Rubbish verdict on bins

CARYN HEARSCH

Rejected 478 times

By Adem Saban Caryn Hearsch has reached a new milestone … but not one she wants to celebrate.

The Hoppers Crossing resident received her 478th rejection letter from a potential employer last week.

Star Weekly first met Ms Hearsch in November last year when she was knocked back for the 350th time … six months on, she’s still desperate to work but little has changed.

“I’ve been applying for everything,” she said. “Receptionist and admin jobs, education support jobs, even supermarkets, but there’s nothing out there.

“I’ve applied for jobs and I’m willing to travel as far as Deer Park, Craigieburn and even Prahran, but nobody is interested.”

The 59-year-old worked as a medical secretary-personal assistant at a Melbourne rehabilitation centre for 42 years until 2012 but has had no luck since in her job hunt.

She said she struggles for any feedback other than “the job was given to a more suitable candidate”.

Ms Hearsch receives $1080 a month in welfare benefits, but $1000 of that goes straight onto her mortgage.

“I juggle the remaining $80 on electricity, petrol, rates – all that sort of thing.”

A kind neighbour feeds her in exchange for picking her children up from school.

“I’ve got no money in savings, no superannuation left, and every week I go to Geelong where I sell my things at the market,” Ms Hearsch said.

“What will I do when I have nothing left to sell?

“I’ll probably be forced to say goodbye to my house, too. At the moment I can’t see a way out of it.

She says the best-case scenario is simple … if somebody would give her a chance.

“A lottery win would be great, but I don’t have the money to buy a ticket.

“I just want to work, I just want a job.”

LeadWest chief executive Craig Rowley said Ms Hearsch was not alone.

“You have high unemployment for 15 to 25-year-olds and then it drops. But at 45 it begins to rise again.”

Mr Rowley said there was a need to increase the number of jobs close to where people live to combat rising jobless rates.

Wyndham residents have slammed their council over its plan to reduce the size of household waste bins – but the council has no intention of backing down.

Nearly 140 people expressed their anger online last week after a Star Weekly report revealed residential waste wheelie bins would go from 140 litres in capacity to 120 litres, saving 1.4 million tonnes of waste across the city every year. Recycling bins will increase in size from 240 litres to 360 litres.

It’s part of the council’s new waste and litter strategy – which also include redeveloping the transfer station at the Werribee tip by 2020 and rolling out subsidised green waste bins to all properties.

Of those who commented, the majority of residents welcomed the council’s plan to increase the size of household recycling bins, but many were furious at the decision to cut the size of general rubbish bins, complaining that their bins were already full come collection day.

Many residents were also opposed to the idea of the council phasing out the number of tip tokens in favour of introducing three hard-waste collections a year.

Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich said the council had broadly consulted with the community before adopting the waste and litter strategy, and would not be making any changes to the plans.

Cr Hegedich said reducing the size of Wyndham’s waste bins was bringing the area in line with national standards, adding that changes won’t be made until at least 2018, when the council’s current waste collection contract expires.

She said the council was reducing the tip tokens handed out because some landlords were not passing on the tokens to their renters.

“At the end of the day, our aim is to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill,” she said.

EPA chases source of creek chemical spill Environment Protection Authority (EPA) officers are investigating the source of a chemical spill in Laverton North last week.

A tip-off to the EPA hotline alerted the authority to the chemical spill in Kororoit Creek, near Silverton Close, on Tuesday.

EPA metropolitan manager Daniel Hunt confirmed that officers were still investigating the source and make-up of the spill from a stormwater drain outfall into Kororoit Creek.

An EPA officer attending the site said the spill was a white, milky substance that was possibly

a cleaning agent. But its exact nature would not be known until water samples were returned in about two weeks and further investigation had been done.

“The removal of contaminated water is well under way and is anticipated to be completed in the near future,” Mr Hunt said.

“EPA has identified a potential source but its investigation is currently ongoing and any evidence gathered will determine whether any offences have occurred under the Environment Protection Act 1970.

“This incident highlights the need to remind and inform the public that the stormwater system is not connected to the sewer system and anything that is discharged to the storm water drain impacts our aquatic environment in the creeks, rivers and ultimately the ocean.”

Meanwhile, a white substance was also found in the Werribee River and Davies Creek in Truganina last Wednesday.

Mr Hunt said an EPA officer determined it was likely to be a sediment-based pollutant.

“In this instance we were unable to trace the

pollutant to a source as the discharge ceased while the investigation was being conducted,” he said.

“EPA determined that the hazard associated with a sediment-based discharge of this size was relatively low.”

Anyone with information about the Kororoit Creek incident, including the substance dumped and its origin, can call the EPA on 1300 EPA VIC (372 842).

Jobs to go as papers fold

JOTUANSH, 5

Kids flood swim classes Wyndham residents have taken to AquaPulse like a duck to water, with the centre boasting one of the highest learn-to-swim enrolments in the state in only its first year of operation.

More than 3600 children have been enrolled in swimming lessons since the centre opened and there are now 869 classes a week conducted by 45 teachers.

About 250 students enrol each month.

AquaPulse, formerly Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre, opened on June 27 last year following a multimillion-dollar facelift.

Sam Benfell, of pool operator Western Leisure Services, said demand for the learn-to-swim classes since then had exceeded

all expectations. “We were aiming for about 4000 students by July 2017,” she said. “It’s been a huge achievement for the team and it’s great that we’re obviously filling a community need.

“It reflects how much these facilities are required … and we need more.”

Ms Benfell said the council planned to look at building a third swimming centre once certain targets had been met by AquaPulse. “[But] no one anticipated the success so quickly,” she said.

Wyndham council allocated $65,000 in its 2016-17 draft budget for a feasibility study for Wyndham’s third swimming facility – after AquaPulse and the Werribee outdoor pool – to be built in Sayers Road, Tarneit.

But that study was one of a number of projects to be cut from the budget after the Essential Services Commission knocked back the council’s request to increase rates by 4.5 per cent, instead of the state government-allowed maximum of 2.5 per cent.

Mayor Adele Hegedich said almost onemillion people had visited either AquaPulse or Eagle Stadium this financial year.

And she said the number of people using AquaPulse in just under a year was something for the council to be proud of.

But she questioned whether the council would be able to fast-track construction of a third swimming facility.

“Can we afford to bring it forward in a ratecapping environment?” she said.

Up to eight journalists will lose their jobs following News Corp’s decision to close seven of its Leader community newspapers, including four in the west.

The company informed the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) that the final editions of the Wyndham, Brimbank, Melton, Hobsons Bay, Berwick, Free Press and Melbourne newspapers would be published in the week beginning June 27.

A bulletin to MEAA members said “increased competitive pressures and the size of the market” were behind the decision and between five and eight journalists would be made redundant.

A News Corp Australia spokesperson confirmed the closure of the titles.

“Leader Community News will focus on brands with strong audience engagement and solid advertising market share and will invest in and rejuvenate its portfolio of community titles,” the spokesperson said.

“The reality is that in today’s fragmented market there is more competition than ever before and in some of our smaller markets, publishing a printed publication is not sustainable.”

MEAA Victorian director Carolyn Dunbar said this was a devastating cut for community news.

“MEAA members were told this morning that their papers will no longer exist in three weeks,” she said.

“It’s just not good enough.

“The company is required to consult with staff about major changes and the company should be drawing on the expertise of editorial staff on the ground before announcing cuts to titles.”

The union was expected to meet with News Corp on Monday to discuss the proposed changes.

Council complaints from within

By Adem Saban Most of the complaints against Wyndham councillors in the current four-year term have been made by other councillors.

Only three of eight complaints, which involved all 11 councillors, were made by ratepayers, according to information obtained

by Star Weekly.

The complaints have been lodged since the 2012 election over possible breaches of the councillor code of conduct. Only three were substantiated.

Cr Glenn Goodfellow has attracted the highest number of complaints since 2012, with three.

Two were substantiated by the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate.

Cr Goodfellow was suspended for two council meetings over one of the matters.

Cr Intaj Khan received two complaints and while neither was substantiated, he was given governance training as recommended by the investigator.

Cr Peter Maynard also attracted two

complaints. Neither was substantiated but an apology from Cr Maynard was sought, and given, over one of the matters.

Two complaints were also made against Cr Michele Wharrie, with both unsubstantiated.

A bullying complaint by Cr Goodfellow against seven colleagues was also not upheld.

But the bullying complaint led to the council’s chief executive implementing further training for all future councillors as recommended by the independent investigator.

Chief executive Kelly Grigsby would not reveal the cost of each individual investigation,

saying the cost varied depending on a range of factors. “These factors can include the number of parties to be interviewed; the number, nature and length of interviews; and the effort taken for independent external investigators or arbiters to form their view of the circumstances,� Ms Grigsby said.

The record was somewhat better in surrounding municipalities.

Geelong council has received six complaints during the current term, Hobsons Bay one, with no complaints made in Melton.

Stairs in her eyes If going up a couple of flights on stairs is enough to make you lose your breath, spare a thought for Rebecca Crennan.

The 21-year-old Wyndham Vale resident will climb more than 7300 stairs at the MCG later this month in a Stadium Stomp MCG challenge.

It’s the second time that Ms Crennan, a disability support worker at Warringa Park School, has taken on the challenge.

This year, she hopes to raise $500 for the Leukaemia Foundation. “I’ve registered to do the Stadium Stomp again because one of my best friends got diagnosed with leukaemia at the start of January, 2014,� she said. “It hit close to home because I had already lost two family members the year before to cancer.

This year I’m not only doing it for [my friend] Molly – I’m doing it for one of my students who I’ve worked with in recent years. He’s now

suffering from his third lot of leukaemia and it breaks my heart. “As much as I push myself to reach personal goals, I do it to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.�

To be ready for the event, Ms Crennan has been going to Anytime Fitness in Hoppers Crossing up to four times a week to sweat it out on the treadmill, exercise bikes and stepper machine, and pump weights.

Stadium Stomp MCG is on June 26.

Cop units combine on crime

By Charlene Macaulay A 10-week Wyndham police operation to combat a 9.7 per cent rise in crime across the city last year will be extended after more than 300 people were arrested during the crackdown.

Since March 31, police in the Westgate division – including Footscray, Williamstown and Altona North police stations – have worked in the operation alongside Wyndham’s police community safety team, burglary unit, motor vehicle crime reduction team and

uniform police. The latest operation began after data released by the Crime Statistics Agency revealed crime across Wyndham rose from 13,025 offences in 2014 to 14,285 last year.

In March this year, Wyndham experienced more than 130 thefts from cars and more than 100 burglaries.

Wyndham’s Inspector Frank Sells said that over the past 10 weeks, police had arrested 316 offenders for a range of offences including burglary, theft, drugs, assault, robbery, damage and driving offences.

Inspector Sells said he was pleased to see

‘‘

We’re continuing with this initiative to further - Frank Sells reduce crime

’’

the combined, strength-in-numbers approach work.

“The efforts of police from Wyndham and the broader Westgate division have significantly disrupted crime activity. As such, we’re continuing with this initiative to further reduce crime and associated offending.”

Wyndham’s community safety team was doubled in strength at the end of March.

The team was formed mid-last year to curb crime and antisocial behaviour around Wyndham’s shopping centres and train stations through mobile and foot patrols. It now has a sergeant and eight operational members.

Constable Shaun Tait said teams of two or three were deployed to different locations across Wyndham, depending on police data and intelligence.

He said the team was a proactive way of taking offenders off the streets.

Calm under pressure Meet Manor Lakes’ very own triple-0 hero.

Risini Gunawardane was one of 29 children and young people to receive an Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) award last week for calling triple-0 and remaining calm under pressure.

Earlier this year, the then 15 year-old called for an ambulance when her mum woke her up complaining of chest pain, shortness of breath and tingling in her hands.

Risini described the experience as “scary”.

“I watch [medical drama] Grey’s Anatomy, so the first thing I thought was that those were the signs of a heart attack,” Risini said.

“I called for an ambulance, because I didn’t want to take any chances, and I remember running around trying to gather any medicines she takes, and making sure the door was unlocked so paramedics could get in.

“It took about five minutes for the paramedics to arrive and, when they checked her out, there

was nothing major [wrong], but they still took her to the hospital.”

Risini said she felt very privileged to receive a junior triple zero hero award.

“I didn’t expect anything like this; I just acted in the moment.”

ESTA chief executive Julia Oxley said the awards highlighted the importance of teaching children and young people when and how to call triple-0.

