But while the future of its buildings remain a mystery, for now, founder Leon Toy said he can ‘only hope’ the curated and well-established garden attraction would remain a permanent feature in Horsham. “Hope is one thing; whether they will is another,” he said. “It would be nice to have a legacy from what went on here.

GARDEN HOPE: Toy’s Garden Restaurant will close when current stock runs out after the property, with its famous Chinese garden, sold last week. Business founder Leon Toy said he could only ‘hope’ his garden would ‘last forever’, even if the future of the 2.8-hectare site was still unknown.
“We have to clear out of here by October, but we will be trading un til the food runs out. If we sell out tomorrow, we close tomorrow. We are expecting a very big takeaway weekend ahead,” he said. “After almost 50 years in the game, I am relieved it has sold. It means I don’t have to carry the burden of running a business. “It is such a long time – when I started at 24 years-old, I had a staff member who was 46 – now she is 92. Another was 23, now she is 70. “For all this I am grateful to my staff and loyal customers who have stuck with us for this long.” 16-page netballfootballWFNLandpreview
Wes Davidson, of Horsham’s Wes Davidson Real Estate, said there had been varied interest from potential buyers who considered purchasing the property with a range of business propositions in mind. He said the property on Stawell Road, Horsham, and within ‘general residential zoning’, was considered for continued restaurant trade, as a potential commercial development site, and for semi-commercial and residential development opportuni ties.For the time being at least, a con fidentiality clause within the sale contract prevents identification of the property’s buyer. Mr Toy said no more stock was ordered, and when it ran out, the business would close.

The survey shows Horsham res idents consider people affected by drugs or alcohol, driving while af fected by drugs or alcohol, family violence, drug trafficking and taking illegal drugs as the top-five commu nity
Officers will use results of a Vic toria Police 2022 Community Senti ment Survey to guide priorities for police response, in conjunction with community groups such as Horsham Community and Police Consultative Committee and public feedback.
“People who live in Horsham are invested and they do have confidence and trust that when they give infor mation to the police, that we will do something with that,” she said. “Sometimes it’s not an instant result. But eventually, generally, we have a good solve rate and good action results.”Senior Sergeant Matt Haughton said there was a common theme of drugs and alcohol throughout the survey feedback.“Thisis how people feel and they base that on their experience out in the public areas,” he said. “It’s no secret that drugs are out there, and we’re trying to get on the front foot to address that exact con cern that’s been raised through the community results.”
Inspector Di Thomson said police required, and valued, a two-way rela tionship with the community.
MAKINGMUSIC:
From page 1 Mr Toy said if he was still young, he would have continued his plan to es tablish accommodation on the site – a capstone to his concept for customers to ‘eat here, enjoy themselves in the garden, and then have somewhere to sleep’.But he said he could not go on ‘forever’. “After being flat out for so long and in the early days, learning and doing it the hard way and working my way up from the bottom, I was doing 18hour days, seven days a week. But for now, I can just relax and enjoy life,” he“Thesaid.effort I put in; I am so proud of it all. Sometimes I can’t even describe it. I don’t know how I ran a business full time and was able to create this garden. I just did.” Mr Davidson said the buyer’s net was cast ‘far and wide’, across Aus tralia and throughout sections of inter national markets in China. He said while it was sad to see Toy’s up for sale, after 50 years, the time was right for the family to enjoy life without the business.
Horsham Primary School band’s ren dition of Stadium Rock has earned it second place in the 2022 Engadine Music Virtual BandFest Competi tion.Band teacher Sandra Pope said the national competition required the band to film a performance and put it forward for voting. “It’s a national competition for pri mary and secondary schools across Australia,” she said. “The requirement was a video that was entertaining and creative.
“When they decided on the awards it was all weighted according to how long you had been playing, if you are primary or secondary level, and the size of the band.” The band’s entry was selected in the top 10 entries, which meant it was voted on by the public for the final results.
“The survey results show a lot of confidence in the police and shows us confidence in the public that they are reporting – it’s a two-way relation ship,” she said. “In the Horsham police service area, it’s all about relationships. People build trust and connectivity and, in a professional sense, they know who the police are in the community.”
Inspector Thomson said a Victoria Police Neighbourhood Policing Plan helped police identify opportunities to engage with community, who were the ‘eyes and ears’. She said people should ‘remain as tute’ and report unusual activity or information to police – which helped police compile ‘pieces of the puzzle’ that often lead to action.

Theconcerns.taskforce will work with other policing units, giving them ‘extra re sponse’ attention. Horsham ranked fifth statewide in terms of a proportion of respondents who feel safe. Southern Grampians topped the list and Nothern Grampi ans ranked seventh.
Inspector Thomson said the region had a ‘disproportionate’ number of ‘crop houses’, that being premises to manufacture drugs. She said a specialist team of detec tives and organisations such as The Orange Door were responding to and supporting victims of family violence. She said victims escaping or report ing family violence was high-risk, so support was critical. “There is a rigor ous process involved now in keeping victims of family violence safe,” she said.“A lot of the time, that will involve immediately removing the perpetra tor; at times, if orders are breached, that will result in a remand of the perpetrator.“Allfamily violence reported to po lice is taken seriously and investi gated.”Inspector Thomson said the consul tative committee welcomed and en couraged representation from diverse groups to ensure voices were heard. Survey responses were gathered across eight weeks, closing in May. Statewide, people affected by drugs or alcohol, other antisocial behaviour, hoon driving, speeding and home bur glary were the top-five concerns.

“This is the school’s third year of having a band, but it changes every year because the year-six students leave,” she said. “Our band is mainly made up of students in years five and six.”

Ice skating to feature A pop-up ice skating rink will head line an inaugural Spring into Horsham Festival during the September school holidays.Theseven-day festival will run from Monday, September 19 to Sunday, September 25 between 10am and 8pm at Roberts Place. Horsham Rural City Council is run ning the event with State Government funding.Mayor Robyn Gulline said attendees would get an ice skating experience in an authentic rink, with the hire of skates included. Inexperienced skaters have the option of hiring a kanga aid. She said plans also included live music, a gaming event and food and drinks.“The Spring into Horsham Festival will be a tourism drawcard for Hor sham and is timed to coincide with the Horsham Agricultural Show,” she said.“Council has kept the ice skating ticket prices low and we hope to see people come from far and wide to have a go and experience our city at its vibrant best. “We have asked our community what they would like to see, and we heard that fun, family-friendly events were the priority.”
“If you want one last feed from Toy’s – get down there and enjoy it while you can,” he said.
So how do we make it happen? As a region we need to continually advocate for the return of daily passenger trains to Horsham and beyond. We also need to campaign for better rail freight opportunities for our industries, as we can all name more than a few roads that are in poor condition. If some of the freight could be returned to rail there will be an improvement to our roads. You only have to compare the condition of Wilson Street with other urban roads to see the impact heavy vehicles have on our road network.
How long has it been since Horsham and the Wimmera has had a daily return train service to Melbourne? Too long! I have memories as a child of catching the train from Horsham, having lunch in Melbourne and then continuing our train journey to Seymour to visit my Forgrandparents.youngfamilies, our elderly and everyone in between, navigating the required changes from buses to trains is a huge challenge.

A countback procedure to fill an extraordinary vacancy in Horsham Rural City Council will take place at 10am on Tuesday 6 September, following the resignation of Councillor Di Bell. The vacancy will be filled by a countback of all formal votes from the 2020 Horsham Rural City Council election (instead of voters voting in a by-election).
I am sure there are many people who do not use our public transport service because it is not easily accessible for them. Accessible public transport is important because it ensures our residents can get to medical appointments and treatment. It also helps to connect people socially with family and friends. Horsham is one of the 10 regional cities in Victoria, we may be the smallest but we should not be without quality services or infrastructure that is available nearly everywhere else in the state.

NATURE WORKS
Strategies include developing an off-street laneway network that also provides a safe and convenient pedestrian network, identifying improvements for priority streets, ‘strength ening character and identity’ through restor ing heritage features, creating more outdoor meeting places, and improving safety and physical and visual connections between the town centre and broader Horsham.
The ‘CAD’ refers to the area bound north by Baillie Street, east to Urquhart Street and west to Darlot Street. It includes O’Callaghan Parade and Horsham Plaza.
Council pushes ahead with plan
EYE FOR DETAIL: Murtoa’s John Gerdtz beside his donated model of Murtoa Railway Station to Murtoa Historical Society.
Mayor Robyn Gulline said consultation would continue throughout implementation. “This plan is a long-term plan. There are seven strategies and there are 15 projects that could be implemented by our council over a period of time – depending on budget and depending on future consultation, which is well documented in the plan,” Cr Gulline said. “I’m very comfortable in supporting this, knowing that this just gives us a base and there will be multiple opportunities for consultation with businesses and stakehold ers at each step of the way.”

