. Spokeswoman Sharyn Snook says Home Grown, open at 88 O’Shanassy Street from this Wednesday, will showcase handmade items not available at other stores. ‘‘It will range from gorgeous furniture in a vintage or shabby-chic style to scarves and jewellery … there’s a real mix of stuff,’’ she said. The store will initially run for four months. ‘‘But if it goes well, we’ll look to make it more permanent,” Ms Snook said. Details: 0418 403 346 LINDA MATINA, HANNAH LIDDLE AND SHARYN SNOOK

Safe cycle solution close By Matt Crossman There are hopes cyclists and pedestrians may be able to travel safely between Sunbury and Diggers Rest as soon as September after the Bloomdale estate developer promised to build its section of a path that stops dangerously short of a Calder Freeway overpass. VicRoads last month confirmed Hume and Melton councils have agreed on a strategy and shared responsibilities for the completion of the Vineyard Road path. The road authority will now conduct bike and pedestrian counts, and assess if there is enough space to connect the path over the Calder interchange.

Sunbury Bicycle Users Group spokesman Hector Bugeja said the promise meant a safe solution was a big step closer. ‘‘This is a trigger,’’ he said. ‘‘This is really exciting. Instead of everyone saying it will take three years, we’re a lot closer now.’’ As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the current path ends at Moore Road, about 200 metres short of the Calder Freeway overpass, forcing cyclists and pedestrians heading for Diggers Rest to cross onto the road. With vehicles trying to enter the freeway or continue to the overpass, Mr Bugeja said it was a nasty mix. He said there had been many near-misses involving cars, pedestrians or cyclists at the busy site.

A cyclist was killed in a crash further along the stretch of road in October last year. Mr Bugeja said the developer’s decision to bring its work forward put the spotlight on Hume council, which is partly responsible for the path. Hume council’s city infrastructure director Peter Waite said a connection across the freeway is the responsibility of VicRoads. ‘‘Council will place a high priority for a path from Moore Road in its capital works program, once a path in Melton and a path across the freeway are confirmed.’’ VicRoads’ regional director Vince Punaro said the authority would work closely with Hume and Melton councils on the project.

Friends in need sit here Youngsters who need a little help with social engagement are benefiting from the installation of four ‘friendship seats’ at Sunbury’s Killara Primary School. Teacher Robyn Smith says research shows making and keeping friends doesn’t always come naturally for some children, who often need help from parents and teachers. The environmentally-friendly seats, made from recycled plastic bags, allow children who are looking for a friend to sit and meet others who feel the same way, under guidance from student leaders and staff.

Aldi land sale cops criticism A group of Gisborne residents has slammed Macedon Ranges council’s plans to only deal with grocery chain Aldi in its sale of a 2025 square-metre block of land at 51 Aitken Street. As reported by Star Weekly in April, councillors approved sale of the land, long earmarked for parking, to Aldi for $600,000. This overturned an earlier council decision to seek expressions of interest from any interested parties. Last week’s special council meeting heard many people feared the council was not getting the most out of the sale. Representing concerned residents, lawyer Mark Bartley said the price was much less than market value. ‘‘The use of a non-competitive sale has also got to raise questions,’’ he said. Cr John Letchford said a private treaty was allowable when a suitable public purpose was being served. But businessman David Williamson questioned the site’s public value, saying its locale would do little to ease parking woes. Cr Letchford has previously said contamination of the former Gisborne shire depot site next door would affect the land value. But council officers confirmed that contamination was restricted to the adjoining lot, and was cleared in 2015. The sale proposal will be considered again by the council on June 22. Aldi, meanwhile, has plans for a supermarket on another block. Matt Crossman

Poets’ work in motion

Traffic snarl to be untangled

By Matt Crossman

Senator Range

Works to transform Sunbury’s most notorious traffic hotspot are expected to start mid to late next year following the compulsorily acquisition of a small area of land to allow approaches to be widened. Visiting the intersection of Gap Road and Horne Street last week, Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said the $6.4 million project to install traffic lights, turning lanes, pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes would greatly improve safety and traffic flow. About 21,500 vehicles travel on Horne Street each day and 18,000 on Gap Road. ‘‘It’s got to the stage where something’s got to be done,’’ Mr Donnellan said. ‘‘With that amount of traffic, a roundabout’s just not going to work any more.’’ The project, due for completion in 2018, will also give pedestrians safer routes to the town centre, schools and public transport. Sunbury MP Josh Bull thanked residents for keeping the issue on the agenda. ‘‘This is a great day for Sunbury, a great day,’’ he said. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn, who with Sunbury Residents Association has long campaigned for action, was delighted efforts had paid off. Hume council mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou also welcomed the project. ‘‘These traffic lights will quicken commute times and ease the frustration that’s been felt by so many families.’’

