School site backflip By Serena Seyfort The Kyneton community has had a win in the long-running battle over the former Kyneton Primary School site. In a major backflip, the state government announced last Wednesday that the property would “remain in public hands” – after working towards selling it for months. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas revealed the government would keep the old school, just hours before Macedon Ranges council was due to decide whether it would buy any of the Baynton Street site. The government’s decision comes after more than a year of community campaigning to support owning and governing the site. Kyneton Town Square Reference Group has been one of the main community groups driving the campaign. Group member Rob Bakes said it was “good news” that the state had moved away from selling the property, but it was only “a part-win”. “The big thing we have to achieve is that the government allows the community to run the site,” he said. “They haven’t shown any sign of letting the community take control.” The state government said it had appointed the Loddon Campaspe Regional Partnership to work with the community and the council to oversee the future of the site. Prior to the announcement, the council was preparing to consider a report recommending it adopt the Kyneton Primary School Master Plan and purchase the “eastern lots of the site”. The report took into account community feedback on the draft master plan that proposed both council and private ownership scenarios. The draft master plan was drawn up using a $65,000 contribution from the state government. The council has now moved that its chief executive brief councillors on the state’s proposal for the site by July 31. At a community forum organised by the Kyneton Town Square Reference Group on May 6, about 200 residents heard Liberal candidate for Macedon, Amanda Millar, declare that, if elected, her party would keep the school site as government land. Ms Millar received a petition from the Kyneton Square Reference Group, signed by 2300 residents, which Opposition Leader Matthew Guy tabled in the Legislative Assembly on May 9.
Black is back in Ballan Ballan’s Black Nite Black Lite festival began with a few women toiling away in a broom closet. Now thousands of visitors are expected to flock to this year’s edition of the winter solstice celebration, in which artists, schools and community groups transform 30 shop windows with colourful, fluorescent paint lit up with black UV lights. The week-long free and town-wide celebration, which will run from June 17, will include light shows, food and entertainment along Inglis Street, musical art installations and an interactive show on opening night. Organiser Sarah Peckham said workshops, run by Wombat Regional Arts Network, started last week to help get the town dressed up for the festivities. She said the festival’s genesis came from a workshop that experimented with an old can of glow-in-the-dark paint in a broom closet. “I bought a black lite and we took it into a store room, along with some high-visibility fluro paint that I’d bought, we shut the door and everything just looked spectacular under black light,” she said. “Tennis balls in the store room and our white paper – everything was jumping out at us.” She said organisers expected about 200 visitors last year – and drew more than 1000. Ms Peckham said the festival involved the whole town – from its youngest to its oldest members. “A whole lot of people have put together a lot of unbelievably wonderful things for visitors to enjoy,” she said. “It’s just one of those amazing, magic things.” Details: wombatarts.org/black-nite.html Sarah Peckham and Carmel Hunter are ready for Black Nite Black Lite.