Mr Gertdz said his initial plan was to build the model for his shed at home. “I wanted to build it so my children and grandchildren could have it and see what the station was like when we first grew up here,” he said. “But it got too big, so I got in contact with the historical soci ety to see if they would like it.” Mr Gertdz said he started the project in November 2019 and had spent the past six months working almost ‘flat out’ to get it ready for exhibition. The historical society, in Co myn Street, is open to visitors between noon and 2pm daily.

Regional centre Cr Penny Flynn said Horsham needed the resources and infrastructure of a regional city. “We are not a small country town, and many smaller towns come to Horsham for a variety of goods and services,” she said. “We need a vibrant city and streetscape. We need to encourage active transport.”

BY JESSICA GRIMBLE Horsham Rural City Council has adopted a 15-year revitalisation plan for Horsham’s city centre. Councillors, at a meeting on Monday night, voiced support for the ‘Horsham Central Activity District Revitalisation: Streetscape Plan’, that lists seven strategies and 15 pro jects estimated to cost about $9.3-million.
It also includes furnishings, paving and planting.Threerounds of in-person and online com munity consultation determined there was ‘significant’ support for increased parks and green spaces, a town square, enhancing walk ability, pop-up parks and outdoor dining, acti vating laneways, cycling lanes and enhancing heritage buildings.
Cr David Bowe said the council needed a plan.“The CBD plays a vital role for all of us,” heCrsaid.Ian Ross said businesses were ‘on a knife’s edge’ of survival – particularly after the impacts of two years of the pandemic. While he supported the concept, he also expressed concerns that works would slow traffic throughput within the CAD and risk losing trade.
Cr Les Power said the community ‘shouldn’t be afraid’ to ‘embrace renewal’.

“Every time we come up with an idea of renewing something in Horsham, we have a lot of backlash,” he said. “We have a few people who are against be ing positive – that’s the way I see it – which is a real shame. “Let’s get Horsham cracking.”
Cr Claudia Haenel called for the council to postpone the vote, saying community and businesses felt unaware of some, or all, pro posals in the plan and wanted further consul tation. Her motion was defeated.
Abandoned Councillors noted that previous consid erations for parallel parking and bike lanes in Firebrace Street were abandoned; while upgrades to the former Roberts Avenue kin dergarten and May Park will offer families a safe and fun area for children. Following concerns from WestVic Business, the council has committed to further consul tation with businesses in relation to street crossings, and noted concerns about potential disruption as works are implemented.
The plan is part of the broader ‘City to Riv er’ project, which is based on the ‘CBD Re vitalisation Strategy’ of 2017. This document provided recommendations for infrastructure and public realm upgrades. The council has allowed $9.9-million in long-term capital works – from external grants, a loan, CBD reserve and rates. People can view the plan via www.hrcc. vic.gov.au

Councils publish newspaper adver tisements drawing attention to their engagement and community consulta tion opportunities, and offer plans and discussion points for further reading via online channels. Chances to meet in-person, often in public spaces, and online also utilise various communication mediums to ensure they reach as many people and the feedback is as reflective of the community sentiment as possible.
Sure, some are more willing to com municate and engage than others. But it’s not enough to become aware of communication and engagement opportunities at the 11th hour of the approval process; or to claim igno rance when plans have been on the table for extended periods of time. And it’s not enough for drivers of projects to not thoroughly offer en gagement pathways; and consider feedback, and time, effort and energy the community has taken to do so.

It’s then the responsibility of govern ments, councils and other groups to consider feedback in reviewing docu ments for eventual implementation.
Support city bands As the ratepayers’ representative on the Horsham City Oval and Sawyer Park Community Reference Group, CRG, I feel obligated to encourage ratepayers to support the Horsham City Brass Band and Horsham City Pipe Band in refusing to leave their City Oval home until suitable alternative venues are found. At CRG meetings, we were told a dozen times and moved resolutions in favour of any group forced off the oval being pro vided with a venue equal to, or better than, their current halls. When council passed this City Oval pro posal, they were going to move mountains to rehouse these bands to equal or better venues than what they have now. Trying to tell the 160-year-old Highland band that moved its hall onto the oval 72 years ago, and the brass band that funded and built its hall 60 years ago, that being moved to a back room of Jubilee Hall shared with eight to 10 other groups is equal to, or better, is ridiculous. The band halls are specifically set-up for their groups; not having to pack up and take everything home as Horsham Rural City Council now expects of them. To add ‘insult and stupidity’ to this sce nario, council expects to spend $200,000 sound-proofing the back room of Jubilee Hall. Stupidity at its highest – $200,000 would go a long way to constructing a purpose-built venue to accommodate these old, well-established bands of Hor sham. What use is sound-proofing when both bands practice marching while playing? Obviously now marching up and down Roberts Avenue would cause a traffic con trol problem that is not a problem while marching on the City Oval. Council’s attitude towards these two well-established bands is deplorable and I ask all ratepayers to rally around them and support them by contacting the council –either in writing, by phone or Facebook to allow these bands to continue for many more years. I strongly urge these two bands to take VCAT action as there is ample evidence to support their cause for a suitable venue – especially as there is plenty of room for a second netball court while keeping the band hall.
Finding a voice supports community
Neville McIntyre, McKenzie Creek Health system exposed The Victorian healthcare system was in crisis well before the COVID pandemic began. Now, more than two years later, we have seen elective surgery waitlists balloon to more than 87,000 people – with a record number of people waiting to see specialists. Ambulance Victoria is regu larly plunged into Code Red, and fewer than 60 percent of patients who attended an Emergency Department in the past three months were treated in the recom mended time. Daniel Andrews has been Victoria’s Pre mier or Health Minister for 11 of the past 15 years. This is not a healthcare crisis caused by COVID – it has merely exposed how fragile our health system has been with Daniel Andrews at the helm. Labor had eight years to improve health care in our communities, yet it has chosen to slowly dismantle it with $2-billion of funding cut this year compared with 2021. To date, Liberals and The Nationals have committed more than $1.5 billion to bring regional Victorian hospitals up to date. This includes upgrades at St Arnaud, as well as brand-new hospitals in West Gipp sland, Mildura and Albury-Wodonga, with more announcements to come. Healthcare professionals across Victoria have been abandoned by Daniel Andrews. Which is why under a Liberal and Na tionals government more than 260,000 Victorian health workers will be eligible for free travel across all metropolitan and V-Line public transport services 365 days a year until November 2026.
Communication and engage ment are both simple and complex constructs. As journalists, and working in the media, it is our bread and butter. We acknowledge the importance of clear communication, of publish ing accurate information and offering people a place to share their views with others, respectfully. As technology evolves and society’s habits change, we have more plat forms and channels available to us, to educate, inform and entertain people with the news and events of the day. We ‘meet’ people where they are at. Communication and engagement is a common theme throughout this week’s edition, as it is most weeks – in terms of shaping a revitalisation plan for Horsham’s city centre; how it sup ports the work of Victoria Police; the importance of considered and tailored communication and engagement plans for diverse workforces; even how it can earn accolades for primary school bands... the list goes on. Communication and engagement are well-used phrases among govern ments, councils and other groups as a method of seeking feedback – whether it be an opportunity to understand the undertones of community issues and sentiment; or seeking feedback about important and impactful projects and proposals.TheState Government has an entire website, Engage Victoria, dedicated to offering the public to provide feed back on proposed projects.
Horsham Rural City Council will host an expo next week for residents to speak with staff and share their ideas about a range of projects. Discussion topics will include herit age, waste, community inclusion, cap ital works, and health and wellbeing. It’s a chance for people to have their say, at a time that suits them, and in a space where they can ask questions and provide immediate feedback.
Synthesising volumes of feedback and information is a whole, mammoth challenge in itself. To get the right bal ance; to reflect common and differing sentiments. But the first step is to get involved –and to speak out and have your voice heard.

Mr Thompson said he wanted to work with cars in the future, the rear-wheel-drive variety not in tentionally kind on tyres; and after employment at Bunnings and with councils, was eager to learn more about machinery’s mechanical side.

