Interested in becoming a councillor?

ARE you interested in shaping the future of Warrnambool?

With council elections being held later this year, now is the time to learn more about leadership opportunities that enable you to make a difference.

Councils are the closest level of government to the community.

To represent their communities successfully, they need great quality candidates to put their hand up for election.

Potential council candidates are encouraged to engage with the Municipal Association of Victoria’s (MAV) Stand for Council campaign.

To support potential candidates Warrnambool City Council, in partnership with the MAV, is hosting an information session to provide information and inspiration.

The session, for the Barwon-South West region, will be held at the Lighthouse Theatre on June 27.

The MAV will also be providing a ‘Citizen to Councillor Guide 2024’. This guide is for prospective candidates to further understand the roles and responsibilities of a councillor and the importance of this elected position.

Warrnambool City Council acting chief executive officer Luke Coughlan said the importance of strong local leadership could not be understated.

“For a council to be effective it needs community leaders to put their hands up and become candidates,” Mr Coughlan said.

“I encourage anyone considering standing in the election later this year to come along or log into the information

session and use the resources of the MAV’s Stand for Council campaign.” MAV chief executive officer Kelly Grisby said the MAV Stand for Council campaign was designed to encourage and support a diverse range of candidates from across the Victorian community, including First Nations, and new and emerging communities.

“If you are thinking of nominating for council as a candidate, these sessions and resources will help you to further consider the broad responsibilities of a councillor, the wide range of issues you will be required to make decisions about and the time commitment,” Ms Grigsby said.

Community mourns stalwart

THE Warrnambool community is this week mourning the loss of one of its own with the sad passing of stalwart Andrew Suggett.

The proud, hard-working great grandfather was well known across the district for his work with Warrnambool’s Parkinson’s Support Group and his drive to ensure people were connected with services they needed – and that they were never alone.

It was that passion and willingness to help others that he will long be remembered for; that and his uncanny way of making strangers instantly feel like friends.

In an interview with the Weekly last September (just a month before being named Victorian Senior of the Year), Mr Suggett said he believed that living with Parkinson’s meant you had “good days and better days.”

Always ready to look on the bright side of life, and not one to sit back and let others do all the work, he constantly gave back to the town he called home for just over eight decades.

“My diagnosis (of Parkinson’s Disease) and my retirement from the workforce actually opened so many doors for me,” he had told the Weekly And one of those biggest doors led him to an active role within Warrnambool’s Parkinson’s Support Group.

It didn’t take long for Mr Suggett to become the group’s leader and he made it his mission to encourage others to make the most of every opportunity

to expand their support network and to share their experiences.

“One of the biggest epidemics in towns like ours is loneliness and that is a terrible reality. Our support group helps to alleviate that,” he told the Weekly

Mr Suggett also held the position of chairman of the Warrnambool Health Support Network, providing an important link between people and available services.

In his own words, he believed it was important that people knew they were not alone in their fight and that there were people who cared.

Following a tragic accident while playing golf, Mr Suggett succumbed to his injuries at The Royal Melbourne Hospital last Friday where he was surrounded by his loving family.

He is survived by wife Betty, children Jenny, David and Kathryn, nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

* Tributes have continued to flow since Mr Suggett’s sudden passing, reflecting the high esteem in which he was held by many.

Words such as ‘he was the best in what humanity has to offer; a person driven by identifying a community need and finding a way to bring people together; a true gentleman; a delight to chat with’…are all synonymous with a man that has left a lasting impression on many far and wide.

Mr Suggett leaves behind a legacy that will long be respected, remembered and admired.

RIP.

Migration agreement extended

THE Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) that allows south west employers to take on overseas workers to fill labour shortages, has been extended for another year.

The DAMA now allows for up to 300 workers to come to the south west to fill vacancies in more than 120 occupations ranging from accountants and chefs, to plumbers and nurses.

“The DAMA has proven invaluable for regional employers who could not find local people to fill vacancies,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“It’s great to have this extended, there is clearly a need for more workers in the south west and the DAMA enables skilled workers to come to our region and help local businesses remain viable and competitive.

“There are two temporary skill shortage visa types that are covered by the DAMA, 482 and 494.”

Cr Blain said these visas offer the potential for permanent residency, which gives further certainty to employers and boosts the city’s capacity to attract much-needed workers.

The previous DAMA agreement allowed for up to 100 endorsed workers to come to the south west each year, a limit that was reached in each of the past two years.

Eligibility to transition to permanent residency for those with a 482 visa has been reduced from three years to two years employment with a sponsoring employer.

Holders of 494 visas are eligible to transition to permanent residency after three years.

Council’s manager economic development Steve Hoy said the business community had embraced the opportunities available through the DAMA, which is administered by council on behalf of the region.

“The feedback provided to council resulted in our DAMA renewal application seeking to increase the number of endorsed workers and to expand the approved list of occupations,” Mr Hoy said.

