Bestselling author will join video link

ONE of Australia’s most prominent contemporary authors, Pip Williams, will join Warrnambool Library members via live video link for an exclusive in-library event on Saturday, August 16.

Williams burst onto the literary scene in 2020 with her debut novel The Dictionary of Lost Words which sold over one million copies.

It has been translated into 30 languages and is currently being developed into a television series.

Her follow up novel, The Bookbinder of Jericho, was an instant bestseller.

It was voted number one on Dymocks’ Top 101 Books list for 2024 and won the highly prestigious Fiction Book of the Year at the Australian Book Industry Awards.

The conversation at the Warrnambool Library will explore these richly researched works that illuminate the overlooked stories of women, knowledge, and language in times of great social change.

Warrnambool Library manager Maryanne Vagg said the latest event under the library’s ‘Readers Rendezvous’ banner would be its biggest yet.

“We started the Readers Rendezvous series to bring book lovers together to share their passion for literature, and to secure an author of Pip Williams’ standing is incredibly exciting,” she said.

“Pip is currently writing her next book and is not touring or doing events, so this is a rare opportunity.

“The discussion will be hosted by our very own Leigh Higgins and there will be time for questions from the audience, so if you have anything you’d like to ask Pip, this is your chance.”

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said that the event was an excellent example of what’s possible following the construction of the new Library and Learning Hub.

“Events like this make our library a real gathering place,” he said.

“Speaking directly with an author like Pip Williams is the kind of opportunity you’d usually need to travel to a much larger city for, so being able to do it in Warrnambool, alongside fellow south west readers, is something for library members to get very excited about.

“Since the redevelopment, we’ve been able to host a lot more events and programs and it’s great to see so many people taking part.”

The event will run from 1pm-2pm and includes light refreshments. It’s free to attend, but places are limited.

Tenders called for pool and fitness centre

TENDERS are now being invited for the management and operation of the Port Fairy community pool and fitness centre for up to the next nine years.

The current lease to Belfast Aquatics (BA) ends on November 30, 2025.

BA is a community organisation that has operated the pool and fitness centre in Port Fairy since it opened in 2007.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said the BA committee of management had “much to be proud of” with regards to running the facility for and on behalf of the community, and council acknowledged its many outstanding volunteer contributions.

“Council will keep the community informed about what’s happening with the Port Fairy facility as we know there is a lot of interest in this,” Cr Foster said.

“In 2024-25, Moyne Shire Council provided $290,000 in financial support to BA.

“Consequently, we have an obligation to all Moyne Shire ratepayers to ensure

responsible use of council funds into the future.”

Cr Foster said the council would now undertake a fair and transparent process to ensure the successful operator had a sustainable and robust business model in place that can provide confidence to both the council and the Moyne community.

“Our hope is to ensure the ongoing operation of the centre through this tender process,” Cr Foster said.

“The decision on the future management of the centre will be made by councillors at an Ordinary Council Meeting based on the outcome of the tender process.

“Council looks forward to receiving tender submissions by noon on September 9, 2025.”

Tender documents are on council’s e-tender portal at https://moyne. etenderbox.com.au.

Critical funding for bridge works

PORT Fairy’s Gipps Street bridge looks set to be replaced thanks to a $5 million funding boost from the federal government.

Locals and visitors to the town have long raised safety concerns about the bridge, and have eagerly awaited funding news for its replacement.

During a visit to the town last Friday afternoon, Senator Raff Ciccone announced that $5 million in critical infrastructure funding would be allocated for the design and upgrade of the bridge.

The project, which will be delivered by Moyne Shire Council, includes the replacement of the two-lane road bridge over the Moyne River which is “at the end of its service life.”

“This will preserve community, recreational and commercial links, improve road and vulnerable road user safety, and boost productivity via the removal of a load limit,” Senator Ciccone said.

“This is one of 23 projects in regional and rural Australia to receive funding through the Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program (SLRIP); an initiative of the federal government designed to increase productivity, and make local roads and bridges safer and more resilient.”

Nation-wide these projects will share in more than $63 million for life-saving upgrades including treatments such as widening and sealing roads for heavy vehicle access, replacing and/or strengthening bridges and causeways, and upgrading roads to improve flood resilience.

Speaking in relation to the Gipps Street bridge project, the minister said he believes it would have a lasting impact on the Port Fairy community and the thousands of tourists who flock to the area each year.

