Millenium Man to go

North west a virus hot spot

By Ewen McRae Much-loved Sunshine icon Millennium Man is set to be removed. he future of the statue – which has stood outside the Sunshine Marketplace since 1997 – has been a source of debate recently as plans for a development of the centre progressed. However in a statement last week, Marketplace owner Vicinity Centres conirmed the statue would not be restored. “Sunshine Marketplace’s Millennium Man is being removed due to signiicant damage,” the spokesperson said. “Millennium Man is now over 20 years old and over the past two decades the sculpture’s exposure to weather and other elements has resulted in signiicant damage that our expert consultants have advised is impossible to repair.

‘‘

The love for him is massive and people don’t understand his value

’’

- Dinesh Jayasuriya “With the safety of the local community our top priority over the coming days we are taking the necessary steps to remove the sculpture and the area will remain fenced of while these works take place.” Local resident Dinesh Jayasuriya said Millennium Man had become more than just a statue to the Sunshine community, and lamented that a decision on its future had been made in the middle of a pandemic. “If it wasn’t for COVID I think we would have hundreds, if not a thousand people around Millennium Man to protest this,” Mr Jayasuriya said. “he love for him is massive, and people don’t understand his value to the local community unless you are local. “A lot of people that grew up in Sunshine have an emotional connection to him. hey played near him, they met their parents there and he’s a reminder of their childhood, in fact he’s been there long enough that those that were kids when he went in now have kids of their own, and so it continues.” Mr Jayasuriya said he hoped Vicinity Centres reconsidered and made restoring Millennium Man a part of any redevelopment plans. “If Vicinity think they are going to be part

of our community in the long term, then they should talk to us,” he said. “here’s no doubt it needs to be restored, and he’s been neglected for a long time, but if you are going to do this massive development of the centre, surely

restoring Millennium Man would be a small fraction of the cost of the overall development. “In return we get a unique Sunshine Marketplace, and not something that can just be found anywhere else.”

Parts of the northern and western suburbs have been labelled as hot spots for “low level” community transmission of COVID-19 by Victoria’s chief health oicer. Professor Brett Sutton said recent cases suggested the area from Keilor Downs to Fawkner and Craigieburn was a current hot spot for community transmission, adding that most of Victoria’s recent virus cases were recorded in the northern and western suburbs. “his indicates there is on-going community transmission in these areas, although it appears to be at low levels,” he said. Professor Sutton said people living in the area should stay home if they are unwell and get tested if they develop coronavirus symptoms. Eight pop-up drive-through testing sites are currently operating across Melbourne, including at Keilor Community Hub, and Highpoint, Paciic Werribee and Paciic Epping shopping centres. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there was one active case of COVID-19 in Brimbank as of Sunday. he municipality has recorded 73 cases since the pandemic began. In Hume, three cases remained active. he have been a total of 72 cases in the municipality. Neighbouring Whittlesea has recorded no active cases since June 7. here were no active cases in Melton, Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay or Wyndham. Last last month, four school students from the northern and western suburbs tested positive to the virus. Keilor Downs Secondary College was closed for deep cleaning on May 29 ater a student returned a positive test. A student from St Albans Secondary College also tested positive ater taking part in a class with the infected Keilor Downs student. A grade two pupil at Holy Eucharist Primary School in St Albans South also tested positive. Laura Michell

Cop shock as driver blows .263 By Esther Lauaki A Deer Park man faces drink driving charges ater he returned a breath test ive times over the legal alcohol limit with a ive-year-old child unrestrained in the back seat of his car. Public Order Response Team members stopped the 35-year-old high range drink driver in Altona North last Sunday as part of Operation Regal – a four-day road safety blitz over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Oicers said they noticed a Holden Trax being driven erratically on the Westgate

Freeway about 2.45pm. he car was stopped and oicers spoke to the driver about his driving and the improperly restrained ive-year-old girl he had travelling in the back seat. he man took an evidentiary test, at a nearby police station, and returned an alleged result of 0.263. His car was immediately impounded with towing costs of $896.20 and he is to be charged on summons for drink driving and other traic-related ofences. At the weekend, Victoria Police issued

