We need transparency
ON behalf of the CFA Volunteers Group (CFAVG), we are calling for urgent transparency around the new Emergency Services Volunteer Rebate (ESVF).
The government claims that 55,126 CFA and VICSES volunteers are “covered” by the scheme, yet provides no explanation of how this figure was reached.
CFA’s own reporting lists more than 50,000 CFA volunteers alone, but there is no public data showing how many actually meet the rebate’s strict criteria or how many are being ruled ineligible. Volunteers across the state are
already reporting rejections without clear reasons, including long-serving members caught out by administrative or technical issues.
A scheme intended to recognise service should not become a source of confusion or inequity.
We call on the government to release full eligibility and rejection statistics and improve verification and appeals processes.
Volunteers deserve clarity, fairness, and respect - not uncertainty.

Residents deeply saddened by pool closure
THE Belfast Aquatics Committee of Management has confirmed the permanent closure of the Port Fairy Community Pool.
In a statement released late last week, the committee members said they were “deeply saddened” by the closure, which was an “immensely painful moment” for the town, pool members, staff, volunteers and every person who had ever swan, learned, laughed, recovered or found belonging within the walls of Belfast Aquatics.
For more than 20 years, this pool has been stewarded by local volunteers.
“The committee has been proud to carry that responsibility on behalf of the community, dedicating countless hours because we believed in what this place represents: health, safety, connection, and opportunity for people of all ages and abilities,” the statement read.
“As a volunteer committee, we have always acknowledged our limitations, particularly when it comes to major maintenance and long-term capital works.
“We have worked tirelessly with the resources available to us, but the structural and financial challenges now identified are well beyond the capacity of volunteers alone to resolve.”
Recent building and plant inspections revealed significant financial implications, with required works estimated to exceed $2 million.
“This scale of investment required is devastating and, ultimately, insurmountable under the current circumstances,” the committee said.
“Despite this heartbreak, we remain determined and hopeful. We continue to hold faith that future funding pathways may emerge - through government, grants, philanthropy or broad community advocacy.
“Port Fairy has always been a community of problem-solvers and champions, and we know people will rally once again to explore
every possible avenue to bring an aquatic facility back to our town. Our hope is not lost, and neither is our commitment.”
The committee also acknowledged that the community had fought for this facility before and it was determined to fight again.
The group extended its deepest gratitude to the facility’s staff and volunteers, past and present, whose dedication had kept the facility operating for nearly two decades.
It also acknowledged Moyne Shire Council for the financial support it had provided over the years.
“We also want to recognise something bigger than our own loss alone. Across Australia, community-run and council-run aquatic facilities face enormous financial pressure,” committee members said.
“Pools rarely make a profit, in fact, they operate at significant loss, yet they deliver immense public value. They save lives through essential learn-to-swim programs.
“They save millions in healthcare costs through rehabilitation and preventative health. They support physical wellbeing,
social connection and community resilience.
“This is not just a Belfast Aquatics issue; it’s a challenge faced by communities everywhere. Locally, we do worry about the future of the other aquatic facilities across Moyne Shire.”
The group believes council’s asset budgets seem to be severely underfunded, and without significant long-term investment, it fears fear more closures could follow.
“Our community deserves more certainty than this. We thank everyone for their support, compassion and strength during this heartbreaking time.
“As the Moyne Aquatic Facilities Strategy progresses, we will continue to advocate for a strong, accessible and sustainable aquatic future for Port Fairy and for the wider region. We stand ready to contribute our experience, our knowledge and our unwavering belief that aquatic facilities are essential public infrastructure - not optional extras.”
Moyne Shire Council said the lease for the centre expired on November 30 and council
did not have any plans for the facility to continue operating after that date.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said council acknowledged the impact this decision would have on the community and the disappointment felt by many residents who have valued this facility for years.
“We understand this is a difficult time and share in the community’s sense of loss,” Cr Lockett said.
“The Belfast Aquatics committee of management has much to be proud of building and running the facility for and on behalf of the community and council acknowledges its many outstanding volunteer contributions over many years.
