Cash boost for community groups

TROLLEYS for the Warrnambool and District Foodshare ware-house and signage for the Woolsthorpe Mechanics Institute are among a long list of recent council funding allocations.

More than $100,000 has been awarded to local community groups in the final round of grants from Moyne Shire council’s community assistance fund.

At a meeting earlier this week, councillors endorsed $71,545 in matched funding to groups across the shire for projects over $5000 – ranging from new spectator shelters and footpaths through to barbecue facilities and scoreboards.

Mayor Karen Foster said the community assistance fund was an important way of supporting community groups with their projects.

“I always look forward to these rounds because it’s so important to support groups, clubs and organisations to make their facilities better and make improvements for the community,” she Foster said.

“This was the final round for this allocation. Across the year we have provided $263,993 in funding to groups across the width and breadth of the shire for a huge range of projects and equipment purchases.”

A further $37,659 was awarded in the final round of the under $5000 category.

Groups and projects to receive funding included the following:

Friends of St Brigids - $14,803 for a new entrance to create safer entry and exit;

Garvoc and District Residents Group - $6649 to install accessible footpath links to the barbecue pad at the rear of the facility;

Northern Raiders Cricket Club - $13,573 to purchase and install an electronic scoreboard;

Panmure Football Netball Club - $6520 to purchase and install a barbecue area adjacent to the playground in the reserve;

Illowa Tennis Club - $4317 to purchase spectator seating and signage;

Mosswood Wildlife, Koroit - $1978 to purchase and install screen doors to animal shelters for rehabilitating koalas and possums;

Rotary Club of Port Fairy - $2000 to purchase a storage cupboard and compressor fridge/freezer;

Toolong Community Centre - $3789 to purchase equipment for storage and to create a user-friendly environment for all ages and abilities;

Warrnambool and District Foodshare - $4139 to purchase trolleys for the warehouse;

Woolsthorpe Cemetery Trust - $2158 to purchase and install a gazebo and water tank on a concrete pad for shelter;

Woolsthorpe Mechanics Institute - $4500 to purchase hall signage to attract hirers.

Popular priest relocates

PARISHIONERS from St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Port Fairy recently said farewell to popular priest, Father John Corrigan.

The WarrnamboolWeekly is a member of the Regional Media Connect.

Father Corrigan has relocated to Mildura following his appointment as assistant priest to the parishes of Mildura, Merbein and Red Cliffs.

The popular member of the Port Fairy community had played an important role in the development of the district over the past three years and will be greatly missed.

The parish credits him with the smooth transition of merging the Catholic communities of Warrnambool, Dennington, Koroit and Port Fairy into one Parish which is now collectively

known as ‘Star of the Sea’ - a name chosen by Father John himself.

His departure leaves a hole in the heart of many St Patrick’s parishioners who developed a fondness for his lively, enthusiastic and kind-hearted personality.

Although originally from Ballarat, Father John holds a special place in his heart for the Warrnambool region as most of his family are based there.

Always dressed in traditional priesthood attire, parishioners were impressed that someone so young had developed such profound faith and clarity about the purpose of his life.

It was noted that Father John demonstrated a truly selfless lifelong commitment to God

and the church which extended into the everyday lives of his parishioners.

Visiting the sick, making home visits to distribute Holy Communion and being a shoulder to lean on, Father John also performed weekly Masses and Sacraments, united to form a somewhat modern, holistic approach to caring for the well-being of his parishioners.

Despite his heavy emotional workload, Father John is capable of finding positivity and spiritual insight in most situations and left Port Fairy in this frame of mind.

He also acknowledged his sadness at leaving behind his parishioners, the community so close to where his family is based and the place he has

come to call home. His compassion, generosity and commitment to the Parish of Port Fairy and the town itself will be sadly missed.

The forgotten list

THE state budget offers very little for the residents of the South West Coast, according to local MP Roma Britnell. Details of the proposed budget were released earlier this week and the Member for South West Coast said she was “disappointed” several major projects in the local area had not been allocated funding.

Ms Britnell criticised the Andrews Labor Government’s state budget for a lack of funding across the electorate, stating many important projects had not received the support they deserved and vital services were not being adequately funded.

She said among the “forgotten list” was the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club.

Ms Britnell said she was disappointed the redevelopment of the club was not in the Budget.

“The Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club is an essential community asset that provides vital support to beachgoers in the region,” she said.

“The club is in urgent need of redevelopment to be able to meet the growing demands for its services and to provide a safer and more accessible facility for the community and its members. The government’s refusal to provide funding for this is a let down for our community.”

The Lookout (Residential Alcohol and Other Drug Rehabilitation Centre) is another facility which has also not received funding in the state budget.

“With no residential rehabilitation facility west of Geelong, the people of Western Victoria are again forced to abandon their communities, support networks and treatment teams in order to access the life-changing treatment provided by residential rehabilitation programs,” Ms Britnell claimed.

“The people of South West Coast are paying more under this government yet they are not receiving the vital

services they urgently need.

“I will not give up on The Lookout and the people who need access to a residential rehabilitation facility. I urge the government to reconsider its decision and to provide funding for The Lookout in the 2023 Victorian State Budget.”

Ms Britnell also highlighted the apparent lack of funding allocated to the government’s election promise of a new childcare facility in Portland.