Macedon protection law passed By Serena Seyfort New state government legislation designed to protect the Macedon Ranges from inappropriate development has been given the tick of approval. The Distinctive Areas and Landscapes Bill 2017 was passed in Parliament last week, designating the Macedon Ranges as the first “distinctive area” up for protection. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said it was “only fitting” that the Macedon Ranges be the first place to receive protection.
“This bill means the amenity and landscapes of the Macedon Ranges will be preserved for generations to come,” Ms Thomas said. The bill introduces new planning controls by amending the Planning and Environment Act 1987. It allows the government to declare part of Victoria to be a distinctive area and landscape, and requires the minister to prepare a Statement of Planning Policy to guide development in the area. The planning statement must seek to conserve the distinct attributes of the area.
The bill states the government must consult the community and other persons affected by the statement when writing it. The draft Macedon Ranges Localised Planning Statement was released for public feedback in December, having been written by the state government with Macedon Ranges council. However, it was slammed by local groups, with Macedon Ranges Residents Association secretary, Christine Pruneau saying the document had “many, many, many failings”.
Ms Pruneau said the plan was meant to prioritise the Macedon Ranges’ environment, character and landscape above development, but instead it was “just a growth plan”. The association held a public meeting about its outrage, while another residents group, A Forum for Democratic Renewal, held similar sessions across the shire. The state government extended the consultation period on the statement by two weeks “given the level of community interest in the draft,” Ms Thomas announced on her Facebook page.
Husky breeding plan refused
(Marco De Luca)
An application to house 20 adult huskies for breeding in Gisborne has been unanimously knocked back by Macedon Ranges council. The proposal for 111 Tweddle Road, Gisborne South was refused on advice from council officers. The council received 20 objections to the proposal. The applicant currently has a number of huskies and dog-keeping facilities and was applying for a permit to keep 20 dogs for breeding and to build the necessary dog runs and kennels. The council heard objections from 11 residents at its meeting last week. One resident said he was concerned about the applicant’s ability to contain more dogs. He alleged a dog currently kept at the premises was responsible for killing his pet bird in front of his young children. The father of three said he had known one of the dogs to enter his property four times, leaving his children scared to be outside. Objectors also spoke about the potential for increased noise with more dogs on the site, including howling, the sound of a quad bike used to exercise the dogs, and loud music that was played while doing so. They said the slope of the land worsened the noise, which conflicted with their desire for a quiet and peaceful life. A report by council officers said the application was not consistent with various clauses in the planning scheme and failed to meet the criteria stipulated by the EPA Noise Control Guidelines, including a setback of kennels at least 500 metres from residential areas.

Macedon property sale deferred By Serena Seyfort The site of Macedon’s former maternal and child health centre will be owned by Macedon Ranges council for at least another nine months. The council has delayed the sale of 47 Victoria Street, Macedon, in response to campaigner calls for more time to develop plans to use the site for the community. Councillor Mandi Mees asked the council at its meeting last week to hold off the sale for nine months on behalf of a group of Macedon residents.
“I feel it’s right, fair and reasonable that we allow the community to take that [time],” she said. The group, which Cr Mees told the council was led by eight key members and had “extensive support from the wider community”, last month submitted a late objection to the council’s notice of intent to sell the vacant property. They want the council to retain the building to become a community asset, and have the support of more than 80 other residents in an online Facebook group.
Their submission to council suggested the building could be used for a number of community purposes, such as a men’s shed, bike school, youth services or neighbourhood house. Campaigner Anastasia Clunies-Ross last month told Star Weekly that Macedon needed a community place like those in most other Macedon Ranges towns. “It’s sad that Macedon doesn’t have any sort of council or community or neighbourhood centre,” Ms Clunies-Ross said. Council officers recommended the council
go ahead with selling 47 Victoria Street, Macedon. Their report to council said the campaign group’s submission did not “provide sufficient evidence to support retaining” the site and officers were concerned that it lacked a detailed and financially supported plan. The report proposed a compromise previously raised by the campaigners – that the sale’s proceeds be put into capital works projects for Macedon. But Cr Mees said the group, having read the report, still wanted more time to develop a clearer plan to set up a community facility.
Seeds of remembrance The St Mary’s School community planted its own living memorial to the Anzacs last week. Members of the Romsey/Lancefield Returned and Services League were joined by more than 110 grandparents of the school’s pupils on Wednesday for the planting of a special oak tree. Together, the attendees hand made poppies and wreaths, which were laid around the tree during a ceremony. The Lancefield school is one of 600 primary schools taking part in the Victorian branch of the National Trust of Australia’s Gallipoli Oaks Project. National Trust of Australia (Victoria) chief executive Simon Ambrose said at the core of the project was an Australian soldier who found some acorns while stationed at Gallipoli. “Captain Winter Cooke remembered that his Uncle Samuel in Hamilton was a bit of a tree
enthusiast; someone that would be interested in these rare acorns, and so sent a package of acorns to him from Gallipoli almost 100 years ago,” Mr Ambrose said. “Schools will plant seedlings that are direct descendants of those acorns from Gallipoli, and in doing so, will have their own direct link to the environment that the soldiers endured during the campaign.” Serena Seyfort