Mr Clark said Mr Thompson’s employment at Laser was ‘extremely important’ and they wanted to support diversity in all aspects of their business. He said ‘structure’ was beneficial for Mr Thompson and the goal was to have him do as much mechanical work, and ‘outside work’, as possible.“Even now, two years down the track, our relationship with Daniel is not finished in the sense he regularly meets with Tamara, who has a different relationship with him than we do as his employer, and she works with us about how he is feeling about his work with us,” he said.

CHANCE: Axis Employment Horsham’s Tamara Coller with client Daniel Thompson, who works two days a week at Laser Electrical Horsham.
“Businesses are missing out if they are not involved. There are a lot of support mechanisms for employers. Axis has been outstanding and supportive and there is nothing they won’t do to assist the relationship we have built with Dan iel,” Mr Clark said.
“Business becomes, overall, more productive when there are drivers in place that encourage psychological safety and reasons for people to go that extra mile,” she said. “These opportunities, for businesses to achieve these aims, are not always immediately obvious, if they don’t try to engage with more workplace diversity.”MsDavidson said given many employers were struggling to fill positions in the current market, there were benefits for businesses that took a ‘different approach’ and were ‘more flexible’. She referenced Diversity Council of Australia research that also relayed worker’s support for inclusion initiatives, while successive years of research had found managerial inclusivity was ‘more than a feel-good exercise’. It showed non-inclusive managerial practices reduced company-wide innovation, left employ ees to consider the negative mental-health effects of their work and increased reporting of discrim ination and workplace harassment.
“Daniel is one of the highest performing people here at Laser and he is just lovely to be around.” Community Axis supports 400 clients across the Grampians region; 65 percent of clients have gained employment.
Mr Thompson’s employment-consultant Tamara Coller said she was ‘always in the loop’ with Laser to discuss workplace sentiment. She and Mr Thompson now focus on building his“Danielskillset.can get bored when he gets good at a role, so we like to keep things rolling along for him with continual communication to make sure he is working towards his goals,” she said.
Wimmera-based workplace relations and hu man resources consultant Lisa Davidson said benefits of providing an inclusive workplace ex tended well beyond just an individual employer.
Ms Davidson also pointed to a Journal of Vo cational Rehabilitation paper that found workers with a disability often had higher rates of reten tion, better attendance and fewer occupational health and safety incidents.
Axis Employment Horsham has filled a crucial role in the social and employment fabric of many of its jobseeker’s lives, with programs for people with a permanent disability, or those with a ‘tem porary’ disability or injury to find work. The organisation has worked with Mr Thomp son for more than four years. The team has helped him develop skills and consulted with employers according to his employment goals.

The workshop is where Daniel feels most comfortable; it is where he learns and helps his colleagues at Laser Electrical Horsham maintain vehicles and machines. With the support of disability employment and service-provider Axis Employment Horsham, Daniel Thompson has worked two days a week for two years from Lasers’ Plumpton Road site. The crew plans maintenance and cleaning routines in accordance with his bi-weekly visits, a routine he said he enjoys, even though the excavators, utes and vans are not the fast cars he wished he was working with.
Laser Electrical Horsham human resources co-ordinator Andy Clark said Mr Thompson, 32, always had an ‘amazing disposition, was lovely to be around and did great work’, and that too often, businesses considered too many reasons why they were unable to be involved with longterm disability-employment clients.
He said a lack of attention from the drivers of the cars was deemed the cause of the collisions; none of the heavy vehicles were at fault.

CELEBRATION: Ararat’s Darren Jerram was the top-prize winner of a raffle raising money for Variety – the Children’s Charity.
A car left its designated lane and collided with a tip truck at Drung on July 19, then two days later, a van with two occupants failed to give way at an intersection at Deep SuperintendentLead. Milner said the incidents occurred during the morning, and with clear weather.
A vehicle travelling along the Borung Highway to wards Warracknabeal failed to give way at an intersec tion on July 5. In a separate incident, a vehicle went to perform a U-turn in front of a B-double truck travelling on the Henty Highway near Brimpaen on July 8.
Wimmera Superintendent Ian Milner said it was ‘ex tremely fortunate’ lives were not lost in the incidents that occurred across the region.
Ace surprise for Darren
TOYOTA CLASS
An Ararat man is the win ner of a charity raffle prize – a new vehicle. Darren Jerram was announced the winner of a Ford Escape, courtesy of a raffle for Variety –the Children’s Charity. Only 1500 tickets were avail able in the raffle, which raises money for children who are living with disability, disadvantage or illness.TheACE Radio Network is a supporter of the raffle. Mr Jerram is preparing to take custody of the vehicle soon. “It was a good surprise – it real ly was,” he said. “You go into these competitions to give a donation and don’t think any more of it, so to then get a phone call was really exciting.” Mr Jerram is a regular morning radio listener, but was out-ofroutine when the phone call came last“Toweek.be honest, I forgot I was even in the raffle,” he said. “When I got the phone call, I didn’t realise what they were talking about – it was 8.15am and from an unlisted number.
Superintendent Milner called on people to be aware and mindful of the blind spots facing truck drivers and the challenges they faced in driving, navigating and, ultimately, stopping their vehicles in an emergency.
Police caution driver attention
“Normally I have the radio go ing, so it’s a good thing I didn’t or they would’ve gotten feedback when I answered the call. “It is a great cause.” The ACE Radio Network sold more than 1000 tickets, resulting in a contribution to Variety of $75,000.ACEchief executive Mark Tay lor said this effort brought the network’s fundraising total for the charity to about $325,000. “ACE Radio has been a keen supporter of Variety for some years now, through the annual Variety bash, which took off last week on a 10-day trek through to Cairns,” he said. “Funds raised by Variety con tribute towards assisting children and families in need of various things – from learning and so cialisation tools to mobility and engagement assistance and much more.“Our own regional communities have been touched by their work many times in recent years. “ACE Radio is proud to support such important work, supporting the charity and selling tickets through our stations across the state.“We congratulate Darren, living and working locally here in Ara rat, as the prize winner.”
A lack of driver attention has resulted in four serious collisions involving trucks in less than two months.

With Dylan Hartwich, the couple is the new owner of Horsham and Dis trictMsFunerals.Perovic, of Horsham, is the granddaughter of outgoing owners Bill and Heather Pitman who have worked in the industry for 20 years. “My mother was an embalmer, my grandparents bought into this busi ness, so I sort of had my fate set up for me,” Ms Perovic said. “I wasn’t planning on going into the industry, but as soon as I started here I knew how much I loved it. Now I’ve brought Dylan along for the ride.” Ms Perovic said she had been work ing with her grandparents for four years and valued being able to support people during a challenging time.
Mrs Pitman agreed it was good to see people from a younger generation want to take on the business.
“We will miss all the families be cause you have a special bond with people who are bereaved, but at the same time, it’s hard work.
“Traditionally, funeral directing has been our generation, which is slightly older, so it’s good to see younger peo ple come in and show some interest,” she“Theysaid. are our future and for us to know it’s left in good hands is the best part of being able to hand it over.
“We will be about to help when they need us, but now it’s time for us to have a rest.” Mr Hartwich has been working in the industry for about four months.
“It’s good to see the younger gener ation step up to grasp this opportunity and feel comfortable to take on this role,” he said. “It’s a very rewarding role to be able to nurture families through what is probably the worst week of their life.
Mrs Pitman said Ms Perovic had all the ‘tools’ she needed to be a good funeral director. “She has empathy, she cares about people and that’s what it’s all about,” she“Amitysaid. has grown up in this industry as part of the family, so it’s nothing new to her. She’s a really good morti cian and a good funeral director.”

“A lot of people come in not know ing what comes next and when we have a discussion with them, you can see the relief on their faces when they know someone is there to help them through the situation.”
“I want people to remember that we catered to their emotions and needs, to remember us as being there during that hard time,” she said. “Bill and Heather showed us the im portance of upholding a high standard and ensuring that you’re always on the ball and respecting the community.
BUSINESS:FAMILY
“I enjoy being able to support people and care for the loved ones – I suppose it’s such a specialised skill, you need to be a specific sort of person and have a human understanding,” she said. “It’s also what makes the role so interesting. We work with different families and understand that no funer al is the same. “The hardest part is working with people who are going through the grieving process – every family is at a different level, so you have to be understanding to all and adapt to each family.”MrPitman said after 20 years of di recting more than 100 funerals a year, it was time to sit back, enjoy life and chase after great-grandchildren.
“It’s all new to me,” he said. “I have come from a trade back ground. I’m learning how to help fam ilies and Bill and Heather have taught me about making sure the details are perfect and always doing right by the people you work with.” Ms Perovic said the pair planned to get more involved in the community and leave a legacy that they made the process a little easier for families they work with.

