OP SHOP OUT? Future site of Portarlington op shop remains up in the air as it awaits a council decision on the extension of its rotunda lease

BY ALISON MARTIN PORTARLINGTON and District Hospital Auxiliary’s op shop is awaiting a City of Greater Geelong decision on whether its home will remain at the historic rotunda. The shop, which raises $30,000 a year, has been located under the Portarlington icon for more than three decades. Renovations have forced the shop to relocate, with no word being given by CoGG on whether the current lease will be extended. Bellarine Community Health chief executive, John Fendyk, said the op shop had been operating from its prime position at the Portarlington rotunda for more than 35 years. He said the current BCH lease on the rotunda ended on August 30 next year but the health service’s Portarlington auxiliary had not been notified when the op shop could reopen in the rotunda. “We have applied to City of Greater Geelong for a five-year extension on the lease, but we have not heard if it will be approved,” Fendyk said. He said the op shop had relocated to a garage on the Bellarine Community Health site, between Newcombe and Fenwick streets, while the rotunda was being restored, but it was important the op shop returned to the prominent location. “It raises a lot of funds for the community and all the money stays in Portarlington,” Fendyk said.

Op shop co-ordinator, Fran Connors, said the shop was staffed by about 20 volunteers and opened on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year, providing pre-loved clothing and goods for the community. However, she said during school holidays, when the town’s population expanded dramatically and visitors had time to wander the small retail centre, the op shop opened five days a week. Connors said money raised through the op shop had funded many community items over the years, with some of the recent purchases including a podiatrist’s chair for BCH and a Wii game and television for the men’s group at the centre. “The money goes to a lot of important things and the rotunda is a focal point in Portarlington, so we always had people coming in,” Connors said. “It’s much quieter since we moved but we expected that because people aren’t going past all the time and they don’t know where we’ve gone since we left the rotunda.” Portarlington’s rotunda restoration will be funded by City of Greater Geelong and Regional Development Victoria as part of a $550,000 project to create a new town square and complete major streetscape works. Rotunda works will correct a number of structural problems with the Portarlington icon and include the replacement of flooring materials, underpinnings and other supports.

PUBLIC meetings have been scheduled in Queenscliff and Hawthorn to present the borough’s 2010-2011 council business plan and budget. The first meeting is scheduled for 7pm, Monday, May 10 in the borough town hall, 50 Learmonth Street, Queenscliff. The second meeting is scheduled for 7.30pm, Thursday, May 13 in the mayor’s room at the Hawthorn Town Hall, 358-360 Burwood Road. All residents and ratepayers are invited to attend this important presentation.

‘Playspace’ opening and Maritime Festival

On Saturday, March 20, Darren Cheeseman, MP, officially opened the Queenscliff Community Playspace in Princess Park. This was the culmination of many years of planning and associated work by our playground committee, which was supported financially by a generous donation of $40,000 by the Queenscliff Community Market Committee, and $6,000 from the Lions and Rotary clubs. The final seal of approval for the project was given by the dozens of kids that enjoyed their first experience of this playspace followed by a number of beach and park activities including face painting, camel rides, kite flying, Benito’s treasure hunt and a sausage sizzle presented by more hard working volunteers. At the end of the day I attended the Queenscliffe Maritime Festival sailing regatta presentations where it was my honour to present the traditional white sailor’s jumper to the winning skipper, Jock Lee, sailing Christabelle, a locally built couta boat crafted by Ray Lawrence.

Volunteers Week

As volunteering is a key part of the fabric of Queenscliffe we will hold the borough’s volunteers celebration on Tuesday, May 11 from 5.30 to 7.30pm. The venue is yet to be finalised. If you know any volunteer person or people that you would like recognised with an invitation to this borough event please contact Leanne Stein at the borough office.

Volunteers at Queenscliff Seafood Feast

Many of our local volunteers also contributed the success of this annual event – from coordinating parking, serving patrons and generally helping the many thousands of visitors enjoy their Easter visit to Queenscliffe. The event last year raised a total of over $117,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital, Good Friday Appeal and it is hoped this year’s event can raise even more.

Community cabinet

On March 15, CEO Lenny Jenner and I met with the Victorian Premier and members of the State Cabinet when they visited the Bellarine Peninsula. We had the opportunity to discuss the future use and management of VicTrack land in Queenscliff, which is subject to a lease agreement with the Borough of Queenscliffe and covers the Senior Citizens Centre, Sea Scouts Hall and a public toilet convenience for recreational fishers and boat users occupy the respective allotments. We advocated to have the VicTrack land transferred to Department of Sustainability controlled Crown Land and then allocated to the Borough of Queenscliffe Council as committee of management. The implications of the recent Tourism

Infrastructure Development Study for the Borough, which identified the lack of tourist accommodation as a key challenge, both now and into the future was also discussed. We highlighted that Shortland’s Bluff represents a terrific opportunity to develop up to 10 high quality eco-friendly accommodation units in one of the most majestic locations in Victoria. The Borough of Queenscliff is seeking State Government investment to support this proposal. We also asked the minister to review the impact of DSE Crown Land leases enforced on volunteer sporting clubs which include many unacceptable clauses that result in financial demands that, in time, will “kill� clubs on Crown Land. We indicated that this is likely to have an adverse affect on community health and well being, particularly in rural areas which experience difficulties in meeting current financial expenditure levels. The generous grants provided by the Sports Minister to sporting clubs via council end up returning to government through the escalating financial clauses in the DSE Crown Land leases. The State Government was also made aware that council is grappling with the potential impact of sea level rise and the broad strategic approach and direction to be taken in response concerning decisions on new developments. We highlighted our immediate concerns including: clarifying referral responsibility, balancing risk and liability, ensuring equitable treatment, integrating current decisions with longer term adaptation and mitigation strategies, and maintaining property values and community cohesiveness.

