$10m pier rebuild By Goya Dmytryshchack Altona Pier will undergo a $10 million redevelopment and locals are being asked to provide their input on the new design. hree options for the new pier are: • Replacing the pier to a similar layout and length; • A new T-shaped pier head, providing more space for recreational activities such as ishing; and • A new angled pier head (45 degrees) with shade and seating. Altona Pier was built in 1888 and was originally 149 metres longer, extending nearly 400 metres into Altona Bay. Its longer length was designed for its original purpose to transport potential land buyers by
steamship and later to transport people to and from the city. Signiicant repair works were carried out in the 1950s, but the government says the current structure is nearing the end of its functional life. Williamstown MP and Ports and Freight Minister Melissa Horne yesterday announced the redevelopment as part of a $24 million investment into the government’s Better Piers and Waterside Facilities program. “his work will create jobs for local workers, provide an economic injection to regional areas and see a long-term boost for the ishing, aquaculture and tourism industries as we rebuild from the coronavirus pandemic,” Ms Horne said. “his work will replace old infrastructure
with newer and safer facilities so they can be enjoyed for generations to come. “We understand how important these piers are to their local communities so it’s vital for us to address the needs of residents and pier users.” People can ill out an online survey until August 19. Two online community information sessions will be held on August 4 and 5. Under the government’s program, Portarlington Pier will also undergo a $9.6 million redevelopment and repairs and safety upgrades will be carried out at several other piers including Middle Brighton, Queensclif South and Rye.

Residents ight to save tree By Benjamin Millar West Footscray residents are ighting a last-ditch battle to save a beloved gum tree earmarked for destruction. Maribyrnong council recently posted a sign on the mature Rupert Street gum, indicating it will be removed next week. Asha Martin, who lives directly behind the tree, has spearheaded a campaign to save it from the chop. “In the last few days we’ve had 120 people sign a petition for the tree to be saved,” she said.
“hey are mostly in Rupert Street and the neighbouring street, people who walk past and say they love having it here.” Ms Martin said the tree is an important home for birdlife and provides valuable shade cover. “here aren’t many established trees in West Footscray, it’s just a real shame to see that the council wants it to be cut. hey haven’t given us much time either.” Maribyrnong council infrastructure services director Steve Hamilton said the tree is being removed for safety reasons. “Council’s tree management team regularly
monitors trees across the city to proactively identify and mitigate risks to help ensure community safety,” he said. “he team carried out a detailed assessment of two mature trees at Rupert Street, West Footscray and it revealed that one of these trees is deteriorating due to its structure and age. “he potential for falling limbs poses a risk to the safety of the community and as such the tree needs to be removed.” He said the council is committed to increasing canopy cover throughout the area and retaining mature trees where possible.

Seaplane, tourism are virus victims Hobsons Bay’s tourism industry is riding out the second lockdown in what is a tale of survival. Before COVID-19, the industry was estimated to generate $294 million annually in to the local economy. he global pandemic has impacted major tourism drawcards such as Melbourne Seaplanes, Williamstown Bay and River Cruises, Scienceworks, Seaworks maritime precinct, he Substation, HMAS Castlemaine, Melbourne Ballpark and the Newport Railway Workshops where Steamrail Victoria is based. Melbourne Seaplanes, owned by Barbara
and Brett Audas, is among those weathering the storm. “Besides Scienceworks and Seaworks, we’re one of the biggest attractions in Williamstown,” Ms Audas said. “I think poor little Williamstown is a bit of a ghost town at the moment … like everywhere.” While their business is grounded for sightseeing, it is still able to conduct “endorsements” or training for pilots to obtain a licence to ly a seaplane. “We spend a lot of time training the pilot in the oice – in our compound area at Williamstown – and then they do a lot of ‘touch and go’ lying to learn how to land in the water, to loat, and
to take of,” Ms Audas said. “here’s probably people sufering a lot more than we are – at least we can do endorsements – but if it goes on for too much longer it really is going to be a worry for us. “But we are keeping ourselves busy doing work on the compound where we keep our seaplane and also we’re redesigning a colour scheme for the seaplane at the moment. “We’ve been doing up our pontoon as well so it will all be nicely painted and ready to go hopefully when summer hits.”
Newly arrived migrants and refugees in Melbourne’s west will be given a sporting chance to improve community connections under a new Victoria University program. ‘Change Makers: Empowering sports to enhance social inclusion for migrants and refugees’, a two-year project, has been awarded a $330,000 federal government social inclusion grant as part of the Department of Health’s $19 million Driving Social Inclusion through Sport and Physical Activity program. he project recognises that Melbourne’s west, one of the most culturally diverse regions of Australia, has a very high proportion of migrants and refugees who are under-represented in sport. It will focus on a community-driven model developed by VU’s Sport Diversity and Social Change researchers Dr Brent McDonald, Dr Fiona McLachlan, Dr Carla Luguetti and Professor Ramón Spaaij. Dr McDonald said people who are newly arrived in Australia face a range of barriers to sporting participation, such as cost, transport, language issues, and lack of family support. “We are delighted our project that uses sport as a vehicle for social justice and social transformation in Melbourne’s west is part of the Australian government’s social inclusion program,” he said. “Migrant and refugee groups in the region will beneit through enhanced opportunities for participation and social connection in sport, as well as from the increased capability of community Change Makers to lead and assist in inclusion projects in their sports.” Benjamin Millar