“This funding commitment will not only support the much-needed replacement of the Gipps Street bridge, it will also (in turn) improve safety and reliability for both vehicles and pedestrians,” he said.

Funding has been allocated for the much-needed replacement of

the Gipps Street bridge at Port Fairy.

West students celebrate 100 days

FOUNDATION and year one students celebrated 100 days of education at Warrnambool West Primary School last week.

The special ‘100 days celebration’ saw children dress as if they were 100 years old on Friday.

School principal Karen Holdsworth presented the students with a special certificate and a cake was also enjoyed.

Throughout the day students enjoyed a range of activities, including bubble blowing, pass-the-parcel, musical chairs, crown making and smarties for being ‘100 days smarter.’

The children also wrote about what they thought they would be doing when they are 100 years old.

“The students had so much fun,” foundation/one teacher Renae Blake said.

“We are extremely grateful to all parents for supporting the day; my favourite thing was reading the students’ writing about when they are 100 and what they will be doing.

“There were many rich old ladies and men with no teeth, taking long naps.

“It’s important for our school to recognise this day, not just for the fun but to acknowledge the academic and social growth that these students have shown in their first 100 days of education – we are super proud of them all.”

Leaning on his cane, Iluka was happy to dress up and celebrate 100 days of education.

Gallery launches first national tour

IN a major milestone, the Warrnambool Art Gallery has launched its first ever nationally touring exhibition under the directorship of Aaron Bradbrook.

Curated by the gallery and touring with NETS Victoria, ‘Kait James: Red Flags’ opened this month at Ararat Gallery TAMA before heading to Wangaratta, Orange, Tamworth, Adelaide and Hobart.

The exhibition premiered at the Warrnambool Art Gallery in October 2024 and sees Wadawurrung artist Kait James combine autobiography, incisive analysis and wry humour in the re-appropriation of culturally insensitive, mass-produced souvenirs from the 1950s to the 1980s.

At the same time, the gallery has also loaned one of its most important and highly-valued works to the University of Melbourne’s Potter Museum of Art for its flagship exhibition following a $14 million redevelopment.

Minjah in the Old Time, painted in 1856 by Robert Dowling, features prominently in the 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art exhibition.

Warrnambool Art Gallery director Aaron Bradbrook said the exhibitions were important contributions to First Nations truth-telling, and both demonstrate how the gallery can engage meaningfully on the national stage.

“Both exhibitions occurring simultaneously highlights the value of what we’re doing with our contemporary program and what we’re doing with our collection,” Mr Bradbrook said.

“From my understanding, Red Flags is the first national touring exhibition that the Warrnambool Art Gallery has ever had.

“Other institutions are taking notice and they want to bring the content that we are curating to their venues and to their audiences.

“It shows what we can achieve when we have works from the 19th century through to the 21st century currently exhibiting around the country.”

Mr Bradbrook said that both opportunities reflected the gallery’s dual role of honouring its historical collection while engaging with the evolving themes and messages of contemporary art.

exhibits coordinator

“When Minjah in the Old Time was acquired in the 19th century, it was a contemporary work and over time, it’s become a much-loved favourite,” he said.

“Supporting contemporary art today is part of that same tradition we have as a public institution, where we acquire works of art for present and for future audiences, both locally but also nationally and internationally.

“Red Flags is Kait’s first solo exhibition outside of Victoria, so it’s a momentous part of her career that we are honoured to be a part of.

“It’s also great for the gallery and for Warrnambool as a city, where we are building momentum and significantly increasing our national exposure.

“That’s part of our strategic plan, to look at innovative partnerships across national and international platforms

to build the brand and reinforce Warrnambool’s position as an innovative cultural destination.”

‘Kait James: Red Flags’ is a Warrnambool Art Gallery exhibition, curated by Aaron Bradbrook and touring nationally with NETS Victoria.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and the Visions of Australia program, and has received development assistance from NETS Victoria’s Exhibition Development Fund, supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

Machete amnesty starts next month

PEOPLE in possession of a machete are being encouraged to hand them in at the Warrnambool Police Station.

Victorian premier Janita Allen last Thursday announced that a machete amnesty would run from September 1 to November 30.

Safe disposal bins will be installed at select police stations across metropolitan and regional Victoria, including at Warrnambool.

People can hand their machetes in at the station during the amnesty period, with no penalties imposed during that time.

This is the first time a machete amnesty has been declared in the state.

The Warrnambool police station is located in Koroit Street.

