2 BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL

>>

t the end of my second term with Boroondara council, I have decided not to stand again in the upcoming elections. It’s a difficult decision, but I look back with pride on what this council has achieved, particularly in Glenferrie ward. By not standing, I see it as a good opportunity to have new ideas come in to the council through new representatives.

Boroondara people are extremely well educated, articulate and have high expectations. This makes this a great community, but it does make being a councillor challenging. It is often difficult to meet the demands in the normal 20–25 hours a week the average councillor spends on their largely voluntary duties.

It also presents the best and worst of people at times — from being spat on and threatened by people unhappy with council decisions, to abusive phone calls because people dislike their neighbours or state government decisions and they expect their councillor to fix it.

However, it is incredibly rewarding to know you have made a difference to people with things that affect them in their daily lives.

In Glenferrie we have been fortunate to deliver some significant capital projects, services and improvements, and some strategic plans, which will provide certainty well into the future.

Since announcing I would not be re-standing I have been asked, out of all the things that have been achieved, what has been the greatest thing in my view. My response has shocked a few people.

A few years ago, a woman rang me one afternoon. This lady was upset and quite desperate. She was

in a wheelchair, with a sick mother whom she had been unable to leave alone for three weeks. She was exhausted, had run out of food, could not leave the house and had no idea what to do next. She had received the council newsletter and as she lived in Glenferrie, called me for help. In less than two hours, the dedicated and caring council staff had arranged care for her mother, had taken her out for a walk in the park and organised for shopping to be done while the house was tidied.

This to me was the greatest thing I have been involved with as a councillor. Local government is

about caring enough to look after the things that matter to people around you, and not about the politics of who is right or wrong.

I have been appointed to Regional Development Australia’s Melbourne East committee. This is a joint initiative to build alignment between federal, state and local government, partnerships with community and business, and responses to economic, environmental and social issues. I’ll continue to work with the community to make our area one of the greatest places to live, work and study.

PROFILE PHIL MEGGS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HAWTHORN: The vibrant lifestyle close to shops, schools, parks, transport and all the facilities you could ever need.

WHAT I’D CHANGE: Reduce the night-time venue-related problems, make shopping strips more pedestrian- and bikefriendly, and ensure our residential neighbourhood characters are maintained.

Street makeover alarms traders

Warning on visa scam

BY ALISON BARCLAY

POLICE have warned members of international communities in Melbourne to beware of passport and visa scams.

A number of incidents have been reported to investigators, with one scam targeting Indian nationals living in Australia.

Detective Senior Constable Adrian Smith, from Melbourne Crime Investigation Unit, said the people received calls claiming to be from the Australian Immigration Department.

“The caller may have information about the individual but this information has been obtained illegally,’’ he said.

“Typically, the caller may know your passport number, as well as your telephone number and your name.”

The caller claims there is a serious problem with the person’s passport or visa and they need to pay a fee to the Indian High Commission to fix it. The caller is described as persistent, and demands that a payment be made through Western Union or action may be taken, including deportation.

Police urge anyone receiving such calls to contact the Australian Immigration Department to establish their immigration status.

“Do not give the caller or the sender of an email any personal information and do not confirm that any information they have is correct,’’ Detective Smith said.

“Do not make any payments and advise the caller you are aware of the fraudulent calls and you will report the matter to police.’’

TERESA MURPHY

A BUSY Hawthorn street is to be landscaped as a pedestrian mall in what traders describe as acquisition by stealth by Swinburne University.

Wakefield Street, which runs off Glenferrie Road through the Swinburne campus, will be narrowed to one lane for delivery and emergency vehicles, repaved and lined with trees and bollards. The western end, which gives access to a public car park, will remain open.

The university said works would begin next month. ‘‘The intention is to diminish the visual impact of Wakefield Street and unify the north and south sides of the campus,’’ Swinburne’s facilities services group said.

But the Glenferrie Traders Association said there was no community consultation before Swinburne and Boroondara council agreed to the plan. ‘‘It is of great concern to the traders, mainly because it is acquisition by stealth,’’ GTA president Mark Henderson said.

‘‘Our biggest concern is the impact on traffic. When you come to that intersection, a lot of drivers use Wakefield Street as a way of escaping Glenferrie Road.’’

Glenferrie ward councillor Phil Meggs said the street would become ‘‘a shared zone’’ friendlier to walkers and cyclists. ‘‘Our intention is to ensure the traffic does not drive through the middle of the area but continues around it,’’ he said. ‘‘The discussion about providing shared access is more about safety concerns than anything else.’’

He said the council would not fund the landscaping project.

Swinburne assumed control of John Street, which also runs through the campus, under a lease arrangement in the 1990s. Asked if the Wakefield arrangement would effectively privatise a public street, Cr Meggs said: ‘‘No. There is no lease arrangement. The road still remains in council control and it is still a road. The discontinuation of a road requires a public process.

There is no decision to discontinue the road.’’

River rules kick in for Boroondara SUPPLIED

BY TERESA MURPHY teresa.murphy@fairfaxmedia.com.au

MANDATORY planning laws now apply along the Yarra River in Boroondara.

The new rules cap building heights to nine metres (two to three storeys) and restrict the scale of any new developments. They also require enough river setback to allow public space and access.