A very vine time in Asia A Macedon Ranges wine company is being featured in Hong Kong and China. Baynton’s Andrea Knight is in Asia presenting wines from her Macedon Ranges vineyard Granite Hills to the international market. Ms Knight is travelling with her distributor, Jeson Cheng from Jor Wines, introducing the wines to influential Chinese importers, distributors, wholesalers and media. “We are really excited to present our wines to this market,” Ms Knight said. “Our Granite Hills gruner veltliner and Granite Hills pinot noir have been selected for VIP events in Hong Kong and Shanghai.” The business is participating in the roadshow thanks to $7775 from the Wine Growth Fund.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the government was supporting wineries such as Granite Hills so Victoria’s businesses could remain competitive and world-class in local and export markets. “Granite Hills makes a fantastic drop, which is indicative of the rich wine and food industry that hails from here in the Macedon Ranges,” Ms Thomas said. Granite Hills has been producing wine for 40 years. The 12-hectare vineyard grows riesling, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, shiraz, gamay, pinot blanc and malbec.

Club funds its own court A local football netball club is taking a shortage of training space into its own hands. Gisborne Football Netball Club will construct a second netball court at Gardiner Reserve to cater for its vast numbers of players. The club’s offer to construct the court for Macedon Ranges council was last week accepted by the council. Club president John Wood told the council meeting on May 23 that, when completed, the court would be handed over to the shire. Mr Wood said the court was particularly needed for netball training, with five teams from the club presently training on the one available court. “We see this as a real necessary piece of infrastructure,” he said. Mr Wood said the new court would support female participation by increasing capacity. He said the club wanted to make Gardiner Reserve the sporting hub of Gisborne. Construction of the court will be supervised by council officers to ensure building and safety standards are met. An officer report to council estimated the court would cost the club about $150,000. It said the council had been advised that a contractor was ready to begin construction. Gardiner Reserve is currently used by three sporting clubs and a total of 16 netball teams.
Members of the Macedon Ranges Potters have been putting in long hours at the pottery wheel and kiln in preparation for their upcoming exhibition. The creative group will again be displaying clay artworks at the Woodend Winter Arts Festival over the Queen’s Birthday weekend. The members work with a variety of clays, glazes and techniques to develop functional, sculptural and wearable pieces of art. Nic Germano is one of the 11 enthusiastic potters who have been making and exhibiting with the Macedon Ranges Potters for a number of years. Mr Germano also teaches the art at Sunbury’s Boilerhouse Community Arts Centre at Jacksons Hill. Most of the artists will be available to chat about their works and careers on Saturday, June 10, from 2-4pm. Light refreshments will be on offer. The pottery exhibition will be held at Woodend Community Hub on Forest Street, Woodend, from Friday, June 9 through to Monday, June 11, open each day from 10am-4pm. Entry will be free.

Property of the week
WOODEND 4a Corinella Road, 3442 RT Edgar: 5428 8633
Price: $840,000 – $920,000
Maella House, a beautifully designed, spanking-new Victorian cottage tribute, is a superb choice for city-commuting professionals who want the winsome Woodend lifestyle, without weekends spent on onerous property upkeep. Downsizers and small families will also love it. It’s across the road from the station, with an hour-long trip into Flinders Street; and a short stroll from the heart of the village, as well as a Coles store to open this year. Built to craftsman standards by Lancefield’s Lachlan Fleming, the house has subtle period references, such as the sash windows, ornate steel floor vents and

