Swing sting for Pallas By Charlene Macaulay and Alesha Capone Returning Werribee MP Tim Pallas has suffered a swing against him in the polls as the Labor Party stormed to victory at the weekend to reclaim government. Wyndham’s three lower house seats look set to remain in Labor hands as the majority of seats in the west followed a statewide swing towards Labor, giving premier Daniel Andrews a second consecutive term in office. Media representatives for Mr Pallas and new Tarneit MP Sarah Connolly refused to grant interviews with Star Weekly on both election night and on Monday, despite repeated requests.

‘‘

I’m really proud to have achieved a swing against a sitting ALP member, one of only a few Labor MPs who had a swing against him

’’

- Dr Joe Garra Mr Pallas, who held a 15.3 per cent margin in the safe Labor seat coming into the election, currently holds 44.74 per cent of the primary vote with just over 76 per cent of votes counted. Independent Joe Garra received 20.87 per cent of first preference votes, followed by the Liberals’ Gayle Murphy, who is currently sitting on 16.91 per cent. Mr Pallas is currently 11.9 per cent behind on first preferences compared to his 2014 victory, thanks largely to the strong showing by Dr Garra, a Werribee GP. The final swing against Mr Pallas – reported by the ABC on Monday as almost 4 per cent – is expected to be determined later this week once all votes are counted and preferences are distributed. Dr Garra said he would continue to advocate for Werribee and hoped to work with Mr Pallas to achieve more funding for the region. “I’m very proud of the volunteers and humbled with the support I’ve received,” he said. “I’m really proud to have achieved a swing against a sitting ALP member, one of only a few Labor MPs who had a swing against him.” With more than 65 per cent of the votes cast in Tarneit counted by Monday afternoon, Ms Connolly had more than 19,000 of first-preference votes (57.6 per cent), followed

by Liberal candidate Glenn Goodfellow, who amassed more than 8000 first-preference votes (24.3 per cent). That represents a swing of more than 10 per cent to Labor and a 2.1 per cent swing away from the Liberals since the last election. On a two-party preferred basis, Ms Connolly had 69.1 per cent of the votes and Mr Goodfellow 30.9 per cent. Greens candidate Beck Sheffield-Brotherton

gained more than 2300 votes (7.1 per cent) and Wyndham councillor Aaron An managed 721 votes (2.18 per cent). Ms Connolly replaces former Tarneit MP Telmo Languiller, who retired following allegations he abused his parliamentary entitlements. In November last year, when Star Weekly interviewed Ms Connolly after she announced her candidacy for Tarneit, she promised she would provide the area “a very

loud” voice in Parliament. Ms Connolly, who lives in Altona North with her family, said she would consider moving into the Tarneit electorate if she became the area’s MP. In the seat of Altona, incumbent MP Jill Hennessy has held on to her seat, securing 65.73 per cent of the primary vote with two-thirds of the vote counted. Wyndham councillor Tony Hooper achieved 12.13 per cent of the primary vote.

New soccer club’s player pitch By Charlene Macaulay The Western Melbourne Group has already started sounding out potential recruits so that it can hit the ground running if it secures one of two new A-League licences on offer. Western Melbourne Group’s director of football Steve Horvat said the consortium was already chatting to possible marquee player recruits to ensure the new club has a strong player base. “They [marquee players] are the most difficult to secure.

“We already have a vision as to the make-up of our squad and will look to recruit accordingly. “Along with high profile signings we want to ensure that players from the region and our National Premier League catchment area are given a trial and we will ensure that we promote the players from our region.” Mr Horvat said the Western Melbourne Group has also commenced preliminary planning on the construction of Wyndham Stadium, and expects to turn soil on the project within 12 months of a decision being made.

‘‘

... we will ensure that we promote the players from - Steve Horvat our region

’’

He said construction of the stadium is expected to take 21 months, with the team expected to play its first home game in the opening round of the 2021-22 A-League season. In the interim, the group has identified a couple of reserves around Wyndham it can use as a temporary training base.

The Western Melbourne Group’s bid to set up a club in Tarneit as part of an expansion of the A-League is one of six remaining bids on the table, with a decision expected next month. Wyndham council has worked with the Western Melbourne Group on the bid, which also has the support of Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Melton councils. Earlier this month, FFA chief executive David Gallop, other FFA personnel and representatives from Deloitte were taken on a tour of key sites in Wyndham to see the area’s population growth first-hand.

Police have charged two teenagers in relation to an aggravated home invasion in Wyndham Vale on Saturday, November 17. About 5.45am, police were called to a Peppermint Grove residence after five men armed with weapons forced entry into the house. The men demanded a car belonging to one of the residents. The car was stolen shortly afterwards. The three occupants of the home, an 80-year-old man, a 66-year-old woman and a 27-year-old woman, were not injured during the incident. The vehicle was recovered at Point Cook later that morning. Police last week executed search warrants at a number of properties in Melbourne’s northwest in relation to the incident. Detectives arrested an 18-year-old Melton West man at a commercial property in Thomastown. He faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court, charged with aggravated home invasion and theft of a motor vehicle, and was remanded to face court again on December 10. Police also arrested a 16-year-old Glenroy boy. He faced a children’s court charged with aggravated home invasion and theft of a motor vehicle and was remanded to appear in court at a later date. Anyone with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Kevin Hillier says itâ€™s time for councillors to step up

n the back of the anti climax that was the state election (more later) can we get on with the issue of voting for the mayor of Wyndham. Hopefully our band of councillors can find their way to the chamber this week to cast their vote (as opposed to campaigning for them) and propel the crown, orb and robes in the general direction of someone who gives a flying fig about Wyndham City and its ratepayers. Or is that too much to ask? This current group of councillors has done its best work in demonstrating how irrelevant they are and how the city functions with or without them. In many ways, who gets to be head honcho is purely cosmetic, but it comes with a pretty reasonable pay packet and some important responsibilities. I think it is fair to say the robes have faded in importance, especially given this council saw fit to put the vote off while it attended to more pressing matters. So if the role of mayor has diminished, then all who serve beneath him or her also lose their status accordingly.

The lure of the robes now holds little appeal, and certainly the esteem of the office has gone the way of bank managers in importance. Good luck to whomever is voted in. If you are able to give the role some renewed credibility, that would be a good start because your fellow councillors have put you behind the startersâ€™ blocks. The state election was a landslide to the Andrews government and as a result the west remains a Labor stronghold. Tim Pallas and Jill Hennessy retain their seats and Sarah Connolly succeeds Telmo Languiller in Tarneit. Those hoping for marginal seats this side of the Westgate will be disappointed. While there was a swing against Tim Pallas, it hardly will have him quaking in his boots. It is time now to deliver and be more accountable, more contactable and more relevant to the people you represent. It will be fascinating to see the strategy of the non-Labor interests in the lead-up to the federal poll next year and also their tactics once the wounds heal for state politics. â– â–

Pokies plan for $18m complex By Alesha Capone Wyndham council has received a planning application seeking permission to build an $18 million, seven-storey entertainment and commercial facility in Truganina. The application, for 231 Leakes Road, includes a gaming venue with a maximum of 70 poker machines, a licensed premises, a serviced apartment hotel and residential building and a request for a reduction in car parking requirements at the site.