Residents oppose scheme BY ALISON MARTIN THIRTY Clifton Springs residents met last week to discuss concerns over a $1.4million drainage special charge scheme, and are rallying to oppose it. Drysdale and Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA) has thrown its support behind the residents of the Central Road area who have unanimously voted against the controversial scheme. DCSCA secretary, Patrick Hughes, said he and association president, Doug Carson, attended the meeting and would continue to circulate a petition opposing the scheme. He said City of Greater Geelong and Melbourne-based retirement village operators, Pinnacle Living, had agreed to share the estimated $1,492,827 cost of a new main drain required for the village to go ahead. “However, CoGG expects local landowners to pay for it,� Hughes said. “Residents believe that Pinnacle

Living should pay the cost of the drain, as only they would benefit financially from it.� The proposed retirement village is in Central Road, Clifton Springs, and the new drain will serve an area bounded by Jetty Road, Ada Street, Thomas Street and Central Road in Clifton Springs and Drysdale. Hughes said owners of the 39 blocks to be served by the drain face bills depending on their block size, with most of them facing a charge of between $3,000 and $256,888. “CoGG estimates that the project will cost $1,492,827, but states that the true cost will be unknown until work is completed,� he said. “Pinnacle Living applied several years ago to the council for permission to build a retirement village on the property at 101 Central Road, but were told that this would require a new main drain to be built. “Subsequently, council has rezoned some of the properties in the surrounding area to ‘R1’ (high density residential)

3

and says that the remainder are ‘in the process of being rezoned’ to R1. “This rezoning – together with the new drain – will enable land owners in the area to sub-divide their land and sell it if they wish.� Without the drain, properties cannot be sub-divided, and CoGG has proposed the special charge because each landowner served by the drain could profit from selling their land. However, Hughes said there was no evidence sale of any land would cover the proposed special charge or increase the price of their land and many landowners did not intend to sell-off part or all of their land. Property owners affected by the special charge have until 5pm on Monday, April 26 to support or object to the proposed special charge, in writing, to the City of Greater Geelong, Engineering Design Unit, PO Box 104, Geelong, Vic 3220. City of Greater Geelong will decide the matter on or after June 8.

Bank’s birthday bash WITH more than 700 accounts opened and $15,000 returned to community groups in donations, Leopold Community Bank is planning a big celebration. This Saturday the bank’s board of community directors, branch staff and local supporters will celebrate 12 months of business with a birthday party at the Gateway Plaza branch from 10am to 12pm. The celebrations will include face painting, jumping castle, petting zoo, temporary tattoos, magician, sausage sizzle, tea and coffee, birthday cake and a free entry to win a bike. This week’s birthday, follows the success of the branch’s first community Easter Egg Hunt at Leopold Memorial Park on Good Friday. Bank chair and City of Greater Geelong councillor, Rod Macdonald, said the local board of directors welcomed the passing of the first year of trading, a year which has been a steep learning curve. “We thought there was a lot of work to be done to get the branch open. That workload has not lessened since the doors of the branch opened and local volunteer directors continue to work hard to ensure our branch’s success,� he said. It has also been a busy 12 months for branch manager, Chris Stepins, and his seven staff members, six of whom live in Leopold. “Due to the exceptional support we have received from the local community we have been able to support local organisations with sponsorship and donations of $15,000,� he said. “It really is great to see the same faces, and many new ones, coming through the door each week to do their banking. “Twelve months ago, we promised that we would deliver a banking service that the people of Leopold expected, and deserved, and I am confident that we have achieved that goal. “The establishment of our community bank branch really was a community achievement and we would like to share this first year milestone with everyone in the community.� For further information about Leopold Community Bank’s birthday celebrations on Saturday, contact the bank on 5250 1057.

Three decade appeal MANNERIM CFA celebrated 30 years of collecting money for the Royal Children’s Hospital appeal on Good Friday, raising more than $6,500. Appeal co-coordinators, Michael and Stephen Beasley, said they remember the brigade’s first collection day back in 1980. “They held a bed sheet with two other brigade members at the Banks Road and Bellarine Highway intersection, to allow motorists to throw money in on their way past,� Michael said. “We raised about $200 dollars that day. Yesterday, 30 years on, the brigade is raising thousands of dollars, which is an absolutely fantastic effort by all the volunteers. “If not for the generosity from the communities of Mannerim, Marcus Hill, Swan Bay, Point Lonsdale and the holiday makers who visit the Bellarine Peninsula, our appeal efforts would be fruitless.�

Drysdale Rotary Club had sold more than 10 paintings within 90 minutes of opening the door of its annual Easter Art Show. Drysdale Rotary Club president, Stuart Barker, and Art Show chair Mercedes Drummond said the show had been a huge success thanks to the local artists who had donated paintings for raffle prizes, assisted with hanging entries and supported the show. Barker and Drummond are pictured with talented watercolourist, Richard Jones’ winning entry.