The release of an anthology of poems, birthed by the Macedon Ranges’ Chamber Poets movement, will share billing with internationally renowned musical performers and literary talents as part of this weekend’s Woodend Winter Arts festival. Barista turned poet and editor Ben Oost (pictured) will bring a local flavour to the annual event, taking part in the launch of Shots From The Chamber at The Chamber Art and Coffee House, from 2pm Saturday. The anthology features some of Australia’s best poets but, like the monthly Chamber Poets open mic events, it’s far from elitist. ‘‘It really reflects what Chamber Poets is,’’ Oost says. ‘‘You’ve got all these fabulous poets, and their work sits right alongside a piece from a nine year-old. ‘‘It’s an opportunity to explore poetry in an exciting way, the way it should be, rather than being the stuffy thing people think it is.’’ Also at the festival, political commentator Laurie Oakes will reflect on five decades reporting on the machinations of governments in a conversation with Sally Warhaft, while former premier John Brumby, who has turned his experiences into a book, will be joined by writer and poet Joel Deane and Michael Bachelard, head of the investigative unit at The Age. Festival director and celebrated pianist Jacqueline Ogeil will perform 30 Scarlatti sonatas on a copy of the first-ever piano, invented by Cristofori, while Italian accordionist Pietro Roffi and Singaporean pianist Clarence Lee will also fly in for performances. Author Kate Grenville will speak at Woodend Community Centre, while composer, pianist and scholar Professor Robert Constable will

accompany two classic movies in a mini Buster Keaton festival. Oost says the festival, in its 12th year, continues to be a jewel in Woodend’s crown. ‘The kind of events on offer and all the people it brings in, it’s just great for the town,’’ he says.

This year’s festival program also includes a long list of workshops, exhibitions and sales. A fireworks show will be held at Buffalo Stadium from 5.30pm Friday. Details: www.woodendwinterartsfestival. org.au

Winter Escape Fight the flu, don’t share it

Come in out of the cold, relax & enjoy an Organic Facial and a Free Classic pedicure

Winter is here and with it can come sniffles, scratchy throats and achy bodies. So how can you help protect yourself against the dreaded flu? A yearly vaccination could be the best way to prevent influenza. The Australian Disease Control and Prevention Centre recommends getting a flu shot to help prevent contracting the flu and potentially suffering other serious complications.

2 hrs of Bliss for $

Staving off the flu means fewer doctors’ visits, less days off work and school, and, for those severely affected, fewer flu-related hospitalisations. Although it doesn’t guarantee protection, people who get a flu shot are less likely to get sick compared to those who haven’t been vaccinated. Some of the reasons flu shots are advised are;

(you must mention this add when booking)

– They can help prevent people getting sick and spreading it to others

Synergy Hair & Beauty

– They can reduce the risk of more serious flu outcomes, such as hospitalisations.

– They can help protect people who are at greater risk of getting seriously ill from the flu, such as elderly people, those with chronic health conditions and young children

Remember a new flu vaccine is released every year to keep up with the rapidly adapting flu virus, and because it evolves so quickly, last year’s vaccine may not protect you from this year’s virus. So this year it may be worth considering getting the jab – it’s not as painful as it sounds.

DID YOU KNOW

VOTING RULES HAVE CHANGED?

Make your vote count this federal election Saturday 2 July At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly. On the large white Senate ballot paper, you can choose to vote either above or below the line. If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.