Further details of the planning permit application, which is listed on the council’s website, have not yet been released to the public. Wyndham Cr Josh Gilligan who chairs the council’s gambling reference advocacy group, said the application would be subjected to the council’s gaming policy under the Wyndham Planning Scheme. Cr Gilligan said the policy was “designed to mitigate pokies harm in vulnerable communities like Truganina”. “Council must prioritise a review of our

gaming regulations as part of Wyndham’s Planning Scheme to ensure it remains fit for purpose, given the tsunami of pokies applications coming our way,” Cr Gilligan said. Earlier this month, Cr Gilligan spoke out against a state government decision to add 80 new poker machine entitlements to Wyndham from 2022. This means that in four years’ time, there could be 80 new poker machines installed across venues in Tarneit, Truganina and Point Cook, taking the area’s total number

of electronic gaming machines from 903 machines to 983. According to the Alliance for Gambling Reform, punters in the Tarneit electorate spent $54.9 million on electronic gaming machines during 2017-18. The alliance’s director and spokesman Tim Costello said poker machine losses in Victoria were “concentrated” in areas of disadvantage. Star Weekly contacted TM Design Group Australia, which lodged the planning permit application, for comment.

Potential unlocked A year 11 Werribee Secondary College student who fled war-torn Congo and was separated from all but one sibling has received a $500 scholarship from WynBay LLEN. Ikanga Djembe, who is undertaking an engineering VET course, was the successful recipient of the inaugural Youth Potential Scholarship, which will help him cover the costs of his VET course next year. The 19-year-old Werribee resident fled Congo at nine years of age when his house burnt down. Ikanga and one of his brothers eventually reached a refugee camp in Zimbabwe, where he stayed for a few years before his sister, who lived in Werribee, was able to sponsor him to come to Australia. The pair are now working to get his brother to Australia and have discovered their other sister is alive and well, but do not know if their parents and another brother are still alive. “It is hard without my mum and dad,” he said.

“Of course I have all the essential materials that I need to survive and be able to go to school, but having parents supporting you is a feeling I want more than anything. “My sister supports her own children and helps me, I know what a burden I am on her. As she works many hours I look after the children, cook, clean and make sure that they get to school on time.” Karen Kennedy from WynBay LLEN said the organisation, which offers two tertiary scholarships to year 12 students going to university each year, started this new scholarship due to demand and was thrilled it had been sponsored by The Gordon. She hopes to offer more scholarships for next year and called on local businesses to consider sponsoring a scholarship. To sponsor a scholarship, call Karen on 9394 6334. Charlene Macaulay

Council wants school rejected By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham council has called on the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to knock back a planning application for a new private school in Point Cook. Lighthouse Christian College, which runs a K-12 school in Keysborough, lodged plans with Wyndham council in November last year for a $6.9 million Point Cook campus that would cater for 448 students on a nine-hectare site on Point Cook Homestead Road. The matter will go before VCAT in February next year after Lighthouse Christian College lodged an appeal against Wyndham council’s failure to grant a permit within the prescribed time. The council, which is required to advise VCAT of its position on the matter, said it would have refused the application if it were the deciding body. Councillor Mia Shaw said despite the need for more schools in Wyndham, the site was in the Green Wedge Buffer precinct – which provides a buffer between the RAAF base, land within the Urban Growth Boundary and an established area of Point Cook – and the school’s proposal was inconsistent with a number of council and state planning policies. Fellow councillor Heather Marcus added: “When you get down to the traffic engineering, they are very concerned that a lot of the children that will be going to this Christian college would not be children from this area, so therefore there will be traffic congestion getting to and from the school.” The Department of Defence has also formally objected to the proposal, arguing the proposed school would be too close to military and civil operations at the Point Cook RAAF base.

Club hits off with new game The Werribee Hockey Club is introducing two new forms of the game for summer. Summer hockey co-ordinator Tim Pickersgill said J-Ball, a modified version of the game, uses plastic sticks and a soft ball. “All you need to bring is yourself and a pair of runners – the rules are few so it’s easy to get a game started and play, you don’t need any hockey experience to play,” he said. Mr Pickersgill said the other new form of the game is called Hockey Sixers. “Hockey Sixers provides a game for existing players and players that have been out of the game for a while, to play again only needing six players per side, and this game is played with conventional equipment,” he said. Both the J-Ball and Hockey Sixers programs have been developed by Hockey Victoria, in partnership with VicHealth, to attract people of all levels of fitness and skills to the sport as a social pastime. The J-Ball program will be held at the Werribee Hockey Club until Wednesday, December 12, but Mr Pickersgill said the club was hoping it could continue next year. “We are hoping to continue this game into the start of the new year and maybe a midweek game through winter,” he said.

Point Cook planning pressure By Charlene Macaulay A proposal to rezone and subdivide a parcel of Point Cook land will go under the microscope amid concerns the suburb is already “heavily congested”. Wyndham council is seeking authorisation from the state planning minister to prepare an amendment to the Wyndham Planning Scheme that proposes to rezone 315 Boardwalk Boulevard from Farming Zone to General Residential Zone.

The amendment, which is being prepared at the request of Akron Point Cook Pty Ltd, would allow the company to subdivide the 15 hectare parcel of land into 230 lots, create a drainage reserve and passive open space. Once prepared, the amendment will be open to community consultation before a further report will go before the council. Although the council does not have a formal position on the amendment at this stage, an officer’s report tabled at this month’s council meeting stated that while the land was within an

Urban Growth Boundary and surrounded by residential development, the impacts on traffic congestion and the provision of developer contributions were serious considerations. “A key issue in the assessment of the amendment is whether council should support the proposed rezoning given that Point Cook is already heavily congested,” the report stated. “This would generate 1932 traffic movements per day, in an area that is currently experiencing approximately 155,000 traffic movements per day.”

Akron Point Cook has agreed to pay a development contribution of $4.07 million to make up for the shortage of open space proposed for the estate. Councillor Kim McAliney said she looked forward to hearing what the community had to say about the proposal. “I acknowledge that there is considerable population growth and transport infrastructure pressures based in the Point Cook community and in this process we need to be careful to consider these matters,” Cr McAliney said.

