■ Ethnic crime data slammed as racial profiling...
Race to cut crime Now they can see they’re in a hot spot Captain Andrew Swain and other members of the Devon Meadows CFA Leeann Lees, Jake Pringle, Rachel Ahchow, Shaun Adams, Peter Van de Laarschot, Phil Brentnall, Jasmine Mace and Carly Damman are celebrating this week. Their brigade has received $11,500 in funding from the State Government to purchase a thermal imaging camera. The Devon Meadows crew applied for the grant money through the Government’s Emergency Services Volunteer Sustainability Grants before Christmas and found out in February that it had been successful. “This is the first TIC the brigade has ever had so that’s over our 70-year history,” Captain Andrew Swain said. “Obviously, this piece of equipment in this day and age is very important as we are getting more built up in the suburbs from Cranbourne.” The camera will be used by the brigade to detect fire hot spots that are not detectable by the human eye so firefighters can concentrate their efforts on making sure the fire is properly extinguished. 165301

The City of Casey Council will use data on the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of alleged criminals in the Casey area for a submission to a parliamentary committee in a move some have called racial profiling. The plan was raised by Casey mayor Sam Aziz and seconded by Councillor Rosalie Crestani at a council meeting on Tuesday 21 February with only Cr Steve Beardon dissenting to the idea. The data will be used as the basis of a written submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Migration and will focus on the cultural background of alleged criminals in Casey. Cr Aziz said the submission would include details of social programs council runs to help multicultural youth in the community as well as the cultural demographics of alleged criminals. “It will also include any community safety statistics that are given to council by police, which would demonstrate the demographics of criminal activity in the municipality, including crimes perpetrated by CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) communities.” However, AMES Australia which provides settlement support programs to people in the southeast has said singling out particular ethnic groups would not help fight crime. “It can have a negative effect on social cohesion within our communities and it can victimise and isolate particular groups of people,” an AMES spokesperson said. “If there is an issue with disengaged youth, perhaps we should be
looking at the reasons behind that and trying to find ways to provide opportunity and meaningful engagement for young people.” “Simply blaming particular groups of people is not a solution.” Cr Aziz said he wasn’t worried about his motion and subsequent submission causing offence to anyone and thought it was wrong to deny it if one section of the community were the cause of criminal activity. “I still support a deportation rule for dual citizens for kicking Australia in the face by coming here and committing these crimes,” he said. “I am sorry for many residents who were subjected to home invasions and suffered insecurity in their own homes and this is an opportunity for us as the largest city in Victoria to shake up the agenda and contribute to Federal Parliament.” Cr Steve Beardon said he was concerned with the flow-on effects of such a submission. “Focusing on the demographics of criminal activity has me concerned along the lines of cultural profiling which I see as a major concern in my community,” he said. “That may not be the intent of this motion but I cannot support it.” La Trobe MP Jason Wood is chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Migration and said there needed to be a comprehensive investigation into who was committing crimes in the region. “Everyone knows this is happening and we need facts and figures to support it - we can’t manage if can’t measure it,” he said.

Man smashes way out of petrol station A 30-year-old Cranbourne man has been arrested after allegedly smashing his way out of a locked petrol station with a hammer. The man was charged with two counts of armed robbery and two counts of burglary, after his arrest on Friday 24 February. He first came to the attention of police after he allegedly robbed a petrol station at 181 High Street, Cranbourne on Saturday 4 February where he hid a weapon inside his jumper. The same man has then allegedly stolen over $2000 worth of male aftershaves from perfume kiosks inside the Cranbourne Shopping Centre on Sunday 5 February. His downfall came on Friday 24 February when he returned to the same petrol station in Cranbourne, armed with a hammer, allegedly with the intention of robbing it a second time. The same attendant who was working the first time the petrol station was robbed this time called security and locked the man inside the store while waiting for police to arrive. Police said the robber managed to smash his way out of the petrol station using the hammer, but a concerned citizen followed him home to an address in Cranbourne. Police were able to locate the man thanks to the citizen and the man was remanded in custody shortly afterwards. He will appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 21 March.
The 17 new suburbs proposed by the Victorian Government. Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Race to cut crime
Our new suburbs By Victoria Stone-Meadows The City of Casey will be home to two new suburbs, following a State Government announcement of 17 new suburbs across the Greater Melbourne area. The new suburbs of McPherson and Minta Farm in Casey’s south-east reaches would cover a combined area of 1238 hectares of land and house an additional 35,800 people. The precinct structure plan (PSP) for McPherson is currently in the submission review phase, while consultations continue between
The Victorian Planning Authority (MPA) and Casey City Council. McPherson would be bordered by Cardinia Creek to the north and east, Ballarto Road to the south, Smiths Lane and the future Bells Road to the west, and Muddy Gates Lane, and McCormacks road to the east. The Minta Farm PSP is currently at the stage of council and state agency consultation before it is presented to the public for submissions and input. Minta Farm is proposed to be bordered by Soldiers Road in the west, the Princes Freeway to the
north, Cardinia Creek to the east and Grices Road to the south. Both of the new suburban hubs would be a mix of residential and business construction, with over 11,000 jobs to be created in the region. The State Government announced the time it takes for planning approval for the new suburbs will be faster under their Streamlining for Growth program. The program would allow the plans for Minta Farm and McPherson to be fast-tracked by streamlining the subdivision approvals processes.
The program also provides strategic planning support for councils to clear backlogs that help unlock strategic development sites. As part of the plan to establish new suburbs and tackle the housing affordability bubble, the State Government would commence a pilot program to deliver 100 new social housing dwellings on government land. Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas said the new suburbs would create more jobs and a better future for the growing Victorian population.
Builder goes bust, with 90 jobs lost Commercial and residential building company Watersun Homes went into voluntary administration on Tuesday 28 February citing a lack of funding. Neil Mclean and Mathew Gollant of insolvency firm Rodgers Reidy Melbourne have been appointed as joint administrators of Watersun Homes. Watersun Homes had display
homes in Cranbourne and Pakenham with many active projects in Melbourne’s south-east. The administrators are seeking expressions of interest from parties for the sale of all or some of the business assets including active projects. Ninety full-time jobs will be lost as a result of the administration process and staff from across the com-
pany were informed on Tuesday. Property owners who have done businesses with Watersun can expect to be contacted by the administrators in the coming weeks and are advised to check their building insurance details. Owners should be aware that there is domestic building insurance in place with the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) where