“Over recent years the workers hired through the DAMA have made important contributions to the region’s economy.”

Andrew Suggett will long be remembered, and sadly missed, by the Warrnambool and district community. 2023D

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

From the Mayor:

It was a big Easter across sunny Moyne with activities, special visitors and events drawing people to our region.

Council’s caravan parks were very busy, with Killarney, Koroit, Mortlake and Yambuk parks booked out, and over 85% occupancy at the Gardens and Southcombe parks in Port Fairy. It’s been fantastic to see our parks busy and people enjoying everything Moyne Shire has to offer.

The return visit by the MFV Tacoma 72 years after it departed Port Fairy created a lot of interest. It was great to officially welcome the vessel and crew, and to see the hundreds of people who took a tour of the Tacoma while it was docked.

It was fascinating to hear the stories of the pioneering Haldane families and the Bellamy brothers who left on the Tacoma in 1952 for Port Lincoln. Jack Bellamy, 90, received a very warm welcome from the large crowd when the Tacoma arrived.

The Federal Government recently declared an offshore wind zone in the Southern Ocean off the coast of Moyne Shire. Council is asking the community to share its views on offshore wind developments, to help inform our advocacy position.

While Council is not involved in decisions on permits, we can play an important role in advocacy to try and derive the best possible outcome for our community. We want to hear your thoughts on offshore wind developments, associated infrastructure and what direct economic benefits council should advocate for.

You can provide your feedback via Engage Moyne (engage.moyne.vic.gov.au) or at a customer service centre until 10am on Tuesday April 16.

Local Government elections will be held later this year and the Municipal Association of Victoria is planning a series of information sessions for those who might be thinking about standing for election.

The session for our region will be held in Warrnambool on Thursday June 27 and I would encourage anyone who is considering putting their hand up to represent their community to register to attend. You can find out more and register online at www.mav.asn.au/stand-forcouncil-2024

Cr Ian Smith Mayor

Join the advocacy effort to help improve regional roads

Moyne Shire Council is asking residents to join a joint advocacy effort to improve the quality of regional roads.

The RACV last week launched the launched the ‘My Country Road’ campaign, a road safety initiative asking Victorians to provide feedback about how safe they feel on roads in regional Victoria.

The survey uses an online interactive map that shows high-speed roads with large concentrations of crashes causing death or serious injury in regional Victoria.

Mayor, Cr Ian Smith,

encouraged residents to head online and have their say about the condition of regional roads.

“Roads are the number one issue raised with us as Councillors, so this survey is another tool people can use to highlight roads that are in poor condition,” he said.

“The survey will provide information to all levels of government and will provide another tool in our advocacy efforts to increase funding for improvements.

“If we can all work together to highlight the perilous

condition of our roads – in particular state controlled –roads with one unified voice, that’s when Governments listen.”

Cr Smith said there are around 3,564km of roads situated within Moyne Shire and it is a huge challenge each year to maintain, repair and restore them.

He said the roads within Moyne Shire are divided into two main categories - arterial roads (603km) which the State Government manages and municipal roads (2961 km) which Council has responsibility for.

“We want feedback on all types of roads – to help paint the picture and to build the case for increased levels of funding from all levels of Government,” he said. The survey can be accessed at www.racv.com.au/ haveyoursay.

State controlled roads within the Moyne Shire Council, including four highways including: 1 – Great Ocean Road, 2 – Hamilton Highway, 3 – Hopkins Highway 4 – Princes Highway.

Community asked for views on offshore wind zone

The Moyne Shire community will be asked to share their views on offshore wind developments to help inform Council’s advocacy position.

Mayor Cr Ian Smith said while Council would not be involved in decisions on permits, it could play an important role in advocacy to try and derive the best possible outcome for the community.

“The Federal Government has declared the zone in waters controlled by the Commonwealth, which may lead to developments in that zone,” he said.

“While Council isn’t involved in the decision around declaring the zone or in issuing of permits for future developments, we can advocate strongly on behalf of our community –just as we do with onshore developments. “Council was also an active participant in the consultation process for the offshore zone, making a submission to the Federal Government’s consultation and had previously made a submission to a State Government policy discussion paper in 2022.

“Our survey is asking our community their thoughts on offshore wind developments, associated infrastructure and what direct economic benefits council should advocate for.”

The survey is open until Tuesday April16 at 10am and can be accessed on the Engage Moyne website, or at Council’s customer service centres.

Volunteers needed for vital service

LIKE so many organisations across the district, Warrnambool’s Francis Foundation is sending out an urgent plea for more volunteers to ensure its future.

The foundation, which runs Alveston House on Banyan Street, relies on funds raised from its op shop in Port Fairy (along with donations from philanthropic trusts) to continue to provide accommodation and support for some of the city’s most vulnerable people. But the op shop desperately needs more volunteers to keep the doors open.

