TEST THE WATERS

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE state government has assured that alternative water sources are part of mine rehabilitation plans as the final Latrobe Valley Regional Rehabilitation Strategy was released on Friday.

Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes was in Morwell releasing the strategy and launching the new Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority which will come into effect on Wednesday.

The new authority will replace the role of the Latrobe Valley mine rehabilitation commissioner Rae Mackay, who will stay on as authority board chair.

Ms Symes said the final strategy was a blueprint to guide how the Latrobe Valley’s three mine voids would be rehabilitated into the future, with water playing an “integral part�.

She said the strategy had flagged the use of desalinated water, recycled water

or access to water from treatment plants.

It comes as Hazelwood mine operator ENGIE confirmed its plans to start filling the former mine with water from January to create a full pit lake to enable a safe, stable and sustainable land form.

The LVRRS sets out actions to address mine safety and stability and provide mine licensees with further clarity on rehabilitation options.

It takes into account a drying climate

Consultation needed over new boundaries

By MICHELLE SLATER

WEST Gippsland volunteer firefighters are calling on the state government for more consultation over new brigade boundaries as the new fire agency Fire Rescue Victoria starts on Wednesday.

Trafalgar and Westbury CFA volunteers met with Member for Narracan Gary Blackwood and shadow emergency services minister Nick Wakeling on Thursday morning to discuss concerns.

They feared they would not be able to deliver the same services with some responsibilities being taken away from CFA volunteers and put into the hands of FRV. The reforms mean that the CFA becomes a communitybased volunteer firefighting service and the FRV becomes a career only service working under one badge and uniform.

Trafalgar fire brigade captain Danny Mynard told The Express that he was yet to see new boundary maps and only had one consultation session in January, but was yet to understand how

changes could affect them.

Cpt Mynard said he feared volunteers were being “pushed out” with members not told how things would operate despite the new agency starting within the week.

“We feel we’ve been lied to, we were promised this would not affect the brigade with the new structure, but we have no answers,” he said.

The new regions were formed on the basis of eight-minute response times, but local brigades feared it could take them longer to respond on the boundary fringes.

Volunteers were also concerned about which brigades would get the first call outs, or how local resources would be deployed.

Mr Wakeling said the government had promised to create a panel to consider changing brigade boundaries, but had gone ahead without forming the panel.

“The government is running roughshod over the views of the local communities. If we see this happening in Westbury and

Trafalgar then where else is this happening across the state?” Mr Wakleing said.

“Little wonder volunteers who had given up their time for decades feel deeply let down by the way this government has managed the CFA of late.”

Mr Blackwood said the new boundary legislation had not yet passed through parliament, and he would pressure the government to reconsider.

Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville said engagement was a “key focus” of fire service reforms, and had held 54 engagement workshops involving 1330 volunteers and staff.

“For the majority of volunteers, nothing will change under Fire Rescue Victoria,” Ms Neville said.

“As a strengthened volunteer firefighting CFA, they’ll continue to provide a valuable service to their communities, including vital day to day support as well as surge capacity for campaign or other major fire events.”

State’s cases still climbing

By KATE WITHERS

PREMIER Daniel Andrews has floated the possibility of enforcing a suburban hotspot lockdown in an attempt to stem the spread of coronavirus as case numbers spike across the state.

Thursday marked the biggest jump in new infections in more than two months as 33 cases were confirmed, but this was surpassed the following day with an additional 37 on Friday and 49 on Saturday.

It takes the state’s total number of confirmed cases to 2028, of which 231 are active.

The Latrobe Valley has just one active case.

The state government will wait for the results of its three-day testing blitz before deciding whether to implement further measures, including stay-athome orders, Mr Andrews told media yesterday.

“If that (stay-at-home orders) is deemed the appropriate public health response then that is what we’ll do,” he said. “(Testing) is a simple thing but a massive thing when it comes to trying to contain this virus, given how wildly infections it is and given how much and how quickly it moves.”

Deputy chief medical officer, Professor Michael Kidd said the situation in Victoria was “a matter of genuine concern”.

“None of us can afford to become complacent, this pandemic is not over,” Prof Kidd said.

“It’s important that Victoria continues to test widely and to rigorously follow up with any contacts and to ensure people identified as cases and their

contacts remain in quarantine and isolation until we advise otherwise.

“We all need to continue to do our part to ensure this outbreak is brought rapidly under control.

The Premier initially announced the deployment of about 1000 Australian Defence Force personnel to help combat the resurgence of the virus across Victoria, however this was wound back to about 150 on Thursday.

“Holidaying locally and spending money within our community creates a stronger and more vibrant Gippsland.”

Mr Chester encouraged all Gippslanders to do what they could to support our business, hospitality and tourism sector.

“Putting locals first and supporting local businesses and service providers creates local jobs,” Mr Chester said.

“Please choose to take a break in Gippsland: your support will help to repair some of the economic damage caused by the drought, bushfires and the pandemic.”

Finishing touches for pathway

Nearly Done: Local MP Darren Chester recently inspected progress of the 10 kilometre Traralgon-Morwell Shared Pathway.

A FEW finishing touches are still to be made before the $4.55 million TraralgonMorwell Shared Pathway is complete.

The 10-kilometre pathway stretches from the Morwell Railway Station to Traralgon’s Kay Street gardens. Nine of the project’s seven stages are now complete.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has been a strong supporter of the project.

many welcoming towns to explore.

many people have already been using the pathway at the Traralgon end.

“It will become popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists looking for a safe and enjoyable way to travel between Morwell and Traralgon and encourage more people to get more active, more often.”

“Like many keen walkers, runners and cyclists, I’ve been keeping an eye on how the pathway has been taking shape during construction,” Mr Chester said.

The last major element still incomplete is the construction of a crossing over the Australian Paper rail line along Alexanders Road. There’s also a few handrails to be installed, weeds to be sprayed and other vegetation management jobs to be done.

“The restrictions on our movements during the pandemic have given many people an opportunity to get outside and explore their local area and I know

Mr Chester secured $1.6 million from the Federal Government for the pathway project which is being managed by Latrobe City Council.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the school holidays were the perfect time to get out and explore our wonderful region.

“Overseas holidays and some interstate travel are off-limits right now, so there’s no better time to take a break in Gippsland,” Mr Chester said.

“We can get out and take trips safely in Gippsland while some coronavirus restrictions are still in place, as long as we maintain social distancing and good hand hygiene.

Looking good: The new ‘Town of Gardens’ sign photograph kate withers on Commercial Road.

Morwell blooms with new signs

FIRST came the Hollywoodesque sign.

Now Morwell has been branded ‘Town of Gardens’, with a new installation flanking Commercial Road next to the famous Morwell Centenary Rose Garden.

The new sign sits at the top of Jane Street and is part of a swathe of plantings and feature garden beds designed to signpost entry to the town’s central business district.

The centrepiece is funded by Regional Development Victoria as part of the Future Morwell project.

Charges laid over Moe ram raid

A TOTAL of 70 charges have been laid in relation to a ram raid at an electrical goods store in Moe earlier this month.

Police executed four search warrants in the Moe-Newborough area and recovered a quantity of stolen goods, believed to have been acquired during the ram raid on June 7.

A 21-year-old woman from Moe was charged on 42 counts and a 44-year-old man from Moe was charged with 28 counts.

The charges include burglary, attempted burglary, theft, criminal damage, breach of bail and others.

The pair has been remanded in custody and will appear before the Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Gippsland bureau avoids ABC job cuts

ABC Gippsland will not be affected by cuts announced on Wednesday, the broadcaster has confirmed.

Up to 250 ABC jobs will be lost around the country to tackle the $84 million funding cut over three years.

ABC Life will be dissolved and re branded as ABC Local to have a broader editorial direction.

ABC broadcasting has scrapped the 7.45am bulletin and replaced it with a five-minute 8am bulletin, which will see morning news cut by 15 minutes.

Two weeks ago the broadcaster opened a process to allow employees to express an interest in redundancy.

This follows the federal government’s announcement in 2018 of an indexation pause for the ABC. In a five-year plan published by the ABC on Wednesday managing director David Anderson said it was a “difficult time for everyone”.

“In real terms this means our operational funding will be more than 10 per cent lower in 2021-22 than it was in 2013,” Mr Anderson said.

“There is no doubt that the cumulative effect of funding cuts are an extraordinary strain on our ability to meet community expectations.”

Yallourn’s rich history on show: A light post from the township of Yallourn will soon grace the site of the Old Brown Coal Mine Museum in Yallourn North. photograph cher jimenez

ONE of two fountain features that used to grace the now demolished township of Yallourn has found a new home at the Old Brown Coal Mine Museum.

Yallourn North and District Historical Society president David Roberts said the fountains were sold by the State Energy Commission when the township was dismantled in the 1970s to make way for further mining.

“One of the fountains was relocated to a property in Heyfield, the other was sold to Wayne Somerville, a farmer at Tanjil South,” Mr Roberts said.

He said Mr Somerville offered to donate the fountain in February this year during a visit to the Yallourn North museum

Classic town: Monash Square, Yallourn during the 1930s.

which is run by the historical society.

“Happy days, we couldn’t believe our luck to be offered this piece of Yallourn history,” Mr Roberts told The Express.

With little resources, the society reached out to Yallourn Energy to ask for assistance in moving the fountain from a farm on Tanjil South to the museum grounds.

To Mr Roberts surprise, the company offered to sponsor the transfer and contractors started calling to make arrangements.

“They came up with a big crane (and) a big truck and lots of people to do it,” he said.

“It’s a big job I would imagine it’ll probably cause them about $10,000. That was very good of them to do.”

Mr Roberts said the fountains

had a very interesting history prior to their official installation at the Yallourn town square on December 7, 1956.