If you choose to vote below the line, you need to number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice. Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed. On the green ballot paper, you need to number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box. ‘How to vote’ instructions will be clearly displayed on your ballot paper. Don’t worry if you make a mistake — just ask for another ballot paper.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

Within an easy amble of all that Gisborne has on offer – schools, eateries and services – this as-new residence dials up a contemporary edge and is wonderfully light-filled, courtesy of large, black-framed windows. The soothing colour palette has pearl-grey wall paint, white accents in trimmings and roller blinds, grey carpet and floor tiles and a darker grey in cabinetry. Living spaces include a carpeted lounge room and a tiled family-meals area. The glossy kitchen has white and grey cupboards, white stone benches, grey splashback tiles and the shiny mod-cons. Three bedrooms share two stylish bathrooms. A balcony outside the front lounge room is the spot for pretty views. The compact backyard has room for a vegie garden, while a remote-controlled double garage is another keynote.

On about 1539 square metres with subdivision potential (STCA), this combination of classic triple-fronted brick-veneer and detached, self-contained unit has many attributes likely to appeal to a broad buyer base. The house’s three carpeted bedrooms, each with a built-in wardrobe, share two bathrooms. There’s also a study or fourth bedroom. Living areas are a carpeted lounge room (with gas heater) at the front, a meals zone and a family room with lovely garden views and a wood heater set in a painted brick wall. There is ducted heating. The kitchen has timber benchtops, a large servery window to the family room and a gas upright cooker. Four powered sheds, including one with parking bay, are accessible from the rear street and provide multiple usage options. The garage houses the laundry. The property is within a walk of the town centre, primary school and transport.

A casual stroll will take you from this country-cottage charmer to the Campaspe River trail, and all the treats of historic Piper Street (well-reviewed eateries, boutiques and arts scene) are within a 10-minute walk. On about 815 square metres, the house has an appealing country weekender feel, and the cosy factor that comes with that. It’s the wooden dado walls in most rooms that achieve the look – carpeted lounge room and adjoining meals zone included. The kitchen has plenty of modern cupboards, pantry, soft-grey benchtops and a dishwasher. Each of three large bedrooms (dado walls) has built-in wardrobes, while the main also has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The laundry has an enclosed toilet. A verandah faces very pretty gardens and a triple carport. A big shed with concrete floor and power is another drawcard, as are ducted heating and cooling and solar panels.

For Macedon Ranges’ lovers looking to downsize, first-home buyers and investors, this property deserves a look. Currently leased at $330 per week, this well-presented house has three bedrooms. Two have built-in wardrobes and the main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. There’s a separate lounge and rumpus room, and the family-meals zone is spacious and light-filled. The tiled kitchen has plenty of bench space, a walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, underbench oven and a tiled splashback. There’s a paved concrete courtyard out back, flanked by lawn. The house has gas ducted heating and a solar hot water system, and there’s a double garage attached.

Price: $725,000

With Hanging Rock the perfect backdrop, this country property on about 3.1 hectares combines a Victorian period influence with modern touches to offer a place that many property owners are searching for. If the commanding facade doesn’t hook you, then era accents such as deep skirts, intricate cornices and bay windows, surely will. Tessellated tiles line the entry hall and, to the left, is one of two living spaces. The carpeted lounge room is the first of four rooms to showcase the beautiful

surrounds through bay windows. A neutral colour palette and cast-iron fireplace with timber surround give this room a classic feel. From here, a separate dining area is perfect for special occasions. Timber doors at the end of the hall herald an open-plan layout with Australian hardwood floors underfoot. This casual dining zone and a beautiful timber kitchen are the hub of this great house. The kitchen has plenty of storage and

quality electric appliances, including a cooktop and wall oven. And with a wood fireplace and bay window in the family area, there’s oodles of light and warmth. There are four bedrooms, or three with a study, which has its own toilet. Three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; bay windows feature in the main bedroom and one other. The main also has an en suite. It’s this property’s gorgeous surrounds that steal the show.

With two verandahs, accessed from the kitchen and meals area, there’s the opportunity to bask in rural glory. The lake is clearly a highlight, and it provides plenty of water to ensure summer pickings of apples, nashis, apricots and plums from the property’s plantings. There’s a basement and wine storage area underneath the house, and a shed, aviary and double garage in the grounds. Eleanor Tabone 17 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 7, 2016

HARD WORK + DEDICATION =

100% customer satisfaction!

