Councils’ tip clash

By YASEMIN TALAT BRIMBANK City Council has objected to the application before the City of Melton for the expansion of the Boral Landfill.

At an ordinary council meeting last Tuesday night, administrators declared that the Brimbank City Council would lodge an objection for the expansion because of the potential impact to local residents.

Chair of Administrators John Watson said the existing odour problems from the landfill site must be resolved before any expansion was considered.

“Our residents have a basic right to clean air, and as a good neighbour Boral’s number one business priority must be addressing the odour problem caused by the site before planning

future expansion,” Mr Watson said.

“Although we are not the responsible planning authority for this application, we have received a number of complaints from our residents regarding amenity issues associated with the landfill which we take very seriously,” he said.

In November last year, Boral lodged a planning amendment with Melton City Council to dramatically increase the size of the existing tip to 179 million cubic metres or the equivalent of 105 times the size of the MCG. The Boral Landfill site is about 1.5 kilometres from residential buildings in Brimbank.

Residents from both municipalities have initiated action against the proposal through a number of means including

the “Stop The Tip” group, which will hold a community rally in Melton today.

“We can’t simply refuse the application because it isn’t in Brimbank, however we can certainly object and make it known that Brimbank City Council cannot support any expansion until these problems are resolved,” Mr Watson said.

Administrators agreed that the facility was important for the area, but that it had to be managed properly.

“There is no question that the Boral Landfill plays an important role in managing waste for the West, and we see our role as helping to influence the best outcomes for the operation of the site and our nearby community,” Mr Watson said.

“Essentially, council is seeking to find the best balance between the needs

of the greater west for waste management with those of nearby residents to the landfill site,” he said.

As part of the objection, Brimbank City Council will also seek an increased buffer zone (up to 1000 metres) and that the expansion be reduced in size to enable future expansions to be approved in stages.

Melton City Council’s general manager Planning and Development Luke Shannon said the council had received 3800 objections to date, and council officers were in the process of assessing the application.

“Council officers will then prepare a complete report, which will be considered by council at an open council meeting,” Mr Shannon said.

“No date has yet been set.”

New heart of community

By YASEMIN TALAT THE detailed designs of Brimbank’s new Community and Civic Centre have been completed paving the way for construction to start on the $52 million project later this year.

The new building, which will be home to the new Sunshine Library, council chambers and a number of tenants, is on track for completion by mid-2016 with construction planned to commence in September this year.

Chair of Administrators John Watson said the completed designs were of exceptional quality and would result in a first-class community and civic centre.

“The work undertaken during the detailed design phase confirms that this will be one of the outstanding buildings in Melbourne’s growing West,” Mr Watson said.

“The striking design, which draws on the sawtooth industrial heritage of the site, will open up onto Hampshire Rd and the surrounding precinct, creating a great environment for learning and community collaboration,” he said.

The Sunshine Library will be the centrepiece of the new building, set over the first two floors, with reading rooms dedicated for different user groups and will also include an

indoor and outdoor children’s play area.

The heritage harvester machine will also move into the new building.

Mr Watson said the council hoped to suspend the harvester from the roof of the foyer area so that it would be visible from all sides and both floors.

A new customer service centre and a local history interpretive centre will also be on the ground floor, and the second floor will also have a learning centre and community rooms, the council chambers and exhibition space.

Mr Watson said the new buidling

was important for the efficiency of the council, which has staff spread over a number of offices, and would have long-term economic benefits by cutting considerable costs associated with rent and maintenance of the current old buildings, among other things.

“Now that the detailed design has been finalised, the next phase of the project includes preparing the tender documentation and calling for expressions of interest from suitable contractors.”

Sunshine Library and Customer Service centre will be temporarily relocated during the works.

Be alert to alarm change-over with clocks

By XAVIER SMERDON

Emily Martignago is reminding residents to change their smoke Picture: JOE MASTROIANNI alarm batteries. 117039

WESTERN Suburbs residents are being urged to change the batteries in their smoke alarms when they change their clocks for daylight savings this Sunday.

As the clocks go back an hour on Sunday, Emily Martignago from the Werribee Fire Brigade said it was important for people to remember that their smoke alarms were an even more important aspect of everyday life.

“If you do have a smoke alarm it gives you an advantage in case there ever is a fire, but only if it’s working,” Ms Martignago said.

“People are pretty much unable to smell smoke when they are asleep so the chances of waking up without a smoke alarm are much lower.”