“Council is developing the Moyne Aquatic Facilities Strategy to inform future investment and service provision in community pools and to deliver facilities that provide longterm value and are responsive to the diverse needs of our community.”
The strategy is expected to come before council by June 2026.
Show you care this Christmas
GATEWAY Plaza shoppers are once again showing their generosity, with donations of Christmas gifts growing on a daily basis.
The plaza is currently welcoming donations for the Mackillop Family Service’s annual Christmas appeal – helping to make Christmas that little brighter for children in foster care.
“Gifts will be accepted right up until next Friday, December 12 so hopefully this pile will continue to grow in the coming days,” the plaza’s Sarah Porter said.
“Every year I am amazed and inspired by the generosity of our community.
“Last year just over 350 presents were distributed to foster families across Warrnambool and we’re hoping even more will be distributed this year.”
Anyone wishing to donate a gift can simply visit the Christmas tree at Gateway, chose a tag from the tree and place it on a new gift.
These gifts can then be left at centre management, ready for collection by the team from Mackillop Family Services.
“This is one way we can all show our support for foster families and children in care, and bring some festive cheer. We welcome donations of gifts for children from birth through to 17 yearolds.”
Nominations now open for awards
NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2026 Moyne Community Awards, celebrating the people and events that make Moyne a great place to live.
Each year, the awards recognise outstanding contributions to the community, with nominations sought for Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year and Community Event of the Year.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett encouraged residents to get involved and nominate someone who makes a difference.
“There are people in every town and district of Moyne who go the extra mile; whether it’s volunteering at the local hall, coaching a junior team, organising a fundraiser, or helping a neighbour,” Cr Lockett said.
“These awards are a chance
to celebrate those people and the events that bring us together, build community spirit and make Moyne such a special place to call home.”
Cr Lockett said council was looking forward to recognising the 2026 winners on Australia Day, 26 January, with details of the presentation event to be announced soon.
“We’d love to see nominations from right across the shire, from our smallest rural communities to our larger townships,” he said.
“If you know someone who deserves recognition, or if you have been to a great community event, now’s the time to shine a light on their efforts,”
Nominations will close on Sunday, December 14 and can be made online at www. moyne.vic.gov.au/awards or in person at council’s customer service centre in Port Fairy.
Aboriginal engagement continues
MOYNE Shire Council has completed the first year of its Aboriginal Engagement and Partnership Plan (AEPP).
This plan continues to strengthen relationships with Traditional Owners and embeds cultural awareness across council operations.
Adopted in June 2024, the AEPP provides a practical roadmap for respectful partnership with Aboriginal organisations and follows the Victorian Aboriginal & Local Government Strategy.
The plan commits council to regular reporting, capability building, and continuous improvement.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the first year reflects meaningful progress and council’s continuing commitment to reconciliation.
“We are listening, learning, and working alongside Traditional Owners, Aboriginal organisations and our First Nations community,” Cr Lockett said.
“This work is built on respect, trust, and shared priorities - and it’s only the beginning.”
Of the highlights over the past 12 months, council has recorded 79 engagements with First Nations stakeholders across programs, services, and events.
Key achievements included renaming Lubra Creek to Thanampool Thookay Poorang (endorsed with Elders and the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation) and the Framlingham
Emergency Services Expo (delivered in partnership with Kirrae Health, Framlingham Trust, and emergency agencies).
Over the past year council also expanded early years and maternal and child health engagement (working with Kirrae and Gunditjmara Health Services).
Among council-wide cultural capability initiatives were Treaty and Native Title briefings, cultural safety training and professional development).
Council also worked to ensure Kirrae Health input into the council child safe strategy and participated in NAIDOC celebrations, the Walk for Truth in Port Fairy, and an On Country tour with Elder Uncle Rob Lowe.
Council now plans to establish an AEPP Working Group in 2026 to strengthen internal coordination and guide ongoing implementation.
Delivery of the plan is funded through existing operational budgets, with external support sought for targeted initiatives.