“The Portland community desperately requires new childcare spaces. While the budget includes an unknown amount of funding for a new government-owned childcare centre, there is no detail in the budget to back that promise.”

She believes there is a “dire need” for additional childcare services in Portland so parents can return to work and fill the town’s labour shortages.

“The government has continually promised Portland a new childcare facility yet its budget doesn’t tell us how or when Portland will receive one.”

Another issue of concern for local residents, according to Ms Britnell, is the need for an expanded multi-purpose sports facility in Portland.

“There is a clear need for such a facility in that town, which is why it was committed to before the November 2022 state election by myself,” she said.

“However, the government has completely ignored this. The community has waited years for much-needed investment in more indoor multi-purpose courts. We need to keep kids happy and healthy in local sport.

“I won’t stop fighting for our community until we see the funding for roads, services and infrastructure that our region deserves.

“Regional areas like South West Coast have had their infrastructure needs forgotten. Our sporting grounds need redevelopment, investment in public housing is failing to keep up with demand and our outdoor

recreation facilities all need improvements.”

In addition to these important projects, Ms Britnell called on the government to allocate adequate funding for regional roads in the region, which have witnessed years of insufficient funding.

“Our roads are in a state of disrepair, and it’s time for the Andrews Labor Government to recognise the importance of investing in this critical infrastructure. Adequate funding for regional roads will make our communities safer.”

FOR a truly unique experience, garden lovers and others keen on learning more about Australia’s native bush food plants should head to the Worn Gundidj Nursery.

Located in Rooneys Road, Warrnambool, the nursery boasts an intriguing range of bush food plants that have been carefully chosen and cultivated to thrive in their natural habitat.

This not-for-profit enterprise is First Peoples-led and focuses on delivering better outcomes for staff, customers, the community and local environment.

“Our customers love discovering our native nursery plants,” nursery managers Chantal and Pete said.

“We use local native seeds, which are sourced from diverse eco-systems, to propagate our hardy plant range.

“This provides unique value to our community and commercial customers.”

The Worn Gundidj Nursery supplies plants for revegetation projects, shelter belts, sustainable gardens, agriculture and land care and conservation work.

As the leading stockist of plants native to the Great South West, the team at Worn Gundidj can deliver stock for projects big and small.

“Our staff can help you identify the plants you need whether that be native, drought resistant, environmentally or insect friendly,” Chantal said.

“We have a range of specialist plants which are perfect for landscaping your home, revegetation and agricultural projects.”

The nursery team at Worn Gundidj are friendly and welcoming, and are happy to discuss what plants best suit your garden and environment.

“We support First Peoples job seekers and community members experiencing disadvantage,” Pete said.

“We offer a raft of social engagement programs throughout the nursery as well as employment and participation opportunities; working closely with local councils and community groups.”

The nursery is open from 9am-4.30pm weekdays. Phone 0428 318 876 for more information or to place your order.

Grants open for events and festivals events and festivals

UP to $130,000 in funding is now available from Warrnambool City Council for local festivals and events.

The Festivals and Events Grants and Sponsorship Program allows small and medium events to apply for grants of up to $5000 while large festivals and events can apply for up to $10,000.

Established, recurring events that are considered part of the fabric of the Warrnambool events calendar can also apply for sponsorship via this program.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Debbie Arnott encouraged existing event organisers, as well as anyone with an idea for a new event, to have a look at the program.

“At council, we recognise the vital role events play in making our city a popular visitor destination, as well as a fun and vibrant place to live,” she said.

“We support, partner, facilitate and deliver about 150 events every year.

“These grants aim to build on what is already a wonderfully diverse events calendar delivered by passionate, talented people and organisations.

“Especially for a smaller event, this grant could potentially cover most of the costs, so if you have a vision and the commitment to bring your event to life, we’re here to help you succeed.”

Warrnambool City Council acting director city growth, Luke Coughlan, said funding had been combined from a number of different sources to create a streamlined process that would make planning easier for event organisers.

“The recently introduced Activate Warrnambool Grants are being combined with funding previously allocated for events via the Community Development Fund, with a new category for business events and conferences included for the first time,” he said.

“Having one, larger program makes things more straightforward for event organisers looking for council funding, and from our perspective, it gives us more clarity on what the city’s events calendar looks like and how it aligns with our overall events strategy.”

First introduced as part of council’s COVID recovery program, Activate Warrnambool Grants provide seed funding for new events that take place outside the peak tourism season.

“Activate Warrnambool was so well received by the community and led to the birth of some really great events,” Mr Coughlan said.

“We are now enshrining it as an ongoing part of our events funding mix, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the exciting proposals put forward.

“Additionally, we made the decision to introduce a separate category for business events and conferences to try and attract more of these types of events to Warrnambool.

“As well as providing professional development

opportunities to people in our region that they would normally have to travel for, business events and conferences are usually held on weekdays and during off-peak times.”

Mr Coughlan said attendees usually spend one or more nights in the city, providing an important economic boost during quieter times.

Applications for funding opened on Monday, May 22 and will close on Sunday, June 18.

CFA calls for volunteers

WHETHER you prefer to work quietly behind the scenes, or out where the action is, being a volunteer is one of the most rewarding and selfless ways to give back to your community.