Ms Martignago, who has been a volunteer firefighter for two years, recently received her qualifications that will allow her to enter burning buildings.

She balances her duties as a volunteer firefighter with her university studies and the 21-year-old said she enjoyed giving back to the community.

“Basically between everything else I do I found I had a bit of spare time so I decided I should volunteer,” she said.

“I love the sense of family and community that it gives me and the sense of belonging. No matter how old you are or what your background is, everyone is just equal.”

Daylight savings will end on Sunday 6 April with clocks going back one hour.

The Royal Children’s Hospital house to be auctioned on Good Friday is now open for inspection.

Bid for kids

By ESTHER LAUAKI THIS year’s Children’s Hospital House is open for inspections in the lead-up to Good Friday when the house will be auctioned in a live telecast.

A joint initiative between home builder Henley and developer Villawood Properties, the Children’s Hospital House is one of the most anticipated events on The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal’s busy calendar.

Hundreds of well-wishers and supporters and eager bidders are expected to flock to this year’s auction located at Villawood’s ‘Aspire’ community in Plumpton where one lucky buyer will purchase the keys to the stunning 50 square home from Henley’s prestigious Clendonvale range.

The property at 83 Aspire Blvd, Plumpton, goes under the hammer on Good Friday 18 April, at 2pm.

TWO people have been arrested in Tullamarine following their trip to watch illegal street racing in Tullamarine last week.

Illegal street races were high on the radar of officers from the Fawkner Highway Patrol who scanned the industrial estates of Tullamarine Wednesday night.

A 22-year-old Brookfield man and a 23-yearold Melton woman were fined in excess of $500.

Officers intercepted the Holden Sedan, which passed the patrolling units with a revving engine last Wednesday night.

The driver told officers they had come to the area to watch illegal races.

A two-year-old passenger and a female passenger were also found sitting in the back of the vehicle wearing no seat belt.

Both the driver and passenger were issued fines for seatbelt offences.

Senior Constable Dan Carbonneau from Fawkner Highway Patrol was shocked by the incident.

“Illegal drag or street racing is an incredibly dangerous and risky activity” he said.

“I am at a loss as to why anyone would attend and put their own life at risk let alone that of a child,” he said.

“We will continue to patrol known hot spots in marked and unmarked cars and discourage anyone from attending these risky illegal events.”

Jobs plan fail: MP

By CHARLENE MACAULAY MELTON MP Don Nardella has slammed the Napthine Government for failing to produce a jobs plan despite a marked increase in unemployment across the North West.

The ALP’s Mr Nardella said the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics Labour Force figures show the unemployment rate in the North West region has jumped from 6.5 per cent - or 10,200 people - under Labor in 2010 to 9.1 per cent - 16,000 people - in February 2014 under the Napthine government. The North West region encompasses the municipalities of Brimbank, Melton, Moonee Valley,

Macedon, Hume and Moreland.

“The new Australian Bureau of Statistics figures were shocking for Melton families and those looking for work,” Mr Nardella said.

“Denis Napthine still hasn’t released a jobs plan, but Labor’s Project 10,000 will invest $2 billion on Melbourne and Regional roads and create 10,000 new jobs across Victoria.

“Labor’s Plan for Jobs and Growth will see more investment in job-creating projects for communities throughout Victoria and in Melton.

“Under Denis Napthine, Melton is losing jobs, businesses are closing

their doors and workers are worried about their future.”

Western Metropolitan Region MP Andrew Elsbury hit back last week, saying the government was working hard to create jobs in the region.

“There was a note on those statistics to say that the standard deviation is pretty high considering how small the region is,” the Liberal’s Mr Elsbury said.

“We’ve got the East Werribee employment precinct project, which we’re putting our full support behind and will generate 54,000 permanent jobs over its lifespan.

“We’ve also got the Airport West

and Essendon Fields employment precinct that was announced by Minister (Matthew) Guy last week, so that’s an extra 15,000 jobs in the northern part of the electorate.

“We also have our commitment to the East West Link, which will generate 2000 jobs in the construction industry.

“Of course, we’ve had the hit from Toyota making its announcement ... but we’re working with industry at the moment to try and retool and re-organise themselves for the future.

“We don’t need a document called a jobs plan, we’re just getting on with the job of creating jobs.”

Zsaneta’s fashion takes off for charity

By YASEMIN TALAT TAYLORS HILL resident and fashion designer Zsaneta is using her fashion flair to support charities and community groups.

Zsaneta, from Zsaneta Couture, will display her newest fashion collection at an upcoming charity event at Watergardens later this year.