From front page Mr Wood said the data supplied by Casey Council and sourced from Victoria Police would give the committee a better understanding of who crime was being committed by. “Victoria Police needs to give us the actual data and that may come through other agencies to determine how big the problem is,” he said. “For example, you have a person on a visa who commits crimes who gets apprehended by police and it is not automatic that the Immigration Department gets notified and so there is no intervention or warning.” “Normally by the time the person is in custody it’s not too late and can have their visa cancelled, we need the information to figure out the extent of migrants that are committing offences.” Statistics currently being used by the joint standing committee come from the Victorian Crime Statistics Agency and show that most crime is committed by people who are born in Australia. They accounted for 138,763 criminal offences from October 2015 to September 2016. The second highest offending group were people born in New Zealand who accounted for 4044 offences and third highest was Sudan with 2675 offences. Mr Wood also said the committee would be making recommendations about needed community services based on the ethnicity of unsettled migrant groups. “The majority of people having issues are those who have come to Australia and have a lack of English and education leading to a lack of employment,” he said. “It means if one community group is committing crimes because they can’t get jobs, there is discrimination against that group in particular.”

Wearing teal to appeal By Victoria Stone-Meadows Chemmart at Shopping on Clyde has hosted an Afternoon Tea(l) for local residents to raise money for research into ovarian cancer on Friday 24 February. Participants at the tea were encouraged to wear teal as an awareness-raising exercise as well as purchase raffle tickets and donate money to Ovarian Cancer Australia. Roughly 1400 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Australia every year and about 1000 of those women will lose their battle with the disease.
Ovarian cancer can sometimes go undiagnosed for a long time as the symptoms are similar to that of a heavy period or urinary tract infection. The Afternoon Tea(l) at Shopping on Clyde was organised by Caroyln Wynen of Chemmart who wanted to not only raise money for research into the illness, but raise awareness in the community about it. To find out more about Ovarian Cancer or how to donate to Ovarian Cancer Australia, visit www.ovariancancer.net.au.

MP for Cranbourne Jude Perera will be renewing calls for funding from the State Government to establish a new SES unit in Cranbourne. Picture: CONTRIBUTED The majority of the Casey region is currently serviced by the Narre Warren SES, which has been in operation for 10 years. Unit Controller for Narre Warren SES Clinton Brown said another unit in the Casey region would greatly improve their capacity to serve and help the growing population of the region. “It’s really about trying to service the ever growing southern corridor, specifically the Warneet, Clyde, Pearcedale, and surrounding areas,” he said. “In our current capacity, it takes us about 30 or 40 minutes even with red and blue flashing lights on the main roads to get a job in the southern parts of Casey.”
Mr Brown also said it would mean a greater pool of volunteers to draw from to increase the numbers of SES members in the region. “The other big thing is it opens up opportunities for volunteers from that area,” he said. “For someone in Clyde or Warneet, it takes 30 minutes to get to the unit station in Narre Warren so it is not feasible for them to get to a job.” City of Casey Mayor Councillor Sam Aziz said a new SES unit in the Casey region would greatly improve the safety of residents. “Our emergency service personnel do an amazing job protecting lives and property in our great city,” he said.
GRAND ART
“But it’s clear our growing population will put unsustainable pressures on our community’s safety if the number of first responders don’t keep pace.” “A Cranbourne SES unit would reduce the burden on Narre Warren and provide essential community protection in times of emergency.” Mr Perera will be setting up a petition to gather more support from local residents and through his Facebook page that residents are encouraged to sign and support. “If they are planning to start a petition we are happy to support it,” Mr Brown said. “We urge people to get behind it and there for people to register their interest.”
1176287-CG11-15
Plans for an SES unit to be based in Cranbourne have moved a step closer, with Casey Council deciding on a site for the unit and MP Jude Perera lobbying the State Government for funding. Casey Council has selected a site in Cyril Beechey Lane, Cranbourne - the old Council Transfer Station site behind the racecourse - as the location for the new unit. Mr Perera will present the case for funding for a new SES unit to State Parliament as soon as possible. In his address to parliament, Mr Perera will mention the vast area of Casey that is currently covered by Narre Warren SES that would be better served by a unit based in Cranbourne. “The nearest SES unit is located in Narre Warren,” Mr Perera’s speech reads. “I have had reports that there had been several jobs in the southern part of Casey which took teams more than 40 minutes to attend.” “The SES is desperately in need of a second depot in the southern part of Casey, to serve the rapidly expanding electorate of Cranbourne and its surrounds.” Councillor Steve Beardon, who has been working with Mr Perera to establish a new SES unit in Casey, said there was no shortage of people who would volunteer to be a member of a Cranbourne SES unit. “There are many people in Cranbourne who are keen to be part of everything in Cranbourne,” he said. “I don’t think we will have any problems filling the unit with volunteers; we have lots of young people who are happy to support our community.”