208 seat belt ofences across the state, which included children who were not restrained. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said it was frustrating to see children not buckled up in their vehicle. “You don’t think twice about getting into a car and putting on your seatbelt, so I struggle to comprehend why you wouldn’t ensure your passengers have the same safety luxury,” Assistant Commissioner Murphy said. “Given that over the weekend the drivers were also impaired, the situations could

have quite quickly escalated and had deadly consequences for those poor children. “Your seatbelt acts as a life vest if in a collision. I implore you to please make sure your passengers are always buckled up.” Assistant Commissioner Murphy said during the four-day statewide operation 10,743 traic ofences and 847 crime ofences were detected. Operation Regan was aimed at reducing road trauma, including the number of lives lost and injuries on our roads. It ran from 12.01am Friday, June 5 to 11.59pm Monday, June 8.

Art helps with the low Shoppers at Woodgrove will be treated to a colourful display over the next two months, as a local artist unveils his latest work. he piece by Melton West artist Bryce Holywell is titled Flow State and charts his personal experience of overcoming mental health issues through meditative awareness, otherwise known as the low state. he piece was created in partnership with Woodgrove Shopping Centre and Melton council. Woodgrove manager Kylie Robertson said she hoped shoppers took the time to stop and soak up it’s message.

“Without a doubt, this is a challenging period of time. “Holywell’s inspiring artwork centres around mental wellbeing and relaxation, which we hope will help to support and uplit the community during COVID-19,” Ms Robertson said. “As the need for physical distancing is rapidly changing the way we go about normal daily activities, the idea of bringing positive messages to the community is at an all-time high.” he artwork will display wellbeing messages, including ‘Together, we will be kind, reach out, and get through’ and ‘Choose kindness, for

yourself, and others’. Melton mayor Lara Carli said it was great to bring art into the community while galleries were closed. “hese works are mesmerising to see and are a credit to the local creative talent that exists in the City of Melton,” Cr Carli said. “It’s an eye-catching reminder of the beauty, peace and joy that remains strong in our community, even at diicult times.” he artworks will be in place until July 31

Seven Ardeer residents escaped a ire that took hold of their Ballarat Road home last Tuesday morning. More than 20 ireighters responded to the property just ater 4.30am. A Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokeswoman said ire crews found the single-storey home well alight when they arrived on scene just minutes ater dispatch. She said crews, wearing breathing apparatus for protection from the smoke, entered the building to conirm all residents had safely evacuated. Seven residents escaped the ire and were assessed by Ambulance Victoria paramedics at the scene. A teenage girl was treated and taken to Western Hospital in a stable condition with smoke inhalation. Fireighters were able to contain the ire to the rear of the home, and brought it under control in less than half an hour. he MFB believes blankets let near a heater may have been the cause of the ire. At the height of the blaze there were 10 appliances on scene including ive pumpers, a rescue unit and an aerial unit. he MFB urged residents to use heaters safely by: • Drying clothes and other items that may catch ire at least one metre away from all heating. • Ensure heaters are installed, maintained and operated according to manufacturer’s instructions. • Always use a ire screen in front of an open ire. • Chimneys and lues cleaned yearly.

Brimbank council wants federal laws to acknowledge the impact of climate change. he government recently received submissions as part of an independent review of its central piece of environmental law, the Environment Protection, Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999. Brimbank mayor Georgina Papafotiou said the council’s submission was aimed at helping strengthen and modernise the act. “his review is timely and an excellent opportunity to strengthen the federal government’s powers to protect our precious environment,” Cr Papafotiou said. “While plants, animals, ecological communities, heritage places, water resources are among matters of national environmental signiicance in the Environment Protection, Biodiversity and Conservation Act … it makes no mention of climate change. “Council believes the impact of carbon emissions on the environment should also be included.” Other recommendations made by the council’s environment department include establishing a position for an appropriately resourced locally or regionally-based oicer to enforce federal laws that protect the environment and enforcement of penalties when the federal environmental laws are broken. It also called for greater communication with local governments on environmental issues. he council recently acknowledged the impact of changing climate by declaring a climate emergency, and is developing a climate emergency plan.