The controls affect development applications that have already been submitted but still undergoing the planning process, such as the controversial Coppin Grove townhouses in Hawthorn, currently before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (see side bar).

Boroondara city planning director John Luppino said the council welcomed the state government’s planning laws decision. ‘‘Tighter controls will provide greater certainty for both developers and the community,’’ he said.

Last week, Planning Minister Mat-

INSPECTION: VCAT members look over 12 Coppin Grove thew Guy announced major reforms to protect the Yarra and Maribyrnong river corridors from encroaching development, effective from October 15.

The new controls apply immedi-

ately in Boroondara because the municipality has already completed high-level of strategic work such as environmental overlays.

Ian Penrose, co-founder of the community group Yarra River-

keeper Association, welcomed the tougher laws. ‘‘But it’s only step towards protecting the river and we need to see the details,’’ he said.

The tides of change: Feature pp12-13

New laws hit plans THE new planning laws for Yarra River development in Boroondara could affect three projects before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

The tougher laws, which apply in Boroondara immediately, have forced the postponement of a case in which Hawthorn property owner Peter O’Brien is seeking to build three four-storey dwellings at 12 Coppin Grove.

Boroondara council, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and Coppin Grove residents oppose the proposal.

Boroondara city planning director John Luppino said two other applications might be affected — 7A Redmond Street in Kew and 2 Muir Street, Hawthorn.

The council also opposed these developments.

Council audit proves that money does grow on trees in Boroondara

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

THE adage ‘‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’’ can go and jump off its twig.

Auditors have assessed the value of Boroondara’s public trees at a collective $12.6 million.

That’s the amount it would cost to

replace the botanical beauties, some of which are classified by the National Trust.

The figure, presented in the council’s annual report released this month, covers trees in streets and parks controlled by the council. The council lists whole streets, including Victoria Avenue, Canterbury, in its

OCTOBER 24, 2012

register of significant trees, but refuses to name Boroondara’s most valuable tree.

The National Trust of Victoria’s senior advocate for environmental heritage, Dr Sue Hughes, said a software program, iTree, was widely used to tally arboreal worth. ‘‘You feed in data such as height,

measurements, age, condition and location,’’ Dr Hughes said. ‘‘It shows trees aren’t just good to look at; they actually have an economic value to the community,’’ she said. ‘‘Because of the shade they produce, they make footpaths last longer.’’

The Trust lists four public Boroondara trees as having state signific-

ance. They are a sprawling tea-tree in Beckett Park, Balwyn; two celtis australis trees grown together in Church Street, Hawthorn; and the apple myrtle outside Ashburton library. Balwyn’s Maranoa Gardens are also of state significance. A free app, Trust Trees, is available from Apple App Store.

Internet sales add up to evolving future for shopping strips THE shopping strip of the future is likely to look very different from today as some retailers do more of their business in outer-suburban warehouses and other kinds of businesses move in to cater to local needs, according to a Melbourne economist.

National Australia Bank senior economist David De Garis (pictured) says Australia’s online retail

sales are growing 20 per cent a year, which could make inner-city residents ‘‘feel uncomfortable’’ as their high streets undergo a profound change. ‘‘It’s a big change – people are not only buying less but are changing the way they buy,’’ Mr De Garis told the North Balwyn Rotary Club’s business breakfast last week. ‘‘Our research has found that

three-quarters of internet sales are from domestic sites. Instead of coming from a shop in Balwyn it might come out of a warehouse in Springvale.’’

The upside was the rapid growth in delivery services, including local parcel pick-ups, he said. ‘‘Postal delivery is very active – so is anything to do with IT, such as businesses designing websites,

though they tend to be the less visible parts of shopping strips,’’ he said. ‘‘People may be driving along and looking at ‘for lease’ signs. ‘‘But if you drive down the Monash Freeway and talk to people in industrial property, they say more space than ever is being leased for warehouses.’’

Election office rocked by prank

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

WILLOW WELCOMES CASH Guide Dogs Victoria has scored $10,000 thanks to the Commonwealth Bank’s 2012 community grants program.

The bank’s Kew branch manager Sam Vassilakopoulos handed over the welcome cheque to Rachel Morgan, team leader of children’s mobility services, at Guide Dogs Victoria headquarters in Kew earlier this month. Guide Dogs ‘‘ambassador’’ Willow was an essential, if nonchalant, part of the proceedings.

AN envelope full of mysterious pebbles forced the evacuation of Boroondara’s election office last week while police investigated.

The pebbles were found to be harmless and staff were allowed to return to their Camberwell Road digs after two hours, Victorian Electoral Commission spokeswoman Sue Lang said. ‘‘The envelope was received at the election office, and the occupational health and safety office for Boroondara council contacted the police,’’ Ms Lang said. ‘‘Happily, it proved to be nothing but some pebbles and some constructive advice for council about the coming election.’’

Police have also received reports about theft of election posters and letterbox f lyers as campaigning

becomes intense for Boroondara’s 10 council seats.