Baby boy Taj with his mum Lori at St John of God Hospital, Berwick. 165365
At a Casey Council meeting last Tuesday 21 February, the 309,000 residents of Casey watched as they lost their democratic rights. Democracy became dead, buried and gone. Elected councillors diminished into a rubber stamp process of the administrative arm - in this case the planning department. Councillors were presented with a 93-page document riddled with bias, with only one objective. Present the elected councillors with no other option but to leave over 3000 residents high and dry and sign off, unchallenged the approval that will lead to the complete vandalism of our tree-lined promenade, our homes' entry that can never be replaced. Council state the residents have no claim, saying Sidcorp the original developer engaged in a clever marketing campaign to entice prospective buyers to build their homes and invest their money. It worked. Council noted our parkland at our entrance was always temporary, but someone forgot to tell us for nearly 20 years. From 28 October when residents found our entry was to change forever, our council has been engaged in what could be seen as a cloud of secrecy and misinformation allegedly led by the CEO Mike Tyler and allegedly Mayor Sam Aziz. Thousands of Berwick Springs residents were never consulted, communicated any changes or given the respect and right to object. Is this 2017? Cr Aziz our ward councillor has played a public blame game on any target willing to challenge him, using his power and influence to criticise the State Government, government authorities and everyday residents who just wanted answers. Councillor Aziz's behaviour can only be described as abhorrent and that of a desperate man trying to save political fallout. He has certainly done himself no favours with his personal attacks on residents on Facebook, with only his keen supporters willing to defend his vindictive comments. This is why I call for changes to council now. As our ward councillor he should firstly represent the residents of Springfield Ward. Instead his platform has been “why should I give Berwick Springs residents their wishes?" “this will all blow over in 18 months", “you are idiots, fools, buffoons and hysterical followers". Cr Aziz has completely neglected and failed in his KPI to represent us. His conflict as mayor is evident and for
that reason I call for his resignation as ward councillor for Springfield Ward, otherwise we are to go for nearly four years accepting this level of failure. He had an opportunity to back us and he turned his back - no-one to blame here but yourself, Cr Aziz. Let someone else with more conviction and moral substance represent the people and give the residents here some level of confidence in local government. In fact Cr Aziz has done his best to undermine the democratic process and I allege from from a reliable source that Cr Aziz directed Casey councillors not to attend a recent resident rally at the Berwick Springs lake. Democracy Cr Aziz style. Not even his own councillors are willing to stand up to his behaviour. Sadly with a state election next year, Cr Aziz may very well nominate - I ask you if he can’t represent us at a local level , what damage could he do at state level? God help us, because Sam Aziz won’t. Michael Ball, Narre Warren South.
Unholy row Memo to the mayor and councillors of the City of Casey.
Ray’s
say
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS I’m at a loss for words to describe my feelings on a report (Herald Sun, Monday 20 February) regarding a junket to Israel by members of your council. You people were elected by the residents to enable the City of Casey to continue to grow and prosper. In both the economic and political climate we experience today, I do not believe your decision to undertake this junket is in the best interests of the ratepayers who will be funding it. Your council appears to be ignorant as to the feelings of the ratepayers and you also have the audacity of being the only metropolitan council to apply for an increase in the rate cap as set by the State Government. I’m sure my feelings will be echoed by a great percentage of Casey ratepayers. Oh, and by the way! Maybe one of you jetsetters could let me know why approximately two years ago there were white arrows spraypainted on the footpath either side of my driveway, or why approximately 18 months ago a dead tree was removed from my nature strip by the council and we are still waiting for a replacement. Maybe the sister city could help fix it? Your comments would be appreciated. Peter Walsh, Berwick.

MPs Inga Peulich, Tim Smith, and Gordon Rich-Phillips at a population forum in Cranbourne. Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Taskforce bid to move people By Victoria Stone-Meadows The Victorian Coalition Population Taskforce hosted a forum in Cranbourne on Friday 24 February to discuss the challenges faced by residents of the booming south-east suburbs. The forum was chaired by MP Tim Smith, who also chairs the taskforce, and was attended by coalition MPs Gordon Rich-Phillips and Inga Peulich as well as City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz. The taskforce was officially launched by Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy on 15 November 2016 and will focus on ways to entice the state’s growing population away from Melbourne’s suburbs and into regional areas. The taskforce will also be investigating issues surrounding jobs, housing, services, and transport infrastructure to manage the growing population of the state. Cr Aziz said the forum was a positive step in informing future policy around population growth in the south-east. “It was a great step forward in framing policy for managing the population growth in the southeast,” he said.
“I gave them some inserting points such as how critical it is for road and transport infrastructure to support the massive population. “I urged the MPs present to put pressure on the State Government to move on the $500 million offer from the Federal Government for the road network.” Cr Aziz also spoke about the need for a tailored approach to rate capping that takes into account the needs of councils operating in growth areas. “The consensus was that a populist and generalist rate capping across all councils does not work,” he said. “It might work for a council like Stonnington but for a council like Casey which is required to deliver $50 or $60 million of infrastructure every year it doesn’t work.” The taskforce is made up of members from research institutes, universities, as well as public and private sector interest groups. It will hold more community meeting and forums in Shepparton, Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo, the Latrobe Valley, Wodonga and Mildura before delivering a final report to MP Matthew Guy late in the year.
The Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre were greeted with a shocking sight when they returned to their Endeavour Drive address on Tuesday 21 February. The members of the learning centre arrived at the property to find a skip bin had been raided, masking tape and paint tins had been strewn across the park and a bong left behind in the rotunda. The building has been closed for eight months as renovations were undertaken at the property, and Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre CEO Jan Gilchrist said it was disgraceful to see what had happened when they returned. “We had just moved back in, and come in this morning to a bong and masking tape all around the park, graffiti everywhere, and the skip and strewn around, other rubbish about and more,” she said. “We are here to help, support, and serve the community, but then we have these kids that are coming in and doing this sort of thing.” “The skate ramp has been tidied up and painted, but now has graffiti all over it; it is disappointing to see the park in that state.” The Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre operates from within the ground of Merinda Park which is owned and maintained by the City of Casey.

“It is council land in the park, but we try to keep our areas tidy and clean and report graffiti which happens on a regular basis and council mows it,” Ms Gilchrist said. “We take pride in the park and try to keep it respectable so parents can go out with their kids to the playground, so we sort of have that community sense of pride; we want parents and students to be able to use the rotunda to eat lunch and have break.” Ms Gilchrist said the park had been impacted by this behaviour before, and it always fell back on the volunteers or students at the centre to pick up the pieces. “I would say this happens quite regularly; we are talking teenagers and a bit younger mostly get out into the park and congregate leaving rubbish around or older teens of driving age leaving rubbish in the car park,” she said. “We know in the past there have been drug deals done in the car park, and we have come back to a new building this is not quite finished but our students can’t go out to the park until we go out and clean it up.” While Ms Gilchrist said there were improvements that could be made to the park to deter people from this behaviour; she thinks it was designed in a way that left it open for abuse. “We could probably use some better lighting at night,” she said. “We’ve got good light-