Winning smiles all round Photographer Kristie Dutson has put together a 12 Days of Christmas fundraiser for a good cause. For the past three years, Dutson – who runs Inspired Portraits in Werribee – has organised a fundraising Christmas raffle involving 12 local businesses. This year’s raffle will raise funds for the Westgate Community Initiatives Group (WCIG), a not-for-profit employment services provider for people in the west and Geelong. Dutson said she started the raffle because she wanted to give back to the community and help other businesses. “I love Christmas, I like being able to help people and, particularly, seeing people smile,” she said. Dutson said that people could buy raffle tickets online for the chance to win one of 12 products or services donated as prizes by businesses – such as Constant Evolution Personal Training, Absolute Bliss Candles and

Sassy Party Hire – which have participated in the raffle every year since it started. Between Saturday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 12, the prizes will be announced daily on Inspired Portraits’ social media, including Facebook. Dutson said she decided to donate the funds raised from this year’s raffle to WCIG after meeting the organisation’s community engagement specialist, Annalisa Cannizzaro. Ms Cannizzaro said that WCIG’s staff were “very humbled” by the gesture. Raffle tickets cost $1 each or five for $3. The raffle will be launched on December 1 at 8am.

Watton Street high-rise plan By Charlene Macaulay Watton Street is set to get another high-rise building. Plans have been lodged for a five-storey block with 18 apartments, ground floor retail, a permit for the sale and consumption of liquor, a basement carpark and rooftop terrace on a vacant block of land at 100 Watton Street, located next door to diner Truck Stop Deluxe. The plans were first lodged in November 2016 but have since been updated and are out for community consultation. A decision on the $3 million development is

expected to be made in coming months, but at this stage it has yet to be decided whether the matter will go before a council meeting. The apartment block is one of a number of high-rises under construction or on the cards for Werribee’s CBD. The $47 million 10-storey Edge One apartment block, which overlooks Wyndham Park and the Werribee River, is currently selling 100 apartments with one, two and three bedrooms off the plan. The development is stage one of the overall RiverEdge development which also includes plans for a new 8300-square-metre Wyndham city community learning hub over five levels

and another 200-plus apartments. Meanwhile, construction is expected to start in coming months on Werribee’s tallest development, the $49.5 million 12-storey hotel, education precinct and carpark development on the corner of Synnot Street and Duncans Road. In June last year, Wyndham council approved plans for a $15 million 10-storey mixed-use apartment block along Watton Street, next door to the Bridge Hotel.

Time to lend a hand A little helping hand can do wonders for those in need. That’s the impetus behind Lightpoint Church’s annual Helping Hand Day, which gives families in need a free food hamper, quality pre-loved clothes and new and second-hand toys for children. The event first began in 2012, when 50 hampers were handed out to help those in Wyndham who were doing it tough over Christmas. The day has grown exponentially since then, with more than 300 hampers distributed at last year’s event. Project manager Melissa Smile said volunteers had spent the past three months packing the hampers in preparation for this year’s event. All food and clothes used in the hampers are donated or purchased through financial donations made by parishoners and members

of the public. This year, Lightpoint Church has also spent $1000 to purchase toys to include in the hampers. Ms Smile said while many people were busy buying Christmas gifts and making plans, there were many others struggling to cope with the increased cost of living or a job loss. “It’s a lot of work, but on the day you see everybody happy and smiling.” The 2019 Helping Hand Day will be held on December 1 from 10am-midday at Point Cook Senior College, corner of Boardwalk Boulevard and Bergamot Drive, Point Cook. Recipients must bring their pension or healthcare card to be eligible for a hamper. Details: www.lightpointchurch.com.au, search Lightpoint Church Point Cook on Facebook or call 0466 094 801.

Worker wins 890k payout for fall By Alesha Capone A man who was injured after falling down stairs at a Laverton North factory has been awarded $890,000 in damages by the Supreme Court. In November 2011, the man, who was in his mid-30s, was working as a labourer at a concrete pipe manufacturing plant operated by Holcim (Australia), when he slipped three steps from a landing and fell onto the concrete factory floor.

At the time, the man was employed through the labour hire firm Ready Workforce. The court heard the man had brought legal action alleging negligence by Holcim and Ready Workforce, and a breach of duty by Holcim. Supreme Court Judge Andrew Keogh said that the man’s evidence described the landing’s surface as being wet and covered in debris from the factory’s manufacturing process, when he fell and landed mainly on his right lower back, leg and shoulder. The court hard that the injured man was

afterwards diagnosed with a partial tear to his right Achilles tendon, chronic low back pain caused by aggravation of pre-existing degenerative changes, a right shoulder injury, a soft tissue injury to his right hip and chronic pain syndrome. Justice Keogh said this had caused ongoing pain and difficulty when trying to lift heavy weights or reach high cupboards. The court heard the man also suffered nightmares and flashbacks of his fall, and he felt “embarrassment and shame” for not working

and had been diagnosed with depression. Justice Keogh said it was likely that the worker would continue to suffer symptoms from each of his conditions “indefinitely” into the future. “The injuries have caused incapacity for employment and a substantial inference to … enjoyment of life,” Justice Keogh said. He awarded the worker damages of $220,000 for pain and suffering, $315,000 for past loss of earnings and $355,000 for future loss of earning capacity, adding up to $890,000 in total.

Werribee Cup kicks off The Spring Racing Carnival may have wound up, but now it’s time for the Werribee Racing Club to shine with season opener, the Werribee Cup, on track to be the best yet. More than 4000 people are expected to frock up and attend this year’s cup on December 9 to enjoy a day of country racing, fashions on the field and childrens activities. For the adults there are mini marquees and a Birdcage cocktail bar. For those looking to spend a day out with the family, entry for kids 17 and under is free and there will be lots of kids’ activities, including jumping castles, face-painting and live music. Werribee Racing Club general manager Ashley Baker said he was looking forward to hosting his first Werribee Cup since taking the top job at the beginning of this year. “It’s going to be a relaxed, family-friendly afternoon of racing,” he said. Meanwhile, Star Weekly is calling on racegoers to share photos of their Werribee

Cup celebrations with a chance to win some great prizes, including a Fossil Watch courtesy of Duffs Jewellers, a $200 Shadowfax Wines dining voucher and two Village Cinema Gold Class tickets. For more information on the competition go to www.starweekly.com.au Charlene Macaulay

Police want you to dob in a dealer By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham residents have been encouraged to disrupt the local drug trade by dobbing in dealers, crop houses and other drug crimes. Crime Stoppers has joined forces with Wyndham Police and Wyndham council to launch the Dob in a Dealer campaign, a nation-wide program which aims to stop Australia’s supply chain of illicit drugs – including ice, cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis – by getting the public to report any suspicious activity.

