CAREER MOVE WAS A PERFECT FIT PAUL Sloothaak has switched careers from shopfitter to pastry chef.

He opened Village Way Cafe in Pakenham in July last year with wife Christina, who has worked in the hospitality industry for the past 15 years.

They were thrilled to receive the inaugural People’s Choice Award at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

“We really love you and appreciate what you’ve done for us, Jose,” Christina told head chef Jose Li. She also thanked her loyal customers.

“This could not have been possible without your nomination and votes,” she said.

Christina’s family back in Indonesia all own restaurants or cafes.

“I’ve always been interested in cooking,” Paul said.

“We were looking for a cafe for a while – probably three or four years, actually. Nothing really came up until we saw this one here. We could see the potential here.

“When we first got here, I changed all the lights, because they had the big fluorescent lights. I changed the front counter. We put a kitchen in the back.”

Paul concedes it took him a while to adjust to the fast-paced world of food service, but he now takes every aspect

“I try to keep it seasonal,” he said.

Consistency is also a focus for the chef, who has worked in the industry for 12 years.

The Sloothaaks have added a second chef and a barista to their team and call in casuals when they need a hand.

“From when we started to now, we’ve probably jumped 60 per cent in income,” he said.

“This area is building up.”

But he also credits Christina for the growth. She learns customers’ regular orders, welcomes them with a smile and makes them feel at home.

“Chris is a very good people person.”

“I do everything – do the dishes, serve the food, help the chef...” he said.

“And all the desserts there, I make them. We don’t buy any cakes in.”

About 95 per cent of their sauces are home-made, too, by Jose.

“We poached him when we bought the cafe,” Paul said.

“Our hollandaise sauce is made every single day. Once people come here, have breakfast on a weekend... all our customers that come in on a weekend are all regular customers.”

Jose designed the menu and changes things up every few months.

Mr Jones said FAUN was the industry’s largest European manufacturer and was a global leader at the forefront of innovation.

“The FAUN range is designed for fleet managers and councils Australia-wide,” he said.

MANUFACTURING

IT’S BEEN a big few months at Hallam’s Wastech – from acquiring another business to opening a service centre and bringing in new trucks from Germany.

Taking home the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Award, as well as this year’s Manufacturing Award, can now join the list.

Neil Bone accepted the honour. He and brother Paul started the business in 1993, having largely worked on trucks involved in the waste business during their time as diesel motor mechanics.

“Thank you to Paul for putting up with me for 23 years,” Neil said.

“It’s the people that stand with you every day – that’s what makes a difference.”

They continue to play a key role in Wastech, which designs, manufactures and provides equipment and services to the Australian waste and recycling industry.

The Bone brothers set up in Ordish Road, Dandenong, before moving to Redgum Drive, Capitol Drive and, in 2007, Wedgewood Road in Hallam.

The company recently added a $3 million purpose-built service centre in Technology Circuit, Hallam, to service more than 5000 equipment items throughout Australia.

Wastech marketing co-ordinator Catherine Gardner-Gaskin said it catered for 24-7 assistance so no site was ever left unattended.

In September the company acquired Tieman Field Service and Tieman Tail Lifts, increasing its workforce from 90 to 150-plus employees with 60 mobile service vehicles nationally servicing the waste, recycling, tail lift and materials handling industries.

“A key pillar in the Wastech strategic plan was to establish a wholly-owned nationwide service network to provide a complete aftersales product service offering to its customers,” CEO Brett Jones said.

“When Tieman Industries went into voluntary administration in August, this presented Wastech with the ideal opportunity.”

He said Wastech Field Service retained the Tieman Service staff, technicians, national fleet and tail lift sales team.

“Both brands are synonymous with quality, outstanding products and customer service – the natural synergies between the businesses are clearly evident,” Mr Jones said.

In October Wastech bought new FAUN vehicles from Germany – a Variopress Rear Loader and a Viajet 6 Street Sweeper.

Ms Gardner-Gaskin said the trucks were unique.

HOME BASED BUSINESS Sponsor

Winner Kelly Sports Berwick Finalists Helping Hand Is Here Jotterbug Creative

Darren Michelle. 145217

FIT ENOUGH TO GET TO THE TOP DARREN Michelle started Kelly Sports Berwick in 2010.

“My wife Sam and I had our first child and I was working at a bank,” he said.

“I was going to work and my son was asleep and I was coming home and he was asleep.

“I felt like I was missing out on everything. I just stumbled across Kelly sports. I’ve always loved sport and kids.”

Mr Michelle has won this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Award in the Home Based Business category.

“JD was probably the speech of the night so I won’t try to beat that,” he said when accepting the honour.

He’s added Pakenham and Seaford franchises to Berwick, extending his reach across Narre Warren, Cranbourne and Dandenong.

“My wife does all the admin side of it. Then I have around 15 coaches doing various things,” he said.

Mr Michelle provides sports-based programs during school lunchtimes and

Darren and kids having fun. 145217

holidays, after school, at childcare centre and kindergartens, at birthday parties and for three to five-year-olds.

“Our main program is a multisport program that includes four or five sports over a school term,” he said.

“It introduces them to the basic skills and introduces them to different sports.

“Then when they get to the right age they can join a club.”

It’s about helping them to develop a love for sport and find the perfect one for them.

“We get used in a lot of different ways. Some come for the social side and some kids just love sports,” he said.

“It’s just different for everyone, really.

It’s pretty rewarding.

“When you get kids that have never played sport before and you see them develop the skills and confidence that goes along with it, and see them make friends, it’s pretty rewarding.”

Mr Michelle enjoys bumping into former participants and hearing about their sporting exploits.

“There’s others who don’t come back because they’ve joined a club,” he said.

“That’s the goal.”

Kelly Sports Berwick and Pakenham won the Franchise Business Category at the 2013 Cardinia Shire Business Awards.

WE KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WE TRAIN WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE A LIFE...

HEALTH EDUCATION AND WELL BEING Sponsor

Winner Hero HQ Finalists Emerald Medical Centre Kinders Together Association

Hero HQ staff Lindsey, Tess, Bronwyn, Nikki, Chloe, Rachael, Melissa, Allanah and Aimee. 145383

HEROES PUT THE FUN INTO FIRST AID FIRST aid training company Hero HQ was born out of necessity.

The idea to start the business came to Nikki Jurcutz while she was working as a paramedic for Ambulance Victoria in 2010.

After arriving at countless scenes to find that people were unprepared to act effectively, Nikki put the idea to her sister, Rachael, and Hero HQ was born.

Armed with Nikki’s experience in paramedicine and Rachael’s background in education, the sisters became the youngest women in Australia to own a registered training organisation.

The business has enjoyed immense success and is the winner of this year’s Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the

category of Health and Education.

The sisters “rocked off” to decide who would deliver their speech, so unprepared were they for the honour.

“It was just Nik and I last year. Now we have 30 girls Australia-wide,” rock, paper, scissors winner Rachael said.

“We know that the people we train will be able to save a life.”

Their goal is simple.

“At Hero HQ we provide our clients, both in the home and workplace, with a fresh, generation Y approach to first aid training,” Nikki said.

“We want every single person who walks away from our sessions to feel empowered to act quickly and effectively

in an emergency, and ultimately be able to save lives.”

The business has two divisions. Hero HQ provides corporate first aid training services while Tiny Hearts equips expecting parents and caregivers with paediatric first aid skills.

Hero HQ is the fastest growing first aid training company in Australia and Nikki said it aims to transform the industry.

“Traditionally, first aid courses have left people feeling overwhelmed and bored meaning that people would not take in information and therefore they would not act appropriately in an emergency,” she said.

“Hero HQ’s point of difference is that

courses are always interactive, engaging and dare we say it, fun!

“Our celebrity mannequins George Clooney and Jen Hawkins are always a hit with our clients also.”

Thirty women are currently employed by the company, yet even bigger things are in store for the next year.

Hero HQ plans to expand throughout the country and even venture into international territory.

But Nikki said some things will never change.

“Most importantly, we will continue to empower people in the workplace, community and home with the life skills of first aid.”

We’re here… to help you achieve your business goals Pitcher Partners, a leading Melbourne accounting, audit and advisory irm, has been helping businesses like yours for more than 20 years.

And now, we have an office in the South East Region to provide practical business advice and professional solutions in a location that’s convenient to you.

AWARDS APPLAUD BIRTHDAYS were the night’s hot topic at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

Performer Jean Kittson hosted the gala dinner at Cranbourne Racing Club on Thursday 22 October – the eve of her 60th birthday.

City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland led the crowd in a rendition of Happy Birthday before presenting the main award.

In his opening speech, he asked guests to wish his wife Kay a happy birthday.

Kay said she was turning “somewhere between 15 and fabulous” that day.

“This is the last time you’re going to see me because my wife informed me that she’s going to kill me when I get home,” Cr Morland said when he returned to the stage.

Ms Kittson told the crowd that the owners of last year’s Casey Cardinia Business of the Year, Highview Accounting Services, had welcomed a baby that day.

“Amazing things happen after the awards,” she said.

Ms Kittson said the evening was to “celebrate, recognise, reward and applaud” the region’s businesses.

“Without the sponsors it wouldn’t be possible. Well, it would be possible – but there’d be a lot less to drink,” she said.

Cr Morland said the awards were just one initiative to promote and support the development of small business in Casey and Cardinia.

He said 111 applications were received and judged by an expert panel, and highlighted the diversity of small businesses across the region.

Cr Morland urged businesses to spread the word to others to get involved next year.

WELL GROOMED FOR SUCCESS RETAIL Sponsor

Winner Pawz Ink Finalists Berwick Mazda In Beauty

“I HOPE I can inspire other single mums to achieve their dreams.”

Pawz Ink owner Nicole Timmons was beaming as she accepted the Retail award at this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

“The judges have confirmed what I already knew - that each and every one of my staff go above and beyond every day,” she said.