“There will also be a chance for students to cross-pollinate across industries, as so many workplace specialities overlap. And there will be opportunities for students to access grant funding and placement support depending on the business and its location.”Federation University launched its co-operative model at its open day earlier this month, in time for National Skills Week – a week of increased focus on the status of vocational careers within Austra lian employment – that began on Monday.

Q. How often will the bins be collected?
Q. What are the charges for the new Residential Waste Collection?
The annual charges that will be applied to your rates notice for residential properties are as follows: Four (4) Bin System $462 Three (3) Bin System $404 This is the same charge as for the previous financial years collection service.
Q. Are the new services compulsory?
Q. Are the new services compulsory for Commercial, Industrial and Non-Rateable properties? No – all commercial, industrial, and non-rateable properties will need to complete a form from the customer services department to opt-into the services. These charges will be invoiced out to the applicant on a pro-rata basis.
WANT TO KNOW MORE? Do you want more information, you can contact Council’s Customer Services department at (03) 5355 0200 or email circular@ararat.vic.gov.au
Place your bin out the night before collection day and bring them in when they have been emptied. Bins should be placed on the kerb, close to the road. Space bins about a meter apart with handles facing your home. Make sure the lids are closed to prevent litter.
Page 14 Wednesday, August 24, 2022www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au
Houses with land over 5 hectares will receive the new three bin system (waste, comingled recycling and glass).
By 2030, all Victorian households will be using the same waste and recycling systems and separating their waste and recycling into four streams, being organics, glass recycling, comingled recycling and general rubbish, enabling greater recovery and recycling to occur.
Q. Where can I find information on what goes in each bin?
Food and greenwaste thrown into your general waste bin (red lid) goes directly to landfill. These organics create greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Sorting your kitchen scraps and garden waste into your new green lid bin means less goes to landfill. Instead this waste is turned into mulch and compost, helping conserve valuable resources and minimising greenhouse gases.
• Waste – Weekly on your nominated day • Recycling – Fortnightly on your nominated day • Organics – Alternate fortnight on your nominated day Glass – Every four weeks on your nominated day
The new waste services are compulsory for all properties with a residence in both urban and rural areas.

Wimmera farmers can expect more rain this spring after the declaration of a negative Indian Ocean Dipole, IOD. For the first time in recorded history, the 2022 winter and spring seasons will see Australia experience a negative IOD two years in a row.
“Harvestthem.can be tricky when it is too wet and farmers are trying to be efficient.” Mr Jochinke said it was expensive to grow a crop and no one wanted to lose any hard work.
Farmers brace for above-average rain
STRIKE A POSE: Seventeen young people from across the Wimmera have been cast for a Christmas pantomime – a steam-punk-style Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Organiser Emily Friedrichsen said the cast of students, attending year-seven and above, would perform shows in Horsham throughout December. She welcomed late inclusions to the ensemble; people can contact her via emily.friedrichsen@education.vic.gov.au
“The challenges of a really wet spring are dis ease in the plant canopy, fungus and weight can be washed off the grain or it can become more brittle,” he said. “The risk feels high because of current input costs, lack of machinery and a skinny workforce – it’s a real challenge.

Mr Jochinke said the Wimmera had not experi enced the same rainfall as the east coast, but the crops were looking good. “Hopefully we’ll have reasonable rain in the spring,” he said.
What is going on in the world around us?
“Despite this, the feeling around the season is excellent and if anything, it’s a really good op portunity for us to have a good season. “As farmers, there’s not a lot we can do but try and be as prepared as possible.”
“We want the rain to back off in November and December because it’s great that we can grow good crops, but we also need to be able to harvest
“We want the rain to back off in November and December because it’s great that we can grow good crops, but we also need to be able to harvest them. Harvest can be tricky when it is too wet and farmers are trying to be efficient” – David Jochinke
Murra Warra farmer David Jochinke said with the La Niña over, an interesting weather pattern was emerging. “It bodes well for us in the Wimmera – getting high fronts of moisture, which is rain for us in the back half of the year,” he said. “The probability is high that we will have above-average rain.” The IOD describes a natural climate cycle with temperature differences across the tropical Indi an Ocean, meaning warmer-than-normal water in the east and cooler-than-normal water in the west.Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s head of long-range forecasting Andrew Watkins said the bureau’s three-month climate outlook was for above-average rain for much of Australia. “With wet soils, high rivers and full dams, and the outlook for above-average rain, elevated flood risk remains for eastern Australia,” he said.

Pandemics, interest rates, wars, food and petrol costs are all contributing to an environment of insecurity and fear. Believe it or not, this is exactly what we should be expecting.

“I would not like to see us go through a summer with the levels the way they are now, and the weeds that are there, without proactively doing something about it.
aesthetic were expressed. The council was initially unsure who was respon sible for the works. The council had engaged consultant Aquatic Technologies to investigate the dense aquatic plant growth in the lake and to provide options for ongo ingAquaticmanagement.Technologies’ report found that most of the plant growth – be tween 85 and 90 percent – was ribbon weed. While it presented a range of options to the council, the only viable method of weed cutting, with the current low water levels, was using an amphibious harvester. The council agreed to remove eight hectares of vegetation, at a cost of about $40,000.
“I think that’s our responsibility as a “Icouncil.believe we are very, very fortunate to have one of our towns built on the banks of a lake – and to everyone’s envy.“Iwould be prepared to do what we have to do and to try to have it as useable as possible for every type of water sport. “We have to act.”
Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, CMA, will contribute $30,000 towards the trial. The council also supported the ex tension of the lake’s boat ramp by 20 metres to improve water access. The extension cost is about $20,000. Works will take place during sum mer when the water level is down. Improving access
Mr Cooke contributed six years as club sec retary and more than 20 years as current club treasurer. He flies a number of nitro-fuelled and pet rol-fuelled RC scale aircraft. He is also a unique modeller within the club, as the only pilot who flies with his RC Trans mitter in the ‘mode two’ configuration. He joins the only other life member of Wimmera Model Aircraft Association, Vic Cresp, who now lives at Marong, flying RC Models with the Bendigo RCWimmeraFlyers. Model Aircraft Association is still on the hunt for a new flying site. The club has some options on the table, but is waiting for funds, weather and opportunity to potentially move to a new suitable site.
AWest Wimmera Shire Council trial aims to cull excessive weed growth in Edenhope’s Lake Wallace.Thecouncil, at its latest meeting at Kaniva last week, agreed to a trial that would remove five percent of vegeta tion from the lake. The action aims to establish the most efficient maintenance program for its ongoing weed management. It comes after many months of coun cil investigation and community con cerns, including a petition, seeking action.Theweeds had become more appar ent as the water levels dropped and concerns for fish health, birdlife and
Wimmera Model Aircraft Association secretary Rolf Hedt asked landowners with a disused farm yard to contact him. Mr Hedt said an ideal yard would be mostly cleared of house and yards, where the clubrooms and a 150-metre by 40-metre runway would not interfere with farming operations. The yard would have no trees or powerlines in the over fly area of the paddock. Mr Hedt said people could contact him via r.m.hedt@gmail.com to discuss further.
Council acts on Wallace weed trial
“I am very supportive of having a weed-cutting trial in Lake Wallace and seeing what benefits can come from it,” she said. “It would be very sad if the level drops even further.
Wimmera Model Aircraft Association has award ed a life membership to Peter Cooke. The award recognises 31 years of continu ous membership and many hours of volunteer work, supporting the club with mowing runways and sourcing ingredients and preparing food for cooking the barbecues for club and hosted events.Club president Adam Breuer presented the award to Mr Cooke at the club’s annual general meeting this month. Several members were present to congratulate Mr Cooke with his much-appreciated help in running the club.
Club honours long service
The council’s infrastructure devel opment and works director Ram Up adhyaya said removing an excessive amount of the ribbon weed might increase the chances of blue-green algae, but a trial cutting only five percent would be safe and well within the guidelines provided by the experts.
Cr Trevor Domaschenz said the CMA funding was ‘a game changer’.