Wyndham is one of 18 Victorian locations to take on the campaign in coming weeks. Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive Erika Owens said public support was crucial to help police bust criminals and organised crime gangs responsible for the manufacturing and supplying drugs. Cassandra Joyce from Crime Stoppers Victoria added: “Every call is absolutely confidential. We don’t trace IPs, we don’t want to know who you are, we just want to know what you know.” Wyndham Police Inspector Marty Allison

said information police receive from the community will dictate where they deploy resources. He stressed that the campaign was aimed at targeting drug dealers, rather than users. “Drug crime overall is a very widespread community issue. There’s no one real particular hotspot where it all occurs,” he said. “Drug crime, or the detection of drug crime, in Wyndham has stablised over the last few years. “We’re really focusing on the people that traffic the drugs, we really focus on those that

grow cannabis inside houses, and those that manufacture the drugs, whether that be in residential houses or in the bush or in factories. “We’re really keen to receive all types of information, no matter how small you think that information may be, it may very well be the piece of that puzzle that fits in with the bigger picture.” Wyndham safer communities portfolio holder Kim McAliney said the Dob in a Dealer campaign could help save the life of a drug user. To dob in a dealer, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

From lessons to life Manor Lakes P-12 College year 9 students threw a lunchtime dignity celebration last week to raise money for those doing it tough. The students have been taking part in the Learning for Life program, learning about accountability, resilience, independence, respect, safety and how to engage with the community. Learning for Life curriculum leader Kate Goodwin said the program was targeted at year 9s because traditionally that is when, at most schools, engagement dipped and poor behaviours started to increase. Ms Goodwin said each year 9 class had been given a demographic – the elderly, young men, young women, school-aged girls, school-aged boys, young mums fleeing violence and refugees – and asked to create a fundraiser plan. All proceeds from the celebration event, which were still being tallied as Star Weekly

went to print, will go to The Smith Family. Students offered a sausage sizzle, raffle, ultimate musical chairs, whole school free-dress day, guess the lollies in the lolly jar, cream pie a teacher, caricature drawing, hot food, face-painting, busking, lolly bags, milkshakes, icy poles and carnival games as part of the event. Students across the school were also invited to write a message of hope Christmas card for people who attend the local St Vincent De Paul soup kitchen. “The aim is to promote the charity and the point of need within the community and raise funds for them coming up to Christmas,” Ms Goodwin said. Charlene Macaulay Holly Frances and Jackson Martin enjoy the college celebration. (Charlene Macaulay)

New reserves in the works By Alesha Capone Two community precinct master plans for Tarneit North and Truganina, which include new sports reserves and family centres, will be considered by Wyndham council at a meeting this week. The Tarneit North plan has been prepared to guide the development of a 12.6-hectare reserve and Integrated Family Centre (IFC), next to future schools to be built near Fresco

Way and Polly Parade. For the first stage of the reserve the plan recommends three soccer fields, a cricket field, six tennis courts and four softball diamonds. The plan states the IFC should have two kindergarten rooms, three maternal and children’s health consulting suites, a kitchen and a community room. The IFC’s estimated opening date is 2022, while the estimated cost of construction across five years is about $20.97 million.

Meanwhile, the Truganina master plan will guide development of a 10.42-hectare reserve and an IFC, to be built within an area bordered by Forsyth, Dohertys, Morris and Leakes roads. Recommendations for the first stage of construction include three soccer fields, a shared AFL and cricket field and six tennis courts. Plans for the Truganina IFC include two kindergarten rooms and three maternal

and children’s health consulting suites. The estimated date for the facility to open is 2021. The estimated cost of building both the Truganina IFC and reserve is estimated at about $15.56 million. The community precinct master plans stated that Tarneit’s population is expected to increase from about 35,134 residents to an estimated 115,763 residents by 2041, while Truganina’s population is set to increase from about 28,159 residents to an estimated 53,455 residents.

Bags of Christmas cool Boomerang Bags Wyndham volunteers will be doing their bit for the environment in the lead-up to Christmas. The group – which was named Wyndham council’s Volunteer Community Group of the Year in August – has made more than 500 reusable Christmas present bags to sell at Tarneit Central shopping centre during the first two weeks of December. Boomerang Bags Wyndham organiser Wolf Graf said the bags were crafted using new, used and vintage fabrics. He said Boomerang Bags volunteers would also be wrapping Christmas gifts in fabrics that could be re-used as linen and dish towels or for craft projects. “We’re very excited to have the opportunity to show people how to wrap presents in a sustainable fashion,” he said. “The wrapping paper we purchase these days is, in most cases, not biodegradable or recyclable due to the dyes and plastic coating used.”

He said some of the donated material used to make the Boomerang Bags came from the St Vincent de Paul opportunity shop in Hoppers Crossing, the Salvation Army’s thrift shops and the Rotary op shop in Werribee. “It’s really amazing, when you see all the fabrics arriving – to think it could all have ended up in landfill,” he said. The Boomerang Bags will be on sale at Tarneit Central between Tuesday, December 4, to Saturday, December 8, and Tuesday, December 11, to Saturday, December 15, from 10am to 2pm each day. Cost: large bag $10, medium bag $8, small bag $6. The Boomerang Bags stand will also be selling Lions Christmas cakes. Alesha Capone

Mayoral Column In my last column, I want to acknowledge the thousands of people I’ve met from the community over the year including local community, sporting and other clubs that have been a source of inspiration to me all year. Speaking of sporting groups, people who know me know I am always banging on about the important role that sport and recreation play in Wyndham. So it’s only fitting that I acknowledge that Council was successful in receiving nearly $500,000 from Round 2 of the Federal Government’s Smart Cities and Suburbs Fund to help us use data to plan, monitor and manage our sports fields. We all know sport and recreation facilities are highly utilised. But we have a poor understanding of how they are actually used outside of organised sport, this exciting initiative seeks to address this gap so that Council can better deliver on related services and challenge where and what type of facilities Council plans in the future. The Federal Government funding will be supplemented by Council resources. I’ll keep a close eye on this exciting project as Council’s Sports Portfolio Holder and as I return to being a proud local representative and Iramoo Ward Councillor. Regards, Peter Maynard