A mid-term review is scheduled for 2026 to assess progress and guide future priorities.
“This work is relational, not transactional,” Cr Lockett said.
“We remain committed to learning, improving, and walking respectfully with Aboriginal communities in our shire, Wurruk.”
Gateway Plaza’s Sarah Porter is thrilled to see the pile of donated gifts continue to grow.
New leaders for Moyne
COUNCILLOR Jordan Lockett has been elected mayor of Moyne Shire Council.
Cr Lockett was elected to the position (his first term in the role) following a vote at a council meeting early last week.
He will be joined by Cr Myra Murrify as deputy mayor – with both to lead council over the next 12 months.
Cr Lockett thanked outgoing mayor Karen Foster for leading with compassion and kindness, and setting a great example for women in leadership.
The mayor also thanked his fellow councillors for their trust and support, noting this was a massive privilege and responsibility.
“I and this council group will work well as a team,” Cr Lockett said.
“We will continue to build on the strong foundations already in place and work together to make sure Moyne’s voice is
heard loud and clear.
“I’m looking forward to working with Cr Murrihy’s energy and creativity in her role as deputy mayor.”
The deputy mayor said she was looking forward to working with the mayor and council, and engaging closely with the community.
“I’m ready to work hard and excited to continue serving the people of Moyne,” Cr Murrihy said.
The mayor reaffirmed council’s commitment to advocacy at both state and federal levels.
“With a state election year ahead, our advocacy has never mattered more,” he said.
“We will focus on the big issues ahead including roads, drought recovery, fair wind farm outcomes, First Nations engagement and delivering our council plan.”

Appeal launched for interactive play panels
SOUTH West Healthcare is once again calling on the generosity of locals with its annual Christmas appeal.
The hospital is hoping this year’s appeal will raise the $16,200 needed to purchase three interactive play panels to be used by children in the Warrnambool, Portland and Camperdown Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) programs.
The panels – one of which has already been installed in the emergency department at the Warrnambool hospital – provide entertainment and a welcome distraction for
youngsters during what can be highly emotive times.
“Earlier this year we purchased an interactive play panel for our emergency department paediatric waiting room at Warrnambool, and one for our Hamilton CAMHS program, and they’ve proved to be fantastic distraction therapy for children three years-old and older,” South West Healthcare’s community partnerships manager Suzan Morey said.
And according to mental health clinicians, Molly McMeel and Sangeetha Varghese, the panels are also instrumental in making some of the service’s youngest patients feel comfortable.
The lucky winner of the raffle will take home this children’s two-seater electric buggy (which is currently on display in the foyer of the Warrnambool hospital) just in time for Christmas.
“These interactive panels are a great distraction for some of our youngest patients and visitors,” Ms McMeel said.
“They’re a lot of fun and really help keep children entertained and relaxed during what can be quite an anxious time for them.”
The play panels cost $5,400 each and it is hoped the Christmas appeal will meet its target; enabling the purchase of three additional panels.
To donate towards the appeal, and go in the lucky draw to win the two-seater electric buggy, simply head to galabid.com/southwesthealthcare
Cash boost for facade improvements
SIXTEEN businesses across Moyne Shire will share almost $40,000 in grants through council’s annual Business Facade Improvement Program.
Several businesses in Port Fairy, Allansford, Yambuk and Koroit have been announced among those to receive grants, helping operators give their shopfronts a fresh new look –and strengthening the appeal of town centres across the shire.
• Seacombe House, Port Fairy$933.80 for stonework and painting;
• Mason and Francis, Port Fairy – $1667.50 for repairs, painting, signage;

Funding was endorsed at last week’s council meeting and will see the total value of the projects (when combined with business co-contributions) amount to just over $191,000.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the program continued to play an important role in council’s commitment to supporting local business and enhancing vibrant, welcoming
streetscapes across the whole shire.
“This program helps businesses to flourish and makes our streetscapes more attractive and appealing,” Cr Lockett said.
“A well-presented shopfront attracts customers, encourages passers-by to stop in, and contributes to making our communities great places to live and work.”