Bellevue ward contender Simon Phipps reported two incidents last week in which eight of his posters were cut from a fence in Kilby Road, Kew East. Posters belonging to Studley ward councillor Phillip Healey were also taken. ‘‘It was done fairly systematically by a malevolent person,’’ Mr Phipps said. ‘‘I don’t know whether it was somebody connected to another candidate or somebody from the lunatic fringe, but it is a component of this election that is not very nice.’’

The eight posters were worth about $140.

Cr Healey said he had not reported the theft of his posters. He said that it was unlikely a rival candidate was responsible.

Boroondara’s 120,000 voters are required to return their completed ballot paper by October 26.

BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL 5

LOCAL BEAT

STREET LEVEL REPORT CRIME call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 HAWTHORN, KEW HAWTHORN Theft from motor vehicles is still a big headache for local police. Several vehicles were broken into, in Glenferrie and Glenroy roads and George and Mason streets, on the weekend of October 13 and 14. Stolen items included iPads and iPhones, cash, tools and a laptop computer.

Offenders were disturbed committing burglaries while the residents were home in separate incidents in Hawthorn and Kew. In Kew, the resident was in the front garden when the offender entered an unlocked back door and took her purse.

BOROONDARA AND MONASH Police have arrested a 44-year-old Ferntree Gully man, alleging numerous burglaries in Boroondara and Monash. He has been remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

CAMBERWELL Tradies’ utes are still being targeted, with tools stolen from three vehicles in the Camberwell area last week.

I like a quick lunch, but love a quality one.

A fresh meal awaits at Koji Don Sushi, Nando’s, Subway, Pirates of the Sea, or Things of Thai.

Police watch on muck-up week

Sticky matter thrown on train

BY TERESA MURPHY

POLICE have released a CCTV image of two men they want to interview over an incident involving a Camberwell woman.

A sticky substance was thrown at the 21-year-old on the Alamein line at 1.15pm on Thursday, August 30, between Burwood and Ashburton.

Investigators believe the alleged offenders taunted the woman after she left the train at Ashburton. Both are described as Caucasian, 18–25, and of medium build. One has short dark hair and was wearing a black jacket, grey hoodie and light trousers, and carrying a light-grey backpack. The other was wearing a white cap, blue hoodie, black sleeveless parka, grey pants and red shoes.

BOROONDARA police are out in force this week keeping tabs on students celebrating muck-up week.

Uniform and plain-clothes police are patrolling day and night – on bikes and in cars – all secondary school areas, parks and entertainment precincts.

A team is monitoring social media including Twitter and Facebook for signs of brewing trouble.

Sergeant Glenn Grandy, who is coordinating the extra patrols, said the aim was to prevent and respond to reports of behaviour likely to injure people or damage property.

He appealed to parents to be vigilant. ‘‘There’s nothing like getting a phonecall at 3am saying your kid’s been arrested,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve already had reports of eggs being thrown from cars. We need to impress upon the kids that this can be extremely dangerous.’’

VOX POP WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE KEY LOCAL ISSUES IN THIS MONTH’S COUNCIL ELECTION? SIMEON SPARKS, 44, Camberwell If we could improve the parking in the Camberwell shopping precinct, it would encourage people to shop on the Burke Road strip.

CATHY SNEDDEN, 19, Balwyn I think politicians should review the safety of Boroondara, and look at how safe it is at night, especially for young women who are catching public transport. Perhaps there needs to be more community awareness.

BRYCE CATLIN, 71, Hawthorn I think roads and facilites need to be looked at. There also needs to be more public toilets.

Council pays 30 more than $127,000 each

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

BOROONDARA council paid 30 senior staff more than $127,000 each in 2011-12.

At the top of the money tree was former chief executive Catherine Dale, the lone star in the $430,000 to $439,999 remuneration bracket.

The figure includes the $233,000 Dr Dale took in accrued leave entitle-

ments when she left her post in February after eight years.

Two officers, including new chief executive Philip Storer, are in the $250,000 to $259,999 range, and another is paid more than $180,000, making them the current three top earners among 1075 council staff.

The salaries are among many fascinating figures revealed in the council’s 243-page annual report, released this month.

Council’s total revenue for 2011-12 was $175.79 million, 3.3 per cent higher than expected, though less than if it had not had to write off $1.03 million in bad debts – mostly unpaid fines.

Most revenue – nearly $127.7 million – came from rates and charges on 71,611 properties. Some of those houses the scene of joyful arrivals, with 1503 babies born to Boroondara families in 2011-12.

Staff looked after $2.42 billion in assets, including 105 playgrounds, 1268 kilometres of footpaths, 35,000 stormwater pits and 683 kilometres of drains.

Major projects continue apace, with $27.34 million invested in 2011-12; projects include the revamped Camberwell Library and preliminary work on the new Hawthorn Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

Boroondarans made 2.64 million

visits to council gyms and pools and borrowed 2.58 million items from libraries, the book collections of which were valued at $5.446 million. Boroondara’s median household income is $1893 a week – $560 a week more than the Melbourne median.

STEVE LIGHTFOOT

Parking on voters’ minds PARKING in Boroondara has emerged as a key council election issue among voters. As our vox pops on these pages reveal, residents, shoppers and visitors are frustrated by the decrease in parking available at the city’s popular shopping streets, especially in Camberwell. and readers have told us that free parking at a local hospital is now no longer available.

