$205M Parkers Grove Estate moves from vision to reality DELIVERING BIG... The new $205 million Parkers Grove Estate is the first residential estate approved under the Shepparton Southeast Precinct Structure Plan. With the official turning of the first sod event on Wednesday, October 28, the new estate is expected to deliver 650 homes and will accommodate around 2,000 residents.

ONSTRUCTION has officially begun on the $205 million Parkers Grove Estate in Shepparton’s southeast, marking a major milestone for one of Greater Shepparton’s largest master planned communities in recent years.
Representatives from developer Goldfields, Greater Shepparton City Council and civil contractor Winslow gathered on Wednesday, October 28, to turn the first sod at the historic former pear orchard site, where the iconic Percy the Pear statue once overlooked the region’s orchards. The development
is expected to deliver 650 homes and accommodate around 2,000 residents, with land currently available from $273,500 and a range of generous lot sizes on offer. Parkers Grove is the first residential estate approved under the Shepparton Southeast Precinct Structure Plan. In March, it became
the first project to secure subdivision plan approval under the framework before launching Stage 1 sales in May. Goldfields National Director of Communities Paul Cicchiello said the project had been years in the making since the company acquired the site in 2021. He thanked Greater Shepparton City Council for its support throughout the planning process and said Goldfields was committed to building more than just a housing estate. Major upgrades to Channel Road and the Archer and Channel roads intersection are scheduled to be completed within the first few stages of the project, improving access and safety for future residents. Once complete, Parkers Grove will feature a one-hectare central park, landscaped waterways, walking trails and communityfocused open spaces. “We’ve worked to design an estate that is for everybody,” Mr Cicchiello said. “We think it’s a wonderful location. It’s within a 9-minute drive to absolutely everything you could ever need in life, so we’re very excited to deliver the estate.” The development also draws inspiration from the site’s agricultural past, with its name reflecting both the Parker family’s connection to the region and Shepparton’s celebrated pear-growing heritage. “The Parker name goes back to historic
Mooroopna, while ‘Grove’ pays homage to the pear-growing region of Shepparton and the site’s history as a pear farm,” Mr Cicchiello said. A network of wetlands will form a key feature of the community, combining water-sensitive urban design with attractive recreational spaces for residents. “The wetlands will evolve as the project evolves to be a feature, and we’ll make that a place where people can sit by the water, have a picnic, read a book and enjoy something that’s been created for the community,” he said. Greater Shepparton Mayor Geoff Akers welcomed the development, describing it as an important addition to the municipality’s housing supply. “Shepparton is the best place in rural Australia, not just rural Victoria, to do business,” Cr Akers said. “We’re certainly pleased that Goldfields has chosen to come and develop here and help us with the expansion of housing and development right across Greater Shepparton.” Titling for Stage 1 of Parkers Grove is expected in the third quarter of 2027. Land enquiries are welcome by contacting Charlene Hipwell on 1300 311 831 or visiting their offices at 378 Wyndham Street, Shepparton (opposite NAB).

The art of the Australian summer backyard A
USSIE summers and backyard living go hand in hand. Think sizzling snags, a cold drink in hand, kids running through the sprinkler and mates who somehow turn a quick catchup into an all-day affair.
Creating a great summer backyard doesn't mean having fancy landscaping or a lawn straight out of a gardening magazine, it’s about making your outdoor space somewhere you actually want to spend time. Start with some shade. Goulburn Valley summers don't muck around, so a pergola, shade sail or large market umbrella can make all the difference. A few strategically placed
trees also offer natural shade for years to come. Think about where the afternoon sun hits when positioning your seating. Make yourself comfortable. Outdoor lounges, weather-resistant cushions and a decent dining setting can turn a patch of grass into an extension of your living room. Add some fairy lights or solar-powered garden lights and the space becomes just as inviting after dark. Make entertaining easy. An outdoor kitchen or barbecue station keeps the cook part of the action, while a drinks tub filled with ice means fewer trips inside. Make sure there's plenty of seating and somewhere for guests to put their drinks and plates.
SUMMER ENTERTAINING... A few simple touches can turn your backyard into the ultimate Aussie summer entertaining spot. Photo: Supplied Bring in some greenery. Choose hardy plants suited to the local climate, mulch garden beds to retain moisture and group pots together for a pop of colour. Check how much sunlight your garden receives before choosing new plants. Make it your own. Whether it's backyard cricket, Sunday lunch with the family or a quiet spot for your morning cuppa, think