Ms Timmons’s decision to switch from dental nurse to dog groomer is well and truly paying off.

She opened the pet boutique in Berwick Village two and a half years ago.

“I was raised in the City of Casey.

I wanted to open up where I live,” she said.

“I’ve always grown up with animals – horses and dogs and cats.

“My very first job was at a pet shop.

I used to help wash the dogs.”

Ms Timmons worked as a dental nurse for five years before changing careers.

“I always wanted to do a pet shop but with online sales I knew it wasn’t going to last,” she said.

Grooming couldn’t be bought with a mouse click and sent through the post.

Ms Timmons expanded into Toorak last

November and hopes to open in Warragul within the next year.

“The staff make the business what it is,” she said.

Pawz Ink offers complete grooming and clipping, accessories and pet care products, fresh meat, aromatherapy and massage, and baked and organic dog treats.

“It’s a bit of an Endota Spa for dogs,” Ms Timmons said.

The Berwick salon welcomes about 100 customers each week.

“I’ve been overwhelmed and surprised by everyone’s loyalty,” she said.

“There’s about seven staff so we keep nice and busy. We have lots of laughs together.

We spend more time together than family.”

A Pawz Ink product line including shampoos, cologne and dog treats is next on Ms Timmons’s agenda.

It’ll be available in-store and wholesale.

“Our favourite products got discontinued. We went ‘oh well, if it’s not available we’ll make our own’,” she said.

“I went over to China and spoke with manufacturers. I went to a big trade show to see what they could offer us.

“All of the shampoo ingredients are from Australia.”

PATIENCE PAYS OFF FOR GROWING COUPLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD Sponsor

Winner JD Propagation Finalists Mountain Harvest Foods Ten-Rose International Simmental

JENNY and Dan Patience have grown an empty Pearcedale horse paddock into an award-winning business.

The JD Propagation husband and wife team have cultivated their success thanks to Dan’s obsession with plants, which stems back to his teenage years.

They’ve now taken home this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Award for Agriculture and Food.

“The most important people in this whole thing are the people standing behind us,” Dan said when accepting the award.

“Without these business awards we wouldn’t strive every day to be a little bit better than what we were.

“Everybody gets a little bit of growth.”

Dan turned to his mum: “I wouldn’t be anywhere without her because I wouldn’t be born - thanks mum.”

They saw a big niche market opening for young plants and launched their plug nursery in 2010.

“We basically supply young plants to everyone from wholesale nurseries to farmers to growers – everywhere,” Dan said.

“The plants we sell would be anywhere from four weeks to 10 weeks old.”

JD Propagation has experienced at least 40 per cent growth each year and is set for the same over the next 12 months.

It has 24 staff and will this year produce about 5 million plants across 1200 varieties.

“We love what we do and, at the end of the day, Dan’s probably one of the best growers in the industry,” Jenny said.

“We always send out top-quality plants so word has sort of got around.

“We’re all about building relationships and working with our customers and I think that’s put us ahead of the pack.”

The business can keep growing.

“That whole front block – which is 12 greenhouses – was full in four years,” Jenny said.

“Our next step is to build up the back.

We have about five acres up there.

“This year we can still have 40 per cent growth but then if we want to keep with 40 per cent growth we have to move up the back.”

Dan and Jenny’s hard work earned them a commendation at the Casey Business Awards four years ago, a win in the Agriculture and Primary Industries category the following year and the same title at the merged Casey Cardinia Business Awards last year.

WHEELY MEGA EXPECTATIONS NEW BUSINESS Sponsor

Winner Car MegaMart Finalists Metamorph CG Pawz Ink

PAKENHAM’S Car MegaMart has developed well beyond expectations since opening 19 months ago.

The Commercial Drive automotive retail development is home to both motor vehicle sales and supporting trades such as mechanics and detailers, plus a cafe and finance office.

Karlie Thexton said operations started in January last year.

“The land was available and, obviously, this is a major growth corridor for the south-eastern suburbs,” she said.

“It’s definitely developed beyond our expectations.

“Stage one and two are at 80 per cent complete and the factories are sitting at about 70 per cent complete.”

Ms Thexton said Car MegaMart wanted to lease its last three available yards and would start on stage three development plans next year.

This is to include more automotive yards plus caravan industry space.

“We believe that we are a fantastic new business in the area and are providing a lot of employment opportunities for the community and beyond,” she said.

“Currently we have 18 independent yards here.

“We’re all a team together and without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

Ms Thexton said the Car MegaMart database showed about a third of sales were local.

“We’re excited about the future and we see it as bright,” she said.

The development will feature 18 dedicated motorcycle, caravan and boat sales sites plus mechanics, detailing and paint shops.

LITTLE SHOP’S A BODY BUILDER TRADES AND CONSTRUCTION Sponsor

Winner Cranbourne Bodyworks Finalists K & D Bak Painting and Decorating KD Landscapes

IN 1988, Kevin and Nikki Slattery opened Cranbourne Bodyworks – a small shop on an unsealed road.

It was initially a business that would buy and sell cars but as people kept coming back the little shop grew.

Now, Cranbourne Bodyworks is one of the region’s most trusted mechanics and employs 14 qualified tradespeople.

Its reputation for excellence has seen it named the winner of the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business award in the Trades category.

“I’m very excited about this.

It wasn’t expected, but hoped,” Kevin said, accepting the award.

“You can’t have a great business without great staff.

“Thanks to my wife for putting up with me.”

Office manager Nikki said the business’s strong focus on service has kept customers returning for the past 27 years.

“It’s all about service.

We understand that it’s a real

Kevin and Nikki regularly send their employees to workshops and training sessions to ensure they are kept up to date with the knowledge and

skills required to succeed in such a rapidly evolving industry.

“Cars are always developing so we work hard to ensure that the staff are always up to

date,” Nikki said.

The business is also a certified Peugeot recommended repairer but Nikki said the expertise of staff covers a wide range of vehicles.

“Anything from prestige to the tradie ute,” she said.

“There are certain types of parts that should never be repaired and others have repair procedures that must be upheld.”

Cranbourne Bodyworks is also preparing to roll out an apprenticeship program which will give local students the best possible start in a diverse and prosperous industry.

It’s all part of a peoplefocused approach that has brought the business incredible success and popularity.

“We really owe this to our customers and staff.

“Cranbourne has just boomed and we have got some incredibly loyal customers.”

AMBROSIA CAFE RAISES BAR HOSPITALITY Sponsor

Winner Ambrosia Finalists Cardinia Park Hotel O.MY Restaurant

IN JANUARY of 2004, Danielle Finning and Gaston Robot opened Ambrosia – a unique combination cafe, bar and foodstore in Berwick.

The following 11 years have seen Ambrosia grow into one of the region’s finest eating establishments and the worthy winner of the hospitality category of this year’s CaseyCardinia business awards.

“We didn’t even write a speech because we never thought we were going to win this,” Danielle said, accepting the award.

She congratulated the other category finalists, Cardinia Park Hotel and O.MY Restaurant.

“We were so proud to be up with you guys because you’re just amazing. Your quality of product is amazing,” she said.

Gaston thanked Ambrosia’s staff and customers.

“Without them it’s just four walls,” he said.

Danielle said “the growth in the business has been amazing“.

“It’s been a challenging process, opening a business from scratch, but we’ve had an incredible amount of community support, and I think that’s been a real factor in our success.”

Part of Ambrosia’s popularity among diners local and from across Melbourne is its versatility, in both its service

Danielle Finning and Gaston Robot. 145515 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS and menu. Offering a modern Australian cuisine, guests are drawn to Ambrosia’s focus on share-style eating. Danielle says regular updates to the menu have played a key role in the development of the business.

It’s a philosophy based on keeping guests excited and satisfied.

“We really try and take pride

in what we deliver. We listen to our guests and what they want,” she said.

“We want to give people something a little bit different, new and exciting.”

Also celebrated for its catering services, Ambrosia brings a level of flexibility rarely seen in industry.

“We can easily look after

groups of 30, 40, 50. We have catering options, we can send a chef to their house and provide wait staff and we don’t ever stipulate a group menu, although that is an option.”

Ambrosia also gives guests the opportunity to add flair to their own kitchens through the quirky products sold in its foodstore.

“It’s all the things I love to eat!” Danielle laughs.

Fabulous food, a modern setting and a relaxed atmosphere have all been keys to success for Danielle and Gaston. It’s all part of their simple, yet effective philosophy.

“Mostly for us, enjoy your moment, enjoy your friends and enjoy yourself.”

PRIZED ECOTOURIST SANCTUARY TOURISM Sponsor

Winner Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park Finalists Pakenham Racing Club Quest Narre Warren

MOONLIT Sanctuary may draw visitors from across the world, but it offers much more than the standard tourist attractions.

The winner of the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the Tourism category runs breeding programs that have helped save critically endangered species.

Director Michael Johnson said conservation was a priority for the sanctuary.

“We look at sustainability in all our operations, which is very important to us, and also the breeding of endangered species,” he said.

“The most important breeding program has been for the orange-bellied parrot, and there’s only about 60 of those left in the wild.”

In conjunction with other conservationists, Moonlit Sanctuary runs a program whereby birds are bred and eventually released into the wild. The initiative has saved the parrot from extinction.

The sanctuary believes ecotourism is crucial to raising awareness on the issues facing native Australian plants and animals.

Their lantern-lit evening tours have proven especially popular with guests.

“All Australian mammals are night animals – that’s something that people don’t realise,” Michael said.

“Even kangaroos and wallabies are more active at night and more inclined to be friendly at night. You’ll see things like gliders which don’t come out during the day and you can hand feed some of the animals.

“It’s a really intimate experience.”

The popular tours are only one of a vast array of experiences offered by the park.