Volunteers for the Rona Scrubs charitable organisation have spent months making scrub tops and pants for healthcare heroes on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. hey will be wrapping up at the end of July ater making more than 5000 scrub sets in about 12 weeks for workers across Australia. Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Brimbank, Wyndham, Melton, Moorabool and Whittlesea received some of the largest orders for scrubs in the country, with volunteers sewing about 1200 in total. Rona Scrubs founder Annabelle Parsons said the mission had been to ease some of the burden on workers during COVID-19 who had faced a shortage of fresh scrubs. “We have far exceeded our original
expectations from what started as an initial conversation over a glass of wine and Zoom to help a friend who was working on the frontline,” she said. Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay co-ordinator Ruth Morton collected scrubs made by volunteers who used patterns provided to sew tops and pants in their homes. “I’ve been co-ordinating the distribution of scrubs and the angels who have been sewing,” she said. “I think it’s a really, really good thing to do to help support and encourage the healthcare workers out there because they are going through a tough time.”

‘Skyzies’ squad rallies
Works to improve cycling links
By Goya Dmytryshchak People have rallied to raise funds for a Williamstown mother of three who spent her life helping women leeing domestic violence and is now battling a rare and aggressive cancer. Skye Hawkins, 45, said she was “ighting it” when she experienced mild pains beneath her ribs and visited her GP. Tests revealed a tumour on her pancreas and multiple secondary lesions on her liver. In April she was diagnosed with advanced neuroendocrine cancer.

Ms Hawkins said she was in absolute shock at the diagnosis, with the death of her father still very fresh: he had died in November from a diferent form of pancreatic cancer. Ms Hawkins, a inancial counsellor with WEstjustice community legal centre, supporting women who have just escaped family violence, has taken extended leave as she undergoes treatment. “It’s just trying to hopefully slow down the process,” she said. “When you have an aggressive cancer, it’s like having a freight train run through your body and irst of all you need to slow down the freight train before you can stop it.” A GoFundMe page titled ‘Skyzies Cheer Squad’ has been set up to support Ms Hawkins and her children, aged six, 22 and 25. Last week, nearly $13,000 had been raised within the irst two days.

Ms Hawkins said her diagnosis had driven home the need to value the simple things in life that she had, such as family and friends. “We all really, in the grand scheme of things, only have a blink of time here and just make the most of it,” she said. “Have fun, enjoy, be kind, be a good person.
“Life can just turn on its heels so quickly, and it does make you think about the relationships that you have and the people that you become connected with, and I think that’s partly a reason why this GoFundMe has done so well. “When you’ve got good people around you, your vibe attracts your tribe.”

Wetland sites up for protection By Goya Dmytryshchak hree Hobsons Bay environmental sites will be nominated for inclusion on the list of wetlands of international importance developed under the Ramsar convention.

Paisley-Challis Wetlands at Williamstown and the Laverton Creek estuary. “It could see these sites, which are under council management, recognised for their signiicant wetlands across the globe,” Cr Gates said.
“Ramsar recognition is a great opportunity to protect and showcase the signiicant environmental wetlands and waterways in Hobsons Bay. “hese areas are known for their distinct biodiversity, including as resting grounds for unique species of migratory birds.” he nominations form part of a review by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning of the Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar site.
he site is listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, named ater the small Iranian town of Ramsar where the signing took place in 1971. A council report states Ramsar listing could “limit recreational uses that have the potential to afect ecological character such as some water sports and dog of- and on-lead areas”. “hese uses would be restricted as they would disturb nesting shorebirds and impact intertidal vegetation and habitat,” the report states.
Toy swap keeps fun going Hobsons Bay Toy Library has expanded its collection to more 1400 items during lockdown, with membership efectively free during the COVID-19 pandemic. Committee member and mother of two, Daria Chang said due to fees being paused, new members could sign up to start using the service at no cost. he Newport and Laverton branches remain open for ‘click and collect’ borrowing. “We’ve decided to remain open so that those who want to use the service can still do so in a safe way,” Ms Chang said. “You’ve got up to four weeks to borrow the toys, play with them, and then when the kids get bored with them – because they always do – you can go get some new toys. “It’s age appropriate as well, so our toys range from [suitable for] three months to six years old.” Membership levels allow for people to borrow packs of three, six or nine toys.
Ms Chang said the library collection had expanded to include more outdoor toys to keep children entertained during lockdown. “Especially, if you can’t go to the park – you can’t go and play on the playground,” she said. “What I’ve personally loved about it is that I can borrow toys for the backyard so that my children can do some activities. “I’ve borrowed a basketball hoop and a ring tosser and things like that so that we’ll go out in the backyard … to get them outside and get them active.” Details: hobsonsbaytoylibrary.org.au/ click-collect Goya Dmytryshchak