Men of ideas By Victoria Stone-Meadows The first ever OM:NI (Older Men, New Ideas) Group in the City of Casey is celebrating 10 years of support for men in their retirement years. The group meets on a monthly basis at the Mechanics Hall in Narre Warren, with a focus on improving the health, well-being and lifestyle of men over 50. The Casey OM:NI group were established in 2007 following an agreement between the City of Casey, the Australian Council on the Ageing and founding OM:NI members.
OM:NI said the success of the discussion group can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of the involved volunteers. The groups model has been replicated by other OM:NI groups in the region including at Balla Balla Community Centre, Brentwood Park in Berwick, Beaconsfield Community Centre, Outlook Community Centre in Pakenham and at Woodlands Park retirement villiage in Berwick. Anyone interested in joining an OM:NI group in Casey can contact John Doutch on 0431 844 833 or Brian Regan on 0408 545 984.
Bernie Bond, John Doutch and Spencer Wanklyn are the original and still active members of the group who bought the OM:NI to Casey. Over the last 10 years, the group has attracted members from many and varied skills and experiences to ensure discussion in the group is informative and helpful for all members. The group is guided by a set of guidelines about the expectations of people participating in the group on respect, trust, confidentiality and acceptance of each other. Brian Regan of the Casey
By Victoria Stone-Meadows Cannons Creek’s resident Peacock Andrew has settled well into his new home in Cranbourne South, according to Nigel Williamson of Nigel’s Animal Rescue. The peacock was captured in a stress-free operation in a garage in Cannons Creek on 15 November 2016 and transported to his new home less than 15 minutes away. Andrew the Peacock was a permanent resident of Cannons Creek for about seven years, and no one seems to know where he came from. However, City of Casey council received a number of complaints about Andrew late last year and Nigel’s Animal Rescue was given the task of moving Andrew out of the town. “I was the one that caught him; it was the easiest capture imaginable,” Mr Williamson said.
Andrew the Peacock, a long time resident of Cannons Creek 160911 “It was completely stressfree; he had walked into a garage, so I closed the door, put a
net over him, wrapped in a blanket and 12 minutes later he was released at the new property.” “It all happened quickly and smoothly.” Mr Williamson said the bird behaved very well during transportation and loves his new digs. “He’s settled in well and he has got his harem of about three to four hens that he needs,” Mr Williamson said. “He is the oldest one in the group, and while nobody knows his real age he has the longest tail feathers and that’s how you can tell.” “He is the king of the group, so I am sure he is very happy now.” The property Andrew the Peacock has been moved to has a range of other birds including geese, ducks, pigeons and chickens on the 10 acres as well as five dams.

Top dealer expands Since 2009, Cameron and Katrina McLeish have worked to grow and develop their customer-focused new and used car dealership, Freeway Ford Cranbourne. Now, with the addition of LDV Vans and Ram Trucks to its extensive line-up, the family owned and operated business is continuing to grow, with 2017 seeing the arrival of a number of new and exciting vehicles. The list of new vehicles includes the trailblazing LDV Diesel G10 Van. Starting from $26,990 for ABN holders; the spacious vehicle is available in manual transmission, with the release of the automatic option
in March 2017. The Ram Laramie Trucks has been another exciting addition to the Freeway Ford family. Fully reengineered by Walkinshaw Performance and Australian compliant, the ultimate towing vehicle starts from $139,500, and is the perfect workhorse for jobs that go beyond the average. With over 30 years of sales experience between them, the McLeishs strive to bring a family feel to their Cranbourne business. Customer focus and a handson approach are the simple keys to their business success. These values are also upheld by Free-
way Ford’s dedicated staff such as fixed operations manager, Heath Agland, who has worked alongside Cameron for 20 years and personal delivery co-ordinator, Angela Lorusso, who began her role 12 months ago. Freeway Ford is Australia’s most awarded dealer in the past five years, and was most recently awarded Gold Master Dealer of the Year.

Troy gets intimate Troy Cassar-Daley is proud to present his new album Things I Carry Around live in concert with a very intimate show at the Village Green Hotel on Wednesday 15 March. Cassar-Daley said the album was like “opening up a large suitcase and having memories and family photographs and sounds and scents and tears and laughter and heartbreak all tumble out around you." The songs from this album were inspired through the process of gathering stories, the ones CassarDaley’s fans have been waiting to hear – his own – in the book Things I Carry Around. Cassar-Daley writes and sings about what he knows, without frills, without varnish, with a purity that somehow makes his experiences universal. “In 2017 My Things I Carry Around tour will be an interesting journey of storytelling and brandnew music," he said. “The setting will be like a lounge room so you will feel like you are at my house, with me sitting and playing for you. I’ve always wanted to do an intimate show like this for a while with myself and two other musicians. “We will embark on a tour of shows around the country with the intimacy of a house party. “When you knock on the door at these shows, I will be the one who answers it and I can’t wait to welcome you in! See you out on the road friends!” Cassar-Daley took home the coveted Album Of The Year award for Things I Carry Around at the 2017 Country Music Awards of Australia in Tamworth in January. Cassar-Daley was also elevated to the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown and is the 50th art-

John smashes WGCA record By David Nagel He can divide opinion as well as he can cut a cricket ball, but the fact remains that the highest individual score in the history of West Gippsland cricket now belongs to Merinda Park star John Cuthbertson. The hard-hitting right hander created history on Saturday, belting an incredible 50 fours and 10 sixes on his way to 360 runs against Emerald in the F Grade encounter at Donnelly Reserve. He posted a remarkable 410-run stand with Grant Bloomer (107 not out) as the Cobras sped to a massive 2/507 from their 70 overs. It’s the second time the pair has run rampant this season, Cuthbertson (263) and Bloomer (123) piling on a 392-run partnership against Pakenham in Round 6. Cuthbertson has now made 1193 runs for the season at the impressive average of 91.8. His dominance has encouraged many on social media to question his validity as an F Grade player, with his record over the years suggesting he should slot in at a higher level. But this season he has taken it even further, his partnership with Bloomer
producing incredible results. “It helps having him at the other end; he keeps talking and stops me from having those brain fades I’ve been having since I’ve been getting older,” Cuthbertson said. “It’s just the little things he says, setting targets along the way and he just makes me think about my game a bit more. He’s definitely played a big role in both of those big partnerships this season; he’s a freak of a batsman and a great team mate.” Cuthbertson took advantage of the perfect storm on Saturday, Emerald arriving with just nine players on a small ground with a lightning fast outfield. But still not everything went according to plan, with some early luck and an ailing body causing him some headaches. “I got dropped early and then nicked one through to the keeper who dropped it as well,” the record holder said. “I gave a few tough chances as well, and both physically and mentally it was pretty challenging. I’ve got nerve and lower disc problems in my back, so my back was killing me. I’m probably an idiot, and old, stubborn and stupid, but you don’t
get too many chances like that so I just stayed out there and rode my luck. “My son Dylan was watching and he knew how much pain I was in, he wanted me to kick the stumps over and get off the ground at one stage.” Emerald’s attack was young and obviously undermanned, but Cuthbertson refused to be drawn into whether the standard of lower grade cricket had diminished in recent years. “Look, I’m not going to judge other clubs, but some are strong in the lower grades and some are struggling,” he said. “Lang Lang, Upper Beaconsfield and Carlisle Park, they’ve got fantastic bowling attacks in F Grade and it’s going to be tough for us to get through finals. I felt for Emerald, they just didn’t have that experienced bowler who could tie up an end but they gave 110-percent in the field all day. “The ground was quick; they only had nine players and there were plenty of gaps around and I did get dropped a few times off some tough chances. Some days you get lucky and I got super-lucky on the weekend.”
Cuthbertson said the criticism levelled his way didn’t bother him at all. “Seriously, it doesn’t bother me one bit,” he said. “Maybe I should be playing D Grade, but we’ve had it done to us in the past and it’s still happening at other clubs right now. If my back holds up and I can train I might have a crack at a higher level next season. I just love playing the game and I’ll play higher if I get things right.” The Cobras star said he felt a great sense of achievement at cracking the magical 300-run barrier. “The scoreboard was getting updated towards the end and I saw 286 on the board and I started counting the runs,” he said, before taking a backhanded swipe at his critics. “I was stoked when I got to 300, who wouldn’t be, and then I just started swinging and the ball kept going through the gaps. Breaking records like this is a great memory for players, I just hope when someone breaks this record we get behind them and congratulate them. Someone will top this one day and I’ll be the first bloke to shake his hand and say well done.”