Two temporary fountains were constructed in Monash Square (named in 1953 after Sir John Monash) in time for the Queen’s visit in 1954.

“Following the Queen’s visit, it appears that the temporary fountain feature was so well received that a more permanent feature was required,” he said.

Mr Roberts said the fountains were built by public subscription.

He said the fountains were the “centrepiece” of the town and he recalled playing around it as a young boy growing up in Yallourn.

Mr Roberts said restoration works on the fountain had already commenced with a contractor sand blasting the steelwork and painting all the components.

Another feature of the town that the society was working to replace near the fountain was an original concrete light pole that used to light the streets of Yallourn.

Mr Roberts said the historic features would be open to the public in November when everyone involved in their restoration would be invited to be recognised and have a look.

The event will also welcome former Brown Coal miners who once called the demolished town home.

Loy Yang B welcomes back generator stator

one of the originals installed at Loy Yang B in 1993. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be the second major outage we have had in the last couple of years...we have done Unit 2 we are now going to do Unit 1 where it will get a full turbine and a new or refurbished generator,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that outage there will be over 400 contractors coming onto site, so that is really important in terms of jobs for the Latrobe Valley. In the current environment it is something that we are putting a lot of effort into.â&#x20AC;?

Downer project planner turbine and generator assist services Rodrigo De Diego said the upgrade took years of planning.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This presents three years of planning, preparation and coordination between Downer, Mitsubishi Power systems in Japan and Genertech to bring together all of our technology, expertise and skills to be able to get this job done in the community and avoid freight to overseas,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is a day that we prove this work can be done locally and move forward to the next stage of this project which will be installing this generator into service, this project is more about the technology can Japan could provide rather than shipping the generator overseas... we relied on a lot of local contractors to bring this project together.â&#x20AC;?

THE 250 tonne generator stator returned to Loy Yang B power station last week.

The generator stator underwent an extensive upgrade by managing contractor Downer, the upgrade was completed by a team of six Latrobe Valley staff and six specialists from Queensland and Japan.

Genertech workshop in Morwell housed the generator for four months as the team rewound the generator, which included changing out the old windings, and installing newly designed clips and bars to make it more efficient.

Loy Yang B general manger Tony Hicks said the stator was removed from Unit 2 during upgrades last year and will be returned to Unit 1 in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This it the first time a generator has been refurbished like this in a local workshop so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important and a big call out for all of those involved who made it happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great thing about this rebuild is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming back more efficient and it will provide even better reliability for Loy Yang B going forward.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get a new one it is a higher capital cost and the main components of the generator, the core, were completely fine so really just needed a rewind which is still a major job.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Hicks said the finished generator stator is one of the final steps in the second major outage planned for Loy Yang B in September, to increase the efficiency and reliability of the plant.

Cr Clancey said applications for all categories close on September 9, but were welcome at any time in the lead-up to that date.

“It may seem incongruous to think about nominations during these ongoing restrictions,

but recognising the people who selflessly work to make our city a better, friendlier, more vibrant place, is as simple as completing a form,” Cr Clancey said.

Forms are available online at www.latrobe.vic.gov.au/ australiaday or hard copies can be requested at council’s service centres and libraries.

Further information about the award ceremony, usually held on Australia Day each year, will be published nearer the time.

LATROBE City Council is calling for the community to nominate citizens, events and services for its 2021 Australia Day Awards.

Nominations across all categories close on September 9 Mayor Dan Clancey, said the awards honoured hardworking local volunteers and celebrated community.

“Latrobe City’s Australia Day Awards honour people, events and services that highlight the breadth of community spirit right here in our city,” Cr Clancey said.

“And despite the strange circumstances we find ourselves in with many community events, services, clubs and programs currently not operating, we must still take time to acknowledge the time and skills donated before and during the pandemic lockdown.

“Think about that special someone, perhaps a relative, neighbour, friend or community club member who goes that extra mile to make a difference to the lives of others.

“Perhaps you want to give a shout-out to the event you attended over the summer.

“Maybe, it’s the sporting club stalwart whose dedication to training and matches and uniforms meant your team performed better last season.

Maybe it’s someone who really helped others in need, during the pandemic.”

There are a number of categories: Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year and Community Service of the

Contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to state government

By MICHELLE SLATER

A MORWELL timber contractor has asked the state government to be allowed back into East Gippsland logging coupes.

ANC Forestry Group were locked out of East Gippsland when the bushfires hit and has been unable to supply local saw mills.

East Gippsland saw mills had been reporting they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;run out of logsâ&#x20AC;? due to being unable to access burnt areas that were previously being harvested.

Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes discussed concerns with some East Gippsland timber industry stakeholders on Friday.

Ms Symes announced that logging agency VicForests was releasing Timber Release Plans for public consultation to re-open coupes particularly around Tambo.

ANC managing director Darryl Hutton estimated there was potentially still â&#x20AC;&#x153;millions of dollarsâ&#x20AC;? of quality saw logs left standing in burnt areas that contractors couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch.

Mr Huttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was stood down and contracts were put into forced maturity with no pay-outs after the fires, only three months into a new contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still beautiful saw logs in there. Saw mills are hungry for them, we need timber release plans to allow us back in, but there is too much red tape around it,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hutton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the contractors are out of work because of the fires. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the flow-on effect not just how

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath had also called on the state government to allow immediate supply of sawlog grade timber to local mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is 115 Gippsland families are directly impacted.

Although burnt, the resource is available for harvest, yet Minister Symes is ring barking the industry,â&#x20AC;? Ms Bath said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These contractors are locked in loans conditional with their government contracts but have been denied the resource and ability to work.â&#x20AC;?

However, environment group Goongerah Environment Centre stated logging in these areas would â&#x20AC;&#x153;heavily disrupt and hinder the natural recovery process of burnt forestsâ&#x20AC;?.

Ms Symes said VicForests had been working with the office of the conservation regulator to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the balance rightâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking after the conservation value of our forests and also enabling industry to get on with their job,â&#x20AC;? Ms Symes told The Express. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My focus at the moment is making sure industry can access coupes now to get timber to these mills that rely on wood to employ local people.â&#x20AC;?

Relief for Gippsland’s timber industry

Support welcomed: Australian Sustainable Hardwoods chief executive officer Vince Hurley and Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester following the announcement of the Forestry Recovery Development Fund which will deliver up to $40 million over three years to privately owned wood processing facilities. photograph supplied

GIPPSLAND’S timber industry will benefit from additional support as it recovers from the 2019-20 bushfires.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the industry had been one of the hardest hit over summer and the measures would provide critical support to speed up economic recovery and help secure jobs into the future.

“Our local timber industry is a major employer and contributes significantly to the local economy through its associate businesses,” Mr Chester said.

“Skilled timber workers played a critical role in the bushfire fight and recovery, but have been hit hard with the fallout of the fires.

“The federal government supports a sustainable timber and forestry industry and these measures will not only provide support where it is needed right now, but also valuable investment into a stronger and more resilient timber and forestry industry going forward.”

The Forestry Recovery Development Fund will deliver up to $40 million over three years to privately owned wood processing facilities that have been directly and indirectly impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires.

It will include funding for the upgrade and purchase of new forestry processing equipment, transport assistance to move salvaged, burnt logs and the establishment of mass storage facilities for processed timber products, fire-affected logs and other forestry products.

Mr Chester said the funding would

assist the industry in bringing in more innovative solutions and becoming more adaptive and resilient.

“This could include upgrading facilities to expand capabilities, improve capacity to process salvaged wood and accommodate fire-affected wood, and upskill employees,” Mr Chester said.

“We have to work together as we continue the recovery effort but I have no doubt we can build back better than ever to become a stronger and more resilient Gippsland.”

The Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) has strongly welcomed the federal government’s announcement with chief executive officer Ross Hampton saying the support package would go a long way to helping the industry.

“We are pleased that the federal government has listened and responded to the crisis facing our industry as a result of the bushfires,” Mr Hampton said.

“The $40 million Forestry Recovery Fund will support timber processors facing significant, long-term reductions in log supply to retool and upgrade their mills, while the $10 million Salvage Log Storage Fund will boost mills’ capacity to process and store the short-term surplus in burnt logs.”

For more information, visit www.agriculture.gov.au/ag-farm-food/bushfires/ forestry-recovery-development-fund.

More information on eligibility and accessing the program will be available in the coming weeks.

Hardwood processors show strength in numbers ALL Victoria’s processors of hardwood timber have formed a new association to fight the state government’s decision to shut the native forest industry.

The Victorian Hardwood Sawmillers Association maintains the decision will lead to huge job losses and damage or decimate the regional communities that depend on the industry.

“It is the wrong decision and need to be changed,” said spokesman Leonard Fenning, a hardwood timber veteran whose company is based at Bairnsdale in East Gippsland.

The new association, the VHSA, is separate from the industry’s traditional lead body, the Victorian Association of Forest Industries.

Some of the new group are still members of VAFI, which now mainly represents Australian Paper and

softwood plantation growers and processors.

The group’s other two key message are: ■ Only four trees out of every 10,000 are harvested annually, with every tree replaced as the areas are regenerated and regrown by law.

■ The sawmillers operate modern innovative businesses using high-tech equipment to manufacture goods used by all Victorians.

Apart from Fenning, the VHSA’s members are Ryan and McNulty (Benalla), Walkers (Corryong), Powelltown Sawmills,AG Brown (Noojee and Drouin West), Reid Bros (Yarra Junction), Radial (Yarram), ASH (Heyfield), Longwarry Timber, Parkside (Orbost and Bairnsdale), Kellys Timber (Yarra Junction), Warburton Timber, Dormit (Dandenong), Mectec (Newmerella) and Montana Timber (Montrose).