Leadership Wimmera has provided opportunities for the development of emerging and existing community leaders across the Wimmera and south ern Mallee in Victoria since its inception in 2002. Graduates from the pro gram, which is overseen by Wimmera Development Association, use life and leader ship skills they learn in the pro gram in their roles as business owners, managers, employees, volunteers, parents, friends and community members. It has two flagship programs and runs several other develop ment opportunities annually.
“Things are progressively getting busier as we get further along this year,” he said. “Small country parks often present people an opportunity to go back to the roots of what car avan parks are. The older generation that come through have seen the change of caravan parks from simple experiences into upgraded and in creasingly fancy sites with attractions and jump ing castles, for example.
Edenhope Lakeside Tourist Park and Wimmera Mallee Cabins will share a $4-million State Government Regional Tourism Investment Fund grant to build cabin accommodation and a multi purpose visitor facility. Mr Craig said with a $1-million grant and a $350,000 contribution from West Wimmera Shire Council, money was allocated for the demolition of three buildings and the construction of one large all-access building including a kitchen, laundry room, games room and amenities block.

“Now they just want to step back and enjoy what they had as kids – that simple experience a caravan park offers.” The Craigs have operated caravan and tourist parks across Australia and took over operation of the Edenhope site in early 2022. Mr Craig said the Edenhope community was what they were looking for in a tourist park and a place to live.
Strong focus on leadership
Pradip Bhujel Business-organisation and role? Yarriambiack Shire Council, asset co-ordinator. Which Leadership Wimmera program are you par ticipating in? Change Makers. Why are you participating in a Leadership Wimmera program? My target is to create a mid-career level re alising what leadership a management role will require along with an understanding of my current weaknesses, strengths and capabilities. Further, to meet new people and build connections within our local community and learn from them how to be better leaders. What do you hope to achieve and-or learn by partici pating in Leadership Wimmera? I want to learn the pro cess of developing collaborative goals and knowledge of supporting the team to receive success in my workplace. What has been the highlight of the program? My highlight for this program is attending the opening retreat in Dunkeld, and meeting with all participants and our facilitator Daniel Healy. Further, I am looking forward to each session, catching up with other leaders, learning something new and making connections.
“The work will increase our accommodation by eight powered-tent sites,” he said.
“The council put the application ideas to us in early February when we took over the park. We had contractors here this week looking at the site, so we expect the work to get going pretty soon.”
Wimmera Mallee Cabins was awarded $3-mil lion to build 16 new cabins across its Hindmarsh, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack sites.
“The aim of the cabins project was to meet the well-known gaps in the region’s accommodation options by providing consistent quality, self-con tained cabins,” he said.

“It is a small community that helps each other –that is the territory we like,” he said. “It’s a good spot for tourists here on the lake, too. More and more tourists have sought a laid-back experience since COVID, away from larger towns with heavy tourism operations. They want to lay back and do what they want with no one in their pockets – that is what they can do in this region.”
With money set for tourist-accommoda tion businesses in the Wimmera after a government funding announcement, tourist park owners are confident of a return to ‘oldschool’Edenhopeholidaying.Lakeside Tourist Park owner Chris Craig said he had noticed a return to a camping and caravan holidaying-first principle, as people enjoyed the nostalgia of road-trip holidays after the easing of stringent COVID restrictions.

Wimmera Development Association, on behalf of Wimmera Mallee Tourism, has also won $3-million from the State Government’s Region al Tourism Investment Fund for construction of 30 cabins across 15 different Wimmera tourist parks in Hindmarsh, Yarrriambiack and West Wimmera.WestWimmera council will contribute a further $500,000 towards the Wimmera Mallee Tourism project, with Kaniva Park, Lake Charlegrark, Harrow and Goroke caravan parks set for con struction of various two and three-bedroom cab ins, and a disability-access cabin. Council chief executive David Bezuidenhout said there was a need for a greater variety of ‘mid-ranged and mid-priced’ cabin accommoda tion in his region.
The Weekly Advertiser, in part nership with Leadership Wim mera, continues to present weekly profiles of this year’s leadership program participants.

“Previously we have seen some cases of wooden cupboards or gym lockers as storage receptables for firearms” he said. The changes apply to current firearm owners, people who are newly licensed or applying for a licence, or people who plan to buy or get a firearm.
Superintendent Milner said many people might already comply with the changes ahead of time.
A support group for Wimmera people affected by cancer treatment and dialysis will relaunch next week after its COVID-restriction post ponement.Wimmera Cancer Centre has put a call out for all centre and dialysis unit patients and their families and carers to join its Wimmera Friend ship Support Group.
COMMEMORATE: Tess Yeo, Bill Purchase and Rex Dumesny lay wreaths at a Vietnam Veterans’ Day service at Sawyer Park, Horsham, on Thursday. Colin Hill, president of the Wimmera branch of the Vietnam Veterans Association, said weather and the age of attendees meant a small service was planned to recognise and remember the returned servicemen. “People aren’t forgetting. It’s marvellous now, the respect we get from local people. It really warms your heart,” Mr Hill said. “When we came home from Vietnam, it was a lot different. It was bad. A lot of us hibernated away from everything. Even the RSL didn’t recognise us as veterans. They didn’t even think it was a war.”
While guest speakers were sometimes part of previous meetings, the group’s re-emergence will focus on a ‘chat and get to know everyone’ format.Centre staff encourage people involved with either arm of the organisation to join the group. The support group kicks off at 10am on Thurs day, September 1, and will meet for 1.5 hours at the Wimmera Cancer Centre in Horsham. People can call cancer resource nurse Cather ine Olston with any questions about the group on 5362 3485 or 5381 9169.

Smallaire is a family-owned and operated business which commenced business in 1974 and it’s current direction was in response to the long hot Wimmera Thesummers.business is built around the needs of each individual client and their circumstances relating to air movement, be it agricultural, commercial or domestic.
“School-based apprenticeships allow students to finish year 12, which they need to maintain a higher income, and start some trade-based modules during year. “Then, when they finish school, they have already completed trade-school modules and that can help smooth the transition to work. “It gets them away from school for a bit and introduces them to life post school.“The crossover really keeps them motivated.”MissSmall encouraged adults to also consider ‘levelling up’ their qual ifications and broaden their career options by starting a mature-age ap prenticeship.Shesaidthere were not a lot of peo ple who considered becoming more qualified in their chosen trade because of a drop to apprentice-level wages. However, she emphasised once peo ple were qualified, their employment and income ceiling would fast over take their current wage.
Adirector of a Horsham engi neering business has high lighted a changed public per ception of vocational skills and emphasised benefits of schoolbasedLolitaapprenticeships.Small,director of Horsham agricultural air-movement manufac turing business Smallaire, said schoolbased apprenticeships demonstrated to students a ‘real capacity’ for the Wim mera to provide them a career. She said as ‘outdated’ and ‘false attitudes’ about vocational work con tinued to change among students and families, a school and work crossover of school-based apprenticeships of fered a smoother, and more exciting, transition from school to work.
“The way many people view trades and skilled work has been changing,” she“Assaid.these attitudes shift, people re alise with so many options for Wim mera youth to work in the region, they don’t have to leave and head to the city for “Horshamwork.offers so much, and we have a need for skilled workers in so many fields.”
“Recently there has been way more interest from woman who maybe thought, ‘why can’t I do it?’ I love it, it is so great. Why does it have to be a man’s job?” she said. “I hope every one gets on board with all these new opportunities and ways we can get people into work.
“Whether it is adults wanting a change or students wanting to learn at school and at work, I encourage peo ple to think outside the square about their options.”
BY MICHAEL SCALZO
“The downside is yes, for a while your income would be lower, but at the end of the day, you will increase your opportunities and options down the road,” she said. “The mines are an example of a common workplace that will hire a qualified person over experience. “There is some pain for a lot of gain.”Miss Small said she was also buoyed by a rapid rise in the number of woman taking up previously maledominated roles in her business.
Demand for health, social assis tance and childcare services has almost doubled the growth rate of any otherNationalindustry.Skills Week chairman Bri an Wexham said health care and so cial assistance was Australia’s largest employer, with more than 1.8 million workers.Buthesaid with an increasingly age ing population, and medical advances, more people and ongoing develop ment of skills was required. “It’s estimated that an additional 16,000 new childcare workers will also be needed if demand for these services is to be met. Australia’s birth rate is at a record low, but workforce participation by women is at a record high and government policies have shifted with the aim of making child care more accessible and affordable,” heMrsaid.Wexham said it was critical that school leavers, job seekers, parents and career changers were informed about the jobs of the future. “This will ensure our young people, yet to start careers, can gain training and skills in education, which is going to secure them a job at the end of that training,” he said.
Lochie Potter
Miss Small said once students vis ited the factory, saw the career options and the work variety available, the ex perience ‘always opened their eyes’. “Sometimes I don’t think students realise what is here until they come and get their hands on it all and get some work experience,” she said.
“Further, it will assist in funnel ling Australia’s labour market into the training opportunities which are most likely going to lead to their employ ment in the most in-demand jobs of the future.”