Stepping up to help our elderly By Alesha Capone Dr Hanatsu Nagano has achieved worldwide acclaim for designing shoe insoles which help to prevent falls in elderly people. But Dr Nagano, a postdoctoral research fellow at Victoria University’s Footscray Park campus, says he does not aim to win awards or gain recognition. Instead, the Tarneit resident said he looks to “commit myself into projects that I believe will help society”. Dr Nagano created the insoles while completing his PhD, ater two of his grandparents in Japan sufered falls. “When I was in the last year of my bachelor degree, I was looking for something worthwhile devoting my life into,” Dr Nagano said.

‘‘

the irst thing I did was to send them to my grandparents - Dr Nagano

’’

“I was given an ofer for honours research for falls prevention and coincidently, my grandparents fell. “I took this as the fate and since then, I have been fully dedicated into this project.” he ISEAL insoles – which are named ater the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Active Living at Victoria University – have a series of raised bumps that follow a foot’s ideal centre of pressure to help with side-to-side balance; a shock-absorbing contoured heel; and a forefront that helps increase minimum toe clearance. Research has shown the insoles lessen the risk of falls in senior citizens, which annually cause injuries to one-in-three elderly people across the globe. “As soon as the irst prototype insoles were developed, the irst thing I did was to send them to my grandparents,” Dr Nagano said. Dr Nagano said the entire process of inventing the insoles “has been long and hard” – from human trials involving more than 100 people, to inding manufacturers capable of

producing the product. Dr Nagano also established his company, Global Bridge Melbourne Pty Ltd in Tarneit, and entered into agreements with VU, manufacturers and retailers. For the creation of the insole, Dr Nagano has received awards, including the Most

Innovative New Care Product in the World for three consecutive years at he Globals, which recognise development in seniors’ goods and services. He has been inducted into the Global Healthcare Hall of Fame and has been given a Professional Achievement Alumni Award by VU.

Dr Nagano is currently working with Professor Yoshiyuki Sankai, chief executive of the robotics company CyberDyne, to develop a “Smart” insole, which will be detect risks in walking and running such as falls, osteoarthritis and foot deformities. Details: https://iseal-insole.net/

it easier for businesses to ind other local businesses, events and projects and promote their own business. “Localised provides a platform for business to upload their business details in the online business directory, upload stories and articles to the news feed, look for procurement opportunities in the marketplace and upload and ind out about business events.” he council has encouraged businesses to sign up at www.brimbank.localised.com.au Brimbank.Localised is funded by the council

Seaworks executive oicer Glenn Jones said the site was waiting to open up to the public again as coronavirus restrictions were eased. “We’re hoping to reactivate the site a little bit more and we’ll be able to put on performances here, as well as people being

able to come and see behind the scenes of how these things are built. “What we plan to do, as we’re allowed to when we open up, is look at the possibility of puppetry workshops and open performances as far as rehearsals … people can just come along and see how it’s all done.” “Once we get some clariication on the restrictions being reduced to allow greater number, then we’ll be opening it up to the potential for extra shows and performances,” he said.

Police are looking for witnesses to a road rage incident at the intersection of Barries and Coburns roads in Melton on June 5.

Emergency call centre opens By Alesha Capone A new emergency communications centre, which will house triple-0 operators, has oicially opened in Williams Landing. Victoria’s Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) hosted the opening of its Overton Road centre earlier this month. ESTA is moving its 24-hour police and VICSES call-taking operations from Docklands to the purpose-built centre in Williams Landing.

‘‘

’’

ESTA chief executive Marty Smyth said triple-0 operators answered more than 2.6 million calls for help each year and that the new Williams Landing centre would help to meet growth in demand. “It’s an exciting and signiicant milestone in ESTA’s capability to add increased call-taking and dispatch capacity, provide for future growth of the workforce and ofer employment opportunities in the area of Wyndham City and surrounds,” Mr Smyth said. “In the next 12-24 months, we will be looking to increase the centre’s capability to include ambulance and ire services, which could generate more than 100 new job opportunities.” In April, Star Weekly reported that the emergency communications facility had been sold for $25.93 million. Cedar Woods Properties Limited sold the four-storey building to Hellenic Property Investments Pty Ltd, which has, in turn, leased

Cedar Woods managing director Nathan Blackburne said the emergency communications centre featured “sophisticated IT systems, back-up power, and high-quality inishes and materials throughout”. “here are also acoustic treatments to the building which help to limit internal noise

transfer and much more,” he said. Wyndham mayor Josh Gilligan, said: “We welcome this new facility to Wyndham which shows the city’s ability to attract large organisations seeking access to a professional services workforce.” ESTA also has State Emergency Communications Centres in Burwood East and at Mt Helen, near Ballarat.