Cultivating a home for nature A SOURCE OF ENORMOUS PLEASURE... Loving to work in her garden and to live alongside such a profusion of colour and life, Wendy said, “ We can just birdwatch from within the house because there are birds surrounding the house... I just get so much pleasure watching birds and sharing their lives with our lives.” Photo: Wendy D’Amore By Natasha Fujimoto
O
N the day I was fortunate enough to drive up Wendy D’Amore’s driveway on her property in Kialla West, it was one of those glorious spring mornings, just cool enough for a breezy scuttle of wind, yet still warm enough to inspire an easy-going mood. Stepping from the car, however, brought an immediate, if unexpected, sense of calm. Perhaps it was the rustle of leaves in tall river gums, the mingled fragrance of wattle blossom, grass and eucalyptus drifting on the breeze, or the melodic sing-song of a grey shrikethrush calling from the open garage. Whatever the reason, the stresses of the week seemed to simply slip away. But of course, the serenity I was beginning to feel was no accident. For Wendy, a conservationist and her husband Michael, their four-acre property is not simply a garden but a carefully crafted sanctuary where wildlife comes first, and where every plant, bird bath (there are six) and patch of native grass serves a purpose. “When we bought this garden 18 years ago it was already established, and the last owners must have loved nature as well,” Wendy said. “They loved the native environment and they’d planted mainly natives, not all natives, and they’d looked after it really well. We’ve lots of grasses here, which is fantastic, so we’ve tried to maintain those.” Backing onto Seven Creeks, which gently runs through the rear of their acreage, the couple have deliberately left half of the property as bushland as water conservation and habitat preservation lie at the heart of the garden’s design. “Because we’ve got the creek behind us and within our property, we want to keep that part of the property bushland,”
Wendy said. "If I'm going to plant a non-native it will be around the house, and the rest should be fairly self-sufficient. Not always, like in 40-degree heat, everything benefits from getting watered. But generally, it's all natives and it's a garden for wildlife." Wendy’s deep commitment to wildlife has seen the couple steadily add to what was already established, selecting plants not only for their beauty, but also for the habitat they provide. “Since moving here, we have just planted more natives, indigenous and native, so ones that belong here, and also a mixture of other natives because I can’t help myself,” Wendy laughed. “I just love all native plants. We’ve planted particularly around the boundaries as well to block noise from the road and for privacy, but also to encourage birds. The latest plants we’ve planted are a lot of prickly plants, and that’s really for fairy wrens and scrubwrens to keep them protected.” Indeed, the native plantings, together with the bushland setting, seem to be attracting quite the menagerie of local fauna, with possums, squirrel gliders, skinks, geckos, lizards, native bees and countless insects all sharing the property, while birdlife thrives among the trees, shrubs and grasses. Recently undertaking a bird count on their property, Wendy and Michael recorded 16 different species in just 20 minutes while walking around their garden. Native grasses such as wallaby grass, kangaroo grass and poa provide valuable seed sources for finches and other seed-eating birds, while flowering natives including correas, bottlebrushes, wattles, hop bushes and eremophilas provide nectar and shelter throughout the seasons. Yet for Wendy, while working in the garden is a source of enormous pleasure, it is being able to live among such a
SERENITY, BEAUTY & SUSTAINABILITY... Wendy D’Amore (pictured) loves nature deeply. An experienced conservationist, Wendy and her husband Michael have carefully evolved their-four-acre property in Kiall West to not only be a haven for the senses but a sanctuary where wildlife comes first and where every plant, bird bath (there are six) and patch of native grass serves a purpose. Photo: Natasha Fujimoto profusion of colour and life that is the greatest reward. “We love nature, and it’s wonderful to live in it,” she said. “We can just birdwatch from within the house because there are birds surrounding the house. We can sit at the back of the house with or without binoculars and just birdwatch, and we’ve deliberately set a lot of bird baths around the house. I’ve got six bird baths, and the majority I can see from somewhere in the house. “It just gives us so much pleasure watching birds and sharing our lives with them, their lives and our lives. We love it. We love being surrounded by nature.” While there is joy at the heart of Wendy’s garden, there is also conservation. While an irrigation system supplies areas closest to the house, channel water is used where watering is needed during periods of extreme heat. And while the multitude of bird baths scattered charmingly around the property attract birds and insects, they are also an important source of water for wildlife. “I really want to get across to people to put bird baths in their garden. When we get these weeks of high 30s, they are so reliant on additional water.” "It should be where they can see it from the house because you can relax inside the house, and I can just see little wrens in that bird bath there, and it brings so much pleasure." Standing among the native grasses, flowering shrubs and mature gums, watching blue-banded bee buzz among the dianellas and listening to birds call from every corner of the property, it was easy to understand exactly what Wendy meant.

