Lockdown could return Tate Papworth Premier Daniel Andrews has threatened to impose a stay at home order on virus hotspots. Last week Keilor Downs, Sunshine West and Albanvale were identiied by the government as areas with growing outbreaks. With a further 49 cases detected across the state on Sunday, the Premier warned a return to tighter restrictions may be needed. “If we have to further limit movement in some of those suburbs, for instance a stay at home order much like we all as a community had to endure for what felt like the longest of times, if that is deemed the appropriate public health response, then that is what we will do,” Mr Andrews said. As of Sunday night there were 29 active cases within the municipality, taking Brimbank’s all time total to 111, second only to Hume (118). One of Sunday’s cases was a close contact of a known case in the Brimbank family outbreak, taking that total to six, while a new case was linked to the outbreak at the Coles Chilled Distribution Centre in Laverton, taking the total to four. he cases at Coles are part of the Keilor Downs family outbreak, which has 21 identiied cases. In a bid to quell the spread of the virus across the three hotspot suburbs, the government launched a testing blitz last week. he blitz continued over the weekend, with testers going door-to-door testing residents, regardless of whether they are showing symptoms. Over 40,000 tests were carried out over the weekend and while Mr Andrews said the number of positive tests was “concerning”, the country’s deputy chief medical oicer Michael Kidd stopped short of calling it a second wave. “As expected, this widespread testing continues to identify further cases and this is allowing us to identify those who are infected and to follow their contacts in order to move rapidly to contain the outbreak.” “What we are seeing happening in Victoria is exactly what was planned when we have outbreaks occurring across the country with the immediate increase in the testing, the activation of the contact tracing to identify individuals who have been in contact with infected people and the very rapid action to get people into isolation and quarantine.”

COVID-19 testing has been set up at Melbourne Showgrounds as part of a testing blitz. (Damjan Janevski) 210340_08

Councillor calls in inspectorate By Tate Papworth he Local Government Inspectorate is assessing a complaint made againt Brimbank mayor Georgina Papafotiou. Cr Virginia Tachos lodged the complaint with the inspectorate recently. Cr Tachos declined to comment, but sources close to the council have told Star Weekly that a number of incidents were reported to the inspectorate. he source said that the tipping point came ater the mayor allegedly directed Cr Tachos

to immediately get a COVID-19 test ater she was seen out in the public, promoting local businesses in St Albans. Cr Tachos subsequently missed a special council meeting that evening and has not returned to council since. Star Weekly understands she’s unlikely to return. Acting Chief Municipal Inspector Dr John Lynch conirmed the inspectorate was assessing the complaint. Cr John Hedditch was also absent from the council’s June meeting and is believed to be disgruntled with his treatment within council.

he allegations prompted Cr Papafotiou to make a statement at a recent council meeting, defending her leadership. “I personally know what it is like to be a victim and feel unsafe. I know what intimidation looks like. I know what fear and loathing looks like and I know how it afects and hurts people,” Cr Papafotiou said. “But I also know when to say enough is enough and when to move on.” Cr Papafotiou made it clear she intended to ight any claims against her. “I can tell you now that the actions of some,

Big screen returning soon Film lovers will need to wait a little longer to catch a movie on the big screen at Sunshine as a result of tightened COVID-19 restrictions. Village Cinemas had planned to reopen its Plenty Valley and Sunshine cinemas on July 2, with up to 50 patrons in each space. But on June 21, Premier Daniel Andrews announced that cinemas would only be able to welcome 20 people per theatre until July 12 in response to a recent surge in coronavirus cases. he announcement meant Village Cinemas decided to postpone the Sunshine reopening. In a statement, Village Cinemas said the

however hurtful, misdirected, and destructive they might be … will not distract me from my work,” Cr Papafotiou said. “Rather, those acts of distraction and subversion only strengthen me to call them out, to keep going and, where appropriate, to push back. “here is simply no place for this type of behavior and attitude. “Wherever necessary, we will co-ordinate with integrity bodies to ensure that any inappropriate behaviour is investigated and prosecuted.”