New sports ovals on track Significant milestones on some exciting major sporting projects have been reached in recent months. Stage 1A of the Eynesbury Recreation Reserve is now complete, while the first stage of the MacPherson Park redevelopment is nearing completion. Once finished, both projects will provide much-needed training and competition spaces for local sporting clubs as well as places for the whole community to gather and stay active.

We’re grateful that this $13.8 million project has been made possible through a partnership with the Federal Government (Building Better Regions Fund), the Victorian Government (Growing Suburbs Fund), and AFL Victoria.

MacPherson Park Redevelopment A synthetic oval with lighting, a netball court with lighting and warm up space, a cricket net training facility, and a community pavilion with change rooms and meeting rooms are almost ready to welcome football, cricket and netball clubs.

Eynesbury Recreation Reserve A brand new senior AFL and cricket oval has been developed, and irrigation, fencing and drainage installed for Stage 1A. With Stage 1B now underway, it won’t be long before the community can start using this fantastic new facility. This next stage will deliver a pavilion with social room, kitchen, change rooms, umpires’ room, first aid and storage, hard courts, adventure play space, car parking, lighting and cricket nets. These works are scheduled to be complete by mid-2021.

This $13.3 million Stage 1 development is revitalising the eastern aspect of MacPherson Park and has been supported by funding from the Victorian Government (Growing Suburbs Fund) and AFL Victoria. Council is now preparing funding applications for Stage 2 of the redevelopment, which will include a new soccer pavilion and two new sports grounds.

Celebrating women in council It’s been 100 years since Mary Rogers was elected to Richmond City Council, cementing her place in history as Victoria’s irst female councillor. Today, of the state’s 79 local councils, 35 have more than 40 per cent female councillors and there are 36 female mayors. Star Weekly talks to some of the women shaping the communities in the north and west. Cr Carly Moore

Cr Kim McAliney

Carly Moore hopes she is teaching girls across Hume that anything is possible. he irst-term councillor is Hume’s current mayor and the irst Hume councillor to be voted into the top job two years in a row. It’s an achievement Cr Moore is understandably very proud of. “It is a big achievement … I think it is a good endorsement from my fellow councillors that I am doing a good job,” she said. Cr Moore was irst elected to Hume council in October 2016. She ran for council on the advice of her sister, Casey Nunn, a former Hume mayor. “My sister … served for four years before me. She encouraged me to run and took me to a candidate information session,” Cr Moore said. “It was at that information session that I became serious about running for council. I can clearly remember looking around the room … really thinking about whether these other candidates could better represent me and my family.” Cr Moore said the 2016 council elections also came at a time when she was ready for a career change. Having worked as an accountant in inancial services in the city for a number of years before becoming self-employed, Cr Moore said she had reached a point where she was looking for something new. hese days, she continues to work part-time while juggling the role of mayor and mum to four school-aged children, who for the most part love that their mum is mayor. “It’s been an amazing experience,” Cr Moore said, “I genuinely love it.” While Cr Moore said she has many “fond memories” from the past four years, her favourite experiences on council have involved