nearly three-metre ceilings all through, but all else is bang-on for contemporary life. Timeless Tasmanian oak floorboards line the entry hall and living hub, wall paint is crisp white, carpets and accents are in greys, and a combination of white casement plantation shutters and soft-grey roman blinds dress tall windows. Ceiling, floor and wall insulation, plus noise-reducing double glazing throughout, achieve great climate control, ably assisted by gas ducted heating, multiple ceiling fans and a split-system. The three fitted bedrooms flank the entry hall, the spacious main with a
well-designed walk-in robe behind a mid-grey accent wall, and a chic en suite with smart matte-grey floor tiles, white subway wall tiling, and a wide oval basin, with provincial-style tapware, atop a Smartstone quartz vanity bench. The spacious main bathroom, also along the hallway, mirrors the look of the en suite. The large living domain has a meals zone with a leafy outlook for bird-watching, while the sitting area has a clever fully fitted study area concealed behind doors. A trio of soft-grey concrete-form pendants are above the Stonesmart quartz waterfall island bench in the sleek kitchen.

Soft-close cabinetry in white vinyl-wrap includes a top-and-tail pantry with appliance nook, loads of pot drawers, plus a lazy susan corner cupboard. Also featuring are a dishwasher and Euro Milan 900mm cooker. The neighbouring laundry sports a built-in ironing board, shirt hanger and airing racks. Finishing touches include a secure front lawn area behind a high picket fence – viewed from a private north-facing porch – and an automatic gate to three car parking spaces, one under a carport. This is a fine way to “do” Woodend. Carole Levy 13 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 29, 2018

Bulldogs break through for second win of the season Gisborne finally got some reward for effort, claiming its second win of the Bendigo Football League season. It’s been a while between drinks for the Bulldogs, not having won since the opening round. But on Saturday they were able to play well for a longer period and go on to win 18.19 (127)-6.6 (42) against Maryborough. Bulldogs’ coach Clinton Young said while they were slow out of the blocks, it was a good even team performance. “Judging on other results, they [Maryborough] have a young team and I thought, from my point of view, that we wanted to play our best football.
“We’ve been in games the last month, but we haven’t been able to get the results. “We played really well in the middle part of the game, though we were slow at the start and end. “We’ve got a game plan and we do it well for the majority of the game, but we need to do it for four quarters. “Hopefully we will gain some momentum.” Matt Goodyear was the standout for the Bulldogs. Young said Goodyear, who played AFL for Collingwood before playing VFL the past few seasons, had decided to play local football only for the rest of the season. “He made the decision a couple of weeks ago and he adds to our group,” Young said.
“He’s well experienced and brought something to our team. He’s really enjoying being back and hopefully he will stamp himself as one of the best midfielders in the competition.” Young said Riley Paterson was the other standout. Sam Ramsay kicked four goals in his first game of the season. Young, who was also back for his first game of the season, said he was happy to get through the game. “It was good to be back out there, it’s been almost 12 months since I last played,” he said. The win leaves the Bulldogs sitting seventh on the ladder with a 2-4 record ahead of three matches before the mid-season break.
Slow Jets fail to fire By Tara Murray A poor first quarter proved costly for the Sunbury Jets in the Big V Women’s state championship division. Facing ladder leaders Knox Raiders, the Jets had the chance to test themselves against the pace setters, but didn’t play their best basketball. The Jets were quickly down by 15 points and weren’t able to recover, losing 78-68. Jets’ coach Kennedy Kereama said the scoreboard reflected the way the two sides played on the night. “I think it’s always a pretty tough game when you’re playing Knox,” he said. “To beat a team like that you have to be playing your best basketball and we didn’t play our best basketball. “They played really well early and they couldn’t miss.” Josie Stockill top-scored with 26 points, while Orla O’Reilly and Elyce Penaluna both scored double figures. New recruit Kerryn Harrington stepped onto the court with the Jets for the first time. Harrington, who represented Australia at under age level, joined the Jets as a replacement for Monique Stevens, who will miss the rest of the season due to pregnancy. Kereama said Harrington, who only played a couple of minutes, would be a good inclusion for the side. “She wasn’t meant to be on the court this week,” he said. “We played her to qualify her. “We had a working relationship before in the SEABL [South Eastern Australian Basketball League]. “She’s a superb athlete that has fallen in our lap. “We’ve missed a pure point guard for most of the season. She has a high basketball IQ and is a really great person to have around.” Kereama said Harrington’s Victorian Football League commitments would only impact her for one game. The Jets currently sit 5-5 having had an up and down start to the season. Kereama said they were hoping for a better second half to the season. “We are now at a point where we are settled,” he said. “With a settled group and full squad, hopefully the consistency will come.” The Jets face Southern Peninsula Sharks on Sunday. The match will be a big one for Sharon Plichta, who will play her 350th state league game. Meanwhile, the men’s side had a good win against Collingwood All Stars in division 1. After trailing by five points at half-time, the Jets outscored the All Stars in the second half by 11 points to get the 84-78 win. Skipper Jacob Formosa top-scored for the Jets with 22 points. They face Chelsea Gulls this week. Josie Stockill top scored with 26 points for the Jets. (Shawn Smits) 20 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 29, 2018
Young said they wanted to continue to build. “We’ve still got guys out and we are starting to build that depth,” he said. “We’ve got Castlemaine, who we had a tough battle with last year and then Golden Square. They are one of the benchmarks of the competition and we want to make an impression against the top sides. “Then we have South Bendigo. “We’re keen to really make our way up the ladder.” Kyneton had a good win against Sandhurst, winning 14.9 (93)-8.14 (62). The win moves the Tigers to third on the ladder. Tara Murray