decision was in the best interest of customers. “Ater closing its doors on March 23, 2020 has been a challenging year for Village Cinemas and its loyal staf base. Village Cinemas is committed to providing movie-lovers with a safe and quality social experience,” the statement said. Village Entertainment chief executive Kirk Edwards said Village Cinemas would implement several new health and safety measures once its theatres reopened. Social distancing measures will be enforced within foyers, restrooms and inside cinema auditoriums, with health and safety signage

marking 1.5-metre distances and hand sanitiser available. Audience capacities will be reduced, with seating to be allocated to allow for every second row to be vacant and a two-seat gap on either side of each group of cinema-goers. Guests will be encouraged to pre-purchase their tickets and candy bar items online and cash payments will not be accepted at the candy bar or ticket box.

A new recycling campaign is aimed at cleaning up the way residents recycle. he Recycle Right campaign aims to help and increase awareness about what goes in recycling bins. he program is led by Sustainability Victoria and supported by local councils, including Brimbank. he council said two thirds of Victorians say they need help to understand what can go into their recycling bins. Brimbank mayor Georgina Papafotiou said it was an easy thing to get on top of. “While we are spending more time at home, many people are probably cooking more, ordering things online and receiving more deliveries than usual. his means you’re also probably ending up with a lot more waste than you normally have,” Cr Papafotiou said. “If you’re also like a lot of people, you might ind yourself and members of your household wondering which is the right bin to put everything in? “Tips include the scrunch test – which is as simple as putting a piece of plastic in your hand. If you can scrunch the plastic, then it does not go in the recycling bin.” Sot plastics, like shopping, bread and pasta bags, may be recycled through programs at many supermarkets, or you can put them in landill. Food waste goes in your compost bin if you have one, or in the landill bin. If you don’t have a compost bin you can get a $50 discount on a new compost bin through the council. You can search for speciic items and ind out which bin they belong in by visiting recycling.vic.gov.au Tate Papworth

Law irm Slater and Gordon is continuing to investigate the possibility of a class action over the closed Sunshine landills. Earlier this year Star Weekly revealed that a number of properties built on and around the closed Sunshine landills are sitting on buried waste and are being exposed to methane gas. he properties in question are located on Denton Avenue, Karen Place and Toora Court. Brimbank council recently wrote to impacted residents advising them of public exhibition

to environmental audits and approvals for the properties, are matters that we are considering closely in our investigation.” he council was also due to begin drilling works to install landill gas bores in Carrington Drive Reserve. heir installation will increase monitoring of landill contaminants as part of the council’s ongoing assessment of risk and management of the landill issues. Ms Blencowe said the anticipated works were also cause for investigation. “We will be writing to residents and owners shortly with an update on our investigation and invite locals

to contact us with any information that they believe may be relevant to potential claims.” Denton Avenue resident Brook Batty said lines of communication to her had gone quiet. “I haven’t heard anything from the council and I know a few people have let messages and never heard back,” Ms Batty said. “I’m not sure how this overlay impacts me. A little while ago the boundary line was at my back fence, now it’s at my front fence, covering my entire property. “I don’t know if I would have to get someone in to assess the land for something as simple as putting in a new front fence.”

Help for neighbours connectivity, so that participants can continue with their socially-distanced educational and language programs. Melbourne Airport chief executive Lyell Strambi said he was pleased to provide support local community houses, especially during COVID-19. “We are proud to announce the successful recipients of our community grants program for another year, continuing our support for the local community,” he said. “Being able to help fund services that community members can readily access and which are supportive of the airport’s surrounding communities is why we developed the community grants program. “We have now awarded a total of $200,000 to Neighbourhood Houses over the past two years and are pleased to see the programs having real impacts within communities.”