“Alveston House has a long history and we desperately want to ensure it continues long into the future,” foundation coordinator Paul Hogan said.

“The building itself was once a nursing home but since the mid-1980s it has been used by the foundation to provide accommodation for those with a mental illness and/or are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless.”

The house is currently home to 10 residents who not only benefit from a safe and warm place to sleep, but also have daily interaction with Paul and his team of volunteers who are able to put them in contact with available services locally.

“Some of our residents are long-term while others are not so long,” Paul said.

Once resident has been there for the past 23 years while another arrived only last October.

“It’s certainly not a free for all, but we do offer affordability and safety. The residents pay rent, their linen is provided and cleaned, and they all share in regular chores around the house.

“This gives them a sense of responsibility, a sense of belonging. It’s important that they feel a sense of worth.” Paul said while the house relies on volunteers to help out, so too does the Op Shop in Port Fairy – which has become a vital source of income.

“Our op shop is small but nice. It has a range of special items and is currently open most days of the week depending on the availability of our volunteers.”

The shop, in Sackville Street, is well known for its range of clothing, small items and bric-a-brac. The foundation currently has around 40 volunteers on its list, however the shop requires at least two volunteers for every shift.

“Forty may sound like a lot but if we want to keep the shop open up to seven days a week we certainly need more,” Paul said.

“We’re extremely grateful for any hours people may give, whether that be a three hour stint every few days, once a week, or even once a month; it all helps alleviate the pressure off our small band of active volunteers.”

One volunteer who has long donated his time and energy on a regular basis is Peter McMahon, a former psych nurse who has become a valuable part of the Alveston House ‘team.’

“This place (Alveston) really gets under your skin,” he said.

“It’s nice to come here and feel I’m doing something worthwhile. These residents are always up for a chat.

“I came here in the late 1990s, originally to support Joan (Francis, foundation founder) but after she passed away I

just knew I had to keep coming. We need to do all we can to ensure both the foundation and Alveston House continues for years to come.”

Peter spends most of his days at Alveston House, talking with residents and helping them to “negotiate life’s challenges.”

“Some of these men have some real issues to contend with and I’m here with the team to help them work through those,” Peter said.

“Volunteering is so rewarding, whether that’s here at the house, in the op shop or elsewhere and I encourage everyone to do it in one form or another.”

Anyone wishing to become a volunteer with the Francis Foundation – in particular those who can spend some time volunteering in the op shop – is urged to contact Paul Hogan on 5562 5198.

THE Warrnambool community has once again thrown its support behind a local charity’s fundraising appeal.

The Crystal Lee Foundation recently put a call out asking for financial support to ensure the continuation of its free bereavement support service.

The Warrnambool-based organisation is hoping locals will dig deep and join the ‘Crystal Lee Foundation $100 Club’ to help keep its bereavement counsellor on the road.

As of earlier this week the appeal had raised $2100 towards its $5000 target to ‘Keep Michael on the Road’.

“We’re thrilled with the support we have received so far for the appeal and very grateful to all those who have donated,” Crystal Lee Foundation executive

officer Julienne Clifford said.

“We have estimated it will cost around $5,000 this year to keep our wonderful bereavement counsellor, Michael Turner-Downes, on the road,” Ms Clifford said.

“He (Michael) is wonderful with people and has been on the road for two years now. He has helped more than 60 people across the district and we hope to help many more in the years to come.”

The foundation does not receive any government funding and in tough times it becomes even more challenging to raise funds.

The free service is available to anyone who has lost someone, regardless of age or circumstance.

Anyone wishing to donate $100 towards the appeal can do so by heading to the Crystal Lee Foundation website.

Brierly upgrade on track

WORKS on the upgrade of the eastern oval at Brierly Reserve is on track to be completed by June-July this year.

Last week saw the pouring of the concrete pad that will provide the foundation for the synthetic turf cricket wicket and it’s anticipated the first load of 2,000 cubic metres of river sand will arrive shortly.

The river sand will provide a base, ready for the grass turf rollout.

It is anticipated the rollout of turf will begin later this month and be completed in May, with the new surface to be ready for the cricket season later this year.

To ensure the best possible long-term outcome council will allow the turf to “settle in” and establish a strong root system. New lighting towers will be installed in May and provide enough light to meet Football Victoria’s semi-professional competition and professional training requirements.

“This is leading towards a really great outcome for the north-east Warrnambool community and for those involved in soccer and cricket,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“The playing surface will be vastly improved and the reconfiguration of the oval creates two new soccer fields for what is a growing sport in the south west.”

Warrnambool Rangers Soccer Club will relocate from Jones Oval to the reserve’s new soccer fields in 2025.

Council is also in the process of sourcing

a community engagement specialist to work with the north-east Warrnambool community to develop a function brief for a Sports and Community Hub at Brierly. This is an important step in the delivery

of the master plan because it will ensure council aims for a hub that meets community needs. It will also inform a business case for the project which will be required for attracting

state and federal government funding.