Senior coach Jack Landt assumed the role in round nine after sharing it with Justin Beugelaar early on. He said getting to finals was the standard the team wanted to reach.
Dimboola unexpectantly rose to the challenge this year, starting the season with a 12 pre miership point penalty and making up the differ ence to finish with a finals berth. It was not until after round seven that the Roos began moving up on the board with their fourth win of the season.Since that round, they lost two games, against secondplaced Minyip-Murtoa and third-placed Stawell.

In his first season of senior football, Harradine has not missed a step, slotting into the side this year. He can transition from the backline to midfield and with his athleticism is often hot on his opponents’ heels ready for a tackle or to take the mark. He is excited to have his first taste of senior football finals this year.
“Ourselves and the Demons have both beaten Ararat and Stawell, and the Giants defeated Stawell and MinyipMurtoa, who are in the top three; while the three of us were tussling to the very end for a finals berth,” he said.

“This could be the year the team who finishes fourth or fifth could go to the end and win a flag.
With several first-year senior players qualifying for finals consideration, Landt is excited to see how they will perform under pressure. “During finals, at an individual level, you get to see the good players stand up and it’s really awesome to see the young players show you what they can do well,” he said.
In the dying moments of round 13, Dimboola pulled off its biggest surprise of the season by narrowly defeating Ararat. The Roos lost to Minyip-Murtoa twice this season, the Burras being the only team to take it to them both times they met.
Landt said there would be no easy games in finals based on results throughout the season.
Jonathon Ross With more than 30 goals to his name for the sea son, Ross is a pivotal player for the Roos. Quick on his feet, he has made an impression on the competition during his first year of Wimmera foot ball. Often getting a jump on his opponent, he can be trusted to get results on most occasions from anywhere in the forward 50.
Landt said each win was an effort by the whole team, rather than individual players. We have a versatile group of players so we don’t rely on just one or two players, we play a real team game,” he said. “I think our ball movement down the field is really good, too.”

Horsham continues to hold the record for the most flags won in a row, with 10 from 2003 to 2012 and has since won another three, playing in finals in all but one year of the past 20Inyears.therecent years of success, until now, Horsham only played an elimination final in the first week on one other occasion, in 2016. Burke said playing an elimination final first up put some urgency on the team’s performance.
Rhys Barber Horsham’s reliable ruckman Rhys Barber is in for a big finals series as he continues to make his mark on the competition. Notably, he claimed the pres tigious Bert Perry Medal in this year’s Anzac Day clash. He gets plenty of clearances and will be a challenging opponent.
Lakin is a key leader in the Demons’ unit from centre-half back and is often a standout in crucial games. Also capable of kicking a goal or two, Lakin is a versatile player who steps up to do his role. He is a consistent top player in finals, having been best-on-ground in previous premiership
“Youth is a big thing in our favour and with that comes fitness; we have an even spread of strength across the field, so we are not relying on minimum players to do the whole job,” he said.
“The aim is always to make it to finals as it’s another stepping stone to a flag,” he said. “When you’re rocking up to training and it’s five degrees, the flag is what you dream and work towards all year.

A two-time Toohey Medallist, Delahunty is a wellknown name in the Wimmera football scene and is likely to put on another good performance this finals series. As the Burras’ main ruckman, he is a standout in the middle of the ground.
“I don’t think a whole lot of changes are needed for teams when you head into finals – we’ll train for our game plan throughout the week and depending on our opponent, train for them a little bit, too, to combat what they bring.”
Minyip-Murtoa started the season with every intention of being a strong con tender for finals and a flag, despite a slightly changed team list.

“At the start of the season we had five departures from last year’s team, so that was an unknown, as was how the A Grade competition would pan out with so many new-look teams,” she said. “But this is what we have been building towards. “With the effects of COVID and injuries, our team has been a work in progress, so to have made the finals is awesome.”
Toet said the versatility of players and commitment from all to the game could be what makes the difference for the Roos in this finals series.

“We know finals are a different story,” she“Wesaid.have been working on self-belief on and off the court and belief in the others in the team, so if we can build on that and capture it each time we play, we can win.
ore than 50 years since Dimboola last won an A Grade flag, the Roos have scrapped into finals by the skin of their teeth to give themselves a chance in 2022. After finishing third in 2021 and missing only one finals campaign since 2014, but not making it to the major game, this team might just be the one that breaks a very longLeavingdrought.the assurance of a finals berth to the last moment, Dimboola added its final four points to the ladder in round 18 with a two-goal win against Warrack Eagles. Without being the team to come clos est to beating Horsham in round 12, when the final score was a draw, the Roos would have missed out on the top five by percentage. A Grade coach Ant Toet said starting the season with several unknowns meant making the finals was more exciting.
Toet said Dimboola cherished the op portunity to play finals, with a 39-year gap between making the 2014 finals and the pre vious time the Roos were in the five.
Total:
A Grade coach Anthony Schache said the team had been slightly ‘up and down’ throughout the “We’ve been a bit inconsistent,” he said.
The Giants’ losing margins ranged from three goals to 19 goals, while their winning margins against other top-five teams ranged from one to 16 goals. They also drew with Stawell in round seven.
The 2021 Hatcher Medallist, Hayes is again an in tegral player in the squad. Through the centre she is a quick player who works hard for each posses sion. A tough opposition for any team.

Schache said to progress through the finals, each team across the draw would have to put its best foot forward each week.
“We’ve strung some good games together and played some pretty poor games, but we’ve given ourselves the opportunity now, so that’s really Schache plans to have a squad of 10 players
“We’ll do our homework on other teams, train re ally well and make sure we train under pressure as much as we can.

Mahindra has unveiled five new electric SUVs based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB plat form as the Indian manufacturer seeks to expedite its move toward battery-powered cars – and the range is tipped to make it into Australian showrooms.
The manufacturer says fuel economy returns of 5.0-litre per 100 kilometres are possible on the combined cycle us ing regular 91 RON unleaded petrol.
GWM says Australian sales are up 11.6 percent of where they were last year, the Haval Jolion making a ‘sig nificant contribution’ to the overall number with year-to-date sales of 3769 units, a 185 percent increase on 2021.
Mahindra did not specify the range of any of its five models.
Producing a range of new energy ve hicles, NEVs, is crucial to Mahindra as it seeks to break the dominance of rival Tata Motors in its home market. By 2027, Mahindra expects its NEV range to account for ‘between 20 and 30 percent of its total SUVMattsales’.Brogan
Speaking to GoAuto News, Mahin dra Automotive Australia marketing manager James Halliwell said with India being a right-hand drive market, Australian sales of the brand’s forth coming eSUVs were almost guaran teed.“Through the recent COVID-19 pe riod, Mahindra realised that with Gen eral Motors pulling out of right-hand drive markets, there was an oppor tunity for it to push towards markets including Australia, South Africa, the UK, Japan, and so on,” Mr Halliwell said.“Australia, along with South Africa, are priority export markets for Mahi ndra, and the new energy vehicles we have just announced are definitely on the“Thatradar.said, this is quite a forwardlooking statement given the arrival time of the models in question and related production schedules are still a couple of years out.
VW to underpin Mahindra EVs
“Mahindra received 25,000 reser vations for the XUV700 within one minute of the vehicle being available online, and 100,000 reservations in the first 30 minutes – that demand might see Australia’s launch time frame set back.”

