Face masks lead revival An Altona business that was crippled by the COVID-19 crisis is now working overtime to fulil mask orders. Elle & Stuart owner Maureen Bourke said she had received hundreds of orders as masks became mandatory in public last Thursday. “By the start of the irst lockdown, we were in awful trouble because a lot of the business is bridal alterations and clothing alterations,” she said. “We were down 83 per cent.” Masks changed everything. “I’ve been able to employ somebody and my husband’s also here doing all the admin … we’re really, really under the pump to get everything out,” Ms Bourke said. “They’re selling out very, very quickly. I think we’ve had about 600 orders … but people may be ordering 10 pieces. “We’ve done 14 days straight, 10 hours-plus a day. “You’ve just got to keep moving. “We’re about six weeks away from turning 10 so there’s no way we won’t be there for it. “We will be there at the end of this whole horrible situation.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Rates freeze approved By Benjamin Millar Maribyrnong ratepayers have received a rare rate rise reprieve ater councillors voted to freeze property rates at existing levels. Maribyrnong council’s drat 2020-21 budget had lagged the possibility of adopting the maximum two per cent rate rise permitted by the state government this year, redistributing the $1.9 million in extra income to the ratepayers hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. But councillors last week opted to keep rates on hold at existing levels in recognition of the widespread impact of the pandemic.
he decision to freeze rate revenue in 2020-21 will cost the council close to $20 million in foregone income over the next decade. But Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter said the decision was based on community feedback and the right thing to do in the unprecedented circumstances. She said the council had initially proposed to quarantine the additional $1.9 million that would have been raised for those most in need, but knows that all residents and businesses are inding times tough. “he thing that’s really clear to us, that came through strongly, is whether you’ve lost your
job, whether your hours have been decreased, whether you’ve had to shut a small business or whether you’ve had to outlay money to school your kids at home, everyone is doing it really really tough,” she said. “We know that, we hear that, so council has decided for the irst time in history, as far as I can remember, not to take up the rate increase.” he annual budget of $149.7 million will include $2.5 million spending on support packages for residents and businesses facing inancial hardship due to the pandemic. he Pensioner Rate Rebate Scheme will increase by two per cent, from $194.30 to $198.20.
Cr Carter said the council is still planning a “stimulus budget” that includes moving forward with the RecWest Footscray redevelopment, Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre upgrade design and an action plan for the NeXt Project redevelopment of the Footscray Library site. he council will also spend $12.7 million to improve roads, $12.5 on parks, open space and streetscapes, $3 million on footpaths and cycle ways and $1.8 million for recreational, leisure and community facilities. Other spending includes a new $300,000 Community Arts Grants Program for projects run by local arts organisations.

Meatworks clusters drive cases By Benjamin Millar and Goya Dmytryshchak Health authorities are struggling to keep a lid on coronavirus cases spreading through inner-west meat processing plants as the number of overall cases in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay tops 200 for the irst time. he Somerville Retail Services cluster in Tottenham had grown to 90 cases by Sunday and a further 69 cases have been linked to JBS in Brooklyn. A new cluster linked with Diamond Valley
Pork in Laverton North has also been detected, reaching six cases by Sunday. Ten cases have been linked to StarTrack in Laverton and three to Sims Metal Management in Brooklyn. A Hobsons Bay council worker has tested positive to COVID-19 and cases have been linked to ive new aged care facilities including Japara Yarra West in Yarraville. Sacca’s Fine Foods at Altona Gate shopping centre in Altona North reopened on Friday ater conirming no new positive cases from any staf members. Maribyrnong had climbed to 128 active cases
by Sunday and a total of 220. Hobsons Bay had 76 active cases, of a total 139. Neighbouring Brimbank has become the state’s worst coronavirus hotspot with 515 active cases, followed by Wyndham with 476. Victoria’s total number of cases hit 8181 on Sunday, including 4233 active cases – by far the majority of Australia’s current total. he death toll rose to 71 and more deaths are expected as the virus takes hold in a number of aged care facilities, with 560 active cases linked to a string of settings.