Wyndham Cr Kim McAliney says she is passionate about giving everyone, regardless of their gender or socio-economic background, equal access to decision-making opportunities in their community. Cr McAliney has served on Wyndham council for a total of 11 years, including twice as mayor and once as deputy mayor. “When I was irst elected, I was thrilled, and honoured to be given the opportunity to not only make a diference – but be the diference – to be a leader, an inspiration to women – to show what was possible with determination, persistence, tenacity and the willingness to pursue your dreams even with a young family,” she said. Cr McAliney was recently nominated by members of the Ministries of the Women’s Round Table, which is chaired by the Minister for Local Government, to sit on the Gender Parity in Local Government committee. “As a councillor there are challenges,” she said. “It’s a political environment, however you need to remember why you are there – to serve the people. “It’s an opportunity to develop and learn new skills and you can make a real diference.” Cr McAliney said she was proud to see Wyndham council endorse its Towards Equality Policy Statement and Action Plan earlier this year. “We have come a long way, no doubt, but there is still a way to go,” she said. “It is disappointing that in 160 years, only six female mayors have been elected in Wyndham. “I hope to see an increase in the number of women, and candidates from diverse backgrounds stand for election and be represented.” Cr McAliney said that aside from her council duties, she had spent 20 years as a cadet with the St Johns Ambulance Brigade. his aligns well with her role as Wyndham council’s safer communities portfolio holder. “Over the years, I have built close working partnerships with emergency services personnel from our local police force, SES, Coast Guard, Ambulance Vic and to the CFA,” she said. “I have immense respect and gratitude for our front-line responders, who all do a fantastic job in diicult circumstances – oten responding, assisting and helping the most vulnerable in our society.”

Macedon Ranges council Macedon Ranges mayor Janet Pearce may have only been in council for four years, but she says the experience has been a “huge learning curve”. Cr Pearce was elected to council in 2016 and has spent her time listening to local residents’ stories and attending community events across the region. But her involvement within the community

goes back far further than that. Spending time in the community that she calls home was one of the reasons she decided to pursue a career in local council. “I have always been very active in volunteering and have met such a diverse range of people over the years,” she said. “I realised that passionate, supported and resilient communities can achieve amazing things and are such an asset. “My children have grown up, attended school here and have been involved in many

groups. My husband and I are involved in a small business in the shire. “I felt I could relate to many aspects of living in the shire and the community and I could contribute in many ways.” To better understand the Macedon Ranges and it’s locals as a councillor, Cr Pearce spent her irst two years in council attending as many local events and visiting community groups. She put her hand up as a mayoral candidate during the 2018 election and was voted in by her fellow councillors. She was re-elected as mayor in October last year. While the role of the mayor is all about “greater responsibilities” and becoming “more deeply involved” according to Cr Pearce, she says the role is not without its challenges. “I had always promised I would commit 100 per cent to the role,” she said. “At times it is challenging to reach and engage with everyone and people have diferent opinions, but in the end you make the decision you believe is best for the whole community and the shire. “You really are learning every day.” Females represent more than half of the Macedon Ranges councillors, including deputy mayor Mandi Mees. Cr Pearce is hoping the female representation among her council inspires other women to take up positions in local government. “It is important to have equality and diversity in representation of the community,” she said. “We need more women to get involved, to take that step forward and to believe in themselves that they can make a diference. “Being a councillor is one of the most fulilling opportunities available to residents.”

Cr Sarah Carter

(Damjan Janevski) 208673_08

Maribyrnong council Making a diference at a grassroots level and being a role-model for other women have sustained Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter’s love of serving in local government for more than a decade. Before becoming a councillor she worked as a communications oicer at Hume council. Seeing the excitement of local young people at the opening of the Hume Global Learning Centre in Broadmeadows, Cr Carter understood the direct diference local government can make in the lives of residents. “I remember the naysayers saying the kids aren’t going to turn up, it’s Broadmeadows, but when the learning centre opened there was a queue out the door,” she said. “It was something that really struck me about the capacity to engage at this level.” Cr Carter soon moved to the west and decided to dip her toe into local politics, feeling

like “a ish out of water” at irst. She has now spent three terms and 12 years on council,and is the city’s current mayor, the second time she has held the role. Come the November elections at the end of this year, she plans to throw her hat back into the ring and seek a fourth term as a councillor. “I think it is the people that keeps me coming back,” she said. “We really have a special community here in the west, there are so many wonderful people and it just remains a real privilege to be able to serve them.” he rapid growth of Footscray in particular, but Maribyrnong generally, brings with it challenges and opportunities, according to Cr Carter. “One of the things I want to see get of the ground is the ’NeXT project’, the Footscray library redevelopment that is a personal passion project of mine because I would love to see a performing arts centre here,” she said.