The Haval Jolion Hybrid is differ entiated from its derivative range by a new front grille, front LED head and fog-lights with blue accents, a repro filed front bumper, new rear spoiler and 18-inch alloy wheels. Otherwise, the model shares the same specification and equipment lev els as the current Jolion Ultra.
GWM confirms Haval Jolion Hybrid
Previewed as part of an online pres entation last week, the forthcoming models will be sold under individual brand streams – XUV and BE – the design of each conceptualised at the Mahindra Advanced Design Europe facility in the UK. Mahindra, which is the second cus tomer for Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform after Ford, will begin pro duction of its first MEB-based SUV this year at its Cologne plant in Ger many. That model, the XUV.e8 is slated to go on sale from December 2024 and will be followed shortly after by the XEV.e9. The Mumbai-based company will release its BE-branded models pro gressively from October 2025, the trio named BE.05, BE.07 and BE.09 respectively.TheMEB-sourced platform – which will be reformed under the Inglo name by Mahindra – will offer battery ca pacity ranging from 60 to 80kWh and offer a fast-charging time of less than 30 minutes to achieve 80 percent capacity.
“Before then, and hopefully within the first half of next year, we’ll see the new Scopio-N and XUV700 arrive in Australia, but that timeframe, too, is unclear given the popularity of these vehicles in their home market.
“We’re very excited to see the XUVe and BE range released. The design will give us an edge, and Volkswa gen’s platform will provide the tech nology, safety and performance need ed to get us to market more quickly.”
Despite the potential delay, Mr Halli well said Mahindra was excited about the news of its first eSUVs for the Australian market and believes the combination of style and performance would foster strong sales for the range.
GWM Australia says the Jolion Hy brid is the second offering in an NEV range which is expected to grow fur ther in 2023, but stopped short of confirming just which model is next due in its showrooms. For now, the Haval Jolion Hybrid will sit atop the model range and features GWM’s 1.5-litre hybridised petrol engine mated to a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, DHT, to de liver combined outputs of 139kW and 375Nm.
Great Wall Motors Australia has announced the release of its Haval Jolion Hybrid for the local market.Slated to arrive next month, and priced from $40,990 drive-away, the small-segment SUV joins Haval’s larger H6 Hybrid as the second New Energy Vehicle, NEV, in the Chinese importer’s range.

Volkswagen board of management member Thomas Schmall said more than one million vehicles would be produced by Ford and Mahindra over the duration of the deal.
ON ITS WAY: The petrol-electric Haval Jolion will be on sale from early September, priced from $40,990 drive-away.
“The partnership not only demon strates that our platform business is highly competitive, but that the MEB is well on track to become one of the leading open platforms for e-mobili ty,” he said.
The hybrid model’s electronically controlled DHT unit is said to provide the Jolion with ‘excellent acceleration and performance from low speeds with increased efficiency and power at higher speeds’ to deliver a driving experience GWM says is ‘similar to that of a battery electric vehicle’. Like many similar hybrid vehicles, the Jolion can operate in a variety of modes including EV, Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid and Regeneration, with the DHT unit adjusted to offer maximum efficiency across all speed and load conditions, regardless of the drive mode selected.
PREVIEW: Mahindra will launch five MEB-based all-electric SUVs from 2024, with Australian sales likely.

LIANA THOMPSON CHIEF
Who Moved My Cheese? Part 4 Today, we summarise what it means to “have cheese” (to have the life we are seeking). Having cheese makes you happy. The more important your cheese is to you the more you want to hold on to it. We keep doing the same things over and over and wonder why things don’t get any better. If you do not change you can become extinct. What would you do if you weren’t afraid (Move in a new direction)? Let go and trust what lies ahead even if you do not know what that is (in God we can be absolutely confident that He who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Phil 1:6. As time goes by, we wonder have we done the right thing, should we give up, doubt can creep in. Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old, when is it time to change. Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese. When you stop being afraid you feel good. Imagine yourself enjoying your new cheese, actually leads you to it. Take time to dream a little. Change is the one constant in life. However, there is one truth that is even greater and that is the Lord Himself for the Scripture tells us that He changes not; Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 … He is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow. Maybe it was God who moved your cheese!!

After two interrupted seasons, the completion of Wimmera Hockey Association’s round 15 heralds the start of the first finals series since 2019. Anzac Park in Warracknabeal will host Saturday’s semi-finals, where three teams will earn a place in the grand finals, and three more will drop out of the premiership race. Yanac Tigers go into yet another semi-final undefeated, and it is dif ficult to see which of the three other teams remaining in the open division finals race could inflict their first loss inThe2022.first to try will be Kaniva Co bras, who, although they have lost to the Tigers in their three meetings so far this season, the margins are get ting smaller, from six goals in the first round to just one a couple of weeks ago. If this pattern continues, they could cause an upset, but the Tigers are focused on winning an unprece dented seventh consecutive title and will be hard to beat. The sudden-death semi-final fea tures Warrack Hoops and Horsham Hurricanes.TheHoops take better form into the game, having won four and drawn one of their past six matches, while the Hurricanes have only won one match in this time.
The Hurricanes have had a frustrat ing season, putting in some impressive performances for their six wins, but have been disappointing in their nine losses; while the Hoops have only lost two and drawn two matches since they started their season with an uncharac teristic three losses in a row. Recent consistency suggests the Hoops should go into this game as fa vourites, but if the Hurricanes fire, the Hoops will have to play at their best to progress to the preliminary final. In the women’s competition, Kaniva and Yanac meet in the second semi-fi nal.Having been denied their first real chance to play for a premiership final last year, the Kaniva players will have the incentive of some unfinished busi ness from 2021 to spur them on over the next three weeks.
Horsham Jets and Nhill Thunder birds booked the first semi-final. Both the Jets and Thunderbirds have lacked consistency this season, play ing well when they have their full roster, but falling away quickly when missing key players. If both teams can take their best line-ups into this game, the Jets, who have defeated the ’Birds twice so far this year at this venue, should be able to keep their season alive for another week.Rarely has one goal in a season proven to be as significant as the one scored by Nhill Leopards against Yanac Warriors on Saturday in the under-16 competition. With the Yanac team undefeated in 12 games and not conceding a goal in the first 11, the Leopards will have gained a huge confidence boost ahead of their meeting again this Saturday from scoring just once. Considering their record, it is still difficult to see the Warriors dropping this match, but they will still have to play well against an opponent with nothing to lose. Horsham Bombers and Warrack Re vengers meet in the first semi-final. Neither the Bombers nor Revengers have shown much consistency this season, and although the Bombers have won two of their three previous encounters by large margins, those games were on the artificial turf at Dimboola, but their one match-up on a grass field resulted in a much more even one-all draw, so this match is too close to call as it could go either way.
FOCUS: Warrack Hoops’ Mark Peters looks to clear the ball before Kaniva’s Beau Lovett can lay a tackle. Picture: SIMON KING
Yanac has the experience of being a regular finalist throughout the past de cade, but Kaniva’s record of 11 wins and just one loss from 12 matches this year makes them a worthy favourite in what will be a top match regardless of the result.

Campbell wins in Stawell Ironbarks
BY DAVID BERRY Molly Hobbs’ Heidelberg will be out to break into the top-five of the women’s competition tonight when they take on Mercedes Arnott’s Rangers. In a clash between fifth and second, Hobbs will be keen to continue her team’s good form from last week when it accounted for Volley roos in straight sets. But it will come up against a team that is also in good form and has its eyes on the top posi tion on the ladder. The gloves will be off when the two clash in the first game of the evening. Heidelberg has been building with new play ers Lydia Schneider, Jess Dawson and Brodie Jenkins finding their feet. Rangers are similar in that they, too, have new players getting the feel for the game in Bacara Arnott and Rachel McQueen.
The second game sees top-of-the-table Nug gets taking on third-placed Academy Team Turner.EllaVan Duren had a breakout game for the Nuggets last week, serving her opponents off the court and setting up her team for a big win. But Grace Turner’s academy team pushed the Rangers all the way last week and would have learned a lot from that defeat, which will put them in good stead for tonight’s clash. Both teams are stacked with young talent –Van Duren, Clare Whyte and Mikaela Wright for the Nuggets and Turner, Paige Hemley and Greta Van for the academy team – so a close contest ensures.
The difference between the two will be how well the experienced players bring their new players into the game. The unpredictable na ture of how these new players perform will be the key for both teams.
The women set the tone for the evening with A Grade and A Reserve also featuring many close and hard-fought games.
A perfect day for a 16-kilometre run greeted the Stawell Amateur Athletic Club field for the David O. Jones Mitre 10 Handicap. Two laps of the figure-eight course in the middle of the Iron barks saw Angus Campbell with the fastest time of 1.05.00. He is training for the Cairns to Port Douglas Ultra 120-kilome tre trail run and spending plenty of time in the Ironbarks training for the upcoming event. With six weeks until the Mel bourne marathon, many runners are completing long runs at this time of the year. The handicap order matched the run times with Drew Chris tian taking the win, Nathan Bak er second and Shaun Ellis third. Christian has been very consis tent this season and might be in line for some trophies at the pre sentation night on September 10. The club will meet at Halls Gap cricket oval at 9.30am on Saturday for the Lois Tremble five-kilometre King and Queen of the Mountain.