Students embrace covid changes Masks are now part of the school uniform. Williamstown High School students last hursday wore their masks en masse as their use was mandated. Pasco campus principal Adam Potter said he was proud of the students who had adapted to challenging times. “All of our students who are onsite, so our VCE and VCAL students and also our year 10 students who are coming onsite for VCE classes, are required to wear masks,” he said. “hat’s to and from school and also whilst
they’re at school. I must commend our students: Day one … when we were out doing the temperature testing, as we do each morning, all of our students were wearing masks. “hat was really pleasing and it’s just a small way that everyone in our school community can play their part to ensure that we maintain the health and safety of everyone.” Mr Potter said a number of students and staf had opted to wear masks before they were mandated. “A lot of students have decided to bring their
own masks, which has been great,” he said. “here are diferent versions of masks that are all appropriate for the students to be wearing. “I’ve been really pleased with the approach of our VCE and VCAL students. “In the irst two weeks back, I think the way that they’ve handled everything in terms of the temperature testing and now the mandatory wearing of masks and also focusing on their studies … their eforts have been amazing.”
Uniting AgeWell will continue delivering in-home care for the aged and people under 65 with disabilities in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay ater a positive review of the irst six months of the outsourced service. Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay councils last year sub-contracted Uniting AgeWell to deliver high volume Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and Home and Community Care for Younger People (HACC PYP) services until June 30 this year. he Australian Services Union argued at the time that its members strongly opposed the outsourcing of the services. But a consultant reviewing the arrangements for Maribyrnong council found all staf had been ofered employment with Uniting AgeWell and 88 per cent had transferred across. A report to last week’s council meeting said the evaluation of the subcontracted arrangements found “a high level of conidence” with the services and high levels of client satisfaction among the 750 Maribyrnong area clients. “UAW are also proving to be a collaborative agency partner in planning the future of positive ageing and supports to our older community,” it stated. “he evaluation shows that there is a high level of conidence in UAW, and that the key transition principles have been achieved. he level of oversight that the sub-contracting arrangement has provided is no longer required.” Maribyrnong council had originally intended for Uniting AgeWell to move to a direct contract with the federal government from this month, but the coronavirus crisis has forced it to continue to manage the sub-contracted service for the rest of the year.

Demand for homelessness services to grow Pressure on already strained inner-west homelessness services is expected to grow as the COVID-19 crisis pushes up family violence rates and sends more residents into poverty. Housing service Unison Housing had already seen a 21 per cent increase in clients at its Seddon and Werribee oices prior to the pandemic, including 2011 households who had presented at Seddon on 7520 occasions in the past two years. Family violence was one of the biggest drivers of people seeking assistance, identiied by 1267 clients. Signiicant demand for social housing was also a factor, with 4324 people in
the inner west region among the 41,677 people waiting for access to social housing in Victoria as of March last year. Other leading causes of homelessness included poverty, unafordable housing, mental health issues and released prisoners having diicultly securing housing. Maribyrnong council has responded to the growing problem by developing a new ‘Homelessness Protocol’. he plan aims to help link people experiencing or at risk of homelessness with housing and support. A report to last week’s council meeting
noted that homelessness and the demand for social housing is a signiicant problem in Maribyrnong and across the western suburbs. “he aim of the protocol is to provide information to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, whereby they can access housing and support,” it stated. he council will also monitor the extent and type of homelessness in Maribyrnong and the western region and advocate for increased investment in homelessness services and social housing. he protocol will be triggered by anyone
contacting the council noting they are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or council oicers become aware of a person sleeping in a public space such as a park, street, car or community facility. he council will also take part in the Homeless Street Count 2020, which will highlight the number of people sleeping rough in the area. he count has been delayed until late in 2020 or early in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mayor Colleen Gates said the stations allowed two vehicles to charge at once. “Access to local EV charging points is important for Hobsons Bay,” she said. “Not only will it help prepare for the increase in these types of vehicles across Melbourne and
Victoria over the next ive years, it will also put us on the map to attract more visitors to Hobsons Bay.” he stations can take three to four hours to fully power a vehicle. hey are free to use for a trial period and are a step towards the council’s aims to achieve zero net emissions by 2030. he move follows an eight-year push by residents such as Williamstown’s Jef Challis, who provides an electric vehicle charger to the public at his Yarraville business.