State emergency services minister Jane Garrett added: “Victoria’s brave triple-0 heroes remained remarkably cool, calm and collected in emergencies that would have rattled most adults.”

o surprise to see Wyndham council’s application for a variation to the state government’s rate cap was denied.

Council argued that it needed to slug ratepayers more because we live in a growth area, and cash is required for appropriate infrastructure.

While that’s probably an accurate summation, isn’t the obvious answer to slow growth and make it fit with the available funds rather than vice-versa? If we can’t afford roads and other essential services in new estates, then we can’t let new estates just pop up like toadstools in a mushroom patch.

Every councillor and council official can reel off figures and statistics on our city’s growth as if it’s a badge of honor. But, as I’ve written before, it isn’t something to celebrate when that growth actually hampers the area’s liveability, which clearly it is doing. I’ve yet to see one person in power approach this problem from another perspective, and it’s time someone did.

But I will have problems with a smaller waste bin as mine is filled most weeks. We’re a three-person household, so I can only imagine what it will be like for bigger families.

One thing I’m sure of is that there will be no reduction in the cost to householders. There are online petitions against the smaller bins, but I doubt they’ll do any good.

Nature walk for river islands

A new Wyndham council project will help protect native flora and fauna on the islands in the Werribee River, near Presidents Park, by creating a nature walk in the area. Work will start this month.

UV protection neglected

Employers in the construction and agriculture industries may be at risk of neglecting their legal responsibilities by failing to protect workers from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, according to a new study. The Safe Work Australia study found that 86 per cent of Australian workers in the construction industry were exposed to UV radiation, but just seven per cent were adequately protected. In agriculture, 99 per cent of workers were exposed to UV radiation, but only 10 per cent were considered to be adequately protected by using shade, clothing, hats and sunscreen.

Brigade stressed by claims row

By Adem Saban

‘‘

That the CFA is concerned will obviously cause … stress - Michael Wells

Mr Wells said there were some concerns within the CFA that operations would be impacted as would the work of consultative committees.

“Any adverse actions that may affect this, be they perceived or actual, are of a concern,” he said. “That the CFA is concerned will obviously cause some degree of stress and anxiety to my members and the CFA brigades as a whole.”

Among concerns were possible changes to command and control at local incidents, staff interaction in relation to reporting and command, how changes would work

The drawn-out dispute around the enterprise bargaining agreement for career firefighters has caused stress and anxiety among Werribee brigade members, Captain Michael Wells says.

Mr Wells said he understood the United Firefighters Union (UFU), representing professional firefighters, had extensive documentation and a log of claims to negotiate, about which he said he had limited knowledge. “Interpretations can vary between parties; thus it’s quite hard to comment on how operations will change locally.”

’’

practically, and lack of acknowledgement of the role of volunteers.

Mr Wells said the UFU had met with Wyndham brigade volunteers to address these concerns.

“As we’re a fully volunteer brigade, we are always managing the motivation and retention of our members,” he said.

“It’s important that all parties remain respectful of the others’ point of view.”

Mr Wells said any EBA could be an emotive and difficult time for all parties involved and for anyone who believed they may be impacted by the process.

“I’m supportive of the best outcome for our fellow career firefighters, and there will always be concern if volunteers feel as though they are being discriminated against.”

Mr Wells said, currently, there was no change for Werribee’s model of service delivery, and it would remain a volunteer brigade.

The new festival will include a literature area that will host readings and discussion topics for adults and children and workshops in songwriting, cooking, yoga and circus play.

Camping, bushwalks, bike riding and visits to the Werribee zoo will also be part of the fun.

Among music artists signed for the debut festival are The Waifs, The Grates, The Bamboos with Tim Rogers, Ozomatli, Nicky Bomba, Ainslie Wills and CW Stoneking.

The man behind the popular Falls Festival is launching a family-friendly event to be held at Werribee Mansion over the Melbourne Cup weekend.

Simon Daly says the new music and arts festival, dubbed The Lost Lands, will bring together music, art, theatre, comedy and camping.

“The Lost Lands will give parents the chance to reconnect with the festival experience, while instilling in kids a love and appreciation of music, arts and adventure.”

Daly, who has a family of five, said there was a need for a more family-oriented cultural scene in Australia.

“In Europe, festivals often include children,” he said.

“They program shared experiences to be enjoyed by parents, kids, singles – anyone really.

The result is a more sophisticated generation

More voices join call for schools

By Adem Saban Wyndham council has backed Tarneit MP Telmo Languiller-Tornesi’s call for the state government to honour its pledge of boosting education.

Mr Languiller-Tornesi last week announced that LAW Architects will design the new primary school at Tarneit West announced in this year’s state budget.

The 2016-15 budget allocated $13 million to build the school, which is expected to open in time for the first term of 2018.

“The government is building the education state, which means investing in growing areas like Tarneit so our kids have access to the facilities they need to thrive,” Mr Languiller said.

But the council’s director of advocacy, Bill Forrest, says more needs to be done to meet the region’s education demands.

“With the rate of residential development occurring in Wyndham, a new primary school needs to be built every year and a new secondary college every three to four years,” Mr Forrest said.

“Wyndham welcomes the announcement that the state government has committed funds to secure land for the Davis Creek Primary School in Tarneit West, another in Sanctuary Lakes South and a secondary college in Point Cook. “[But] we want to see a pipeline of funding to construct these schools. Currently, there is no commitment in the four-year outlook in the state budget.”

Mr Forrest said the council had identified a possible partial solution to schools funding by drawing on developer contributions

collected by the state government on big projects.

“We will continue to advocate to both the state and federal government, including our commitment to campaigns such as Fund our Future and Get Wyndham Moving, to deliver the services and infrastructure our residents need,” Mr Forrest said.

A recent analysis by the Grattan Institute found that more than 1000 new classrooms are needed to cater for the projected 66 per cent growth in student numbers over the next decade across Wyndham.

From sewer to parkland how much the total project will finally cost.

Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard said the project would revitalise the old pipeline.

“The Greening the Pipeline initiative is a truly innovative approach to the issue of what to do with a decommissioned piece of infrastructure,” Cr Maynard said.

Melbourne Water integrated planning general manager Chris Williams added: “We hope to create a vibrant space that will connect communities, enhance active transport options for the region and provide a unique space to meet, play and relax.”

It might not look like much now, but this disused sewer line will soon be transformed into a unique community park.

Melbourne Water has joined forces with Wyndham council, City West Water and VicRoads on Greening the Pipeline, a project aimed at converting 27 kilometres of the heritage-listed main outfall sewer line into parkland, creating “innovative open spaces” that span multiple suburbs.

The sewer line, constructed in the 1890s, runs from the old pumping station at Spotswood to the western treatment plant at Werribee.

Construction will start early in the 2016-17 financial year on a 100-metre pilot park at Williams Landing, to be followed by a 3.7kilometre stretch spanning Williams Landing, Hoppers Crossing, Truganina and Laverton North.

The pilot park is the only part of the project that has been funded to date, and it is unclear

More cash cut pain on way

Jed Willis and Mackenzie Lockwood-Rourke are ready for the Youth Resource Centre’s winter ball. (Luke Hemer)

Dancing the chills away

By Adem Saban Brace yourselves, winter is here. But it isn’t all gloom and doom, not for the youth of Wyndham anyway.

The winter ball at the Youth Resource Centre is back for its second year, and organising committee head Mackenzie Lockwood-Rourke

hopes this year’s event will be even bigger than the last.

“We had about 150 people turning up last year,” she said.

“This year we’re hoping for similar numbers, or more.

“It gives us a chance to see everyone dressed up and having a good night with music,

dancing and prom-style photos.”

Mackenzie says the alcohol and drug-free event will feature a DJ spinning tracks from the charts, remixes, and a few traditional ballroom dancing melodies.

The winter ball is open to people aged 12 to 17 years, and is on June 17 from 6pm until 9pm.

Tickets are $2; pay at the door.

A federal freeze on indexation of financial assistance grants means Wyndham council will miss out on about $2 million funding next financial year.

The recent federal budget included a continuing hold on indexation for financial assistance grants, which are given to councils to fund infrastructure and services such as roads, libraries and child care.

Wyndham council corporate services director Steven Lambert said: “In 2014-15, Wyndham City received $14.12 million in financial assistance grants. In 2015-16 we’ll get $14.54 million and in 2016-17 we expect to get $14.97 million.

“If the indexation had not been frozen, Wyndham would have received $14.66 million in 2014-15, $15.77 million in 2015-16 and $17.01 million in 2016-17.”

Mr Lambert said that “in real per capita terms”, there had been a 15 per cent federal funding decrease over the past eight years.

“The lack of grant funding in a growth area such as Wyndham has significant impacts in terms of our capacity to deliver services and vital infrastructure,” he said.

“Money has to come from somewhere and decreasing federal government assistance simply means ratepayer funds are having to be stretched further.”

Lalor MP Joanne Ryan said continuing the indexation freeze meant less money was being spent on local infrastructure.

Rate hike pegged, spending cut

By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham residents are celebrating the Essential Services Commission’s decision to cap rate rises at 2.5 per cent.

It means ratepayers can expect a smaller than usual rate increase for the next financial year – despite the council applying for a 4.5 per cent rise, two percentage points higher than the state-imposed cap.

The commission knocked back its request at the end of May, saying the council had the financial capacity to find funding alternatives and expenditure offsets without the rate hike

it sought. On Star Weekly’s Facebook page, John said it was time Wyndham council lived within its means.

“It continues to hit ratepayers harder every year and provide less in return,” he said.

“It’s time this council got serious and worked to provide rate relief to the people of Werribee rather than continuing to take from those who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.”

Vanessa added: “If they stopped spending their [our] money on nonsense, they would have heaps of money.”

The council will now have to cut about

‘‘

It’s time this council got serious and worked to - John provide rate relief

’’

$3 million from its proposed capital works spend after unveiling its draft 2016-17 budget at the end of April.

Among projects likely to be culled because the council’s requested rate rise was not approved are a Werribee Integrated Community Hub, a feasibility study for Wyndham’s third indoor leisure centre,

stage one of the Wyndham Cultural Centre redevelopment, and $600,000 of road reconstructions and resurfacing programs.

Mayor Adele Hegedich said she was disappointed with the outcome, but her view was not shared by all councillors.

Cr Intaj Khan said he was happy the rate rise would be restricted to 2.5 per cent, while Cr Heather Marcus voted against the draft budget in April, saying she could not support a further increase in rates.

Wyndham ratepayers will also face rate hikes due to this year’s property revaluations and Melbourne’s booming residential market.

Cultivating good habits The green thumbs of pupils at Werribee Primary School have them well on their way to winning a national award.

The school has been named as one of four finalists for a Keep Australia Beautiful Sustainable Cities award in the category of active schools. It was also named as a finalist last year.

The Werribee school’s sustainability co-ordinator, Jo Wembridge, said the school had a range of projects and initiatives that had helped it achieve their five-star rating as a resource-sustainable school, putting it in the running for the award.

“We have a zero waste policy here, which students and their families have supported,” Ms Wembridge said.

“It initially started as nude food days, encouraging students to think about how they bring food to school – like, in a plastic reusable

container. Now many students choose to bring no rubbish to school, which has reduced our volumes of waste.”

The school has also switched to using solar panels, resulting in a reduction of $500 on each energy bill.

Two vegetable gardens, succulents, a sensory garden and a range of different grasses can also be found on the school grounds.

All these features have been put together by pupils of all ages during an 18-month period.

Ms Wembridge said the staff and students were excited to be finalists in the competition again.

“It’s good to be recognised for what we’re doing in the school,” she said.

The winners will be announced in November.

Preserved and Pickled owners Stuart and Jayne Todd. (Damjan Janevski)

Jayne pickles a winner Jayne Todd calls herself a corporate escapee.

She gave up on the corporate world two years ago and, with no experience in hospitality or food, launched Preserved and Pickled with husband Stuart.

Preserved and Pickled offers a range of preserves, jams and chutneys handmade from local fruit grown sustainably with Frenchinspired techniques.

In August last year, they also launched one of their big successes: French-style pates with rabbit, pork and duck.

The company moved into its first commercial premises, on Dunlop Road in Hoppers Crossing, last month.

Mrs Todd said the business was proudly based in Wyndham.

“When we were looking for somewhere to

open our store, we found places all over but really wanted to be here,” she said.