Mr Fenning said the state government

had turned its back on blue-collar workers in regional Victoria and its policy had to be stopped before it was too late.

The VHSA will look to forge alliances with other primary industries that are also being driven out by what it calls the state government’s anti-industry agenda.

“Daniel Andrews is attacking regional communities that depend on the timber, mining and farming sectors,” he said.

“The next generations in our communities are being robbed of their future, we will not stand by and let this happen without a fight.We are drawing a line in the sand and saying,‘Enough is enough’.”

Mr Fenning said the group hoped that by giving a voice to the thousands of blue-collar workers they represented, the state government would be held to account for its actions, and others in their communities would join their fight.

“Without our businesses, many of these

harvested areas, as it is required to do by law. Victoria’s native timber sector produces revenue of $770 million and supports more than 2500 jobs, according to a report from Deloitte Access Economics. The industry’s overall economic impact over 10 years in Victoria is more than $5 billion.

The report also notes: ■ Despite the importance of regional jobs, most employment in secondary processing tales place in Greater Melbourne.

■ The carbon footprint from alternative materials such as concrete is substantially higher than native timber.

■ Without native timber harvesting, fire-fighting would be badly affected by the loss of fire-fighting resources - skilled staff, specialised forest equipment and reduced road maintenance.

communities will be gutted. There will be no jobs, and many will be forced to leave the towns they grew up in to find work,” he said.

“Yet Daniel Andrews refuses to visit our communities and look us in the eye to explain why he is shutting us down.”

The state government announced late last year that the native forest industry would close by 2030. The mills’ existing supply contracts are valid until 2024, but the resource will be progressively cut back after that.

The Victorian native timber industry is highly regulated and sustainably managed, with only 3000 hectares per year harvested and replanted, in an overall estate of nearly 8 million hectares.

That is the equivalent of only four trees out of every 10,000 harvested annually every year, the VHSA says.

HESC project to be delayed COMPLETION of construction of the Latrobe Valley’s pilot brown coal to hydrogen plant has been pushed out from June until August due to delays caused by COVID-19.

The $100 million Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain trial plant was due to begin this year to test converting Loy Yang coal to hydrogen and export it to Japan via the Port of Hastings.

HESC issued a statement outlining that the pandemic had caused “significant and unprecedented disruption across many industries and supply chains worldwide”.

“This has resulted in a delay to the delivery of some plant components and associated construction works. It is not expected that this delay will impact the project’s overall operation timeline,” the statement said.

“As always, we remain fully committed to our ambitious, mutual hydrogen vision, and supporting government and industries in their efforts to responsibly transition to a secure, economically viable, low carbon energy future.”

HESC also recently finalised carbon offset arrangements for the pilot plant.

It announced it had partnered with South Pole to invest in Australian Carbon Credit Units to contribute towards the Boobera Carbon Project in Queensland.

Emissions from an upscaled commercialised plant would be managed through carbon capture and storage being developed in Bass Strait.

Strategy tests the waters Continued from page 1

“Of course we will plan for that and we don’t want to take water from one industry to support another industry, this will take a balanced approach.”

Ms Symes said the new authority would continue to work with a stakeholder reference group and hear the views of the local community on mine rehab.

The Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority will be based out of the new GovHub on Church Street.

Prof Mackay will be joined by deputy chairperson Christine Trotman and fellow board members Ian Nethercote, Ian Gibson, Corinne Unger and Claire Miller.

Prof Mackay said he had planned

to continue on from his work as commissioner, stressing mine operators plans were not complete and would require a “staged approach” with regular reviews.

He said the community also needed to be made aware of certain risks associated with partially filling mines with water as opposed to creating full pit lakes.

“The trouble with partial pit lakes is safety and stability isn’t straight forward, we are likely to accept a higher level of risk if we don’t complete a full pit lake. It’s a trade-off between using less water for other beneficial purposes but recognising that stability will be slightly less than what we would’ve liked,” he said.

Member for Morwell Russell Northe raised a number of concerns in a submission he had made into the LVRRS, including considering other options than a full pit lake and access to water.

“There was an expectation that the strategy released by the government today would address some of these issues, however, it appears this is not the case,” Mr Northe said.

“Whilst I appreciate further consultation and conversation will occur, a number of important points raised during the draft phase really require greater certainty.”

Mr Northe’s concerns were shared by community groups including Friends of Latrobe Water which

said it was “absolutely crucial” for the community to be involved in rehab plans.

Group spokeswoman Hayley Sestokas said she was concerned about ENGIE’s plans to begin filling Hazelwood, “given unanswered questions about water availability in a drying climate”.

“We’re pleased that the strategy explicitly states that any water taken for mine rehabilitation will not impact on environmental or Traditional owners values in the broader Latrobe River system, including the internationally significant but under-stress ecosystems of the Gippsland Lakes,” she said.

Irrigation study for Central Gippsland

VICTORIAN Water Minister Lisa Neville last week announced $500,000 for a study to scope potential development of further irrigation in Central Gippsland.

The feasibility study will examine potential infrastructure options for expanding irrigation development in Central Gippsland - based on customer demand and willingness to invest, and water availability.

The study builds on pre-feasibility work undertaken by Southern Rural Water in 2018 to identify potential development opportunities in the Latrobe, Thomson, Macalister and

Avon catchments. Once complete, the study will assist informed decision making for any future strategic investment in rural water infrastructure.

Key stakeholders will help identify preferred infrastructure options based on demand and water availability.

“We have modernised irrigation systems and expanded the water grid in regions across the State and this work will help give us a sound basis for any further decisions,” Ms Neville said.

Southern Rural Water will conduct the study and Gippsland communities will have an opportunity to provide their feedback and expertise in helping shape the work.

The work will feed into the state government’s Sustainable Water Strategy to be conducted over the next twelve months in Central Victoria including Gippsland - which is a regular examination of the water resource and its management in a given region.

“We know the Gippsland region has faced several tough years with

The study aligns with the objectives in Water for Victoria, the government’s water plan, to support regional development, invest in infrastructure and help irrigation districts adapt to a drier climate.

The farm gate value of Gippsland’s food is $1.5 billion a year with the industry generating more than 16,000 jobs.

Value in brightening Gippsland

BUSINESS, philanthropy, and community have joined forces to launch the Shared Value mental health initiative for a strong, healthy and prosperous future for Gippsland.

The Kindred Spirits Foundation, in partnership with the Gippsland Regional Executive Forum and the Committee for Gippsland, is embarking on the landmark regional initiative.

Kindred Spirits Enterprises founder and director Rhonda Renwick said Shared Value was a means for businesses to build competitive advantage by addressing social problems.

“Mentally healthy workplaces nurture extraordinary professionals, and extraordinary professionals doing extraordinary work creates an extraordinary economy,” she said.

“So, it all starts with our businesses investing in staff mental health because the professional capacity and relationships that result could be the tide that lifts our entire Gippsland economy.”

A 2019 Pricewaterhouse Coopers report highlighted that $13 billion is the direct financial cost of mental illness to Australian businesses, with 45 per cent of Australian workers

experiencing a mental illness of some form. Committee for Gippsland chief executive officer Jane Oakley said businesses play a key role in aligning operations with social purpose.

“The Kindred Spirits Foundation will lead the Shared Value initiative by engaging with Gippsland businesses to understand the impact of mental health on our workforce and find innovative ways to improve community outcomes that support workforce competitiveness,” Ms Oakley said.

The initiative will study investments in workforce mental health

and measure the social and financial return on investment for businesses in Gippsland.

It will involve collaboration with local businesses, Latrobe Valley Bus Lines and Yallambee Traralgon Village for the Aged, each representing industriesthat are core to the region’s business community.

The $26,000 for the initiative has been raised jointly by member businesses of the Gippsland Regional Executive Forum and contributions from the Committee for Gippsland and the Kindred Spirits Foundation.

Chair of the Gippsland Regional Executive Forum John Mitchell is a strong believer in Gippsland businesses supporting programs for a brighter future.

“The Gippsland Regional Executive Forum’s members understand that workforce mental health has a direct impact on productivity across Gippsland and consider this mental health pilot project as an investment in both our social and business enterprise capital,”Mr Mitchell said.

completed in February of this year.

“Lilly’s job is really to go around and in essence to give love and be loved,” Mr Brown said.

“Dogs are very forgiving ... if a child is escalating Lilly will sense that very quickly and just walk away, the children then want Lilly to come back to them and have to figure out what they need to do, it teaches them to self-regulate then Lilly will return.

“She supports children because she is very low skilled she isn’t able to draw, cut or build so it makes the children more comfortable trying those activities with no judgement.”

Mr Brown said Lilly also helped the children test their new ideas and the gentle giant worked at a lemonade

stand the children designed earlier in the week.

“Having a therapy dog becomes such a core feature to what your centre is, we have families coming in earlier to engage with Lilly and she becomes that connection for them to the centre.”

Mr Brown said Lilly also supports the staff when they are feeling anxious or overwhelmed.

“A therapy dog hold the same certificate as the person who is handling her, she works therapeutically. Lilly is able to offer animal assisted education which is quite special,” he said.

“She is something really special.”

FAMILIES at Goodstart Early Learning Morwell Central are greeted everyday with “50 kilograms of love and fluff”.

Lilly, the three-year-old Bernese mountain dog works fulltime at the centre providing a range of services to children and staff.

She is the first Certified Therapy Dog to work full-time in an early learning centre in the country.

Goodstart Early Learning Morwell Central director Nathan Brown said he went on a two-year waiting list before getting Lilly.

“We got Lilly as a puppy and the plan was for her to be a therapy dog

even before we got her.We researched the best breeds for therapy dogs in the world and it turns out that the Bernese mountain dogs were number one,” he said.

