Marathon effort
By Ewen McRae Bob Carey-Grieve looks back on 2016 with conflicting thoughts. While his beloved Bulldogs lifted the AFL premiership cup, a night in November turned his life upside down. Waking early in the morning to find he couldn’t move his right arm or leg, what followed for the Wyndham council employee was nearly two years of medical tests and treatment to find a path back to health. “It was like waking from a nightmare, but I couldn’t remember it,” the father of two said. “I got out of bed, tried to walk and fell straight down. At that point I did think it was a stroke, but my face looked fine so I ruled that out. “I went to the hospital for assessment and tests, and the next day I was told I’d had two strokes at the same time.
‘‘
I had to phone my wife in floods of tears
’’
- Bob Carey-Grieve
“The most difficult thing about that was they couldn’t tell me why I’d had a stroke. My heart was fine, my blood pressure was fine, so no one could say what was wrong with me. “The anxiety and fear around not getting that answer to ‘why?’ was worse than the stroke itself.” Mr Carey-Grieve, then 42, went through six months of treatments before a visit to a cardiologist at The Alfred Hospital revealed a 4mm hole in his heart. “I couldn’t really do anything for two months from there, because any stress could make the hole bigger,” he said.
“You exercise, or you get anxious, or you have a curry, and it could make it worse.” He had surgery to fix the hole in his heart, but was back in hospital just months later after his course of blood thinners led to a number of faintings. More tests soon revealed he had a tumor in his bowel. “I had to phone my wife in floods of tears, it was just before Christmas 2017,” he said. “On the first of February I had 30cm of bowel cut out, and a month later I came back for a meeting and they told me that of the 14 lymph nodes they took out, one showed signs that the cancer had spread.” Mr Carey-Grieve underwent six months of chemotherapy. Now in the clear, he is preparing to run a half marathon on July 29 to raise funds for the Stroke Foundation. The run will mark a year since he finished chemotherapy.
“People often say that I’ve had a run of bad luck, but slightly perversely I’ve been quite lucky,” he said. “Whilst the stroke was terrible, it was an indicator that there were other things wrong. We may never have found the tumor without it. “I decided that I’d had about a two-and-a-half year tangle with death, constantly stressed and in fear, and I needed a process to deal with that. “So I started off with early morning walks, just 20 yards at first, but I kept going and now I’ve got the target of the half marathon. “I now get up stupidly early, put on some heavy metal music and run off into the hills. I try to see the sunrise each day, and what a difference that makes to your entire outlook. “If you start every day with a sunrise, I guarantee you’re in a good mood. I’m so happy to be alive and well, and probably fitter than I’ve ever been.”

Police nab pair over burglary By Alesha Capone A police air wing helicopter and K9 unit have helped track down a man and a woman following an alleged burglary in the Manor Lakes area. Police were called to a construction site at a school on Minindee Road about 2.45am on June 9 after receiving reports of two people behaving suspiciously and allegedly trying to enter the premises.
Following a brief search of the area by officers, the air wing and K9 unit, a man and a woman were arrested. A 37-year-old Wyndham Vale man and 31-year-old Werribee woman have since been charged with burglary, theft, trespass, going equipped to steal and committing an indictable offence while on bail. A statement posted on the Wyndham police Eyewatch Facebook page said it was believed the man and woman were allegedly “looking to steal copper piping”.
In a separate case, in April, police arrested four men in relation to a series of copper thefts from sports and recreational reserves and schools in Brimbank, Melton and Wyndham. A 27-year-old Taylors Lakes man, a 33-year-old Taylors Lakes man, a 35-year-old Keilor Downs man and a 28-year-old Hillside man were arrested and charged with theft. All four were remanded to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 16.
In March, unidentified thieves stole copper cabling valued at more than $200,000 from sports facilities in Wyndham. At the time, Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said there had been 10 separate incidents of copper cables being stolen from sports venues within the municipality. “These thefts are very concerning and results in significant work needing to be undertaken to make these facilities fully operational again,” she said.
A return to whimsy excited to take on the role. “Being my last year at school I wanted to throw myself at as much stuff as I could,” Mitchell said. Despite being one of the younger members in the cast, year 6 student Madison, playing LeFou, is also one of the school’s most experienced. She was involved in her first musical at 10 years of age with the Young Australian Broadway Chorus. “I love musicals, and Beauty and The Beast is my favourite Disney film,” Madison said. “My character is pretty clumsy and goofy, which suits me. LeFou is traditionally a boy, so changing it to a girl is really different.” Tickets can be purchased at 8734 6000 or visit wyncc.com.au Esther Lauaki