29 Balmoral Circuit, Sunbury Outstanding! His infe f ctious nature, is what drew fe us to Adam Sacco. We were fo f rtunate to meet him a fe f w years ago when we were thinking of selling, it didn’t eventuate until this year,r,r and thankfully he didn’t let us down. His warmth, attention to details, personal touch and ability to establish a good relationship between his clients is reflected in the wonderful nature he exhibits. Aft f er being on the market fo ft f r 3 days he was able to secure a buyer and we had an offe ff r that same day. Not only was he able to ffe negotiate our settlement term of 45 days, he exceeded our expectations in getting 22k above our listed price. No doubt we were ecstatic. If you’re looking fo f r that agent that goes above and beyond, who understands your needs and is dedicated with enthusiasm and profe f ssionalism fe then Adam Sacco is that person. 10 Sturt Street, Sunbury A1 Real Estate agent – If you want your house sold, Adam is your man! I used Rate My Agent to find the best Real Estate agent in my area and I wasn’t disappointed. Adam is an experienced real estate profe f ssional and really knows the fe local real estate market inside and out. His willingness to help in a pitch ensured my house presented nicely and was ready fo f r the market. It’s ’ those small touches that made all ’s the diffe ff rence. I wouldn’t recommend anyone ffe else to sell your home in this area.

2 Brett Court, Sunbury Thank you once again! Adam & his team were amazing to deal with, from the selling of our home to tips on our new purchase. They were there every step of the way, y y, offe ff ring advice and always happy to help! ffe Our house sold the day aft f er it hit the market ft and we got an amazing result! Thanks again Leading, we had heard great things & you certainly did not disappoint! 6 Thornton Avenue, Sunbury Selling property in Sunbury or surrounding? Adam Sacco and the Leading Real Estate team are all you need! From the very first time I met Adam, I knew he had integrity and his immense enthusiasm shone through. I trusted him immediately! Adam helped us prepare our home fo f r sale and his advice was invaluable. He has great local market knowledge, great communication skills and I’m sure a huge asset to the Real Estate community. Our home was on the market fo f r not quite 24 hours and it was sold. Adam kept us info f rmed from the beginning of the sales fo process and as soon as he had any news fo f r us he was straight on the phone. Anytime there was a need to email Adam a reply was sent almost immediately. Adam is such a positive person and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him without a smile on his fa f ce. Adam also has a f ntastic team backing him and I wish him fa and his team all the best. 3 Lambert Avenue, Sunbury Sale of 3 Lambert Avenue. Aft f er 19 years in this house, it was a big decision ft to part with it. Adam was very profe f ssional, fe

knew the market, and was always contactable and responsive to queries. Very easy to deal with and explained everything clearly as it had been 19 years since we had bought at sold. Adam and also To T by were fa f ntastic, did a great video, and came up with the goods in record time even though an initial buyer pulled out. We got pretty much exactly the price and conditions we were hoping fo f r. Overall a very good experience. Highly Recommend Leading Real Estate! 41 Border Boulevard, Sunbury The sale of my house. Aft f er a very distressing time 18 months ago to ft sell my house with an out of town agent, Adam was fully aware of what I had been through and was very understanding about my anxiety in trying to sell again. He and his team always provided updates to me with every enquiry and open house that happened. Whilst I didn’t get quite what I was hoping fo f r they negotiated the best price possible fo f r me. They always maintained their profe f ssionalism and were fe enthusiasm even when I was fe f eling flat. 4 Gruner Street, Sunbury So simple and stress free! If you want you’re selling experience to be profe f ssional and stress free, go to Adam and fe the Leading team! We have been amazed at the speed and efficiency of the whole process. Adam was always more than happy to answer any of our questions, nothing was problem. House was sold in a week!! There really is no need to look any further.

• Rumpus room / theatre room • Double garage under roof • Attractive family bathroom/good laundry • Double garage under roof

a good idea to wait until Spring to put their home on the market. Why?

Currently leased by excellent tenants and earning $330 p/week, why wait?

“Supply and Demand” applies to real estate just as much as to any other industry. Low supply high demand equals excellent price and response time.

Light, bright and airy home with f eatures include gas ducted heating, solar hot water system and excellent fencing.

High supply and average or low demand equals lower prices and a longer period of time waiting for an outcome.

Make a “wise move” and inspect a home to suit the young family, retiree of the “savvy” investor.

Winter is an excellent time to sell!