“They are not very well used in Australia because their life expectancy is not as high, they are quite expensive and the wait list for them is huge.”

Lilly undertook temperament training until she turned one and in October 2018 passed her formal training with Lead the Way Training Institute in Melbourne.

She worked alongside Mr Brown at another Goodstart centre in Traralgon before moving to Morwell when the Morwell Central site was

A NEW series of Baw Baw Shire pop-up sessions are about to get underway, with the first session to be held at the Erica Hall on Thursday, July 9 from 3pm-6pm.

All community members are welcome to attend and will be able to meet with and share any ideas or concerns they might have with councillors, members of the executive team and staff.

Council pop-up is an outreach program that aims to bring Baw Baw Shire closer to communities in both rural and major townships.

“We’re pleased to be able to host these sessions once again and spend time with communities across the Shire. Now more than ever, it’s important to check-in with residents to find out how they are going and how we can best meet their needs,” Mayor Danny Goss said.

The sessions offer an open-communication platform for community members to discuss ideas, ask questions and provide feedback directly to council.

Originally planned for earlier in the year but postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, Baw Baw Shire pop-up will visit Erica on July 9, Longwarry, Seaview and Yarragon (Monday, September 7).

Physical distancing measures will be in place at the sessions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all attendees.

No appointments are required, however, all attendees will need to provide their contact details on arrival.

Cool Group of Companies - Cool Aqua Springs & Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley...

A LOCAL SUCCESS STORY

The history behind the success A year before the turn of the century local boy, Alfi Prestipino, started selling bottled spring water from a trailer on his truck as a Big Wet distributor, and at the same time ran his home delivery soft drink business Loys.

More than 20 years later he and his business partner Gareth Williams stand as the Cool Group of Companies PTY LTD managing directors, encompassing six local business entities operating out of the Latrobe Valley servicing eastern Victoria and beyond.

Cool Aqua Springs was founded in 1999.

Prior to the ‘water inspiration’ Alfi worked selling glass bottles of soft drink but realization struck as he watched plastic bottles of soft drink being mass sold in supermarkets for a quarter of the price of glass, which clearly highlighted to him that glass bottles would no longer remain sustainable.

He managed to stay ahead of the curve and started working in what was a new industry at the time, selling bottled water.

“I purchased a little trailer in 1998, drove to Melbourne and back each day for supplies, and started selling water as a Big Wet distributor, knocking on doors and getting out there in the Valley,” Alfi said.

“The industry for bottled water was new at that time, it was virtually non-existent.”

Less than a year later, with the growth of the business

Alfi, back in the day, the real beginning. becoming more than Alfi could manage on his own, Cool Aqua Springs had its first employee, Gareth Williams.

Gareth joined forces with Alfi in a sales and delivery capacity, and soon saw a vision of what Cool Aqua Springs could become.

Gareth also grew up in Morwell with his parents Rosemary and Howard both teachers.

Gareth brought with him a variety of skills that he had gained from hospitality management.

“It was and still is an enormous challenge both building and maintaining our business, although it feels like a long time since we started we are both now only in our early

forties so there is still plenty left to achieve,” Gareth said.

Together they worked tirelessly to grow the business, and in April 2007, Gareth became a partner in the company.

“We would leave at two o’clock in the morning, load the vans then come back to the Valley to sell them and go back the next day. It was hard, hard work, and very tiring but you have to start somewhere” Alfi said.

Cool Aqua Springs added water filters to its repertoire, this was the first branch of the company.

Cool Aqua filters were an option for high usage customers and were also a cost-effective option for the

home owner, and remains an important part of the business to this day.

As the business continued to grow, travelling to Melbourne each day, filling vans full of water and returning to the Valley, was becoming too difficult for the two young local boys who at that time were only in their early twenties.

“My dad offered to build me a shed on one of his properties to lighten our load,” Alfi said.

“Once that was completed we started using it as a warehouse.

“I engaged a freight company to pick up the water for us and we operated out of that shed for about five years.

“Life became a whole lot easier, and we could focus on continuing to grow the business rather than spending hours of travelling time.”

At the same time the team rented a small office in Commercial Road Morwell and purchased a print media business.

They started printing docket books, business cards, producing and printing school magazines.

“From the print media business Cool Promotions was born and that started stemming into mainstream promotional products, printing and eventually uniforms,” Gareth said.

“Cool Promotions was more or less what has grown into

shape during this time, they could see the potential for Cool Group and planned to create one group that could service its customers with all business needs.

The Cool Group first broke into the heavy industrial sector after picking up Yallourn Power Station, Hazelwood Power Station and then hospitals like Latrobe Regional Hospital.

The company moved to 1 Jane Street, Morwell in 2005 and purchased a bottling plant which was its first big investment.

“The machine is still ticking over now and has processed over 75 million litres of water in the last 14 years,” he said.

Always hunting for new ventures that would service their quickly growing customer base the Cool Group introduced Cool Cafe in 2009.

Only three years later the company that had been supplying embroidery for Cool Promotions in Moe, Tricky Embroidery, came up for sale and was quickly purchased by Cool Group of Companies.

The dream for a one-stopshop for all uniform needs started to come to fruition for the Cool Group of Companies.

Alfi and Gareth wanted to move the embroidery business to Morwell, where they could sell garments and provide the embroidery as well.

This was the beginning of the new era.

Cool Group decided to become involved with Hip Pocket and opened their first store on Vestan Drive in Morwell in May 2014.

Yes, the savings STILL keep on coming!

Don’t mind if I do! Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull with Cool Aqua Springs bottled spring water.

The closure of ENGIE (Hazelwood Power Station) adversely affected Cool Group of Companies as a service provider to the power station.

They were eligible to apply for state government funding under the Hazelwood transition plan that led to federal government funding through the Regional Jobs and Investment Package.

Before applying for federal government assistance in the project the Cool Group of Companies received business mentorship through the Hazelwood Transition Program.

The Cool Group of Companies applied for the Regional Jobs and Investment Package in 2016 to combine operations of the group that at the time was working with a small group of employees between two Morwell sites.

The plan was to amalgamate the two businesses into one retail, and one manufacturing facility; bottling plant and produce new lines of bottling and labelling.

Painters add the finishing touches to the Hip Pocket logo.

Gareth Williams, former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Darren Chester MP and Alfi Prestipino.

The process was detailed and took almost a year before the funding was announced.

Alfi received a call from Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester’s office where he was asked to come to the Gippsland Rotary House for an announcement and was told that the Prime Minister at the time, Malcom Turnbull, would also be in attendance.

The Cool Group received the grant in 2017 for a space

Cool Group of Companies - Cool Aqua Springs & Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley...

A LOCAL SUCCESS STORY

The build begins

This striking banner highlighted the construction of Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley’s new home.

To say that the Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley store has upgraded is an understatement.

The original store in Vestan Drive, Morwell had a retail space of 300 square metres. The new building has over 1200 square metres of retail space, in addition, the total complex is in excess of 2500 square metres, plenty of room to move!

Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley at 1 Hollie Drive, Morwell, is hard to miss from the street, the impressive huge building is bright red with a huge Hip Pocket logo for all to see, and has multiple car parking spaces.

The huge industrial-looking retail space is filled with a massive range of clothing, shoes, construction management equipment and is even stocked with signage for businesses opening with current coronavirus restrictions.

On entering the store the staff are friendly and open, ready to help with suggestions for equipment and clothing sizes.

There is even a corner of the store dedicated to the business that started it all, with Cool Aqua Springs merchandise ready to be snapped up by local customers.

The roof bearings go on at the Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley building in Morwell.

The state-of-the-art retail showroom of Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley.

Signing the contract: Alfi Prestipino and Walter Furlan from Furlan Constructions.

Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley boasts of being the largest Hip Pocket store in Australia.

In the six years since opening Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley, the store is in the top five for sales nationwide, the employee base has increased to 18 since opening the new store, and is expected to grow to 24 by the end of next year.

Alfi says he has never been involved in a build such as the new store before, and it was hard work and a big learning curve.

The new store, or as they refer to it, ‘the big red shed’ took about 11 months to build.

“When we received the grant we made a promise to ourselves that

we would build using as many locals as we could, and the furthest we have had to trek out of the Latrobe region, but still in Gippsland, was Pakenham,” he said.

“We kept the majority of the money local and that was an agreement that we made with our builder, Furlan Constructions.”

Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley has conference rooms upstairs where accredited training providers will conduct safety training, first aid and specialised training that is required in the industry, emphasising the safety side of the business.

Alfi said the group realised they needed to upgrade their space when they started work on larger jobs around the country.

The larger space also means that Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley have the ability to expand their range and move into new sectors, such as supplying school wear, hospitality, corporate and the healthcare sector.

After a further eight months of planning the project started and the Cool Group of Companies struck ground at the new facility almost a year ago to the day.

The huge Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley store is open and welcoming customers, but the manufacturing plant has had some delays because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Cool Group of Companies envisage the manufacturing site will be open and processing by the end of the year.

Congratulations Alfi & Gareth

The Cool Group of Companies was built on the back of a local man, Alfi Prestipino, who has never lost sight of the town he grew up in.

Both Alfi and Gareth now run the business, both were born and bred in Morwell, and were introduced through a previous workplace.

Gareth joined Alfi in 2000 with a focus on sales and delivery.

The pair produced and starred in their own cheeky television advertisements in the early 2000’s that gained Cool Group partner Gareth the local name of ‘the water boy.’ And although he will deny it, the first logos for the business included a character that looks remarkably like ‘Alfi’.

Gareth said that although the advertisements were a bit of fun at the time, they managed to gain real recognition for the business.

“At the start of the business we were not doing constant deliveries like we are now, we would load up the van for our planned deliveries and offer free trials, we were basically door-todoor salesmen,” he said.