Excursions and incursions educate students on the Australian ecosystem and day tours, animal encounters and talks provide guests with the chance to get up close with their favourite Australian wildlife.

Michael says there are plans to grow Moonlit Sanctuary in both its conservation and tourism programs.

“We’ll continue to ensure visitors are well catered for and we’re able to give them the best experience possible,” he said.

“The sanctuary has a very important role to play.”

DENTAL LEAVES ITS ECO MARK ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Sponsor Casey Cardinia Region

Winner Beaconsfield Dental Finalists K & D Bak Painting and Decorating Ten-Rose International Simmental

SUSTAINABILITY is a priority at Beaconsfield Dental – and it’s paid off.

Robert and Lisa Panjkov’s dental practice has been named the winner of the 2015 CaseyCardinia Business Award in the Environmental Sustainability category.

After only 18 months in operation, the owners of the practice have taken several measures to preserve the environment.

Over 60 solar panels line the roof of the practice, linked to a device displaying the electricity generated as well as the CO2 and money saved.

Located in one of the treatment rooms, patients are regularly shown the device and educated on the benefits of solar power.

The design of the building also includes low allergy pain, double glazing, LED lighting and insulation in the walls, ceilings and floors.

Robert and Lisa Panjkov. 145065

Practice manager Lisa said sustainability had been a focus from the very beginning.

“Beaconsfield Dental provides all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry and is committed to both the

community and the environment,” she said.

“We aim to stand out by providing exceptional modern facilities, technological advances, all persons access, environmental sustainability,

with patient care our main priority.”

They’ve also kept sustainability at the forefront in the development of the business.

“Future development, when permitted, will allow us to increase the number of solar panels as the roof has been designed to accommodate many more panels,” Lisa said.

“The building is on stumps to allow space for future battery backup to give us independence from the grid.”

Water tanks with a 10,000 litre capacity also service the toilets and drip sprinkler system onto the garden, which includes over 500 indigenous plants.

Biodegradable patient bibs and cups as well as environmentally friendly kitchen and cleaning products and a largely paperless office are all simple steps that make a real difference – Beaconsfield Dental even has a compost bin.

Their focus on environmental sustainability, as well as exceptional service and care, truly sets them apart from the competition.

“Beaconsfield Dental is very proud of our commitment to the environment,” Lisa said.

WAVERLEY EMPOWERS VULNERABLE WAVERLEY Industries is more than a reputable business – it’s an organisation empowering individuals.

So much so that the Hallam not-for-profit has taken out the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the Social Enterprise category.

The judges said the organisation was an integral part of the region.

Director and CEO Frank Cresia said Waverley Industries opened a new factory in Hallam last week.

“We’ve created a lot of new jobs,” he said.

“Our success is our people.

That’s our essence and our growth, is people with disabilities.

“We’re in Hallam. Our next step is being in Cardinia. It won’t be far away.”

Across its Hallam and Notting Hill locations, Waverley Industries employs about 300 adults with special needs, specialising in packaging solutions, assembly work, manufacturing, mail outs and

mainstream schools to create pathways to the workplace.”

Working with Waverley Industries in 2001, Frank has seen it develop into a thriving business. Assisted by a team of hardworking volunteers, he says the business provides its customers with more than just high-quality products and services at competitive prices.

“We’ve gone from an organisation on its knees to a thriving, sustainable, business model,” he said.

“Customers see that they’re providing job opportunities for people that wouldn’t otherwise be working.”

He added that it was a great honour for employees, staff and volunteers to be recognised in the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Awards.

“This is the third time we’ve been nominated, and we won in 2013,” he said.

“It’s recognition that we’re doing something that is helping the most vulnerable people in our community and their families.”

Waverley Industries’ Frank Cresia accepts the Social Enterpise Award.

Waverley Industries makes it a priority to reach out to special needs schools to provide employment opportunities.

“Our training program involves special schools and

producing things that we, as a community, need,” he said.

“They still receive their disability support pension, so working with us provides a supplement to that.”

“Their work enriches their lives and builds their selfesteem, knowing that they are

ALL POWERED UP FOR GROWTH RAY Keefe started Successful Endeavours as a home office business in 1997.

“By 2005 I realised I didn’t know how to make this thing grow,” he said.

Mr Keefe went looking for a business mentor and tracked down the right one in 2008.

He rebranded the business, repositioned it in the market and moved out of home into commercial premises.

“Four months after that we won Casey Business of the Year,” he said.

This year he took home the Casey Cardinia Business Award for Business and Professional Services.

“It’s the people behind you that make things possible,” Mr Keefe said.

“It’s one thing to have a vision. It’s another thing to get people behind you to make that happen.”

Successful Endeavours was also nationally recognised this year for its ability to innovate.

Three of its projects vied for four categories at the PACE Zenith awards in Sydney on 11 June.

The small business was a finalist at Manufacturing Monthly magazine’s Endeavour Awards on 28 May. Its ABB CQ930 three-phase power factor correction controller and Internet of Things (IoT) Monitoring Platform were up for the Australian Industrial Product of the Year.

Mr Keefe said the controller cleaned up power as it was distributed through the network.

“So that you actually burn less gas or burn less coal

or whatever it is you’re generating power from, to get the same amount of power,” Mr Keefe said.

Uses for the IoT Monitoring Platform include remote and apartment water metering.

“It talks to a cloud or a web service so you can get your data from wherever it is in the world back to somewhere central and then do something with it,” Mr Keefe said.

platform vied for the IT Application of the Year.

“This allows us to collect reading, send device updates and change the operating configuration of remotely deployed devices from our office in Berwick,” Mr Keefe said.

“I was really stoked. So much in manufacturing in Australia we’re just focusing on big things.

“To have small appliances like this actually get recognised is really good.”

Congratulations… to all the winners, finalists and nominations for the 2015 Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

As your community newspaper… we are proud of you all!

Keep on being successful in business…

Flame death desperation

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1170560-ACM06-15

ALONE without family, friends or a home, 30-yearold Afghan asylum seeker Khodayar Amini burnt himself alive in a Dandenong park.

Some thought he may have been living in a car during his last weeks of life.

Others think he may not have had a car to live in, but in his last despairing days was hiding in scrub – much like where his blazing remains were found by firefighters in Robert Booth Reserve.

The blackened mulch has become a makeshift shrine, its charred edges lined by artfully-placed flowers.

A memorial service was due to be held at the site on Saturday.

Many in the region’s vast Hazara community did not know of Mr Amini until after he self-immolated on a video call to Western Australian refugee activists on Sunday 18 October.

When Mr Amini arrived in Dandenong two months ago, there were no family or friends for him.

Most of his family had been killed by the Taliban and two of his friends had committed suicide in a West Australian detention centre where he had also been locked up for three years.

It appears Mr Amini had been trying to avoid authorities. NSW police had charged him over an alleged threatening phone call – how serious the call was and to whom is not clear.

Immigration department officials also sought a meeting with him. Mr Amini was on a bridging visa and had told people he was terrified that he would be detained again and forcibly deported.

Man’s $40,000 jewel heist with teen son

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN stands accused of multiple commercial burglaries and shop thefts in the Fountain Gate precinct, including a $40,000 jewellery heist with his 14-year-old son.

Police informant Senior Constable Tara Firth told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that the 40-yearold unemployed man had told police that he stole because “it was the only way” to support his family.

Police told the court it was unclear if the money was to sustain the family or to fund the ice habit of the accused.

It was alleged he and his teenage son wore high-visibility vests and stole the jewellery from a loading dock at Fountain Gate while pretending to be workers about 9am on 21 August.

The son was seen pushing a shopping trolley, which was filled with the loot by the accused.

“It’s not demonstrating the care

and protection that ought to be given to a 14-year-old child,” police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Renee Bloomfield told the court.

“The son and the adult were acting in concert.”

While on bail for that and another burglary charge, the man allegedly committed four burglaries at outlets at or near Fountain Gate in August and September.

His alleged loot included three kegs of beer valued at $900, two wicker chairs worth $800, a $200 kayak and two surfboards worth $200.

The man has been in remand custody since 14 September when police raided the man’s home at an Endeavour Hills boarding house where he, his partner and two children share a room.

Police seized a “long list” of suspected stolen items valued about $10,000, Sen Const Firth told the court.

The month before, police seized

nine Nike sports jackets, leather jackets as well as jars of Nutella allegedly owned by an Endeavour Hills bakery.

The man had allegedly told police he didn’t care about the businesses of the victims.

“They’re insured and they can afford it,” he allegedly told them.

Defence lawyer Effie Lagos told the court the man had been looking after his 14-year-old son as a single dad for much of the child’s life.

“He instructed me that he was disgusted in himself that he committed this with his son.”

She told the court that the accused claimed to have owned several of the seized items, and that some of the burglaries lacked forensic evidence.

The man led a law-abiding life running a spa factory and then a Gold Coast motel prior to a stroke 18 months ago, Ms Lagos told the court.

Ineligible for a disability pen-

sion, the man then fell into depression and started using ice up to three times a week.

Up until May this year, the man had no prior convictions.

Ms Lagos said CREDIT bail could help the man with his ice habit, depression and acquired brain injury.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted the man had not shown “any commitment to any kind of rehabilitation”.

The accused had failed to attend drug-and-alcohol appointments and had re-offended since being placed on a treatment-based community corrections order in May for 23 property offences.

In rejecting bail, Mr Vandersteen dismissed arguments that the man needed to care for his children.

“No child should be subject to any criminal activity.”

The man was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 5 November.

Man’s shock self-immolation on video From page 1

A NARRE Warren teen who pleaded guilty to charges of importing weapons has been released on bail.

Mehran Azami, 19, who had previously been linked with the Anzac Day terror plot, was released from custody almost six months after being charged with importing more than 200 weapons – including AK-47 flick knives and tasers designed to look like iPhones – following pre-dawn raids throughout Casey on 18 April.