St George’s Hospital in Cotham Road, Kew now charges for its lim-

ited parking spaces, prompting visitors to park in residential streets, where parking restrictions apply.

Boroondara council has asked hospital management to waive the fees, but is still awaiting a reply.

While parking is the stand-out issue for voters, overdevelopment is a key concern for many candidates.

Postal voting closes at 6pm on Friday, October 26. Results should be known on Sunday. For election news, visit melbourneweekly.com.au

SHORT SUPPLY: Parking is a problem throughout Boroondara

■ FIRE SERVICES ‘COSTLY’ The state government’s new fire brigade levy could cost Boroondara council up to $300,000 to collect. The government announced last month it would fund fire services via an impost on rates notices – to be administered by councils at their own cost. ‘‘We will have to set up a collection system, and early estimates suggest some $200,000 to $300,000 additional expense,’’ mayor Heinz Kreutz told RL.

MADDY HAINES, 18, Burwood East I think young people need to be more encouraged to vote. I wasn’t even aware there was an election coming up.

■ FIGHT AGAINST FLATS A proposed 12-storey block of student flats next to Glenferrie station is the subject of a VCAT hearing this week. Developer Careden Pty Ltd is appealing against Boroondara council’s refusal of the tower, which would place 125 flats above the Railway Arcade’s 1922 shop terrace.

Council prepares for Orrong fight

BY EDDIE MORTON emorton@fairfaxmedia.com.au

STONNINGTON council is preparing for a long and costly court battle after the Supreme Court granted council leave of appeal to challenge the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ’s decision to allow the 590 Orrong Road Lend Lease development of more than 600 dwellings, including four 12-storey towers.

While the exact cost of making their case in court remains a tightly kept secret, Stonnington chief executive Warren Roberts said the cost would be no different to that cur-

rently spent representing the community at VCAT on a range of development issues.

Stonnington council fronted VCAT 51 times in the past quarter alone, with just three losses to report.

“The cost of the appeal to the Supreme Court will depend on the stages council needs to go through,’’ he said. ‘‘Council is right at the beginning of the process.”

He was adamant that the cost of the court action would be outweighed by the benefit to the community.

The court battle will set preced-

ent for future cases in which there are many objectors to planning applications.

VCAT’s current policy is to take into account only the key points arising from the objections, but not the total number.

According to VCAT’s July decision: ‘‘The number of objections to the proposed development was an irrelevant consideration.’’

During an interview on ABC 774, Planning Minister Matthew Guy said he would support any discussion with the civil tribunal to reform its policy on objectors.

Orrong Group founder Margot

Carroll said: “It may just be the beginning, but it is a victory nonetheless. ‘‘We commend the council on their commitment and their fight.’’

Mr Roberts said the council was seeking an appropriate planning outcome for the site, with due regard to widespread community input. He said council was glad that the matter could now be fully heard by the court.

“Council’s position on appealing the VCAT decision is based on the view that there is an error of law,” he said. A trial date has been set for April 16 and 17 next year.

FARM WORK: Two-year-old Lucio and his brother Finn, 6, from Darwin, at the children’s farm

Europe hails our city farm COLLINGWOOD Children’s Farm has gained world recognition, becoming the first in the southern hemisphere to become an associate member of the European Federation of City Farms.

Collingwood Children’s Farm manager Alex Walker said the farm was invited to the federation’s recent conference in Germany, a first for a city farm outside Europe. The federation promotes community involvement in farming and represents more than 500 city farms in Europe.

“This is a truly significant recognition of the important social programs we provide for the benefit of the local and wider community,” Mr Walker said.

Next year the children’s farm, Australia’s oldest, will celebrate 175 years of farming on the Abbotsford site.

BOWL UP, BOWL UP There was no name-calling, heated arguments or Dorothy Dixers at state Parliament on Thursday. Instead,just plenty of good-natured competition as Mitcham Bowling Club took out the inaugural Parliamentary Bowls Challenge. The parliamentary greens are rarely opened to the public, and Mitcham Bowling Club president Trevor Wing-Quay said the 16 members of his club were thrilled to be involved.

OCTOBER 24, 2012

BAYSIDE’S local government election has been marred by dirty campaigning, some candidates say.

Northern ward candidate Marcus Bastiaan told RL he had received anonymous, abusive phone calls telling him to withdraw from the election.

Candidates have called on police to settle disputes, campaign signs and posters have allegedly been torn down, and there have been reports of dummy candidates outnumbering legitimate ones in one ward, directing preferences to their political allies.

Central ward Greens candidate Michaela Newell said she was outraged when incumbent Felicity Frederico began campaigning in front of her booked stall in Hampton Street, Hampton, on October 13.

“I had to call the police to remove her from standing in the middle of our street stall handing out her own flyers,” Ms Newell said. “I had a permit for the site and she had no right to be there.

I asked her to move but she wouldn’t.”

Cr Frederico said under local laws, Ms Newell’s permit did not stop other people giving out leaflets.

Cr Frederico said she moved, “in the interest of keeping the peace”, further down the street at the request of the police.

No charges or fines were issued.

The dispute has been reported to the Victorian Electoral Commission.