Life Saving Club tops the state

WARRNAMBOOL Surf Life Saving Club has taken out the prestigious state-wide ‘Club of the Year’ award.

Volunteer lifesavers from across Victoria gathered at the Sofitel Grand Ballroom in Melbourne last weekend to celebrate Life

Saving Victoria’s annual Awards of Excellence.

More than 500 people attended the event, which recognised the outstanding achievements of those who keep the Victorian community safe in the water.

The awards recognise LSV volunteers who have excelled in all faces of lifesaving including

Great scores for round two

THE Cally was the place to be for high-quality dart throwing last Thursday, with all three of the night’s 180 scores thrown at that venue.

Round two of the Warrnambool Darts spring season produced some great scores, with games held at City Memorial Bowls Club, the Cally Hotel, Macey’s Hotel and Panmure Hotel.

The Cally saw all three 180 scores thrown there – with Brendan Jackway bagging himself two 180s and Mandy Newell becoming the first lady to throw a 180 this season.

The night also saw three players win their games in 21 darts or less.

The Fill Ins defeated Monday Nighters 9-6, Panmure Bulldogs defeated the Cally Wizards 10-5, Mixed Nuts defeated Mad Mac’s 9-6 and Vikings defeated City Slickers 10-5.

Fire Night this weekend

RUG up and take your family and friends along to Flagstaff Hill this Saturday night for the always-popular ‘Fire Night’ event.

The evening, which will run from 5pm-9pm, will kick off with a bang (literally) when the rarely used swivel gun, known fittingly as ‘Thunderchild’ will be fired at dusk in the wharf precinct.

Thunderchild is a 19th century swivel gun manufactured in Torquay, Victoria.

Swivel guns are small cannons (Thunderchild is just 64cm long) that were usually mounted on a swivelling stand to allow for a wide arc of movement.

As well as being used as short-ranged antipersonnel weapons in sea battles, swivel guns also had peaceful uses.

They were used for signaling purposes and for firing salutes.

They also found uses in whaling, where bowmounted swivel guns were used to fire harpoons,

and fowling, where swivel guns mounted on punts were used to shoot flocks of waterfowl.

Now in its third year, Fire Night encourages everyone to rug up and embrace the positives of the cooler months, including earlier sunsets, comfort food and warm fires.

This Saturday night’s event will also feature an array of food trucks, live music, and firepits perfect for toasting marshmallows.

All admission tickets to Fire Night are just $5 and there will be no free Local Ambassador tickets.

This weekend (August 16-17) will also see ‘International Lighthouse Weekend’ celebrated at Flagstaff Hill.

There will be a range of special activities planned, including the Warrnambool Men’s Shed Radio Group’s live broadcast from the Lady Bay Upper Lighthouse, joining over 400 lighthouse-based stations across the globe.

Entry to International Lighthouse Weekend is free for Local Ambassadors.

A moving tribute to babies lost

MICHELLE and Tim McCranor have been riding the roller coast of grief since 2001 when their daughter Celeste was stillborn.

Like so many others, they had no idea what stillbirth was until it happened to them.

Michelle is extremely passionate about helping to reduce the stillbirth statistics so that other families don’t have to suffer the lifelong devastation that her family has.

And she intends to do this the only way she knows how – running and sharing her story.

In November last year Michelle set out to run 1,000 kilometres from Seacliff in Adelaide to Port Melbourne.

Her journey took in communities such as Meningie, Kingston, Mt Gambier, Portland and Warrnambool.

She raised over $100,000 for Stillbirth Foundation Australia to further support research and advocacy into preventable measures for stillbirth.

But just as important, she also created a great deal of awareness around stillbirth.

Through sharing her personal story, she shone a light on this tragedy and not only gave a voice to all the babies that were born sleeping, but provided a platform for other bereaved families to share their stories.

Unfortunately, the run ended at Warrnambool due to injury.

“Every step I took was for Celeste and every baby who never took a breath,” Michelle said.

“Stopping the run didn’t stop the work.”

Michelle and Tim have created a moving documentary titled ‘Her Name is Celeste.’

This film shares the heartbreaking and courageous story of their daughter’s stillbirth and Michelle’s mission to run from Adelaide to Port Melbourne.

This documentary blends lived experience, expert voices, and a passionate call for systemic change in how we acknowledge, talk about, and act on stillbirth in Australia – an issue that still claims six babies’ lives every day across the country.