Heathdale Christian College students are taking on a tale as old as time. Preparations have stepped up for the school’s production of Beauty and the Beast to be staged at the Wyndham Cultural Centre’s Tattersall’s Theatre on July 26 and 27. The cast and crew of more than 85 students have been finetuning their performance and perfecting makeup, costumes and staging. Director Hayley Kirkpatrick said she felt it was a “great time to bring the classic Beauty and the Beast to the stage for the local community”. “It’s always a big challenge to find the right musical each year,” Ms Kirkpatrick said. “It has to have a big cast and suit the character of the students we have. “In the past couple of years, we’ve chosen more serious productions like Oliver and Fiddler on the Roof. “This year we wanted to return to something fun, vibrant and whimsical.” Year 12 lead Mitchell, who will play Gaston, is a first-timer to musicals but said he was

Food faults lead to $25,000 fine By Alesha Capone A Hoppers Crossing food premises owner has been fined $25,000 after pleading guilty to 11 charges relating to the cleanliness of their premises and unsatisfactory food handling practices. At a hearing at the Sunshine Magistrates Court last month, the proprietor pleaded guilty to charges relating to offences under the Food Act, including: • Failing to handle food that was intended for sale in a safe manner. • Failing to maintain a level of cleanliness where there was no accumulation of garbage, food waste, dirt, grease or other visible matter.
• Failing to take all practicable measures to eradicate and prevent pests from the premises. • Storing or packaging food in a manner that did not prevent its contamination and may have affected its safety and suitability. • Failing to ensure the food contact surfaces of equipment were in a clean and sanitary condition. • Failing to ensure persons undertaking the handling of food had adequate food safety training. • Failing to ensure the food premises, fixtures, fittings and equipment were in a good state of repair and working order.

“Wyndham City checks all 2300 food premises regularly and if the inspectors are not happy with any aspect of the environment, they work with proprietors to achieve a positive resolution without the need for further action. “Prosecution is undertaken in specific circumstances, such as when the risk is deemed as severe; when a history of non-compliance and repeat non-compliance exists or when food premises operators demonstrate an unwillingness to co-operate and comply with relevant legislation.” The council declined to release the name of the Hoppers Crossing food premises’ owner or the business name. According to one report, the business is no longer operating.

“A prison officer does a lot more than just guard prisoners, they’re social workers, they’re teachers and they’re highly trained in tactical response – playing a vital role in preventing reoffending and improving community safety,” Mr Carroll said on a visit to the tactical training site last week. “Our corrections officers go through extensive training so they’re ready to handle anything that might be thrown their way in a job where no two days are the same.” Graduates earned an escort officer qualification, where the squad was taught the advanced techniques needed to manage potentially complex incidents in prisons or while providing prisoner escorts. Corrections Commissioner Emma Cassar said tactical training gives the recruits the communication skills and response strategies they need to respond to incidents.