“The ad was running all over the television, I was the guy that was in the ad but I was also the guy that was knocking on people’s doors. I was recognised on their doorstops and even in towns I had never been to before.”

“We came up with the ad, we made the props and I will never forget filming that first ad on Church Street, we had a ball.”

“It really was an integral part of the whole journey, that first advertisement put us on the map in terms of exposure.”

As the business grew so did Alfi’s family, he met his future wife Donna in the early 2000s and she helped him with sales early on in the Cool Group of Companies story. Twenty years on and she still continues to support the boys working wherever she can.

“Our business was getting up there in 2008, we had staff, and we had a business. We married, and our honeymoon to Thailand was the first time I was actually able to have an international holiday,” Alfi said.

Alfi and Donna had their first child, Riley a year later followed by Kiana in 2010, and Alfi says

without them he would not be the person he is today.

“Everything I do for this business I do for my family,” Alfi said.

“I am building this legacy for my children’s future.

“When I started to have a family it changed my perspective of the business.

“Just after we applied for the grant in 2016 I had a brain aneurism. It was a huge wake up call for me. I did not know if I was going to live, let alone get back to work, and I had to consider if the Cool Group of Companies dream, including the new builds, was something I wanted to continue pursuing.

“It changed my view of life and of the business. After I had the brain aneurism, without the support of my family I probably would not have recovered or been able to come back to work with the mindset that I have.

“I must also thank my friends and business associates who stood by me all the way.

“It was a beautiful thing that I was getting not only friends and family but business associates

coming to the hospital in Melbourne, where I stayed for six weeks. Everyone gave me so much support.”

Five years on, Alfi is opening the doors to the building he had only ever imagined, and he chalks up his recovery and strength to those around him.

“Over the journey there has been many challenges and both ups and downs however without the support of my family I could not have achieved what we have to this point,” Alfi said.

When Gareth came on board he recalls the business being run out of Alfi’s bedroom “we were both kids really back then”. Later that year he met his future partner Laura who also became part of the sales team in the formative years of Cool Aqua Springs.

“As the business grew so did our families” with the arrival of Maddison in 2008 and Royden 2013,” Gareth said.

“This brought a whole new dynamic to the business, the water-boys were starting to grow up.”

What’s the big idea?

Congratulations

Wishing your business never ending success for many years of operation.

A great achievement...

Thanks for letting us be involved in the building process.

Riley and Kiana Prestipino helped Dad donating water to relief centre in Kernot Hall, Morwell during bushfires.

Born and bred in Morwell, Alfi remains passionate about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;his own backyardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and continues to prioritise Latrobe Valley as an integral part of the Cool Group of Companies, ensuring they employ locals and spend their money locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about supporting local, buying local, and giving backâ&#x20AC;? says Alfi determinedly.

The focus on spending local extends to sponsorship. Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley/Cool Aqua Springs sponsor more than 35 sporting clubs throughout the Latrobe Valley, spending in excess of $70,000 in 2019 and are always looking to support more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are strong believers in spending where we earn and supporting our local communities, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to all of us here,â&#x20AC;? Alfi said.

Australian Rules Football is one of the sports that has been a beneficiary of Hip Pocket/Cool Aqua Springsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sponsorship throughout the Latrobe Valley region.

The Cool Group of Companies sponsor more than 35 sporting clubs and are always looking to support more.

Cool Group of Companies - Cool Aqua Springs & Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley...

A LOCAL SUCCESS STORY

The future looks bright

One hundred and fifty metres down the road from Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley in Morwell is Cool Aqua Springs new production warehouse on Saskia Way. The new production warehouse will open the doors for new possibilities for Cool Aqua Springs.

It will have the capacity to produce its own bottles, expand the range of bottle sizing, and offer private promotional labels on water bottles.

Coronavirus restrictions have stalled the completion of this project which Cool Group of Companies envisages will be up and running at the end of this year.

Once open the production plant will offer more opportunities for local jobs in Morwell.

Cool Aqua Springs current production plant produces about 100 bottle an hour, once operational the new facility will produce 450 bottles an hour.

The range of bottles will expand to include 15 litre returnable bottles, 12 litre, 1.5 litre and 600 millilitre bottles.

“The reusable bottles that will be manufactured onsite will end the need for travelling long distances, taking more trucks off the road and reducing the company’s carbon emissions,” Alfi said.

The new production warehouse for Cool Aqua Springs on Saskia Way, Morwell is currently underway.

The Cool Group of Companies has never been one to trail behind the industry, they are always looking for new ways to service current customers and invest in new and exciting projects, like personal printing on bottles known as promotional printing.

Promotional printing means that businesses will have the opportunity to commission logos or branding labels on water bottles, it is an up and coming market in the water bottling industry and is just one more way Cool Group of Companies is staying ahead of the curve.

Once Promo Water is up and running the Cool Group will open the service to private commissions

as a unique way to celebrate weddings, anniversaries or 21st birthdays, customers will be able to order their own personal water bottles for the occasion.

The new production plant will also allow for the Cool Group of Companies to start researching and manufacturing new products.

“We are researching other materials that we can make bottles out of because we understand where the market is going in terms of plastic, we are not oblivious to that,” Gareth said.

“The returnable bottle industry has also been a good environmental option because they have a pretty long lifespan and can be refilled over and over, but there

is still a market for one way bottles.

“Not only will we be bottling the water, we will also be blow moulding our own bottles.

“Starting with what looks like a test tube, it will be blown into a bottle. Then it gets filled, capped, shrink wrapped and then out the door.

“No one else this side of the eastern suburbs is doing that sort of production.”

While the stunning Hip Pocket Latrobe Valley store is up and running it is only part one of the massive upgrade for the Cool Group of Companies.

The project will be finalised once the production site for Cool Aqua Springs is officially opened and there is still so much more to come from the local company.

The Cool Group of Companies is the epitome of a local company looking after its home towns and can be summed up in a slogan that Managing Director Alfi Prestipino attaches to the signature of all his emails:

“Coming together is the beginning, staying together is progress, but working together is success”.

Opportunity knocks now when it comes to irrigation

Second wave of panic buying

By KATE WITHERS

COLES and Woolworths have been forced to reinstate product purchase limits on some items in response to a second wave of mindless panic buying.

The measures were reintroduced on Wednesday and come as shelves are once again stripped of bare necessities, namely toilet paper, amid tightened coronavirus restrictions across Victoria.

Woolworths described the move as â&#x20AC;&#x153;preventativeâ&#x20AC;?, after â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantly elevated demandâ&#x20AC;? for certain items in parts of Melbourne.

But managing director Claire Peters reiterated the supermarket giant had ample stock to meet demand.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand many Victorians are anxious about the recent community outbreak, but they can be assured our stores will remain open with plenty of stock ... to replenish our shelves,â&#x20AC;? Ms Peters said.

Similarly, Coles Group chief executive officer Steven Cain urged shoppers to practice common sense and buy only what they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We ask that customers continue to shop normally so that everyone can have access to the food and groceries they need,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cain said.

And, despite having just one active case of COVID-19, it seems the Latrobe Valley isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immune to the most recent outbreak of senseless stockpiling.

Morwell Neighbourhood house manager

Tracie Lund said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;frustratedâ&#x20AC;? to see the return of panic buying, which often proves detrimental for the most vulnerable members of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know our most vulnerable community members are the ones hit hardest when we stockpile,â&#x20AC;? Ms Lund told The Express. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got limited income, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to shop around and go from store to store to look for and purchase the most basic items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sort of behaviour has a significant impact on their ability to get the basics and simply get by.â&#x20AC;?

Local charities and community groups have been stretched thin throughout the

pandemic as demand for services such as food banks hits an all-time high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just coming out of the last episode and recovering from that, so this is extremely disappointing,â&#x20AC;? Ms Lund said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds an enormous amount of pressure to emergency relief and food banks on the ground doing direct critical support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it harder for us to help and all it does is increase demand on our already tight budgets to deliver these services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical we keep our cool right now and be measured in our response and look carefully at ourselves, get only what we need, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to stockpile.â&#x20AC;?

Empty Esky initiative aimed at helping regions

IN an effort to rebuild fire-affected regions, not-for-profit initiative Empty Esky is helping aid the recovery of communities and businesses around Australia.

Empty Esky, founded earlier this year

by Eleanor Baillieu and Erin Boutros, is a national tourism movement encouraging Australians to get behind fire-affected communities by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;filling an empty Eskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with local produce and goods from small businesses.

Empty Esky facilitates a simple and

effective way for Australians to embark on road trips to regional towns - travellers can play a trip via the Empty Esky website by downloading an itinerary or by creating their own route via the interactive map on the Empty Esky website.

Ms Baillieu said the support would help travellers and businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thousands of Australians have already taken the pledge to go on an Empty Esky adventure and now with the website improvements, all 500 businesses registered on the Empty Esky website will be

easily identified and searched,â&#x20AC;? she said.

In late 2019 and early 2020, thousands of families lost their homes and businesses when the bushfires raged across Australia.

The fires also resulted in damage to the agriculture, produce and tourism industries that support the livelihood of many regional communities.

It has been estimated the Australian tourism industry took a $4.5 billion hit because of the bushfires and COVID-19

pandemic that has forced state border closures and sent Australia into lockdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the COVID-19 restrictions beginning to ease, we are excited to launch pre-prepared Empty Esky itineraries, making it even easier for Australians to hit the road and support a fire-affected community,â&#x20AC;? Ms Baillieu said.

CENTRAL Gippsland has a great opportunity to grasp new economic opportunities and job creation through the expansion of irrigation in the region.