In March a delegation of councillors and senior staff discussed funding for Brierly Reserve with state parliamentarians as part of council’s advocacy efforts.

Council to continue aged services

WARRNAMBOOL City Council has committed to continue services that help people live independently at home and in the community.

A decision on whether council should remain active in the aged and disability services sector was brought before council as a result of the federal government’s reforms to the Commonwealth Home Support Program, which will transition to the Support at Home program in 2027.

Warrnambool City Council is the largest provider of in-home aged care and community care services in Warrnambool.

This is done through the federal government-funded Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), the state government-funded Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC-PYP), brokered services and services funded through the Department of Veteran Affairs.

Between 1200 and 1400 residents depend on these services provided by council.

At its meeting last Monday night council voted to remain involved in, and to expand and diversify, the range of aged and disability services.

“I think it’s an amazing outcome that we’re actually going

to continue to deliver and expand services,” mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“I think that’s a feather in the cap for Warrnambool City Council.

“We’re already a trusted provider and we’re hoping to continue to grow that.

“We do have an ageing population and it’s critical that we continue the service. This also gives surety to our staff that we are committed to staying and we are committed to growing.”

Cr Blain said Warrnambool City Council was going against the trend of other LGAs who are exiting services.

“We’re really giving it a stamp of confidence and we really do think that local government can do a great job of delivering these services to the community,” Cr Blain said.

To help inform the decision, council appointed Lake Advisory to undertake an independent review of its aged and disability services.

The report found council’s involvement in home support services, for which it receives Commonwealth funding, was sustainable.

The report indicated that in 2022-23 council delivered 62,052 hours of aged and disability services, while a market analysis found that there were no local providers who currently had the capacity to deliver the volume of

services provided by council.

Council also consulted with the community about the future of home support services.

A survey drew 448 responses from clients and community members while more than 150 clients, community members, volunteers and staff took part in focus group discussions.

The key findings from the consultation were:

Overwhelming satisfaction with council’s current services; Significant apprehension from staff, clients, carers and the community about the impact of the Commonwealth reforms on local service delivery, with fears of reduced support or changes in service providers.

Clients also expressed a strong desire for more information and transparency from the council regarding future changes, emphasising the importance of local knowledge and support in service delivery.

Council will now work on implementing the review recommendations to improve service delivery systems and quality assurance to transition the Commonwealth Home Support Program into Support At Home Program from July 1, 2027.

The services council provides will be continually reviewed to ensure they operate in a financially sustainable manner.

The pouring of the concrete pad last week marked another milestone in the upgrade of Brierly Reserve. 2024E

Don’t become a victim...be cybersafe

SMALL businesses across the district are being urged to revisit their cyber security measures – and to learn more about how best to protect themselves from ‘cyber attack.’

It’s time to break the silence of business victims and to encourage open discussion around the topic.

In light of recent federal government changes to the Australian Privacy Act, a symposium will be held at Warrnambool’s Lighthouse Theatre on Thursday, April 18 from 1pm-4pm.

The event will provide expert insight for leadership and executive teams from organisations that are working to protect their business from cyber attack.

In 2022 there were 76,000 reported cybercrime attacks, which equates to one incident every seven minutes in ‘Australia.

According to Graeme Pye from Deakin University, while most ‘small-toenterprises’ (SMEs) want to be cyber safe, there are impediments that some are facing that makes it difficult to achieve on their own.

This includes lack of financial resources and cyber expertise, limited access to relevant cyber security information and a false belief that cyber incidents, hacks and scams ‘happen to someone else.’

“There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cyber security for SMEs but the most important thing to do is generate an ongoing discussion across all levels regarding its importance, staff

awareness, incident reporting and more,” Mr Pye said.

“A business’ cyber security status needs to be updated to keep pace. By regularly reviewing and updating their small business plan, the business can ensure they are well prepared and protected.”

The ‘CyberSafe24 Great South Coast’ presenters will provide accurate and reliable information on the steps that can be taken to secure your organisation.

Dr Graeme Pye, Rachel Dixon, Robert Lane and Fiona Long will give valuable insights into recent events and how best to avoid becoming a cyber victim.

Dr Pye is a lecturer with 20 years’ experience in the Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics at Deakin University. His research is widely published and focuses primarily on cyber security analysis of systems.

He continues to investigate the challenges and risk aspects of small to medium enterprises.

Rachel Dixon (Office of the Victorian Information Commission) has a background in banking and insurance, was chief operating officer at several video streaming and adtech companies and was founder of a telecommunications company and several smaller IT start-ups.

She was also a film and television producer and video game marketer.

Robert Lane is well recognised for his experience in the application of strategy, risk and operational management within

governance frameworks.