Local focus for future Wyndham By Alesha Capone Wyndham council has outlined a future vision that includes the transformation of Hoppers Crossing, Werribee’s CBD and Williams Landing into “economic hubs” and several new train stations. The council’s Wyndham Urban Framework Plan, Emerging Options Paper Paper, which will be open for public feedback until July 5, states that the council’s vision is to create “20-minute neighbourhoods” so that residents can live, work and study closer to their homes.
The plan states nearly 65 per cent of Wyndham’s residents travel outside the municipality to work, with a large majority working in Melbourne CBD. Alongside the urban framework plan, the council has released a plan showing public transport upgrades for which it will seek funding from state and federal governments. The plan shows “potential” railway stations the council would like to see built at Black Forest Road, Derrimut Road, Browns Road, Werribee Racecourse, Sayers Road, Tarneit West and Truganina.
The plan includes a “potential trackless tram” connecting the Derrimut Road station to the existing Tarneit station. The trackless tram would travel close to the existing Hoppers Crossing station, the proposed East Werribee precinct of the Werribee National Employment and Innovation Cluster, through Williams Landing and past Point Cook Town Centre. The plan also features a future rail linkage between the Black Forest and Browns roads and Werribee Racecourse stations and the existing Werribee station.
Werribee council’s city economy, innovation and liveability director Peter McKinnon said the council was “actively planning to grow the economy to cater for the expanding population”. The urban framework plan document states that in 2011, Wyndham residents took about 650,000 daily trips out of home, with this number predicted to reach a 1.3 million trips a day by 2036. See theloop.wyndham.vic.gov.au/urbanplan to provide feedback on the Urban Framework Plan, Emerging Options Paper Paper.
Recycling hits the road Two new recycling plants in Laverton North will supply road base, aggregates, sand and asphalt to help build environment-friendly roads and rail projects. The Alex Fraser high-tech asphalt and glass recycling facilities opened earlier this month. Managing director Peter Murphy said the facilities incorporated features to improve resource recovery and increase recycled content in construction materials. They also provided significant capacity increase in resources urgently needed to supply Victoria’s Big Build. “These new $20 million facilities are part of Alex Fraser’s long-term investment in improving resource recovery and infrastructure sustainability for Victoria,” he said. “Currently, Victorian households generate mountains of problem glass waste every year. “Our glass recycling plant is capable of producing 800 tonnes of construction sand per
day – equivalent to four million glass bottles. The recycled high technology asphalt plant produces over half a million tonnes of green asphalt a year.” He said plants would supply material for major projects including the Western Roads Upgrade and Level Crossing Removal. Mr Murphy said the use of the materials would result in significant commercial and environmental savings, including a decrease in landfill, heavy vehicle movements and carbon footprint of new projects. “We have created a unique network of facilities capable of supplying large volumes of quality materials to infrastructure projects throughout metropolitan Melbourne … critical to developing markets for recycled materials that take pressure off Melbourne’s kerbside recycling program,” he said.

Class crush as enrolments soar Victorian schools will have to squeeze in 25,000 more students than initially projected as enrolments soar at an unprecedented rate over the next five years. The Education Department has revised its enrolment figures and now anticipates that state, Catholic and independent schools will have to accommodate 115,000 extra students. The new figures, obtained by The Age and based on updated Census data, eclipse previous projections of 90,000 additional students between 2018 and 2023.
‘‘
New students are arriving every week
’’
- Nadia Bettio
While the state government is confident its record investment in new schools and upgrades will meet the demand, principals fear it could be a challenge if current trends continue. Overcrowded schools are already rolling out three-storey portables, running classes in hallways and staggering lunch times. And many newly opened state schools are already having to turn away out-of-zone families or are preparing to do so next year. Victorian Education Minister James Merlino said he’d embarked on the biggest school building boom in the state’s history, with 100 new state schools to open over eight years. “We are the fastest growing state in the country and that is reflected in our student numbers,” he said.
“This most recent budget saw an increase in funding for infrastructure to $1.8 billion up from $1.25 billion the previous year.” Australian Principals Federation president Julie Podbury said some new schools were opening without all the required facilities. She referred to a school in Melbourne’s west which opened without shade cloth or air conditioning. “I know that the department is working very hard to try to accommodate the burgeoning enrolments in government schools,” she said. “But the things that make them habitable and workable are not always being provided.” Victorian state, Catholic and independent schools will have to accommodate one million students by next year – a figure reached a year earlier than expected. Around two-thirds of these enrolments will be in state schools. Tarneit Rise Primary School is less than two years old and has already grown from 200 to 700 students. Next year, the school will have to accommodate more than 900 students. “It can be challenging because new students are arriving every week,” said principal Nadia Bettio. “We have 23 students starting next week and that’s like a whole new class. At the moment we are having to recruit new teachers.” The school has exceeded the space in its permanent buildings and has rolled out six portables to manage the growth. “It’s an exciting place to work,” Ms Bettio said. “It is so fast-paced.”