In a separate matter, Ms Newell said about 50 of her 60 campaign posters had been torn down.

Northern ward incumbent Alex del Porto said that in his 15 years on the council, he had not come across such a “dirty campaign”. “It’s descended to a very personal level,” Cr del Porto said.

The Local Government Act sets out clear rules for conduct during an election campaign.

Interfering with others’ political rights during an election can lead to a fine of up to $16,900 or one year’s imprisonment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ HEAVY-HANDED I recently visited Balwyn Library to read back copies of local newspapers, including the Boroondara Review Local.

The library normally holds copies of these papers, but I was refused them on the grounds that maintaining public availability during the council election period might affect the result of the election.

Well indeed it might. Having available papers that report on all candidates just might assist in counterbalancing the advantage enjoyed by incumbent councillors who have become well known through official publications, and by better-resourced candidates who have made themselves conspicuous in a short time.

This is a shameful intervention by the powers that be at Boroondara City Council to gag democratic process, something that would not be contemplated at federal and state elections.

■ SPITTING THE DUMMY Are Solway Ward voters being subjected to dummy candidates? For example, Wilke, Lockwood and Stoltz appeared out of the blue with the election material. They all preference Thompson second, and they and Thompson share first four preferences as a group and put Chow last. Williams appeared out of the blue, too, but is providing an equivalent service for Chow. No contact details are available for any of the four newcomers.

Candidates suspected of playing deceptive games with voters will never earn their support.

(Dr) Peter Warburton / via email ■ POLICIES BEFORE PARTIES Lighter Footprints urges policies that face up to issues confronting local people into the future, when the era of fossil fuel is spent and intelligent approaches to suburban livability will be required. That is far more important than whether candidates are undeclared members of any political party.

Mary Drost’s claims that some unnamed candidates are members of political parties she opposes are trifling distractions from the future direction of Boroondara (‘‘Election zone’’, RL, October 10).

Lighter Footprints will support good environmental policy; we will not bind ourselves to any party. OK, Mary?

■ SPOTTING THE DUMMY I find it strange that of the four people standing in Gardiner ward, only one lives in the ward, namely councillor Coral Ross, the incumbent. She is being opposed by a Mr Wolf, and published voting preferences indicate Mr Wolf has engaged two helpers (some might call them dummies). Both preference him, and all three put Cr Ross last. Why are these people not running in the wards in which they live? It would be interesting to know their politicial affiliations.

BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL 11

The tides of change Will new planning laws protect Boroondara’s riverfront from overdevelopment, ask EDDIE MORTON and TERESA MURPHY

I

t provides 70 per cent of Melbourne’s piped water and irrigates one of Australia’s most renowned wine regions. But according to river advocates, the Yarra River is under threat from unsightly developments.

Kew resident Catherine Santo, who founded the Yarra River Action Alliance in 2010, blames lack of environmental planning controls along the river for inappropriate development in Boroondara, Stonnington and other municipalities, which she says will set a precedent for further eyesores. ‘‘People have cottoned on to the value of the river and the value of

12 BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL

>>

their riverside properties,’’ Santo says. ‘‘Some of the old lots of land have not changed hands since they were divided as long ago as the 1940s. It is a feeding frenzy for developers.’’

But she has newfound hope, following the state government’s decision to restrict development along the Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers.The new laws, gazetted last Monday (October 15), became effective immediately in Boroondara.

The repercussions were immediate, too.That same day, a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearing into a proposed river development of four-storey townhouses on Coppin Grove,

OCTOBER 24, 2012

Hawthorn was postponed so senior member Laurie Hewet could seek state government advice. ‘’I think it is tremendous that the government has recogised the damage being done to the Yarra corridor by inappropriate development and has acted to address the problem,’’ Santo says.

She says mandarory controls are a significant first step.“The challenge now is to ensure that the right mandatory controls, in terms of height, bulk, scale, setback and visual impact, are put in place by all councils that are custodians of the river. And importantly that we have consistency at last, in terms of controls along the entire length of

this precious asset. We still need stronger protection in the form of legislation. Professor Michael Buxton from RMIT has said a Yarra River Protection Act is needed, and we strongly support that approach.’’

Ian Penrose, co-founder of the Yarra Riverkeeper Association, is also cautiously optimistic about the new laws, which include capping the height limit of new developments or extensions to nine metres (two to three storeys).

These will be introduced to Stonnington and other riverside municipalities in coming months.

Penrose says Boroondara has remained largely unscathed by overdevelopment along its river

bank so far. ‘‘The new laws are a good step forward to ensure overdevelopment doesn’t happen.

Our thinking is to keep the river bank free of buildings entirely and to have one body deciding on planning matters affecting the entire Yarra River corridor,’’ he says.

Penrose says one of the worst examples of overdevelopment along the riverbank is going up opposite Hawthorn and Kew, in Abbotsford.‘‘The two-tower, 11-storey, 586-apartment Eden/ Haven development under construction beside Victoria Bridge is not an isolated case,’’ he says. ‘‘On this north bank there are countless other huge commercial

and apartment developments; and sites on the opposite banks, in Toorak especially, are being covered with new multi-storey mansions.

Their excessive height and bulk, and tiny setbacks from the river ignore the planning guidelines.’’