He applies this directly in various engagements with private clients, as an adviser to their Boards, and has experience as the Risk Chair of a financial institution.

Robert has undertaken many governance reviews and board appraisals and regularly works with boards to develop their capacity and effectiveness.

Fiona Long is the founder and director of Assuredly and Cyber Security Consulting PL with over two decades in cyber security.

Her experience spans from enhancing online banking security to leading cybercrime initiatives at a major data

management firm.

Fiona is dedicated to demystifying cyber security, offering advice and tools to help individuals and businesses secure their goals.

She stands out as Australia’s only solo female cyber security company founder, the first female IRAP assessor in New South Wales, and a two-time finalist for Australia’s Most Outstanding Woman in IT Security at the Australian Women in Security awards.

With such an experienced list of speakers on the program, this month’s symposium in Warrnambool is a not-tobe-missed event.

Have your say on road conditions

MOYNE motorists are being encouraged to have their say on the state of regional roads.

Moyne Shire Council is asking residents to join a joint advocacy effort to improve the quality of regional roads.

THE South West Victoria Alliance of Councils is calling on the state government to allocate a greater share of the new shortstay accommodation levy to rural and regional Victoria.

According to alliance chair, Cr Ben Blain, the 7.5 per cent levy was designed to help drive short-stay accommodation properties back onto the long-term rentals market.

“We agree with the aim of the levy but it is not a full solution in itself,” Cr Blain said.

“That is why we would like to see a greater and fairer proportion of the levy income allocated to housing projects in rural and regional areas.

“According to the state government, almost half of the 36,000 properties used for short stay accommodation

Short-stay levy plea

across Victoria are in rural and regional areas but the government has committed to spending only 25 per cent of funds raised by the levy in rural and regional areas.”

Cr Blain said while the alliance acknowledged that 50 per cent of all short-stay spending in the state may not be occurring outside the metropolitan area, it did however believe there was a disproportionate transfer of funds that cuts income from already struggling rural and regional communities.

“It is likely that the money raised by the levy could have been spent by tourists in regional communities on food, beverages or produce,” Cr Blain said.

“Instead, it is going towards paying for housing projects in metropolitan Melbourne.

“Rural and regional cities and towns face a crucial shortage of essential workers, from nurses and doctors to tradies and seasonal workers.”

He believes many people who are offered jobs in regional and rural centres can’t take up those jobs because of a dire lack of accommodation.

“We call on the state government to spend more of the funds raised through the levy in country Victoria,” he said. “As part of the implementation of the new levy, the state government has removed the power of local councils to apply their own charges to short-stay accommodation.

“This removes a potential funding source for local governments, which are already under severe financial pressure.”

He added that it was crucial that the funds raised by the levy be returned proportionately to the communities to where they are raised.

“That would go a long way to help communities provide the homes that workers and families need right across the state,” Cr Blain said.

Exhibition makes award shortlist

Gorman and Mirka Mora’s

LISA Gormon and Mirka Mora’s (‘Studio Bright’) recent exhibition at the Warrnambool Art Gallery has been shortlisted in the 2024 Australian Interior Design Awards.

The awards, which attracted a recordbreaking 222 projects, stand as the pinnacle of Australia’s industry-based

design accolades.

In the installation design category, Studio Bright was one of six nominations to be shortlisted.

The Australian Interior Design Awards celebrates interior design excellence, with the awards holding both national and international significance.

The esteemed program provides a

platform to showcase projects spanning residential, commercial and public sectors from both established and emerging designers.

As the Australian design and architecture industry continues to evolve, so too does the level of creativity and innovation within each project submission for the 2024 awards program.

The diverse shortlist of projects provides a unique narrative and perspective, reflective of the contemporary industry landscape, showcasing authenticity, character and material innovation within each project’s respective field.

The full list of awarded and commended projects will be presented at a gala presentation dinner, to be held in Sydney on Friday, June 14.

Talks continue on offshore zone

WARRNAMBOOL City Council has continued its advocacy over the off-shore wind farm zone in a meeting with Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen.

“When the off-shore wind farm zone was declared, council said it would advocate to ensure the best possible outcome for Warrnambool,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Blain said.

“The meeting with Minister Bowen in Sydney was an opportunity to re-emphasise the community’s concerns and in particular the potential impact on whales, fishing and tourism.

“The minister was receptive, interested and aware of the diverse range of views held in our community towards the off-shore proposal.

WARRNAMBOOL Bridge Club members meet regularly at Brauerander Reserve to play friendly duplicate bridge competitions.

“We were also able to raise with the minister points relating to on-shore infrastructure and other opportunities for Warrnambool.”

While the meeting was deemed positive, the mayor said the community must remain pragmatic.

“This is not a project over which council has any statutory authority but we will continue to keep in touch with the minister and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water to do what we can to get the best possible outcome for our municipality,” Cr Blain said.