Volunteers are the heart of any community. They give countless unpaid hours in an endless variety of ways, through many clubs, groups, charities and other organisations.

This month, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) is asking regional Victorians to ‘Give Us a Hand’ in an effort to recruit new volunteers to join its 52,000 community-minded members in protecting lives and property across the state.

The call out is part of a new volunteer recruitment campaign which aims to encourage selfless Victorians to take up a firefighting or support role with their local CFA brigade.

Whether you’re looking to make the most of your spare time, are new to your community, or just want to be part of a group of like-minded people, CFA brigades have flexible volunteering arrangements and diverse roles to suit anyone’s skills and needs.

Warrnambool CFA captain Tom Woodhams has this week urged locals to get behind the brigade and become a volunteer.

“There are many roles to fill within the CFA; it’s not just about being on the ground fighting fires,” Tom said.

“Since this new facility opened on Mortlake Road back in 2016, we have been co-located with Fire Rescue Victoria which works well.

“Today we have about 33 volunteers on our books and from that about 15-17 are active members. We would love to see this number grow and welcome new volunteers.”

Career firefighters at the station, of which there are about 50 or so, currently operate around the clock with 10-member shifts, attending around 600 call-outs per year.

Because of the level of full-time staff at the Warrnambool station, there has been a slight reduction in the demands placed on volunteers, however, it is all about making full use of the commitment of those who give back to their community.

“Becoming a volunteer, whether that be through the CFA or any other local club, group or organisation is so

rewarding,” Tom said.

“We hold weekly meetings and training sessions and along with fire and other emergency call-outs we also support other brigades and fundraise to ensure we have the equipment that not only we need, but so we can support others in the district.”

The brigade’s fundraising efforts for equipment includes fire hose maintenance and servicing in the southern half of district five, and a fire extinguisher maintenance and servicing business.

The brigade recently contributed $135,000 towards a new truck which should arrive in the coming weeks.

“We have a mobile communications vehicle (one of only three in the state), two tankers and a well-equipped BA (breathing apparatus) trailer.

“We have all the gear, and are in a great financial position, we would just love to have more active volunteers within the brigade.”

A recruitment drive just before COVID hit the state saw almost a dozen locals go through the recruitment course; of those, four finished the course – but two have since moved interstate.

“We would love to hold another recruitment course and to also get local kids involved in our junior development program which is aimed at 11 to 16 year olds.”

The junior program involves a range of fun learning activities at the station, which also leads to participation in the CFA junior competitions over summer.

“We would love to see new faces at the brigade and welcome men, women and children to participate in our various programs,” Tom said.

There is currently more than 1200 CFA brigades across Victoria, responding to a range of emergency incidents and serving communities every day.

From high angle rescues, structure, grass and scrub fires to hazmat and road crash rescues, no two days are the same.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan believes the CFA is a great place to volunteer, meet new people and learn new skills.

“Volunteers are the backbone of the firefighting and emergency response network across Victoria,” he said.

“We are calling on all community-minded individuals who

are looking for a new challenge to consider joining their local brigade and apply their expertise and knowledge to CFA.

“Whether you want to jump on the truck and respond to incidents, or take up a brigade support position, we’ll find a role that suits you and your brigade.”

Brigades are most commonly looking for people from all backgrounds who have the capacity to take up roles as daytime responders and are particularly interested in hearing from young people who want to make a difference within their community.

“The rewards of being a CFA volunteer are immeasurable and our members make a real difference in their communities,” chief officer Heffernan said.

Anyone interested in joining or learning more can visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteer.

Once you’ve submitted your expression of interest form online, your local brigade will contact you regarding the next steps.

Becoming a CFA volunteer: Your burning questions

CFA is an iconic Victorian organisation, represented and recognised in communities across the state. Becoming a CFA volunteer can be exciting as it connects you with your community and equips you with new skills you can apply to so many aspects of your life. This National Volunteer Week, CFA is asking you to “Give Us a Hand”.

We’ve compiled a list of common questions for potential volunteers. If you’re interested in finding out more visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteers.

Who can join CFA?

CFA welcomes all members of the community over the age of 16. Some brigades also run a Junior Volunteer Development Program for 11 to 15 year-olds.

What will I get out of being part of CFA?

Training in a broad range of skills, leadership opportunities, unique experiences, new friends and the opportunity to give back to your community.

What do CFA volunteers do?

CFA firefighters respond to a range of incidents including wildfire, structural fires, road accidents, rescues, hazardous material incidents, floods and other emergencies. But there are a range of other volunteer roles that involve building local relationships, engagement and education activities, fundraising, events, brigade publicity, administration, logistical and financial support, health and safety, training, junior program leaders, and more.

Can I still volunteer if I have a full-time job or children at home?

Yes, you can. For firefighters, most training and meetings are conducted on weeknights or weekends, and you can discuss your availability with your local brigade. The time you volunteer is often very flexible, and will depend on your role, brigade and the time of year.

How close do I have to live or work to a CFA brigade to be a member?

Generally, you need to live or work reasonably close to your local brigade.