“As with every best laid plan, Michelle and Tim experienced some challenges along their journey which led them to a unique relationship with Warrnambool and the community within,” co-founder of Wish Collective, Sarah Wallace said.

“Sadly, stillbirth is something that has, and continues to, affect so many families.”

Nine months after Michelle’s run, she will return to Warrnambool where her journey ended abruptly due to an ankle injury.

“Locals have the opportunity to view a special regional screening of Her Name is Celeste at the Capitol Cinema in Warrnambool next Wednesday, August 20 from 6pm.”

Council strategy to support local businesses

MOYNE Shire Council’s successful 2019-2024 Economic Development Strategy (EDS) has highlighted its commitment to support local businesses and grow the local economy.

Highlights from the 2019-2024 EDS include the establishment of the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC), a group of local business representatives that provide strategic guidance to council on economic priorities and investment attraction.

A Business Adaptation Service was also created, connecting local businesses with expert advisors.

Moyne’s Business Façade Improvement program was introduced, delivering improved shopfronts and commercial streetscapes through its townships.

“There are many highlights from council’s EDS,” mayor Cr Karen Foster said.

“The Love Local Awards celebrate local businesses as voted by the community and encourage local spending; key worker housing projects in Koroit and Mortlake caravan parks saw five cabins in each location installed for essential workers; and Commerce Moyne was established.”

Also as a result of the economic development strategy, a Work and Play campaign provided subsidised accommodation to summer hospitality workers, which helped businesses attract staff for the busy summer period.

Other benefits to come from the strategy include:

The Make it Work initiative which provides discounted caravan park site fees to nomadic workers who gain work locally;

Economic growth figures, based on the gross revenue generated by all businesses and organisations in Moyne Shire, showed real growth of 23 per cent from 2019 (2.88 billion) to 2024 (3.54 billion), an extra $660 million.

The delivery of EDS actions has supported Moyne’s economic growth and facilitated Moyne’s recovery from the pandemic.

At its July 2025 meeting, council endorsed its new 2025-2029 Economic Development Strategy action plan that aligns with current economic conditions and emerging opportunities.

The new EDS is informed by independent research and analysis, as well as consultation with industry representatives, local businesses, residents, council and government stakeholders.

Mayor Cr Karen Foster said respondents emphasised the need for sustainable tourism, better transport and healthcare access, and efficient energy systems.

“Striking a balance between economic development and the wellbeing of both the environment and community was a key priority,” Cr Foster said.

“The new EDS has identified 47 projects to guide council in continuing Moyne Shire’s economic growth, that fall under five key themes,” she said.

The five themes are as follows:

Theme 1: A leading food and fibre industry – to increase the competitiveness of food production and processing.

Theme 2: Strategic and targeted investment attraction – to support major infrastructure and business investment opportunities to achieve economic growth outcomes.

Theme 3: A prosperous, engaged and skilled community – to establish Moyne Shire as a destination of choice for residents and workers, through provision of local services, affordable housing, infrastructure, transport and workplace support.

Theme 4: An innovative and dynamic business base – to build business capacity to support the development and growth of

local businesses.

Theme 5: A high-value visitor economy – to foster the growth of the Moyne visitor economy through unique and leading experiences that attract a range of target markets.

“We look forward to reporting annually on the progress of the new EDS,” Cr Foster said.

Warrnambool paramedics top the state

PARAMEDICS across the City of Warrnambool have recorded the best response times to Code 1 patients in the state.

Figures released last week showed that in the Warrnambool LGA, paramedics attended 84.1 per cent of Code 1 patients within 15 minutes - which was the best result in Victoria.

Ambulance Victoria (AV) has applauded residents across the state for saving ambulances for the state’s sickest people, with new data showing paramedics are responding 10 seconds faster to the most critically ill.

AV acting executive director regional operations Michael Georgiou said demand for ‘lights and sirens’ ambulances fell by 3.5 per cent between April and June, compared with the same time last year, coinciding with an AV community information campaign to save paramedics for emergencies.

“April to June last year was AV’s busiest three months on record – with 102,419 Code 1 emergencies,” Mr Georgiou said.

“Across the same period this year, we’ve responded to 98,874 Code 1 cases.

“I thank our highly skilled paramedics and first responders who do a remarkable job providing best care to their communities, each and every day.

“We’re grateful to Victorians who are choosing to use alternative care for nonurgent issues — it means ambulances are available faster for emergencies. That community effort is helping us save lives.”