“The best possible outcome might mean doing what we can to reduce the visual impact of turbines plus onshore infrastructure, advocating for jobs to be located in Warrnambool.”

The next stage in the Australian Government’s offshore

wind area initiative will involve the issuing of feasibility licences to companies who have expressed an interest in building, installing and operating wind turbines.

“The issuing of a feasibility licence is a step in a process that also involves environmental assessments and further opportunity for community feedback,” Cr Blain said.

South-west Victorian and south-east South Australian communities were engaged with the consultation process run by the federal government in relation to the Southern Ocean wind farm zone.

The Southern Ocean proposal received 3285 submissions compared to 765 submissions for the wind farm area off the Gippsland coast.

The Southern Ocean wind farm zone covers 1030sqkm while the zone off Gippsland covers 15,000sqkm.

An afternoon of music

THE Warrnambool City Bowls Club is the place to be next Thursday for an afternoon of music and song.

Peter Coad and The Coad Sisters, along with Runaway Dixie Show, will perform live at the club from 1.30pm-4.30pm.

An award-winning, multi-talented concert act, Peter Coad and The Coad Sisters present their own popular original songs of Aussie character and bush stories – with a sprinkling of classic Australiana, bush ballads.

The group has taken its show across Australia for more than three decades and still regularly tours and performs at festivals.

They will be joined in Warrnambool by Golden Guitar Awards of Australia nominees (on several occasions) Runaway Dixie who have released five albums to date. Formed in early 2009, this group offers traditional Bluegrass, Gospel and vibrant country classics.

In May 2017, Runaway Dixie represented Australia at the Mississippi state bicentennial celebrations as part of the Jimmie Rodgers Festival.

The two groups will bring a wealth of experience and talent to Warrnambool on April 18 so make sure you don’t miss out on what looks set to be a great afternoon of entertainment.

Spotlight on Port Fairy

SOME of the youngest visitors to the Port Fairy Library earlier this week had the chance to read to a very special four-legged visitor.

Walter the dog was “all ears” when children took turns at reading books to their new friend on Monday morning.

According to librarian Athena Morton, reading to dogs is a great way for children to have fun while improving their literacy skills.

Walter was ‘all ears’

“The presence of a furry friend can make the reading experience even more enjoyable and engaging for young children,” Ms Morton said.

“And Walter was certainly a big hit. He sat very patiently as each child took turns to read some of their favourite books. And he absolutely loved the attention and the pats that followed at the end of each story.”

Walter’s visit proved a wonderful way to kick start week two of school holiday activities at the library.

YARDING 2733 CHANGE 764 more

It was a good offering of most categories for the top end however not as good as the previous week with a number of cattle still showing the effects of the dry conditions and this was most noticeable in the trade cattle.

The grown cattle and bullocks displayed less weight for the lead. The cow offering consisted of mostly good quality lines with a fair mixture of beef and dairy breeds as well as increased numbers of light weight cows on offer. The sale comprised 647 grown cattle plus 907 trade and 1,153 cows as well as 26 grown bulls. Bullocks and manufacturing steers increased by 20c to 30c/kg. Trade cattle and vealers were dearer by 30c to 50c/kg in places. Most cows were 20c/kg stronger overall categories and more in places especially for medium to light weight lines. Grown bulls remain firm although some dairy bulls sold to a dearer market of up to 20c/ kg. This week the offering of vealers made between 300c and 412c/kg. Trade steers and heifers sold between 300c and 360c/ kg. Grown cattle topped at 360c/kg. Manufacturing steers sold up to 308c/ kg.

Lamb Yarding: 3000(NQ)

Numbers increased dramatically this week to 27,500 lambs representing an increase of some 7,500 head. The overall quality was very good. There was an excellent selection of trade weight lambs on offer. The increase in numbers overall led to a larger percentage of tail end lambs. Most process were present and not all were fully active. Rectocker and feeder interest was stronger with the addition of one new buyer securing lambs for feedlots and back to paddocks in South East SA. Local support was strong with lot feeders paying up to $144/head. The market again was very resilient however it did fluctuate throughout to remain fully firm to $5/head stronger over most categories at the top end of the drafts. The exception being the 1 and 2 score pens over 20kg cwt that were softer by $10/head including lambs back to the paddock. Majority of lamb to the trade made between 600c to 680c/kg cwt with the odd sale to 730c/kg cwt. The best heavy lambs made to $236/ head. Light lamb 12 to 16kg sold from $119 to $125/head. Lamb to the trade 18 to 22kg sold from $115 to $160/head with the 22 to 26kg from $140 to $189/head. Hoggets topped at $105/head. Market Reporter

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE COURTS

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS GROUNDS Strong start for reigning premiers

REIGNING Hampden League premiers South Warrnambool has kick started its 2024 campaign with a round one win over North.

The much-anticipated grand final re-match once again lived up to expectations, with spectators treated to a great display of quality football at Friendlies Society Park.