“It’s amazing how much the community backing has made a difference. It’s about hard work, but we’ve been receiving a lot of community support, too.”

Preserved and Pickled won a Wyndham Business Award last year in the category of new and emerging business.

Free nominations are now open for this year’s awards, to be presented in 16 categories at an August 26 presentation evening at the Encore Events Centre.

A new aged care centre at Williams Landing will help accommodate Wyndham’s growing ageing population, a councillor says.

Wyndham council’s disability, ageing and inclusion portfolio-holder Michele Wharrie has welcomed the sale of land by developers Cedar Woods to build a new $35 million aged care home for up to 120 residents.

Cr Wharrie said there was a shortage of aged care and retirement facilities across the western suburbs.

The new centre, to be owned and operated by Queensland-based retirement home company TriCare, will help cater for Wyndham’s ageing population and people moving there, or close by, to be closer to their families.

Cedar Woods state manager Nathan Blackburne said the new centre plan supported the company’s vision for Williams Landing.

“Its location in the town centre enables easy access for families and allows residents to remain active in the walkable Williams Landing community,” he said.

TriCare director Peter O’Shea said the company chose Williams Landing because of its easy access by public transport and its amenities.

“The Williams Landing town centre offers a number of obvious benefits for an aged care facility in western Melbourne, including a developing community and great public transport connectivity to the Melbourne CBD and surrounding areas,” he said.

The company owns and manages nine retirement villages and 15 residential aged care centres in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.

Construction of the Williams Landing aged care centre will start midway through next year.

Mr O’Shea says the plans also include future stages, enabling the centre to double in size in coming years.

‘‘

Its location in the town centre enables residents to - Peter O’Shea remain active

’’

According to a Wyndham council study of the region’s demographics, a 133 per cent increase in people of retirement age is anticipated over the next 20 years.

Other projects in the works for Williams Landing include expansion of the shopping centre: an additional 1200 square metres of ground floor retail space.

A new 106-place childcare centre will also be built, and construction of 57 one and twobedroom apartments is under way.

Wyndham council recently gave the green light to a $5.7 million sports reserve, which will feature two full-size ovals, six tennis courts and a playground.

As well, a new parking lot offering an extra 300 spots for people commuting from Williams Landing train station opened up last month.

Khan’s call to arms on tip

By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham councillor Intaj Khan will campaign to raise awareness of the proposed expansion of the Ravenhall tip.

Cr Khan met the Stop the Tip group late last month, and later said it was important for Wyndham residents, especially those moving into new estates in Truganina, to know what the expansion meant for them.

If tip owner Cleanaway’s permit is approved, the landfill would be about 1.5 kilometres from the Wyndham-Melton boundary.

The state government has taken over the permit application from Melton council.

The application will be sent to an independent panel, which will consider submissions and hold public hearings, before a report is prepared for Planning Minister Richard Wynne to make the final decision.

“That doesn’t mean to say I’m opposing [the expansion], but I want to run an awareness campaign so my constituents – including those who will move into the Elements and Rothwell estates – will know that the tip will be 1.5 kilometres away,” Cr Khan said.

“It’s important that we understand what the impact will be if the expansion goes ahead.

“I’m not saying that it won’t be compliant; it could be the most compliant tip in Victoria, but there might be a potential impact on the property market … and residents’ health.”

Cr Khan’s comments come a week after Stop the Tip campaigner Marion Martin called on Wyndham council to make a submission opposing the Ravenhall tip’s expansion.

“I think the residents who are building in Elements estate should be aware of what

Seagulls circle a mountain of landfill pickings. (iStock)

they’re going to live with,” Ms Martin said.

“They’re going to move in there and all they’ll smell will be the tip.”

Wyndham council chief executive Kelly Grigsby would not comment on whether the

council will oppose the tip’s expansion.

“Staff are monitoring the progress of the development to ensure matters, such as buffer zones, environmental impacts and traffic controls, are appropriate,” she said.

Vow to fund Reclink: Labor Labor has vowed to reverse the federal government’s cuts to a national program that started in Werribee with a goal of “including the unincluded”, if elected on July 2.

Reclink Australia, launched by Werribee resident Peter Cullen 26 years ago, offers disadvantaged people more than 58,000 sports, art and recreation participation opportunities around the country.

In 2013, the Coalition government slashed funding for its programs, but Labor last week committed to new funding of $2.4 million over four years, if it wins next month’s election.

The promise follows recommendations by a Senate select committee that the government reinstate Reclink funds.

Mr Cullen said the organisation was being kept afloat without government support thanks to innovation, collaboration and a strategic approach.

“Since its inception, Reclink, with its simple, cost-effective business model, has … transformed the lives of many participants,” he said. “It is a proven model that has great reach and presents an enormous opportunity for governments, the community and corporate sector to be part of delivering positive social outcomes.”

Labor Lalor MP Joanne Ryan welcomed the news of the funding commitment.

“Reclink has a long history locally, but has grown into a national program [with] runs on the board.”

Public backs schools, not ovals

By Charlene Macaulay Williams Landing residents have called on Wyndham council to allow more than half of the land earmarked for a $5.7 million sports precinct to be used for a new school.

A recent Star Weekly article about Williams Landing Boulevard Reserve attracted a flood of comments from residents, who overwhelmingly want the council to abandon the project entirely or give up half the land for a primary or secondary school.

‘‘

I think it’s quite clear the people … would rather have - Kate a school

’’

The reserve is due to be opened later this year.

Resident Elisa said the project, including two sports ovals, was “unnecessary and absurd”.

“Considering the community is in dire need of a school, I don’t understand why the

land could not have been a shared space to incorporate both,” she said.

Kate added: “I think it’s quite clear that the people who actually live in the community would rather have a school … sporting grounds are a great addition, but schools are a necessity.”

Wyndham council chief executive Kelly Grigsby stressed that the planning and construction of schools was a state government responsibility. “With the rate of residential development occurring in Wyndham, a new primary school needs to be built every year

and a new secondary college every three to four years,” Ms Grigsby said.

“While we can appreciate that some residents would like to see the land earmarked for the Williams Landing reserve used for a school, we need to ensure that council is meeting its responsibility of providing communities with access to adequate open space.

“We would like to see a pipeline of funding allocated to growth areas such as Wyndham to ensure schools can be constructed to coincide with demand.”

Friend for stricken pets More than 650 animals were rescued last year by a western suburbs-based organisation.

The founder of Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten Rescue, Nathan Miles, said that while the majority of those animals were moggies, he’s rescued and re-homed guinea pigs, dogs, birds, ducks and chickens.

Mr Miles said the discarded animal problem was largely caused by owners refusing, or unable to afford, to desex their animals, with one animal “then becoming 20”.

In one rescue mission last year, more than 100 cats were seized from a breeder in the west.

Mr Miles said he’d seen it all.

“We’ve also dealt with hoarders … and we’ve also dealt with a lot of cases of cruelty and neglect,” Mr Miles said.

“We’ve had animals that have been bred intensively with no vet care and in horrific conditions. We’ve had animals that have had issues but had never been treated, kittens that had their legs removed, animals with eyes removed.”

Mr Miles attempts to re-home all rescued animals, but sometimes it’s not possible.

“We have a really strong emphasis on animal welfare,” he said. “We don’t want to see animals suffer … if they are suffering and there’s no chance of them being rehabilitated and living a pain-free life, unfortunately euthanasia is required.”

RSPCA Victoria chief executive Liz Walker “strongly recommended” pet owners desex their cats in a bid to reduce the number of litters being born and the rising feral cat population.

“Desexed cats are generally more affectionate and are less inclined to wander, run away or get into fights,” Dr Walker said.

“Desexed females do not experience heat cycles and males do not spray to mark their territory.”

New tower to boost mobile phone quality A new mobile phone tower has been approved for Point Cook.

Wyndham council has given the green light for Vodafone to remove at an existing 30-metre-tall light pole Featherbrook Reserve on Windorah Drive and replace it with a 35-metre communications tower.

Vodafone claims the tower will in improve mobile phone reception the area. built An equipment shelter will be next to the phone tower, which will also carry lighting.

The council has leased out the site of to Vodafone for 20 years at a rate $18,000 a year, plus GST, with a four per cent annual increase.

Cr Bob Fairclough said he understood there was community concern over the location of phone towers, particularly those near homes, but life. modern that was the reality of “Many people now rely on mobile phones and are discontinuing landlines,” he said.

“These sites have been selected pretty carefully to address the black spots in communication in these

Cr Khan argued that phone towers should be located on commercial of buildings or private land instead public open space.

Oh, for goodness sake. I know, I know – we have to reduce landfill. But the rubbish bins are small enough already. In my family, there are two people and two labradors, and we struggle sometimes. How are families going to get on? A big fat raspberry to the council!

Adrienne Edwards, via Facebook What? Our rubbish bins are bloody too small as it is! And when you have a large family and are renting, the landlord doesn’t want to pay for you to have an extra bin or a green bin. It’s ridiculous!

Alesha Hind, via Facebook Good! Time to start buying real food instead of packet food, cloth nappies instead of disposable nappies. Put all recyclable items in the recycle bins. Good start to a greener town. Like the old days.

Only flaw I see about it is [there will be] more dumping.

Star Weekly Weekly,, June 1

If you live in the City of Wyndham you need to read this. They want to raise rates and take away the tip vouchers, something that has been held dear by residents. Not a good move. What will happen is the household rubbish will go into the recycle bins and garden rubbish will end up on the side of the road. You are really smart, Wyndham council – not!

Glenn Jordan, via Facebook Pardon me, but what a load of garbage.

One of my neighbour’s bins is always full to overflowing with nappies. She has enough for three more bins each week. Where will they go?

Heather Taylor, via Facebook Well, that’s all well and good for a household with two people, but a household with four or more – it’s just

unfair. This creates rubbish dumping and incorrect rubbish in the bins. I’d like to know who came up with that idea.

Pam Collinson, via Facebook

Rates go up [yet] playgrounds and such are non-existent. Change your name to the Take More But Give Less Council.

Belinda, via www.starweekly.com.au

I don’t understand how the council expects large families to live with a smaller bin … I must stress that my family of six use both blue and yellow bins and we have a compost bin as well. Yet every week our yellow bin is filled to capacity and once a fortnight the blue bin is filled to capacity.

I understand your thought process and commend you for your plans. I do, however, urge you to think of large families and how this shall disadvantage their households and impact their way of life.

Malynda, via www.starweekly.com.au

Good in theory, but people will put it in their other bins or [those of] their neighbours if they don’t have room in their bin.

Sylvia Bencik, via Facebook

Our recycling bin is always full, but there is very little in the general waste bin. We have a green also, and compost. This is a good idea for us.

Linda and Frank Beyerle, via www.starweekly.com.au I welcome this idea of reducing the yellow bin size if the council will collect them twice a week. Reducing bin size does not help in reducing waste. This is just common sense!

Angela, via www.starweekly.com.au Once my little bucket is full, where do I start putting my non-recyclables? The bin is small enough already. Stop accepting waste from the rest of the state and the tip might last longer.

David Bushell, via Facebook Shame on you Wyndham City Council. You raise rates then reduce rubbish bin size.

Re: Council rate rise bid fails (Star Star Weekly Weekly, June 1): The answer is simple. Stop spending money like it’s going out of fashion and get the developers requesting new properties to stump up the extra cash for the additional infrastructure to service the community.

It shouldn’t be left to the existing ratepayers to fund capital projects or provide extra services for people moving to the area.

MY WYNDHAM Michael Redding’s passion is history. The Werribee resident spent much of his professional career as a history teacher and now volunteers time to the Werribee and District Historical Society. He chats with Adem Saban.

How long have you lived in Werribee?

I moved to Werribee at the end of 2008. I retired as a school teacher, so I sold my house in Newport and moved here.

What brought you to Werribee?

I’ve always been interested in history, and Werribee is one of the first locations settled in Victoria, which makes it very interesting.

We have many interesting places here, like the Halfway House, built in 1836. [The Halfway House – later called Golden Fleece – was an inn located in the area around Waterfront Boulevard and Riverside Drive, and was the only stopping place at that time between Melbourne and Geelong.]

It’s obviously not a little country town anymore, but it still has a country feeling. You get that real sense of arrival when you drive into Werribee – there’s something a bit special. We also have these amazing things like Werribee Park, with the mansion, the zoo, the State Rose Garden.

How do you spend your spare time in retirement?