Nationals Member for Gippsland South Danny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said state government funding for a new feasibility study for expanding irrigation in the region was the culmination of a lot of lobbying and hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased that the state government has listened to my calls to seize the opportunity to expand irrigation in Central Gippsland,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a significant volume of allocated but unused water in the Latrobe system that could be, and should be, put to better use supporting irrigated agriculture in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been lobbying for some time now for the (state) government to allocate that water to agriculture and the announcement of a new $500,000 feasibility study is a step in the right direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate the irrigators along the Latrobe River who have worked with me to push the government into making this step.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said there is currently around 80,000 megalitres of unused water in the Latrobe system stored in Blue Rock Dam, most of which could be put toward expanding irrigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have long said that we should be looking to double the size and output of the Macalister Irrigation District (MID) which should be examined by this study as well as increasing irrigation along the Latrobe River,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunities for irrigation in part come about as Latrobe Valley coal mine water use winds down. As we transition away from coal the sustainable, permanent jobs provided by irrigation could help the region as it transitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to working with the government and local irrigators on the options which should include consideration of expansion of irrigation along the Latrobe River, transfer of Latrobe River water into the Thomson system and then the MID, and the potential for increased use of glass houses and high-value agricultural and horticultural production.â&#x20AC;?

Iconic Holden races to new record fought it out, both with the intention to keep the car within Australia.”

After the car being flagged last minute as a potential export ban from the federal government, where it may have been unable to leave Australian soil, the scenario ended up being voided.

The winning bidder of the Monaro wishes to remain anonymous.

“The auction had a 95 per cent sell-through rate of cars all with very strong prices showing that the market is as strong as ever,” Mr Hames said.

Australian market cars weren’t the only ones set to break records with both American and more particularly European luxury indicating that markets are extremely strong here.

“It was fantastic to see the amount of people that tuned into the auction online from all over the world to watch the five-hour live event,” Mr Hames said.

“The strong bidding and prices achieved for these cars and even the bikes in particular was great. I think it is fantastic that the majority of bidders were Australian, meaning the cars remain on Australian soil.”

With the Holden Monaro remaining on home soil and the majority of bidders being Australian it is safe to say that enthusiasts nationwide are extremely proud and passionate people, fighting to keep their beloved cars in the country where they can enjoy them.

That’s a record: The 1969 HT Monaro sold for $715,000 at the weekend.

Supporting poultry THE Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is backing calls to support contract poultry farmers who are under extreme price pressures from processors and the supermarkets.

VFF president David Jochinke said that although chicken was the most popular protein choice for Australian consumers, the popularity on dinner tables was not benefiting contract growers.

“We know Australian’s love a cooked chook but the growers simply aren’t seeing any benefit at all from the increase in demand,” Mr Jochinke said.

A life-saver: The new defibrillator at the Toongabbie General Store.

Lifesaver for community THE Toongabbie-based Lions Club of Wellington/ Latrobe and the Heyfield and District Community Bank joined together with the Toongabbie General Store in a venture to potentially save lives for the local community and visitors to the area.

A defibrillator (AED) has been purchased with funds donated by the two organisations.

This life-saving device will be available for community and visitor use should the need arise.

It will be installed in the Toongabbie General Store and accessible during opening hours of the store - statistics show that the use of an AED when giving first aid to a heart attack victim can be live-saving.

“In the last decade the price of lamb, beef and pork has steadily risen but the retail price of chicken has been flat.”

According to ABARES, between 2008 and 2017 the retail price of chicken decreased from 551 c/kg to 534 c/kg, while beef, lamb and pork all rose.

“The problem is twofold. On the retail front supermarkets are keeping chicken prices low, while the closure of a number of Victorian processors has limited competition and choice for growers,” Mr Jochinke said.

“The situation really is dire for

Bushwalkers are busy

STRZELECKI Bushwalking Club is set for a busy month in July.

There has been a significant increase in people enjoying the June activities offered by the club.

Many visitors have taken advantage of the club’s hospitality and “had a go” at bushwalking on some of the easier walks with a number joining the club as a result.

Some of the club’s more experienced and adventurous members recently enjoyed an overnight hike to Mt Ligar (the Crinoline) via Mt Tamboritha.

This hike took advantage of the full moon. In contrast was a pitch black bike hike on the Grand Strzelecki Rail Trail which included dinner at the Mirboo North Brewery.

The club’s winter program includes some snow activities,

which have proven to be very popular in the past.

Unfortunately, the recent revision of restrictions by the Premier means that the club will continue their Zoom Club meetings, with the July meeting on Wednesday, July 8 at 7.30pm.

Members will be emailed a link to the meeting.

Non-members who are interested in being part of the July meeting are encouraged to register on the SBWC Facebook page or to contact Jo at publicity@sbwc.org.au.

The club’s current monthly newsletter is available for non-members to view.

It contains the walks for the month and can be found at sbwc.org.au. Visitors interested in joining one of the walks below should contact Jo at publicity@sbwc.org.au.

The VFF is backing the call for an ACCC inquiry into the poultry meat industry.

“Let’s not beat around the bush on this. We know there are serious competition issues in the chicken meat industry and it’s time for the Treasurer to bring in the ACCC to investigate,” Mr Jochinke said.

Wine Australia new chair has been appointed FEDERAL Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud yesterday announced Dr Michele Allan as the Wine Australia Chair, commencing on July 4.

Mr Littleproud said Dr Allan’s three-year appointment would provide certainty for the corporation, particularly to support Wine Australia and industry through the challenges experienced this year, including bushfires and COVID-19.

“Dr Allan brings a wide range of skills and experiences which will ensure our world renowned wine industry remains globally competitive and productive,” he said.

“She has a strong understanding of agribusiness, public policy and regulation within food and agriculture industries, R&D portfolio structure and management, enterprise risk management, and science and innovation.

“Dr Allan has previously held chair positions with Meat & Livestock Australia and the Wheat Industry Advisory Taskforce and currently with Apple and Pear Australia Limited and the Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre. She was also previously a director of with Wine Australia and the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation.”

Globally, Australia is the sixth largest producer and the fifth largest exporter of wine, with exports worth about $2.8 billion.

Mr Littleproud said Dr Allan would play a key role in the figure climbing.

“Dr Allan will be instrumental in overseeing a growing demand for Australian wine overseas and promoting Australian wine internationally as some of the safest, most sustainable and highest quality wine in the world,” he said.

“She will also help to implement the Australian wine industry’s Vision 2050 which aims to guide the sector’s focus and growth over the next three decades.

“I have every confidence that Dr Allan will provide the strong leadership needed to ensure research funding is directed towards priorities that directly benefit the industry.”

AN Australian record was broken at the weekend where the iconic Holden HT Monaro race car achieved the highest price for an Australian Holden sold at auction at the weekend.

The 1969 HT Monaro 57D race car fetched $715,000 at auction this weekend selling under the hammer to an Australian enthusiast.

“We are extremely excited that the car will remain within Australia, this important Holden achieved the highest price for a road registerable Australian Holden ever sold at auction,” Lloyds Auctions chief operating officer Lee Hames said.

Travellers testing mandatory VICTORIA will implement mandatory testing for all returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

The state has been testing returned travellers twice - on day 3 and day 11 - but from Sunday, the day 11 test will be a mandatory requirement to be eligible for release after 14 days.

Those who refuse to comply with testing will be required to remain in quarantine for a further 10 days - 24 in total - to ensure they pose no risk of introducing coronavirus to the Victorian community.

“While we’ve got hundreds of testers out in our hotspots, we are also strengthening our hotel quarantine program - as we continue to work hard to slow the spread of coronavirus,” Premier Daniel Andrews said.

“If you’re sick, stay home and get tested. We’re making it easier than ever, but we need everyone to do their part.”

The state government signed legal directions on Saturday night, which ensures the small number of travellers who are currently in hotel quarantine who have declined to

take the test, have now been tested and the processing of results has been prioritised.

Victoria has managed over 19,000 returned travellers through hotel quarantine with less than 1 per cent returning a positive result during their quarantine period.

Victorian pathologists have been processing up to 22,000 tests a day and with the help of labs in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Queensland, that capacity has increased to least 25,000 tests every single day.

Australian Defence Force personnel have also landed in Victoria to assist with our testing blitz and the transportation of pathology samples interstate when required.

A massive squad of 1000 doorknockers will also continue their outreach, going door to door to ensure locals have the latest health advice.

The state government is urging locals in these priority areas to get tested - particularly if you have symptoms.

Pet project: A still from The Great Escape, Italian Style by Morwell export Josie Montano, which is being transformed from a play to a short film.

A family’s tale provides inspiration

By CHER JIMENEZ

JOSIE MONTANO Nonno and nonna were unaware of the situation and assumed that they were picking up their grandson who was gone on a holiday, from a hotel named after a saint.

They were oblivious to the fact that Jake was all wrapped up in a straitjacket and even complimented him about his new dress style.That’s

girl, she said there were times that she felt ostracised.

“We felt so different, we were ostracised by our peers in school. We didn’t have a big Italian community at school unlike in Catholic schools and people didn’t understand Italian culture,” she said.

As the short film was originally based on a true family road trip, so some of the characters.

Ms Montano is playing the role of the nonna while her husband, Rob McLachlan, is playing the nonno.

“We met in an Italian play 20 years ago where we played husband and wife and now we’re doing the same roles again,” she said.

They have two adult children, including a son with autism (Asperger syndrome) who were also appearing in cameo roles in the film.

Ms Montano finds it interesting that she’s working with a team of young people including a 22-yearold, who is also on the spectrum and co-producing with her.

The team is trying to raise a total of $5000 to finish filming in Brisbane.

THE autumn 2020 Firewood Collection Season will close across the state at midnight tomorrow.

Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) chief fire officer Chris Hardman said from July 1 it is illegal to collect firewood and there are serious penalties for failing to follow firewood collection rules.