According to media reports, Detective Acting Sergeant Adam Folley told the County Court that Azami was at greater risk of radicalisation if he stayed in custody.

Following a tip-off from British police, a 200-strong joint state and federal police counterterrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring as part of Operation Rising in April.

Police alleged Azami was the weapons supplier for two other Casey teenagers charged following the raids – 18-year-olds Harun Causevic and Sevdet Ramadan Besim.

In July a 15-year-old boy from Britain plead guilty to one count of inciting another person to carry out an attack at a service in Australia.

Authorities dropped a second charge of inciting terrorism overseas in relation to beheading a person in Australia.

Police arrested the boy in April after intercepting encrypted conversation allegedly with an 18-year-old man in Australia.

He told Refugees Rights Action Network recently: “My crime was that I was a refugee.

“They tortured me for 37 months and during all these times, they treated me in the most cruel and inhumane way.

“Every human being has the right to live.

“Living shouldn’t (be) a crime anymore.”

John Gulzari, like many Hazara former refugees, has been seeking to find out who Mr Amini was and why he fell to such awful depths.

Up to a few weeks ago, Mr Amini apparently showed no sign of mental health problems.

“His most major fear was that he would be deported to Afghanistan where he lost his family members,” Mr Gulzari said.

“Atrocities are still happening.

It’s unsafe for Hazara there because there is little law and order. He didn’t want to die there.”

Mr Gulzari said Australia’s punitive asylum-seeker policy brought Mr Amini to such despair.

“It’s in the hands of the government. No death is too minor.”

Mr Gulzari said it was worrying what this will do for the state of mind of other shocked Hazaras living in Australia.

PSYCHIC AND WELLBEING EXPO SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1ST 79 MANUKA ROAD, BERWICK 10AM TO 5PM Many are depressed and concerned for their families back home.

Some have spent almost three years on bridging visas, scrimping on less than the dole and banned from work.

During this limbo, they are uncertain if they can remain in Australia or will be sent back to their dangerous homeland.

Recently they have had to hastily re-apply to be accepted as refugees under the government’s new fasttracked assessment process.

They are on edge, bracing for a

decision on their fate within months.

They have no rights to appeal those decisions.

At the same time, funding has been cut for settlement services, including legal support, housing, job services, education and mental health services and counselling, Mr Gulzari said.

“When you get to the point where all the avenues have been exhausted and there is no hope available, it’s a dark future.

“No one to listen to your issues.

Little money for basic food and ne-

cessities. No friends or relatives.

“If you are returned to Afghanistan, you will be killed.

“What are you going to do?”

Mr Gulzari said the community, in lieu of any family members, had organised a service to remember Mr Amini.

“After all, he was a human being.”

JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET.

Smoko with the devil, that’s no furphy THE council storage yard was on a small island of land in McCrae Street.

It was bordered at the rear by Boyd and McClennan lanes and was about where today’s CWA meeting rooms and public toilets are, in the Plaza section of McCrae Street.

The open brick drain and bridge ran across McCrae Street, almost in front of the storage yard.

Dandenong Shire Council stored some of their materials and equipment there. We often explored this yard and climbed over the various pieces of equipment left lying around.

There were horse-drawn graders and rollers, horse-drawn scoops, and large tip drays with wooden-spoked, iron-rimmed wheels.

And of course there were ironwheeled furphies with a road sprinkler bar across the back.

After nicking a couple of dad’s or Uncle Gordon’s hand-rolled cigarettes, Nipper and Guss had wandered down

JACK LOOKS

BACK

JACK JOHNSON

McCrae Street looking for somewhere to smoke them.

Prior to this they had tried smoking rolled up brown paper, but this was a disaster, as Guss burnt his eyebrows and both of them burnt their throats and nearly choked.

This time, they had the real McCoy - good quality Log Cabin, fine cut tobacco, rolled in gum-rice papers.

‘None of that bloody repeater rubbish!’ as Uncle Gordon always told us when he sent us down to buy tobacco and cigarette papers from either Mr Simon’s barber shop opposite the town hall or old Mr Evans’ shop on the Pult-

ney Street corner.

They even had a used Log Cabin tin to carry them in.

They planned to go under the bridge over the open brick drain and smoke their ill-gotten gains, but as they reached the bridge, two senior citizens were leaning against the wooden railings having a yarn.

They walked off into the council yard looking for a spot where they would not be seen from the street and climbed onto the shaft end of the furphy tank, where the lid opening and filler hole was.

Usually the lid opening on the furphy carts was at the back end, but this one was at the front.

These openings normally had a heavy domed cast-iron lid with raised lettering as did the cast-iron ends of the tank, but the council workers, or some needy person, had pinched this one.

Nipper and Gus must have still been fairly small when they lowered them-

selves into the tank, because the opening was not much bigger than a milk bucket.

Once inside they squatted down and lit their cigarettes.

It was not long before a stream of blue-grey smoke was issuing from the tank.

With the amount of smoke they were producing, they must have been puffing like a steam engine pulling a passenger train up Pretty Sally hill.

Just at this moment a bedraggled looking swaggie - with a beard and hair so thick and matted that all you could see of his face was his flaring nostrils and wild eyes - was walking along McCrae Street heading for the stock market, where they usually camped in the roofed-over wooden sheep and calf pens.

Seeing the smoke coming from the furphy tank, his curiosity got the better of him.

He dropped his swag on the grass,

stepped over a fallen rail of the old post-and-rail fence and walked through the yard to the furphy cart.

He peered in at the two startled kids, who yelped with fright.

The swaggie, being a bit startled himself, yelled the Lord’s name, hyphenated by a bloody in the middle and followed by, ‘what the bloody hell’s going on here?’

Then, just as suddenly as he had come, he picked up his swag and headed off.

Nipper and Guss were so shocked they thought the devil himself had just poked his fearsome head into the furphy.

Terrified that he was still waiting for them, they cowered in the tank for about 20 minutes.

Even when they re-joined me where I was sitting on the rail at the side of Old Patto’s paddock, they still did not believe me when I told them that the evil one was just a swaggie.

1000 Marching Girls in Dandenong The Dandenong Girls Matching Association, comprising the famous Heinz teams, will be hosts at a championship competition to be held at Dandenong Show Grounds on December 19.

Depending on the number of teams that will enter for the competition, Dandenong’s population of marching girls could well rise above 1000.

Bearing in mind that the competitors are girls ranging from eight to the late teens, their welfare has to be strictly supervised.

Think outside the box

By CASEY NEILL

Brad Huggett with a more standard-sized cardboard Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS box. 145335

A HALLAM factory has produced the world’s strongest cardboard box.

The Rebul Packaging product has safely transported a twotonne car from Australia to the US. “We’ve been making crates as an alternative to wooden crates for many years now, and we’ve been supplying Holden in Melbourne for close to 10 years,” business owner Brad Huggett said.

“It was them who thought that our crates would be strong enough to actually ship their demo vehicles to the USA. “They’d previously been getting wooden crates but they’d been costing them a fortune.”

Mr Huggett said his cardboard boxes measuring 5200 millimetres by 2000mm by 1800mm saved Holden $2500 per crate and a few thousand on air freight.

“I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years and I’ve never seen any kind of box with anything cardboard related anywhere near that strength,” he said.

“Nothing else comes close.

“Pretty sure it is a world first for the strongest cardboard box, but wouldn’t be far off the biggest, either.”

Mr Huggett said there wasn’t great demand for crates that size.

“But certainly it demonstrates the amount of strength that you can now get out of paper crates,” he said.

“It really opens up the world of packaging.”

A NARRE Warren South man was arrested following a Dandenong burglary in which the the entire house was almost “cleared”.

A long list of items was taken from the residential house on Sunday 4 October, including all furniture, a Nescafe machine, bath soap, toothpaste and ladies knitwear.

In addition, Vaseline lotion, laundry soap and dishwashing liquid were also taken from the house.

On Sunday 16 October, a 41-year-old Narre Warren South man was arrested and bailed in relation to the incident, with another 41-year-old arrested in Dandenong.

Forum over baby deaths

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY Hospital is hosting a community forum on 27 October to allay community fears about reported higher-than-average mortality rates for babies born at the hospital.

According to a state health department report, the hospital’s perinatal mortality ratio for babies born at 22 weeks was 168 in 2008/12, well higher than the statewide benchmark of 100.

For babies at 32 weeks, the ratio was 138, according to the Victorian perinatal services performance indicators 2008/12 report.

The rate was the second-highest in the state, though the under-fire Bacchus

Marsh Hospital was not featured in the report.

Casey Hospital maternity nurse unit manager Colleen White labelled recent media reports about the maternity unit as “disappointing� and “misleading�. “Casey Hospital is an extremely safe place to have a baby.�

Ms White said the hospital had delivered “thousands of healthy babies� over the five-year period. “Unfortunately we had a small number of deaths above what we expected for Casey Hospital specifically. “That is what the figure represents, but it is not an indication that any were avoidable or preventable. “We know from our own recent re-

views that our ratios are now absolutely back to what they are expected to be.�

A spokeswoman for Health Minister Jill Hennessey said the health service had not been identified as “being of concern� after a review of all perinatal deaths across the state over the past seven years.

The department report had used a mortality rates measure which included all perinatal deaths, including extremely premature babies, the spokeswoman said. “It does not assess whether or not a death may have been avoidable,� she said. “It is absolutely vital is that all perinatal deaths are independently and externally reviewed to identify what occurred, and that’s why the Minister for Health has put in place new measures to increase report-

ing and review of perinatal deaths across the state.�

The new measures include requiring all health services to review any perinatal death, and the quick review of cases by a statewide perinatal autopsy service run by the Royal Women’s Hospital.

Regional perinatal mortality committees will also review each death within three months.

The spokeswoman said the Department of Health and Human Services will review all of the state’s perinatal services to identify if any improvements can be made.