I joined the historical society in 2009. I’m also involved in Rotary and I love travelling. Since retiring, I’ve been to 13 different countries.

My favourite is Vietnam. I love the country’s history and I have developed a special connection with it.

With the Rotary Club of Werribee,

(Damjan Janevski)

What do you love most about the town?

one of the things we’ve been doing is incredible … helping to make wheelchairs for disabled children and adults around the world, and many go to Vietnam.

They go to people will cerebral palsy and spina bifida.

Where’s your favourite spot in Werribee to grab a coffee?

The Coffee Pot opposite Coles is great. It has this elevated deck at the rear of the cafe … you’re surrounded by these incredible red gum

trees. I hope that one day all the shops along the back of Watton Street open up backwards over the park and river. Watton Street has a real potential to become an iconic destination of the west. I also love Wyndham Cache in Werribee South.

Moves to affiliate Wyndham School for Mentally Retarded Children with the Education Department should result in earlier completion of the total complex.

Such an affiliation would relieve the committee of staffing and administration costs and enable them to press ahead with plans for completion. Early talks with the department have received a favourable reception and … the changeover could take place for the 1977 school year.

Werribee hospital will almost double in size under recommendations to the Victorian Government. Werribee MLA Dr Ken Coghill told The Banner that the recommendations were part of a review of health services in the west prepared by consultants and released last week for public comment.

Wyndham heroin users need a local methadone program to help them kick their addiction, says Werribee MP Mary Gillett. Twelve pharmacists and three doctors in the western metropolitan region can prescribe treatment for heroin users on the methadone program. Another six will qualify this year. None are in Wyndham.

A Werribee man who kept about 24,500 images and 60 videos of “depraved” child porn, including some depicting babies, was jailed for 12 months at Werribee Magistrates Court last week.

David Brittain, 41, who pleaded guilty to knowingly possessing child pornography was released pending appeal. Brittain’s hand shook as he appeared before magistrate Frank Jones with his heavily pregnant wife by his side.

Golden girl Loudy still on board

By Alexandra Laskie About 10 years ago, Loudy Wiggins was celebrating double gold at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

The then 26-year-old Loudy Tourky had performed the dive of the competition to charge past teammate Chantelle Newbery on her last attempt from the nerve-wracking 10-metre platform.

The young diver had won bronze at the Sydney Olympics six years earlier, in 10-metre synchronised diving, and bronze in Athens in the individual 10-metre platform in 2004 .

She would go on to compete in the London Olympics, aged 33, the oldest diver in the field and about 17 years after her first Olympic appearance as a 16-year-old – the youngest diver selected on an Australian Olympic team – at the 1996 Atlanta Games.

Looking back on the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Loudy says it was adrenalin that helped her out-dive her competitors. “I was injured going into the games, and it looked like I wasn’t going to compete, but I was pretty headstrong and perhaps a little delusional back then,� she says. “I had three torn ligaments and bone bruising in my ankle just 17 days before the competition. But I managed to get through on adrenalin, which took away the pain, and to come away with two gold medals was a whirlwind experience, an amazing one.�

At the time, Loudy was living at Taylors Lakes with her partner and now husband Simon Wiggins, a former Carlton Football Club player.

After her hometown podium finishes, she took a 14-month sabbatical from the sport before returning to chase selection for the Beijing Olympics. She was ruled out at the 11th

hour due to a calf muscle injury, sustained at the Olympic selection trials in Hobart just four months out from the games.

A devastated Loudy retired from the sport and began work in advertising for Fairfax.

It was while on maternity leave with her first child, Layla, then seven months old, that Loudy found herself back on the platform with a fourth Olympic appearance in sight.

Despite three years in retirement, Loudy made the Australian Olympic diving team for a fourth time and went to London, where she narrowly missed a medal in the 10-metre

synchronised event with partner Rachel Bugg.

The pair finished fourth.

That’s when she retired a second time, not because she couldn’t keep going, she says, but for her young family.

“It’s different to be a working mother because I frequently had to travel [to compete]. It becomes a sacrifice and I didn’t want to sacrifice that time with my daughter. If you’re pushing 29 in diving, you’re considered a veteran,� she says.

If you’re pushing 29 in diving, you’re considered a - Loudy Wiggins veteran

“It’s really hard on the body; you don’t make a lot of money and you study at the same time [Loudy completed a Bachelor of Arts (media and communications) at The University of Sydney].”

’’

After officially retiring in 2012, she started a personal training and fitness business called Loudy Wiggins Fitness at Moonee Ponds, near where the family now lives.

“A lot of athletes think that sport is the best thing they’ve ever achieved,” Loudy says.

“But I feel like I’ve reinvented myself. When an athlete retires from sport, there’s a void, and running a business has filled that for me.”

But she admits to missing the adrenaline rush of being a professional athlete.

“Jumping off a three-storey building gives you a serious adrenaline rush – I miss that.”

Now Loudy divides her time between looking after Layla, 5, and Alexander, 2, training her own clients from the Victorian Institute of Sport, where she’s a diving program manager, and sitting on the Australian Olympic Committee Athletes Commission.

And while you won’t see her on the diving board at this year’s Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she’ll be analysing from the sidelines as part of Channel 7’s commentary team.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, she’s toying with the idea of competing in an upcoming Pan Pacific Masters Games.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir hems and haws over a Flemington eatery Hem is Vietnamese for alley.

The new Vietnamese restaurant at the showground shopping centre is in shop 27, hence Hem 27. But that simple explanation tells only part of the story.

There has been a lot of thought and time put into the renovation of this space to provide a zippy, cheap eatery with some of the ambience of a Saigon alleyway.

Like just about all the westies we know, we eat a lot of Vietnamese food. So when a new place opens – Hem 27 has been doing business for about a month – the scanning of the menu for new, different and interesting dishes is of the reflex variety. At Hem 27, we strike it deliciously rich.

Sure, the longish menu has such stalwart Vietnamese regulars as pho and rice paper rolls. But there’s so much more!

Chicken spare ribs (suon ga chien; six for $6.80) are every bit as good as we expect.

Excellent, in fact – crisp, superbly fried with no residue oil, and tasty.

Nui xo bao bit ten trung ($15.80) is a version of diced beef, but with pan-fried macaroni instead of tomato rice.

The pasta is a rolled-gold kick. Perhaps cooked with the same tomatoey sauce as the rice in the more familiar version, it comes with a hefty quotient of wok hei.

Oh, splendid yumminess – I could eat this pasta all by itself. For breakfast.

The gooey fried egg fits right in and the beef is so good, in tenderness and flavour.

HEM 27 Address: Shop 27, 320-380 Epsom Road, Flemington Phone: 9376 2961 Bun ra gi ca ($11.80) is coconut curry chicken noodle soup.

It’s a bit more spicy and richer in colour and flavour than most Vietnamese chicken curries I’ve tried. The chicken bits are OK but play second fiddle to the wonderful chunks of sweet potato so well cooked they are on the verge of becoming part of the sauce.

Ca kho to ($18) is Vietnamese caramelised braised fish in a clay pot, and it’s a killer.

When this dish arrives at our table, I find the rising aromas a little confronting, but the eating and tasting dispels all doubt – this is a lusty, rich stunner.

The fish – basa (a sort-of Vietnamese catfish also know as swai) – is extremely well cooked and falling apart at the first touch of eating implements, but it’s all good and the dish’s consumption elicits much ooh-ing and aah-ing.

Not everything tried at Hem 27 was found to be totally persuasive, but we dig the whole place.

The service was fine – thanks, Mindy! And there’s a whole lot more on that menu to try.

Make your vote count this federal election Saturday 2 July At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly.

On the large white Senate ballot paper, you can choose to vote either above or below the line.

If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.

If you choose to vote below the line, you need to number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice.

Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed.

On the green ballot paper, you need to number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box.

The DOC Clinic

302 Heaths Road, Hoppers Crossing.

Inquiries: 9021 6022 or visit www.thedoc.com.au. r Ed Omarjee marked his first day at his new purpose-built cosmetic clinic, The DOC Clinic, in Hoppers Crossing in an unexpected way.

He planned on presenting himself to patients in a crisp, white shirt but wound up in a Bonds white T-shirt instead.

“Not quite the right look, and not the best start to a new cosmetic medicine business,” says Dr Omarjee. “The latte I always grab before work spilt all over me. I had to dash to Coles and buy a tee while my shirt was drying.”

In spite of an inauspicious start, Dr Omarjee is making a great success of The DOC Clinic, which he opened in February after working for more than five years in the Wyndham and Hobsons Bay areas.

After completing his training at the University of Tasmania, Dr Omarjee was a Royal Australian College of Surgeons surgical trainee at the Alfred Hospital. He became a Fellow with the Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners in 2006, then pursued his passion in Phlebology/Sclerotherapy (the study and treatment of venous varicose and spider veins of the legs), and cosmetic medicine, and is now a member of several colleges including the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia and the Australian and New Zealand College of Phlebology.

“Looking ahead, I’m hoping to provide exciting new techniques in anti-ageing and rejuvenation. The field of cosmetic medicine is changing rapidly, with the new lasers now being researched and released getting better and better. More and more people are turning towards non-surgical face and body rejuvenation,” Dr Omarjee says.

“The hot topic right now in aesthetic medicine is the use of autologous (patient’s own) stem cells and growth factors. We hope to provide this soon in the form of Factor4 – watch this space.”

The clinic provides a large menu of services, including varicose vein treatments; examination, removal of and biopsies for moles and skin lesions; anti-wrinkle injections; dermal fillers; laser facial rejuvenation (Fraxel), laser hair removal and tattoo removal.

“I love what I do,” continues Dr Omarjee, “and pride myself on giving my patients honest assessments, professional treatments and excellent follow-ups. I love the challenge of meeting every patient as a distinct individual with their own needs and qualities. I find it a privilege to be able to assist them to achieve their goals of good health and wellbeing.”

Opens 9am-5pm Tuesday-Wednesday; noon-8pm Thursday-Friday; and 10am-3pm every second Saturday.

achlan McDowell thrives on a challenge, whether in his role as gym co-ordinator at WynActive’s Eagle Stadium or in the outdoor activities he loves.

“I recently trekked to base camp at Mount Everest,” Lachlan says, “and it went really well. Having the WynActive facility as a place to train leading up to this really helped me to achieve my goal.

“My regular role as gym co-ordinator gives me plenty of challenges, there’s always something new to learn and to pass onto our clients. I just want to continue growing in experience and look for innovative ways to help people achieve their fitness and wellness goals.”

Lachlan began his career with WynActive’s first facility, AqualPulse, in June last year before moving into his present position. He’s experiencing success with his clients and is particularly chuffed with a recent success story.

“I’ve been working with one of my clients, since the beginning [and their] ability to put their mind to reaching goals has been very inspiring. They’ve now lost more than 30 kilograms – incredibly satisfying for both of us.”

Lachlan reckons there’s no such thing as a “typical day” in his role.

“Every day and every client is different.

The fact that no two clients are the same, and goal and challenges set are so diverse, makes my job a great one, really rewarding.

The fitness industry is fast-paced and has you on your toes all the time.

“My day is filled with working with members to reach their health and fitness objectives.

I also work alongside a team of fitness professionals and ensure our state-of-the-art equipment is in tip-top order for members and guests. We actually have some of the best and most varied equipment around so everyone will find something just right for their needs.”

Stage 2 of Eagle Stadium opens on June 14 and memberships are now on sale.

Opens 6am-11pm Monday-Friday and 8am-10pm Saturday-Sunday.

Tonia T Boutique Hoppers Superclinic 599 Sayers Road, Hoppers Crossing.

Inquiries: 9749 4611 General practitioner, Shirin Motaman (with fellowship training), is an important cog in the wheel of Hoppers Superclinic, taking her place in an expert team of seven other doctors and a nurse.

Dr Motaman has been with the practice for nearly three years and finds her career a very rewarding one.

“Hoppers Superclinic recently opened the first women’s health clinic in the western suburbs. Women’s health (from puberty to post-menopause) is an area I specialise in, as do two other female GPs here,” she says. “It’s a very rewarding sector in which to work, and I particularly like to see patients continue their treatment under my guidance.

We get to know each other better, which can only help achieve best outcomes.”

She is also experienced in pre- and post-preganancy and breastfeeding counselling and post-natal depression.

Another special interest of the doctor is preventative health care.