“Under Victorian legislation, firewood can only be collected during the firewood collection seasons from March 1 to June 30, 2020 (autumn season) and September 1 to November 30, 2020 (spring season),” he said.

“Limits are in place to prevent households stockpiling large volumes of firewood from public land and denying others a supply.”

Any information the community may have about the illegal removal of firewood for sale can be reported to DELWP on 136 186.

Concession card holders who rely only on buying firewood for home heating may be eligible for the non-mains energy concession.

More information is available on the Department of Health and Human Services website: https://services.dhhs.vic.gov.au/ non-mains-energy-concession Victorians on low incomes (both concession card and non-concession card holders) who rely on buying firewood and have experienced unexpected financial hardship may also be eligible to apply for the non-mains utility relief grant of up to $650 to help with firewood costs.

A person may apply for the grant if they have an amount owing for a previous firewood purchase, or if they will not be able to afford their next firewood purchase.

Information on eligibility for the NonMains Utility Relief Grant Scheme can be found at: https://services.dhhs.vic.gov.au/ utility-relief-grant-scheme-non-mains For more information on available financial assistance, community members should phone the Concessions information line on 1800 658 521.

FFMVic supports domestic firewood provision through the creation of firewood collection areas on public land and a list of these areas can be found at www.ffm.vic.gov. au/firewood During the designated collection periods an individual can collect a maximum of two cubic metres of firewood in a day and may collect up to 16 cubic metres per household per financial year.

Those planning on collecting firewood before the season ends should be considerate, use common sense, follow physical distancing requirements and stay safe..

AN Italian-themed comedy/drama based on a road trip in Gippsland is set to tickle the world’s funny bone this year.

Morwell’s own internationally acclaimed author and playwright Josie Montano’s one-act play The Great Escape Italian Style is being transformed into a short film feature that is poised to grace both national and international film festivals.

Ms Montano, who is now based in Brisbane, said the film was plucked out from a one-act play she wrote 12 years ago.

“The film was based on a long car ride from Morwell to Inverloch with my parents whilst visiting back in 2005, should’ve taken one hour, but took three hours,” she said.

The story takes place inside Nonno Giacobbo’s car.

Inside are his wife Nonna Pina (an alter-ego that Ms Montano developed in her books), their daughter Maria and her son Jake.

Jake, with the help of his mum, has escaped from a mental health institution and the two were being picked up by his grandparents.

where the fun begins as they go on a ride with comic and drama on the side.

Ms Montano said most ItaloAustralians would identify with her four characters that represent three generations of the Italian culture.

You have the grandparents who even after migrating into an unknown territory have held onto their culture and traditions and the grandchild who could not relate to his nonno and nonna.

Ms Montano, also a celebrated children’s book author and specialising in autism, said in the middle was the “sandwich generation” who sits between their parents and their grandchildren, and who’s “embarrassed by their culture growing up, yet fiercely defensive of it at the same time”.

“They were a resilient lot, and because I’m proud of my heritage and culture I also want to ensure that I respectfully deliver a hilarious dramedy whilst also peeling back some layers that expose the tragicomic situations of all three generations,” she said.

St Mary’s Primary School reflects on a term like no other

AS Term 2 came to a close, staff, students and parents of St Mary’s Primary School in Newborough reflected on a term like no other.

Like so many other Australian school communities, St Mary’s was thrown out of their comfort zone when remote learning was announced in Victoria at the end of Term 1.

“At first remote learning was daunting for our school community, but I am so proud of the way that parents, staff and children adapted to a new way of learning,” principal Lisa Broeren said.

Teachers embraced the challenge and took the opportunity to show their creative side.

Some teachers held virtual class birthday parties and virtual guided reading sessions, while others kept the home-school connection fun by presenting learning content in pyjamas or in front of a green screen.

“The staff went over and above to ensure that students and parents remained connected and that children were engaged in meaningful learning.

We faced some challenges, but since coming back to school we have noticed some real positives,” Ms Broeren said.

Hard at work: The students took to online learning with aplomb.

All smiles: Students from St Mary’s Primary School in Newborough were rapt to be back at school after a relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Online: St Mary’s students are enjoying increased use of technology.

Year 4 student Ben said: “I liked sleeping in during remote learning, but I really like seeing my friends at school.”

Foundation student Robert said: “When we learn at home we finish early and that’s good. But when we go to school we get to have recess and lunch with our friends.”

Since returning to onsite learning, St Mary’s has harnessed some of the skills

that the children learnt while studying at home.

The Year 6 students are now confidently recording themselves running the weekly assembly.

This is then shared to parents and other grades via an online communication platform. The school has conducted virtual tours and information meetings for prospective parents.

many online meetings with her students.

“While it was great to communicate with kids online, nothing compares to having their smiling faces back in the classroom, learning alongside their friends,” she said.

Foundation student Violet was rapt to be back in class: “I love being back at school. I get to see my friends and my teachers and I think school’s the best!”

“The junior children have gained so much independence through the necessity of having to say goodbye to their parents at the door,” Foundation teacher Emma Anderson said.

“Children are now coming in, unpacking their own bags and getting their learning materials organised for the day.”

Year 2/3 teacher Alyssa-Jane Bell held

Take control and transform your life

DO you want to take control of your life and make positive changes?

For the past eight years, that is what the women attending the Increasing Women’s Options course at Traralgon Neighbourhood Learning House, have had the opportunity to do.

“The positive response from past participants has been overwhelming. Often life experiences can lead to a loss of confidence and self-esteem, loss of direction and increased anxiety, which can hold you back

from living your best life,” Adult Education officer Julie Callahan said.

“However, this life changing course enables women to identify and build on their strengths, improve communication skills and increase their confidence and skills to pursue their goals.

“We are so impressed with the transformation women can make to their lives after attending this course we have renamed it ‘Transforming Women’.

“Our wonderful transformation facilitator Aisha Alim brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in personal development, workshop facilitation and life coaching and has a passion for empowering people to develop a positive mindset, find their true purpose and live a happier and healthier lifestyle.”

The Transforming Women program is full of fun, challenges and new experiences to assist women discover and explore their potential. It is ideal for those wishing to return to study, re-enter the workforce and explore new opportunities.

The Transforming Women program will be held on Tuesdays starting mid-July to December.

Winner: Auf Weidersehen (yellow and blue striped cap) makes his run for home at Moe on Thursday.

Matthews delighted after victory

HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

CRANBOURNE trainer Ray Matthews currently has just the one horse in work.

So it was no wonder he sported a smile as broad as Luna Park after that galloper Auf Weidersehen returned to the winner’s circle at Moe on Thursday.

Auf Weidersehen ($3.80 into $3) landed some good bets as he sealed the S & S Equipment Hire Benchmark 58 Handicap (2423m).

Ridden by Craig Newitt, the fiveyear-old son of Lucas Cranach, powered through the Heavy 9 conditions to win by a length and a quarter from Ablestock.

The win was just the second of Auf Weidersehen’s 13-start career and arrived 10 months after his first at Moe, also on a Heavy track.

“He likes it here,” Matthews said post-race.

“He was a bit unlucky last start (when fourth), but all credit today to the rider (Newitt), he got the horse to where it needed to be.”

Matthews has had a long association with the industry, training for more than 40 years, starting with standardbreds, before switching to thoroughbreds nearly 30 years ago.

“I’ve only got the one galloper in work,” he said.

“I’m pretty proud of him. He finished it off well today, at the 400m mark I knew they would find it hard to get past him.”

Newitt, who has been riding in Victoria due to restrictions imposed on the racing industry in Tasmania, produced a gem of a ride, putting his nearest rival Jaden Lloyd aboard Like The Clappers in a pocket when he made his run for home and the rest was history.

If you were a punter following family connections, you would have had a fill-up.

First jockey Jake Noonan and his father Tony teamed up with Kimberley Spirit ($14), the impressive winner of the Nextra Moe Maiden Plate (1108m).

The three-year-old daughter of Wandjina had put in two midfield efforts on top of the ground, but found another level on the heavy, strolling home by four lengths.

“I always had a good opinion of the filly, but I was concerned about whether she would handle the track,” Tony Noonan said.

“It was a lovely ride from Jake and she just blew them away. She’s still a bit soft and immature, but I’m pleased with the result today and she’ll take a lot from that run.”

The Carson clan of jockey Michael and trainer Gary struck later in the program when evergreen mare Rubyanna Jane

Dee at the double for Payne stable HORSE RACING

JOCKEY Michael Dee seized the opportunity created by the suspension of Billy Egan to ride a winning double for in-form trainer Paddy Payne at Moe on Thursday.

The Kiwi hoop proved a punters pal as he partnered the well-supported Code Blue and Away Cruising to victory.

Code Blue ($3.10fav) produced one of the most eye-catching wins of the day in the Ladbrokes Odds Boost Maiden (1614m).

A daughter of Tavistock, the three-year-old had took out the Moe Optical Class 1 Handicap (1008m).

Rubyanna Jane ($10 into $8.50) denied Quesadilla by a long-neck for the second win of her 32-start career.

Jockey Kate Walters and her dad Wayne completed the family hat-trick as The Armani belied his $41 starting price to beat favourite Prince Alby in the Ladbrokes Back Yourself Benchmark 58 Handicap (2423m).

The nine-year-old has been a wonderful performer for the Walters stable as highlighted by the fact Thursday’s win was his 13th of his career.

“That’s the first time he’s won at a mile and a half, he always seems to go alright here,” Wayne Walters said.

The Executioner ($3fav) signalled he is a horse to follow in the Ladbrokes Benchmark 64 Handicap (1208m).

The three-year-old colt, ridden by James Winks, held off home-tracker Kamien by a long-neck.