New light on expedition By Alesha Capone After months of determination and painstaking research into the Hume and Hovell expedition, Lance Pritchard may have rewritten history. The widely held view of the famous expedition, which took place in 1824-25, is that it ended at Corio Bay. But Mr Pritchard, secretary of Werribee District Historical Society, has issued a report challenging that view. His report concludes the Hume and Hovell expedition actually terminated at the Werribee River. Mr Pritchard said his interest in the subject was sparked when he saw a copy of a map, showing part of the expedition’s route, on display at the State Library of Victoria. It was the first published map of the expedition, contained in an 1837 book by Hume and Hovell. “I saw that and I thought, ‘Hang on, that’s not Corio Bay’,” Mr Pritchard said. Mr Pritchard said he decided to do some digging to figure out the exact area portrayed on the map, including reading Hovell’s journal of the expedition and examining the last three days of the trek in great detail. Mr Pritchard’s report states that the rivers and creeks in the map, on the west side of Port Phillip, are shown in “very much the correct location of the Werribee River and Kororoit Creek”. Hume and Hovell’s book also said that at a certain point, the expedition altered its course to south-west and travelled “six miles in that direction along the shore”. According to Mr Pritchard’s report, there is no shoreline of six miles (9.6 kilometres) in Corio Bay. But the report states this is a “perfect

description” of the shoreline between Point Cook and the mouth of Werribee River. Mr Pritchard said he believed that the long-held belief Hume and Hovell finished their expedition at Corio Bay, rather than Werribee River, relied on incorrect secondary information published after their deaths. Mr Pritchard, who has published his findings

online, said he also intended to publish them in book form next year. The State Library of Victoria has told Mr Pritchard it would like to acquire the book for its collection. Mr Pritchard said that if his theory about the Hume and Hovell expedition was accepted, it could be “terrific” for Wyndham tourism. Details: humehovellexpedition.com

Elder abuse a blight on Wyndham By Alesha Capone Police have recorded hundreds of crimes committed against elderly people in Wyndham in a 12-month period, with the majority of offences flagged as family violence. Between July last year and June this year, there were 305 crimes committed against people aged 65 or older in Wyndham (compared to 315 crimes in the previous 12 months). Of the 305 crimes, 270 were classified as being in the category of family violence, according to the state’s Crime’s Statistics Agency. The crimes included 130 thefts, 77 burglaries/

breaking-and-entering, 40 instances of property damage and 34 assaults and related offences. The agency last month released a study into the number of crimes committed against Victoria’s senior citizens in the 10 years to December, 2017. In that time, there were 141,550 crimes committed against the state’s elderly residents, with a total of 2033 crimes against the person, including homicides, assaults, sexual assaults and robberies. Of the 2033 crimes, 30.4 per cent were committed by family members. The perpetrator

was known to the victim in more than 62 per cent of cases. Wyndham police Inspector Marty Allison said elder abuse was “a real issue right across the state and right across Australia”. Inspector Allison said that anecdotally, family violence against senior citizens was often perpetrated by adult children aged in

their 40s to 60s, sometimes with mental illness involved. He said such abuse was likely to continue if there was no intervention by law enforcement or a support agency. “A lot of victims of assault within the family home, by their children, are very reluctant to report it because they don’t want to get their children in strife,” Inspector Allison said. He encouraged anyone concerned about elder abuse to contact police or an agency such as Women’s Health West. For assistance, contact Women’s Health West on 9689 9588 or the safe steps Family Violence Response line on 1800 015 188.

Storing up good will The Salvation Army thrift shop in Werribee has a new look and is looking for volunteers. Store manager Tom Jeffrey said the Synnot Street shop had been revamped and organised into sections, such as bric-a-brac, clothing and entertainment, to make it easier for customers to navigate. Now they’re in need of more volunteers, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Mr Jeffrey said anyone wishing to volunteer could visit the store to chat with him, and later undergo the required checks and orientation. He said volunteering in the shop was a good way to get gain experience in retail. Debra Synnott, a team leader at the store, said she has been volunteering there for 10 years. “It’s just good to meet the people, it’s just good work,” she said. “Many customers come in and say, ‘Hi,’ and have a chat.”

Captain Kim Haworth, from the Wyndham City Salvation Army Corps, said profits from the thrift shop went towards running community programs. “Areas covered include working with youth, providing food and support to vulnerable people, and providing hot showers, clothes washing facilities, meals and other assistance as required,” she said.

In what is regarded as a shock decision, the Board of Works has approved the location of a shopping centre along Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing. The shock comes because the Board of Works, in the past, has followed the recommendation of the local council in the location of shopping centres in a municipality.

Eyebrows are being raised in Laverton and it is all because of the antics of a Dalmatian dog and a waddling duck. Curious residents often peep out from behind the curtains as two year-old Jilba and ten week-old “Daisy” the duck venture out for daily walks with owner Beverley Dyer.

Wyndham is to become part of a pilot scheme giving first-time drug offenders a chance at a clean record. From December 1, people caught with small amounts of drugs will be offered the option of a caution, on the condition they undergo drug assessment and treatment.

MY WYNDHAM Tania Kelaart, a Hoppers Crossing resident of 30 years, volunteers for a number of organisations. The founder of the Wyndham Women’s Support Group recently received a Lalor Hero award for her efforts. She chats with Charlene Macaulay. What’s your connection to Wyndham?

this in Wyndham, because it’s such a positive place for women to come and meet.

I migrated from Sri Lanka about 32 years ago and we were living in Prahan for a couple of years renting because my husband worked in South Yarra. We were looking around to buy a house and settle down, have a family, and we looked around a little bit on both sides [of the city]. When we came to Wyndham, we felt it was a really great place at that time to bring up a family because it was sort of semi-country and there was freshness in the air.

You also volunteer at a number of other organisations. I do a lot of voluntary work at my local church, I’m in the choir – we have a family choir, actually. I’m also part of the Good Samaritan Ministry. We visit isolated and elderly people within our parish. I’m also involved with the Burmese community. On a Friday afternoon I go to Wyndham Park Community Centre and help with a homework club for those from refugee backgrounds. I’m also involved with an anxiety recovery group, which runs once a month on a Monday. I’m also involved with IPC Health – I’m on one of the committees there. We come from a very community-based culture, so it’s important for us to reach out to other people.

How did you meet your husband, Darrel? I was in school back in Sri Lanka, I was 15, and we used to catch the same bus going to school. I would also see him at my local church, so that’s where we really got to know each other and it sparked from there. It’s been a long-time relationship – we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last year. My three kids were all born here, they went to school here, the lot. (Damjan Janevski)

Do you have a favourite Wyndham spot?

You founded the Wyndham Women’s Support Group. Tell me about that. I started it about three-and-a-half years ago with a friend of mine. Both of us had a background in counselling and we had wanted for a long time to set up a group for women, so we connected with Wyndham City Council … through that we were assisted through a program called the Health Champions. We focused on mental health for women and from that we started our first support group. We

were looking at women who were experiencing grief and loss and isolation and it evolved to a group of more general support for women. We give them a safe space to come and talk and be listened to … I try and support them through whatever they’re going through.