As a firefighter you must live or work close enough to your brigade to be able to get to the brigade and then the incident location. Brigades have requirements for how quickly they should get to an incident. There is more flexibility for support volunteers, whocan live further away but are often preferred to be local to attend meetings and events. You can find your nearest brigade by entering your address in the Expression of Interest form on the CFA website.

I’m interested, how do I apply to volunteer?

You can apply online by filling out an expression of interest form at www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteer. Once you’ve submitted your application, your local brigade will contact you regarding the next steps.

How many hours a week will I have to commit to?

The time commitment will depend on your brigade and the type of role that you choose, so it’s best to talk with your brigade for more information. CFA encourages flexibility for its volunteers, and your level of involvement will depend on your personal availability, together with brigade and community needs.

What does it cost to become a CFA volunteer?

There is no monetary cost to become a CFA volunteer. However, volunteering means you are supporting your brigade by travelling to and from the station, meetings, events, and attending incidents.All training, equipment and protective clothing is provided by CFA as needed.

How do I balance volunteering with work or business commitments?

Many employers across Victoria take a socially responsible approach to volunteering by allowing their employees to commit time to their CFA role during business hours if required.

If you’re thinking of becoming a CFA volunteer, you should discuss with your employer what sort of leave or flexible working arrangements can be put in place to allow you to balance any work and CFA duties.

Employers and self-employed volunteers are so important to CFA, for without their understanding and support, CFA would not be able to function as effectively as it does.

If I want to be a firefighter, how long will training take?

If you want to become a firefighter, essential training must be completed before you are able to respond to an incident. This is to ensure that you have the right skills and safety knowledge to be an active firefighter. The length of time will depend thistakes on your brigade training schedules and your own availability. You can discuss with your brigade. As a CFA volunteer you’ll learn many different skills, some of which are specific to your chosen role and many of which are applicable to other parts of your life.

Are there any fitness or skill requirements to join CFA?

Operational firefighting roles can involve physically challenging activities, so an appropriate level of fitness is required to undertake these roles, however this can be discussed with your local brigade to determine your suitability for this role. For support volunteers, there are no specific prior skill requirements, but your life experience will be valued within the brigade. Depending on the role, there may be some training expectations that can all be completed through CFA’s training programs.

THE Warrnambool Storytelling

Festival returns next month with a star-studded line-up of south west talent encompassing more than 30 events over a threeweek period.

The festival enters its third year with a diverse array of artistic performances, all of which unite on the shared ideal of telling fascinating, inspiring and evocative stories.

Warrnambool Storytelling Festival committee chair Philip Liebelt said this year’s events focused on telling many stories across many mediums.

Music, film, art and literature will coalesce across topics including culture, philosophy, religion and faith, the human experience, history and environment.

There will also be comedy, magic, poetry, costumes and even reading with a dog.

“We will explore a range of storytelling in a range of different ways,” Mr Liebelt said.

“We’ve got cultural stories, including the screening of a film which focuses on important moments in the early life of Peek Wurrung Elder Uncle Rob Lowe.

“We’ll have two panels discussing the creative process, with a panel of comedian and presenter Tom Ballard, distinguished editor Janet Blagg, prolific author Paul Jennings AM and lecturer and author Dr Gordon Forth.

“Because of the success of the literary panel, this year we’re also doing an artist equivalent featuring prominent south west artists to discuss the artistic process.”

Mr Liebelt was one of the founding members of the Warrnambool Storytelling Festival, who saw the concept have success elsewhere and knew there was a contribution the south west could make.

“When I retired and returned to Warrnambool in 2019 I had been in the Glen Eira City Council area for five years, and they have a thriving storytelling festival,” he said.

“I saw how well that went, and I was keen to bring something like that here.

“There are a lot of wonderful groups here but a lot is not done together, and I thought it would be great to have a united event which drew on as many groups as possible.

“That’s part of the reason the festival isn’t held at the one site, it’s across a range of different venues with different events.”

As the festival enters its third year, it has expanded to run over three weeks to avoid scheduling clashes and make the festival more accessible.

“If people want to go to one thing, they can. If they want to go to all of it, they can,” Mr Liebelt said.

“One of the differences we’ve noticed this year is more people are coming to us and wanting to be involved, where as starting off we had to be more proactive in approaching people.

“There will be some children’s events, but this is not a festival just for children.

“I’d be very surprised if anyone can’t find a story which intrigues them.”

Mother inspires

THE love and bond between a mother and son are forever lasting, and that could not be more evident than through the music produced by Ben Witham and The Betty Band.

Ben’s late mother Betty, who he fondly refers to as a “brilliant musician,” continues to inspire him on his musical journey through his creation of songs about love, loss, finding meaning, the natural world and confronting injustices.

With more than four decades of song writing experience, and having performed at countless Victorian and south-west events, Ben has dedicated his life to bringing original folk-rock and blues tunes to music lovers of all ages.

“I draw inspiration from artists such as James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen along with several complex storytellers,” he said.

“My songs are a rich and diverse mix of both bright and uplifting tunes, as well as those with darker and more serious themes.”

The band name is a tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2003.

Betty Witham was a highly accomplished Warrnambool pianist and church organ player from the 1950s to the 1990s.

For more than 30 years she was the Warrnambool Theatre Group’s pianist and the pipe organist for the Christ Church, Church of England.