Ten-minute train timetable push By Alesha Capone A Greens MP has called for Melbourne’s metropolitan trains and trams to run at least every 10 minutes between 6am and 9pm daily. Prahran MP Sam Hibbins raised the issue in state Parliament earlier this month, saying the “turn-up-and-go” system could be implemented using existing rail infrastructure, including that in Wyndham. Mr Hibbins said the proposal, which was a Greens policy at the last election, had been costed by the Parliamentary Budget Office, which found that 10-minute services could be implemented on Melbourne’s train lines for $160 million a year and for $40 million a year on the tram network. “Some experts have thought that figure could actually be brought down quite substantially, and it is next to nothing against one of the government’s mega-toll roads like the North East Link,” Mr Hibbins said. He said that the 10-minute system could be implemented on lines where commuters sometimes have to wait up to 20 minutes between trains, including Werribee, Upfield, Mernda and Craigieburn. The state government was contacted for comment. Meanwhile, buses will replace trains on the Werribee line between 8.20pm on Saturday, June 22, to the last train on Sunday, June 23, due to works. Public Transport Victoria has warned that journey times may increase by up to 40 minutes. Train replacement bus stops will be located in Altair Street, Williams Landing; the bus interchange in the Hoppers Crossing station carpark; and the bus interchange in front of Werribee station, near Manly Street.

Cold front hits Iramoo primary Iramoo Primary School pupils beat the winter chills wearing their favourite beanies last week to raise money for Motor Neuron Disease research. The school held a “mini Big Freeze” event last Tuesday as part of the FightMND fundraising initiative. Principal Moira Findlay said the event was a fun way to spread the word about MND. “One of our staff members had two of her family members diagnosed with MND recently and she wanted to find a way to raise money and awareness about the illness,” Ms Findlay said. “Some of the teachers dressed up in costumes and it was a chance for them to have some fun with a lot of ice. “The children were hysterical … it was a really good, fun time for the children as well as the teachers.” Ms Findlay said the school raised close to $1000 on the day and through online donations.

Council boost for youth jobs and training
Heritage-listed 56-58 Wattle Avenue sold for $1.6 million. (Hocking Stuart Werribee)
$1.6m for heritage house By Alesha Capone A heritage-listed property in Werribee has been sold for $1.6 million. The property at 56-58 Wattle Avenue sold at a mortgagee auction on June 8. A former apricot orchard, the property features a three-bedroom weatherboard house, shed, barn and tennis court on 6215 square metres. Director of hockingstuart Werribee Eric Bartz described the $1.6 million sale as “a very good price”. “We did have a lot of interest from local residents, local buyers and there were a lot of investors looking at the property,” he said.
Mr Bartz said the buyer, a Werribee resident who wishes to remain anonymous, had not outlined his future plans for the site. “It’s an iconic house and it’s heritage-listed, so council approval is needed in regards to what can happen with the house,” Mr Bartz said. The house was formerly home to a prominent member of the Werribee community and World War I hero, Lieutenant Gerald Thompson, and his family. In May 1918, Mr Thompson was awarded the Military Cross “for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty”. Mr Thompson’s son, Sir Thomas Francis “Frank” Little, became the sixth Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne. Another long-time Werribee resident, Betty Christensen, purchased the Wattle Avenue property in the mid-seventies, along with her husband Kaj. Mrs Christensen said they lived there for 18 years, and ran a business called Vendlbo, selling cheese from the cellar and hosting wine-and-cheese nights as fundraisers for different organisations. Mrs Christensen said that after she and her husband moved out of the house, their daughter and son-in-law transformed it into a bed-and-breakfast, before moving on themselves.
Youth unemployment in Wyndham will be tackled under a council initiative to build jobs and education pathways. Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said the west had one of the state’s highest youth unemployment rates – and that was why the council would develop a Social and Economic Inclusion Framework to create practical initiatives. “This project aims to improve economic and social cohesion for young people and their families in Wyndham who are experiencing disadvantage,” Cr Shaw said. “Part of the plan includes the establishment of a social and economic inclusion taskforce to provide employment and education pathways for people facing barriers.” Cr Shaw said the taskforce would help young people fill job positions and put them in contact with people who could assist with employment or training and education. “We have a number of supporting organisations, including North Melbourne Football Club’s The Huddle, and Wyndham Community and Education Centre who are working to deliver specific programs for young people,” Cr Shaw said. The Social and Economic Inclusion Framework will be developed thanks to a $1 million state government grant announced in August last year Details: theloop.wyndham.vic.gov.au/ Social-economic-inclusion-framework