We also do various activities throughout the term. We have a group at the Wyndham Plaza library that runs on a Thursday from 10.30am to 1pm, and the other one is at Arndell Park Community Centre in Truganina on a Monday. I do wish that we can build many groups like

Just this week, my two daughters and I went to the Coffee Pot – it’s beautiful because you can see the river. I like the rose garden. I also love going to Werribee South and driving past all the market gardens and eventually getting to the harbour. If there was one thing you could change about the area, what would it be? I think we need more and more places for people to connect; and more support for people with various issues or problems.

A winning formula When Ross and Linda Cooper rescued Autobarn Hoppers Crossing from looming closure three years ago, they had a simple philosophy – win one new customer every day. “It must be working,” says a happy Linda. “Along with our boys, Dougie and Josh, we are now one of the fastest-growing stores in the Autobarn stable and the biggest in Melbourne. “We took a fresh approach to the business, while our store manager, Glenn Sullivan, contributed his vast retail experience. “Glenn’s worked with Brash’s, Harvey Norman and RetraVision – and now our customers get to benefit from his expertise.” Ross and Linda are no strangers to the business world.

“Customers often see a black or yellow labrador roaming around store,” Ross says. “That’s because our family is a respite carer for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia.

Store manager Glenn Sullivan with owners Linda and Ross Cooper. (Damjan Janevski) get an in-store discount for starters, but sports and car clubs and even men’s health groups receive this Autobarn’s support.

The Cooper family shows a vital interest in the community and lends a hand in many ways.

Beneficiaries include Ford Muscle Car Club, Werribee and District Angling Club and Hoppers Crossing Football Club, as well as Cruising Knights, Renegade Hot Rodders and Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club – among others.

Aside from all that “fun” stuff, the store has an extensive audio and entertainment area with all the expected brands – Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, MTX and Pioneer included. It’s also carries Blackvue dash cameras and Viper car security,

Three professionals fit and install products, with customers getting an extended warranty on products fitted in-store.

“As Castrol says, ‘oils ain’t oils’, so ask our knowledgable staff because at Autobarn Hoppers Crossing, we know how!” Ross says.

Price: $780,000 – $830,000

It’s hard not to gush about this place: stunning location, beautiful house and sublime outdoor spaces – it’s a frontrunner in all aspects. Looking for all the world like an original California bungalow, the house shows exemplary craftsmanship and a clever design eye in the ways the original footprint has been tweaked. Now in its 18th year, the whole place looks fresher, younger and way more stylish than it did at its creation. The location is in a few strides of Lollipop Creek and at the end of arguably the prettiest cul-de-sac around: Wyndham

Private sale

Green estate’s dress-circle address. Beyond a horseshoe driveway and lovely gardens, entry to the house is under a porch laid with tessellated tiles. The entry hall has blond Tasmanian oak floorboards which, on their way into the living domain, head past an open grey-carpeted lounge room. An elegant room, it has a deep sill and leadlight panes on window, ornate cornices, ceiling rosette and a gas log fire with traditional surround. An open study next door has an amazing amount of richly stained timber joinery including two workstations.

The giant hub, with cute wood heater, incorporates a chic Hamptons-influenced kitchen with a big island bench topped with marble-look stone; this has a butler’s sink with provincial tapware and sits under a trio of snazzy pendants. Joinery is soft-close, the 900mm cooker is a designer Smeg and the dishwasher is Miele. Off the kitchen, a step-down plushly carpeted theatre room with moody soft-chocolate wall paint has dimmable wall sconces and all movie equipment. It neighbours a gym/hobby space that accesses the drive-through double garage.

Of the three bedrooms, two with 2pac joinery and built-in robe, the main has a fab dressing room and a dual-basin en suite. Now for the wow outdoors, accessed via a pair of french doors. A massive pergola houses a barbecue kitchen, a wood heater, TV and sound system and strip heaters. Behind a glass fence and rimmed by extraordinary tropical gardens there’s a solar-heated salt pool as centrepiece of a truly luxe resort space – there’s even a grotto water feature.

Auction flop no cause for concern “Some buyers are reading too much into the market, lowballing the vendors and expecting them to just take the offer,” said one Sydney agent. “If the buyers aren’t prepared to sell on auction day, someone will pay more the following week, generally.” Buyer and vendor advocate Mark Brilliant said a pass-in could also be used by agents as a way to extract more cash. “With a buyer, my advice is hold your ground as long as you can,” he said. “If you are the only bidder, you are the market.” Mr Brilliant said most post-auction prices could be above the highest bid because buyers get caught up in the emotion of auction day.

‘‘

There’s still opportunities to sell within the 24 hours after the auction

’’

- Justin Nickerson

This is an edited version of a story by Jim Malo on domain.com.au

(iStock)

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll have to pass the property in …” It’s the words that home owners dread. But, according to a real estate tech firm, an auction flop is not necessarily cause for alarm. Auction streaming service Gavl analysed the results of 463 Sydney and Melbourne properties that sold after auction, and found they fetched an average of $41,660 more than the highest bid. With the nationwide clearance rate hovering slightly above 50 per cent, auctions are proving nerve-racking for many sellers. Gavl’s Justin Nickerson said most home owners believed that if their property was passed in, it would sell for less than the last bid. “It’s a misconception that sellers have,” he said. “If it goes a certain way they think that’s the highest bid and after the auction they will have to negotiate down, but chances are it’s going to be above that.” Mr Nickerson said it was often the case that buyers would pay a premium to secure a home outside auction conditions. “Going to market has shifted a little bit, but there’s still opportunities to sell within the 24 hours after the auction,” he said. “People with terms and conditions in their contract can pay more afterwards.” He said falling clearance rates in Melbourne didn’t mean the art of auctioning a property was falling by the wayside. “Understanding the role that the auction plays is important,” he said. “Sometimes it can set up a point for negotiation.”