“Mum was very musical and a great inspiration,” Ben said.

“Her tenacity to practice really complex music inspires me to really work hard with my keyboard and guitar and on my music.

“Music became a powerful bond between us and I have many fond memories as an adult of mum playing classical and popular songs from our times together.”

That inspiration clearly shines through Ben’s performances on-stage, and audiences will no doubt get a glimpse of that raw emotion when Ben and his band appear at Warrnambool’s Lighthouse Theatre on Saturday June 17.

This not-to-be-missed show is guaranteed to provide audiences with an entertaining night of folk rock, blues and jazz.

Crazy classrooms

CRAZY hair colours and styles was the order of the day at Warrnambool West Primary School last week.

Friday capped off a fun-filled week of activities as the school community celebrated Education Week.

A ‘crazy hair and be yourself dress-up’ proved a big hit among students, who also celebrated and showed support for the school’s education support staff, all of which go above and beyond to ensure the needs of every child are met.

A special assembly included the singing of ‘You are our Sunshine’ and ES staff were each presented with sunflowers and positive affirmation booklets in appreciation.

Active start to the day

THE school day got off to a great start for children at St Patrick’s in Koroit when they took part in ‘Walk Safely to School Day’ last Friday.

Despite drizzling rain and cold temperatures children were keen to take the short walk to school, with groups gathering at Daly’s IGA and Towerhill Lookout.

Students enjoyed a healthy breakfast before heading into class.

Forward planning

MOYNE Shire council has its sights set on the future needs of the area, with the inclusion of an infrastructure future fund in this week’s draft budget.

Releasing details of the draft earlier this week, mayor Karen Foster said the budget was a responsible and financially prudent document which looked to the future, took into account the financial pressures facing the community and delivered the priorities of the Council Plan.

“As a group we put it (the infrastructure future fund) forward and said this was something we wanted to do as a bit of a rainy-day fund that can be drawn on in the future if needed,” Cr Foster said.

“It’s probably not normal for politicians to look too far beyond the election cycle, but this is about ensuring there is money

there for community projects or asset upgrades into the future.

“The economic situation at a state and federal level isn’t great and there’s a chance government grants that we have used recently to fund projects may start to dry-up.

“Moyne has a huge number of assets which need to be maintained or improved, so rather than just hoping that there will be government funding into the future, we wanted to make sure there was a fund there that could be drawn on if needed.”

Cr Foster said it was hoped the council would be able to add to the fund as it went along, building it up to where it could be a “great fall-back for the future with the challenges that await us.”

Helping others stay warm

WINTER days and nights will be that little bit warmer thanks to a team of young volunteers.

The young people are on a mission to collect as many items of warm clothing, and blankets, as they can to help the less fortunate – while keeping textiles out of landfill.

The project, which is part of the 2023 Green Futures Now program, was facilitated by Warrnambool City Council.

The leadership program is open for young people between the ages of 12 and 25 and aims to build knowledge and empower participants to explore solutions to address environmental issues.

Group member Edward Higgins said that donating clothes and blankets was a simple measure people could take to make a difference in their community while keeping useful items out of landfill.

“We thought that a clothes drive would be an easy thing for people to do,” Edward said.

“People can donate old winter clothes and they can be used by people who might be disadvantaged in winter.”

Globally, Australia is the second highest consumer of textiles per person, and the initiative also hopes to encourage people to think about the number of items they buy, and to consider the full life cycle of each product.

The longer an item can be used,

the longer is stays out of landfill and, importantly, the number of items needed to fulfil the same role is reduced.

This decreases landfill volumes as well as emissions involved in the manufacturing and distribution of clothing.

“When clothes go into landfill they produce greenhouse gases as they decompose,” Edward said.

Salvation Army Warrnambool is partnering with Green Futures Now on the project, and Ministry assistant Chris Philpot said that a clothing drive was especially timely with the colder weather now setting in.

“Winter is a difficult time of year for a lot of local people,” he said.

“For those who don’t have a lot of

finances to spare, things like winter energy bills are especially challenging.

“Something to keep them warm during the day, or especially at night, is really helpful. In some countries they can’t even burn their textiles so it’s great to see things getting a second life.”

Mr Philpot said it was great to see young people exploring the issues many faced as adults, and helping to make a positive difference in the world for people who were marginalised financially.

Any good condition winter clothing items and blankets can be dropped off at the Archie Graham Community Centre, the Warrnambool library, Aquazone or the Warrnambool undercover Sunday market until Monday, June 5.

Community garden funding

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL

WARRNAMBOOL’S thriving community gardens were bolstered in this week’s Victorian Budget as the state government honoured a $100,000 election commitment.

Warrnambool Community Garden convenor Rob Porter said the untethered funding would be used to purchase a tractor and loader, in addition to a shed, to quite literally lighten the load for the group’s diverse range of volunteers.

“Our communal garden beds are dug by hand, but for something this scale you need equipment for it to be viable, so this will add a lot of efficiency,” he said.

“We have compost bays which can hold up to eight cubic metres, which isn’t a shovel task.

“We raise 6000 to 8000 seedlings every year, so we buy potting mix in bulk.

“At the moment it’s shovels and wheel barrows.”

Remaining funds from the $100,000 allocation will remain open-ended, with the group working together to determine how best to spend the funds.