“I think it’s ambitious, but I think now is the time to be really ambitious while we have caught the attention of state and federal governments.” Cr Carter said she is mindful of her role as a woman in a leadership position and she hopes this inluences more women from a range of backgrounds to consider representing their community via local government. “his term, ive out of the seven councillors are women which is great, but I think more work has to be done to get into the CALD communities to identify emerging leaders,” she said. “I want to promote the opportunities they can take and contributions they can make.” Cr Carter said not only does better representation improve the situation for women, but makes for a better society. “he more diversity we have around a table the better the outcomes … everyone wins.”

Cr Lara Carli

Cr Georgina Papafotiou

Melton mayor Lara Carli has always wanted to serve the community. For much of the past two decades, Cr Carli has been involved in local government, irst as a young councillor in Whittlesea, and now coming to the end of her second term in Melton. It is a passion that stems back to her youth. “I grew up in a family where, at the dinner table, we would discuss community and world events,” Cr Carli said. “I became well aware of social justice at a very early age, so getting into politics seemed a natural choice for me. “I wanted to serve and give to others in a way that was not only meaningful but also have a long-lasting legacy for the community.” Ater attending her irst council meeting at a young age, Cr Carli made her irst steps into local government in 2003 when she was elected to Whittlesea council at just 24, juggling the demands of an 8-month-old child with her council responsibilities. Just a year later she was elected as mayor, making her the irst female to hold that position in the 130-year history of the council. When her family relocated to Melton, it was not long before she returned to local government, elected to Melton council in 2012 and 2016. “I love what I do, and it’s so rewarding to be part of the decision-making process that has the potential to positively impact the lives of thousands of people, not only now but for

he majority of Brimbank councillors are women, including the leadership positions of mayor and deputy mayor. Mayor Georgina Papafotiou said her family was a major reason behind her decision to enter local politics. “Brimbank is my home, and I have lived here for over 40 years. I was motivated to run for council by my drive to make a diference in my community and to celebrate its successes,” she said. “I would also attribute this interest to my family background where my parents represented the Greek community and were actively involved in many community activities. his ignited a passion in me to serve the community in various forms throughout my career in education, and through volunteering on a lot of local committees.” She said the number of women on the council was a credit to the municipality. “Brimbank is one of only four municipalities in Victoria (alongside Darebin City Council, Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Yarra City Council) to have a majority of female councillors as well as a female mayor, deputy mayor and CEO,” she said. “In Brimbank, seven of our 11 elected councillors – or just over 60 per cent – are female. I was extremely pleased to see so many women voted into our council.” She said a large array of women can only be beneicial. “Women have a wealth of unique knowledge, experience, expertise and perspectives that they can bring to roles in council – either as councillors or in senior leadership positions. “Female participation in local government is improving, but still far too slow, in my opinion. I believe promoting more gender equality will help encourage more women to stand for oice.” Deputy mayor Cr Kim hien Truong echoed her sentiments, but said the wheel is slowly turning. “here have certainly been some challenges along the way,” Cr Truong said. “Gender equality is important for the whole community, and it is not only a women’s issue – we know that communities thrive in a society where men and women are treated equally.”

generations to come,” Cr Carli said. “here will always be those in the community that support diferent views from myself or council, but I’m always very proud when our council is united and strives to achieve the very best for our residents. “One of my proudest moments was being part of the community campaign for a Melton Hospital, and what we achieved out of that working together with the state government has been fantastic to see.”

Cr Colleen Gates

Hobsons Bay council A desire to improve the relationship between council and community led to Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates entering local government 18 years ago. She has been a councillor since 2012, served as mayor twice in 2014-15 and 2019-20, and as deputy mayor in 2013-14 and in 2016-17. Cr Gates has a strong interest in the environment and enhancing public open space. She is a qualiied environmental professional

with vast experience in contaminated land clean-up, pollution prevention, environmental compliance and waste management. Cr Gates’ greatest achievement in local government was seeing the former Laverton Primary School site on Epsom Street transformed into a modern, inclusive community park, which involved extensive community consultation. “Ater years of advocating to the state government to give the Epsom Street school site back to the community, council was able to purchase the site in 2014 and last year the