A badminton prodigy Young Tarneit resident Shrey says that winning a national badminton title is like “being on top of the world”. Shrey, 11, played his way to becoming national under-13 singles badminton champion at a tournament in Altona earlier this year. But that success is just one of many he has notched up. Earlier this month, he came first in the under-13 singles and doubles at the state titles in Ballarat. And last year, Shrey came first in the same two categories at the New South Wales Winter Junior Grand Prix. “Playing in competitions is fun – I like playing with my friends,” Shrey said.
Shrey said he took up badminton because his father, Gaurav, is a player. He is hoping to become a professional badminton player and compete at the Olympic Games. He trains three days a week at the Altona Badminton Centre, home of the Western Suburbs Badminton Association, and also plays for the Badminton Academy of Victoria. Shrey also helps out with coaching at the Wyndham Badminton Association. “I’d like to thank my own coaches and the Altona Badminton Centre, home of the WSBA,” Shrey said. Alesha Capone

Frank Hills has now made more than 350 blood donations. Inset: Mr Hills’ first membership card. (Pictures: Damjan Janevski)
Frank’s record history By Alesha Capone Frank Hills is known as something of a “bloody legend” at the Australian Red Cross Werribee Donor Centre. Mr Hills was last week recognised as the highest milestone blood donor in Werribee within the past year. He has made more than 370 blood and plasma donations since he signed up as a donor during the ’60s, and he still has his original
donor’s membership card from 1965. Mr Hills said he started donating blood while working as a tool-making apprentice at ICI in Deer Park. He said the process of collecting blood was quite different in those days – the Red Cross vehicles would attend the factory and the workers would lay down on tables in the canteen to have their blood taken. Mr Hills went on to become a teacher at Galvin Park Secondary College in Werribee, for about 30 years.
During this time, he organised a field trip for students to travel to the donor centre, resulting in about 48 of the teenagers donating blood. However, he said that would not be possible these days, as it is now illegal for anyone aged below 18 years old to donate. Mr Hills said he would encourage all eligible Wyndham residents to become blood donors. Call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au for details.

Wyndham police deployed extra officers to curb unsafe driving during the Queen’s Birthday weekend. Officers detected 56 speedsters on Wyndham roads during Operation Regal, which targeted holiday hot spots, regional highways and city roads over four days. Police picked up 28 unregistered vehicles in Wyndham, 10 disqualified drivers, 12 unlicensed, seven drink drivers and 13 who tested positive for drugs. Wyndham North Senior Sergeant Steve Hayes said police were out in force around Hogans Road and Deloraine Drive in Hoppers Crossing. “It is important that we can get out in the community into areas that may have experienced offending and talk to the people … hear their concerns and offer advice and reassurance,” he said. During the operation, police detected a 19-year-old Darley man who performed burnouts with a 17-year-old in his rear cargo tub of his vehicle. Westgate Highway Patrol impounded the vehicle and the driver was charged with reckless conduct. A 25-year-old Tarneit woman was fined $282 for not giving way to an ambulance responding to an emergency with lights and siren, forcing the ambulance to stop. Esther Lauaki

Peddling for a MND cure By Esther Lauaki A group of novice cyclists is about to embark on a “monster” 300 kilometre ride of a lifetime. Former Werribee and Collingwood footballer Darren Saunders is leading the pack of 27 on The Great ‘Never Give Up’ Ride – a three-day trip from Hoppers Crossing to Tocumwal in New South Wales in October to raise money for Motor Neuron Disease. Mr Saunders said he had always hoped he could make the interstate trek by bike. “I have a property in Hoppers Crossing and
a property in Tocumwal and two or three of us who live near the Murray got together and decided, ‘let’s do a ride,’ ” Mr Saunders said. “We will be riding with another 30-odd local and interstate, non-professional riders. “No rider is what you would call ‘experienced’ but we all have plenty of passion and motivation to ride for all those Victorian’s living with MND. “My sister Kerry Saunders is the oldest at 60 and she’ll probably do it easier than all of us. “It’s going to be a great ride with great people, training for a great cause.” He said the cause hits close to home for many