Star recruits for Seagulls By David Nagel Irish eyes are smiling on Tooradin as the Seagulls look to take the giant step into the upper echelon of the South East Football Netball League in 2017. The recent signing of former Carlton and Greater Western Sydney bigman Setanta O’hAilpin, along with his brother Aisake, has given the Seagulls the spine they have so long desired. Setanta has been a goal-kicking machine for Albury in the Ovens and Murray League, leading the Tigers to the last three premierships after being lured across the border by fellow Irishman and Sydney star Tadhg Kennelly. The brothers, who both stand 199cm, will offer more than great football to the Seagulls. “The two of them are terrific footballers, but more importantly to us they’re great blokes with a wealth of knowledge that can be passed on to our younger players,” Tooradin coach Lachie Gillepsie said. “It might seem like their signing has just come out of the blue, but we’ve been in discussions with the two of them since way before Christmas. They tick a lot of boxes and they fit into our culture, I can’t wait to work with the two of them this year.” Gillespie said the Seagulls desper-
Lachie Gillespie’s magnet board will look a lot more appealing this year after some key signings to the Tooradin Football Club. 153550 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS ately needed to bolster their big man department. “It gives us a nice spine but more importantly it gives us a settled line up,” he said. “The best teams in our competition, the Berwicks, the Cranbournes, the Narre Warrens, they have pretty settled line ups and play with real structure. That’s our challenge this year, to take our game to the next level and do it on a consistent basis.” The Seagulls have lost Troy Dolan and Jesse Hand, both returning to Kooweerup, while Kyle Van Der Pluym is the other key omission to
Beaconsfield. The Gulls have more than made up for those losses, with the O’hAilpins joined by Emerald captain Luke McKenna and his Bombers’ team mate Nick Jansen. Karingal forward Travis Puntaroni completes a strong list of inclusions. The Seagulls look set to benefit from a wise recruiting strategy from last season, with players like Nick Lang, Nathan Page, Jason Kestle, Andrew Dean, Matt Livermore and Josh Muling all desperate for success in their second year at the club. “They’re all hungry and they love the club, they’ve been the real leaders
during the pre-season and a huge driving force in taking this club forward,” Gillepsie said. “Josh Muling has taken care of the fitness program and some of the times these blokes are running are very impressive. We’ve got that core group settled but still got our fingers in a few pies, if we can snag a couple more we’ll be in an even stronger position both on and off the field.” That off-field set-up has been a real focus for the Seagulls during the preseason, Gillespie open an honest about his own need to improve. Former Hampton Park and Kooweerup coach Matt Shorey will take care of the forwards, former Pakenham man Nathan Jagoe the mids, while successful Berwick coach Jason Hill will work hard to build a strong defensive unit. Reserves coach Craig Perrott and Under 19 mentor Dan Conroy complete a stellar off-field assembly. “We’ve probably invested more heavily into out coaching department than we have into our players,” Gillepsie said before continuing the honesty session. “And we needed to. I needed to improve as a coach, the players will tell you my communication skills weren’t the greatest last year and I’ll be a better coach
now by having these blokes around. “It changes my job. I can set things up but the message now comes from a different voice, a different face, and that’s only going to improve the quality of our playing list. That investment into coaching will be a huge bonus for this club going forward.” The Seagulls may have strength in the seniors this year but are keen to build their stocks at both Under 19 and Under 17 level. Both teams are struggling to attract numbers at present, a real concern if things don’t turn around shortly. Young footballers looking for a fresh start could not find a better home according to the Seagulls leader. “Tooradin is a great club with great facilities and we’re building a strong culture,” Gillespie said. “We have the coaches in place now where we can do some one-on-one coaching and improve the juniors that do come into the club. We love our juniors because we know how hard they are to come by, and they’re super important to the future of this football club. If there are some young blokes out there not sure about their footy, just come down and give us a go.”
Eagles down, not out yet By David Nagel Reigning premier Cranbourne (309) needs a minor miracle to finish top four and defend its DDCA Turf 1 crown after an agonising defeat at the hands of Springvale South (7/313) on Saturday. A batting masterclass from Steve Spoljaric (123) and some late heroics from Jake Harrington (87) took the Eagles to the brink of an amazing victory at Alex Nelson Reserve. The pair joined forces with the Eagles in all sorts of trouble at 7/130, but built a 161-run stand to keep their finals hopes alive. Spoljaric’s third century of the season -his first since round four- ended via a run-out in a hectic end to proceedings. Cam Kelly (3) suffered the same fate before Harrington (87) was caught by Dylan Quirk of the bowling of Rajith Priyan (2/46) off the last ball of the day as he tried to hoick his side to victory. Cranbourne needs to defeat secondplaced Mordialloc in this week’s season-ending one-dayer and hope Ding-