FFV
Sunbury United suffered a rare loss in FFV state league 3 north-west on Saturday to Moreland United. Neither side could score in the first half, with Sunbury having the best chance through a penalty shot. Both sides went down a man early in the second half due to red cards, before Moreland broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute. Sunbury wasn’t able to find the equaliser, with Moreland winning 1-0. Sunbury slips to fifth on the ladder. Gisborne remains second on the state league 5 west ladder after a 4-0 win against Kensington City.

East Sunbury now sits a game clear on top of the Essendon District Football League division 2 ladder after a solid win against Hadfield.

Bombers soar and bring out their best Riddell put in its best performance of the Riddell District Football League season to easily accounted for Romsey on Saturday. Having won their past two games against sides which will likely finish in the bottom half of the ladder, the Bombers were looking for their first win against a team which played finals last year. Just like the last time the two teams met, which was in the finals, it was all the Bombers in the 18.19 (127)-9.6 (60) win. Bombers coach Jamie Elliott said it was pleasing to finally have a big win against a good side. The win could quite easily have been 100 points-plus had the Bombers kicked straight. “We were trying to get there in the end [100 points margin], but they pushed a few numbers behind the ball,” Elliott said. “As we have been all season, we haven’t really kicked well and that was disappointing. “We were attacking the footy pretty well and we just need to clean up a few little areas and we’ll be OK.”
Elliott said they would continue to work on goalkicking at training, but admits a lot of it is mental. Hayden Ross was the pick of the Bombers in front of goal, kicking five goals. Elliott said Paul Sahlberg and Tim Walsh were the best in a team performance. He also singled out Riley Miller and Bryce Williamson as two of the younger players who impressed in only their second and third senior games respectively. The win brings the Bombers back to 3-3, having lost their first three matches. Elliott said while they would have liked to have won all three of those matches they had learnt a lot of lessons. “It’s funny and sometimes you learn more from your losses than you do from your wins,” he said. “We’re training better and setting up a lot better defensively.” He said they were still trying to get the right mix, with several players in the under-19s and reserves who could easily be in the top side.
The Bombers this week face the Sunbury Kangaroos, who have been up and down all season. “Hopefully we bring the same attitude and intensity as we did this week,” Elliott said. In other results, Woodend-Hesket caused the upset of the season so far, defeating Diggers Rest, 15.9 (99)-13.10 (88). Wallan was too good for Melton Centrals winning 19.12 (126)-8.3 (51), while the Sunbury Kangaroos returned to the winners’ list with a 24.12 (156)-4.5 (29) win against Lancefield. Rupertswood smashed Rockbank 36.20 (236)-3.5 (23), while Macedon held Broadford score less, winning 25.18 (168)-0.0 (0). Tara Murray