Penrose is the Yarra’s first ‘‘riverkeeper’’, a part-time paid position that he adores. Each week he patrols the river from Collingwood to the river mouth at Newport in the Yarra Riverkeeper Association’s punt.

He and a handful of likeminded Melburnians founded the association in 2004, with the aim to safeguard the river.The group has 200 members on its books and is part of an international network, the Waterkeeper Alliance, which has 200 member groups. ‘‘We’ve kicked a few goals in the past eight years and we’ll keep on fighting to protect this amazing waterway,’’ Penrose says.

“Why wouldn’t we fight to protect it so that we can enjoy it, use it and be proud of it?’’

Ian Penrose believes saving the river is a matter of protecting social health as well as the health of its natural inhabitants.

“I do not have anything against people building houses, or developers developing. I do, however, have a problem when the banks of Melbourne’s most ancient water source are ruined to make way for unnecessary and unsightly structures,” he says.

Maintaining a connection to nature in the city is one of the most important elements of human mental health, says Penrose. That’s why the Yarra Riverkeeper Association is calling on local governments to discourage developments that rob people of that increasingly rare slice of greenery.

“People do not make the connection between their state of mind and the environment around them. What they do not realise is that having natural landscapes around you improves your mental health.”

Today, Penrose has taken us out on the Yarra Riverkeeper’s boat to show us a number of Boroondara properties, which the group says have compromised the river’s natural landscape.

On the way, it becomes clear how alive with natural wildlife the river really is. Families of ducks patrol riverbanks and birds such as cormorants dive in, chasing small fish below the water’s surface.

“It’s bloody beautiful on the river and very few Melburnians have experienced it,’’ Penrose says. ‘‘However, stormwater pollution, human waste and litter continue to destroy the water quality and many breeds of river wildlife are facing the endangered species list.”

Suddenly, as if someone has changed the backdrop on a movie set, the landscape transforms into lavish, contemporary architecture overshadowing the natural treeline and leaving little evidence of the original riverbank below. It’s a timely insight into how the Yarra could look in the future if development continues unchecked along the river.

BEST LAID PLANS ANNA WALKER’s latest children’s book encourages us all to slow down

W

ith three young children, Hawthorn East illustrator Anna Walker knows all too well the frenetic pace of modern family life. From netball practice, orchestra and swimming to afterschool care and birthday parties, there’s always somewhere the kids need to be and precious few minutes for family time. Maybe it’s time we all just slowed down.

It’s a concept that Walker (left) explores in her latest picture book with author Jane Godwin, Today We Have No Plans. It’s the pair’s third collaboration, intended as a companion to their 2009 book All Through the Year.

Today Walker is speaking from the light and airy Richmond studio she shares with a graphic designer and two photographers. Her whimsical artistic style is evident in her surroundings, from the owl tea cosy on the coffee table to hand-knitted toys perched on the

Puppy carers needed!

low bookcase filled with children’s storybooks.

She says Godwin has become a great friend and the pair simply “clicked”.These days the duo discuss their ideas and present book proposals together, rather than the traditional way of an author submitting a manuscript and then being assigned an illustrator.

“There is something very honest about her writing; it touches your heart in some way,” Walker says.

Growing up in the artistic community of Eltham, Walker painted and drew a lot as a child.

After high school she studied graphic design and worked in commercial illustration but always wanted to get into picture books.

“I am just thrilled to be part of the industry now. I love what I do,” she says.“I have realised that with each book you do, you want to do a better book next time. Just getting

into children’s books has been the beginning of the journey.”

Flicking through her latest book, Walker smiles as she recognises specific elements of her home life with her husband and three children – Olive, 11, Joseph, 9 and Sam, 7 – that appear in her books.

There’s little doubt this book is a personal project.

Although she finds the process stressful,Walker also writes some books herself, including her most recent book Peggy, based on the familiy’s pet chicken.“I find the writing difficult but I do it because I feel I have a story to tell and imagery that I’d really like to explore.”

Today We Have No Plans will be launched at Readings, 701 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn on October 28, from 2pm-4pm.

O

ver forty local acts are coming together on Saturday for the third annual Surrey Hills Music Festival.

The not-for-profit event features everything from blues, to rock, to a performance by the Melbourne Accordion Ochestra. Triple J unearthed artists Stereoking and When We Were Small will also take the stage alongside acts such as the high energy Havana Connection (pictured above right) and blues and slide guitar muso Dave Diprose (right).

Sponsored by the City of Boroondara, Bendigo Bank and local printer Newlitho, the festival runs with help from volunteers

and the support of the Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre.This year is the first without founder Ann-Maree Eckersley, but new coordinator Jenny Bevis assures us that the festival has taken on a life of its own.

“We wanted to keep it living and breathing!” she says.

Unprecedented enthusiasm from local independent artists means that this year’s offering is more eclectic than ever.

“The interest has been overwhelming,” says Bevis.“We had enough performers for two

festivals, but unfortunately we didn’t have enough time. We had to turn people down!”

Ms Bevis attributes the festival’s continued success to Surrey Hills’ thriving music community.

“Surrey Hills has always had some kind of festival – it has a history of a lot of music.There’s a rock school in Boroondara, and a lot of the high schools specialise in music too.”