SPORT Werribee showing fine signs for 2019 continued improvement and for him to really match it with some of the AFL-listed ruckman and ultimately potentially get some interest at AFL level.” Pinnuck has featured in 21 senior games in his first two years with Werribee. An impressive maiden VFL campaign saw him play in the AFL Victoria Young Guns game. But he could not kick on this year after suffering a sindesmosis injury halfway through the season that restricted him to nine games. Even in limited appearances, Pinnuck showed that he can be an integral part of the back six with impressive performances as a rebounding defender. If Pinnuck can stay injury free, Balloch envisages a time when AFL clubs might come calling. “We’ve seen what Louis has been able to do as a rebounding defender and we want to try to give him multiple strings to his bow,” Balloch said. Former Werribee and Footscray ruckman Darcy Fort has been drafted by Geelong with pick 65. Fort has been playing with Central District in the SANFL. Lance Jenkinson

Giant night for captain By Lance Jenkinson Knowing it would be his last chance for some time, Western Jets captain Xavier O’Halloran savoured every moment that he got to spend with his family on Saturday before his impending flight to Sydney on Sunday. The reality was setting in that he would be leaving his family home of 18 years and moving interstate after being drafted into the AFL by the Greater Western Sydney Giants with pick 22. O’Halloran had been working diligently towards his dream of becoming a professional footballer throughout his time with the Jets and knew there was a strong possibility he would be forced to leave Victoria. While there will be an obvious transition period that comes with such a major life change, O’Halloran could not be more excited. “I knew a couple of months ago that there was a possibility that I’d have to move interstate,” he said. “I’m accepting of that. Once I’m on the plane, it will all be real … I’ll definitely be super excited then.” O’Halloran’s selection was outstanding value for the Giants – getting the Vic Metro captain with pick 22 could be viewed as a steal. O’Halloran was exemplary on and off the field for the Jets in the TAC Cup, which translated into selection for Vic Metro. He shone in the Big V at the under-18 national championships. Be it as a midfielder or across half-forward, O’Halloran showed plenty of poise. The 18-year-old is at ease in heavy traffic as a midfielder, while he can create separation from an opponent as a forward. Expect the St Bernard’s product to thrive in the elite environment of an AFL club. It is not only his on-field play that would have made O’Halloran an attractive proposition to the Giants. He is a noted leader at every level he has played. “I’m hoping to be able to provide the club some good footy and continue to do that as long as I can,” he said. “Also, hopefully show the leadership skills that I’ve shown through the Jets and school footy, as well as Vic Metro.” O’Halloran’s draft night was a bit different to the norm. The youngster from Altona did not get an invite to night one, so he thought he might not be taken as one of the first 22 players. But that all changed when the Giants called out his name.

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ After

seven years out of the hot seat, Chris Murphy has jumped back into the role as president of the Spotswood Football Club. The Murphy name is synonymous with the Woodsmen, with his parents Len and Joan long, long time servants of the club. Chris is as passionate about local footy and his club as anyone I have met and he will continue on the good work done by Alan Given over the past seven years. Annette McLaren continues in her role as administrator (now in her 16th year) and Michelle Langlands continues as treasurer for her fourth year. Spotswood is a powerhouse club in the WRFL with a very healthy junior and senior history, and is a trailblazer in the development of female footy in the west. More importantly is the roll Joan makes rather than plays, as her sausage rolls are the best I have tasted.

■ Hoppers

Crossing Sports Club held its annual awards night last Saturday with three new inductees into the club’s Hall of Fame. Recently retired footballer Matt Ryan joined cricketers Greg Kennedy and Mark Craig to receive the highest accolade from the club. With nearly 1000 games between them, each was well deserving of the honour. Chris Guy was named the Rising Star after a breakout year with the Warriors and Jason Dowie deservedly received the Committee Person of the Year award for his untiring work for the football club. Big news at the football club is the move by Shane Buckingham to step down as president.

■ In

the early days of the WRFL radio coverage moving to WYN FM there were a few people who were less than helpful. One of the people who gave great moral support from within the radio station was David Kennedy. Sadly David passed away earlier this month. David was a life member of the North Melbourne Football Club, after 30 plus years service, and his passion for the Kangaroos was shared with his love of broadcasting and presenting his jazz and music shows on WYN FM. A gentleman through and through, a loyal and decent man, he will be sadly missed.

“You could say I got the best of both worlds,” he said. “I got to spend my time with my close family [watching the draft on TV] and then being able to go in [to Marvel Stadium] later, about 15 minutes after hearing my name called out and meet all of the GWS team. It was a pretty surreal night.” O’Halloran joins former Western Jets alumni Callan Ward and Adam Kennedy at the Giants.

Zak Butters was the first Western Jets player taken in the draft. The speedy midfielder from Darley was selected by Port Adelaide with pick 12. Butters missed the second half of his top-age year with the Jets after undergoing shoulder surgery, but not before he had impressed for Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships.

Louis Pinnuck has re-committed to Werribee for 2019. (Damjan Janevski)

Werribee Football Club has announced key re-signings in Jack Berry and Louis Pinnuck. Berry, a towering ruckman, will stay on for a second year at Watton Street, while for Pinnuck, a defender, it will be his third year in the black and gold. The latest re-signings mean Werribee has 10 players locked away for coach Mark Williams’ first season in charge. Berry impressed in his first season at Werribee. He played 17 of a possible 18 games and established himself as the No.1 ruckman who could pinch hit as a forward. With second ruckman Nick Nott sustaining a season-ending knee injury, Berry was forced to ruck one-out on occasions, but he proved to be an indefatigable competitor for his side. Werribee football operations manager Stuart Balloch believes Berry, 22, can go up another level after a big pre-season. “Jack came from limited opportunities at Geelong and was able to not only step in and take that first ruck, but then shoulder the burden of the ruck when Nick went down,” Balloch said. “So it was a terrific effort in his first year with the club. We’re hopeful of seeing some

Bees cruise back to the winners’ list The smiles have returned for Werribee in Bowls Victoria division 1. A comfortable 98-82 win over Brunswick was just the tonic needed for a bubbly mood at Chirnside Park on Saturday evening. The key to victory for the Bees was a fast start from the Peter Yassar rink, which went on a stunning 21-2 run before finishing 34-17. Rob Patton’s rink was also victorious for the Bees, running out a 28-15 victor. The big margins of the Bees’ winning rinks was eno to cover for the losing rinks of Rob Smith (27-22) and Ian Milledge (23-14). Werribee’s first win since the middle of October brought an end to a four-game losing streak. The Bees have moved up to eighth on the ladder and within 22 points of fourth. Can they make it two wins in a row when they face second-placed Sunbury away on Saturday?

Sports shorts

Hoppers had a day to forget in division 2, upset 100-55 by Port Melbourne away. Hoppers skip Rob Waugh lamented his team’s inability to get to grips with the surface at Port Melbourne. “We took too long to adapt to Port’s new Tiger Turf green,” he said. “By the time we did, it was to late.” All four rinks finished down for Hoppers, which lost further ground on the top four. Hoppers will be hoping to eat into the 22-point gap between itself and fourth when it hosts high-flying Yarraville-Footscray on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson

Rasheed Sheikh-Omar will step up to coach Truganina Hornets in 2019. (Damjan Janevski)

Soccer

Truganina Hornets have appointed Rasheed Sheikh-Omar as head coach for 2019. Sheikh-Omar is a familiar face around Arndell Park Reserve, having been involved as a player and assistant coach. Most recently, Sheikh-Omar was part of the state league 4 reserves title-winning team. Werribee City reappointed head coach Sergio Sabbadini towards the end of the NPL season, but made it official to supporters recently. Senior assistant coach Craig Moore, technical director John Waddell, under-20 assistant coach Joe Santalucia and goalkeeping coach Rainer Reber have also been recontracted. The Bees have landed the signatures of former New Zealand national league defenders David Parkinson and Julyan Collett.