“Chronic disease management gives me much satisfaction and our patients have the benefits of team care and mental health plans which set out pathways to successful treatment and link our patients with other care providers where needed.

“Every patient is different so taking into consideration family attitudes, occupation and lifestyle is vital – it’s not just about treating symptoms as presented.”

When Doctor Motaman can carve out time away from her busy career – she consults during the day and evenings in order to meet her community’s growing demands – she loves socialising with friends, going for a swim or having a hit of tennis.

The Superclinic has an extensive services menu that includes immunisations and travel vaccines; health checks for all ages; pap smears and STI checks; family-planning (Implanon and Mirena IUD are available); diabetes management; ECGs and spirometry (asthma management); and all medicals (including for drivers).

Under the one roof, health services include a weight-loss clinic, podiatrists, physiotherapists, a dietician, diabetic educator, gynaecologist and obstetrician and a psychologist. A pharmacy and pathology and radiology practices are also on site.

Languages spoken among the doctors include Farsi, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Serbian and Polish.

Her mother owned three fashion boutiques as she was growing up, so Tonia Tribe had a head start in developing her savvy approach to fashion for the over-40s woman.

Owner of Tonia T Boutique in Werribee and Geelong, Tonia runs her fashion store with much panache. It is full of interesting, good-quality clothing, with carefully selected pieces – from great jeans to a beautiful wedding outfit.

“We also have accessories, shoes and homewares. Our shop is geared around making it special – an adventure – for our customers, a place to browse through lots of nice things.

“And we loving helping our ladies find the perfect look. We’re almost like personal stylists, and we love to create a sense of fun and laughter when people come into the shop. We’re honest with our opinions and we find women respond to this so well. It gives us a kick and our customers leave with a look they know is just right for them.”

Following her mother’s passing when she was 20, Tonia travelled then went to university.

Lots of high-end retail and fashion agency experience followed before opening a lingerie boutique in Williamstown.

“It was very clear to me, though, that my home town needed a classic yet contemporary boutique for the discerning shopper, so after a good chat with my dad, I launched Tonia T Boutique and haven’t really looked back.

In fact, we just keep growing and evolving to ensure the shopping experience for each client is a good one.”

Innovative and hands-on as a businesswoman, Tonia has a great Winter clothing range to explore, and a team ready with as much advice as needed – and a good laugh as a side-serving.

Driving fatigued or drugged, it’s a mug’s game It’s that time of year again. And with June 10 marking the start of the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, police are urging drivers to take it easy on the roads.

Operation Regal 2016 is a statewide police operation, aimed at reducing road trauma by increasing driver awareness and the benefit of planning your journey.

Road policing adviser Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge says the operation will run over the entire weekend, and all police personnel will be used to help reduce road-related deaths.

“The approach is aimed at targeting the five facts which contribute to road trauma … speed, driver impairment, distraction, fatigue and seatbelts,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge said.

“Motorists are urged to stay within the speed limit. Don’t drink alcohol or take drugs and drive. Leave mobile phones out of reach. Wear seatbelts and make sure you are well-rested.”

With fatigue being one of the biggest killers on Victorian roads, planning your journey is an essential component of safe driving.

“Drivers are requested to plan their trip, be patient and take a 15-minute break at least every two hours, and never drive when tired,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge said.

RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings said statistics proved that speeding was a contributing factor in most road accidents. “Speeding increases both the risk of a crash and the severity of injuries sustained.”

Mr Giddings said raise awareness of the community.

“Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die,” he said. “It’s about the enormous impact they have on the community … from family members, to the emergency service workers who have to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones. The community has the responsibility and everyone has a role to play in reducing road trauma.”

Before embarking on a trip, ensure you have checked your tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights.

Many lame dogs have more in common with AFL footballers than you’d think.

At our vet clinic we frequently examine dogs that are suddenly limping or sore in one of their (back) legs. Often the diagnosis is a damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee joint, the same injury footballers can suffer.

The ACL consists of a tough fibrous band connecting the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). Rupture or straining of this ligament causes an unstable and painful knee joint and eventually leads to bony changes called arthritis.

Active, overweight and middle-aged dogs are probably at highest risk of cruciate disease, although any pet, including cats, can be affected. The owner often notices a sudden lameness in their pet after running, jumping or playing, but sometimes the signs are more gradual over days or weeks.

Treatment will depend on the severity of the lameness, the size of the pet and normal activity levels. Smaller dogs, under 10kg bodyweight, will often recover well with strict rest, anti-inflammatory medication and a course of arthritis injections. Larger pets will typically require major orthopaedic surgery to repair and stabilise the knee joint.

our high achievers

“the growth of new staff members is the most rewarding part of what we do”

Meet Donald McKillop When Donald McKillop started out as a young, enthusiastic salesperson in the property industry nearly 25 years ago, he didn’t imagine he’d wind up directing three Barry Plant agencies – in Werribee, Tarneit and Torquay – with partner Rick O’Halloran.

For a short time along the way, he moved away from real estate, returning when he fully realised where his passion lay.

Working his way from the ground up and 10 years into his property career, Donald opened his first office, Barry Plant in Werribee, the brand he’s been with since its beginning.

“This completed a dream for me,” Donald says “and I’d call it my greatest achievement. And I got there through lots of hard work, tenaciousness and always with a drive for a great result. I think all successful salespeople have these traits and they’re what I try to inspire in teams across our three offices.”

The quality of empathy also defines Donald, which gives him an insight into how clients are feeling through any part of a sales, purchase or lease. It also colours his mentorship of his staff, a part of his role Donald enjoys most and is held in high regard by recipients.

“Being able to watch, guide, teach and participate in the growth of new staff members is the most rewarding part of what I do. Part of my training of them is to have them understand that genuine care for their clients’ feelings is a must, it allows trust and will ultimately make a generally stressful time much easier.

“Seeing them become outstanding sales and rental agents is great … I’ve worked with some wonderful people.

Some of my most successful staff have started with me having had no real estate experience before; it’s exciting to be able to give everyone in our offices a career path.”

Donald and his Werribee team’s award tally is stellar. Among the list are Office with Highest Sales 2007-10; Office with Highest Private sales 2007-10; Top 10 Office 2007-12; and finalist in Property Management Department of the Year 2010.

Meet Rick O’Halloran He may have won more corporate awards than any other agent across the Australia-wide Barry Plant network, but Rick O’Halloran counts as his best achievement the opening of his own Barry Plant office in Tarneit four years ago, following his nine years in sales at the Werribee branch.

Now co-director of Tarneit and Werribee offices, Rick spends valuable time with his sales teams at both sites, training and mentoring them and developing their skills, along with managing and servicing his own huge client list.

“Since stepping up from a sales role, my day-to-day work takes me in many directions – such as board meetings, managing staff and maintaining connections with our sponsorships,” Rick says. “And I love every bit of it. I remember hearing the saying years ago – “I don’t go to work, because I’m lucky enough to do what I love all day, every day” – and it’s always struck a real chord with me.”

There is one thing he doesn’t love though: “I find it hard to shut off and, with such a hectic schedule, sometimes it’s all I want,” he laughs.

Staying ‘switched on’, though, has enabled Rick to win all those impressive awards. He’s received for the past 10 consecutive years the Top Lister award, and seven Top Seller awards since 2007.

Six Top Achiever awards, another six in Diamond Club awards, and the Top Performer award in 2010 and 2012 – this is seriously ‘high achiever’ stuff.

Asked what he believes the kind of temperament a top agent needs, Rick says adaptation and connection are essential.

“We need to adapt quickly to our surroundings and be able to connect with all kinds of people. An ability to quickly tune into a client’s feelings and the way they think and express themselves is also super-important. Really listening and ‘hearing’ what a client wants and needs is the gateway to a smooth process and strong affiliation.

“I reckon my personality, temperament and character are built on timeless principles: valuing hard work and expertise, and having loyalty, passion and true energy to serve others.”

Rick, who also co-directs Barry Plant Torquay, has run into a few real estate legends over the years and has learnt something every time. He also values the real estate coaching styles of industry leaders Josh Phegan and Tom Panos, and counts them as mentors.

our high achievers Meet Matthew Howden His clients call him a straight shooter, a description that sales manager Matthew Howden feels suits him. He finds that most people prefer it that way.

“I don’t beat about the bush,” Matthew says. “I give my clients honest, straightforward advice, guidance and opinions and they seem to relate to my approach.

“When I work with clients, they quickly understand that I’m ‘on their side’ and it’s about the best outcomes for them.”

Another aspect of his job that he values immensely is developing and interacting with his sales team.

“I want to see each of my team fulfil their full potential and establish their industry credentials, so developing their skills and supporting them to perform at the highest level is both an essential and enjoyable part of my job.”

Starting his working life in a corporate environment, Matthew learnt that exceptional customer service is key to success in any business.

“The philosophy of keeping focused on client needs certainly stayed with me after I transitioned into real estate. It’s paramount in a competitive environment where vendors and purchasers can choose any agent they want.

I want to stand out – for level of service, trustworthiness, professionalism, honesty and just down-to-earth friendliness.”

A Wyndham lad born and bred, Matthew is known as an excellent communicator and has finely honed negotiation skills. His vast knowledge of Werribee and surrounding suburbs ideally positions him to find the right buyer for a property.

In six years with Barry Plant Matthew has many awards to his credit, having in the past 18 months won the Outstanding Performance award in four of the past five quarters.

Meet Anthony Pisano Since joining the Barry Plant Werribee team two years ago, sales professional Anthony Pisano has certainly cemented himself as an up-and-coming player within the Wyndham real estate community.

During this time, Anthony has had the opportunity to meet and work with many wonderful people, both sellers and buyers alike.

“Looking after my clients’ needs, meeting their expectations and assisting them to understand how the buying and selling process works is certainly what brings me the most satisfaction in my role,” Anthony says.

“I know it can sound like a cliché but I believe I really do ‘go the extra mile’.”

sales manager at our agency, has given me excellent advice, support and guidance.”

Having grown up in Werribee, Anthony’s knowledge of the City of Wyndham is extensive.

“As you would appreciate, this is a great resource for many newcomers to our area when wanting to get an understanding of the various residential precincts,” Anthony says.

“Having the ability to think outside the box certainly helps me match properties to the right clients.”

“I’ve had the benefit of fantastic training, a core focus in Barry Plant, which is a major component of what makes our brand so successful.

“I am lucky to work alongside outstanding people. Matthew Howden, the

Meet Brett Ritchie Sales professional Brett Ritchie has been with Barry Plant Werribee for just a year, but he’s already making a name for himself.

His hard work is paying off – he was chuffed to receive the Most Improved award for 2015s final quarter, a strong signal he’s heading in the right direction.

Brett has a clear idea about what kind of agent he aims to be.

“I know real estate agents can sometimes be seen as ‘overly persistent’ but that’s not my style,” Brett says. “I believe our industry as a whole needs to move away from ‘hounder’ mentality to simply being there, alongside clients, steering them through the entire process.

“I’m persistent when it comes to getting outstanding results and I’m persistent about giving industry-best service to my clients, but I remain respectful of their space, time and personal feelings.”

Brett’s role includes helping buyers find exactly the right property for them.

“To see a young couple get their dream first home, and be a key part of that, is always exciting and fulfilling. Or to direct retirees to their new nest, to see a big family get the space they needed at a price beyond expectations … to share in that is a great feeling.”

He reckons not being able to spend as much time with his family as he’d like is a downside to his job, but it makes it worthwhile when he experiences success – which they share in.

But a definite upside is the kind of training and mentoring he gets from his directors Rick O’Halloran and Donald McKillop.

“These men have an incredible depth of knowledge which I can always tap into, and a deep commitment to our Barry Plant branding, a force in the industry that I’m very proud to be part of.”

Meet Steven Spiteri As a young kid, Steven Spiteri loved visiting display homes with his parents and watched with wide eyes as they went through the whole process of selling and buying property. It sparked something in him.

“I knew once I left school I wanted to be in the real estate game, where some of my friends already worked,” Steven says. “I love the excitement and the passion, and building rapport with all kinds of people.”

Steven’s been in real estate for six years. Although a youngster of 26, he’s already racked up several Top 10 Salesmen recognitions from an Australia-wide competition pool.

He’s also won respect from many big developers who have confidently placed a large number of listings under his management. But he’s just as interested in and focused on getting outstanding results for all clients, from older couples looking for a retirement nest and singles wanting an apartment investment to young first-home buyers and vendors who want

the red-carpet experience.