Inspection by appointment only. • Three large bedrooms, main with full ensuite and WIR • Bedroom 2 and 3 with built-inrobes • Formal lounge room • Very user-friendly kitchen with gas hot plates and WIP • Open plan family / meals area

Yes, the weather is cold and grey but smart buyers know that this is a time to determine if there are any leaks, does the home smell damp and are there any low lying boggy areas. On a cold and miserable day, a buyer will love walking into a warm and cosy home with the fire burning or the ducted heating on and all is well with the world.

SPORT Rebuilding Burras enter calmer waters After a tough start to the Riddell District Netball League season, Diggers Rest is hoping that everything now starts to click. With a new line-up, Burras playing coach Amy Carroll knew it would take time to settle into the season and that they would have to do it on the run. Five of the Burras’ first six games were against sides which made the finals last season. After seven games, they are 3-4. “We’re not going too badly, but we still haven’t done as well as I’d have liked,” Carroll said. “We’ve put out some good quarters of netball but not a whole four quarters. We can match it with the better sides at times. Hopefully, we can match it for whole games later in the season.” The Burras had their biggest win of the year on Saturday when they beat Woodend-Hesket

67-37, Carroll leading the way with 47 goals. “We’ve only played six games together, so we knew it would take some time,” she said before Saturday’s contest. Carroll said the side’s aim was to make finals, but she was realistic about where they sat despite a lot of off season talk that Diggers Rest would be a big improver. “It’s unrealistic to say at this stage that we’re a way better side than in the past couple of years,” she said. “Still, we may be a five-goal better side. We’re hoping to make finals this season, but it’s about building for the next couple of seasons when we’ll be stronger.” After playing a lot of the stronger sides to start the season, the Burras need to win against lower-placed teams in the next few weeks.

But they will be without Jena Baboth and Tayla Behan for about six weeks of this period. “It will be quite difficult against those sides and we’re not underestimating them,” Carroll said. “We’ll go hard and try to win those games by big margins. We have Georgia [Vicendese] and Alicija [Marco-Rawlings] – who have been fantastic in B-grade and only just missed out on our A-grade side – to come into the seniors.” In other weekend results, Macedon led at every break to beat Lancefield; Melton Centrals shot away in the final quarter to defeat Romsey; Wallan was too good for Sunbury Kangaroos; and Rupertswood beat Broadford. Tara Murray

Reshuffle in the kennel By Tara Murray Gisborne has not yet shown the consistency its coaches are looking for this year. The Bulldogs have started slowly, despite featuring in the finals for the past three Bendigo Netball League seasons. Wins had been split for the first six games, but the side fell behind the ledger on Saturday after a disappointing loss to Maryborough. Entering the round with only a game between them on the ladder, the Magpies took the points 46-27. It pegged the Bulldogs to fifth spot. Speaking before the game, Bulldogs’ co-coach Robyn Baker was hopeful her side had started to find some form after its slow beginning. “We’ve had a few girls out and a few new girls in the side, which has made it tricky” Baker said. “The group is putting a lot in at training and starting to work well together. “Hopefully, we’re nearly back at full strength.” Baker said Maddy Gay, who crossed from Riddell District Netball League side Rupertswood, had settled well into the Bulldogs midcourt while Rachel McKenzie was having an impact in goals. “Maddy is playing Victorian Netball League (VNL) and has settled in really well, getting to know the team, while Rachel has come across from Kangaroo Flat and is also settling in.” The arrival of McKenzie has freed Madeline Stewart to move out of goals into her preferred position in defence. Stewart plays in defence for Melbourne University Storm in the VNL and also played at the defensive end for Victoria in the under-21 national titles earlier this year. She’s one of the Bulldogs players who have missed games due to VNL commitments. “Maddy is enjoying the role back in defence, mainly goal defence,” Baker said. Baker, who’s in her first year of coaching with Rebecca Bridgman, said she felt good about the coaching partnership. The side, she added, was keen to make an impact in finals after the disappointment of just missing the grand final last year. “It’s a really good group of girls,” Baker said. “We need to keep on putting wins on the board and work on our strengths. “We’re looking forward to having a full team with the rotations working. The girls have the skills and talent, and it’s about putting it all together.” In another week match, Kyneton went down 60-45 to Golden Square to be sixth on the ladder, behind the Bulldogs on percentage only. Rachel McKenzie has settled in at Gisborne.