The Zsana Collection will hit the fashion runway at the charity event to support the Olive Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre at the Watergardens Hotel on Wednesday 23 June.

Zsaneta has already been busy preparing for the event and said she was excited to launch the collection alongside a good cause.

“I think it’s a good idea to do these shows and raise money for different foundations,” Zsaneta said.

“I know that it helps people and it helps the organisations, it’s all for a good cause,” she said.

Zsaneta also spends her time working closely with the Macedonian community in Brimbank and has supported various Macedonian churches and groups with fundraisers and events.

“I like to make people happy and mix with people and I realised that these organisations do need some sort of assistance and that’s what I do,” she said.

Zsaneta, who specialises in bridal couture, said she loved working closely with people and meeting her clients’ needs.

The fashionista runs her business from Taylors Hill and has also launched in Adelaide.

She is also now working towards having her gowns and designs available in stores across the nation.

Hunt for danger

By YASEMIN TALAT POLICE have flooded freeways across Melbourne as part of an ongoing operation to reduce dangerous driving in the lead-up to Easter.

Operation Horizon kicked off last week with police scanning roads during peak hour times to ensure safety for all commuters.

Roads to be targeted include the Western Ring Rd, Calder Freeway, Princes Freeway, Tullamarine Freeway, Hume Freeway, EastLink, Monash Freeway, Eastern Freeway and the Geelong Ring Rd. “During Operation Horizon, people can expect to see a strong police presence on our roads,” said Acting Superintendent David Griffin.

Acting Superintendent Griffin said the heavy volumes of traffic on major arterial roads, combined with impatience, sometimes led to drivers taking unnecessary and unacceptable risks.

“During the peak hour rush, people are often in a hurry, creating unnecessary stress and a sense of panic that causes errors in judgement,” he said.

“We’ve had an horrendous start to the year and the last thing we need is more tragedy on our roads, particularly leading into the Easter and Anzac Day periods, which are critical periods for the community in terms of road trauma risk,” he said.

Acting Superintendent Griffin said peak hours were high risk periods when many crashes occurred and he warned motorists to keep patient on the roads.

“People who have not planned their journey properly, or who are running late for work, can become impatient and are more inclined to take shortcuts or engage in risky behaviour to try to make it to their destination on time,” he said.

“Tailgating and using technology while driving are also common offences we see during these times,” he said.

“We are asking people to take a deep breath, slow down and ensure they arrive at their destination safely.

“Running late for work or being in a hurry to get home is no excuse for doing the wrong thing.”

At the time of publication the road toll was 65, higher than the road toll from this time last year, which was 59.

Operation Horizon will run until 11 April.

Win for commuters

WYNDHAM and Melton residents are guaranteed to benefit from the upcoming State Election with both Labor and the Coalition pledging to abolish Zone 2 public transport, a move that it is claimed will save commuters up to $750 a year.

Premier Denis Napthine announced last week that if he won the November election he would remove Zone 2 and also offer free public transport within the Melbourne CBD. “For a full-fare commuter who currently buys a Zone 1 + 2 daily fare there will be a saving in the order of approximately $5 a day,” Dr Napthine said.

“A commuter who pays for a Zone 1 + 2 ticket each day will save around $1,200 each year, or, if using an annual myki pass, will save more than $750.”

Shadow Treasurer and Member for Tarneit, Tim Pallas, said that Labor would match the plan being offered by the Coalition if they were elected.

“No matter who you vote for in November, Melburnians will get cheaper public transport but only Labor will deliver better public transport,” Mr Pallas said.

Karen Hart will head to Denver, Colorado with her $40,000 scholarship in June to study the success of North America’s growing number of multi-tenant non-profit centres. 116936 PICTURE: JOE MASTROIANNI

Hart of research VICTORIA University PhD candidate and community development manager Karen Hart will embark on a four-month journey to the United States as part of a research project.

Ms Hart, who is conducting her PhD research through Victoria University’s College of Law and Justice, is the general manager of Youth Junction, the organisation that established the Visy Cares Hub in Sunshine.

Her research will examine ways community programs delivered through co-located services can prevent incarceration for young adults.

Ms Hart will draw on her

years of experiences working for non-profit groups in Australia and the UK, to study the success of North America’s growing number of multi-tenant non-profit centres, similar to the one she manages in Sunshine.

Ms Hart said the co-located facilities provided maximum benefits to communities, especially youth, with clients being able to access a range of services within the same time and space.