The hospital will host a community forum “to help alleviate any concerns� on 27 October, at 6.30pm.

Documentary no show for Crestani

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD ROSALIE Crestani has shared her surprise after footage of the Casey Councillor recently filmed for a documentary about Reclaim Australia was left out of the episode when it aired on national TV last weekend.

The most recent episode of Sunday Night - Channel Seven’s news program - featured a story on the origins of the Reclaim Australia movement, the anti-Islam group which has held rallies across the country.

Cr Crestani, who in July was the MC for a Reclaim rally in Melbourne, said she had been filmed supporting Reclaim and interviewed for half a day during the episode’s production - but her grabs never made it to air.

Cr Crestani is also an active mem-

ber of the Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP) and wanted to stress that the Reclaim movement had political parties “giving strength behind Reclaim’s message�.

Controversial pastor and RUAP leader Danny Nalliah was also filmed for the Sunday Night episode but didn’t make the final cut. “There’s political parties giving strength behind Reclaim’s message what is the government doing about protecting its citizens?� Cr Crestani said.

She said Sunday Night was correct in showing the Reclaim movement to be a “grassroots movements comprising of mums and dads�, but wanted the nation to know it was “so much more than that�.

Rosalie Crestani was the MC at a Reclaim Australia rally in Melbourne in July.

If you’re thinking of funeral insurance, think again.

Funeral insurance can cost you a fortune over the years and there’s no guarantee it will be used for your funeral! Another way to plan ahead is with a Your Memorial Plan. You make the important decisions between cremation, burial and where you’d like to be remembered and your wishes are recorded. You purchase at today’s prices, pay monthly instalments over two years and get on with life. It’s the smarter way to plan ahead and best of all, you have the last word!

THE good rub is being extended to Tamil asylum seekers and refugees at a former massage clinic in Dandenong.

A few months ago, Jesuran Wellness Centre transformed a dilapidated building which was said to be the cheapest commercial building in the CBD. Refugee volunteers have since changed it into a freshly painted, welcoming one-stop shop that provides free lunches, clothes and other essentials, job CV help and training, English language classes, a GP, counselling, a men’s group, a library and games room with a pool table and a carrom board.

Somehow it runs on donations and volunteers five days a week without a cent of government or Jesuran church funding.

The centre’s Pastor Hilda Samuel calls it a “miracle house”.

She said it is a place where those who have escaped from misery in war zones and detention centres are loved.

“We do inner healing that deals with the trauma - the spirit, mind and body. We identify all the emotional pain.

“We are here to make the journey with them and get them right.”

In the kitchen, some mothers gather and talk. It’s quickly apparent why they need help.

One is practically a single mother due to her husband being imprisoned for domestic violence.

She hasn’t seen her greater family for years and wishes to

Hilda Samuel who runs a "miracle house" for Tamil asylum Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS seekers. 145604 bring them to Australia to live, which is impossible while she’s in the tortuous limbo of a bridging visa.

Speaking on Khodayar Amini’s tragic suicide in a Dandenong park recently, Ms Samuel said the Federal Government must treat new arrivals more humanely.

“These people have the same ambitions, the same desires and the same plans for their families as you and me.

“They come with these dreams that are shattered and broken. The laws drive them to this kind of behaviour.”

Ms Samuel said she can empathise with new arrivals’ plight to some extent - their search for jobs, the language barriers and just the fact that many people don’t understand what they’re going through.

Her own business went bust, she owed the bank $500,000

and then she found God - who she said helped her overcome her debt.

Ms Samuel estimates about $25,000 of goods have been donated as a starting point.

She requires much more to extend her ambitious mission finding jobs for asylum seekers, plus the help of pro-bono lawyers, donors and volunteers.

There’s a need for a giant rice cooker, Asian groceries and a television.

“Nothing is impossible and I know God is helping me,” Ms Samuel said.

“You have a vision and you have to believe in your vision.

You can’t believe in anyone else saying you’re wasting your time.”

Jesuran Wellness Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday at 79a Herbert Street, Dandenong.

Shown around

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH AUSTRALIA’S Inner Wheel president Kay Morland calls the City of Casey home and jumped at the chance to show her chief boss and International president of the ladies service group, Charlotte de Vos, around.

One of the largest women’s service voluntary organisations in the world, Inner Wheel boasts 100,000 members in more than 103 countries.

Ms de Vos flew from Belgium to Australia on Wednesday 14 October to attend a conference in Warrnambool.

Ms Morland said it was an honour to have the International president visit and stay with her and her husband, Casey Mayor Mick Morland.

“It’s been fantastic to speak with Charlotte and realise that we are on the same page with our Inner Wheel goals and projects here in Australia and around the world - one of which is to bring in more young members,” Ms Morland said.

Visiting Australia for the first time, Ms de Vos was gifted a silk scarf designed by local artist Tina Whiteley from the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens as well as a City of Casey watch.

Ms de Vos said she loved embracing the Aussie ways and added that everyone had been very friendly.

“I’m amazed the people are all so kind, you walk on the street and everyone says hello and that can be a tradition that you lose,” she said.

A member since 1987, Ms de Vos, who started in Inner Wheel aged 38, said she had always been involved in service clubs.

“It’s an honour to become president, especially from a small country and I am only the second to become president from Belgium - whereas Australia has four already,” she said.

IN BRIEF Shot fired POLICE are searching for answers after a gun shot was fired into a Cranbourne medical centre last week.

The bullet shattered the front window of the Stirling Medical Centre, on Stirling Avenue in Cranbourne North, after it was fired sometime in the early hours of Thursday 15 October. It’s believed the bullet ricocheted off a tree before hitting the window.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Failed robbery

President of Inner Wheel Australia Kay Morland with special guest, Inner Wheel International president Charlotte de Vos and Casey Mayor Mick Morland officially welcoming Charlotte to the City of Casey. 145835 Spruiking the International Inner Wheel message - happier futures, better lives - Ms de Vos said all of the countries involved in Inner Wheel had different causes, but all are striving for better outcomes.

Impressed with the amount of young Casey members involved in the service club, Ms de Vos said Inner Wheel was about friendship, fun, international understanding and social engagement, and encouraged all young women to give it a go and get involved.

POLICE are investigating the attempted robbery of a recently built house in Clyde North last week. It’s believed a thief tried to break into the Elmtree Crescent home, located in a new construction site, sometime between 5.45am and 4.30pm on Wednesday 14 October.

Police found a crack at the back door of the house during their investigation. No-one was home when the incident occurred. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com. au.

Join up for learning

By CASEY NEILL TEACHERS and students are learning from each other and championing inclusiveness.

Monash University in Berwick and Dandenong-based community organisation Wallara have joined forces for the 10-week Keep on Learning (KoL) program.

Teachers in training gain hands-on experience through tutoring adults with intellectual disabilities that Wallara supports gain education.

Dr Sarah Hopkins from Monash’s education faculty is spearheading the program with Drs Penny Round and Pearl Subban.

More than 60 first year Bachelor of Education students have signed up for the voluntary program.

Two work with each Wallara client to improve their reading skills and their numeracy skills with handling money.

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data shows a growing number of students with special needs and a shortage of teachers with special education training.

Dr Hopkins said most Australian students with disabilities attended regular or special classes in mainstream schools.

“It is critical that pre-service teachers destined for mainstream schools are well prepared to support the participation and learning of students across the full range of abilities,” she said.

“Having authentic experiences of working with students with intellectual disabilities is an important part of this process.”

Dr Hopkins said there was potential for the program to grow and encompass a range of universities in areas such as medicine, nursing and health sciences.

Wallara CEO Phil Hayes-Brown said

IN BRIEF Quality award DANDENONG Hospital Emergency Department has been named Australasia’s best.

The College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA) Best Australasian Emergency Department of the Year recognised the department’s transformation after introducing a new care model in late 2013.

Chief executive Shelly Park said the award recognised the Dandenong team’s exemplary efforts to champion the new model, in response to the rapid increase of emergency department presentations.

Abuse inquiry Teachers gain experience working with students with disabilities. the initiative would expand the capacity of the mainstream education sector.

“It’s long been a goal of ours to work with other education leaders to see preservice teachers have more exposure to disability and to build their confidence and capacity regardless of where they end up in their teaching career,” he said.

“Hopefully, programs like this with Monash will inspire more clever ideas which can raise capacity and build greater social inclusion.”

The KoL program has been established with help from an Ian Potter Foundation grant.

Students and teachers learn together.

APPLICATIONS are open for witnesses to appear at a Royal Commission’s inquiry into alleged child sexual abuse at a Catholic church and primary school in Doveton.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse will hold public hearings from 24 November into historical allegations against clergy at Holy Family Parish and Holy Family Primary School.

Written applications close on 5 November.

The young people who will be shaping Melbourne’s real estate future attended the RMIT - Red23 Industry Learning Day recently.

More than 50 RMIT property, construction and project management students were given real life experience in how to create, manage and complete a property development by leading industry experts.

The Industry Learning Day, organized by residential sales and marketing group Red23, was designed to give third and fourth year property students exposure to the complexities of property development in a “live” environment.

The students were presented with many practical example aspects of the types of property development that they are studying in their property, construction and project management degree.

Key development topics were examined in presentations by Russel Tait, Project Planner from the City of Greater Dandenong, Rolland Gorriceta from the Burbank Group and David Lunardi a development manager at Intrapac.

The topics covered all aspects of the delivery of the projects including site acquisition, planning, legal, marketing, construction, operation and risk mitigation.

The three presenters used real live examples across both land and built-form in the Dandenong region following site visits to Burbank’s Metro VillageMosaic apartments in central Dandenong and Intrapac’s Somerfield project in Keysborough.

“Red23 is extremely committed to affording our future leaders an understanding of the

development process and best practice principles,” Red23’s general manager of research and business development Andrew Perkins said.