Nathan Baker scored 12 points and had 11 rebounds on Saturday night. (Shawn Smits)

Dragon pair lost in Jets’ slipstream Camberwell Dragons’ fire was extinguished not once but twice by Sunbury Jets in Big V division 1 at the weekend. Both the Jets’ men’s and women’s sides took on the Dragons and, as expected, both had big wins. The men did battle first at Boardman Reserve on Saturday night, with the Jets making the better start against the bottom side. And with a 16-point lead at the main break, Jets’ coach Andrew Summerville was able to give some of his starters a rest in the second half. The Jets were unable to increase their lead in the second half but still went on to win 78-62. Ish Sanders top-scored for the Jets with 21 points, while Mitchell Newton chipped in with 18 and pulled down 11 rebounds. Nathan Baker was the other player in double figures, grabbing 12 points and 11 rebounds. The win moved the Jets back into the top eight, with a 50 per cent win record after 14 matches. On Sunday, the Jets’ women travelled to Camberwell and continued their unbeaten start to the season, with a 21point drubbing of the Dragons. The Jets started the slower of the two sides and found themselves trailing by a point at quarter-time. They stepped it up after the break and were up five points at half-time. The lead increased to 16 in the third quarter before the Jets went on to win 74-53. Monique Stevens top-scored for the Jets with 24 points, while Courtney Duever and Emma Mahady also reached double figures. With 11 wins from 11 matches, the Jets now sit two games clear of Geelong Supercats on top of the ladder with a game in hand. In men’s youth league division 1, the Jets defeated Camberwell 85-71. The women’s youth league side lost 75-61 to Mornington Breakers. All teams have this weekend off as Big V hosts its first origin contest. City and Country men’s and women’s sides will do battle in Shepparton. The Jets’ Mitchell Newton is part of the metro team, while Josh Grabham will represent Country. Tara Murray

Thomas says he’s hopeful the Gisborne squad can add to the list of state and national champions the club has boasted in previous years. “First, second and third from the selections go on to represent Victoria,” the instructor said. “There’s been more than 35 national champions and more than 50 state champs from Gisborne since I started out here in 2001.”

Sunbury Lions have suffered their second straight loss in Ballarat Netball League. A slow start cost the Lions dearly against Sebastopol, and they trailed by 10 goals at the first break and never recovered, eventually losing 52-34. Prue Stanley and Rebecca Anstey, who were both playing their 50th games for the club, were named the Lions’ best, along with Sarah Davies. Amy Starzer in her first game for the club, shot 20 goals. The Lions are fourth on the ladder.

Faith in youth starts to pay dividends for Redbacks Romsey’s faith in youth and local talent is starting to show through with a massive win over Melton Centrals in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday. After going close to Broadford and Rupertswood in recent weeks, the Redbacks overcame a slow start against Centrals to win 18.14 (122)-9.6 (60) at Arnolds Creek Reserve. Redbacks coach Andrew Bubb said his side was second to the ball early in the match and Centrals led by nine points at quarter-time. But once the Redbacks got going in the second quarter, they seized control. “We’ve been building to it and getting better every week,” Bubb said. “We were slow starters yesterday and we went over the top of them.

“It’s a big ground and there was lots of space to kick to and we used that to our advantage. “They didn’t kick a goal in the second and third quarters.” Phil Romeril was named best on ground for closing down Rex Hickman, while Matthew Burkett and Marc Young were also among the best. Ben Way kicked four for the winners. The win is the Redbacks’ second for the season but the first they’ve won on the field; they lost to Sunbury Kangaroos in round 1 but were awarded the four points because of an administrative error by the Kangaroos. Bubb feels there are plenty of good signs for the Redbacks.

“Out of the guys who played against Melton, all but three live locally,” he said. “After the Broadford game we did a review and found that 16 players who have played senior football this year have come through the juniors. “And we’ve had six under-18s play seniors.” He said Jackson Mills and Ayden Tessari had thrived while taking on leadership roles, while a number of young guys were taking their opportunities to play senior football. “Harrison Notman and Aaron Paterson played in last year’s preliminary final before missing out on the grand final,” Bubb said. “Jack Jedwab is still an under-18s player but has played every senior game.”