She hoped to build connections while abroad, where she will examine about 100 centres across the US and Canada, and to make a case for building similar centres in Australia.

“Having the opportunity to evaluate and analyse the nature of co-located models, how they were initiated, how they operate and how they are sustained in the US can tell us much about how we can strategically plan to develop them within an Australian context,” she said.

“I am hoping to come back with a really robust case that these sort of co-located not for profit centres make sense economically in terms of meeting clients need effectively and efficiently,” she said.

Ms Hart has been awarded a Fullbright Scholarship of $40,000 to conduct her research overseas.

Jets downed by late burst

By ADEM SARICAOGLU A SEVEN-GOAL burst was the difference between the Western Jets and the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup on Sunday.

The Jets kept up with Sandringham for three-and-a-half quarters at Craigieburn’s Highgate Reserve, but the Dragons managed to kick clear late in the piece to come away with a solid 46-point win.

A low-scoring first half had Sandringham in front by a kick at the main break and as the game broke open in the third stanza, it was the Dragons who managed to convert on the scoreboard.

By three-quarter time the margin was out to 22 but the Jets clawed their way back to peg it down to single figures in the final term.

However, the Dragons’ seven goals to the Jets’ three sealed the result, handing the latter its second loss in as many games.

Jets coach Torin Baker said he was pleased to see his side improve its attack on the footy after going down to the Cannons in round one - but will be hoping his forward line can make more of its opportunities count in coming weeks.

Brenton Payne and Jayden Laverde each combined for four of the Jets’ eight goals on the day (two goals each).

Billy Myers, Hayden Bray, Liam Duggan and Brandon Coletta each kicked a goal of their own.

Draft prospects Corey Ellis, Dillon Viojo and Connor Menadue were among the Jets’ best on the day, while defender Harley Armstrong-Weston also drew praise from his coach for a solid display down back.

The Jets will have a chance to rectify their 0-2 start this Sunday away to the Oakleigh Chargers before hosting the Northern Territory at Williamstown’s Burbank’s Oval in round four.

The Jets sit 12th on the table and join the Gippsland Power, Bendigo Pioneers, North Ballarat Rebels and Eastern Ranges as the TAC Cup’s remaining winless clubs.

Dillon Viojo was one of the Western Jets’ better players on Sunday. 105187 Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI

Sport Rams set to ramp it up

By ADEM SARICAOGLU IF Robbie Lynch’s game plan clicks with his players this season, the Riddell District Football League better watch out.

That’s the warning coming from Rockbank’s new coach ahead of this weekend’s season opener against Melton Centrals.

“If we get it right it’s going to be pretty spectacular because nobody would be thinking about us,” Lynch told Star.

“I think the whole competition is going to take a step up this year so if you’re not going to improve this year you’re going to be left behind, and that goes for the top teams right through to the bottom teams.”

After a long summer that included a coaching change and a promising bag of new recruits, Lynch said his boys can’t wait to put their lofty ambitions to the test, beginning this Saturday against their local rival.

“We’re looking very good,” Lynch said.

“We’re dying for the bounce of the ball, to be honest. You can only train so much and practice games are exactly that, so it’s good to get into the real thing.

“We’ve picked up about 20 new players - so we’re definitely in a better position than we were last year and I think the opposition will definitely be underestimating us, which is fine by us.

“They’re going to get a bit of a shock when they play Rockbank this year.”

Lynch made it clear the end goal isn’t necessarily silverware, but he does hope for a significant improvement on the 6-10 record the Rams produced in 2013.

First and foremost, though, Lynch says it’s imperative to produce consistent four-quarter efforts more often.

“This year it’s about consistency and playing better for longer periods, so not playing patches in quarters,” Lynch said.

“It’s about sustaining it. Skill level is something we’ve really improved on from last year but that’s got to go up a notch as well.

“We play really well against the top sides but with the sides around us and below us, there just seems to be these lapses.

“So we want to eradicate them and put ourselves in the best possible position to win as many games as we can.”

Lynch will assess during the year just how his Rams stack up against the rest of the RDFL, but did ensure finals are in his sights.

“I’m quietly confident that Rockbank will play finals in 2014,” he said.

“In every game that Rockbank plays, the teams are going to know that it will be a really good, tough contest.”

MELTON Centrals coach Brian Wheelahan doesn’t expect to go into this weekend’s season opener against Rockbank with a fullstrength side.

However, that won’t stop Wheelahan’s men from pushing to get back into the Riddell District Football League finals action in five months’ time.