With 2020 marking 100 years of women being elected into local government, Cr Carli said it would be great to see more women involved at council. “I’m always looking for an opportunity to encourage more women to be involved with council, and particularly the youth in our community,” she said. “It’s deinitely easier now for women to enter local government than when I was irst elected, and I believe the inequality in local government is largely gone.”

community celebrated the opening of the new park, formally named Curlew Community Park,” she said. “I was incredibly proud to see one hectare of unused space become a vibrant community hive of activity, and touched that the park would feature tributes to four local residents to honour their contribution to the Laverton community.” Cr Gates is hopeful that in the future additional land on the site will be dedicated to independent living for older residents or people with disabilities. She is also proud of infrastructure improvements delivered through advocacy, including the Laverton Community Hub and the rail crossing removal project. In her second term as mayor, Cr Gates has focused on community connectedness, open space and innovation. She says, her favourite job being mayor is the privilege of conducting citizenship ceremonies and getting to meet new people. Cr Gates supported a number of women with their election campaigns in 2016 and would encourage more women to get involved with local government. “Many women are concerned about being able to juggle multiple responsibilities around family and work commitments but it’s absolutely possible to multi-task … and still be a successful and efective community advocate,” she said.

We’re busy building big in the west

The Metro Tunnel will create space for

176,000 passengers

More than $70 billion in road and rail projects will mean a better transport network for Melbourne’s booming western suburbs.

every week in peak periods on the Sunbury, Werribee and Williamstown lines

Across Melbourne’s west, we’ve removed four dangerous and congested level crossings with seven more to go, making it easier and safer to get around.

Melbourne’s west is growing and Victoria’s Big Build is delivering massive new infrastructure to get people to and from the west safer and sooner. The West Gate Tunnel Project will slash travel times from the west to the CBD with more lanes on the West Gate Freeway, twin tunnels under Yarraville and a new bridge over the Maribyrnong River, taking thousands of trucks off local roads in the inner west. The Western Roads Upgrade is adding extra lanes and removing bottlenecks on eight key arterial roads in the west to make it easier and safer to get to where you need to go. The project is delivering better road maintenance across the west as well as new walking and cycling paths from Williamstown to Werribee.

The West Gate Tunnel will cut up to

20 minutes from travel times

We’re getting started on what’s needed to keep you moving in the decades to come. The Metro Tunnel will free up space in the City Loop to run more trains, more often on the Sunbury, Werribee and Williamstown lines, by running our busiest train lines through a new tunnel under the city. New underground stations will provide direct access to Parkville’s education, health and research precinct and St Kilda Road’s commercial district. The Sunbury Line Upgrade will allow bigger, more modern trains to run on the busy Sunbury Line by improving tracks, upgrading power infrastructure and delivering platform extensions at eight stations between Sunbury and Footscray.

Pregnancy during a pandemic By Alesha Capone For Emma Slattery, being pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic has presented her with several challenges, but has also allowed her to have more family time. he mother to two girls, four-year-old Lilly and two-year-old Aurelia, is expecting her third child in mid-July. Miss Slattery said there was always a fear of the unknown, and as an expectant parent, the pandemic had ampliied this. She said medical appointments have been “very diferent” when compared to her previous two pregnancies. “Not having as many, and most of them being over the phone, was a diicult thing to get your head around,” she said. “It’s hard enough trying to remember all the things you want to ask in a face-to-face appointment, let alone when you are on the phone with kids ighting for your attention. “When you did have appointments, ultrasounds, specialists, etc there were no support people or children allowed to come in with you.” She said that had presented more things to think about, such as: “Who can I leave my children with while I have appointments?” and “Who has been self-isolating so that I know it’s safe to leave the kids with them?” Ms Slattery said she understood and respected the precautionary measures medical outlets are taking during the coronavirus outbreak. But she said not having as much contact with the hospital meant she didn’t ind out her iron was extremely low until late in her pregnancy. “I spent a lot of days on the couch where all I wanted to do was sleep, but then I felt so guilty for the girls because I just didn’t have the

energy to play with them or do anything with them,” she said. “Since that problem has been ixed I have so much more energy and am so much happier, I just wish I knew sooner.” On the positive side, Ms Slattery said that she has enjoyed having the time at home to

play, cook, learn and have fun with her two daughters. “I feel I am lucky to be able to use this time to watch them grow and learn,” she said. Ms Slattery said that even though pandemic restrictions were now easing, she was “still worried about bringing a baby into the world

while COVID-19 is still such a big factor”. “As a family, we are doing everything we can to prevent the spread and that’s the best we can do for now,” she said. “We just have to stay hopeful that we will all stay happy and healthy and continue to do what we are doing.”