he RecWest building on Essex Street was built in 1953 on top of a former landill and the contaminated site will require remediation as part of any redevelopment.
A report to last week’s Maribyrnong council meeting noted that a 2018 feasibility study determined that the current facility was no longer it for purpose, at the end of its useful life and required replacement. “he adjacent Shorten Reserve, Barrett Reserve and nearby Johnson Reserve also presented an opportunity to develop a master plan across the three sites to accommodate the leisure and sport needs of a growing population,” it stated. Concern was raised relating to the increase in traic around neighbouring residential streets, but an independent traic report highlighted that surrounding roads will not exceed capacity based on the master plan designs.
he report indicated that stakeholder and community feedback had been incorporated into the inal drat. his included the removal of fencing from the outdoor area directly adjacent to the RecWest facility, allowing for use by both the Scouts group and the community. he oval surface will be upgraded and relevelled, and cricket nets will be redesigned to be used for multiple sports. Mature and signiicant trees will be maintained and more than 100 new trees will be planted. he report stated that the plans provide a net increase in open space for non-sporting uses and leisure pursuits.

Making masks for the vulnerable he Vietnamese Association in Hobsons Bay has made about 4000 masks to give to vulnerable members of the community, including residents in Williamstown’s Nelson Heights and Floyd Lodge public housing lats. President Myly Nguyen, whose mother was recently in hard lockdown in the North Melbourne towers, said members had reached out to help others afected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “To me, if you’re able to make a mask, if you’re able to distribute or help in your neighbourhood, that’s good,” Ms Nguyen said. “If you can help those ones who need it the most. “Quite a lot of seniors can’t aford it and they
can’t go to the shop and buy – queuing up. “If you’re able to make it and share it amongst your neighbours – a lot of elderly, a lot of seniors are by themselves at home. “If you’re able pitch in a bit and do a little bit extra, that would help. I think during this crisis, just help each other.” Masks have also been distributed to Altona-based homelessness service Latitude and other community outlets. Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates said the council had partnered with the Vietnamese association, housing providers, local emergency support organisations and others following tower lockdowns in other parts of Melbourne. “We are very grateful to the Vietnamese
association for their generosity and the hours of work to crat so many much-needed cloth face masks, which are inding their way to the residents of Nelson Heights and Floyd Lodge. “Hobsons Bay is providing support to vulnerable members of our community through various programs and services, and I want to remind people to please reach out to us if in need of assistance.” Hobsons Bay community groups and residents, including tradespeople who need masks for their jobs, can request masks by emailing vietnameseinhobsonsbay@gmail. com or calling 0432 225 950.
A former registrar from the Werribee Magistrates Court has been sentenced to more than two years in jail, ater she pleaded guilty to misconduct while in public oice and creating a false intervention order. Sara Borg, 40, faced the County Court on May 29 and June 19, and was sentenced on July 16. Judge Fran Dalziel said that Borg had pleaded guilty to two charges of misconduct in public oice, one charge of making a false document, one charge of using a false document and two charges of unauthorised access with intent to commit a serious ofence. he court heard that in September 2018, while employed as registrar, Borg accessed the magistrates’ court database and discovered information about a tradesman, who had been at her sister’s house. he court also heard that during October 2018, Borg assisted a friend of her brother – named as “JS” – who was seeking access to his child. Judge Dalziel said Borg used other registrar’s details to create a fake application Interim Intervention Order (IIO), seeking that the mother allow JS to access their child. Borg faxed the fake IIO to a police station in South Australia, to be served upon the mother. Police attempted to serve the order, but the mother was not at her house. Judge Dalziel said that a forensic psychologist who had assessed Borg found that she retained feelings of guilt for not preventing a friend from suicide, at the age of 18. Ms Dalzeil said she believed Borg had good rehabilitation prospects, and that Borg was genuinely remorseful for what she had done. She sentenced Borg to spend two years and one month in prison, with a non-parole period of 13 months.