Favourite Wunambal ($2.25) held off Frisson in the Moe Parklands Motel 2yo Maiden Plate (1200m) for trainer Matt Laurie and jockey Ben Melham.

Mosscon ($7) was the day’s other victor in the Ladbrokes Same Race Multi 3yo Fillies Maiden Plate (1208m).

It proved a fruitful win for the David Brideoake-trained filly, earned $38,045 due to Super VOBIS bonuses.

The race was robbed of interest with Willygood, scratched by stewards.

The debutant, who had been $101 into $4.60, was not present at trainer Cliff Murray’s property when stewards conducted a routine stable inspection on Thursday morning.

Murray told stewards the filly was stabled at his other property, which is not a licenced premises.

He was fined $750.

disappointed at Casterton in her previous outing, but with a more positive ride, revelled in the heavy conditions for a dominant four-length success.

Payne was delighted with the performance.

“She’s a nice horse and got the right sort of ground today,” he said post-race.

“The way she went today, I think she will make a nice 2000m-2400m horse.”

There was a strong New Zealand connection with Dee and Payne’s other winner Away Cruising in the Hydro Australia Benchmark 64 Handicap (1614m).

Strategy on sport and recreation SPORT

SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council adopted the 2020-2030 Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Strategy last week.

The strategy identifies the key issues affecting sport and recreation in South Gippsland and addresses council’s current commitment to recreation reserves and stadiums.

The strategy also proposes principles, priorities, and actions to guide future decision making in regard to providing and maintaining sport and recreation assets.

The strategy is a key planning document as the council works to ensure that the way it identifies future infrastructure projects and allocates its limited capital works budget is based on rigorous and transparent processes.

South Gippsland Shire chair administrator Julie Eisenbise is confident that the strategy will support council’s provision of sport and recreation assets.

“Sport and recreation has a long history of being passionately valued by South Gippsland communities. Generations of toil and commitment from dedicated volunteers have created a broad range of sport and recreation facilities within the municipality,” she said.

“The South Gippsland 2020-2030 Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Strategy has been developed to provide a framework for the future management, renewal and improvement of this infrastructure by council and the community.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank those members of the community who took the time to provide responses to the strategy while it was still in draft form. The adopted strategy is so much better for the input of those who use and love the community infrastructure council provides,” Ms Eisenbise said.

Council will be undertaking plans for basketball, football, netball and cricket commencing with basketball in 2020/21.

Statements from local competitions Gippsland League The Gippsland League is excited to announce the Under-16s and Under-18s football season and Under-13s, Under-15s and Under-17s netball season will commence on Saturday, July 18, 2020.

The nine-week home and away season will be played for premiership points followed by a four week finals series that will conclude with a grand final on the weekend of October 10.

The Gippsland League club presidents, along with AFL Gippsland representatives, discussed a 2020 senior football and netball season.

It was determined and supported by all that the senior season for 2020 would be abandoned.

Whilst it was disappointing to abandon the 2020 senior season the sustainability of all clubs has always been the priority.

AFL Gippsland acknowledge the direction and unity amongst the club presidents during the most unprecedented times and congratulate them for their leadership.

Together we now begin to put plans in place for the 2021 senior season, a season that promises to be like no other.

For 2020 our immediate attention now turns towards the junior Gippsland League football and netball season.

Page 22 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 29 June, 2020

Have to wait for next year: Morwell will not get the chance to defend their Gippsland League A-Grade netball premiership until 2021 following the abandonment of the 2020 season.

Mid Gippsland Football Netball League

North Gippsland Football Netball League

Following discussion with our member clubs and recent COVID-19 announcements by the Premier of Victoria Mr Daniel Andrews, which outlined the tightening of some social distancing measures and the threat of a secondary COVID-19 wave, Mid Gippsland Football Netball League (MGFNL) believe the most socially responsible decision is to abandon our 2020 senior football and netball competitions.

The board of the NGFNL together with all member clubs have conducted extensive analysis and significant due diligence around the impacts of COVID19, and the associated return to play policies imposed by AFL Victoria. We understand and appreciate the time frames associated with this process may have caused some frustration, but we can unashamedly say, we have left no stone unturned in our decision-making process or in our desire to find a workable solution.

We have been in constant dialog with our member clubs and agree the absolute and responsible actions moving forward should remain focused on the safety and welfare of all community members and club sustainability.

We trust this decision will be viewed as a significant contribution to help end the threat of COVID-19 in Victoria despite the angst we know this decision will bring to many.

Throughout our decision-making process we have considered the unknown demands and implications around additional workloads on club volunteers, compliance and monitoring records for clubs and past uncertainty around crowd participation.

Whilst we acknowledge these are unprecedented times these issues exacerbate the frustrations everyone is experiencing within community sport.

We appreciate the support of all volunteers during these difficult times and trust every player and volunteer will return in future years.

In conclusion whilst we cannot proceed with season 2020, we will be focusing on junior retention and junior development programs providing opportunities for our junior football and netball competitions and preparing for an exciting 2021 of competition.

Accordingly, the NGFNL will abandon season 2020 for all senior football and netball competitions.

Our decision was influenced by many factors such as the recent COVID-19 announcements by the Premier of Victoria Mr Daniel Andrews, ongoing social distancing requirements, the threat of a secondary COVID-19 wave, increased volunteer workloads, compliance expectations and with the simple reality around player and patron numbers attending our venues and under what circumstances they can attend has ongoing limitations which will impact the commercial viability of community clubs.

We could not justify or envisage a return to “business as usual” and nor are we prepared to risk the health and wellbeing of people nor club sustainability.

Our board and member clubs sincerely desire to thank all volunteers, club members, sponsors and significant others who make our brand respected and have endured this journey with us. We have appreciated your patience, valued your support and trust you will all join us again in 2021 Finally, whilst we cannot proceed with a senior competition, we will turn our attention on the junior aspects of our league and hope to deliver some opportunities for our young players who are the future of our respective football and netball competitions.

netball off for 2020 THE Gippsland, Mid Gippsland and North Gippsland competitions have pulled the pin on senior football and netball for season 2020.

Mid Gippsland was the first domino to fall with the league’s executive reaching a decision on Wednesday night after deciding a partial season under current coronavirus restrictions was not viable for affiliate clubs.

In a statement released on Thursday, MGFNL president Gary Matthews said the decision to abandon the 2020 season was “the most socially responsible” one.

“We have been in constant dialog with our member clubs and agree the absolute and responsible actions moving forward should remain focused on the safety and welfare of all community members and club sustainability,” Matthews said.

“We trust this decision will be viewed as a significant contribution to help end the threat of COVID-19 in Victoria despite the angst we know this decision will bring to many.”

“Our decision was influenced by the many factors such as the recent COVID19 announcements by the Premier of Victoria, ongoing social distancing requirements, the threat of a secondary

Membrey and Ainsworth star as Saints, Suns seal victories FOOTBALL

TRARALGON export Tim Membrey played a starring role as St Kilda stunned reigning premiers Richmond by 26 points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.

Membrey booted three goals and featured prominently among the Saints best in the 15.3 (93) to 10.7 (67) win.

The withdrawal of Paddy Ryder saw St Kilda adopt a more mobile forward line with Membrey at the centre.

He thrived as the key tall in attack, finishing with 13 possessions, seven marks and 3.1 in his best performance of 2020 to date.

Membrey was among a raft of Saints forwards to sparkle, with former Richmond man Dan Butler and Jack Lonie impressing.

Butler, traded to St Kilda during the offseason, started the match in style, snapping

his side’s first goal of the afternoon and then set up Membrey with a classy kick.

Goals in the second and third term rounded out a great game for the 2017 premiership player, who was a popular winner of the Ian Stewart Medal as best on ground.

Another week, another win for the Gold Coast Suns.

Morwell product Ben Ainsworth snagged two goals and finished with 12 possessions (seven kicks, five handballs) as the Suns defeated Fremantle 10.4 (64) to 8.3 (51) at Metricon Stadium.

He produced a quick snap to put the stamp on a third win in succession for the Gold Coast, lifting the Suns to second on the AFL ladder.

Yet again it was the form of top draft pick Matt Rowell (20 disposals, two goals) which had the footy world talking.

which will impact the commercial viability of community clubs.

“We could not justify or envisage a return to ‘business as usual’ and nor are we prepared to risk the health and wellbeing of people, nor club sustainability.”

The region’s premier competition, the Gippsland League, made their announcement on Saturday.

“Earlier today, the Gippsland League club presidents, along with AFL Gippsland representatives, discussed a 2020 senior football and netball season,” the league said in a statement.

“It was determined and supported by all that the senior season for 2020 would be abandoned.

“Whilst it was disappointing to abandon the 2020 senior season, the sustainability of all clubs has always been the priority.”

But all three competitions are committed to staging junior football and netball.

Mid Gippsland will focus on junior retention and development programs according to Matthews.

“Whilst we cannot proceed with season 2020 we will be ... providing opportunities for our junior football and netball competitions, and preparing for an

exciting 2021 of competition,” Matthews said.

North Gippsland echoed similar sentiments.

“We will turn our attention on the junior aspects of our league and hope to deliver opportunities for our young players, who are the future of our respective football and netball competitions,” the league stated.

The Gippsland League announced that their junior football and netball seasons would start within three weeks.

“The Gippsland League is excited to announce the Under-16s and Under-18s football season and Under-13s, Under15s and Under-17s netball season will commence on Saturday, July 18, 2020,” the league said in a statement.

“The nine week home and away season will be played for premiership points followed by a four week finals series that will conclude with a grand final on the weekend of October 10.”

The abandonment of senior action sees the Gippsland, Mid Gippsland and North Gippsland competitions join the likes of the Goulburn Valley, Murray, Ovens and Murray, Northern and Eastern leagues to scrap their 2020 seasons.