BIRD BATHS... in the garden are not only a critical source of water for birds and insects during the hotter weather, but also attract the most delightful visitors. Pictured are three New Holland Honeyeaters taking a moment to have a refreshing drink in Wendy’s garden. Photo: Wendy D’Amore.
CONSERVATION IS AT THE HEART... of Wendy and Michael’s property, with Seven Creeks winding through the bushland that covers about half the block. Around the house, Wendy has planted an abundance of natives, along with the occasional non-native, with these gardens being the only areas watered, using channel water. Photo: Wendy D’Amore
Wendy’s tips & best use for native & indigenous plants Wallaby Grass Leave it unmown until after it has seeded so birds can feed on the seed. Important habitat plant for finches and other seedeating birds. Native grass that naturally belongs in the area. Kangaroo Grass Valuable native grass that contributes to biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Wendy promotes retaining and planting indigenous grasses wherever possible. Poa (Native Tussock Grass) Produces seed eaten by red-browed finches and other small birds. Another reason Wendy encourages keeping native grasses rather than replacing them with lawns. Saltbush Indigenous plant worth conserving and spreading through the garden. Wendy retained existing saltbush and expanded its presence on the property. Plant dense, prickly species to protect
small birds such as blue wrens and scrubwrens from predators. Hop Bush (Dodonaea viscosa) One of Wendy's favourite local natives. Great for both small and large gardens. Its seed attracts king parrots and rosellas. Useful wildlife plant that does not grow excessively large. Spreading Wattle Plant dense, prickly species to protect small birds such as fairy wrens and scrubwrens from predators. Wendy said some of her most recent plantings were specifically chosen for this purpose. Wendy's broader gardening tips Plant indigenous and native species whenever possible. • • Include native grasses, not just shrubs and trees, because they provide food for birds. • Create layered habitat with groundcovers, grasses, shrubs and trees. • Use prickly plants to provide safe shelter for small birds.
• • • •
• •
Install bird baths, particularly important during hot weather. Leave seed-producing grasses standing until birds have had a chance to feed. Develop gardens for wildlife rather than appearance alone, focusing on habitat, food sources and shelter. Keep watering concentrated around the house, while using hardy native plants elsewhere to create a more selfsufficient landscape. Retain bushland and indigenous vegetation where possible rather than clearing and replanting. Place bird bath(s) in shaded area and keep clean and full. If your bird bath is deeper, and is glazed or slippery, place a rock in the center for birds and insects to alight safely.

COULD BE A SOLUTION... Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria say residential land lease communities could play an important role in assisting retirees moving to the region to find suitable, downsized options for housing, while demand for houmes remains high. Photo: Supplied
Land lease communities touted as answer to regional housing squeeze A
S more Australians look to leave city life behind, regional Victoria is emerging as a destination of choice for retirees seeking space, connection and a better quality of life. Across communities in the Murray and Goulburn valleys, older residents are embracing the opportunity to stay active, remain close to family and enjoy the sense of belonging that country towns offer. Yet one – and perhaps not so surprising – challenge continues to stand in the way: housing.
Many retirees are ready to leave larger family homes behind, but suitable downsized options are often limited. At the same time, growing regional centres such as Greater Shepparton are facing increasing pressure on housing supply, with demand continuing to outpace availability. Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria says residential land lease communities could play an important role in addressing both issues. The industry body is calling for modest planning reforms to support the development of more communities where residents own their homes while leasing the land beneath them, creating an affordable alternative between the family home and a retirement village.
Chief executive Scott Parker said regional Victoria's ageing population and continued growth meant new housing solutions were urgently needed. "People are choosing regional Victoria in record numbers, and many of them are over 60," Mr Parker said. He said residential land lease communities could deliver quality, affordable homes within months rather than years while also freeing up larger homes for young families. As regional Victoria grows, finding housing options that support retirees while strengthening the wider community may prove essential to ensuring towns continue to thrive.