Call to protect train passengers By Alesha Capone A politician has called for direct trains from Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdown suburbs to regional areas, to help protect regional passengers. Geelong radio station Bay FM last week reported that West Victorian MP Bev McArthur has also requested the state government consider introducing carriages reserved only for regional passengers, on V/Line trains. Some regional V/Line trains travel through Geelong to Wyndham Vale, Tarneit, Deer Park, Ardeer, Sunshine and Footscray. Ms McArthur said that if regional Victorians

needed to travel to Melbourne for essential reasons, their risk of exposure to people from “highly-infected areas” – such as Wyndham – should be minimised. “Dedicated carriages for passengers boarding outside of the stage three restricted areas would be an efective solution to try to minimise
intermingling of passengers,” Ms McArthur said. “Alternatively, direct trains that run express through suburbs that are highly contaminated could be a good way to get regional Victorians in and out of the city with minimal contact with people from high risk areas.” Stage three stay-at-home restrictions are in place across metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, based on advice from Victoria’s chief health oicer. People are only permitted to travel for the reasons of shopping for food and essential items; medical care and caregiving; and work and study, if they cannot do it from home.
A Department of Transport spokesperson said public transport services across the state continue to run as normal to support those who need to make essential journeys. “We’re keeping passengers and our frontline workers safe on public transport by cleaning high-touch surfaces regularly and deep-cleaning trains, trams and buses every night,” the spokesperson said. “We ask passengers to help us by travelling outside the peak, practising good hygiene, keeping distant from other commuters wherever possible and wearing masks.” he state government was contacted for comment.

Port noise ‘distressing’ for residents Williamstown residents say noise pollution from the Port of Melbourne is making their lives unbearable. Nigel and Wendy Lampert have written to the Port of Melbourne complaining of “debilitating, painful and distressing” noise. Mr Lampert described the noise as a low humming or rumbling. “hink of an organ: when you play an organ and they do those low bass notes,” he said. “We would go to bed and I could hear it in bed and I could feel it. It’s terrible. And in every room of the house it was the same.” He said other noises included the “whump”
sound of dropped containers, high-pitched engines and sirens wailing. he Lamperts say they understand the need for the port to grow but believe urgent action is needed to reduce noise. “hey must pay real and active attention to the lives and needs of residents,” they write in their complaint. “he actions of the port to this time seem somewhat arrogant, and commercially focused with little or no real regard for residents on the Williamstown side.” A Port of Melbourne spokeswoman said the Environment Protection Authority was
involved in trying to identify the source of the noise pollution. “Port of Melbourne is aware that some local residents are experiencing noise disturbances and we are sorry that this is happening,” she said. “Port of Melbourne is working with all the relevant port operators and the EPA in trying to identify the speciic source(s) of the noise(s). “In addition, we have commissioned an independent noise monitoring program to identify noise levels at various locations which include Port Melbourne and Williamstown.”
Hobsons Bay’s unique lora and fauna have been highlighted in a series of educational videos showcasing native animals in the west. Some are ive-minute videos focusing on an animal or plant, while longer videos are accompanied with resource packs so teachers and educators can incorporate them into lessons for children of diferent ages. he irst videos produced showcase barn owls, penguins, reptiles and sheoak trees. Hobsons Bay’s marine areas, wetlands, coastal parks, waterways and other open spaces create diverse ecosystems that provide habitat to many rare and threatened species. Altona Coastal Park borders Cheetham Wetlands, which is internationally recognised under the Ramsar environmental treaty and home to more than 200 bird species.