“This year, Red23 are particularly proud as the Industry Learning Day, for the first time, formed part of the students’ official assessment criteria.

“Red23 are extremely grateful for the support from Burbank, Intrapac, Carlisle Homes and the City of Greater Dandenong,” Mr Perkins said.

The medium density Metro is the type of urban in-fill development that is rapidly emerging as a new housing form in metropolitan Melbourne while Somerfield is a more traditional residential subdivision that incorporates the latest trends in medium density housing.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Leaving the lab

By CASEY NEILL SCIENTISTS are leaving the lab and meeting manufacturers, with innovation in their sights.

A CSIRO and the South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) collaboration is also taking manufacturers off the factory floor and introducing them to researchers.

CSIRO strategic initiatives and collaboration director Ros Hore said the meetings held since March have opened her team’s eyes.

“They didn’t realise there were so many manufacturing businesses basically on our doorstep,” she said.

“We’ve got a whole manufacturing research program. There’s probably close to 200 scientists.”

Ms Hore said they now had a better understanding of how businesses operated, the issues they were facing and their needs.

“Collaboration for an innovation outcome is the ultimate goal, but if we can just start broadening the dialogue...” she said.

“This is not a quick fix.

“This is all about relationships. Relationships take trust and a lot of talking.”

Ms Hore said scientists toured manufacturing facilities and then came up with ideas for improvements.

“We put it back onto the company to then select what they’d like to pursue further,” she said.

“At the moment it’s not costing businesses anything other than their time.

“Industry don’t think about going to CSIRO for solutions.

“And they don’t even realise that not everything requires a research solution, but we can often connect them to a solution.

“We can’t do everything but we have a wealth of information.”

SEMMA executive officers Adrian Boden said: “We can confidently say that despite having visited only seven businesses, the collaboration has already achieved its objectives.”

“Businesses have appreciated getting access to the expertise of leading scientists from the CSIRO and have also found that the process was not as complicated as they imagined.”

Ray Keefe from Berwick’s Successful Endeavours has so far had four meetings with the CSIRO.

“The first was a visit by them to our office to understand our business a little better and to help them work out where the fit might be,” he said.

“From that came a number of groups within the CSIRO expressing an interest in having a more detailed discussion.”

Mr Keefe spoke with groups in the big data and modelling area and in instrument development technologies.

“The big data group have some re-

ally world-class capability,” he said.

“Our potential work with them would be augmenting that with some of our own technology so that can provide a complete solution rather than a component of a solution.”

He’ll meet with a third group later in the year.

“They are interested in low power telemetry, an area we also work in, and could have some useful technology in that space,” he said.

Unique products could shape the future

By CASEY NEILL A DANDENONG South company hopes some unique products will come from a CSIRO partnership.

U-Neek Bending managing director Les Sabo applauded efforts to connect businesses in the south east with scientists.

“Our biggest problem always has been how do we make contact,” he said.

“You might have an idea of some sort and you just don’t know where to go.”

He toured the CSIRO facilities at Monash University in Clayton.

“They showed us all their latest gear,” he said.

“We’ve got some ideas we want to explore with them.

“I really think it’s a really big step forward for us.

“Whether those ideas materialise or not I’m not sure yet, but at least we’ve got some ideas.

“At least we know where to go and talk to someone. We’ll see where it takes us.

“If we can develop something that’s unique to us, hopefully we can export it as well.”

The U-Neek name might not be instantly recognisable but most people regularly encounter its products, from the unique roof that marked Spencer Street Railway Station’s transformation into Southern Cross, to hand rails on buses, trains and trams.

“We do a lot of work for power stations. You don’t see it. It’s all hidden,” Mr Sabo said.

U-Neek has been rolling and bending metals since 1964, and also supplies the defence, transport, mining and architectural industries.

“Our strength’s been that we’ve been able to change over time,” Mr Sabo said.

“What’s the future for us?

“I think it’s to be more service-oriented perhaps - even more than what we are now - and having more of our own products, whatever that might be.”

Business development manager John Lovell said value-adding had helped the business to grow.

“So instead of just bending componentry for other companies we’re manufacturing the whole unit,” he said.

Mr Lovell came on board in 1998.

“I worked for an automated design house where we manufactured concept cars,” he said.

“That was purchased by an American company and shipped offshore.

“I saw an ad, applied for the ad and met Les. “I didn’t know there were companies that bent steel!”

Mr Sabo joined in 1989. He was a young engineer out of work and was offered three jobs on the same day.

“This was the smallest company. It offered me some sort of challenge where I thought I could see that I could make a difference, maybe,” he said.

He said competitors were always biting at their heels.

“I think there’s people that try and copy us or emulate us,” he said.

“That’s probably a compliment.

“You can’t run away from it but you can try and stay ahead of it.

“That’s what we try to do by investing in new machines and getting good people.

“We can’t compete on price so we’ve got to compete on service, delivery, quality, back-up, reliability of supply - sometimes those things are more important than price to some people.”

Mr Sabo said U-Neek could get parts to repair breakdowns within hours.

“You can’t get that from China,” he said.

“We want to remain the leaders in our field and we manage to, I think.”

Mr Lovell added: “And we have a bit of fun doing it.”

Testing times for workplace drugs

By CASEY NEILL ICE use is on the rise in Greater Dandenong workplaces.

Rob Foran’s The Drug Detection Agency (TDDA) franchise has been operating in Dandenong North since January.

He said cannabis was still the number one illicit drug.

“Unfortunately methamphetamine or ice is becoming more prevalent in our testing,” he said.

“It’s on the increase.”

Mr Foran completes drug and alcohol testing for companies with safety-sensitive staff roles, such as warehousing, manufacturing, transport and construction.

“On top of that we do policy development, education and training sessions,” he said.

“Managers need to be across it in more detail.

They need to maybe be aware of signs that staff could be using drugs at work or could be affected and come to work in an unfit state.”

Mr Foran conducts oral testing using swabs “much like mobile police but it searches for a few more drugs”.

“We also do urine testing,” he said.

“Whatever testing we do is conducted in the mobile vans we have.”

TDDA also does hair testing “which gives a

longer detection time”.

“It can go back 12 months in the drug history,” Mr Foran said.

Mr Foran liaises with his client when a worker returns a positive test result.

“By that stage there’ll be a policy set in place,” he said.

“It’s very rare these days you find someone sacked off the back of one positive result.

“We always suggest assistance first.”

He said Greater Dandenong wasn’t really a hot-spot for workplace drug use.

“From the stats that I see, Dandenong isn’t glaringly obviously bad,” he said.

“We can find clusters of problems in a particular workplace.

“You might find a number of people using drugs because there’s a dealer in the workplace.

“That can happen everywhere.

“Workplace is just a reflection of society.”

Mr Foran tests for prescription drugs, too.

“The one that we specifically test for is known as benzodiazepine,” he said.

“They’re prescription-only but we occasionally find people who abuse them like any prescription medication.

“Benzos can be quite dangerous in the workplace - if someone’s drowsy and they’re using

Drug tester Rob Foran. 145915 machinery, there’s a risk around that.”

TDDA can also test for methamphetamine laboratories.

“We can go into a residence that may have been used for methamphetamine production and

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS we can swab walls and other surfaces,” he said.

Landlords or real estate agents usually utilise the service.

“The residual chemicals can be quite a health concern,” he said.

Cabbies are uber angry

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD HOLT MP Anthony Byrne has slammed Uber for undercutting the taxi industry at a special rally in Narre Warren on Sunday 18 October.

Mr Byrne heavily criticised the technically illegal and unregulated ridesharing service at the taxi forum that was attended by more than 300 people and held in conjunction with the Victorian Taxi and Hire Car Families Group at Max Pawsey Reserve near Fountain Gate Shopping Centre.

Drawing on strong rhetoric Mr Byrne said: “Behind every taxi is a family.”

“In contrast to taxi and hire car operators, Uber has not been complying with a number

of state and federal government laws, regulations and taxes,” Mr Byrne said.

“We are all here today to ensure Uber is properly regulated in Australia in the coming months and a fair go is provided to the Australian Taxi Industry that employs over 200,000 taxi drivers nationwide.

“Additionally, if Uber does become properly regulated and the value of taxi licences and plates are reduced then the taxi industry should be appropriately compensated.”

Uber, founded in 2009, is regarded as a ridesharing service which launched in Australia in 2012.

But the company has been broadly criticised for its lack of adequate regulation, insurance,

licensing and training.

Mr Byrne rejected the contention that Uber provided a “ridesharing service” and argued that the company needed to be governed by the same rules as taxis.

“All we want is a fair go for taxis and their families across Australia,” he said.

“Uber is not providing a ridesharing service, they are providing either a taxi service or hire car service and thus need to play by those rules.

“Our community needs to understand that behind every taxi is a family.

“We can’t just stand by and wait as an industry that employs nearly 200,000 people goes to the wall.”

Producer of the multifaith documentary Richard Leigh, from Campfire Film Foundation, and multifaith member Jim Reiher were excited to launch the film this month.

On board for faith video

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Casey Multifaith Network has finally unveiled its special documentary and new website at a launch this month.

The network spent most of this year putting together the 12-minute and two-minute promotional videos, aired on Wednesday 14 October at the Casey Council chambers, and which were largely funded by a $10,000 grant from previous State Government.

The funding also went towards the website and promotional brochures.

More than 100 guests and performers came to the launch, with representatives from the Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and many other faiths attending.

Also present were members of different interfaith networks and organisations based in the City of Casey and around Melbourne.

Casey councilor Damien Rosario, who spoke on behalf of the mayor at the event, said the messages the network brought to the community through education were “pow-

erful messages indeed”.

The guest speakers included Mr Sandy Kouroupidis, the multifaith officer with the Faith Communities Council of Victoria and website designer, and Richard Leigh from the Campfire Film Foundation and producer of the promotional video.