SUMMER FAVOURITES... Two easy crowd-pleasers that deserve a spot at every Aussie barbecue. Photo: Supplied By Maddison Howell
W
HEN the weather warms up and barbecue season rolls around, it's always handy to have a couple of reliable salads up your sleeve. Whether you're serving up a Sunday roast, firing up the barbie or heading to a friend's place for a get-together, these two family favourites are easy to prepare and guaranteed to earn a spot on the table.
Straight from my mum's kitchen, these recipes are simple and best made ahead of time, leaving you with less fuss when it's time to entertain. CREAMY BACON AND POTATO SALAD Tender potato, crispy bacon and spring onion come together in a deliciously creamy sour cream, mayonnaise and cheese dressing. A perfect side for any summer spread. Ingredients 6 potatoes 5 slices of short cut bacon Spring onion 300g sour cream 1 tbsp mayonnaise ½ cup shredded cheese Method • Peel and cut the potato into small bite size pieces and cook until just tender. Sit aside. • Cut bacon into small pieces and cook. Sit aside. • Thinly slice spring onion. • In a large bowl, combine potato, bacon and spring onion and mix together. • In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise and shredded cheese. • Pour mayonnaise mixture over the potato and combined thoroughly, place in the fridge until cold and serve.
BACON AND BALSAMIC PASTA SALAD A simple mix of spiral pasta, crispy bacon, fresh tomato and spring onion, finished with a drizzle of balsamic dressing. Fresh, colourful and made for the barbecue table. Ingredients 1 pack of spiral pasta 5 rashes of short cut bacon Spring onion 2 tomatoes Balsamic salad dressing Method • Cook spiral pasta until done, strain and sit aside. • Thinley cut bacon, cook and sit aside. • Thinley slice spring onion and tomatoes. • In a large bowl combine all ingredients. • Pour over Balsamic salad dressing to taste. • Store in fridge until cold and serve. A little tip from Mum: Make both salads a few hours ahead or even the night before and pop them in the fridge until serving time. This gives them plenty of time to chill and lets all those lovely flavours come together. Sometimes the best recipes aren't complicated or fancy, they're the ones passed around the family, enjoyed year after year and always leave everyone asking for seconds.

GROW YOUR OWN... Because the best drinks don’t come from a bottle shop, they come straight from the backyard. Photo: Supplied.
Grow your own cocktail W
hy buy a cocktail when you can grow one? Turn your garden, balcony or even a sunny windowsill into a mini mixologist’s paradise with a few clever plantings and a sprinkle of green-thumb magic.
Firstly, start with the essentials: herbs are the stars of any home-grown cocktail garden. Mint is a must for mojitos,
while basil adds a delicious twist to gin sours and margaritas. Rosemary brings a fragrant, sophisticated touch to a gin and tonic, while thyme pairs beautifully with citrus-based drinks. Plant them in pots with good drainage and plenty of sunshine, and they’ll reward you with fresh flavour all season long. Next, let's think beyond herbs. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are easy to grow and make gorgeous garnishes, muddled additions or, if you’re feeling brave, homemade syrups. Have a little more space? Try a dwarf lemon or lime

What to do if you cross paths with a snake this summer IF YOUR PATHS SHOULD CROSS... stay clam! This summer, it would be wise to take some simple, yet safe steps, if you or your family should encounter one of these fellows. Photo: Supplied
A
S the weather heats up, so too do the snakes start to slither. With reports of encounters with Eastern Brown and Tiger snakes across the region already on the rise, it is important to be familiar with some essential safety tips should one cross your path in what is, after all, a shared habitat. The most important thing to remember when encountering a snake is to remain calm. Avoid sudden movements and either stand still or slowly step back, giving the animal plenty of space to move away. Most snakes will retreat if left undisturbed. If a snake should be found in the backyard or around the house, bring children and pets indoors, or move them to safety as soon as possible into an enclosed space. Never attempt to touch, catch or kill a snake, as aside from being a leading cause
of snake bites, harming a native snake is illegal under Victoria's Wildlife Act 1975. In any case, most snakes pose little threat when given an escape route and left alone. If a snake is trapped inside your home, appears injured or refuses to leave a property, a licensed snake catcher should be contacted immediately for safe removal. Preventing snakes around the home You can reduce the likelihood of unwanted visitors this summer by keeping grass short and lawns well maintained around your home and property. Also remove potential shelter such as timber piles, rocks, corrugated iron and dense vegetation, and control rodents, which are a major food source for snakes. With snake activity expected to increase 03 throughout the warmer months, a tidy yard Logo and a cautious approach remain the best defence against an unwanted, slithery encounter.
tree for a steady supply of cocktail-worthy citrus. The secret is to pick plants you'll actually use, water them regularly and harvest herbs little and often to encourage fresh growth. Keep your mint in its own pot too since it has a habit of taking over. Before long, happy hour will have a whole new meaning. Simply snip, muddle, mix and sip. Cheers to growing yourself a garden that gives back.