The addition of a new tractor with a front-end loader will be the next step in revitalising the space which has become a must-see natural attraction in the heart of Warrnambool.

Mr Porter thanked the state government for its support of the group’s vision for a sustainable agriculture which relies on a connected community to thrive.

He said while the Warrnambool community and council had shown tremendous support, the state funding offered an opportunity not readily available at a local level.

“We’re just really grateful,” Mr Porter said.

“Warrnambool is such an amazing community and we get lots of support, much like every other not for profit in Warrnambool.

“The likes of council’s community development grants, the philanthropic trusts we have in town and the community in general have always been there when

we need to do something.

“Grants generally won’t cover vehicles however, this we hope will be a way we can do that. And there so many things we can do.”

Warrnambool Community Garden started in 2007 with the goal of creating a space where people could connect with nature and each other.

The concept of one space offering individual plots for those wanting to grow, plant and tend to fruit and vegetables resonated with the community.

The original two acres has now grown to six acres, and much of the produce grown is up for grabs at the weekly market.

The Garden Market began around five years ago, and grew from strengthto-strength with the support of the community despite the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every Wednesday from 3pm, a diverse range of fresh produce, preserves, bread, cheese and honey is sold on-site, at the corner of Grieve Street and Grafton Road.

The morning of the market around 20 volunteers will be hard at work harvesting a wide range of seasonal fruits and vegetables in preparation, and a number of stall holders join in to celebrate the south west’s rich tradition of putting food on plates.

All of the product at The Garden Market is locally sourced, and it doesn’t get much fresher according, to Mr Porter.

“Outside of harvesting from your own backyard, this is the freshest you can get,” he said.

“It will always be a smaller market, however.

“The majority of our stall holders have mid-week jobs, but that has its own benefits.

“Even in summer, you’re not having to fight your way through crowds. We have music in summer and everyone on the site can hear it.

“You rarely see two stall holders having the same stuff but here, as long as it’s local produce going to the local community, everyone has agreed that’s the priority.”

Warrnambool Community Garden convenor Rob Porter said a funding flow of $100,000 from the State Government would open a world of possibilities for the group. 2023E

Rail trail works begin

WORK will begin to upgrade the surface of the Port FairyWarrnambool Rail Trail in the coming weeks.

Moyne Shire mayor Karen Foster said the rail trail’s committee of management had appointed contractors and work to resheet 20 kilometres of the trail would begin early next month.

It was expected the work would be complete by the end of the year.

“The rail trail is a fantastic community asset which provides opportunities for health and fitness, but also helps visitors check out the magnificent scenery of Moyne Shire,” Cr Foster said.

“Re-sheeting the trail from Port Fairy through to Lanes Lane in Illowa will improve the experience for all users and ensure the rail trail remains a popular recreational asset for the community and visitors alike.”

The project was being funded with a $600,000 allocation from council, through the federal government’s Local Road and

Community Infrastructure Program.

As the asset managers, the Rail Trail Committee of Management will oversee and manage the project at council’s request.

Cr Foster said despite the trail not being a council managed asset, it recognised the importance of the trail to the community and was pleased to make the funding available.

“This is another example of council partnering with the community to deliver important projects,” she said.

“This is a project the rail trail committee has been working towards for a long time and I’m pleased council has been able to allocate this funding to make it possible.

“The rail trail and associated infrastructure is managed by a hard-working group of volunteers, and I thank them for all the work they do.

“I’m looking forward to seeing work get underway and then checking out the final result.”

The Port Fairy-Warrnambool rail trail will get a revamp in coming weeks. 2023E

Skate park in draft Budget

MOYNE Shire Council has this week released its draft budget, which includes $1.7 million for a play space and skatepark in Port Fairy and $180,000 for roof repairs and painting at the Koroit theatre.

The $58 million operating budget is now out for community feedback and includes big-ticket items such as the proposed new play space and skatepark, and $14.1 million in local road renewal and upgrades across the shire.

Moyne mayor Cr Karen Foster said this year’s budget was reflective of the economic pressures every household and business was facing across the shire.

She said the budget proposed a capital works program of $24.1 million and a 3.5 per cent rate rise, in line with the state government rate cap.

“The budget has been prepared on the basis of being financially responsible, in line with our Council Plan, and takes into consideration the financial pressures council and indeed the community are facing,” she said.

“Over the past year we have seen significant cost increases in fuel for plant and equipment, construction materials and general costs of doing business have all risen significantly.

“The community expects us to continue to deliver services and as a council we remain committed to delivering those, but we have to do it in a way that represents best value for money for our ratepayers.”

Cr Foster said the budget reflects the council’s commitment to making another big effort to improve the shire’s road network, with upgrades planned right across the shire.

This includes the Willatook–Warrong Road, Ibbs Lane, Cooramook Road and the Minjah-Hawkesdale Road.

“We will also complete the Remote Road Pilot Program works in the Chatsworth and Woorndoo areas which have been funded by the Federal Government with a contribution from council.

“A new skate park and a district level play space in Port Fairy are key community projects we are keen to progress, and this budget allocation should provide the community with some assurance they are a priority. “We have also allocated funds for works at the muchloved Koroit Theatre which is a vital community space that has regular use. There’s also funding to upgrade our visitor amenities at our caravan parks.”