Improvements supported through this latest funding round ranged from painting and signage to stonework, window upgrades, roofing repairs and street-front verandah works.
“It’s fantastic to see businesses in each of our main centres benefiting from this program,” Cr Lockett said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the works completed and the difference they will make to the appearance and feel of our streetscapes.”
One of the selection criteria was that any works were to be conducted by a contractor from within Moyne Shire.
Fishing company fined $4000 for harbour spill
A ROSEBROOK-based fishing company has received a $4070 fine from EPA Victoria for discharging liquid industrial waste into Port Fairy harbour.
EPA officers have fined Robco Fishing Company Pty Ltd over an incident last September in which the company’s trawler discharged a white, foamy liquid from a hose into the Moyne River, which flows into Port Fairy Bay and Bass Strait. EPA has been engaging with the port authority since early 2025, after receiving a number of reports of discharges from vessels causing community concern.
The fine was for unlawful deposit of prescribed waste (industrial wastewater under 50 litres) into a natural waterway.
While the fine was issued by EPA, it is one that can be issued by any litter authority in Victoria, including local councils and other land managers.
Under the Environment Protection Act 2017 and the Infringements Act 2006, the operator has the right to have the infringement notice reviewed or be considered by a court.
Members of the public can report pollution by calling EPA’s 24-hour hotline on 1300 372 842 or providing details online at epa.vic.gov.au/report-pollution/reporting-pollution.
Mental health clinicians Sangeetha Varghese and Molly McMeel have some fun with the new interactive panel recently installed in the emergency department at Warrnambool hospital.
Shave raises $6000 for cancer research
MARK Mugavin’s memory will long live on in the hearts and lives of not only his close-knit family and friends, but all who had the pleasure of meeting him.
Mark passed away on April 26 last year from Glioblastoma (brain cancer). He was just 41.
His death left a huge hole in the lives of family and friends – many of whom were in Warrnambool late last week to watch local bowler Don Price have his head shaved; all in the name of raising funds for brain cancer research.
The day proved not only a wonderful fundraiser for the organisation, but also a wonderful tribute to a man that has left behind a loving wife, two young children and a family still struggling to come to terms with loss.
“Mark had been suffering an ongoing headache for days and when he went to get checked at the hospital he was sent for a CT scan that revealed a mass on his brain.
“Two days later he had a biopsy and shortly after was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. That was just nine days before Christmas,” wife Megan said.
“We’re all still trying to find our new normal and to do our very best without Mark here; it’s certainly been very tough.”
“But we’re very lucky to be surrounded by such a wonderful family and friends. James and Sophie’s school (St Joseph’s Primary) have been wonderful too.
Megan’s father Peter Baker began a fundraising campaign for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation shortly after Mark’s death and has been deeply moved by the generosity shown by so many people in the community, along with local businesses.
“Mark truly was a wonderful son-in-law, and a loyal and loving husband, son, father and friend – his death, especially at such a young age, was absolutely tragic and has left a big hole in the lives of so many people.
“This fundraising campaign (which has now surpassed over $20,000) is one way we can honour him and raise money for further research into brain cancer.”
To kick start the campaign, Peter himself had his head shaved last September at the Timboon Bowling Club and was on hand at City Bowls Club in Warrnambool last week to watch fellow bowler Don Price also lose his locks.
“Don made a bet that if the members
of City Bowls could raise at least $2,000 towards the foundation he would have his head shaved,” Peter said.
“I’m not sure if he was confident the money would be raised or not; but they came through and exceeded that amount.”
A large crowd of enthusiastic onlookers gathered at City Bowls on Thursday afternoon and cheered as Megan’s sister, Ebony Baker, took out the clippers.
Mark’s proud parents, Sandra and Julian Mugavin were among the crowd watching the shave.
“Mark was an incredible son, husband and father and we really couldn’t be prouder,” Sandra said.
“This fundraising effort is incredible; what Peter has done has been amazing and we thank him and everyone who has donated to the foundation.