Baseball

Werribee Giants have earned a split in the first two games of their three-game series against Newport Rams in the Baseball Victoria summer league division 2. In the mid-week game on Thursday evening, the Giants’ offensive game eluded them as they went down 5-0 on home soil at President Park. On their home diamond on Sunday, the Giants eked out a 2-1 victory. The series will move to Newport’s KC White Reserve for the third game on Sunday.

Draft highs, lows for Jets By Lance Jenkinson In every AFL draft, there are hard luck stories. Outgoing Western Jets coach Torin Baker felt that Stefan Radovanovic, Daly Andrews and Connor Thar drew the short straw out of the Jets this year. The Jets had Zak Butters (Port Adelaide) and Xavier O’Halloran (GWS Giants) picked up in the first round, while eyebrows were raised when Buku Khamis slid beyond the draft and to the Western Bulldogs with an academy pre-selection before the rookie draft, but at least he landed on an AFL list. For Radovanovic and Andrews, both Vic Metro representatives, and Thar, who came second in the Morrish Medal and took out the Barry Round Medal for Jets best and fairest, it was a night of disappointment. The talented trio missed out as a consequence of one of the deepest draft pools in years and the AFL clubs strategy to go for ready-made VFL players later in the draft. “Obviously I was rapt for Zak and Xavier who went in the first round,” Baker said. “That was really good efforts from those 50 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 28, 2018

two boys and they were certainly thoroughly deserving of their seasons and the projections as to where their footy might get to. “I was surprised that a club didn’t bid on Buku, very surprised considering he’s come off an All Australian year, but the fact is, he still gets to the club that he wanted to get to. “I am disappointed that one of our other boys didn’t get an opportunity in Stefan, Daly or Connor. “I thought they were certainly in the unlucky group and there’s always unlucky players. “They would feel that they could’ve had an opportunity somewhere.” Butters was secured by Port Adelaide with pick 12 in the draft. Baker sees the speedy 18-year-old midfielder/ half-forward as a perfect fit for the Power. “He goes to a club where they’ve had a couple of players leaving like Chad Wingard and Jake Neade, so they’re looking for a player of his [Butters] type to play that role [across half-forward],” he said. O’Halloran was one of the finest leaders in Baker’s time at the Jets. Not only did the tough-as-nails midfielder captain the Jets, but

his leadership qualities were recognised with the skipper’s role for Vic Metro. Baker sees similarities between O’Halloran and his new teammate and GWS Giants captain Callan Ward. “I can see Xavier being teamed up with Callan Ward and them being two peas in a pod really with the way they go about it,” Baker said. “He’s an elite character and that’s part of the reason why clubs wanted to get him. “I know there was a few disappointed clubs that he didn’t slip to them because you’re going to get a really good leader as well as a good player.” Baker was “staggered” that Khamis was not bid on by another AFL club. Khamis was linked to the Western Bulldogs through the Next Generation Academy, but other clubs had the chance to select him in the draft and force the Bulldogs to surrender a draft pick. However, no bid came, to the surprise of Baker, leaving the Bulldogs to have a free run at home after the main draft. For more AFL draft coverage, log on to www. starweekly.com.au.

Honda hits the mark with CR-V By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

AT A GLANCE

Julie and I were both overdue for a long, relaxing holiday and the offer of a press test of the new fifth generation Honda CR-V arrived at just the right time. It would be hard to pick a better vehicle for reasons that will become evident later in our review. We took the Honda from our Gold Coast home to far western Queensland by way of the Warrego and Landsborough highways through Roma, Charleville and Barcaldine to Longreach. We spent several days on Longreach, touring the Qantas Founders Museum, the Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre. Not to mention just sitting around, reading or not doing much at all in the wide open spaces. Then back home on the Capricorn and Burnett highways through Emerald and Kingaroy till we joined the boring M1 Motorway and on down to home. We stayed in a farm, a guest house, cabins in camping areas and even a small mining camp. All good fun! Though off-road driving wasn’t part of the plan the fact that the gen-five Honda CR-V has a ground clearance of 208 mm (almost reaching the unofficial 210 mm that’s accepted beneath a true 4WD) meant that we could traverse dirt road with ease as centre humps, fire trails and the like. Two or all-wheel-drive systems are offered, ours was the 2WD, we would have preferred the AWD, but beggars can’t be choosers. Powertrain Power comes from a high-tech 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine. It has 140kW of power and 240Nm of torque all the way from 2000 to 5000 revs.

MODEL RANGE 2.0 Vi 2WD: $28,290 (automatic) 1.5 VTi 2WD: $30,690 (automatic) 1.5 VTi-S 2WD: $33,290 (automatic) 1.5 VTi-L 2WD: $38,990 (automatic) 1.5 VTi-S AWD: $35,490 (automatic) 1.5 VTi-LX AWD: $44,290 (automatic) Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges.

The CR-V’s engine sits beside a CVT automatic that keeps the revs at exactly the right place all the time. Driving We lowered the beautifully engineered Honda backseats to give us a perfectly flat platform stretching all the way from the tailgate to the front seats. Just behind the front seat backs we placed a bed for boisterous Bailey, our standard French poodle. Behind him was plenty of space for all of our luggage, including handle areas in the rear corners for items we didn’t want to

move around. Driving on smooth roads the Honda was quiet and unflustered, indeed there was near silence from the tyres on motorways. Some coarse-chip surfaces – and there are plenty of them in the outback – added significant noise, but not to an uncomfortable level. Comfort is good and the seats support well even over ultra long distances. Steering is light and responsive, but obviously I didn’t try any hard cornering as neither my wife nor our dog would have appreciated it. The cruise control is easy to set up and adjust

Summing up It would be hard to pick a better vehicle for our extended holiday trip than the Honda CR-V. The flat load space is arguably better than anything in its class and comfort is very impressive.

on the move. For some reason every time I go into the dry areas of the Australian bush it rains. This trip was no different and when we were on the Warrego Highway there were times the Honda’s wipers were flat out and we had to slow to 80km/h. Once west of the Dividing Range the speed limit is 110km/h so the engine was sitting at 2100rpm virtually all the time. The CR-V’s engine is smooth and responsive with a minimum of turbo lag. The transmission is always in the correct ratio – which is hardly a surprise given that it has an infinite number of ‘gears’ between the lowest and highest ratios in the automatic. So good is the powertrain that we averaged a mere 6.6 litres per hundred kilometres for the entire trip of just over 2500 kilometres.