“I bought my first home in Tarneit four years ago, and that let me see things from the ‘other side’ even more clearly. I’ve always been a people person and I see my role as forming a bridge for clients between what they hope for and expect to signing on the dotted line and beyond. In the end, it’s all about building relationships, lots of hard work and doing the right thing by everyone.”

He must be making his clients very happy because last year he won Agent of Choice Award from a well-known external rating agency. This effectively means it was the positivity and amount of feedback from his clients that placed Steven at the highest pegging.

He likes dropping a line on Port Phillip Bay with his dad and brother, and travelling when he can. Seeing the Great Barrier Reef with his partner last October was a recent highlight.

our high achievers Meet Christine Wilkins After working for more than 30 years in the legal, human resources and property law fields, Chris Wilkins joined Barry Plant as the new operations manager with the knowledge that their professional, friendly culture and being part of an innovative industry brand would fit her perfectly.

Chris says that with the Barry Plant reach growing all the time, under directors Rick O’Halloran and Donald McKillop, a need for her particular skills was recognised.

“Mine is a new role, possibly the first of its kind in the local real estate area,” Chris says.

“It’s typical of Donald and Rick to be at the cutting edge and to be along for the journey is exciting.

“We have many staff across three offices – Werribee, Tarneit and Torquay – so my part is to manage the administration team and be a go-to person for any staff or client concerns or needs. I also have close interaction with the directors and help with day-to-day operations.”

Married, with a son, to Michael (a local of 30 years), Chris likes spending her me-time decorating cakes.

“It takes me to a peaceful place, of mindfulness, and is a great way to step away from the challenges, high-level energy and any stress a day might bring. Because my role is so people-focused – which I love – it’s important to stay centred and calm and to be a good listener. I’m an intermediary, mediator, legal/human resources adviser, administrator and assistant rolled into one!”

Chris, who worked in Werribee in the early ‘90s in the property law sector, believes her role may open up a new career pathway in the industry.

“We’re not all made for sales but we may have a strong interest in an industry that’s vibrant and evolving, and offers a chance to mingle with lots of different people and be a contributor to a team’s success – not measured by sales results, but by creative input, knowledge and response to requirements.”

Meet Vedika Babbar By the time Vedika Babbar had clocked up a year at Barry Plant Tarneit, she had won the Outstanding Performance award for the first quarter of 2015 and, six months later, had a Director’s Recognition award in hand.

Vedika was very pleased to get her awards but reckons helping people during the selling or buying process is the most pleasing part of her role.

“To actively participate in one of the most important decisions in a client’s life is a real privilege – and a responsibility. I know they need guidance they can rely on,” she says, “and I’m proud of the knowledge I’ve gained that I can pass on, giving clients peace about decisions and a trust in me that I will look after them every step of the way.

“Our director, Rick O’Halloran, and branch manager Reece Beckley, have really taken the time to teach me real estate craft – and I’m very appreciative.

“We’re a strong team, led by fantastic people who’ve had years in the industry.”

Vedika believes the key traits of a successful agent include hard work, trustworthiness, knowledge and friendliness.

“But most important is to listen and to understand the needs and emotions involved. It can be stressful for clients but I aim to make it as smooth as possible.”

Meet Leslie Goodwin Senior sales professional Leslie Goodwin is happy to say his mum is his most valued mentor.

A local since birth, Leslie has a well-known mother who was mayor of Wyndham, but before that she was a campaigner on behalf of her playgroup.

This same community-mindedness and rich social connection, along with his knowledge of the wider region, has contributed to the success of Leslie’s 12-year career with Barry Plant.

Leslie’s background is in marketing which he says is a handy skill to benefit his clients.

“I have a bit of a creative flair, which led me into marketing before I knew it was real estate for me,” he says. “It helps me visualise a marketing campaign and, because I love a chat about all things real estate, I’m able to explain the process so the client is on board with it.”

Last year’s winner of the Directors Recognition award, he also has an extensive sporting history, at local and state levels.

This, too, has helped him set the course to performing at a high level.

“I reckon the attributes and traits that go to make a good sportsman are totally transferrable to the property industry. Both are focused on goal settings that grow as you grow and achieve, and there’s always a striving to develop and improve.”

Another quality he maintains as a significant one is being able to ride the highs and lows.

“I get to meet different people every day … and enter into their lives, so keeping relaxed and going with the flow is going to affect me and my clients positively. Highs come in this industry but so can disappointments which you just ride out … then set the next goal.

“Hard work, like any rewarding endeavour, is key to success, as are a friendly personality, reliability, trustworthiness and confidence in self, knowledge and product.”

Meet Mitin Arora Senior sales professional and auctioneer Mitin Arora believes that gaining the trust and confidence of his many clients is the major accomplishment in his past four years with Barry Plant Tarneit, although he’s collected his share of awards along the way.

and integrity a given. I’m involved with them every step of the way, from advice about property presentation, negotiating the right price for them and the market, and using creative ways to draw attention to their house as a prospect.”

“It’s always great to win awards, particularly when your industry peers acknowledge an achievement,” Mitin says, “but to know my clients trust me to get the job done well is very rewarding. I think they quickly recognise that I’m able to steer them through the process and answer any questions openly and honestly, and can tap into the knowledge I have of the property market.”

He gives the same level of attention to landlords and buyers, with a strong awareness that they’re generally dealing with one of life’s important events.

Mitin has built an extensive client base, many of which have been referred to him by people very content with past service.

“I make sure I do the right thing by all my clients, with the basics of honesty 38 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 8, 2016

“To guide them through this and see them get results beyond what they expect is always a real pleasure.

“We’re dealing with people’s biggest material assets and all the emotions that surround that. People come first and we’re all different. I try to meet each client where they’re at, then work together to get results. And, along the way, there can be lots of fun and laughter – the priceless part of my job.”

our high achievers Meet Adam Bindra Director Rick O’Halloran and branch manager Reece Beckley get regular kudos from their staff and Adam Bindra, after just three months under their guidance, is one of them.

I’m not one to sugar-coat the price of a property just to get a listing. I give upfront advice because I hate seeing properties languish on the market for being over-priced. And I don’t like to give vendors false hopes.

“Rick and Reece have been great,” says Adam, a sales professional in Barry Plant Tarneit. I’m working with one of the very best real estate outfits, under a very successful and widely known director. I reckon that’s already a big achievement.”

“No two days are alike in this industry. Every day has its rewards and challenges and every day I meet great people.”

Adam sees real estate as a long-term game, so believes patience is a must.

One of the things Adam likes best in his busy days spent listing and selling, managing his client list, negotiations, and marketing properties, is that every day is different.

“It’s being able to see where you’re headed though it might be down the track. You need to be patient with the process and be a calming presence for clients. You need to be a good communicator and a good listener. Area knowledge is important and so is a willingness to work long hours.”

“I get to meet all kinds of people and help them get the results they want.

And the least enjoyable bit? “Rejections, but I’m ready for them, too.”

Meet Sim Dhillon Sales professional Sim Dhillon, who has been with Barry Plant Tarneit for four months, has found that hearing and being an integral part of the back stories to clients decisions to buy or sell is the most rewarding part of his job.

contracts. He also has a high level of contact with builders, conveyancers, valuers and local government staff.

“I love seeing people truly happy with the outcome I worked on getting for them, in probably the biggest transaction of their lives.

“One of the most important parts of my role is being able to connect with all different kinds of people, and service them in a way that matches their needs.”

“Seeing an older couple downsize to an apartment and their thrill when a young couple buys their old home with plans of bringing up kids there, just as they did … or the young married couple buying their first home, excited about their future together. That’s rewarding stuff!”

Sim’s busy days include interviewing prospective clients, going to property sites with clients, discussions around conditions of sale and drawing up

Sim says he loves the industry and is driven by an ethic of hard work.

Being given the chance to work at Wyndham’s number one agency is an achievement Sim claims as his best so far.

“Our director, Rick, has been a great mentor for me, and I also learn a lot from real estate coach Tom Panos. And I like the different approach Zed Nasheet takes to marketing and selling principles.”

Meet Nick Virgona Nick Virgona has been, for the past year, lending his support as personal assistant to director Rick O’Halloran, senior sales professional Leslie Goodwin and sales professional/auctioneer Mitin Arora.

As his job title suggests, Nick is all about helping and facilitating the real estate process, whether for his trio of managers or clients.

“My aim is to always look after our clients at a premium level, applying strong attention to detail and using my negotiation skills and market knowledge to make it as hassle-free as possible.

“I love my job where no two days are ever the same. I get to meet people from all walks of life and am part of their decision-making. Knowing that my advice and hard work will pay off is very rewarding, especially when I know they’ll get a lifetime of family memories from their new property.”

As a relative newbie to the industry, Nick believes his biggest achievements are ahead of him.

“But every day in real estate gives me a chance to help those around me – that’s something I really enjoy and is an achievement in itself.”

Rick O’Halloran and branch manager Reece Beckley are acknowledged as having a real influence on Nick’s career.

“I’ve had many people in my life, inside and outside the industry, who have helped me and the chance to work alongside the best is inspiring.”

Nick reckons the most important part of his role is an ability to listen to needs.

“This seems to come naturally to me. I remember what a client says during the process and take note of their feelings and thinking so I can best match my service to needs.

“I think key traits of a successful agent are an ability to work hard, honesty and reliability, friendliness and knowledge of the local and wider market.”

Meet Petar Krnjeta After two years with Barry Plant, Petar Krnjeta already has his eye on the prize.

Last month, Petar gained a Novinee Auctioneer award, the first giant step in becoming an expert in the field. He sees his future as a skilled auctioneer adding considerably to the benefits his clients already receive in his role as sales agent.

“The number of property auctions in our area has increased dramatically,” Petar says, “and because it’s an aspect I love and feel suits my personality and communication skills, I’m looking forward to riding the new wave.”

During his two-year tenure, Petar has served his “apprenticeship” by assisting his directors and other staff, while managing his own clients and prospecting for new listings. He loves it all, he says.

Petar reckons his ability to connect with people, getting along with all kinds, his ‘gift of the honest gab’ and a bagful of energy are a big help in his career.

“An auction is a nerve-wracking event for everyone – for my client, buyers and me. But getting a clear picture of what my client needs and hopes for, becoming familiar with potential buyers during the marketing campaign, and an ability to read the crowd all set the auction up for the best chance of success.

“I like fronting a group of people, building a rapport with them through humour or painting the picture of the lifestyle they could have from a particular property. And when you have more than one bidder, the emotions and energy level are really something.”

Petar, 21, also understands the importance of teamwork – with clients and staff – in winning best prices and outcomes.

“I was captain of the footy team at school and played in Victorian title matches – this taught me heaps about working together towards a goal and getting the best out of myself and others. And having a good sense of humour is an essential.”

our high achiever Meet Scott Perry A leisure time interest in rugby union and Formula 1 may suggest that Scott Perry values close teamwork and the high-energy thrill of a competitive win.

As director of hockingstuart’s Point Cook office, Scott says he does indeed thrive on the thrill of a sale and working in collaboration with his team of property specialists.

“I love every single part of my job, but the biggest thrill and adrenaline rush comes from blowing the socks off my vendors by achieving a record price,” Scott says.

“But this is only achieved by doing our ‘hockingstuart thing’ – that is, keeping clients in the loop every step of the way, offering honest advice and guidance and formulating a professional, well-targeted campaign aimed at getting optimum outcomes.”

Scott spent six years in the British Army and worked as a BMW diagnostic technician before pursuing his stellar real estate career.

“Both those roles required discipline, acute attention to detail, an enterprising predisposition and an ability to focus on and successfully complete an assignment. I’ve always been an approachable type and able to relate well to all kinds of people, but those earlier-learnt skills also transfer well to the real estate industry.”

Hierarchy at hockingstuart recognised Scott’s achievements when he took out Sales Rookie of the Year and Best Newcomer to the Sales Club for 2014.

And, in turn, Scott is keen to acknowledge hockingstuart’s exceptional marketing resources, six-star service and proven track record.

“I’m very happy to represent Victoria’s most successful real estate network.”

Point Cook, Sanctuary Lakes and Williams Landing are areas within Scott’s territory. “These suburbs show a consistent upward trajectory in sale prices and are very sought-after areas. City proximity, a diverse mix of housing stock, and excellent access to services, major shops and schools appeal to a broad buyer base, while our vendors continue to get satisfying sales results.”

our high achievers

Meet Andrew Cruickshank As a 14-year-old, Andrew Cruickshank observed the process of his parents’ family home selling and was instantly hooked on the whole real estate thing.