Cr Foster said the draft budget was now out for community feedback and could be viewed online at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/your-say/budget23.

It can also be viewed at council’s customer service centre in Port Fairy and at Corangamite Moyne Library Service branches in both Koroit and Port Fairy. Submissions will be accepted until June 6.

Community consultation ‘disappointing’

MOYNE Shire councillors have hit out at the developers of the proposed Garvoc Wind Farm, expressing disappointment at what they claim has been a lack of consultation.

Mayor Karen Foster will write to state ministers expressing the council’s disappointment.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, deputy mayor Cr Daniel Meade moved a notice of motion that council express its disappointment in relation to the lack of communication and engagement of ratepayers, community and council by the windfarm proponent, RE Future.

A planning application for a Garvoc wind farm was recently lodged with the Department of Transport and Planning.

Cr Meade also called for the mayor to express, in writing, the council’s disappointment to relevant state ministers Sonya Kilkenny and Lily D’Ambrosio as well as RE Future.

The letter will also seek a meeting with the ministers.

The motion was unanimously supported.

Cr Foster said the actions of the company in lodging its application before any consultation with the broader community was incredibly disappointing.

“It’s standard for a company to engage with the council and the community ahead of lodging the application, but that didn’t happen in this situation,” she said.

“It’s disappointing and goes to the point we have been making about social license for wind farms being non-existent. Actions like this don’t help the situation.”

Cr Meade added it was important to let the ministers know about council

and the community’s disappointment with how this application has played out.

“The minister has all the decisionmaking power when it comes to renewable energy developments, so we need to ensure they know how disappointed we and the community

are with how this has played out,” he said.

“As we’ve said, wind farm companies need to start building their social license and their trust within the community. Lodging an application before any consultation with impacted neighbours does the opposite and erodes trust.”

MORTLAKE

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT

by MLA’s YARDING 741 CHANGE 86 more

Mortlake agents penned 740 head this week being a slight increase on last weeks offering. The yarding was very mixed comprising a considerable number of crossbred cattle with very limited quality available to the trade. Not all buyers were operating with one major absent. Restocker interest was limited with the majority of the trade cattle purchased by feeders resulting in a softer market overall.

Grown cattle were back 20c/kg and trade eased a further 30c/kg. Cows remained firm and in some places a little stronger. The market comprised 120 grown cattle, 300 trade and 320 cows.

The handful of vealers on offer made to 345c/ kg. Trade steers and heifers sold from 290c to 345c/kg, grown cattle topped at 359c/kg. Good heavy beef cows sold from 210c to 265c/kg with the medium weights from 160c to 195c/kg. Dairy cows sold from 196c to 246c/kg with grown bulls to 220c/kg.

YARDING 318 CHANGE 66 more

Numbers increased to 318 cattle at this weeks Camperdown market. The quality for the top end was good, however, a tail quickly appeared with more secondary cows on offer. 280 cows were penned along with 35 grown and trade weights and 6 bulls. Not all regular buyers attended the market and one did not operate and some store competition was evident. The market was firm to slightly stronger in places in comparison to last week’s market.

Grown heifers mainly dairy bred sold to 256c/kg. The better covered dairy cows realized from 200c to 252c/kg with the medium weights from 160c to 200c/kg. Light cows sold between 60c and 138c/kg. Grown beef bulls topped at 312c/kg with the Dairy bulls to 210c/kg.

Try This...

How smart is your right foot?

This is hysterical. You have to try this.

It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things the brain cannot handle.

1. While sitting in a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with your right hand. Your foot while change direction.

I told you so! And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.

Tigers run continues

MERRIVALE remains undefeated and on top of the Warrnambool and District ladder after defeating South Rovers last weekend.

After seven rounds, the Tigers now sit two games clear of Kolora Noorat, with only percentage separating second from fifth.

Playing at Walter Oval on Saturday, the Tigers took an early jump on the home side, booting four goals one in the first term while restricting South to just two behinds.

The second quarter was a wet and low scoring affair, with both sides struggling

to get a goal on the board.

The wintry conditions made the going tough for both teams, with South only managing three goals for the game.

Final scores were Merrivale 11.16.82 toSouth Rovers 3.8.26.

Tate Porter, Reggie Barling, Tyler Stephens, Jayden Brooks, Sean Barnes and Colby Rix were named among the best for the Tigers, while goals came from Brooks with three, Porter with two and one each from Matt Hausler, Jack Neave, Colby Rix, Lachlan Swayn, Dylan Weir and Jye Wilson.

Alexander White (2) and Beau Turland (1) were the only goal kickers for South

while Brad Bushell, Jaxen Dalton, Sam Wilde, Sandon Williams, Kurt Lenehan and Jake Bacon were named best for the side.

Earlier in the day, the reserves match kept the crowd entertained, with just one point separating the sides on the siren – South Rovers 4.5.29 to Merrivale 4.4.28.

The Tigers were 18 points down after the first quarter but three goals in the third saw them almost snatch victory.

Cody Mailes, Sam Kelson, Alex Koutsoukis, Brendan White, Harry Pappas and Flynn Toney were best for South while Angus Campbell, Jacob

Henderson, Justin Carroll, Tye Kelson, Jaxon Madden and Wil Hinkley were best for Merrivale.