A number of western suburbs neighbourhood houses have been given a helping hand to boost their programs. Melbourne Airport last week announced the successful recipients of the second round of its Community Grants, awarding $100,000 across 10 local projects run by Neighbourhood Houses. he projects include mentoring and English-language programs for refugees, employment pathway programs for those re-entering the workforce and study group programs for young people and their families. Sunshine’s Duke Street House was awarded a grant for its breaking digital barriers program. he initiative will provide a no-cost IT device borrowing service for identiied members of the Sunshine community who face cultural, linguistic, inancial, social and physical barriers to accessing technology.

Cash splash for pool By Tate Papworth Brimbank council will push ahead with plans to rebuild the St Albans Leisure Centre despite the signiicant impact COVID-19 has had on the economy. At its recent meeting, councillors awarded a $55.1 million contract to demolish the centre and build a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing hub. he debate was conducted conidentially and away from public eyes. While the state government chipped in $2 million funding towards the hub last week, the entire project will cost more than $60 million, which will be funded by ratepayers. A massive $28.78 million of the council’s $36.4 million capital works budget for 2020-21 will be put towards the hub. Mayor Georgina Papafotiou defended the move to push ahead with the project. “his investment and this infrastructure is an essential part of COVID-19 support and recovery for our community to ensure that we can rebound from the pandemic efectively,” she said. “he project is shovel ready, will create approximately 100 jobs during construction, 120 ongoing jobs once operational, and provide a range of vital health, wellbeing, social, educational and support services … that our community will need to help us during the COVID-19 recovery phase. “he St Albans Health and Wellbeing Hub is strategically placed to become a COVID-19 Support and Recovery Centre for Melbourne’s west.” While the pandemic has caused many major projects across the state to be amended, altered or downsized, Cr Papafotiou said the health and wellbeing hub would be built as planned. “Council’s due diligence and community engagement in relation to this project over

Where the money goes This year, 58 per cent of residential properties in Brimbank will have an increase at or below the rate cap of 2 per cent. So what will you be charged for?

Revenue increase It is proposed that total general rates and charges revenue increase by 2 per cent for 2020-21, raising total rates income of $167.6 million. The council says the increase will go toward maintaining service levels and meeting the cost of a number of external inluences affecting the operating budget.

well as how to pitch and promote programs to target audiences,” Cr Papafotiou said. Participants will produce a minimum of 30 hours of content during the week. Program participant, Adongwot Manyoul said it’s been an enriching experience. “he Brimbank Live Radio project has been a fantastic opportunity to build my media skills as well as giving me a platform to produce stories that matter to me, to my community, and to the world at large,” Ms Manyoul said.

WRFL cancels season

Unlocking the key to itness

By Ewen McRae here will be no senior football played in the Western Region Football League this season, with the board putting a line through 2020 last week. he board announced that all seniors, reserves and under 18.5 men’s and women’s competitions would not go ahead this year, with too many clubs expressing reservations about returning to play. he league said that concerns had been growing from clubs in recent weeks, with a signiicant majority of senior clubs conceding that their longer-term viability would be best served by not competing in a senior premiership season. Other primary concerns raised by senior clubs included the health and safety of members and patrons and the inability to efectively manage crowds to comply with current social distancing rules and crowd restrictions at open public reserves. he league still plans to run a junior football season, as well as a netball season, kicking of on July 26. League chief executive Matthew Duck said ensuring all clubs survived the current pandemic and were in good shape for 2021 and beyond was their top priority. “he WRFL has maintained a view throughout this process that 34 clubs went into 2020, and we need to do whatever we can to ensure 34 clubs come out,” Duck said. “Clubs expressed concerns about their inancials, older volunteers, crowd restrictions and an overall inability to manage crowds at open public spaces.” he league said it was open to exploring club interest in a shortened, more informal opt-in/opt-out ofering should circumstances allow later this year.