ley and Narre Warren can pull surprise victories over Heinz Southern Districts and Springvale South respectively. HSD (7/200dec and 4/148) has made a spectacular leap into the top four after an extraordinary outright defeat of Berwick (192 and 8/153dec) at Reedy Reserve. Resuming on 0/7, the Cobras passed the Bears due to solid knocks from Matt Cox (69), Kaushalya Weeraratne (39) and Rob Davies (34) before enticing the Bears with a declaration. The Bears accepted the challenge with Nathan Pilon (40), Josh Holden (41 not out) and Adam Watson (28) repelling the best of Weeraratne (5/61) to open up a 145-run lead. The Cobras were destructive in their second chase for the day, Cox (68 not out) leading his side to a seasondefining victory in just 16 overs of carnage. Buckley Ridges (7/216dec) has locked in a top-four berth after continuing its dominance of North Dandenong (129 and 58) at Park Oval.
Resuming at 4/135, the Bucks relied on Daniel Watson (61 not out) to stretch their lead before asking the Maroons to the crease for a second time - and the impact was brutal. The Maroons slumped to an embarrassing 8/24 as Luke Fletcher (5/21) and Watson (3/20) did as they pleased. Narre Warren (242) will almost certainly stay in the top flight next season after a punishing bowling display against Dandenong West (100 and 1/90) at Greaves Reserve. Resuming at 3/15 the Bulls were never in the hunt as Mitchell Shirt (4/32) bowled superbly in his most important spell for the season. Peter Atkinson (43 not out) saved face for the Bulls in their second innings, with a win against North Dandenong this week imperative if they want to climb from the bottom of the ladder. Mordialloc (8/173dec) was another big winner on the weekend, earning maximum points after crushing Parkfield (96 and 49) at Ben Kavanagh Reserve. Tim Richardson (43) stood tall
HSD’s Kaushyla Weeraratne starred in an incredible victory by the Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Cobras. 164040 against the bowling of Trav D’Souza (4/27) to lead the Bloodhounds to first innings points before throwing the Bears in for a second hit. And the Bloodhounds 77-run lead was more than enough as Chathura Athukorala (6/21) and Ian Daniel (3/15) cut a path of destruction.
Demons keep grand final hopes alive By Nick Creely AFLW REVIEW - ROUND 4 MELBOURNE v CARLTON The Demons are well and truly alive in the AFL Women’s competition, comfortably knocking off Carlton in an impressive display at Casey Fields on Saturday. But it was a spirited display from the Blues, who after trailing by 20 points at one stage early in the last quarter, kicked three early goals in the final-term before the Demons steadied to take a 3-1 record. The Blues were extremely wasteful early, turning the ball over frequently, as a rampant Demons midfield feasted on the ball at ground level. It was a tight opening term, with the wind playing havoc, and both sides went into the first break with just a solitary point to their names. But the game freed up a lot more after quarter-time, with Daisy
Pearce in particular, excelling at the stoppages and using her elite foot skills to find little gaps in the field. And it was all the Demons for the best part of an hour from there, with Karen Paxman finding plenty of the footy, and Alyssa Mifsud constantly dangerous around goals. But the Blues came back hard with some exceptional passages of play, running hard and spreading from the stoppages with speed, and the Demons looked shell-shocked. And with only minutes to go and the scores level, Demons forward Richelle Cranston slipped into a vacant area 15 metres from goal to seal a stirring victory and a chance to keep their grand final hopes alive for yet another week. Pearce was once again best-onground in another commanding captain’s performance, while Paxman and Mifsud were equally damaging. However, Paxman and forward Shelley Scott are in doubt for next
round after playing through injuries on the weekend, on what could be a bitter blow to their grand final chances. Scott appeared to injure her AC joint midway through the first quarter, while star player Paxman had a sore hamstring post-match and will be taken for scans, but at this stage both appear unlikely to be play next week. Demons coach Mick Stinear was pleased with his side’s performance, praising them for toughing out a close contest and finishing on the winning side. “It was a great contest. Super effort by the Blues in the last quarter and they forced us to find another level. I thought our third quarter when it was an arm-wrestle was outstanding,” he said. “It’s hard to replicate that at training and the girls were able to live and breathe it and survive it.” The Demons will look to continue their momentum with an interstate clash against GWS in
Sydney on Friday night, with a loss potentially drawing the curtain on the season for them.