From April to June 2025, the statewide average response time to Code 1 emergencies was 15 minutes and 27 seconds – down from 15 minutes and 37 seconds a year ago.

“There has also been an improvement in the percentage of Code 1 cases responded to within 15 minutes,” Mr Georgiou said.

During this quarter, AV crews across Victoria responded to 65.3 per cent of Code 1 cases within the state-wide target of 15 minutes, up from 64.2 per cent a year ago.

In the Barwon South West Region crews responded to 7,323 Code 1 cases between April and June 2025, down from 7,559 last year, but up from 7,185 three months ago.

Compared with the same time last year, performance improved in 53 Local Government Areas (LGAs).

The biggest improvements in the Barwon South West Region were in the Glenelg LGA and the major population centre of Lara.

AV is urging people not to be complacent, with demand for emergency ambulances climbing again as winter illnesses spread through the community.

“We’ve already seen a 3.7 per cent jump in Code 1 demand since the first three months of 2025,” Barwon South West regional director Stuart Reid said.

“Winter is always our busiest time. Our paramedics are focused on reaching the sickest patients first but every day, more than 500 calls to Triple Zero (000) don’t need an emergency ambulance.

“There are many options people can access when they need timely medical care and health advice but don’t need an emergency ambulance, including the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department and Urgent Care Clinics.”

Life Saving Victoria appoints new manager

LIFE Saving Victoria (LSV) has appointed Simon Rickard as its new general manager (member engagement and sport).

Simon brings more than 25 years of experience working with and for volunteers, members, and community led organisations.

Throughout his career, he has championed the vital role of volunteers and grassroots involvement and has built a reputation as a leader who places people at the heart of everything he does.

A passionate advocate for member development, Simon has led large-scale programs focused on volunteer engagement, youth leadership, community participation, and club capability building.

His work has consistently delivered improved outcomes for members, from training and mentoring future leaders to strengthening club culture and connection.

“Simon brings deep expertise in creating environments where volunteers feel valued, supported, and empowered to lead,” said LSV chief executive Catherine Greaves.

“His strong alignment with our purpose to save lives and empower communities to safely enjoy water makes him an ideal fit for this important role.”

Simon also holds executive roles in community sporting clubs, giving him hands-on understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing member-based organisations.

This, combined with his background as a scuba instructor and lifelong passion for water-based activities, brings a strong connection to LSV’s aquatic sport and participation programs.

Widely respected for his collaborative leadership style,

a vital role by connecting people with the right care and freeing up ambulances for life-threatening emergencies.

Between April and June alone, they redirected 46,015 non-urgent cases away from an emergency response.

Ambulance Victoria is working closely with hospitals, emergency services and government partners to keep ambulances on the road and patients moving through the system.

“The new Standards for Safe and Timely Ambulance and Emergency Care are already making a difference,” Mr Reid said.

“They’re improving patient flow in hospitals and helping our crews get back on the road sooner.

“We’re grateful to our hospital partners for their efforts; it’s helping us reach more patients, faster.

“Since June, 117 new graduate paramedics have joined the frontline across Victoria. And earlier this year, the largestever single intake of 30 Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) intern paramedics hit the road, delivering a major boost to critical care statewide.”

Simon is known for building high performing, communityfocused teams.

His work has been recognised through national honours including the Australian Emergency Services Medal and the Red Cross Distinguished Service Award, both acknowledgements of his significant service to volunteers and the broader community.

ELEVEN groups across Wannon will share in more than $105,000 of funding, announced last week by Member for Wannon Dan Tehan.

Of the groups to be successful, the Warrnambool Model Railway Club will receive $13,000, Nirranda Football Netball Club $10,000 and the Southern 500 Speedway club Inc. $9,400.

In announcing the grants last Friday, Mr Tehan said the money would enable the groups to undertake a range of projects to build community engagement and participation.

“It has been a pleasure for me to work with these organisations through the project assessment process which involved working with an independent local panel,” Mr Tehan said.

“I have been able to see firsthand the diverse needs and innovative ideas within our communities, ensuring every dollar spent has maximum local impact.”

Mr Tehan believes these grassroots clubs and organisations will deliver practical improvements, ranging from facility upgrades and equipment purchases to community infrastructure enhancements that significantly benefit local residents.

“Local community groups are the heart and soul of our regional towns, suburbs and communities,” Mr Tehan said.

“Their dedication and tireless efforts improve our social fabric, enhance our local amenities and foster community spirit. I thank them for their efforts.”