In other round seven action, Allansford were big winners over the Dogs, Nirranda was too strong for Russells Creek, Kolora Noorat went down to Panmure and Timboon overcame Old Collegians.

Tomorrow’s round eight action will see the Tigers at home to Dennington, South Rovers will host Timboon, Russells Creek will head to Allansford, Nirranda will host the Power while Panmure will be at home to Old Collegians.

Pennant final win for East Fram ladies

EAST Framlingham’s lady golfers have taken out division two at the Western District Golf Association women’s pennant finals.

The finals were held at Terang last Monday in cool and overcast conditions.

Despite some bird damage, the course was well presented, the greens were well groomed and the fairways offered some run.

For the first time in a number of years there was a scratch division in women’s pennant, which was won

by Portland who defeated Port Fairy 4/1. In division two, the East Framlingham team went in as underdogs against Portland 2, but in a very tight contest that went down to the wire, East Framlingham won 3-2, securing their first pennant flag for many years.

Sue Henderson defeated Tania Butcher, Gwenda Malseed defeated Trish Florakx 2-1, Dianne Rogers defeated Barb Hill 5-3, Anne Grenfell was one up over Lee-Anne Chapman and Barb Bibby defeated Thelma Inverarity 7-6.

Port Fairy 3 played Camperdown 2 in the division three final.

Camperdown went in to the final after being undefeated throughout the season and they were able to take the flag, 5-0.

Doreen Horan defeated Leanne Brumley 3-2, Deb Narik won 2-1 against Sue Saul, Maree Finlay defeated Caz Bartholomew 5-3, LizFry won 7-6 against Mary Mc Ilroy and Chris Farmer defeated Frances Dalton 3-2.

New floors at Orford table tennis

LAST week new windows, this week new floorboards at Orford table tennis.

With the old floorboards now replaced, a rescue helicopter won’t be needed to pick up an injured table tennis player who has fallen through the floor!

Orford won their first match, lifting them to sixth place.

In week six, Tarrone will face the Warrnambool Vikings, who are expected to continue cutting a swath through opposition again.

Orford will face Glengleeson and while Orford may have had a win last week, Glengleeson will be looking to add to their total.

If either of the Drendel’s are available then Glengleeson has a fighting chance, otherwise Orford will have the upper hand.

Port Fairy will take on Warrnambool Warriors which could be the highlight match of the round.

Port Fairy’s Ray Young, Wayne Krause and Tony Storer are becoming a formidable side.

The Warriors’ Peter Owen and Neil Ford are joined this year by Marshall

Worthington and have only been beaten by Warrnambool Vikings.

Nightowl feels Warriors have the experience playing as a team to pull this one off, even by the skin of their teeth.

Attunga will play Myndarra The Attunga, Wortley family have much experience for the young Myndarra Rowbottom family.

Results from week five were as follows:

Warrnambool Viking v Port Fairy –results not available.

Orford defeated Tarrone 9.28/2.11.

Jayden Clapp’s intense last rubber could have added to Orford’s total when he went down to Tarrone’s Peter Johnson 11/7, 10/12, 10/12 and 13/15.

David Rowbottom was more fortunate when he won a five-game rubber against Steven Young 5/11, 11/3, 12/14, 11/5 and 11/5.

Both David and Russell Hussey won their three rubbers.

Jayden was more fortunate when he teamed with Chloe Bartlett winning the second doubles 11/3, 11/1, 10/12 and 13/11 against Tarrone’s Steven and Andrew McGrath.

Myndarra defeated Glengleeson 6.21 to 5.18.

Myndarra won three of the extended rubbers to take out this match; Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers while Ally won the other.

Ally played in the only five game rubber going down to Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring 6/11, 8/11, 11/8, 11/7 and 10/12.

Both Gareth and Bill Lyons won two rubbers each for Glengleeson. Warrnambool Warriors lost to Attunga 5.19. to 6.20.

In a close match you would expect the majority of rubbers to be extended but not in this case, only four of the 11 were.

Attunga were three love up before Warriors winning the first doubles. By winning both doubles Warriors kept their chances alive.

Attunga’s Kelly Wortley won her three rubbers, while Warriors’ Neil Ford played both the only five game rubbers, losing to Val Wortley but finally winning against Ian 8/11, 13/11, 7/11, 11/8 and 14/12 in the last rubber.

The un-official ladder was incomplete this week.

Young hockey stars shine

TWO teams from Hockey South West have performed remarkably well at the recent junior country championships.

The two under 13 sides travelled to Melbourne last weekend to take on some of the best country Vic sides, gaining valuable experience as the tournament progressed.

The girls’ under 13 side, coached by Katherine Bird, finished second in Pool B and after a close encounter with Hockey Central Vic in the semi-final, which ended nil-all, it became a tie for third position.

The very young under 13 boys’ team –the first to represent Hockey South West in this age group since the pandemic –fought hard throughout the day but was unable to notch up a win despite clear improvement with every game.

It is hoped much of this playing group will be retained in 2024 to once again compete at this level.

Thanks to coaches Anthony Leddin, John Kane and Sam Uren for guiding the boys this year.