THE VICTORIAN Police Bands are coming to Portarlington to assist the Bellarine Police Community Support Register with fundraising. Reigster committee chair, Ann Nichol, said the concert sold out each year and community members were being urged to buy tickets now. “This is your opportunity to support the Bellarine Police Community Support Register and enjoy a fantastically entertaining concert,� she said. “The Police Showband is a dynamic vibrant group that performs jazz, swing, pop and show stoppers from your favourite musicals.

PORTARLINGTON’S old BP petrol station site, at the Newcombe Street entrance, looks set to sit in a dilapidated state for an extended period following objections to a proposed development. City of Greater Geelong advertised the building permit application during

February and March and received eight objections to the proposal. The building application involved the multi-storey construction of 13 units and ground floor cafĂŠ on the corner of Newcombe and Sproat streets.

The application seeks to waiver car parking and loading zone requirements. A CoGG spokesperson confirmed the eight objections would be heard by a Development Hearings Panel at a date to be set, however, the hearing will not be held until after April.

Six decades of camping bliss BY ALISON MARTIN

FISHING and the relaxed atmosphere at Portarlington has been luring a Bundoora family to the bayside town for 60 years. For six decades – their entire married life – Dominic and Mavis Ziino have holidayed at Portarlington and they agree, there is no reason to

change now. The newlyweds were brought to Portarlington by friends and Dominic, or ‘Nin’ as he is known, “fell in love with the place�. Mavis said the annual holiday had started as a week-long vacation each year at Christmas, because that was the only time Nin had away from work.

“Then he would have longer holidays and we would spend four weeks, but since my husband retired (17 years ago) we have been coming down the week before Christmas and staying until April,� she said. Nin said their camping had started in the back of a panel van parked where Parks Hall now stands, then in a tent near the pier and after years of moving around the camping ground they found their ‘permanent’ place at Portarlington Holiday Resort in a caravan with amenities, near the boat ramp. But wherever they have been, Nin has fished. “I wake up every morning and if the weather looks good I go fishing,� he said. Last week, he and a fishing buddy caught a number of whiting, flathead, garfish, salmon and trevally during a nine-hour session on the water. However, Nin and the boats he has owned over

the years have also saved lives and been involved with numerous rescues, including a mussel farmer who decided to try to swim to shore after his own boat broke down. “We’ve had plenty of adventures, helped with police rescues, breakdowns and I even found a drowned man’s body, once,� he said. However, while Mavis enjoys eating the fish, particularly whiting, she has opted to stay on land. “I never go near the water, I can’t swim so I don’t go to the beach,� she said. “I used to do a lot of knitting but I have arthritis now so I read; it’s relaxing down here.� The Ziino’s have raised two children on holidays at Portarlington and their daughter, who has the caravan next door, has also brought her three children to the town each year. “Portarlington is a huge part of our lives,� Mavis said.

Giant charity auction THE LIONS Club of Portarlington/Drysdale’s Giant Charity Auction will be held this Sunday at the Portarlington Football Club’s second oval. The majority of proceeds will go to local charities and causes and six auctioneers from Portarlington and Drysdale real estate agents will be taking bids and selling everything they can. Items can be provided to Lions for sale on a commission basis, with or without reserved prices, or donated for sale.

No mattresses, livestock, tyres or junk will be accepted, but electrical goods in working condition can be provided as long as they are tagged ‘not tested’. Items will need to be taken to the site no later than 9am on the day of the auction and inspections will start from 9am, prior to the 11am auction. Donated items can be picked up by Lions members and more information is available by contacting Robert Wilson-Browne on 5259 3113 or Gary Doolan on 5251 1380.

Mavis, 80, and ‘Nin’, 82, have been holidaying in Portarlington for 60 years.

Easter on the Bellarine

Tuesday 6 April 2010

coast community environment

Derek and Kathryn enjoy the superb main course at Queenscliff’s Charity Restaurant on the end of the town’s historic pier.

Leopold artist Bruno Callori organised the hanging of more than 430 paintings entered in the Drysdale Rotary Club Art Show and donated his time and talent to demonstrate during the show. Callori also enticed visitors to buy 10 raffle tickets by offering an original painting, with money raised supporting Geelong Hospital’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre.

Queenscliff’s Nichol Davison, 3, was enjoying the Easter festivities at the Seafood Feast on Good Friday.

A highlight of the Queenscliff Seafood Feast was the performance of Sunrise Circus – who thrilled the crowd of all ages with their spectacular show.

Licence fee hikes hit home SERIOUS ramifications of the drastic hikes in liquor licence fees are starting to be seen with a shattering reduction of Geelong winery participants in one of Victoria’s premier wine events, the Federation Square Victorian Wine Showcase. The Victorian Wine Showcase is a major annual state government initiative designed specifically to highlight the calibre and diversity of this state’s wines to the Victorian community and Australian tourism market. The event is staged over several months with each Victorian wine region taking the stage for public tastings and judging over two nights each month. The event culminates in an overall awards ceremony which platforms the best wines in Victoria. The Geelong Winegrowers Association (GWA) has blamed the state government for the reduction in participants, saying it was a direct and dire ramification of the liquor licence fee hikes introduced in January.