of the participants. “My mother-in-law was diagnosed with MND three years ago, so I know what people go through,” Mr Saunders said. “A lot of us have been affected by MND and have somebody in our lives with it. “We couldn’t think of a better chairty and we didn’t have to look too far.” He said Werribee Districts Football Club is holding a fundraising Ladies Day on July 6 raising money towards The Great ‘Never Give Up’ Ride.

Wyndham council is trialling the use of two hydrogen-fuelled electric vehicles as part of its fleet. Environment and sustainability portfolio holder Heather Marcus said introducing the vehicles was a small but positive step towards a carbon neutral future. “The council is keen to play its part to reduce Wyndham’s carbon footprint,” Cr Marcus said. She said the initiative would propel council towards its goal to have 40 per cent of its fleet carbon neutral by 2040. “We are trialling these cars as part of our fleet deal with Toyota with refuelling occurring at the Toyota headquarters in Altona,” Cr Marcus said. The cars will last an estimated 550 kilometres on one tank of hydrogen gas. Cr Marcus said refuelling with hydrogen costs the same as a tank of unleaded petrol because the hydrogen fuel market was “underdeveloped”.

Roads, transport, top wish list By Alesha Capone Residents have asked Wyndham council to take action on roads, public transport and police numbers as part of its annual budget. Councillors attended a meeting last week to consider public submissions to the 2019-20 budget. Other matters raised included cycling infrastructure and a request from the not-for-profit Kulture Hive for the council to develop a hub for youths planning to start a creative business. Bob Fairclough from the Point Cook Action
Group (PCAG) requested capital works funding to upgrade the intersection of Sneydes and Point Cook roads. He said PCAG welcomed the $250,000 already allocated in the budget for design works at the intersection. Mr Fairclough also asked the council to address subsidence issues along Sneydes Road. “They are really bad, it’s like a roller-coaster ride and we reckon it won’t be long until there’s an accident because of that,” he said. Another member of PCAG, Senthill Sundaram, asked the council to establish
regular forums on public transport and community safety, to advocate for issues including more police in Point Cook. Another Point Cook resident, Ashok Kumar, asked the council to build a recreational and aquatic centre in the suburb, a topic which has been raised in previous years’ budget submissions. Two members of the Wyndham Warriors BMX club made a presentation for funds to upgrade the club’s driveway and carpark at its Glen Orden wetlands track. They said that in winter, the area became
“very muddy and impractical” and made it difficult for riders to access the site. A group of commuters who travel on bus route 498 asked the council to help address overcrowding on the service. Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said although some of the budget submissions related to state government decisions and funding, the council would pass the ideas on to local politicians. “Once we go through all of these submissions, councillors will discuss them, and their decisions will be revealed at the ordinary council meeting on 25 June, 2019,” she said.
Paws for a good cause Are you feline smart? The not-for-profit cat rescue group Purrs of Point Cook, which is run solely by volunteers, will host a fundraising trivia night in Laverton next month. Purrs volunteer and foster carer Jennifer Tagg said funds raised at the event would be put towards vet bills, medication, food and litter for rescued cats and kittens. Ms Tagg said teams of 10 could enter the trivia night, or the event organisers could put people into teams. She said the trivia questions would cover topics including history, geography, current events, sports, arts and – of course – cats. There will be plenty of prizes on offer throughout the night. The trivia night (for adults aged 18 and over) will be held at 6.30pm on Saturday, July 20 at the Laverton Bowls Club, 77-87 Hall Avenue, Laverton.