New research from Victoria University conirms that when it comes to developing a successful exercise routine, doing something that feels good makes all the diference. he peer-reviewed research, co-authored by Associate Professor Melinda Craike and Matthew Bourke, sheds light on how to get the most pleasure out of being physically active. Mr Bourke said the research conirms what many have long suspected. “We’re more likely to stay motivated and get results if we participate in any kind of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity if it makes us feel good,” he said. he research highlights that people are likely to achieve better results if they focus on external stimuli rather than bodily sensations. It contends that admiring a great view on a jog or listening to music helps distracts us from focusing on fatigue or discomfort. he researchers say it is estimated that more than 42 per cent of adults globally, fail to achieve the recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. As part of the study, the authors reviewed more than 2800 studies and found 44 research papers which showed that when people participate in a physical activity they enjoy, or ind fun, they have a far more pleasurable experience, and were signiicantly more likely to take part in regular exercise.

As a Council, we always strive to do what’s best for our community, and this year, that meant taking into account the hardship many residents have experienced as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. This draft budget shows our response to current circumstances by balancing the delivery of high quality services and facilities with the need to minimise the cost to ratepayers.

While keeping costs to a minimum for ratepayers, Council is still planning to deliver a significant capital works program worth $105.6 million including: • buildings ($44.6 million) • road upgrades ($31.9 million) • leisure and community facilities ($18.5 million)

• footpaths and cycle-ways ($1.3 million) • street tree planting program ($550,000) • library books ($518,000) • public art ($200,000) • street lighting improvement program ($150,000) Some highlights include: • construction of Eynesbury Station Early Learning Centre • extension of the Caroline Springs Community Facility • construction of Boundary Road from Mount Cottrell Road to Outer Metropolitan Ring Road • extension of Taylors Hill Youth and Community Centre • continued works to develop the Cobblebank Indoor Stadium

• Installation of traffic lights at a number of major intersections • and expansion of the Melton Recycling Facility Council’s 2020/21 Draft Budget is open for community feedback until 5pm on Wednesday 22 July. To view the budget and have your say, visit melton.vic.gov.au/draftbudget or contact Customer Service to make an appointment to view display copies at the Civic Centre or libraries. Submissions will be considered at a Section 223 Committee meeting at 7pm on Thursday 6 August via videoconference. Council will consider adopting the 2020/21 Budget at a livestreamed meeting on Monday 31 August.

Coburn Ward with Cr Bob Turner These past few months have certainly been very challenging. COVID-19 has changed our lives in many ways, and it’s vital that as a community, we continue to pull together, follow social distancing protocols, and take care of each other, so everyone remains safe and healthy. Construction on the new six-court indoor sports stadium in Cobblebank – the largest value project ever undertaken by Melton City Council – is well underway. This exciting $31 million facility is scheduled to open late next year, and will provide residents with access to a

range of sports including basketball, netball and futsal—going a long way to meeting the increasing demand for sporting facilities in our fast-growing community.

Putting food scraps in your green bin means more organic waste can be diverted from landfill, and turned into valuable compost for use in gardens, parks and farms.

To find out more about what this outstanding project will deliver, visit melton.vic.gov.au/ cobblebankstadium

As part of the project, we’re also offering a limited number of free FOGO kitchen caddies to eligible households. To find out more, visit melton.vic.gov.au/FOGO

Another exciting Council initiative commencing on 1 July is our new FOGO (Food Organics. Garden Organics.) service, which enables residents to dispose of food scraps, along with garden waste, in their Council green bin.

I am available to meet with residents most Saturday mornings from 9am, by appointment. Please contact Barb McKenzie on 9747 7200 to book a time, or contact me on 0412 584 224 or bob.turner@melton.vic.gov.au

By Tate Papworth he COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire community, few more so than Burnside mum Fran homas. Ms homasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daughter Casey has Down syndrome, epilepsy and a moderate intellectual disability. When restrictions came in, the doting mother worried about how her daughter would be able continue to work towards her goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When COVID-19 hit I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how are we going to continue to work towards Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals when we are so restricted in what we can do, and where we can goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immediately, I contacted Interact Australia (her chosen provider) and organised a meeting with all four of Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular support workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;hey have all worked with her for years. hey know her likes and dislikes, and what she is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capable of, so we all met to discuss what alternative activities we could put in place so Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals would stay on track so she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regress.â&#x20AC;? With a bit of creativity and imagination, they came up with an alternative daily routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also involved Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s therapists so she had a whole new home-based program to work on, which kept her moving forward,â&#x20AC;? Ms homas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casey hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used her iPad for online therapies before so we thought a good irst step was to introduce her to Skype to get her familiar and comfortable with using it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she irst saw her friends pop up on her iPad, right in front of her, you should have seen her reaction. It was priceless.â&#x20AC;?