The Roosters got off to a flying start, kicking 4.2 to 1.1 in the first quarter before North found its momentum in the second to get within a goal at the main break.

An eight goal third quarter proved the key for South, while the Eagles could only add three points to the board.

The Eagles went out firing in the final term, kicking five majors while containing the Roosters to just four points.

Final scores were South Warrnambool 14.11.95 to North Warrnambool 11.6.72.

Best for the Roosters were Josh Saunders, Jed Henderson, Harry Lee, Myles McCluggage, Nick Thompson and Shannon

Beks while for the Eagles Angus Noske, Jackson Grundy, Jack Johnstone, Jett Bermingham, Jordan Dillon and Michael Barlow were best.

Shannon Beks kicked five for South and was supported on the board by Samuel Rhodes, Oliver Smith and Nick Thompson with two apiece.

Other contributors included Jack Dye,Sam Kelly and Myles McCluggage (one each).

For North, Adam Wines booted three while Michael Barlow, Thomas Batten, Harley Cobb, Jackson Grundy, Thomas James, Bailey Jenkinson, Felix Jones and Matthew Wines kicked one each.

Other round one Hampden League matches, Koroit defeated Warrnambool, Port Fairy was big winners over Portland, Cobden defeated the Kangaroos and Terang Mortlake took the points over Camperdown. Round two action this weekend will see Koroit host Cobden, Warrnambool will travel to Gardens Oval, North will host Portland, Hamilton will face Camperdown and Terang Mortlake will host the Roosters.

WARRNAMBOOL & DISTRICT FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS GROUNDS Merrivale shines in grand final rematch

MERRIVALE has turned the tables on last year’s Warrnambool District League premiers Nirranda, taking a first-round win under lights last weekend.

The two sides last met in the 2023 grand final – when Nirranda took premiership honours with a 21-point win over the Tigers.

During last Saturday’s grand final rematch Merrivale showed it will once again be a force in the league, thrilling its home crowd with a 9.8.62 to 7.5.47 victory.

Manny Sandow had a great day out for the Tigers, booting home four goals and being named best for his side.

Team-mates Flynn Atchison, Jonathan Sauze, Jack Neave, Jalen Porter and Billy Hancocks were also effective all over the ground.

Alongside Sandow, other goal kickers included Jack Neave (3), Reggie Barling and Jaxon Johnstone (one each).

For Nirranda, Jackson Couch and Dylan Philp both contributed two goals, while Danny Craven, Jason Lee and Tyson Royal also added to the scoreboard. Best for Nirranda were Cody Wagstaff, Louis Kew, Hugh Porter, Bronte McCann, Danny Craven and John Paulin.

Other round one winners were Russells Creek, Kolora Noorat, Allansford and Panmure.

Round two tomorrow (Saturday) will see Old Collegians host Timboon, Kolora Noorat will travel to Allansford, South Rovers at home to Dennington, Russells Creek will host Merrivale and Panmure will travel to Nirranda.

Winter indoor bowls begins

THE winter pennant season has begun for Warrnambool Indoor Bowls.

The new season began last Monday, April 8, with 26 teams representing nine clubs.

Those entered include Allansford (eight teams), Dennington (three), Wannon Park (six), City Memorial (two), Koroit (two), Cooramook (two) and one team from Port Fairy, Grangeburn and Lawn Tennis.

This season’s pennant will see 104 players competing each week.

The Allansford Cats, skippered by Jacinta Marney, now sit on top of the division one ladder after the first game. Also with a first round win were the defending premiers, Allansford Tigers, skippered by James Ruddle. James put on a great display of bowling

which showed that he hadn’t lost any of his talent over the break.

Making up the top four are the Les Lenehan skippered Dennington High 5’s and Maureen Drennan’s Wannon Park Dogs.

Division two has the Dennington Devils on top, with Allansford Panthers, Allansford Cougars and Dennington Dashers making up the four.

In division three Grangeburn had a big win, giving skipper Rylan Pech an early 18th birthday present.

They are followed by Cooramook Sinners, City Raiders and Wannon Park Barkers.

One of the competition’s long-standing members, Brian Arnold from Port Fairy, celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary over the break and members send their congratulations to Brian and his wife on this achievement.

Orford table tennis to resume

THE Orford and District Table Tennis Association will start its new season with an opening tournament next Wednesday, April 17.

The event will be held at the Orford Hall starting at 7.30pm.

Cost will be $5 per player, with names to be taken on the night.

Pennant competition will commence the following week, Wednesday, April 24 at the venue of the home team.

There are vacancies in both the Port Fairy and Warrnambool teams for those willing to try their hand playing in the association.

If a team would like to start, equipment will be available. All welcome.

Eight teams fought out the competition in 2023 eliminating the bye of previous years.

The main playing venues are the Orford Hall and Warrnambool Table Tennis Stadium.