Simon Rickard has been appointed general manager of LSV

YOUR LOCAL PAPER ~ locally owned, locally printed ~

AS families and businesses across the western district battle the financial implications and flow-on effects of drought, and our farming communities struggle to find feed for stock, we too are working hard to ensure our doors stay open – and your news stays local.

For more than 150 years Western District Newspapers (publishes of the Warrnambool Weekly, along with Western District Farmer, Cobden Timboon Coast Times, Camperdown Chronicle, Terang Express and the Mortlake Dispatch) has been at the forefront of providing news as it happens.

News that matters to you, our local readers.

We also take great pride in the fact that Western District Newspapers is the only company in the western district that continues to print our publications on-site – from our head office in Camperdown.

But like others trying to run a business through these challenging times, we too cannot continue to do this without support.

Our business is owned by locals, managed by locals and all our staff are local.

Advertising – large and small – is our lifeline.

The significance of placing a classified notice for our family and friends, both in times of celebration and times of grief, should not be undervalued.

Whether that be a birth notice, anniversary, wedding, engagement or the passing of a friend or loved one, your local print media provides an opportunity for you to celebrate or pay special recognition.

And while the varying forms of social media – from Facebook to Instagram – can provide instant updates, these posts are not held for years to come.

Nor does this support your local paper.

For over a century WD News has supported local events and provided pictorial and editorial coverage of local sporting clubs, charity organisations, community festivals, galas, presentation nights, school celebrations......the list is endless.

Since the onset of COVID-19 we watched as local businesses struggled to survive. Now we watch proudly as we see them return to life, grateful for each and every customer who continues to support local.

For some, sadly, their doors were closed and will never re-open.

We are well aware of the financial and personal hardships many across

our district have faced and continue to do so – we too have been affected in many ways.

As such, we are grateful for the support of those businesses who have remained loyal to us and have advertised where and when they can. It is through such advertising that we have been able to remain viable through these unstable times.

We are also grateful to you, our readers, who have continued to support the Warrnambool Weekly since its inception in March, 2023.

The Weekly is fast earning a reputation across the district and beyond for bringing to the forefront local news, local achievements, local events and local issues that are the very heart of the communities in which we cover.

We take great pride in the paper we produce each week and welcome input and feedback.

We encourage everyone to support those who advertise with us as they too help ensure the future viability of this free publication.

For this, and so much more, we thank you all.

Port Fairy skate and

PORT Fairy’s long-awaited skate and play space has been officially opened.

Community members turned out in high numbers last Friday afternoon to mark the official opening of what has been a long-awaited community project.

Federal Senator Raff Ciccone enjoyed a tour of the new facility and was joined by Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster and Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora for official proceedings.

“The new skate and play precinct isn’t just an invement in infrastructure, it’s an investment in the health, wellbeing and future of the Port Fairy community,”

Senator Ciccone said.

“The government is proud to deliver a safe and inclusive outdoor space where families can play, skaters can test their skills and everyone can enjoy the benefits of fresh air and active living.”

“It’s very exciting to finally let everyone enjoy their new community gathering and recreation space,” she said.

“It’s been a big undertaking to complete this project, with a complex sit and a lot of associated works right along Campbell Street.

“Council’s project management office (PMO) has done a great job, overseeing and collaborating with construction partner Convic, private and council work crews, local residents, community groups, utilities and more.

“The PMO worked with the organisers of the popular Port Fairy Parkrun to ensure their altered course would still meet global Parkrun requirements.”

The new park includes an outdoor fitness area, 40m inclusive flying fox, half court with basketball ring and soccer goal, a covered barbecue and seating area, open lawn areas and a toilet block.

Ms Ermacora echoed the minister’s thoughts, saying she believed the area would be a great asset not only for the people of Port Fairy, but those who visited the town.

“Open and accessible for everyone, this will become a destination and gathering place for so many people to enjoy,” she said.

Moyne mayor Cr Karen Foster said there had been an incredible sense of anticipation in the community for the new facility, with constant calls from parents and children eager to know when the play space would open.

The area also encompasses a fenced playground with three-tier slide tower, in-ground trampolines, climbing frames and more.

The skatepark itself includes a mix of street features along with a beginnerintermediate bowl.

A new car park has also been established on James Street (accessible via a raised ‘wombat’ crossing).

Built at a cost of $3.09 million, including works on surrounding roads and carparks, the precinct was achieved with funding support from the federal government, Sport and Recreation Victoria, Moyne Shire Council and the Transport Accident Commission.