Brimbank council wants the Victorian government to help it assess a maligned stretch of road in St Albans. At a recent meeting, Cr Duyen Anh Pham requested that the council write to the governemnt requesting an urgent assessment of pedestrian and road safety along Main Road East, St Albans. he stretch of road in question is between St Albans Road and Stradbroke Drive. he motion also called for the implementation of safety treatments to address any identiied issues. Cr Pham said community concerns had prompted her motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;here are a number of pedestrian and road safety concerns around Main Road East,â&#x20AC;? Cr Pham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In particular, concerns have been raised with the entrance and exit of Woolworths carpark, where many near misses occur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not withstanding Woolworths has undertaken a number of road safety initiatives, there are still concerns.â&#x20AC;? Cr Pham said that a mix of speed zones along the stretch added to the confusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a speed zone issue â&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short 60km speed zone stretch between the 40km speed zone at the shopping centre stretch.â&#x20AC;?

Residents of three postcodes located in Melbourne’s west are among the areas facing the highest mortgage stress in the nation, according to a new report. Research and consulting irm Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) has released its mortgage stress data for May, which ranked the 3037 postcode (which includes Delahey, Hillside and Sydenham) as experiencing the second-highest amount of mortgage stress in Australia. he 3030 postcode (Werribee, Werribee

According to the report, about 1.4 million households across the nation were experiencing mortgage stress in May – equating to 37.5 per cent of all households in Australia. In contrast, the report stated 38 per cent

of households experienced mortgage stress during April. he report stated that between April and May, some households found relief through the federal government’s JobKeeper payments, returning to work post-pandemic or reinancing to a lower mortgage repayment rate. Last month, Uniting Vic.Tas emergency relief lead Cathryn Ryan told Star Weekly that increasing numbers of people who had lost their jobs due to COVID-19 were seeking emergency assistance.

Green waste ready to go Melton residents can now do even more to help the environment, with a new initiative in kerbside bins helping to reduce waste. his week marks the start of Melton council’s FOGO (Food Organics. Garden Organics) initiative, which allows residents to dispose of food and garden waste in green bins for kerbside collection. Under FOGO, loose (not bagged) fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, meat, bones, ofcuts and letovers will all be accepted into the green bin, in addition to the already accepted garden waste such as grass clippings, branches and weeds. It is hoped that household waste sent to landill will be halved under this plan. Melton mayor Lara Carli encouraged residents to start using their green bin for food scraps and to order a green bin if needed. “Diverting household food scraps from landill will help halve the amount of waste we

send to landill. his will have a positive and lasting impact on the environment,” she said. “Simply throwing our food scraps and garden clippings into the green bin is an easy step towards a greener future. “We’ll not only be reducing greenhouse gas emissions and relieving pressure on landill space, we’ll also be helping to create compost that gives back to the earth.” Food scraps in plastic bags will not be accepted, so residents must ensure that any food waste is loose in the bin. Households with green bins can apply for a free kitchen caddy (limited supply) from July 1, while those without a green bin can call council to order one.