Vale Marcus Gillespie
Comben master plan released
By Goya Dmytryshchak Spotswood Kingsville RSL stalwart Marcus Lee Gillespie has been remembered as a true gentleman who helped save the sub branch. he World War II veteran (19.10.24-10.7.20) died peacefully, aged 95, surrounded by loved ones and holding a photograph of his late wife, Pattie. He had served with the Australian Imperial Force in New Guinea and Bougainville from 1944-1946, with 2/4 Australian Armoured Regiment and the 13th Australian Small Ship Company. Spotswood Kingsville RSL president Glen Best said Mr Gillespie was instrumental in the club’s survival. “Marcus has been a stalwart member of the Spotswood Kingsville RSL and held positions as the president, secretary, treasurer and ‘Jack of all trades’,” he said. “His signiicant contributions over many years helped steer the club through some seriously tough times, including when a ire burnt the club to the ground, a point when only six members remained registered at the club, through the rebuilding process of the building and membership. “he SKRSL family will dearly miss his welcoming smile and genuine friendship.” Mr Gillespie’s daughter-in-law Josette Chapman said he was a devoted family man who lived for his loved ones and beloved RSL. “He was a very loving grandfather to his three grandchildren and ive great-grandchildren,” she said. “He was very close to his RSL club – that meant his whole life. Marcus loved going to the races, enjoyed a punt on the horses, and also loved going to Seagulls to meet his friends and have a little dabble on the pokies.

“He also loved to potter in the garden and proved to have a green inger as everything lourished in his backyard. “He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Hated people swearing or behaving badly, especially in front of women or children. “He would open the door for a lady and

A drat master plan has been released for Bruce Comben Reserve in Altona Meadows, to plan for a new $40 million Western Aquatic Centre and uses by sporting clubs and the community. he centre would include an eight-lane, 25-metre pool and smaller pools, wellness centre, gym, cafe and new childcare centre. As reported by Star Weekly, there was strong opposition to the proposed demolition of Cooraminta Children’s Centre to make way for the pool. Hobons Bay Cr Tony Brifa told last week’s council meeting there was also concern the master plan gave signiicant amounts of passive open space over to sporting clubs for their use. “hat impacts signiicantly on people that use this area for walking dogs and other uses; it signiicantly impacts a lot of residents,” Cr Brifa said. he reserve has three tenant clubs catering for about 1000 participants: Altona Roosters Rugby League Club, Seabrook Cricket Club and Westside Touch Association. More than 57,000 residents live within ive kilometres of the reserve and this number is expected to grow to more than 70,000 by 2036. he plan has been released for four weeks’ community consultation, including with residents from Wyndham.

Ratepayer Steve Bilston owns a factory in Williamstown where he tinkers around on vehicles. “Everybody’s been hit, there’s quite a few vacant factories around,” he said. “I repair my own vehicles, which I do sell occasionally but mostly hang on to. “I’ve had a reduced income since March and my factory rates are already double my residential rates. Now they want nine per cent more. It’s a hell of a lot. “he businesses can’t sustain it.”
Under the budget, the council is also proposing to increase commercial rates by 3.89 per cent and petrochemical rates by 1.14 per cent. he budget is based on an operational surplus of $25.3 million, which does not include a record $67.8 million in capital works. Mr Bilston said the council could put some capital works on hold. “We can put up with less capital works and help business get back on their feet,” he said. “We’re being cruciied.“ Budget submissions close 5pm Friday, July 24.