Romsey makes a point By Tara Murray Romsey held off Riddell in a high-paced match in the Riddell District Netball League. Both sides had their time dominating the play, but neither could put the other away and it went down to the wire. After hitting the front in the third quarter, the Redbacks held on to win 48-47. Redbacks coach Luke Marko Rawlings was relieved his side held on following a close loss and draw earlier in the season. “I’m so happy that it didn’t go to a draw again,” he said. “I don’t know what I would have done. “We sort of let them back into it in the last quarter, which got to me a bit … but we played well as a team.” The Redbacks took control of the game in the third quarter and got the margin out to five goals on more than one occasion in the second half. Marko Rawlings said the key to the turnaround was adjusting the pace of the game. “I think we got used to them delaying the play a little bit and we sort of set up better, which we executed better down the court,” he said. Chelsea Ross shot 36 goals from 40 for the Redbacks but Bec Colwell shot the exact same figures for the Bombers. Stefanie Symes and Monique Clark were both strong in defence for the Redbacks. “Mon and Symes were unreal and they limited her [Colwell] impact in that second half,” Marko Rawlings said. The win moves the Redbacks to fourth on the ladder but they have played one less game than the top three sides. “To beat a side like that when everyone probably thought we were underdogs, it puts us in a really good position for the rest of the season,” Marko Rawlings said. “I think we’ve got a pretty young squad and obviously we don’t have the juniors coming up, so we’ve picked up a few players throughout. “Everyone is coming together well.” The Redbacks face another challenge this week, taking on the undefeated Macedon side. The Cats are coming off smashing Broadford, 69-26. Both sides will likely have players missing or on restrictions due to the Victorian Netball League round on Sunday. Marko Rawlings said it would be a good test of depth. “We’ve only really got nine players on our team, but the depth we’ve got means everyone can pretty much play anywhere.” In other results, Wallan held on against Melton Centrals 40-37, Diggers Rest beat Woodend-Hesket 59-34 and Rupertswood beat Rockbank 41-32.
Hawks happy with big scalp Woodend-Hesket pulled off the biggest upset of the Riddell District Football League season by defeating Diggers Rest on Saturday. The Hawks, among the season’s biggest improvers, had yet to claim a top scalp and were looking to close the gap between themselves and the top sides. On Saturday they succeeded, holding their nerve late to defeat the Burras 15.9 (99)-13.10 (88). Hawks coach Tom Carland said he was happy to see senior players step up late when needed. The Burras led late in the last quarter, before the Hawks kicked the last two goals to seal the win. “It was quite good and the boys are playing well,” he said. “Alistair Rae and Tom Wilson stood up when the going got tough.” Carland said both Rae and Wilson, who joined the club this season, had grown to “love the club in such a short period of time”. Rae kicked five goals for the game, including the final two goals. Rae, Wilson and Charlie Mathieson were named the side’s best in an even team performance. Mathieson’s form has been impressive the past couple of weeks and he was named best on ground in the RDFL’s under-18 interleague side. Carland said it was pleasing the Hawks were fielding so many younger players. “We’ve fielded seven under-18s each week and they are stepping up to the challenge,” he said. “There was no passengers on Saturday – I think it was a four-quarter team effort.” The result moves the Hawks to 4-2 with a clash against the winless Broadford this weekend. Carland said the Hawks were where they expected to be. “At the start of the year, we were aiming to beat two of Macedon, Diggers Rest, Rupertswood and Riddell,” he said. “That was the goal and to beat one of them so early, the goalposts change a little bit. It’s pleasing to be on track with where we wanted to be.” The other weekend winners were Riddell, Rupertswood, Macedon, Wallan and Sunbury Kangaroos.