The fee increases have seen a vigneron’s licence increase by more than 100 per cent, a Limited Renewable Licence increase by 698 per cent and a Temporary Liquor Licence (to attend one off events) increase by more than 300 per cent. “Last year 23 Geelong region wineries participated in the Federation Square Victorian Wine Showcase, this year only 13 have chosen to be involved,” said Lyndsay Sharp, president of the GWA. Sharp said that when it came to answering calls for reconsideration and reform to the new laws, the state government continued to hide behind a smoke screen of unrelated, inner urban violence statistics. “The government’s generic response that the liquor industry should cover its own administration, regulatory and policing costs is nonsense,” she said. “It is penalising winegrowers, small businesses, charities and communities for specific costs relating to emergency service resources called upon to deal with incidents of late night CBD violence.”

Moss makes an impact THE REGARD with which Moss Industry Florist is held was underlined at last month’s Melbourne Flower and Garden Show. The Barwon Heads-based business was one of just 10 florists chosen to exhibit at the international show. Despite having been in business for just four years, Moss Industry has already built up a strong clientele base with its imaginative and unique arrangements. The business, however, is a lot more than just flowers. “We also do homewares, and are quite well known for them, and we also make a lot of sculptural pieces – all by hand,” said Moss Industry’s Alex O’Halloran. “Everything we do is by hand and we have been fortunate enough to build up a good name through our work, but also through word of mouth.” As part of the display at the show, head wedding florist, Danielle Fraser, worked for more than two months to design and make sculptures that symbolised the beauty of nature. “The display at the show was actually bigger than our shop,” O’Halloran said. “It took us three days to set up and the exposure we received was great and it was a real success. “We have already been invited back for next year.” While the business deals in homewares and hand-crafted sculptures, wedding flowers, arrangements and bridal bouquets are a speciality.

“We do a huge amount of weddings,” O’Halloran said. “The majority of our clientele comes from Melbourne, with everyone coming down to get married on the beach.” A great marketing tool for the business has also been its online blog, which is an up-todate snapshot of what is happening within the company. “I look after the blog and try and keep clients up to date with what we are doing and it enables brides to see what we have done if they can’t make it to us,” O’Halloran said. Moss Industry Florist is located at 3/53 Hitchcock Avenue, Barwon Heads. For more information, visit www.mossindustryflorist. com.au

Grunwald puts Torquay house on the market

Attention REAL

RENOWNED blues and roots performer, Ash Grunwald, has put his Torquay house on the market. Grunwald, who played at The Rose on the weekend to promote the release of his new live album, Live at the Fly By Night, is currently building a house at Byron Bay on the New South Wales north coast. The property – at 2 Wattle Court – is on the market through Hocking Stuart, and will go to auction on May 1 with a price guide of between $550,000 and $575,000. The house enables the buyer to enjoy rustic bush character in a double story cottage with a uniquely appealing aura. With large accommodation and a versatile floorplan encompassing four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property enjoys a creative edge. The kitchen and living areas embrace a sunny, northerly aspect which overlooks the backyard, while there is also a large second living area. Hocking Stuart’s Shaun O’Callaghan said he expected the property to be snapped up – continuing the strong recent performance of the local market. “It is a lovely property and it will create a lot of interest,� he said. “We have been particularly busy and properties are continuing to sell well. “I think there has definitely been a rebound in the market. It has been interesting to hear the comments from people in the street saying they have seen more and more sold stickers around town. “It has been really good from our point of view

Supply shortage drives growth THE RECENT release of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) December quarter dwelling commencement figures confirms that the supply shortage has been the prime factor driving price growth and represents the biggest threat to affordability over the next five years. In the past five years Melbourne’s rate of population growth has increased by 84 per cent and, according to the ABS, the number of dwelling commencements in Victoria has increased by 22.4 per cent (seasonally adjusted). The significant increase in the number of dwellings commenced is very welcome – and if it continues for the next few quarters it will have a beneficial impact on affordability and prices. The release of the REIV Annual Property Update for 2009 shows that as the population has increased, so have house prices. The median price of a house in Melbourne in 2009 was $465,000. Since 2006 the Melbourne median house price has grown by 23 per cent, compared to four per cent for the period between 2003 and 2006. The supply shortage became particularly protracted last year, as the improving economy brought life back into the market. As a result, six of the top 10 growth suburbs for the year had a median below half a million: Dallas, Broadmeadows, Sunshine North, Highton and Croydon North. In regional Victoria the median price of a house increased by seven per cent from $258,000 in 2008 to $276,000. Within key regional centres the strongest growth in prices was found in Bell Post Hill, Highton and Hamlyn Heights in Greater Geelong, in Alfredton and Sebastopol in Ballarat, and in Strathdale in Greater Bendigo. As the REIV Annual Property Update compares all sales in 2009 with all sales in 2008, it does not show the significant changes in demand towards the end of 2009, as is evident in the REIV December Property Update, which is available at www.reiv.com.au

Industry Info

Assurity for builders LAST week’s announcement by state finance minister, Tim Holding, on changes to the home owners warranty arrangements in Victoria sends a reassuring message to builders concerned about the withdrawal of Vero from the home owners warranty market. Legislation in Victoria requires builders to take out home owners warranty policies in favour of their clients before commencing any residential building work above $12,000. The policy covers a range of prescribed events, including the completion of work if the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent. Vero’s announcement last month that it would withdraw from the home owners warranty underwriting market from July 1 this year comes after the recent withdrawal of CGU and Lumley late last year. Under the new arrangements announced, the Victorian government will step in to underwrite all home owner warranty policies across Victoria through the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) with the transition commencing from last week. HIA Victorian executive director, Gil King, welcomed the

announcement, adding that the changes are intended to provide stability and certainty for builders and consumers alike. “Builders across Victoria have been somewhat uneasy about the future of the home warranty scheme and possible roadblocks constraining building activity since Vero’s announcement,� King said. “And while today’s announcement provides a clear signpost for the industry, our attention is now squarely on the transitional arrangements.� Existing HIA Insurance Service clients will be contacted to facilitate the transition to the new insurance scheme over the next few months and there is no need for them to do anything at this stage. It is ‘business as usual’. “Builders need ready access to policies on a daily basis and the current distribution arrangements provide that,� King said. “We wholeheartedly support the government’s announcement that the VMIA will continue to use current brokers to minimise disruption to the building industry.� It is important that the new scheme does not unintentionally penalise good builders who operate sound and