The celebration included dance performances and chanting by the Vaishnav Sangh of Melbourne, while children from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association sang the Australian National Anthem, and multifaith member Andrew Williams also sang original tunes.

The launch followed the network’s annual meeting last month, where Jim Reiher passed on the president’s baton to Stephanie Saunders after two years at the helm.

Mr Reiher, who has now taken over as vice-president of the network, said the group had wanted to make a DVD and a website for a “long time”.

“We just want to have a more technologically accessible way of promoting and advertising what we’re do-

ing,” he said.

“We want to try and seek more membership through showing people the interesting things we do and promoting the philosophy of what we do.

“We want to grow our network.”

Mr Reiher said he was confident the films would help inform new audiences.

“We feel they’ll do the job exactly as we hoped,” he said.

“There are snippets of interviews with a variety of people, then footage of our bus tours where we have visited different religious institutions.

“It’s about the network and its history ... we talk about some of the initial resistance at the start and how people came to realise it was really good.”

Check out the Casey Multifaith Network’s new website at www.caseymultifaith.org. au.

Information about upcoming events can be found at the network’s website, www. caseymultifaith.org.au, or their Facebook page, www. facebook.com/caseymultifaith.

Capiron’s top gong

By DAVID NAGEL DANDENONG Stingrays defender Daniel Capiron has bounced back from a disappointing 2014 season to take out this year’s club best and fairest award.

The 19-year-old, who emerged as an exciting talent in 2013, made slow progression last year but has reignited his AFL draft prospects with a solid and consistent season.

The 189-centimetre 83-kilogram strong-marking half-back won the award despite playing just 12 games for the season. He played seven senior games for Frankston in the VFL. He won the award from fellow defender and former Beaconsfield premiership player Brandon White, with talented midfielder Bailey Rice back in third place.

Stingrays’ coach Craig Black believes Capiron has all the tools to make it at the elite level of the game.

“He’s in contention to get drafted, there’s no doubt, and he certainly has the attributes to make it in the AFL,” Black said.

“His ability to bounce back from last year shows he’s mentally strong and he polled in just about every game with us this year. He really consistent and reads the ball well and went at 74 per cent with his kicking this year ... that’s outstanding.”

Black, who will coach the Stingrays in 2016, said the AFL National Draft, to be held in Adelaide on Tuesday 24 November, was an exciting time for the club.

“Normally if you get two or three drafted, you’re happy, but we have the

Daniel Capiron capped a consistent season by winning the Dandenong Stingrays best and fairest award. 142263 Picture: JARROD POTTER prospect this year of between five and eight being picked up such is the quality we have on the list,” he said.

“But there are no guarantees, just like every other year some exciting players will miss out.”

Black starts his 2016 campaign this weekend with a camp at Frankston University.

Little warrior kicks her way to the tippy-top

By RUSSELL BENNETT WHEN Berwick Karate young gun Amy Purves kneels down next to her latest trophy, it’s almost as big as she is.

She’s only eight years old but if she continues to improve her kata and kumite techniques at her current rate, she’ll be a black belt before she knows it.

Her family moved from Scotland to Australia seven years ago in search of a better way of life, and for more opportunities for Amy and her little brother Kian.

Kian (5) idolises his big sister and is always trying to copy her when she’s practising her kata - a series of positioning and movement exercises used in Eastern martial arts.

Amy has been involved in karate for about two years and the difference it’s made - particularly when it comes to her self-confidence - has been huge.

She’s the next young protege under Berwick karate head instructor sensei Nerida Field - a fourth dan.

Amy constantly shows her determination at training and classes each week.

She explained why she took up karate in the first place, with no one in her family involved in the sport.

“I thought it would be a good idea to learn some self-defence,” she said, adding that she loves the kata.

Of course, she does kumite as well - and she’ll have to continue both for her grading.

Ralph Martin from Berwick Karate was glowing in his praise of the young Berwick Fields Primary School star.

“She’s got a huge future in front of her and doors will open for her into state and national tournaments.”

As well as being great for fitness, karate is also ideal for discipline, focus - and as Amy knows - confidence.

Her goal now is to keep practising relentlessly until, one day, she gets that black belt.

Berwick Karate is in Enterprise Avenue, Berwick.

For more information, visit www.berwickkarate. com.au.

Female footy fun makes its mark AFL Victoria, the Victorian Women’s Football League (VWFL) and AFL South East have released plans to establish a regional division of the VWFL for 2016.

This progression comes on the back of extraordinary growth of the game at all levels of the female sector of the sport, and is a key part of the strategy to establish national, state, premier and localised female competitions.

Eight teams are targeted for the inaugural year of the regional competition; with these being a collection of newly formed teams and others from the lower grades of established clubs.

The competition would remain under the management and control of the VWFL in the first year, transferring to a local administrative structure in 2017 under the AFL South East Commission.

Discussions are continuing with a number of clubs regarding the creation of new teams; however the VWFL and AFL South East are extremely confident that the goal of an eightteam competition will be realised in the first year.

AFL South East region general manager Jeremy Bourke said this move was an exciting development for the region and a reflection of the level of interest female football had created in the region.

“To think that in 2013, we had one Youth Girls team on the Mornington Peninsula and now we have over 20 Youth and Junior Girls teams is just extraordinary,” Bourke said.

“Combine that with the growth of female football in the South East Juniors and our region has had the most significant increase in participation in female football in Australia over the past two years. The creation of a regional senior women’s competition is the natural progression and we are extremely excited to be the first area in Victoria for this to occur”.

AFL Victoria’s female football manager Darren Flanigan was excited at the prospect of working with AFL South East on the project.

“The unprecedented growth of female football allows the VWFL to join forces with AFL South East and create the first ever regional women’s competition in Victoria,” Flanigan said.

“The VWFL and AFL Victoria see region competitions as a vital step for all female footballers to gain access to open age competitions without the need to travel to metropolitan Melbourne to participate in their sport of choice.”

Further details around team composition will be released shortly. Any club interested in fielding teams in the new competition are asked to contact AFL Victoria on 8341 6000.

Pies’ black future

By DAVID NAGEL IT MAY be looking forward with an intense and steely glare but Narre Warren has gone back to the future with the appointment of former Fremantle and St Kilda star Heath Black as its coach for 2016.

Not since 2006, when Black’s former StKilda team-mate Austinn Jones took over from Paul Hamilton at Kalora Park, have the Magpies invested their faith in such a high-profile leader.

The Jones experiment worked wonders, the Magpies winning three consecutive flags from 2006 to 2008 in his only three years at the helm.

The 36-year-old Black, who shared 192 games between the Dockers and Saints from 1997 to 2008, takes over the top job from Chris Toner, who won back-toback flags in 2012-13 during his five-year reign at the club.

Black understands expectations are high at Fox Road.

“What I do know about Narre Warren is that it judges itself on premierships, so the pressure is going to be on to perform,” said Black, who finished second to Peter Bell in Fremantle’s 2001 best and fairest award.

The 2005 Australian International Rules representative said the Magpies put forward a case that was hard to refuse, forcing him to change his mind on the direction of both his life and his coaching career.

Black coached at his old stomping ground at Mazenod College last year and it was all supposed to end there.

“It was out of the blue, there’s no doubt about that, because finishing up with Mazenod in the Amateurs last year was going to close the chapter on my coaching career,” he said.

“But the way Narre Warren handled themselves, their professionalism, and their honesty in particular, was a real clincher for me to come and have an interview. It happened quickly and it’s already changed my life over the last two weeks.”

Black said his decision to leave Mazenod should not be mistaken for a lack of passion for the game.

“I was coaching at Mazenod and also coaching junior footy which took me away from my family,” the father of three said.

“But taking on this role, I’ve taken away that junior aspect which releases me for two days, and we’ve decided to shuffle things around a bit at home to suit. I’m looking forward to the competition, it’s a strong comp, I was surprised how strong it is, Narre Warren president Tim Allan welcomes the club’s new and I’m looking forward to the coach, former AFL star Heath Black, to Kalora Park. 145802 Picture: DAVID NAGEL challenge of making a great club even greater.”

Otters encouraged to meet in multi-class OASIS Otters Swimming Club played host to almost 100 participants at its recent Twilight Encouragement Meet at Dandenong Oasis.

Swimmers from 10 metropolitan clubs, ranging in age groups from under eights through to open age multi-class events, competed in events over all four disciplines of the sport over 50 and 100 metres.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly was present to open the ceremony and present a number of winning medals to the children.

The Otters would also like to congratulate Emily Kuok, Nam Le, Trung Le, Brendan Ronnholm, Rachel Schaddee Van Dooren, Brady Thomassen, Kohen Umezu, Raena Umezu, Hoang Vu, and Soomin Yun who took part in the Metro South 7-10 eliminations on Sunday 18 October.

All the best to those who made it through to the Victorian 7-10 State finals on Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November.

Members of the Oasis Otters swimming team enjoyed a night of tough competition.

Outstanding year for race carnival THE world’s greatest racing carnival has passed half way and it is again proving an outstanding year.

The BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival was a top class opening chapter for the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival which culminates in the 59th running of the Group 2 $301,000 William Hill Sandown Guineas (1600 metres) on Saturday 14 November at William Hill Park, Sandown.

The International Quarantine Centre at Werribee has been overflowing with the large number of international performers who are seeking a share of the riches on offer, especially for the 155th Emirates Melbourne Cup and prize money for that race of $6 million plus $200,000 in trophies.

The internationals have already shown their quality and some are here for other races than the ‘majors’.

Owners and trainers realise that the prize money in Australia is on a par with the best in the world and exceeds what is mostly available in Europe.

It is expensive to make the trip but it can be rewarding.

At the weekend, Moonee Valley took its turn with the running of the Cox Plate and this week the attention turns to Flemington.