NEW STORE, SAME EXPERTISE... The team at Ciavarella’s Betta Home Living in Kyabram, led by owners Dean and Michelle Ciavarella, is excited to announce the purchase of Echuca Betta, expanding their commitment to quality products, expert advice and exceptional customer service across the region. Pictured back row from left are Dean, Mick, Pat and Aaron. Front row from left are Michelle and Ally, while team member Lou is absent. Photo: Emma Harrop
Ciavarella family expands to Echuca T
HRILLED to announce a major new milestone, after four decades owning and operating Ciavarella’s Betta Home Living in Kyabram, Dean and Michelle Ciavarella are now the new proprietors of Echuca Betta, extending their expertise and dedicated customer care across two stores and communities.
Marking an exciting expansion for the Kyabram family business, Dean and Michelle are looking forward to bringing the personal
service and strong customer relationships that are hallmarks of their business to Echuca. While continuing to offer a full range of home appliances, electronics, furniture and bedding as well as a dedicated range of mobility aids and independent living products, all under one roof, Echuca Betta will retain its familiar name as it begins a new chapter under the ownership of a local family business. For the Ciavarellas, the move is about more than expanding a business; it is an opportunity to become part of another regional community and build the same lasting
relationships that have been so important to the success of their Kyabram operation. “We’re looking forward to getting to know our Echuca customers and community and bringing the same friendly, personal service and family values that have been such a big part of our business over the years,” they said. Over the years, Ciavarella’s Betta has grown alongside Kyabram, supplying whitegoods, furniture and bedding alongside its electrical services. Throughout that growth, Dean said looking after customers has remained at the centre of the business.
“Our entire team works hard to provide the best service every time. We take our customers seriously, and I think that’s a big reason why we have grown as much as we have,” he said. While Echuca represents a new adventure for the family, the expansion does not mean saying goodbye to Kyabram. Ciavarella’s Betta Home Living will continue operating in Kyabram, allowing the family to maintain its longstanding connection with the town while establishing new relationships in Echuca.
Summer entertaining without the renovation bill
S
UMMER is the season for having people over, whether it's a casual barbecue, a long Sunday lunch or a few mates dropping in for a cold drink. But getting your home ready for entertaining doesn't mean spending thousands on a kitchen makeover or knocking down walls. Sometimes, a few little touch-ups is all it takes. The trick is to work with what you've already got and add a few thoughtful touches to make your home feel fresh, welcoming and ready for summer.
1
Here are a few easy ways to freshen things up without breaking the bank: • Let the sunshine in: Swap heavy curtains for lighter fabrics, clean the windows and open up the space. Natural light instantly makes a room feel brighter, fresher and bigger. • Add a splash of colour: Introduce summer through cushions, table runners, fresh flowers or a few colourful accessories. Think soft greens, coastal blues and warm sandy tones. • Give your furniture a shuffle: Rearrange your lounge or dining area to create better flow and make room for guests to mingle, sometimes a new layout is all a room needs.
• Style your entertaining space: A simple cheese board, a bowl of fresh seasonal fruit or a few candles can make even the most everyday dining table feel special. • Don't forget the finishing touches: Fresh towels in the bathroom, a tidy entryway and a lovely-smelling home go a long way when guests arrive. • You don't need a showroom-worthy home to be a great host, just a little creativity, a few affordable updates and a welcoming atmosphere is enough. • After all, it's not about having the fanciest house on the street, it's about making everyone feel at home.