Heart of the matter

Water bills to remain steady

By Ewen McRae Heart surgery can be stressful at the best of times, but surgery during a pandemic creates a whole new range of headaches. Melton man Kevin McCarthy, 70, faced exactly that back in March, when his doctors discovered a faulty valve in his heart that had been there since birth. He was quickly booked in for an aortic valve replacement before hospitals closed elective surgeries. It was a discovery that almost lay dormant. “I was booked in for some other tests, and my doctor decided to do a stress echo test as well, which showed the faulty valve,” Mr McCarthy said. “hey told me something like this generally becomes an issue in men around the age of 50-55, so I got well past that. “hey found it on March 17, and the operation took place on the 30th. hey weren’t sure what the outcome would be if I had to wait because of the pandemic.” Following the surgery, Mr McCarthy had to undertake all his rehab remotely through Medibank’s Heart Health at Home program which conducted appointments with nurses and mapped out his progress and recovery. Already a it man before the surgery, he said the ability to slowly build his way back to full health while taking less risks during the pandemic was crucially important. “It’s all about itness, you’ve just got to get that back,” he said. “Doing appointments with nurses over the phone was obviously a much better way of doing it, being able to keep social distancing while also letting the nurses track my progress was important for my recovery. “I was initially able to do a walk around

I’m now walking ive kilometres twice a day, lat out. “I’ve been a long-time swimmer and have just got back into that as well which is fantastic.” Mr McCarthy said there was a simple message out of his experience, as his health and wellbeing improves.

“I’m deinitely doing things much easier,” he said. “I’m not puing. I guess the warning I’d say is that I just ignored things because it built up gradually, and I didn’t pay attention to my body. “he message I’d say to people, especially older men, is don’t put it of and get yourself checked out if you feel something.”

Households doing it tough are set to receive some welcome relief with their water bills. Western Water will keep water prices stable for the coming year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Western Water managing director, Jef Rigby said Western Water had undertaken extensive engagement with customers over the past two years to review how they charge and how much they charge. “In response to customer feedback, we are reducing our ixed services charges, so customers have greater opportunity to reduce the size of their bill if they can use less water,” Mr Rigby said. “Keeping bills afordable, encouraging customers to save water, and planning for growth were key considerations for our pricing submission to the Commission.” But Western Water will apply a small increase to the Tier 3 water usage rate. his rate applies to residential customers using more than 880 litres per day. Mr Rigby said a number of other measures were in place to help those impacted by COVID-19. “Western Water is well aware of the inancial impact of the coronavirus pandemic on many customers. We will continue to ofer the wide range of support measures already in place, and we can conirm that the only increase to typical water bills on 1 July 2020 will be to relect the cost of inlation.” Tate Papworth

Australia-first health & wellbeing hub on track In a major boost for the local community and businesses, Brimbank City Council has resolved to award a $55.1 million contract to demolish the tired, old St Albans Leisure Centre and build a state-of-theart health and wellbeing hub boasting a 50 metre 10 lane swimming pool, two massive water slides, wellness centre, community program room and more.

of-the-art aquatic and leisure centre, as well as a range of preventative health, education and social services delivered by co-located tenant partners CommUnity Plus Services Ltd and Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand under the one roof.

Dating with a difference he dating scene has been looking quite diferent in recent months thanks to coronavirus shutdown measures. While restrictions are starting to ease, we still need to adhere to social distancing guidelines – but that doesn’t mean date night has to fall by the wayside. With a little creativity, you can still organise surprising dates, whether you’re physically together or connecting from afar.

A ride for two If you’re looking for a safe, convenient and fun way to explore the city, jump on an e-scooter! Now that restrictions are liting, you and your special someone can take advantage of being outside by riding around town together. Not only will you have a good time, but e-scooters are a great way to travel while still practicing social distancing. New research from e-scooter operator Neuron revealed that over 90 per cent of people regard public transport, taxis and ridesharing as medium or high risk of catching COVID-19, while 82 per cent said e-scooters are low risk.

Virtual tours Although theatres, art centres and other attractions have been forced to close during coronavirus, many venues have created virtual tours that can be accessed online. he best part is that you can even pay a virtual visit to venues around the world, including the Louvre or the Sistine Chapel, from the comfort of your home. You can also use Google Arts & Culture’s Street View feature to see the view from the top of the Eifel Tower, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art or explore the Guggenheim Museum.