HIA Victorian executive director, Gil King.

well capitalised businesses. “We must not lose sight of the purpose of the scheme. Consumer protection is not enhanced by exposing consumers to unsustainable businesses,� said King. “The current rating of builders’ risk provides a necessary safeguard and rewards builders who operate good businesses – enhancing competition

and facilitating cost savings for consumers. “With Victorian population growth leading the country, the next 12-18 months will be a critical time for residential building. “It is now more important than ever for the state government to work constructively with builders to reduce regulatory bottlenecks and facilitate a ‘business as usual’ transition into the new home warranty arrangements.� It is also important that the Victorian government works with industry to improve the existing domestic building dispute resolution process. “The current dispute resolution system is confusing and does not properly support the home warranty insurance scheme, regardless of who runs it,� King said. “Builders do not trust the dispute process and it does not provide adequate protection or certainty for homeowners. “It continues to be a total failure. “We are keen to work constructively with the Victorian government to facilitate a smooth transition to the new insurance scheme and to ensure it is fair and equitable.�

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 The fact that the vessel was in danger was first noticed by a fisherman named Felix Rosser, at about 11 o’clock in the night. He had just been attending to some lobster pots, in Zeally Bay, and when returning home to supper, saw the out-line of a dark mass close up to the shore. He at once surmised that it was a ship, which in some way got out of her course, and said to his wife “ Why here’s a vessel in where she ought not to be� He had scarcely uttered the words when a torch light flashed across the angry sea, then he observed a red light shining at the mast-head of the vessel. He could not immediately do anything in response to the signals of distress that continued to be exhibited, but at 2am that morning, taking advantage of an interval of calm, put off in his fishing boat and rowed to within 300 yards of the wreck. Owing to the surf about the vessel, he could not approach further, but called out to those on board informing them of their position. He also pointed out the impossibility of anything being done to get away from the wreck, until the morning.

Stylish and affordable

METRICON has welcomed 2010 by opening its hugely anticipated first display centre featuring the Allegra range home designs. With home affordability a big focus this year, Metricon’s Allegra range is the breakthrough in affordable housing Victoria has been waiting for. Metricon continues to make the dream of home ownership a reality by offering a range of inspiring single storey homes jam packed with features, but without the huge price tag.

The Allegra range comprises 10 home designs to suit varying block widths and lifestyle choices. Metricon’s general manager – regional west, Phil Barrett, suggests that the housing shortage across Australia’s major cities is not going to be solved anytime soon. “At Metricon, we feel the shortage in housing is going to put further strain on the rental market,”

he said. “The Allegra range is a huge step forward for anyone on a budget or wanting to own their first home. “With prices starting from less than $128,000, these stylish homes really do live up to the promise of ‘style made simple’. “The range has been developed to offer ‘everything you need, and nothing you don’t’, making it more affordable than ever to own your own home. “The Allegra range offers great value without compromising on quality and design. Our high standards extend to our professional new home consultants who are customer focused and dedicated to helping home buyers realise their dreams. “In fact, our point of difference – according to feedback from people who’ve built with us – is our personalised attention and being able to deliver the ultimate building experience. “Our newest display centre in Manor Lakes (near Werribee) showcases two new designs from the Allegra range – the Lancaster 25 and Delta 22. “The Lancaster offers an unexpected, yet very practical layout for the growing family. This design encompasses a spacious open plan family, dining and kitchen area and also has a delightful separate sitting room. “The Delta is a remarkable four-bedroom home with two separate living areas designed to suit a narrower 12.5-metre allotment. Both

The hunt is over for luxurious & affordable designer homes.

Little delivers a lot in building AND DESIGN

TORQUAY building company Little Constructions ticks all the boxes when it comes to creating new homes and renovations that are unique, environmentally-friendly and stress-free. Mark Little prides himself on maintaining a hands-on presence in every project – from initial quotes and contracts through to project management and pulling on a nail bag when required, Little understands the importance of being involved every step of the way.

surfcoasttimes.com.au

“From day one it is critical to ensure all parties are headed in the same direction,” said Little, who stays in weekly – and often daily – contact with his clients. “Contrary to popular belief, there are constant decisions to be made throughout the construction process and our clients appreciate being kept up to date.” At the start of each project, Little conducts a site meeting with the client and a draftsperson to ensure the individuality of the design and to establish a passive solar orientation.

“Most people now understand the environmental and economic value of passive solar buildings and our clients are always pleased to know Little Constructions incorporates it into every design,” he said. Little is a fully-accredited and award-winning builder with more than 15 years’ industry experience and many happy clients across the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong.

Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values. As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Wednesday 7 April 2010 until Friday 30 April 2010. Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Connewarre. 1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parishes are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas. Operational details may be obtained from Stuart Willsher by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

A new coastal incentive program known as CoastalTender has been funded by the Australian Government to implement long term protection and enhancement of the coastline within the Corangamite region. This new funding will support land managers in the management and conservation of native vegetation and habitat on properties (>1ha) along the Corangamite coastline, including revegetation with indigenous species. The project will cover the entire coastline for the Corangamite region, as well as areas surrounding the Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar sites which fall within the Corangamite region. The current budget for the first round of CoastalTender is approximately $500,000. It is open to private land owners, local government shire councils and foreshore committees of management to undertake works on land that they directly manage. Land managers who formally express interest in the scheme will receive an obligation-free site assessment, and a draft management plan. The plan will contain a vegetation assessment and provide advice on management options. Following this, the land manager will be invited to submit a tender nominating the bid price they are seeking in order to undertake the management actions as outlined in the management plan. Tenders will then enter a competitive tender evaluation process. Once successful tenders have been determined, a five year agreement based on the agreed actions included in the bid will be signed. Land managers can also opt to include long-term protection commitments in their agreement, which will improve their competitiveness. Under these agreements, the land manager will receive financial incentive payments. Only actions that are over and above those required by current responsibilities under existing arrangements and legislation will be eligible for support. For further information, and to register an Expression of Interest, please telephone Polly Matthews on 0417 511 999 (Monday to Wednesday) or visit the website at www.ccma.vic.gov.au – be quick because oversubscription in the scheme may result in later registrations missing out. mitch34718

APR 06 - APR 12 2010 Friends and finances are a messy mix on Thursday so try to keep the two separate. Whether you tackle a DIY project, play gracious host or help out in your local community, home sweet home is the place to be this weekend. Leave work problems outside the door as you luxuriate in the pleasures of casa Capricorn.

Pace yourself on Thursday, when tricky Moon/Mars aspects leave you feeling impulsive and irritable. The main quality you need to cultivate this week is patience. You’re keen to escape from present difficulties but the motto for the moment is “Good things come to those who wait” – especially when it comes to love.

I’ve got two words to describe this week Crabs – it’s complicated! You’ll have more ups and downs than a rollercoaster, as you veer from irrational behaviour to calm contentment – and then back again. Try to maintain a sense of perspective and resist the urge to over-react to well-meant criticism.

The Sun shines on your love life (until April 20) and gives your partner an extra golden glow of gorgeousness. So it’s the perfect time to pamper them with lashings of love, as you show them how much they mean to you. Singles – with Mercury and Venus in your intimacy zone, you need to look for a lover who is also a friend.

Avoid being too safe Taurus! An adventurous approach will transform your world and bring more love and passion into your life. With Venus in your sign (until April 25) your appreciation of the arts is intensified. So it’s a fabulous time to soak up some culture and creativity at a concert, book reading, art exhibition or movie festival.

With Mars in your sign, you’re a Lion with extra courage as you dare to dream and take on mighty challenges. In between juggling family and work responsibilities, make sure you stretch yourself in new directions. Your quote for the week is from birthday great Claire Booth Luce “Courage is the ladder on which all other virtues mount.”

Secretive Scorps have strong beliefs but you often hide your true feelings, for fear of revealing too much of yourself. This week’s stars encourage you to be frank and straightforward with others; to stand up for what you believe in; and tell it like it is. Come the weekend, you’re in the mood to socialise with family and friends.

Aquarians love to have all the latest gadgets. But, with Jupiter, Uranus and the Moon all in your money zone, watch that your urge to splurge doesn’t get out of control as you turn impulse buying into an extreme sport! This week, ignore advertising catalogues, avoid window shopping – and leave your credit card at home.

Twins crave constant communication but this week you’ll need to temporarily escape the hurly-burly of the social world and spend some quality time on your own. You’ll also be drawn to the hidden and mysterious – anything from a good mystery novel to digging up a fascinating secret.

Saturn moves back into your sign this week, so it’s time to be a vigilant Virgo as you tie up loose ends and complete unfinished projects. This weekend’s Piscean Moon encourages you to be more sensitive towards others. They may not share your close attention to detail, but they have many other talents to offer.

This week favours fostering relationships with family, friends and neighbours. And, with the Sun lighting up your sport/hobby zone, it’s also time to pull on your running shoes, hit the gym or turn up the music (loud) and start dancing. For Sagittarians who are sick of being single – love and work are lusciously linked.

Pisceans are masters of avoidance, as you swim around ‘issues’ and side-step challenges. With Jupiter (planet of confidence and bravado) in your sign (for the first time in 12 years) it’s time to tune into the fearless and feisty Fish within. Be inspired by birthday great, Bette Davis “The key to life is accepting challenges.”

Pedal Power ‘Get protected on your bike’ BEING out on the open road on a bike can be dangerous. However, with the right type of purposedesigned gear, you will undoubtedly increase the chance of being noticed by motorists thus increasing your confidence and the enjoy-ability of your ride. Helmets As you would be well aware, helmets are compulsory for all cyclists. For a bicycle helmet to be effective it must fit properly and be worn in the correct manner. Quality helmets now have easy adjustment mechanism from the rear or top of the helmet in the form of a roller, dial or rear retraction system (easily adjusted one handed), dually secured by the adjustable straps beneath the chin. The strap beneath the chin should allow for no more than the size of your pinkie beneath the strap to maintain position. The front of the helmet should be positioned with at least a third of your forehead beneath the front of the helmet. Helmets are extremely, if not the most important, item of protection. Generally the dearer the helmet, the better the fit, the lighter, more aerodynamic and more breathability it will have.