Large crowds gathered for the official opening last Friday afternoon.

Finals for indoor bowlers

IT was a busy week of indoor bowls in Warrnambool, with the preliminary finals last Friday night and the grand finals of the Warrnambool 2025 winter season played on Monday night. In division one, the Port Fairy Seagulls have emerged with the premiership.

The Rodney Wilson skipped Seagulls only made the final four by winning the last end of the regular season to snatch fourth spot.

A comfortable win over Allen Armistead’s Wannon Park Dogs in the first semi was followed by victory over George Draffen’s Allansford Cats by six shots in the preliminary.

A gripping grand final saw Port Fairy come from four shots down with four ends to play to go into the last end with scores tied.

Dashers in the preliminary final. Play in the grand final was very close, with only one shot separating the teams after 12 of the 18 ends.

The 13th end proved decisive, with Allansford picking up five shots to open up a six-shot lead.

Grangeburn set up some opportunities in the last few ends but some great bowls by Allansford, particularly by skip Doug Byron, shut down their chances and led to a Panthers victory.

Division three action was also a close grand final.

Gerard Noonan’s Camperdown Magpies won their way through the prelim final with a crushing victory over John Keane’s Koroit Choppers.

This set up a grand final clash with Neville Blackmore’s Dennington Aces.

Camperdown led by five shots at the halfway point of the final, but were two shots down after 13 ends.

Despite Allansford Lions’ skipper Ian Swain rattling through the head with his last bowl, Port Fairy was able to snag a two-shot victory.

The division two grand final was a repeat of the second semi-final, and also of the last round of regular season play, with Doug Byron’s Allansford Panthers doing battle with Grangeburn, skipped by Rylan Pech.

Grangeburn had bounced back from its second semi-final defeat to trounce Brendan Johnstone’s Dennington

They rallied again to win the last five ends of the match and win the flag 2215.

Camperdown, like Port Fairy, had to work hard to make the finals.

After five rounds of the season Camperdown was at the bottom of the ladder with one win before striking form to win seven of their last nine games, plus three finals.

Grand final awaits young Wolves

IN the inaugural year of Football Southwest’s junior female football division, the Warrnambool Wolves under 14 girls have had a stellar season.

The team celebrated 10 wins from 11 matches.

Going into the final round of the 2025 season with an untouchable three-game clearance (and 48 goal difference) the team will now play a semi-final.

Team coach Melissa Condo attributes the team’s first year dominance to a well-disciplined defensive structure and a full-pitch press – with most scores the result of attacking as a team, rather than breakaway efforts.

“I’m proud of so many aspects of the way this team plays; our defensive line is consistent, focussed and reliable,” she said.

“Our midfield players have been utterly formidable with defensive trapping and slowing the ball down while our forward pressure has been immense.”

Almost every player in the team has scored during the season, illustrating the group-attacking style.

“It’s been so encouraging to see our girls playing out of defence, sometimes down lines, sometimes through the centre corridor, drawing defence and then creating angled passes, and offensive pushes that usually have 2-3 players involved,” Condo said.

“A big part of our scoring success this season is having multiple attackers in each effort.

“It’s hard to defend, and it places goalkeepers under huge pressure because on any given day, any one of our girls can score.”

Condo also praised the efforts of Jeppesen and Francis.

“It helps having players like those two who can score from distance, as well as others like Wicks who can grind their way through a defensive wall to either score themselves or assist to other forwards like Vu, Nield, Cabugao, Edwards, and McCulloch.”

Condo also applauded the discipline of her defensive players, keeper McGoldrick, Daffy, Smith, McLaurin and Morden.

“These girls are so motivated to achieve something truly special this season,” Condo said.

“Our attendances at training are high, which is hugely rewarding as a coach, and our fitness has really stood out. We have a big, full squad and the girls are so positive to each other.

“We’ve tried to keep our matches fun, but our training serious, and the improvement and tenacity these girls have is really evident as the grand final gets closer.”

Next year the Warrnambool Wolves hopes to field an under 15 and under 12/13 girls teams, and invites inquiries for next season from interested players.

World-class umpires for Hampden Open final

TOP Australian netball umpire Michelle Phippard will officiate at this year’s Hampden League Open netball grand final.

Michelle will be joined by another headline name in the umpiring ranks, Kate Mancini, making for a highly credentialed and respected officiating duo.