After finishing his schooling, he couldn’t wait to launch his property career.

“I completed VCE at Mackillop [Catholic Regional College], then was champing at the bit to get started,” Andrew says. “I grew up in Wyndham so it made sense to kick off in the areas I know best, so I sold property around Werribee, Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Truganina – and places in between.

“Five years ago, I joined Westwood First National and came under the outstanding mentorship of Bob Westwood, who is one of the most respected real estate agents in the City of Wyndham and has been for over 40 years.

Bob’s a walking encyclopedia of real estate knowledge and I’m inspired by his approach to the game.”

Last year, Andrew was the RateMyAgent award winner for Most Recommended Agent in Werribee, and retains his number one ranking today. He also got silver and gold awards in the First National Real Estate awards for Combined Commission in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Easy-going and gregarious, Andrew says he loves meeting and talking to clients, getting to know what’s in their minds so they can work together, and always be on the same page.

“I work hard for my vendors and, although I’m a relaxed kind of person, I never lose sight of getting the best possible results. I always give honest advice to my clients and I’m relentlessly persistent in achieving goals.”

Andrew, who has recently announced his engagement to Adrienne and is looking forward to their wedding in October, is happy to concede that the ‘best bit’ of his job is achieving record prices and regularly exceeding his vendor’s expectations.

“The biggest buzz is getting a result way beyond client expectations, especially if that also smashes records. I’ve experienced this many times but it never loses its thrill.”

0423 248 703

“The biggest buzz is getting a result” Meet Trish Farquer Trish Farquer’s tongue-in-cheek response on being asked to name areas she looks after as a real estate sales consultant seems a good indication of the enthusiasm, drive and open-mindedness that marks her personal consultancy style – and explains the success she’s achieved in the past eleven years.

“Wyndham and anything I can get my hands on!” was Trish’s answer.

“I’m a people person and I really do care about them. Whether they’re a vendor or a buyer, I focus on their particular needs, particularly in getting the best possible price. But along the way, I’m careful to be considerate, try not to interrupt clients’ daily routines, and I always keep their privacy and security in mind.”

Trish believes being a Werribee local for most of her life is a real asset in her career.

“My experience with clients has really shown me how having lots of local knowledge and being able to share fond memories with them builds rapport very quickly. It’s friendly and relaxed, but always professional and fully focused on the best result.”

Trish’s go-getter, people-oriented attitude has won her a long list of industry gongs, including five silver awards for Outstanding Performance since 2007.

She also gets plenty of plaudits from her clients, which Trish reckons is her greatest achievement. She shares just a few of the many reviews she’s received.

“We were so happy with the professionalism, niceness and amazing work that Trish did to sell our home,” says one. “I would highly recommend Trish to any potential seller. You can’t go past her energy and passion to get your property sold. Definitely number one in our books,” is another.

And finally: “Open, honest, professional, just what you’re looking for in a real estate agent.”

85 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 8, 2016

“YOUR FOOTBALL CLUB”

Errors bite sloppy Tiges

By Tara Murray Mistakes proved costly for Werribee Tigers in the VFL match against Collingwood at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday.

With both sides equal on points going in to the game a win was vital for both, firstly to cement a place in the top eight and secondly to push for the top four.

The Magpies got the jump early, kicking five goals to two in the first quarter to open up a handy 20-point gap.

And that proved to be the difference, with the Tigers getting no closer than 14 points at the other breaks.

With the teams going goal for goal in the final quarter, the Magpies did enough to win 13.10 (88)-9.5 (59).

Tigers coach John Lamont said there was one clear difference between the two sides.

“We had enough of the ball in damp conditions but there were too many mistakes” he told Star Weekly.

“Our error rate was too high.

“They got off to a reasonable start and we couldn’t peg them back.

“We needed a bit more composure with the footy and to stick to the game plan with a bit more diligence when under pressure.”

Lamont said the game was very similar to their loss against Sandringham, when the Tigers were wasteful with the ball after quarter-time.

“Overall our baseline effort was good and we had enough of the ball,” he said.

“Error rate is the main issue.”

North Melbourne-listed defender Lachie Hansen was the best for the Tigers in his first game back from injury.

“It was his first game after suffering concussion in round five,” Lamont said.

“We’ve been conservative with him as he has a history of concussion.

“I think they [North Melbourne] will give him at least another week in the reserves unless there are injuries in the seniors.

“He did everything he could, but North Melbourne is in great shape.”

Corey Wagner, who kicked three goals, Trent Dumont, and Thomas Gribble were the other Tigers players to star on Saturday.

The Tigers are set to make at least three changes for this weekend’s clash with Richmond.

Jake Wilson, Matt Hanson and Michael Sodomaco will return after being rested against the Magpies.

“The three guys who played in the VFL [representative] game will come back into the side,” Lamont said.

“It was a management decision to rest them.

“It’s a long year and we want to be as fresh as possible.

“I stick by the decision to rest them even though we lost … we’re looking at the big picture.”

With the Tigers now sitting outside the top eight, a win is vital to stay in touch.

“It’s massively important with a really even competition,” Lamont said.

“Richmond had bad losses in both the seniors and reserves and I reckon there will be a fair bit of resolve out of them to play well this week.

“It’s a real danger game.”

Taylor Garner takes a strong grab against Collingwood. (Luke Hemer)

And So It Begins Much has been written and talked about the $11.5 million dollar redevelopment of Chirnside Park in the last few months since the final piece of the funding puzzle was put into place. While the main works will not begin until early October last week the initial preparation work began on the perimeter of Avalon Airport Oval. It was a sight for sore eyes for Werribee Tigers CEO Mark Penaluna “This is the beginning of making our dream come true. We have a bit of short term pain for the next year or so, but the long term gain will be well worth it”. You can view drawings of the redevelopment on the clubs website. As you can imagine the Werribee Football department clocks up a lot of ks in a season with games as far afield as Frankston, Ballarat, Casey and Geelong. It is a bit like a rock band on tour with all the equipment that is needed to get both senior teams on the ground each week.

That is why the club was delighted to take possession of a new and very colorful van last week thanks to website sponsors Morris Finance Limited. The van joins the fleet of Ballan Holdens that are seen cruising around the City of Wyndham. Keep up to date with all the news around the club on the websitewerribeefc.com.au and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

86 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 8, 2016

SPORT Unlucky Jets urged to look beyond Big V with Vic Metro,” Baker told Star Weekly. “At the same time, we think we’ve got a couple of boys who are a bit unlucky to miss out … they’ve still got opportunities in front of them in terms of TAC Cup, playing really good footy there and potentially playing finals.

“We’ve seen a lot of examples of players who, for whatever reason, didn’t make their state teams and then have been able to get drafted.

Clayton Oliver is a really good example of someone who didn’t play for Vic Country last year but got drafted pick three.”

Conversely, being named in the Vic Metro squad is not a golden ticket to the big league.

The much-scrutinised championships can damage a player’s reputation on poor form just as much as it can enhance it with good outings.

The championships feature the best under-18s

in the country and every possession will have to be earned.

“They’ve been given the opportunity, but they’ve still got to make sure they perform and do themselves justice playing against the best in the country,” Baker said.

Baker has urged his players to lap up the experience of playing for Victoria.

“It’s a reward for their efforts in both training and playing over a long period of time, so they will be feeling proud and excited,” he said.

While the Jets are disappointed for players who missed out on selection, overall they are happy with having six selected. Vic Metro’s first game in the under-18 championships will be against Vic Country on Monday.

Lance Jenkinson

Warriors claim fiery win

By Lance Jenkinson Hoppers Crossing has declared itself as Wyndham’s frontrunner for the Western Region Football League division 1 premiership with victory in a fiery Wyndham derby against Werribee Districts.

The 30-point win was a gutsy showing by the Warriors, who were down a rotation from early in the first quarter after Mitch Palma injured his back.

Warriors coach Steven Kretiuk described his side’s effort as “character building”.

“We were down one rotation pretty much all day,” he said.

“It was pretty close, and then in the third quarter we sort of broke it open a bit – got ourselves a margin and managed to hang on towards the end.”

It was a spicy clash between long-time rivals.

There were scuffles and niggles at times, but Kretiuk said they did little to add to the occasion.

“There were a couple of fireworks throughout the day,” he said.

“I said to the guys, ‘This rivalry has always been built up over the years, but we’ve got to move on from this and be better as a club’.

“It’s good to have rivalries, but if it’s going to get our minds off the actual purpose of the game and the fundamentals we have to tick off to win a game of footy, there’s no use having them.

“Regardless of who we’re playing, we’ve got to play each game on its merits.”

After only a kick separated the sides at half-time, Hoppers Crossing banged on seven unanswered goals in the third quarter to take a 45-point lead into the last change.

The Warriors took their foot off the pedal in the fourth – something Kretiuk partly blamed on his players getting sidetracked by activities other than chasing the football.

“I think the last quarter, when there were spot fires here and there, that’s when they got on top and we’ve got to be better than that,” Kretiuk said.

“When a club tries to ruffle our feathers, we’ve just got to walk away and get on with the job.”

A bit of fune-tuning was needed at the half-time break for Hoppers Crossing to hit the high notes in the third quarter.

The Warriors produced a scintillating 30 minutes of football on the back of a lift in defensive intensity.

“We wanted to make sure we came out after half-time and made a statement with our tackling pressure – and we certainly did that,” Kretiuk said.

“We were hunting the ball in packs, we were getting plus-ones at the contest … it allowed us to get some good inside-50s and keep them goal-less in the third quarter.”

Onballers Mathew Ryan, Reece Miles and

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The

Bulldogs continue to show the kind of composure many diehard supporters are just not accustomed to.

On Sunday, they were challenged late in the final quarter by the Eagles and, once again, they stood up and got the four points. They’re winning games and, I’m sure, many admirers around the country. They play a brand of football that is good to watch whatever style of play you prefer. Watching Jake Stringer do his Incredible Hulk impersonation as he bursts out of tackles is well worth the admission price. And it was a great compliment to Marcus Bontempelli that while he was acting captain last week in Easton Wood’s absence, his form didn’t suffer.

footy is buzzing about the impact Newport Power has made in its first season of senior football in the WRFL. The club is in its 11th year and looks like one of the teams to beat for the Division 3 flag. Division 2 and 3 have byes this week, then Newport will host Tarneit on June 18 in a battle between the top two separated only by percentage. The Power has a perfect record at home ground Bryan Martyn Oval and will be hell bent on keeping that record intact. The club will also host its sixth annual Sportsman’s Lunch at its home ground on Friday, June 24. Special guests will be Daniel Wells, Jordan Lewis and Todd Goldstein with one more name to be added. Tickets are $140 per person and available through katematherson@ optusnet.com.au or 0402 216 111. It’s a great day in the footy calendar.

■ Following

the WRFL win over Ballarat in the country championships, a number of the boys in the red, white and blue have been named in the Vic metro squad. Josh Bench, Tim Jenkins, Matt Dean, Murray Boyd, Ben Graham, Tim Quick, Braden Ferrari, Jase Perkins and Daniel Castellano all made the squad, as did Brett Jacobs as an assistant coach. It’s also good to see six Western Jets in the under-18 metro squad for the championships which are under way now. Congratulations to William Berry, Daniel Venables, Brodie Romensky, Brock McGregor, Lachlan Fogarty and Oscar Junker.

Matthew Smith were superb at the coalface for Hoppers Crossing.

Braden Ferrari’s tight-checking limited dangerous Tigers forward Chris Molivas to two goals.

Forward Daniel Riosa kept presenting on the lead, while Matthew Turner jagged four goals against his old club.

The Warriors are two games clear on top of the ladder heading into the bye, which Kretiuk said had “come at a good time for us”.

“We’ve got a few sore guys and we’ll freshen them up physically and mentally,” he said.

Werribee Districts will host Spotswood in a tantalising third-versus-fourth match-up at Soldiers Reserve on Saturday.

The message from Western Jets coach Torin Baker was the same for his club’s “chosen six” for the Vic Metro squad and the unlucky ones who missed out – the hard work must go on.

The Jets had Wilson Berry, Oscar Junker, Brock McGregor, Lachlan Fogarty, Daniel Venables and Brodie Romensky named last week in Vic Metro’s 38-player squad for the AFL under-18 national championships, with a number of worthy contenders missing out, including Judah Dundon and Harry Bult.