wearing something lightweight and breathable in the warmer weather, and something lightweight but extra warm for the colder, winter months. Wet weather gear, ideally in a bright colour, should be carried at all times – just in case the weather turns. For winter I suggest that you have at least one Roubaix jersey (light fleece lined jersey) and a wind-proof vest and long sleeve breathable jersey for those milder days. Riding glasses Good riding glasses will provide shade during the

daytime and prevent dirt and other debris from getting in your eyes. Sunburn Sunburn is a high risk for cyclist. Shirts with collars and long sleeves are good (loose shirts can be worn over T-shirts/jerseys) as are lightweight scarves to protect the back of your neck. Flap hats can also be work under your helmet. Use a 30+ sunscreen to cover all exposed areas and don’t forget the back of your hands. Avoid putting sunscreen on your forehead as once you start sweating it will run into your eyes.

Cycling gloves Cycling gloves give comfort through padding and give a better grip on the handlebars which adds to safety. They also protect your hands in the event of an accident. Cycling shoes There are hundreds of cycling shoes on the market, particularly if you want to ‘clip in’ to your pedals for your ride. The main purpose behind clip in cycling shoes is that the energy transfer through your pedals is more efficient. You will have the capacity to gain more speed as your pedalling rotation will gain strength from the pulling up, as well as the usual push down motion. Cycling jerseys The purpose of cycling jerseys is that you are

WITH TORQUAY BOWLS CLUB

IT WAS the showdown of the season on Wednesday, with the Twilighters issuing a challenge to the pennant players on the closing day of the twilight series. The perpetual Brett Watson sculpture was up for grabs. The event was played with serious intent, and won by the pennant players even though they had to concede that they received somewhat of a shock at the skills of the Twilighters, and were hopelessly outclassed in the ‘refreshment’ stakes. The progress made by many of the players during the Crowne Plaza series has been remarkable, with quite a number now more than capable of challenging for spots in the club’s weekly competition teams. Over their 18-week season, 142 Twilighters took to the greens, with 80 regular attendees making up the core of 16 teams of four, ranging from 13 years old to 80-plus. Using the ideal conditions of the daylight saving evenings, teams of four competed each Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm, with some teams revolving up to eight players. Such has been the amazing success of this format that it will continue next year with the emphasis on flexibility, to meet players’ other commitments and also to allow teams to nominate the level of competition each wishes to enter. Brett Watson won the Crowne Plaza voucher for the most consistent player for the season. Next year, the Twilighters will run a championship for themselves and challenge the Highton twilight bowlers. Anyone interested in joining the group next season needs to get in now as 18 teams already have booked in and there is room for only six more. The best way to get involved is to take out twilight membership from the club, which provides prior entry over non-members. All levels of club membership are now available for next season, spanning May 1 this year to April 31 next year. Other sponsors who helped the twilight programme were Ushers Restaurant and Alcoa. For queries regarding next season contact Ian Gribble on 5264 8120.

THE LONG awaited new rolling handicap system comes into play this week. There will be some minor disruptions particularly for Wednesday’s competition as Golf Link undertakes the necessary system changes. At the end of the day, all players need to check their card next Saturday to see what the new handicap is. Just to refresh, Golflink will automatically identify your best ten scores from the last twenty rounds average the score multiply by 0.96 and the result is your handicap. Next Sunday is the first round of the mixed foursomes championships. This is a board event so get your names down quick. There are some ladies looking for partners so any men wanting to play and looking for a partner here is your chance. Just put your name down in the pro shop

Peter Gorfine with 67 won div 3 on c/b from Barry Dunkley. Trent Fischer with 69

No Joining Fee

While early in his career he struggled to break the 100 per round, over the past 25 years he has played off a handicap of between scratch and 4. One of Ron’s best memories is the day he shot 65 ‘off the stick’ which was seven under the card, a feat no other member has ever done before in competition at our club. Another memorable day he recorded 46 stableford points off a handicap of 3. Ron has been successful in pennant wins and ‘gold letter’ events within the club. He is recognized on the merit board and is only one of 12 members to be mentioned in the history of our club. Other memorable wins over his career include: 1. Winning 3 Pennant Finals. 2. Shooting 4 holes in one. 3. Foursomes championship 1994, 1996 and 2001 4. Macafee Plate 1995 and 1996.

From the women’s room Ros and Ainsley were on hand this week to receive congratulations from all the women for their excellent effort in reaching the final of the SWDLGA Betty Kernot. Thanks girls for flying the Torquay Golf Club flag so proudly. One of our board events gets under way this week with the first round of the Margaret Proud being played on Thursday. A different format is being tested this year with a set day put aside for the rounds, so good luck to everyone who has entered. I feel I am getting repetitive mentioning that we had yet another beautiful Tuesday for women’s day. It really has been an amazing autumn with week after week of

5. Medallist of the Year 2006. 6. Captain’s Cup 2009. Congratulations to a true champion. Golf tips from profession Sean Charleston Bunker Shots: Many golfers find it very hard to get the ball out of the bunker. The secret to good bunker play is ensuring the club continues to accelerate through the sand. Many club golfers try to dig the ball out of the sand and more often than not, the club remains buried in the sand. Junior Clinics will commence on Tuesday, April 20. 4.30pm - 5.30pm for a seven week period. Women’s clinics are fully booked for term one. A second group of women’s clinics will commence on Friday, April 23, 10am – 11am. Contact the pro shop on 5258 1523 to reserve your spot for these clinics.