Michelle is a world-renowned umpire, having officiated more than 100 international matches, including at four Commonwealth Games and four Netball World Cups. Her appointment marks a significant moment for the Hampden Football Netball League, bringing elite-level officiating to one of the region’s most prestigious netball events.

Kate Mancini is a highly regarded A-badge state umpire, known for her consistency and strong leadership on court. Her experience and professionalism will be invaluable in the premier match of the season.

Hampden League’s head of netball, Dot Jenkins, said the appointments were a major coup for the league.

“To have someone of Michelle’s international standing, along with Kate’s expertise, is an incredible endorsement of our competition,” Dot said.

“It’s a rare and exciting opportunity for our league to host umpires of this calibre.

“Our players, spectators and aspiring umpires will witness the very best in action.”

The 2025 Hampden Football Netball League Open netball grand final will be held on Friday, September 26.

Blackley wins at East Fram

Premiers

SOUTH Warrnambool’s All Abilities footballers have won back-to-back FIDA Western Conference premiership flags.

Listed among the best players were Fred Knowles, Dylan Lau, Luke Byrne, Drew Miller and Benito Phillips-Triolo.

Upset win in A grade table tennis

THE latest round of Orford and District Table Tennis saw an upset win in the A grade competition.

Warrnambool Warriors can’t remember when they last defeated Vikings, if ever.

In B grade the second semi-final was a close result, with the winner securing the points by the smallest of margins.

In finals, once a team wins six rubbers play stops.

The preliminary finals of both grades will be played at the Orford hall next week.

A grade:

Second semi-final - Warrnambool Warriors defeated Warrnambool Vikings 7.21-4.13.

Neil Ford and Peter Owen won their three rubbers for the Warriors in the absence of a third player, David Cranwell, who was injured.

Neil started the night defeating Chad Ryan 11-5, 11-7, 4-11, 7-11 and 11-6.

Peter then defeated Dom Angarano 11-6, 11-6, 10-12 and 11-5.

Neil and Peter combined in the doubles

to defeat Dom and Gilles Gunderman 11-5, 8-11, 11-9 and 11-5.

First semi-final – Attunga defeated Koroit 6.20-4.13.

Attunga came out strong with Val, Kelly and Ian Wortley – Ian not needing to play the last rubber as they had won.

Ian won his rubber, defeating David Rowbottom 12-10, 14-12 and 12-10.

Val defeated David 11-2, 2-10, 10-12 and 11-2.

David played all three extended rubbers, teaming with Fergus to defeat Ian and Kelly 11-6, 8-11, 12-10 and 11-6.

Both Val and Kelly won two rubbers each for Attunga while Fergus Monsborough won his three rubbers for Koroit.

Preliminary final – Warrnambool Vikings v Attunga.

Both these teams have had a win each for the season.

Attunga have had a good winning streak coming into the final since defeating Warrnambool Vikings in round nine.

Attunga also has the opportunity to play Ian Wortley alongside Val and Kelly Wortley, which would make them a strong combination.

Vikings have played a consistent combination for much of the season, having finished higher may have a slight advantage in this match – but don’t write Attunga off.

B grade:

Second semi-final – Myndarra defeated Tarrone 6.18.305-5.18.287.

The closeness of the night is reflected in the scores, with both teams winning 18 games, Myndarra gaining the win via the extra rubber won.

Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers while Ally Rowbottom won a close rubber against Tarrone’s Steve Young 11-9, 12-10 and 13-11.

Aaron played in both of the night’s extended rubbers, defeating David Warhurst 11-4, 11-9, 9-11 and 11-7.

He then teamed with Jensen Rowbottom to defeat David and Steven 11-4, 6-11, 11-3

and 11-7.

David and Andrea Drendel won two rubbers each for Tarrone.

First semi-final – Orford defeated Glengleeson 7.19-4.12.

Orford’s Russell Hussey won his three rubbers, supported by Jadden Clap (who won two).

Orford also won the doubles.

Best for Glengleeson was Garet Spring with two rubbers.

Though only two rubbers were extended, several games were long.

Russell defeated Gareth 11-4, 13-11 and 14-12.

Gareth defeated Jadden 6-11, 11-6, 11-9 and 11-3.

Jadden defeated Lindsay Morton 10-12, 11-7, 11-4, 10-12 and 11-7 – the only five game rubber of the night.

Preliminary final – Tarrone v Orford. Tarrone’s combination of David Warhurst and Andrew Drendel may prove too strong for Orford who finished lower this season.