Masks through the ages By Goya Dmytryshchak Masks might come to symbolise 2020 but they have an intriguing history, as one can discover from Scienceworks’ Museum at Home. While the Spotswood venue remains closed, its Museum at Home and other virtual resources are keeping children and adults entertained and informed, particularly as many engage in home schooling during lockdown. A dive into the vaults of Museums Victoria has resulted in photos and stories of ‘10 peculiar and splendid masks’, showcasing masks through the ages. From the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun to dust masks worn by ireighters in the 2009 Black Saturday inferno, multiple masks and their purposes are featured. From the Museums Victoria collection emerge photos of a glamour mask by fashion designer Prue Acton and blizzard masks made in the 1950s in Richmond for Australian research expeditions to Antarctica. Other photos reveal masked men and costumed boys dressed up for entertainment at the Ballarat Gala Day in 1935. Wartime photos show gas masks worn by nurses standing in front of the 7th Australian General Hospital in Palestine during WWII and a British WWI small box respirator with haversack. Another shows a mask of a mask –the moulded and painted face mask of ventriloquist doll Gerry Gee. here are also cane masks from Papua New Guinea – some covering the whole body – that were used in initiation rituals. A timely addition that’s part of Museum at Home is called ‘Collecting the Curve’, a compilation of photos and stories capturing Victorian experiences of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Chief executive Lynley Crosswell said stories and items would continue to be shared in the weeks and months ahead as they were added to the “living” state collection. “Collecting the Curve will also include a series of spirited discussions that will present the virus and its impact from diferent viewpoints, ranging from prominent scientists and researchers to families experiencing forced quarantine,” she said. Museum at Home learning facilitator Marie Kinsey said the online platform contained articles, videos and activities for families and children to experience at home. Whether exploring gravity or how to make slime, educational resources are available for people to just watch or interact with online. he curriculum-aligned program aims to support teachers, students and families with content related to science, humanities and STEM. “We now have an educational page which has links to a virtual tour of our museum,” Ms Kinsey said. “So, you can travel through the Scienceworks’ space and take a look at some of the collections virtually and identify a few objects and ill out some questions or thoughts or discussions about what those objects are. “It’s an activity that both activates our space that we have, which unfortunately is closed at the moment but they can still interact with it. “Or, it takes some simple round-the-home things that you may have, such as the cornlour slime video … you just need a few ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen and … you can physically make something and explore some scientiic concepts of states Top: Masked men and costumed boys at the Ballarat Gala Day in 1935.

Feeling safe – in good times and bad Living through the pandemic has highlighted for many people how invaluable it is – or would be – to feel secure, and within the shared care of close community.
B
ernadette Reading, manager from Allswell’s Federation Village Werribee, meets more and more seniors who seek out security, even in the best of times – along with “that good old-fashioned relationship with their neighbours and local community”, as she puts it. That’s exactly what Federation Village is all about, as Bernadette explains. “Our residents have the opportunity to create lifelong friendships with like-minded people, while achieving retirement goals, all with the convenience of maintained community facilities. “We prioritise the health, safety and wellbeing of residents, clients, onsite teams and visitors.” Allswell’s Federation Village Werribee offers downsizers a choice of affordable pre-owned one and two-bedroom homes, and a pet-friendly environment. A residential land-lease community, it allows residents to own their own homes and pay a weekly site fee which contributes to the maintenance and improvement of the village facilities. The village is kept well maintained and supervised by full-time staff. “There’s plenty to do here,” Bernadette continues. “We have a clubhouse, the hub of activities and events, as well as a solar-heated pool, a gym, and a bowling green. It’s a great place to put down roots,
Security and friendship all under the one roof. (Supplied)
enjoy freedom and wellbeing, and make social connections as people head into their older years.” Bernadette says Federation Village is continuing with business as usual in coronavirus times. “Village tours and inspections of
pre-owned homes for sale will continue, but appointments are required. We follow COVID-19 Management guidelines, as issued by the Victorian government, so things are as safe as possible. “However, for people who don’t feel comfortable popping into the community,
we have implemented new technology. Just go to the website below and connect via a 3D tour.” Allswell Federation Village Werribee, 2A Railway Avenue, Werribee. Inquiries: 0414 483 045 or www.frv.com.au

he two powerplants work well with one another by courtesy of the computer. When you dial up the regenerative braking to full strength, the bulk of the driving can be done by simply modulating the accelerator pedal – you only ever need to prod the brakes when coming to a complete halt.

Inside the 2020 Ioniq there’s a revised dashboard intended to give it a more upmarket look and feel. It has premium sot-touch inishes, as well as ambient lighting in the Premium and Electric versions.
50s a couple of times so the 63km isn’t far from the maker’s claim. he Ioniq has a prestige feel that is as good as conventional prestige European cars. he interior is spacious with good legroom in all seats. he centre rear is on the squeezy side when three are being carried. Handling is very good with a nice feeling through the steering and good response. he virtually instant response of the powertrain gives you that added feel of being completely in control at all times. Road noise is generally well subdued though, as usual, the concrete surface of the M1 did increase sound levels. We’ve heard a lot worse, though. Coarse chip country roads are handled without too much fuss.