windless, sunny days for us to enjoy .It is no wonder that the ladies have been out in force this week we had 90 players for a stable ford round. The jackpots went to Marg Bath and Glen Petty. NTPs went to Ruth Dickens, Julie Rogers and Sheena Sholton. Div 1 winner was Maureen Stuart over Chris Rudd. In div 2, it was Gillian Strickland over Glen Petty. div 3 went to Kay white over Rosie Jones but the day belonged to Jenny Halloran who had the score of the day in winning div 4 and had her first handicap break it is always a thrill to say goodbye to 45 and Jenny was a delighted winner over Mary Sweet. Good luck and goodbye to Shirley Galbraith who is heading to warmer climates – and wetter courses – in QLD. Shirley had been a member at Torquay for over 40 years and will be sorely missed by us all though she promises to keep up her visits.

Inaugural Surf Coast Junior Bream Fishing Classic Just a reminder that this Sunday, starting at 8.30am, is the first Surf Coast Junior Bream Fishing Classic for children aged 6-16, with prizes and showbags for the kids being given away. Also available are rides on the paddle boats and barbecues… what better way to finish off the Easter School holidays? So if you haven’t already registered make sure you go along to the Anglesea riverbank and register on the day to enable you to compete in the competition.

Sink your teeth into gummy shark

People who enjoy a serve of flake and chips this holiday break are being encouraged by the state government to do just that, confident that they are eating a product from a well-managed and sustainable fishery. Acting executive director of Fisheries Victoria, Michael Hodder, said most of the fish sold as Flake, are gummy sharks, which are common in the marine waters of southern Australia. “Intensive monitoring, research and management action in recent years has led to well-managed and sustainable commercial and recreational fisheries for this species in both Victorian and Commonwealth waters,” said Hodder. “In Victoria, gummy sharks are an important target species for both the commercial and

recreational fishing sectors and is a vital source of fresh fish to restaurants and markets. “Victoria has an agreement with the Commonwealth, in which the total annual commercial catch of gummy shark and school shark combined from Victorian state waters is limited to 40 tonnes. “In 2008/09, the total Victorian commercial catch of these two species from Victorian waters was 21 tonnes, worth $218,000. “Recreational catches are subject to a daily bag limit and possession limit of two fish per person for gummy shark and/or school shark. “Commercial net fishing regulations are designed to ensure juvenile gummy sharks are not caught and large breeding females avoid capture. “The protection of larger breeding females is vital to the long term sustainability of the fishery. “Gummy sharks can be found on or near the sea bed, generally inhabiting coastal marine waters to a depth of around 80 metres. “Most of the targeted Victorian commercial catch comes from the Corner Inlet and Port Phillip Bay fisheries. “These fisheries are carefully managed using controls such as licence limitation and restrictions on the use of net and long-line fishing equipment. “Good management of this fishery ensures sustainable supplies of a popular fish product to Victorian consumers and ensures a viable fishing industry that provides substantial economic and social benefits to many of the state’s regional coastal towns.”

Tainton’s triple treat

Torquay ruckman Zac Host wins this ruck duel during Saturday’s opening round victory Modewarre.

surfcoasttimes.com.au

THIRTEENTH Beach Golf Club’s reigning men’s champion, Troy Tainton, made it three titles in a row last month, beating off all challengers to win by nine shots. In the women’s event, Kerrin Biddle took out the championship for an incredible eighth time in a row – this time by a staggering 25 shots. Tainton won with rounds of 68-7278-76 (294) from Stewart Drayton 75-72-84-74 (285) and in the process reduced his handicap from one to scratch after his four-under first round. Biddle, on a 4 handicap, shot rounds of 79-77-75-75 (316) to win from her nearest rival Kathy Bell (6) who began well but faltered in the last with rounds of 83-83-85-90 (341). Biddle, a physical education teacher at Belmont High School, has now won every women’s championship since the club’s inception. The B Grade championship was won by Drew Cartledge (14) 83-8790-93 (353) by three shots from Mal Smith and the women’s B Grade winner was Alice Page. Bruce Nunn (6) and John Bell (5) tied for the veterans’ championship title on a score of 158, played over two rounds. Bell won the play-off on Saturday with a score of 78 to Nunn’s 82 to claim the title. Andrew Davies (5) is the club’s

new junior champion, following rounds of 75-79 (154) from Alex Schot-Guppy (6), who was three shots adrift after rounds of 78-79 (157) and Jerome Marinovic. Meanwhile, the handicapper will be having a close look at Alice Page’s 35 handicap after her outstanding effort to score 51 stableford points to win the women’s top prize in the combined 13th Beach-Barwon Heads Golf Club 20-hole social competition. Page is on a hot streak, having won 13th Beach’s B Grade Club Championship the previous weekend. The annual combined competition encompasses 10 holes on the 13th Beach Course with 10 holes on the neighbouring Barwon Heads course. Terry Crockett (13th Beach) ran a distant second with 43 points from 13th’s club captain Frankie MacGowan and Helen Robertson (13th) on 42. The men’s event was won by John Edsall (13th) with 44 points from Peter Brain (13th) and Robin Boag (BH) with 43. Two special ‘visitors’ in the field were New Zealand pair, Jamie Patton and Michael Goldstein, who are on a world golfing trip to raise money for a children’s charity by playing golf every day in 2010.