A lecturer in chemistry has claimed that a letter he wrote to a senior officer of Werribee Shire was leaked to a political party during the recent State election campaign. Dr. M. A Trewhella, a Werribee resident and senior lecturer in applied chemistry at Footscray Institute of Technology, told council in a subsequent letter that the leaked letter had been quoted out of context thus distorting the meaning of its content.
Tiny Justin Bates has defied all odds and proved to be a true Aussie battler. When Justin was born with chronic renal failure and diagnosed as having Potter’s Syndrome, his Hoppers Crossing parents, Paul, 29, and Kerri, 23, prepared themselves for the worst.
The Labor and Liberal parties will commit vastly different sums of money in their respective campaigns to secure the seat of Werribee in the forthcoming state election, the Banner has learned. Held by Labor MP Ms Mary Gillett by 0.8 per cent, Werribee is the most marginal ALP seat in the state.
Hundreds of motorbike riders and tourists will converge on Point Cook in October as the area’s Pink Ribbon Ride is expanded. Last year, the annual event attracted 200 riders who travelled from Ferntree Gully to Point Cook to raise money for The Cancer Council Victoria’s breast cancer appeal.

MY WYNDHAM Truganina’s Morwenna Petaia migrated to Australia from Hawaii in 2003, but moved to Samoa two years later. In 2014, she returned to Wyndham and started her own business. Ms Petaia holds a graduate certificate in marketing; is a freelance writer and researcher; and has launched a social media course for small business owners. She chats with Alesha Capone
I love that Truganina is so multicultural. Being able to interact with people of different cultures and learning about them is something that I really enjoy. Do you have a favourite place in Wyndham to get coffee or grab a meal? I love going to Jock and Mack (in Hoppers Crossing) to eat. They have amazing and friendly staff and their food is delicious. Tell me about your volunteering and community work. I was the vice president, for a few years, for the Truganina Community Group and we helped to make Truganina look better through tree planting as well as trying to bring the community together. The group needs new members so if there are any willing to volunteer, message on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Truganinacg/).
I am a Wyndham City Council Cultural Diversity Portfolio Committee member. I am the vice president for Pacific Connections and we are planning our third Pacific Connections Expo in October. Do you find there are a lot of people from Samoa, or a Samoan background, who live in the Wyndham area? Wyndham has the second highest number of Pacific people in Victoria. Many of them are of Samoan descent. The Pacific community has a lot to offer in terms of unity, culture and experience. Can you tell me a bit about your business? Measina Treasures of Samoa gives back to the Samoan community by selling products made by Samoans, promoting Samoan businesses in our blogs and offering educational programs sharing Samoan culture.

FOOD REVIEW
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir gives the thumbs up to an old favourite’s revamp The many shoulder-to-shoulder eating houses of Footscray are forever in a state of flux. Old ones close, new ones open, stayers are overhauled, new names and a lick of paint are applied to the tired – and some disappear forever. It’s a fascinating cycle, one experienced – often subliminally – by anyone who spends time there. And so it is that our fave pho joint has had a makeover. We’ve always favoured Hien Vuong Pasteur – for the high quality of its food, but also because it’s a smallish family operation that can be relied upon to always have a seat or table to spare. So in some ways we’re sad to see its old-school formica/utilitarian/white classic pho house appearance give way to something hipper. But in truth the revamp here has been done with more class than most in this neighbourhood – it’s stylish and welcoming, a central high table with stools surrounded by orthodox tabling. And it appears to be working! On both our recent visits, the place has been bustling. And the food? Well that hasn’t changed – still top-shelf pho house classics, including superb medium pho with sliced chicken and beef ($12). Like most of its kind, Hien Vuong Pasteur has a smallish range of more exotic dishes, including bo kho (beef stew, $12).
HIEN VUONG PASTEUR Address: 164 Hopkins Street, Footscray Phone: 9687 9698 This one – served with both egg and rice noodles at my request – is a bit different from others in the west, in that the beef pieces are smaller and there are no bones. But the keys, as always with this dish, are the soup/broth (very good) and the carrot. The carrot is invariably in big chunks – and hopefully holding together yet on the verge of disintegration. As is the case here!