To the players who were unfortunate to miss out, Baker said it was not a dead end, pointing to Melbourne draftee Clayton Oliver as a prime example of a player who can make the AFL without pulling on the Big V. “It’s a good reward for those boys who’ve had good TAC Cup form to get their opportunity

Coach sticks with youth as Tigers’ cubs start to roar Werribee took a giant leap forward with a 2-1 win over MHSOB in the Hockey Victoria women’s Vic League 2 on Sunday.

The Tigers’ young guns came to the fore at the MHS-MCC Hockey Facility with Claudia Beamish, Emma Tivendale and Caitlin Spence having a major impact on the result.

“They were the shining stars of a good win,” Tigers coach Les McAlinden told Star Weekly.

Werribee was in a tough spot at the end of the last season when it lost a fair bit of experience from the squad.

But instead of plugging holes with recruits, the Tigers opted to blood talented youth from their junior system, even if it meant a little short-term pain.

It has not been easy for the Tigers this season with just two wins and a draw from eight games, but McAlinden has seen enough in the youngsters to persist with the youth strategy. “[After we lost] so many quality players last year, with the amount of games experience, I thought we’ve got to play the juniors because they’re the future of the club,” he said.

“You know what, they’re just working beautifully at the moment. Every challenge I throw at them, they accept it and do it well.”

Beamish and Casey Tunstall scored Werribee’s goals against MHSOB. But it was the build-up to the goals that impressed McAlinden the most.

“The ones we scored were good team goals,” he said.

“The ball went through four or five players before it ended up in the back of the net.”

The competition goes into recess for the Queen’s birthday weekend and McAlinden is hoping it doesn’t halt his team’s momentum heading into a must-win game against bottom side Gippsland Bulls on June 18.

Meanwhile, a single goal was enough to bring about Werribee’s downfall to MHSOB in the men’s Vic League 2.

The Tigers will go into the break sitting fifth on the ladder with three wins and a draw from eight games.

Bex gets a break at last

88 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 8, 2016

Basketball

Werribee Devils are on the upswing after consecutive wins in the Big V basketball men’s championship. The Devils cruised to an 82-69 win over Bulleen at Eagle Stadium on Sunday, Jeremy Smith putting on a show with 30 points, eight rebounds and five steals. Jack Macdonald (16 points) and Jordan Hughes (15 points and three steals) also did the job at the offensive end. In division 1 of the women’s competition, Werribee was beaten 91-52 by title contenders Geelong Supercats at Eagle Stadium on Sunday.

By Lance Jenkinson Werribee Devils import Bex Van Kuyk will finally get a chance to take a deep breath, with the Queen’s birthday long weekend break in Big V Basketball women’s division 1.

To say it’s been a hectic 10 games as a Devil for Van Kuyk is an understatement.

From the moment the New Zealander set foot in Melbourne, it has been a period of constant readjustment.

The first challenge for the Wellingtonian was to settle into her new surroundings in Point Cook, where she rents with fellow Kiwi and Devils teammate Jess Slade, before finding out what Devils coach Mahaela Jackson expected of her star recruit.

Getting to know her teammates’ strengths and weaknesses was a task that could be refined only with time together on and off the court.

But, just as Van Kuyk felt she was getting on top of it, she was disrupted by a call-up to the New Zealand training squad for the Rio Olympics qualifiers.

It was an experience Van Kuyk cherished, even though she did not make the final cut.

Meanwhile, her numbers on the court continue to grow.

The centre/power forward is averaging 16.4 points and 15 rebounds per game, with a monster double-double of 22 points and 25 rebounds against Latrobe City the highlight.

Those big numbers have become the norm and Van Kuyk may have made a rod for her own back as opposition coaches wake up to her threat inside the paint.

So it’s time for yet another readjustment.

“I’ve been finding it a lot more physical in recent games,” Van Kuyk told Star Weekly.

“Every time I touch the ball, there are two or three bodies automatically drawn to me.

“I’m trying to dish it out more and it’s opening up our other four players a lot more.”

Van Kuyk knows that once it all clicks into place and the ball movement is more fluid, the Devils will become a dangerous proposition.

Their second-last position on the ladder belies the talent on their roster, headed up by the two Kiwi acquisitions.

Van Kuyk is impressed with the Devils’ set-up and how it can aid her career ambition of becoming a New Zealand international.

She said the standard of play and continuity of the season in Victoria was far superior to what she could get back home.

“We don’t have this type of league in New Zealand,” Van Kuyk said.

“We don’t get to play every week, so being a part of this program is awesome.”

One of the benefits for Van Kuyk is the opportunity to play under a female coach.

The 26-year-old has plied her trade in four different countries but can recall only one of

Westbourne Grammarians still lead the way and Point Cook is not too far behind, while the rest of the VAFA division 4 is playing for third. Westbourne’s winning streak extended to eight with a 111-point thrashing of Masala at the Westbourne School Ground on Saturday. The Warriors, led by Chris Hudson, booted nine goals to one in the last quarter. Point Cook has a two-game break over third-placed Eley Park Sharks after a 147-point blitz of hapless Chadstone. William Dawson was outstanding for the Bulldogs with eight goals.

Werribee Centrals continue to climb up the Smiths Holden Cup standings.

The Centurions made it four wins on the trot in disposing of Winchelsea by 59 points at Eastern Reserve on Saturday. Of the Centurions’ 42 scoring shots, 21 were goals and 11 individuals registered majors with Luke Cachia leading the way with four. The Centurions’ victory was set up by an eight-goal third quarter.

her former coaches being a woman. She likes how up front and personal Jackson can be about her game.

“She can talk to us a bit more, whereas male coaches can get a bit stand-offish and don’t want to get too personal,” she said. “Being a female coach, it’s easier not having those boundaries.”

Van Kuyk has decided to “start making decisions” about her basketball future and

hopes that playing in Australia will give her career the kick-along it needs.

She wants to be part of New Zealand’s push for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and will strive for a WNBL contract.

“I’d love to play in the WNBL,” she said.

“That’s definitely an ambition but my main goal right now is Werribee and helping the team to get to where we want to be this year.”

Werribee Bears ran amok to beat struggling South Eastern Titans 84-0 in a merciless NRL Victoria first grade display on Saturday. The Bears strengthened their bid for the minor premiership with a significant boost in points difference. It was enough to see the Bears take over from Casey Warriors at the top of the ladder.

Little gets Hoppers home

By Lance Jenkinson There are days when newly promoted Hoppers Crossing is seemingly battling out of its weight division in division 2 of Football Federation Victoria’s state league, only for its incredible will to win to see it through.

Saturday was one of those days for the Reds, when Moreland United appeared superior on paper but their willingness to stay the course rewarded Hoppers with a memorable 3-2 win at a slippery Grange Reserve.

“I was just so proud of them,” Reds coach Steve Iosifidis told Star Weekly. “It was all about their mental toughness to fight it out.

“The last 20 minutes we were just under the pump. The team we played against were pretty decent and they had clear-cut chances to finish the game.

“But, credit to our boys, they showed good character to fight right to the very end.”

Iosifidis feared for his side late in the game when United peppered goalkeeper Kieran Sharratt only to be denied time and again.

“Our keeper had an outstanding game,” Iosifidis said. “He was partly to blame for the first goal but made critical saves in the second half.”

The man who owned the match-winning moment was striker John Little, who didn’t get to the ground by kick-off because of work commitments and had to start on the bench.

But once into the action, he headed the winning goal in second-half stoppage time to take the Reds to second on the ladder.

“There’s a bit of a buzz around the clubrooms at the moment but we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves,” Iosifidis said.

Injury-ravaged Alister Smart also found the back of the net,as did Daniel Sweeney, who also provided the cross for Little’s goal.

Late, late goal takes the sting out of Bees Werribee City missed out on a third consecutive win by a matter of seconds in the NPL2 west at Galvin Park on Sunday.

The Bees were on the verge of collecting all three points until Brunswick City striker Adam Wright equalised deep into second half stoppage time to make it 2-2.

Wright was a thorn in the side of the Bees all day, finishing with a double.

In between, Damien Peters and Domenico Marafioti scored for the Bees, lifting hopes of another win for the bottom-three side, which is rejuvenated under new coach Sergio Sabbadini.

The Bees had to settle for a fourth game without defeat.

In state league 4, Point Cook was scintillating in an 8-0 thrashing of Balmoral at Saltwater Reserve.

Five different Jets got on the scoresheet, which included a hat-trick to Morgan Filer and a double for Zac Osborne.

Dale Howarth, Harrison Reading and Shaun Rodden also found the back of the net in the rout.

The Jets are up to fourth with a significant goal difference boost.

Truganina Hornets turned the corner with a strong performance on the road against Bell Park, but reaped only one point in a 1-1 draw.

Musa Kamara scored for the Hornets, who remain in the relegation zone.

rear much in the same way as the front seats of a two-door car.

The back cargo area is really big and will fit a considerable amount of luggage, which makes the iMax popular as a hotel shuttle.

The only disappointing thing with the iMax is the fact the rear seats don’t fold down or flat, or come out easily, should you want to turn your mini bus into a van. Such a feature could make this a really good all-rounder. On the plus side, you won’t have friends asking you to help them move house.

A mover to the max

By David Bonnici Some people movers have evolved to become luxury vehicles that are very much on the pricey side for anyone needing more than seven seats.

The Hyundai iMax seems to address these issues.

Inside Unlike people movers such as the Kia Carnival or Chrysler Voyager, the iMax has a bit more commercial feel inside. But it has enough

1

creature comforts for driver and passengers. If your job was to drive this all day, it makes for a comfortable office, with captain-chair-style front seats with fold-down arm rests. It has a touch screen with the usual phone, device connectivity and reverse camera – obviously very handy for a vehicle this size.

The air-conditioning is rather rudimentary, but works very well in the large cabin with separate controls and vents in the passenger compartment. There’s no centre console, I guess for want of access between the front seats

and passenger area. To compensate for lack of central storage, there are two pockets in each of the doors and a couple of cup holders pop out of the dashboard underneath the gear stick.

The passenger seats are also comfortable.

This is a true eight-seater in that the rear-most seats fit three adults comfortably and aren’t a token addition in case you end up with a couple of extra kids to take home from netball.

Access is simple via sliding doors on both sides. The middle row seats adjust back and forth and fold forward to assist access to the

The drive Despite it’s size, the 2.5-litre diesel engine version I test drove is zippy even with a full passenger load.

The five-speed automatic transmission is responsive without the lag you get in some turbo-diesel cars. It was a little slow to respond to hills in cruise control.

It’s an easy vehicle to drive and you shouldn’t be daunted if you’ve never driven a van before.

Despite the high seating position and the truck-like grunt of the diesel engine it drives like a car.

While it looks big, it fits easily into carparking spaces.

And while it might be a little longer than most cars, it’s not much wider. If anything, the flat nose makes it easier to park than most cars.

The Hyundai iMax comes with a 2.4-litre petrol or 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine, the latter being the best bet for economy, driveability and resale value if you can afford it.

Prices start from about $43,700 drive away.

Mazda mechanic tops nationals Werribee Mazda customers put their cars into the hands of an international maestro – and he is a local to boot.

Bruce Brunton has just returned home after coming fifth in the third stage of the international MazTech competition.

Bruce battled eight other Australian state finalists to secure his place representing Australia at the internationals.

Tested in four categories, the Werribee Mazda contestant put all his knowledge and skills on the line.

“The first stage is an online component that all Australian Mazda dealer technicians competed in. Believe it, I scored the highest in the test,” said Bruce.

“The second is the national finals, in which eight state champions compete. This involves diagnostic, electrical, mechanical and written tests. I won the national final.

“Third was the Asia/Oceania MazTech Competition held in Shanghai, where myself and the runner-up from the nationals represented Australia and we came fifth.”

“Only first and second placeholders get to compete in the world final, which will be held in Japan next year.”

Bruce says his local experience put him in the world league.

“For 11 years, I worked with Ford in Scotland. For three of those I worked in their accident repair centre, doing painting and panel beating,” he said.

“On returning to Australia, I worked with Ford for six months, then shifted to Werribee Mazda, where I’ve been for nearly four years, and completed my masters.”

Bruce says while the MazTech competition was tough, the results really paid off. He has now been selected to be one of the judges at the 2017 MazTech competition.