Racing purists have always declared this Saturday as the finest day of racing on the Australasian calendar and one of the major international days, although it is now being challenged by BECK Caulfield Guineas Day. Saturday’s program features four Group 1s, two Group 2s and three at Group 3 level and is a perfect opening to the most important racing and social week of the year.

It is a week that will attract thousands of visitors from around Australia and internationally and inject a considerable amount into the local economy.

Feature of the day is the 161st running of the Group 1 $1,510,000 AAMI Victoria Derby (2500 metres).

The Caulfield Classic (2000 metres) (formerly the Norman Robinson Stakes) on Caulfield Cup Day has always been a good guide to the Vic-

toria Derby.

This year’s winner was Sacred Eye, the only filly in the race and her target will be the Crown Oaks.

Lizard Island, trained at Cranbourne by Pat Hyland, was always up on the pace and ran home well for second after an impressive second in the Caulfield Guineas.

He looks an enormous chance.

Etymology and Get The Picture ran excellent races.

Tarzino ran home well for seventh in the Caulfield Guineas.

Vanborough has good Sydney form having won his last three including the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000 metres) at Randwick.

Last Wednesday Extra Choice from the Lindsay Park stable had his first run in blinkers and impressively won the Geelong Classic (2200 metres).

The race has been a strong Derby guide.

“He was always travelling well and there is nothing else I would want to be on,” jockey Ben Melham said.

Saturday also features the Group 1 weight-for-age $1,002,500 Longines Mackinnon Stakes (2000 metres), which will see many having their final start before the Melbourne Cup. The Group 3 $301,500 Lexus Stakes (2500 metres) will also see horses making their last bid for a Melbourne Cup start as the winner is exempt from the ballot.

The Group 1 $502,500 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200 metres) will feature some start sprinters and the Group 1 $502,500 Myer Classic (1600 metres) will attract top fillies and mares.

The day will attract a massive crowd to Flemington that, with the next three days, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday week, will be sure to draw a total of about 350,000 patrons.

THE A1 is the thinking person’s mini - premium brand, competitive pricing but a restrained, forward-looking design rather than the fun, frolicking three-door BMW Mini.

Last year Audi’s smallest car got an extra pair of doors after launching as a three-door and while A1s kept selling, the three-door did not, so the five-door Sportback is on its own.

The A1 1.0-litre threecylinder starts at a mere (for Audi, anyway) $26,900, which means a bare-bones spec with a five-speed manual transmission.

Step up to the sevenspeed dual-clutch, as the vast majority of buyers do, and you’re up for a still-reasonable (for Audi) $28,250.

This means 15-inch alloys, an eight-speaker stereo with Bluetooth and annoying proprietary cable connection for your phone (hidden in the glovebox for your phone-forgetting convenience), air-con, remote central locking, rear parking sensors, cruise control, paddles for the gearbox, leather steering wheel, cloth

Titchy car, titchy engine. interior, power mirrors and windows, auto wipers and tyre pressure sensors.

Our car also had the Technik Package which adds two speakers and satnav for $2490 and premium paint with a contrasting roof ($1690) bringing the total to $32,430.

The A1 is basically a shrunken A3 to look at, which is no bad thing.

If anything, it looks slightly better without the elongated hatch style of the A3.

The contrasting roof paint is money well-spent because it gives the car a classy look without being shouty, with just the madcap S1 stretching the friendship.

The standard alloy wheels seem a little lost in the pumped arches, but look fine all the same.

The daytime running lights let other road users know you’re there and look terrific at night - Audi really does lighting very well - and in the daylight the chunky design sits well on the road.

Inside is a mix of new and old Audi - the circular vents that are becoming a feature across the Audi range look great - and are really nice to operate, if that makes sense.

Everything falls easily to hand, there’s a ton of adjustment in the seats and steering wheel and for the front passengers at least, it’s very comfortable with a good view out.

Rear passengers might feel shortchanged for legroom but there’s good head-

room and adequate kneeroom for a six-footer and decent shoulder room if you don’t have a third passenger along for the ride.

There’s a little less storage for bits and bobs than you might like, but for its size, the A1 does well, with door pockets, front drinkholders with a phone spot and a small tray under the dash.

The A1’s five ANCAP stars come courtesy of six airbags, ABS, brake assist, traction and stability controls.

As in the Audi Q3, the A1 persists with a folding screen perched in the top of the dash.

It does the job alright, but it’s very small and the sat-nav graphics a tad bitty.

The 10-speaker audio in the test car was very good and Bluetooth phone performance was also top-notch.

The whole system is run by Audi’s MMI, with a dash-mounted rotary dial and a bunch of shortcut buttons for major functions.

Under the bonnet is a three-cylinder turbo petrol displacing 999 cc.

2015 UPDATE MODEL!

HURRY LIMITED STOCK REMAINING!

7 SEAT SENSATION!

By DEREK OGDEN IT’S been a long time, but well worth the wait.

When the Hyundai Veloster first came out, with its out-there looks and unusual architecture, it shaped up to be a challenger to the hot-hatch mob.

Unfortunately, somebody had forgotten about giving it the performance to match. The Veloster was held back by a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. Fortunately, we forgave shortcomings, much talk being of the sedan-cum-coupe styling, with two doors on the passenger side, only one on the driver’s side.

The result was the dismissal of the inconvenience of squeezing in and out of the back seats through a single entrance as in a conventional coupe.

It wasn’t until later when a turbocharger was hung off the motor that things began to heat up.

I have had to wait until now and the Series II to taste the added grunt with a stint with a range-topping Veloster SR + Turbo, which comes to market at $36,490, plus on-road costs.

The Veloster Series II has taken on more of Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture styling with a distinctive grey grille surround and 18-inch alloy wheels in a choice of two new styles, both shod with sporty 225/40 R18 tyres.

However, the popularity of the Veloster seems to have dampened some of the car’s curiosity quotient.

It was, in fact, the new unique Blue Sprinter matt paint finish of the test vehicle that ‘stole the show’.

Taking up from the exterior, the test car cabin had blue highlights scattered all around, including the word ‘turbo’ on the sides of the front seat backs.

Contrasting stitching can be found on the steering wheel and coloured seatbelts are about to be installed with the newest models.

Also new is an electroluminescent sports-style instrument cluster, while driver and front passenger are treated to power adjustable heated and ventilated seats.

The whole thing is topped off with a panoramic glass sunroof.

Up-to-date connectivity comes courtesy of a 7.0-inch LCD touchscreen displaying satellite navigation, CD player, MP3 input and three years HERE MapCare.

Veloster Series II is powered

by Hyundai’s direct-injection 1.6-litre Gamma engine, in naturally aspirated or turbocharged form.

Power and torque figures for both engine types are unchanged. Turbo + power and torque are 150kW at 6000rpm and 265Nm between 1750 and 4500rpm.

Exclusive to the SR Turbo range is a smooth shifting seven-speed double clutch transmission with steering wheelmounted paddle shifts.

The all-new seven-speed DCT offers fast changes and improved fuel economy, measured on the official test at 7.1 litres / 100 km, down from 7.6.

Six airbags - driver and front passenger, driver and front passenger side (thorax), full-length

curtains - offer passive protection for occupants, while Electronic Stability Control including, Traction Control, Anti-lock Braking, Electronic Brake force Distribution, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Management aim to keep the car out of trouble in the first place.

Hill-start Assist Control, somewhat pointlessly offered with auto only, helps with setting off on steep inclines.

A rear-view camera lets you keep track of obstacles when reversing.

After a slowish turbo takeup, the engine chimes in with a rorty note when urged with continued pedal pressure but the Veloster is short on the outand-out exuberance of a true hot-hatch, even when using the paddle shifts.

Fuel consumption of the test vehicle was clocked at six litres per 100 kilometres in highway cruising but turned out a thirsty customer with up to 13 litres per 100 guzzled in the suburbs.

The Veloster SR + skipped along nicely, the wheels anchored firmly to the bitumen, even on the broken surfaces of some poorly maintained roads, thanks, no doubt, in no small part to the Aussie input of the suspension and steering tuning.

Veloster Series II has dumped the previous Veloster’s 16-bit Motor Driven Power Steering in favour of latest-tech 32-bit system.

The SR Turbo + also adopts Hyundai’s driver-adjustable three-mode Flex Steer system.

While not calling up the word ‘tepid’, the Veloster SR + fails to match performance with many of the so-called hot hatches of today. What it does have is looks to carry it off. And there’s the sub-30K turbo tag.

Premium quality at a budget

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY NEW model releases are proving a welcome diversion for Volkswagen Australia as the automotive giant counts the cost of the emissions scandal that continues to make headlines around the world.

A couple of weeks ago, as the news of ‘Dieselgate’ broke, we attended the launch of the new Golf Alltrack.

That’s been followed now by the release of the eighth generation (B8) version of the Passat mid-sized sedan and wagon.

While understandably tight-lipped at the Golf event, VW Australia’s out-

going managing director, John White, was much more open when he addressed the motoring media prior to the Passat launch.

Following the apology he announced the temporary suspension of sales of Volkswagen and Skoda models powered by the EA189 diesel engines including the outgoing Passat B7.

Volkswagen is traditionally a carmaker that ranks substance ahead of style and the new Passat is no different.

There’s nothing ostentatious about the car but nor is there anything likely to offend.

With so many designs going for the large open grille it’s quite refreshing to see Volkswagen buck the trend with a narrow full-width three-bar grille.

The biggest change goes to the core of the new Passat and its use of the Volkswagen MQB platform.

The structure allows for a range of vehicles to be built at the same factory and so reduce costs, a significant contributor to price cuts of up to $4000 on the new Passat.

The interior is spacious with reasonable headroom even where fitted with the optional sunroof and a surprising amount of rear seat legroom.

Eighth generation Volkswagen Passat is stylish yet conservative.