Empress apartments will be a stunning addition to Williamstown. (Artist’s impression supplied)
Empress weighs anchor at Williamstown Empress, a stunning building with 60 apartments, is set to take shape in Waterline Place where bayside life couples with a wonderful village feel, writes Carole Levy. In the reliable hands of AVJennings as developer, Empress salutes Williamstown’s maritime history in a collection of large-scale residences designed by Elenberg Fraser, a name highly respected in the architecture game. Elenberg Fraser principal architect Caleb Smith explains how Empress’ structure was inspired by, and reflects, its site. “The sculptural form of Empress reflects the nautical heritage of Williamstown, with profiled corners inspired by the classic bow-wave of the ships slicing through the water,” he says. “The horizontal profiles of the upper storeys
give the building a lightness while reducing glare within the interior spaces.” The Empress name is also attached to history. Once a popular Williamstown theatre in the first half of the 20th century, the original Empress began as an open-air cinema in 1907. Today’s Empress, with two and three-bedroom apartments, celebrates outdoor life as well, with a fab rooftop terrace/garden with seating, barbecue, and spectacular views out to sea, the city lights and over a checkerboard of rooftops. Also, every residence has a generous terrace to step out and take in the sea breezes.
While communal life has been considered, Empress has a subtle feel of exclusivity, too. Corridor lengths are reduced so that only four apartments share the lobby on each floor. This creates the intimacy of a micro community The beautiful apartments, with a choice of light and darker colour palettes, come with top-notch Smeg appliances, and natural stone benches are an option. Perched between Nelson Place dining precinct and Point Gellibrand Coastal Heritage Park, Empress has the best of Williamstown at the door. The train station is seven minutes by foot,
and three schools and two childcare centres are around 10 minutes. Many sporting clubs are within easy reach, Melbourne CBD is about 14 kilometres away, and a ferry close by provides scenic trips across the bay to the city. The sales office and display kitchen for Empress apartments is on the corner of Nelson Place and Ann Street, Williamstown. Opens 12 noon-5pm daily. Inquiries: 13 18 78

Three discrete living areas and up to five bedrooms substantially contribute to freedom of indoor flow, and each large room is stamped with a decor elegance that conforms to the overarching style. A long, wide hallway, laid with polished floorboards, kicks off the journey through to the tri-zone living hub at the back.

treatment as all through. Across the way, a carpeted study behind double doors has a closet, plus sole access to a smaller neighbouring room that could serve as wine/valuables storage space. Farther on, other double doors usher in a nifty theatre room, where cinematic wall sconces, and carpet colour-matched with bold red wall paint, set the mood for wine and cheese … OK, popcorn and choc-top. And there’s a handily placed powder room across the hall, behind the stairs. Within the expansive family-meals area, the polished kitchen puts on an
all-white show with lashings of storage, a Caesarstone-topped island bench, walk-in pantry and all the mod-cons. The laundry, tucked behind, has lavish storage and bench space. Four fitted bedrooms (ceiling fans in all), the big main bathroom and a powder room gather around the upstairs carpeted living area. A fab fully fitted dressing room is a main bedroom highlight, while the roomy twin-basin en suite has a spa. Outdoors, the covered alfresco area matches the house for proportion, while the back lawn carves out play and project

All a-sparkle and ready for new owners to move in and relax, this modern abode, with its excellent south-side location, will hold much appeal for young families. It’s within a walk of Mackillop Catholic and Werribee Secondary colleges, Corpus Christi and Werribee primary schools and the station, while freeway access is also within easy reach. The house has the desirable colour palette of greys and white, with mid-grey roller blinds, attractive floor tiles, grey carpet, and matte floor planks in all bedrooms. Everything is light, bright and beautifully presented. The three bedrooms are at the back of the house. Each has a built-in robe and share a chic bathroom with walk-in shower, floating vanity unit and a contemporary rectangular tub. The toilet is separate. Flowing from the entry hall in an open-plan layout is the dual-zone living hub, with carpeted sitting area and tiled meals space. White cabinetry and splashback tiles contrast with charcoal stone benches in the kitchen, and a french-door pantry, a 900mm cooker and a dishwasher are on deck as well. Downlights, split-system and Rinnai HWS are included. An expanse of grey concrete, partly under shadesail, is big enough to accommodate a large family gathering, while the backyard has a storage shed in the corner. A side gate allows access to a three-car workshop/garage with three-metre roller door to allow caravan entry. 31 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 19, 2019