Redbacks ready to rock’n’roll The AFL South East Commission has confirmed that Hampton Park FNC will participate in the football and netball divisions of the SEFNL in season 2017. The resolution of the Commission followed a meeting of SEFNL Football and Netball presidents with members of the AFL South East Commission on Wednesday 22 February. Co-Presidents of Hampton Park, Mick O’Brien and Tim Ziegler, addressed the meeting on Hampton Park’s current registration and training numbers. The meeting acknowledged the enthusiasm with which Mick and Tim were engaging with coaches and players and demonstrated a
level of confidence of being able to field two teams in 2017. All clubs supported Hampton Park’s intention to compete in both the senior and reserve divisions. The club will now be keen to hear from players who wish to support the club and represent Hampton Park in season 2017. AFL South East Chairman, Roger Hampson, also addressed the meeting on the Commission’s approval of a review process about to commence to determine the structure of the competition in 2018. Clubs will receive the terms of reference for the review shortly, which is planned to be complete by July 2017.

Bowls
Home final is wrapped up HAMPTON PARK BOWLS The probability of Hampton Park’s Division 3 team making the finals has been known for a few weeks now and Tuesday’s win confirmed the result. With 15 wins, two losses and a washout, they are in the finals with a home semi-final next week. On Tuesday they defeated Sandringham by 28 shots. The win was set up by Clint Mills, Stuart Tokely, Peter Hayden and Heather Naismith with a 30-11 win, and supported by Rhonda Diaper, June Damon, Brian Diaper and Geoff Ampt, who won 23-12. Janice Collins, behind early in the game, Ann Westwell, Ian Kitt and Ray Wood came back after lunch but went down on the last end 17-19. Hampton Park (2) 14-70 defeated Sandringham (2) 2-42. Division 1 were at Keysborough and again failed to fire losing by 45 shots. Val Moore, Ron Beverley, John Nunan and Helen Lambert went down 13-26, Marion Battaglia, Denise Eastick, Neville Hendrie and Andrew Brandolin 17-29; and Geoff Ladner, Gwen Clough, Toni Sutton and Christine Hendrie 9-29. Hampton Park (1) 0-39 lost to Keysborough (1) 16-84. Saturday pennant the news is bad, good and hopeful. Di-
vision 1 lost to Burden Park and will be relegated to Division 2 next year. The only winning rink was Shane Hardy, Andrew Brandolin, Clint Mills and Warwick Hardy 22-19, while Neville Hendrie, Sean McDonald, Peter Hayden and Zak Storm 16-24, Geoff Ladner, Christine Hendrie, Larry Simpson and Ian Bartlett 13-24, Mark Paton, John Nunan, Chris Barnes and Steve Barnes 13-30 all lost. Hampton Park (1) 2-64 lost to Burden Park (1) 16-97. Division 4 was at home against South Oakleigh and finish with a comfortable win. Trevor Harbright, Gwen Clough, Denise Eastick and Ken Cobden 24-12, Val Moore, Janice Collins, Jen Sherry and Geoff Ampt 2312; and Vince Kovacic, Aaron Ottaway, Rob Woff and Ron Beverley 22-16, all won but Rhonda Diaper, Jim Westwell, Helen Lambert and Heather Naismith made a late comeback and went down 14-20. The win, with other results being favourable puts the Parkers in second place on the ladder with one round to play. Hampton Park (2) 16-83 defeated South Oakleigh (2) 2-60. Division 4 travelled to Willow Lodge and had another disappointing loss. Val Simpson, Bill Holden, Gavin Wilson and Ian Kitt were the only winners 22-21, while Lou
Val Simpson and her division four teammates will need to rebound strongly after a loss to Willow Lodge. Soligo, Ann Westwell, Brian Diaper and Ray Wood just fell short, losing 21-24. Gary Perrin, Wayne Grimsey, Bill Webb and Toni Sutton went down 13-26 and Gerry Cox, Craig Richards, Marion Batta-
glia and Stuart Tokely lost 1025. The latest loss drops them out of the finals and must win next week for any chance of a finals berth. Hampton Park (3) 2-66 lost to Willow Lodge (1) 16-96.
Rhonda Diaper and the Hampton Park Division 3 team will play finals after a big win over Sandringham.

CRANBOURNE BOWLS Another successful year for the ladies team finishing on top of the ladder at the end of the home and away games. The reward is to play at home in the semi-final on Tuesday against Glen Waverley and if they win that game they have an opportunity to play off for a premiership on Thursday. All three skips Cheryl Wright, Shirley Venville and Freda Farrall are quietly confident that Cranbourne have the in-form players to get them over the line for victory, but everyone must be at their very best and they all agreed that you never know what to expect in finals. Last year Cranbourne finished runners-up after losing the grand final. Any chance of playing off in finals for the Saturday pennant competition came to an abrupt end after both sides had narrow losses and now sit just outside the reach of the teams sitting in the top four on the ladder with

Cricket
Teams set for finals shot By David Nagel Finals fever has come early in the West Gippsland Cricket Association Premier Division with Kooweerup (228) and Tooradin engaged in a high-stakes final-round shootout at Tooradin on Saturday. The Demons’ fate is already determined - they’ll finish top of the ladder and take on Cardinia on semi-final weekend - but the Seagulls have plenty to play for. This week’s chase will determine if they finish second and host Pakenham in week one of the finals, or finish third and be forced to make the tricky trip to Toomuc Reserve to take on the reigning champions. And don’t forget - if the weather gods intervene on semi-final weekend the top-two finishers go through. So there’s still plenty at stake. Day one saw a typically see-sawing contest between the two powerhouses - Tooradin with the early initiative before the Demons middle order fought back with a vengeance. Cal O’Hare (4/48) set the scene for
Don’t you just love it when a plan pays off? Tooradin’s wizard behind the stumps Tom Hussey celebrates the leg-side stumping of Ben Spicer. 165319 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS the Gulls, removing potent openers Mark Cooper (2) and Chris O’Hara (24) before a steady stream of batsmen tried to settle the score. Several Demons made starts but it came down to the youngest and oldest players to have the biggest impact
... a 15-year-old star on the rise and a 41-year-old veteran who has seen it and done it before. Mitch Cammarano (47) showed composure beyond his years, sharing partnerships of 28 with Jess Mathers (24) and a crucial 62-run stand with
Matt Bright (27) before, ironically, passing the baton to Davey (38). The Demons stalwart did what he does best, guiding his team to an impressive total. “I thought it was a great test,” Davey said of day one. “We were happy with it in the end - it definitely gives us something to bowl to. “They’ve got to win (to hold on to second spot) so they’ll definitely be up for it this week.” Aaron Avery (2/22) and Kade Burns (2/55) gave O’Hare solid support for the Gulls. Pakenham fine-tuned its finals bowling strategies with a top-notch performance against Merinda Park (145) at Donnelly Reserve. Tom Tyrrell (4/24) was once again the star for the Lions, combining a nagging line and length with the uncanny ability to bowl the unplayable ball. Tyrrell, Chris Savage (2/27) and skipper Dom Paynter (1/31) had the Cobras in all sorts of trouble at 5/34, and again at 6/60, before the home side
showed some spirit. Andy Martin (44) and Danny Diwell (27) at least gave the score an air of respectability. Emerald (241) will narrowly avoid relegation once again after Geordie Scott (90) revived the Bombers’ spirits at Chandler Reserve. Dangling at 6/60, Mitchell Thomas (34) led the Bombers out of trouble before Scott and veteran Clinton Marsh (36) applied the finishing touches. Nick Kyval (5/71), Luke Gunton (2/26) and Jack Donaldson (2/48) were among the wickets for the relegationbound Yabbies. And Cardinia is in the box seat after its bowlers kept close tabs on Upper Beaconsfield (184) at Gunton Oval. Bath Perera (77 not out) and Rukshan Carim (49) showed their class for the Maroons but had too few mates come along for the ride. The unstoppable Dwayne Doig (4/90 off 34) bowled a marathon spell for the Bulls, while skipper Neil Barfuss (3/17) had a day out in his 100th game for the club.