As the only music festival in Boroondara, Ms Bevis hopes to draw up to 2000 fans.“No more,”

she jokes.“It will exceed our capacity!”

Whilst all daytime performances and workshops are free, there are two ticketed events in the evening.

On the Bendigo Bank stage, Jugularity will stand up alongside Havana Connection for a night of musical comedy and Cuban dance.

Inside the centre, Ant Clyde and Raw Sylke will provide musical accompaniment to a three-course meal.

These Glenferrie Road premises have housed a cake shop for over 30 years but when Guillaume Dequidt arrived from the south of France seven years ago he took over and turned it into something exquisite. Named after a cake supposedly baked for Brigitte Bardot in St Tropez in the 1970s, La Tropezinne soon welcomed Angela Harris as head pastry chef. Years later, Harris is now a co-owner, and Dequidt is back in the head chef’s seat.

Macarons are everywhere these days but few do them as well as this charming bakery. It’s easy to miss but hard to forget.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS OPEN GARDENS AUSTRALIA 25TH ANNIVERSARY Rarely does such a well-established private garden open to the public. But to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Open Gardens Australia, the beautiful Arcadia garden in Hawthorn is showing off the fruits of a landscaping overhaul in 1888. Over the past 100 years, successive owners have maintained and added to this drought-tolerant garden built to compliment the Victorian house.

It features lime, fig, quince, olives and robinia trees, and much more.

Arcadia, 38 Grove Road, Hawthorn, November 3-4, 10am-4.30pm. Details: call 9682 8227.

The property features a stunning range of camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons and viburnums. There are also soaring palms, Norfolk Island pine, a summerhouse and deck with sunken pond. Hawthorn East’s McKendry Garden is accessed through an arched gate that leads into the pretty front garden of a Victorian house. Box hedging frames hydrangeas, roses and perennials, while out the back a lap pool is surrounded by jasmine-covered walls, olive trees and espaliered lemons.

Perrott, who plays his club water polo with Melbourne Collegians, has had a staple of state and national representative teams throughout his career, playing for Victoria or Australia every year since he was 12.

Such prolonged exposure to quality players has Perrott full of confidence going into the youth championships, where the Australians will face Croatia, New Zealand, South Africa and Colombia in the group stages. ‘‘I reckon we can go all the way,’’ he says. ‘‘The Croatians will be tough but I don’t think the other three will be

too hard so, hopefully, we get some wins over them. But I think the first aim is to make top eight and from there, hopefully, it’s all up.’’

Perrott began playing when he was 10, inspired by his uncle, Mark Grooby, who represented Australia 75 times in the sport.

While still very early in his water polo career, Perrott has already set his sights on emulating his uncle and representing Australia more in the future. ‘‘I’d really like to go to the next Olympics,’’ he says.

And with the youngest players in the senior Australian men’s squad at least 21, Perrott has all the time he needs time to develop the game to realise his dream. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Rivalry waits an extra week

BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au BALWYN and Kew have had to wait one more week to renew their longawaited Sub-District cricket rivalry.

Their first match against each in two years was due to have been played on Saturday, but the VSDCA decided instead to play the washed-out Round 1 fixture as a one-dayer, which both teams lost.

Kew made 7/156 against Plenty Valley, which chased down the target for the loss of just four wickets.

In a tighter game, Balwyn were bowled out for 187, which Coburg passed with just one wicket standing.

The Round 2 meeting between the local rivals will now be played on Saturday as a one-dayer, with Kew hosting Balwyn at Victoria Park. The match starts at 12.30pm.

Both Kew and Balwyn played finals last year – Kew lost to Melton in the grand final – and anticipation is high after last season’s meeting was also rained off.

‘‘We were looking forward to the big clash last year and, unfortunately didn’t get a chance,’’ Kew captain Francis Gill said. ‘‘It’s something we look forward to every year ... it’s a pretty big event.’’

Balwyn captain coach Ben Hanley said with both clubs very strong they would have to be on their game to come out on top. ‘‘If both teams play to their ability it should be a pretty close game,’’ he said.

It will be a new-look Kew side, with four top-order batsmen retiring or overseas this season.

Gill said some of the club’s young batsmen would be asked to fill the void and predicted another big year from Daniel Gledhill, who made the Sub-District team of the year last season.

For Balwyn, Hanley said he was looking for continued improvement from Fraser Lane with the ball and was expecting strong form from his top-order batsmen.

AND THEY’RE OFF: Millie (left) and Poppy take on the field at Camberwell Malvern Little Aths

Little Aths season is up and running CAMBERWELL Malvern Little Athletics Club kicked off the new season with more than 500 kids descending on Kooyong Park.

The club, which caters for children from 5-15, has seen a surge in members in recent years,

with the biggest growth in under-7 and under-8 boys.

The club recently sent a number of athletes to national and state titles, with several returning with medals, and is now in training for regional relays on October 28.

As well as the regular Saturday morning meetings, the club has training sessions on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Registration for 2012-13 is still open and can be done online at cmlac.com.au.