Vicki’s invincible spirit shines By Alesha Capone Whether she is jumping out of planes or getting a tattoo, Vicki Bellizzi has been living life to the full since recovering from breast cancer. “I’ve always said that I’m one of the lucky ones, because I survived,� the Point Cook mother of two said last week. “I’ve just got the scars and I don’t care about that.� In 2015, when she turned 49, Ms Bellizzi was encouraged by a friend to get a mammogram. She said she had already been thinking of undergoing screening because her sister had been diagnosed with breast cancer, at the age of 39.

Soon ater being diagnosed, Ms Bellizzi underwent a 12-hour double mastectomy and reconstruction.

Youth weapons concerns By Alesha Capone Police have expressed concern ater inding teenagers as young as 13 carrying weapons in public areas in the west, including knives and imitation irearms. A Victoria Police spokesperson said that last month, Wyndham police attended reports of anti-social behaviour. he spokesperson said that at a “few incidents”, police had detected youths aged between 13-to-18-years-old “carrying weapons and dangerous articles in public places as a
means of self-defence”. “he weapons being carried by young people in these incidents include kitchen knives, pocket knives and imitation irearms,” the spokesperson said. “Serious injuries can occur when someone carries or uses a weapon and police need to ensure the safety of the broader community.” he spokesperson said police were conducting several ongoing operations to detect and deter knife crime, and to hold people carrying illegal weapons to account. “We are also working with local schools in
an efort to educate students directly in relation to weapons and personal safety strategies,” the spokesperson said. he spokesperson said Victoria Police encouraged parents and guardians to talk to their children about the legalities and safety risks associated with carrying weapons. Under Victorian law, you cannot carry, possess or use a weapon or dangerous articles to hurt people or to defend yourself. “Without a lawful excuse, you cannot carry weapons or dangerous articles including knives or box-cutters, batons, cattle prods, bayonets,
an axe, a cricket bat or a hammer in public,” the spokesperson said. “If police believe you are illegally carrying a weapon, they can search you and your car without a warrant. “If they ind a weapon they can take it from you and you could face criminal charges. “Please let your kids know, that if they ever feel threatened or unsafe to call [triple-0] for immediate police assistance. “We appreciate you starting these discussions with your kids. “Together, we can create a safety community.”
ALP’s council candidates hree Labor-endorsed candidates have announced they will run for Hobsons Bay council in October’s election, standing on a platform of COVID recovery. Lead candidate Daniel McKinnon has a public proile as treasurer of Save Williamstown, a group that fought against residential development near major hazard facilities. He will run for Strand ward on a ticket with Ross Alexander, who is completing his masters in climate policy. A third ALP candidate, Matt Tyler, will be running in Wetlands ward. Mr Tyler is part of the leadership team at Jesuit Social Services, focusing on mental health and family violence. “We’ve got a team that mixes a bit of youth with a bit of experience,” Mr McKinnon said. “I think really the main issue is the impact of COVID-19 because every other issue will be framed by that … it’s going to put enormous
EVERY y Wednesda
pressure on the budget … and it’s going to put enormous pressure on services. “I’ve got a lot of experience in business … and because I’m a qualiied accountant I’ve got experience in managing large budgets. “I ran the [Victoria] university budget team when doing the annual budget and that was a budget of about $480 million.” Strand ward has three elected councillors: the Greens’ Jonathon Marsden and sixth-term independents Angela Altair and Peter Hemphill. “Although those councillors have been there for a long time and done an excellent job and really contributed to the community, there’s really no harm in getting some new talent in from time to time, particularly when there are new challenges to be addressed, so that’s what’s really motivating us,” Mr McKinnon said.