Poor form leaves contenders struggling By Nick Creely Casey-South Melbourne (126) will need to draw on the guts and determination that has defined its Vic Premier Division season after a horrific day one against Prahran (8/210) at Toorak Park on Saturday. The Swans had worked so hard to begin the final round of the season in fourth place but have, basically, handed it away after a poor batting display against a desperate host. If Prahran can convert its dayone dominance into outright points it could jump from 11th to book a finals berth. Sent in by the Blues, the Swans lost four early wickets to be sitting at an ugly 4/22, before Jordan Wyatt (21) and the in-form Michael Wallace (49) scrapped their way to 126.
A devastating century to Adam Bull (103) ended any chance of another against-the-odds victory for the Swans, with the Blues reaching 8/210 by stumps, and with first-innings points in the bag. Brendan Rose (2/48), Jackson Fry (2/43), Lachlan Sperling (2/46) and Dylan Hadfield (2/25) have two wickets each for the Swans who have much needed momentum to play for on day two. And Dandenong (1/24) has a mountain to climb if it wants to finish top-two, with St Kilda (6/335dec) posting a massive total at Harry Trott Oval. A top-four finish is a guarantee but a home-final is not, and despite being a flag favourite the Panthers have been plagued by some inconsistent form in previous rounds.
And with Justin Butterfield still missing through injury and James Pattinson on state duties, the Panthers’ bowling attack once again looked quite thin with a raft of youngsters shouldering the load. Interestingly, the Panthers actually sent the Saints in on their home deck, a decision they may regret. After picking up an early scalp to have the Saints at 1/18, Lachlan Holmes (140) and Damon Egan (115) combined for an incredible 242-run partnership, completely dominating the young Panthers. Both Holmes and Egan have alternated between First XI and Second XI cricket this season, but both batsman were dominant against an attack that was lacking a bit of firepower. James Nanopoulos (3/71) was
the pick of the bowlers while Peter Cassidy (3/62) provided some solid support as he always does. And with 10 overs to go and with the damage looking to be kept to a minimum, the Panthers started solidly through skipper Tom Donnell and Brett Forsyth before Donnell (6) was caught off some clever bowling from Michael Beer (1/8) right on the stroke of stumps - a major blow for the visitors. The Panthers are looking to hold onto a top-two finish and are likely to welcome back James Pattinson to bat this week. There is plenty left in the shed for the Panthers, however, with Cam Forsyth, Brett Forsyth, Pattinson and Lincoln Edwards still to come next week and all in terrific touch with the bat.

�� Reviews and news…
Toyota injects wow factor By Ewan Kennedy And now for something completely different. Toyota C-HR answers the critics who say the Japanese giant makes nothing but boringly sensible vehicles. Akio Toyoda, the current head of the automotive company started by his grandfather, issued orders to his stylists, and you see the result here. Toyota C-HR is like nothing else we have seen before, with sharp diagonal lines, inside and out, standout wheelarches, and a rear that’s so complex it initially confuses the mind. Even better, the C-HR is offered in interesting colours to challenge the 500 shades of grey haunting our roads these days. Red, orange, blue, even two-tone schemes let owners make a real statement although, it has to be admitted, there are greys in there as well so Toyota can cover all all bases. The C-HR fills a long standing gap in the company’s line-up. Though Toyota is extremely strong in every other area of the Australian 4WD and SUV market, a small-medium contender was missing - because the RAV4 had grown to become a family wagon not a trendy small vehicle. The delay was explained by Toyota C-HR chief engineer Hiroyuki Koba who honoured Australia by flying down to introduce us to his new car.
Like nothing else we have seen before, the new Toyota C-HR. It had intended to introduce the C-HR several years back and work began in 2010. But part way through the design things were halted to make it part of an all-new lightweight platform. A smart decision because the light, strong body feels really taut and precise on the road. Power for the C-HR comes from an all-new four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine displacing 1.2 litres. A thoroughly modern unit, it produces torque of 185 Newton metres, starting from a low 1500 revs and run-
ning up to 4000 rpm, so most drivers will be experiencing top torque virtually all the time. Peak power is just 85 kilowatts. But it’s torque that talks and during our drive program from north Melbourne to the Yarra Valley and back to Tullamarine airport we were most impressed by it. It pulls strongly from low revs with minimal turbo lag due to its small capacity. The great majority of buyers are likely to opt for the CVT automatic (with seven pretend gears for pseudo-
manual operation), which is a shame because we spent a couple of hundred kilometres in a C-HR with a six-speed manual gearbox. This is a delightful unit with well chosen ratios and a slick action. If you’re feeling lazy you don’t even have to rev match the gearchanges in the manual - the car will do it for you. But if you don’t like that and want to take full responsibility of the gearbox you can switch that feature off. Chief engineer Koba is a competent weekend car racer, in single-wheelers among other weapons, and has total understanding of what ‘real’ drivers want from their cars. Handling is excellent, with the C-HR stepping in to maximise road grip by sensing what each wheel is doing. This is becoming increasingly common in high-performance sportscars, even in Grand Prix cars, and it’s interesting to see it making its way down to machines like this sporty Toyota SUV/hatch/coupe - whatever you want to call it. An advantage of electronics in the suspension is that ride comfort is maintained. The little Toyota covered fairly rough stages of dirt road during our media drive day and shrugged off the surfaces with ease. There is good interior room for four adults, with the back seats providing surprisingly good head and legroom.
However, the swoop-down roof means the back seats are set pretty low and are as comfortable as you might expect. The combination of lowset seats and a very high waistline will cause problems with the view out for children in the back. Perhaps take them along on your personal pre-purchase test drive to check on this. Did you spot the rear door handles in our photos? They’re up there near the roof if you didn’t … Toyota C-HR is now on sale at all Toyota dealers. It’s priced from a recommended retail of $26,990 for the six-speed manual front-wheel-drive C-HR. Another $2,000 is added for the automatic, and a further $2,000 for the of all-wheel drive powertrain. The topline C-HR, named the Koba in honour of the chief engineer, has 18-inch alloys, leather-accented seats, keyless entry and start, LED lamps front and rear and a clever nanoe system that moisturises cabin air. The C-HR Koba is priced at $35,290. The Toyota range is available for test drive at Berwick Toyota, 468 486 Princes Highway, Narre Warren, on 9707 4455; Pakenham Toyota, 33 Commercial Drive, Pakenham, on 5945 1777; Cranbourne Toyota, 284 South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne, on 5955 1111.