Hawks lose again and again

BRIEFS

Will makes Magpies fly

BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au TEENAGE paceman Will Walker produced a stunning early spell to bowl Camberwell to an easy win over Essendon in Saturday’s Premier Cricket action.

With the Magpies defending 189 from their 50 overs, Walker, 19, took wickets with the first two balls of Essendon’s innings.

He sent James Dickinson and Shane McNamara back to the sheds LBW, the latter shouldering arms to a searing inswinger.

And he narrowly missed a hattrick as Ben Fletcher ‘‘french-cut’’ the ball centimetres from the stumps to pick up a single.

Walker continued his demolition job, finishing with 5/27 as Essendon was bowled out for 93 to give Camberwell victory by 96 runs.

Magpies coach Shannon Young didn’t hold back in his praise for the left-arm quick.

“We think we’ve got a supertalented kid with a great work ethic.

We think he’s the full package,” Young said.

Walker’s early blitz meant Essendon struggled to build momentum and at 4/15 all hope of a win had gone. Despite some resistance from Solomon Mire (23) and Rory Collins (32) the innings lasted just 28.2 overs.

Earlier, Camberwell won the toss and batted but were soon on the back foot with Alex Stanley falling cheaply for the second consecutive week.

Brendan Drew (9) and Simon Hill (14) both followed quickly to have Camberwell struggling at 3/35, before Tom Rickarby (59) and James

MARCO DE LUCA

FOUR games, four losses. That’s Hawthorn-Monash Uni’s Premier Cricket record this season after two defeats at the weekend.

A half century by Grant Westgarth wasn’t enough to stop the Hawks slumping to a third loss when they met Carlton on Saturday.

And that became four when Melbourne beat the Hawks by 131 runs on Sunday.

The Hawks consistently took wickets as Carlton batted first at Princes Park on Saturday but could not keep the runs in check as the home side posted 9/180 from the 50 overs.

Hawthorn made just 155 in reply.

Daniel O’Shea was the pick of the bowlers for Carlton with 2/16 from his 10 overs, while Robert Keogh chipped in with 2/44.

Nathan Pilon top-scored for the hosts with 39.

A disappointing 20 extras, 11 of those wides, came back to bite the Hawks.

Locky Inglis and Liam Tonkin both fell cheaply when the Hawks batted and at 2/16 they were in immediate trouble.

Only Westgarth (54), Jake Marnie (31), Vinay Tripathi (18) and O’Shea (17) reached double figures.

Sunday’s performance was no better for the Hawks. After Melbourne rattled up 8/236, Hawthorn made 105 in reply, Liam Tonkin and Robert Keogh both made 28.

MATCH REPORT

■ VETERANS CALLED UP Camberwell Hockey Club’s Narelle Richardson (over 40s) and Jo Hale (over 50s) have been selected to play in the Australian Women’s Masters sides to compete in the Trans Tasman Challenge in May next year.

Three Tests against New Zealand will be played in Auckland.

■ WINNERS AGAIN Melbourne continued the perfect start to the pennant bowls season with a huge home win over Lalor. Melbourne won every rink to finish ahead 18-82 to 0-65.

TOP SHOT: Camberwell’s Tom Rickarby drives through the covers in his innings of 59, the highest of the match.

Bett (36) put together a stand of 77.

Both struggled a little early in their innings against Victorian quick Clint McKay, before settling in. While happy with the win, Young said his team still had plenty to work on.

“Our batting has yet to click,” he said. ‘‘But our bowling and fielding have been standouts. That’s where

we’ve really strangled teams. It’s very pleasing.”

Camberwell completed a successful weekend by beating Prahran by 28 runs on Sunday.

The Magpies made 185, Stanley top-scoring with 75, then bowled out Prahran for 157.

Another loss as more pitching woes plague Demons MELBOURNE’S pitching problems continued as it lost its third straight match of the women’s baseball season on Saturday.

Playing an experienced Werribee side away from home was always going to be tough for the young Demons, and another sluggish start saw them slump to an 11-2 loss in just five innings.

Melbourne started with Nicole Mether on the mound but were

soon reading from a familiar script after giving up four runs in the first innings. Most came from walks or errors, with Werribee managing only one hit.

Melbourne failed to score in its opening two innings and, while Mether improved on her opening effort, the locals scored another run in the second.

Rachel Limburg took over pitching duties for the third inning and

■ FENNER ON FIRE Koonung Heights made a strong start to the two-day match of the Wilson Shield cricket season, scoring 266 against Kerrimuir United. Opener James Fenner was best with 79, while David Blashki scored 60. Kerrimuir will resume at 0/11.

kept the scoreline under control, while Melbourne made its only runs of the game through Limburg and Jessica Wearne.

But things unravelled in the fourth innings, Werribee scoring five runs, and the mercy rule was enacted after five innings.

Melbourne coach Randall Vavra said his team just wasn’t ready when the game started. “The girls were asleep,” he said.

“Unfortunately things haven’t changed much in the past three weeks, so I’m going to shake things up a bit this week.”

Vavra will bring in experienced seconds pitcher Katrina Lambrou to try to solve the pitching woes and to guide his young team. “She’s usually around the strike zone,” he said. ● Melbourne’s men fell away late in the game to lose 7-2 to the highly fancied Baycats in Geelong.