“We all really miss Mark, and times like Christmas are especially hard. I think he’d be proud of this fundraising campaign.”
Last week’s shave raised around $6,000 and will be donated to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation to fund vital research, invest in clinical trials, and provide support and advocacy for people impacted by brain cancer.
A SPECIALIST taskforce was last week deployed to western Victoria to target serious and organised crime figures wanted on warrants and with active firearm prohibition orders.
VIPER taskforce, supported by local detectives, travelled across the Warrnambool, Portland, Hamilton and Camperdown areas, with outlaw motorcycle figures and networked offenders in their sights.
During the operation, officers conducted nine firearm prohibition order checks, executed three search warrants and checked more than 100 vehicles.
Two men, aged 40 and 37, were arrested during a search warrant in central Warrnambool. A range of allegedly stolen items were seized including E bikes, drones and power tools.
The pair were charged with burglary and theft and remanded to appear at court last Monday, December 1.
A 26-year-old man, who has an active FPO (firearm prohibition order), is expected to be charged after police attended his listed address and discovered he had moved without alerting authorities.
While no firearms were located, the operation was about sending a clear message to those with FPOs, and a history of firearm offending, that they can be searched anytime by police.
During the operation, police also impounded two vehicles for driving while suspended and disqualified, and issued 37 penalty notices for traffic offences including speeding, using a mobile device and drug driving.
Operation Nimbus ran across western Victoria from November 25-28.
VIPER (a Melbourne-based taskforce) was established in July 2022 to target offenders involved in serious and organised crime at all levels.
Their targets include outlaw motorcycle gangs, Middle Eastern organised crime groups, youth gangs and those involved in serious and organised crime linked to the illicit tobacco activity.
They regularly deploy across the state to support local police with investigation tactics and enforcement actions, including FPOs.
FPOs are a valuable tool for police and remain in effect for 10 years for adults and five years for children.
During that time, the individual is prohibited from acquiring, possessing, carrying or using any firearm related item such as ammunition.
They are also unable to enter a range of premises including firearms dealers and shooting ranges.
The charges relating to FPOs are significant – 10 years’ imprisonment for acquiring, possessing, carrying or using a firearm or firearm related item.
“FPOs are about making it as difficult as possible for criminals to access illicit firearms and also create even greater consequences if they do access, use or store firearms,”
Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Asenjo (investigation and response manager) said.
“We want those who are subject to an FPO to feel very real pressure and scrutiny when it comes to illicit firearms.
“This is not a once-off operation and local police will continue to conduct FPO searches in the area.
District feels VIPER sting
“Expect us to knock on your door anytime.”
According to Detective Inspector Anthony Gasparini of the VIPER Taskforce, this latest operation was a timely reminder that VIPER can and will deploy anywhere in the state to support police in the regions.
“There can be a perception that it is easier to hide in the country, that is simply not true.
Tackling regional crime is a priority for Victoria Police, and criminals need to understand there
are no safe havens across our state,” he said.
“Just because you’re in regional Victoria doesn’t mean you aren’t in our sights. Our message is clear: if you’re involved in criminal activity, you will be caught by police and you will be held accountable.”
Anyone with information about illicit firearm or drug activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www. crimestoppersvic.com.au
Don Price prepares to have his head shaved by Warrnambool’s Ebony Baker.
Playgroup celebrates 100 sessions of fun
WEST Warrnambool’s Toddle on Hoddle playgroup has celebrated a special milestone.
The playgroup, which enjoyed its 100th session last week, is the result of a highly successful partnership between the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House and Warrnambool West Primary School.
The playgroup began in 2023, which was a time when the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House didn’t have a permanent location.
On Tuesdays during the school term, children and their carers come together to play, learn and laugh in a supportive environment at Warrnambool West Primary School on Hoddle Street.
Trish Grey has been coming to the playgroup with her granddaughter Alice since the beginning, and said it was one of the highlights of her week.
“When Alice is dropped off, I run out and say ‘we’re going to playgroup’. Alice loves it and I love it,” she said.