Surviving winter workouts As the days get shorter, the air gets chillier and the mornings frostier, it can be tempting to ditch your workout and sip cofee instead. Personal trainer heresa Prior shares some of the secrets that enable her to work outdoors, stay sane, warm and dry. First things irst. Once your feet are cold, that’s it! he rest of you is cold and it’s too hard to warm back up. So, to keep feet warm and dry, here are a few great ideas: Waterproof your shoes. Most shoe shops and outdoor adventure shops will stock waterprooing or water-repelling spray. Be sure to check the instructions before you use it, and apply it the night before. You’ll need to do it every week or so, but this one is a game changer. Invest in woollen socks. Merino socks will change your life. hey keep your feet warm and dry, and even if they do get wet, you stay warm. Have spares. If you’ve got errands to run ater your workout, have a spare pair of socks and shoes ready and waiting for you in the car. Yes, laundry increases in winter – it’s nothing to go through three or four pairs of socks in a day. But your feet will stay warm! Clothing choices can make or break how you feel about winter. here’s nothing better than a long walk outside in winter. And here’s what to do: • Wear layers. his is a tip picked up before hiking up the snow-covered Mt Feathertop as a 15 year-old and is as old as time. But honestly, wearing multiple layers that you can take of as you warm up during the workout, then put back on as we cool down is going to make things so much easier. hink singlet, T-shirt, long-sleeved T-shirt, vest, jumper. Even a pair of trackies over your leggings. • Fleecy leggings. We live in a truly magical time when one of our biggest active wear manufacturers has been cluey enough to produce workout tights designed for winter!

It’s important to wear the right clothing when exercising in winter. (James Stapledon, Staples Media)

• Fleecy stockings. Before the advent of leecy leggings, we used to wear a pair of leecy stockings under workout leggings. Lovely and warm, with no restriction to movement, these were a wardrobe staple for the winter months. Lastly, it’s the little things that will make the biggest diference. • Workout gloves. We all know ingers can physically hurt from the cold winter air, and from holding the cold, winter kettlebells! Invest

in a good pair of full length (not ingerless) workout gloves and it will change your life. Workout gloves are diferent to regular gloves in that they have a reinforced palm and grip on the inner face for holding onto and using equipment. • Headwear. Having cold ears is really uncomfortable and can make you feel colder than you really are. Grab yourself a buf (a thick headband that can be used as a scarf as well), a

beanie, or something in between and feel the diference! • Wear sunscreen. How counter-intuitive does this sound? But it’s actually not. Sunscreen will help prevent the negative afects that the cold, drier winter air can have on your skin. • Jackets. If you’ve layered well, you won’t need a pufy, down-illed jacket that will restrict your movements. But you may want to wear a thin, breathable spray jacket to keep you drier in the misty ‘spit’ that can sometimes roll through as the sun warms up the clouds. • Bring a bag. No one wants their phone or car key fob getting wet on the dewy grass. And there is nothing worse than putting back on a wet jumper ater it has been sitting on the ground. So, give yourself somewhere to put everything and to keep it all safe and dry. Even a sturdy, plastic bag will do here (great to reuse them!). • Do all this for the kids. In comparison to some other countries, and even some other states of Australia (ahem, Tasmania and ACT), we don’t really have a long or particularly cold winter. Rug the kids up, waterproof their shoes and help them enjoy being outdoors in the cooler weather so that you can still ind your workout time! here you have it. With these hacks, you’ll still be able to keep up your exercise routines. You’ll be thankful when you’re ahead of the game as the warmer months roll back around.