This has eliminated travel to the district wool sheds of past years, and the venues are a little warmer than the sheds of the past.

David Rowbottom and Andrew McGrath will lead an unchanged committee for 2024. Their combined service to the association in executive positions is 100 years.

Last night for twilight comp

THE final night for the twilight series at East Framlingham Golf Club attracted good player numbers to the course last Wednesday.

Tony Kenna again had a good round, finishing on 37 to win the men’s scratch while Brad White took the handicap with 47-17-30.

The men’s scratch (non-handicap) went to Darren Hansford on 43 while the men’s non-handicap was won by Greg Billington and Jeff Westmore, both on 51-16-35.

Cathie West had a strong round of 54 to take the ladies’ scratch.

Nearest the pins: 1st Brett Willsher, 2nd Eddie Kenna, 3rd Terry Coolahan, 4th James McLeod, 5th Eddie Kenna, 6th Brett Willsher, 7th Rob Field, 8th Cathie West and 9th Paddy Scanlon.

The raffle winners were John Eccles and Billy McConnell.

The golf club thanks all its sponsors for their support throughout the season, and all players who participated throughout the competition.

SEASON 2024 of Heytesbury Indoor Bias Bowls Association (HIBBA) will kick off at the Simpson Hall next Wednesday, April 17.

The opening night will commence at 7.30pm and all interested players are urged to let their club secretary know as entries will close at 10am on Tuesday (April 16).

One week later, the 2024 pennant season will start (Wednesday, April 24). This year there will be eight teams in each divisionthanks to all clubs for making this happen. It has been quite a while since this has happened so

Ryan on the national stage

TALENTED Warrnambool netballer

Eva Ryan is currently representing Victoria at the National Netball Championships.

The annual championships began at Frankston’s Jubilee Park Stadium last Tuesday, April 9 and will conclude this Sunday.

The championships provide an opportunity for developing athletes, coaches, umpires and officials from each state and territory to compete across six days, with one team from the 17 and under and 19 and under age groups crowned champions on the final day.

With representatives from every state and territory, this year’s competition will once again feature some of the country’s best up-and-coming athletes.

Ryan, who is making her state team debut, was one of 12 athletes selected for Victoria’s 17 and under side.

Since her selection, the 16 year-old has been travelling to Melbourne twice a week for training sessions, on top of playing at Parkville Netball each Tuesday. Ryan first broke into the Netball Victoria athlete pathway representing Hampden Football Netball League in the 15 and under division at the 2022 Western Region Association Netball Championships.

She was talent identified (TID) at the event and subsequently selected in the Netball Victoria Talent Academy for the western region.

Ryan has since participated in Netball Victoria’s inaugural Elevate pathway program, designed to provide promising athletes aged 15-18 years with a controlled training environment to support improved physical preparation in the leadup to state team trials.

Athletes in the Elevate program attend up to four sessions a week across three days focusing on court work, gym, and recovery.

Ryan said both Talent Academy and Elevate were beneficial for introducing her to a higher performance standard and allowing her to meet fellow athletes from across the state.

Although traditionally a holding shooter with the Warrnambool Football Netball Club, Ryan is now wearing the goal keeper bib alongside her Vic team-mates. Her 192cm height and ability to keep a steady head in high pressure situations, lends itself to the defensive circle where controlling adrenaline rushes is crucial. Victoria’s 17 and under side got its national campaign off to a flying start on Tuesday, with two wins from the first two rounds (the first against the ACT 45-23 and the second against Queensland 38-31).

In round three the Vics lost to Western Australia 25-35.

Round four, played on Wednesday night, saw Victoria defeat Tasmania 38-19.

At the time the Weekly went to print, results were not known from rounds five to seven (played yesterday and today).

The national championship finals will start tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

HEYTESBURY INDOOR BIAS BOWLS ASSOCIATION NOTES

should make for a good year of bowls on the mat. Heytesbury is 60 years young this year, with pennant starting in 1964.

The organisation will hold a dinner to celebrate the milestone on Saturday, April 27 at the Cobden Golf Club.

Replies for the 60th birthday celebrations should be in to club secretaries before Saturday, April 20 with $35 for the evening (drinks at bar prices).

Later in the month, the Ballarat Indoor Bowls Association comes to the area once again, and will be held at Simpson Hall on Sunday, May 5.

Entries for that will close on Tuesday, April 30 so let your club secretary know if you want to come and

enjoy a good day of bowls with people you don’t normally play with.

It will be an enjoyable day and well worth attending and representing Heytesbury against these northern visitors.

Entries for the VIBBA mens’ and women’s pairs, mens’ and women’s fours and junior singles close on Tuesday, May 7.

These events will be held at Warrnambool Stadium so why not go along and gain valuable experience ahead of Ballarat Intergroup and other events later in the year. Next week’s report will include results from the opening tournament at Simpson to kick off season 2024.