Even though there are no matches this weekend because of the Queen’s Birthday holiday, Bubb said his team would continue to train. “With so many new faces in the side there have been a lot of structures and set-ups to learn,” Bubb said. “We want to build on what we did on Saturday.” In other weekend results, Diggers Rest smashed Woodend-Hesket, Wallan shocked Sunbury Kangaroos, Riddell inflicted more pain on Rockbank, Broadford defeated Rupertswood and Macedon remained undefeated after beating Lancefield.

Dogs get to sing at last By Tara Murray Gisborne belted out the club song with gusto on Saturday as they tasted success in the Bendigo Football League for the first time in 2016. The Bulldogs entered the match against Maryborough, another winless side, with some confidence. And after showing glimpses of what they could do in the first six rounds, the Bulldogs put it all together to easily account for the Magpies, 13.23 (101)-7.11 (53). For Bulldogs coach Brad Spear there was a sense of relief. “It’s been a long time coming and it was good to hear the boys sing the song,” Spear said. “There was some confidence going in but not the expectation that we would win. “We’ve been playing reasonable football and we knew that if we kept doing what we’d been doing we’d have a chance.” There was only one scoring shot’s difference

between the two sides in the first quarter with the Magpies struggling with accuracy in front of goal. The middle two quarters were all Gisborne as it restricted the Magpies to just 2.3 in the two quarters while kicking 4.11. The Bulldogs added the finishing touches in the final quarter for a strong win. Spear said his side’s ability to adjust to the wet conditions quicker than the opposition played a big part in the game. “It was the first time we’ve played in the rain this season. We hadn’t even trained in the wet. “Both sides struggled in front of goal with the wet ball, but we were cleaner and adjusted quicker.” Gisborne skipper Jarrad Lynch was best on ground with his five goals. “We took a bit a pressure off him and moved him into the forward line to see how he went,” Spear said.

“He had a terrific game and it might be that we’ll see how we’re going and then decide where he’ll play.” Spear was also impressed with the defensive group. “Our defence has been our strength all year despite all the pressure they’ve been under,” he said. “They stood tall and gave our forwards the chance to have opportunities in front of goal.” The Bulldogs now face Castlemaine, which is seventh on the ladder with a 3-4 record. “We have to keep working hard and stick to what we’ve been doing all year,” Spear said. “If we remain competitive and get the small things right, the scoreboard will take care of itself.” Elsewhere, Kyneton fell short against ladder leader Golden Square. The Tigers were within four goals at the last break but were held scoreless in the final term to lose 16.12 (108)-8.10 (58).

Calder Cannon Muhammad Saad kicked seven goals to lead his side to its third win of the TAC Cup season. As has been the case so many times this year, against Oakleigh, the Cannons trailed at half-time. Largely by virtue of keeping the Chargers scoreless in the third quarter, the Cannons took a two-point lead into the final break. And with their noses in front, the Cannons didn’t give up the lead in the final quarter for a second successive week, winning 9.16 (70)-9.7 (61) at RAMS Arena. Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said the club always knew what Saad could do with the ball, but it was his defensive efforts that had taken his game to the next level. He has been named among the Cannons’ best players in the past three rounds. “He does the miracle things,” Johnston said. “His pace is really good and he can use the ball when he has it. We spoke to him about his defensive efforts and they have improved massively.” Johnston saw the win as more of a four-quarter effort than had been the case in many of the Cannons’ previous matches. “They took advantage of the opportunities early,” he said. “We had more inside-50s and were winning plenty of ball. We were still in the game at halftime. The past few weeks we had been thereabouts. Last week I didn’t think we deserved to win, this week we did.” While Saad was the star up forward, at the other end Zachary Guthrie continued his sensational start to the season. “He has grown in stature every week and right now will be up there in our best and fairest,” Johnston said. “They had one player who kicked three goals in the first 20 minutes. You turn to your best defender to stop them, and that’s Zach. He could play on the tall players, but now he’s defending the smalls. Zach wasn’t on the radar the past two years … now he is.” The win against Oakleigh capped off a good week for the Cannons, with Karl Brown and Hayden Blythe named in the Vic Metro squad for the national championships now under way. Brown will be a key member of Metro’s forward line, while a switch from the wing to half-back has led to Blythe being rewarded by the selectors. “We knew he could play on the wing, but now we’re learning he can play off half-back,” Johnston said.