THROUGH THE HOOP: Horsham Croquet Club has officially opened the 2022-23 croquet season with more than 20 players turning out to play. The club is part of Wimmera Croquet Association, which opened its season two weeks ago. Vice-president Lyn Creasey said members mainly played golf croquet. “We enjoy a lot of companionship here and anybody who wants to come along and learn will get plenty of help,” she said. The club meets to play on Tuesday mornings and Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Pictured, Horsham Rural City Council mayor Robyn Gulline runs the first hoop of the Horsham Croquet Club season, with members excited to get the season underway.
Grand final teams from last season, Hellenic Nuggets and Heidelberg, are setting the pace in A Grade while Heidelberg has hit the ground running in A Reserve with Horsham College’s senior student team Blockbusters hot on their heels.Members are reminded of the need to get their tickets tonight for Friday’s trivia night so catering can be arranged. Junior members are reminded that spots in the Melbourne Vipers training camp are filling fast, with juniors from across Western Victoria already registering their interest in attending. For details on either event follow the associ ation’s social media platforms.
The final game sees the Volleyroos taking on Academy Team Barnett. The Volleyroos are still searching for their first win but should have a more stable team available to take on the younger academy girls.
Gloves are off
Alison Vaughan, Cass Roberts and Lily Snowden give their all for the Volleyroos each week, while the academy girls will look to Kylie Angue to continue her good setting form and Sophie Quick and Paige Millar to hit plenty of winners. The new-look women’s competition has been a success to date, with plenty of fun had by the players amid an enjoyable and less pressurised atmosphere.

BY JONATHAN BOX Week one of Mininera and District league finals saw a very close game between Lis more-Derrinallum and Tatyoon, and saw Woorndoo-Mortlake end the finals series for Glenthomp son-Dunkeld.Thisweek’s qualifying final will see Tatyoon take on Ararat Eagles. These teams only met once during the regular season – a game that resulted in Ararat coming away sev en-goal victors. But both teams have played a lot of football since. The Eagles will come into the game well rested after a week off. They will be hungry and deter mined to get the upper hand over Tat ty early and run through with another win and straight into the grand final. All eyes will be on the Eagles star players who have been leading the way for their team each week. Players such as Damian Joiner, Jay do Wright, Naish McRoberts, Tom and Jackson Taurau, Ben Robertson and Zac Jenkins will be eager to show off their skill and ability and get the win. Tatyoon is not without its own list of star Kieranplayers.Collins, William Henderson and Anthony Rosato have all been consistently in the best each week, and put them in with their already solid group of locals such as David Brady, Sean McDougall and Jack Fraser, to name a few, will prove to be another great contest worthy of finals.Lismore-Derrinallum was pipped at the post in last Saturday’s game, go ing down to Tatyoon by two points. Michael Lockyer had another day out in front of goal, booting six, and with the support of Brodie Doolan, Charlie Brett, Rory Nunn and Jack Atkins put up a good fight. They play Woorndoo-Mortlake in a do-or-die clash on Sunday. The Tigers had a slow start on Sunday, only managing three points in the first quarter compared with Glenthompson-Dunkeld’s twostraightHowevergoals.the Rams’ lead was short lived as Woorndoo came out firing on all cylinders to boot eight goals to two in the second and continued to dominate to finish as 10-goal victors.
Great contests forecast
“With a new indoor court for local com petitions, Ararat will be even better placed to boost participation rates and meet the current and future needs of basketball lo cally,” he said.
“Ararat Fitness centre will continue to bring people together through community sport and provide more opportunities for local residents to embrace an active life style.”
Court ready for action
Renovations included improved drainage and ventilation underneath new Tasmanian oakAraratfloorboards.RuralCity Council chief execu tive Tim Harrison said one of the major challenges with sporting facilities was de livering a flooring system that meets the requirements of the community, at the highest levels of performance.
“Council recognised the existing flooring had been problematic from the start; we had issues with the flooring due to poor drainage and ventilation,” he said.
Ararat Fitness Centre’s refurbished indoor basketball court is ready to be the host of many sporting events for years to come.
“Over a period of three months, we worked closely with Ace Flooring to un dertake works to replace the existing floor.”
Jacob O’Beirne and Gage Wright were best players for the Saints.
The Burras played consistently all game and their defensive pressure ensured Nhill scored points in the second half.

BY ABBY WALTER Horsham and Dimboola sen ior football teams have given themselves a shot at finals, after coming away with wins in round 18 to secure fourth and fifth posi tion on the ladder, respectively. Stawell’s missed opportunity for a goal after the final siren saw Horsham win by four points following a close four quarters of football. Both teams struggled to get a high score on the board and it was a tough contest through the middle. Stawell was in front at every break until the fourth quarter when Horsham secured a lead and narrowly main tained it to win and keep their top-five position by percentage.
The Roos have beaten the Demons on both occasions the two have met, but Horsham is coming off wins against two of the top three sides and that confidence will be hard to shake. Both teams will have to give it their all to continue their finals campaign and make it to the second semi-final.
While Southern Mallee Giants saw a win against Saints, they weren’t able to break into the top five this year and missed out on finals by percentage. The Giants had an early lead and by half time were five goals up.

It will be the highest-stakes game for Jeparit-Rainbow in several seasons on Sunday, with the Storm now confirmed to play HarrowBalmoral in a knock-out Horsham District league semi-final. With the Southern Roos having con firmed its senior football side under achieved this home-and-away season after a crude win against Swifts at Edenhope at the weekend, the Storm has a mountain to climb to secure a preliminary berth after its win against Edenhope-Apsley.Harrow-Balmoral kept the Baggies to one goal, while kicking nine goals, nine behinds, in the first half of foot ball.Unfortunately, it got worse for the Baggies – a lot worse. Nick Pekin’s men were even more punishing after the main break, and while they did let the Swifts put through three times as many goals as they had in the first half, the South ern Roos added 95 points to its tally during the same time. James Staude caused the most dam age, with seven majors by the game’s end, backed by a large troop of for ward-creeping midfielders and utili ty players who all contributed small handfuls themselves. Big man Simon Close kicked three, as did Clinton Robinson and Gregory Hamilton, while Will Burbury and Tom Conheady kicked two each. Swifts coach Brett Hargreaves said given his side had not suffered any big losses all season, this one was ‘hard to cop’. “It was pretty tough out there. At quarter time it felt like we were still in it and they had just been able to score more easily than us. At half time we knew we were really up against it,” he“Honestlysaid. it was tough for us, and it was just one of those games where it didn’t really matter what was said or what we did, we just couldn’t negate the outcome. “Harrow had come out to make a statement. I think finishing third had hurt their ego a bit and they were clearly there to send a message to the top-two sides that they are still number one – and I agree, I think they mightHargreavesbe.” said the loss was ‘obvi ously disheartening’ but with a young side that had a lack of senior footy and finals experience, there was an oppor tunity to learn from the loss. “We fell down around the stoppage and they held their structures that en abled them to feed the ball well to the outside,” he said. “We will get over it. We are a young side and we were happy to be there. “The good majority of the side is under 22, and given COVID inter ruptions, the majority of our list has played no senior finals or even a full season since they were teenagers.

ON THE RUN: Swifts’ Scott Carey looks for his left foot during his side’s 132-point loss to Harrow-Balmoral in an elimination final at Edenhope at the weekend.
“I think Harrow is coming back,” heBacksaid.to the Storm’s elimination-final success, the Storm was able to con tinually stretch its margins through out the day, and a six-goal-to-one third quarter just about sealed Eden hope-Apsley’s season. The final quarter was an even affair, but the Saints were unable to claw back any of the deficit. A 48-point loss would disappoint the Saints’ lead ership.TheStorms’ Jay Kirwood was the only significant multiple goal-scorer, with a spattering of singles from their midfielders and half forwards enough to secure a semi-final this weekend.TheSunday game between the Storm and Southern Roos will follow the Saturday qualifying final between Rupanyup and Kalkee. Saturday will be a test of the Kees’ real capacities despite a good season and the knowledge they were the only side to put a loss in the Panthers’ col umn in 2022. But a qualifying final is different than a round three dust up. A second chance in the Kees’ back pocket might not mean too much given their recent history with the Southern Roos, a side most likely their match-up if they cannot get it done against the Panthers this week end. This week: Second-semi final on Saturday at Balmoral, Rupanyup v Kalkee; first-semi final on Sunday at Laharum, Harrow-Balmoral v Jeparit-Rainbow.
“I think the season was just a little bit too long for us in the end and we ran out of Hargreaves’steam.”projection about the Southern Roos was telling for the Storm, who they play on Sunday, as well as Kalkee and Rupanyup.