Wheelahan isn’t yet sure if his Blues’ long pre-season and new recruits will deliver better results on the field and on the table, but is hoping his side will gain some respect along the way this season.

“I guess you won’t get a good gauge on the sides to beat just yet, but we’re under no illusions that we’re still trying to find our mark within the competition as well as being respected on a week-to-week basis,” Wheelahan said.

“But our aim is to be competitive every week and not allow any blowouts and from what we’ve done thus far, I think we’ll be more than competitive.

On the

Pace LEN BAKER

Impressive way to win ROCKBANK-BASED trainer Joe Vassallo brought up victory number two with much improved Union Guy/Alberts Belle five-year-old gelding Impressive Guy at Warragul last Monday, taking out the letsgotrotting.com Pace for C1 class over 1785 metres. Trailing the leader and favourite Three Gold Bars after starting inside the second row, Impressive Guy used the sprint lane to score in a rate of 2-00.6 over Three Gold Bars and Inclinator, which followed the pair.

PARWAN trainer Geoff Walker combined with Jodi Quinlan to capture the Catch It To Kilmore Two-Year-Old Trotters Handicap over 1660 metres at Kilmore on Thursday with Muscle Hill/Adellas Dash filly Glenferrie Burn. Making her third race appearance Glenferrie Burn, raced by Peter Chambers’ Glenferrie Farms Pty Ltd, was safely away from barrier four, settling four back along the markers, before moving to be one/one in the final circuit following her stable-mate Glenferrie Belle. Easing three wide on the final bend, Glenferrie Burn ran home stylishly to gain the day by 3.2 metres in a slick rate of 2-07.2 for the babies over Mister Oz, which did everything right to lead, with Glenferrie Belle third.

MELTON’S Alison Chisholm snared the www. facebook.com/kilmoreracing Claiming Pace over 2180 metres with Kiwi-bred six-year-old Falcon Seelster/Mustang Sally gelding Jaccka Murphy.

Trapped outside the pole-line pacemaker Jaccka Tom from gate three in the early stages, Jaccka Murphy was driven with aggression to take over and once in front relaxed beautifully after spending plenty of petrol. Kicking clear on straightening, Jaccka Murphy defeated Summer Ace which raced outside him from the bell, giving the Melton district the quinella, with Jaccka Tom holding down third. The mile rate 2-00.8.

Centrals seek respect

By ADEM SARICAOGLU

Tuesday, 1 April, 2014 Page 23

“It’s been a long journey. We started back in November and the numbers have been fantastic and we’ve managed to recruit about five that will play in round one.

“We’re just sweating on a few injury concerns through our practice matches but hopefully we’ll have a healthy list and we’re looking forward to Rockbank.”

Centrals got found out in the clinches during their 2013 campaign - which yielded eight wins for a seventh-place finish.

For Wheelahan, 2014 will be all about making sure the basics are taken care of first.

“The big emphasis has been on our stoppage work around the ground,” he explained.

“We’re going to go back to basics and play one-on-one footy.

“We like to think we’re hard at it around the contests and that was probably the difference last year, and sometimes against our team rules we did our own thing. But I guess we just want to compete and hopefully win more 50/50s.”

LONG Forest duo Andy and Kate Gath brought up victory number eleven with honest four-year-old It Is I/Shot Of Sugar entire Quadentate in the Kilmore Timber Hardware Mitre 10 Pace for C5 and C7 class over 2180 metres in a rate of 1-57.8. Starting from the extreme draw, Quadentate settled four back in the running line, with Salem leading from gate four. Commencing a forward move three wide solo at the bell, Quadentate gradually made ground on the leaders before finishing his race off well to score from Nimble Jack along the sprint lane after trailing the front runner. Artoc (three back the markers - four wide home turn) finished third.

AT Melton on Friday, Mt Cottrell owner/trainer George Batsakis put an end to many Early Quaddie takers, when five-year-old Union Guy/Hartsathumpin mare Our Fabiola scored an upset victory in the $10,275 Empire Stallions Vicbred Platinum Country Series L Final for C0 class over 1720 metres. Driven by Ararat-based Mick Bellman, Our Fabiola starting from inside the second row spent most of the race four back the markers and when extricated into the clear on straightening, drove between runners to gain the day in a rate of 1-58.9 over Linora Dawn which trailed the hot favourite and leader Lively Lily, with Bucksaroo out wide close up in third place. Lively Lily looked the likely winner on turning, but ran all over the place like a drunken sailor to finish fourth.