“Every day coming here is fun.
“I like it when there’s lots of nannas here so we can sit and talk, and also talking with parents and letting them know that what they’re going through is normal.”
After moving from East Warrnambool to West Warrnambool, Ms Grey said that Toddle on Hoddle and
the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House helped her feel part of the community.
She now volunteers at the house, running crochet sessions on Thursdays.
“I just love the community spirit… It’s a real community connection,” she said.
Fellow long-term Toddle on Hoddle member Chrissy Mugavin agreed.
“It’s relaxed and friendly and my boys (Felix and Alex) really enjoy it,” she said.
“As a new mum it was very easy to be cooped up at home and not get out, so it was very important for my own mental health to get out and about and see other parents and for the kids to have a play.
“Some weeks I probably wouldn’t have left the house without playgroup.”
West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House coordinator Jill Bourke said that Toddle on Hoddle had become one of the house’s most popular programs.
“The Neighbourhood House is all about bringing the community together and creating those connections, so that’s why we run events and activities for people at all stages of life,” she said.
“A community playgroup was really important, because
when you have a baby or a young child, it can be a bit isolating at times, both for the adults and the children.
“So we wanted to create a place where people could come and feel comfortable playing with their children and also meet other people.”
Warrnambool West Primary School principal Karen Holdsworth said she was proud of how the playgroup provided an important link between the school and the community.
“It has been a success because not only do we have the close connection with the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House, but also for our families who are in the neighbourhood, they get to see our school,” she said.
“Our Foundation teacher Renae Blake and Jill work so seamlessly together and not only does it celebrate the work of the Warrnambool City Council and the Neighbourhood House but also brings the West Warrnambool school community together.”
Next year Toddle on Hoddle will run from 9.30am until 11am on Thursday’s during the school term in the Warrnambool West Primary School multi-purpose room. It’s free to attend with no bookings needed and morning tea is provided.
Hats for Harry!
BRAUER College students have rallied around one of their favourite teachers this week to promote the importance of skin protection – and cancer prevention.
A special ‘Hats for Harry’ day was organised by year nine captains including student Reese Jansen who, after learning teacher Harry Coffey had undergone treatment for Melanoma, wanted to raise awareness of the importance of skin protection.
“Mr Coffey is very popular at school, with both students and staff, and he was also keen to spread the sun smart message,” Reese said.+
“So we came up with a Hats for Harry’ day to help spread the message and after seeing so many students wearing hats on Tuesday, I’m keen to see hat wearing made compulsory for all students while they’re outdoors from next year.”
When not teaching at Brauer College, Mr Coffy also spends time as a lifeguard – spending a lot of time out in the sun through his love of surfing and the beach.
“I have always taken protecting my skin seriously and never imagined this (Melanoma diagnosis) would happen to
me,” he said.
“I protect myself very well and am always smothered in sunscreen and Zinc. This diagnosis was frightening and I wanted something positive to come out of it.
“It was the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and educate the community about the dangers of the sun while also gathering some funds for the amazing work of the Cancer Council.”
And with summer fast approaching, Harry and Reese felt this was an ideal time to highlight the importance of getting regular skin checks and making notes of changes to any moles or other spots on your body.
“We can certainly all enjoy summer and some fun outdoors but we need to remember the importance of a hat and sunscreen,” Reese said.
A large number of students enjoyed the chance to be fun and creative with their hats on Tuesday – and then spent time in the afternoon watching Mr Coffey lose his locks.
“Mr McFadden (also on staff) brought out the clippers and gave Mr Coffey a pretty close shave; it was a lot of fun and as of last Tuesday night we raised almost $1600 for the Cancer Council which is amazing.”
Teacher Harry Coffey celebrated his head shave on Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by Brauer College students who were encouraged and inspired to wear hats when outdoors.
Year nine student Reese Jansen encouraged students to be “sun smart” and wear a hat - and was eager to see teacher Harry Coffey have his locks chopped.

THE 2026 TAC Great Vic Bike Ride route has been announced.
Next year’s five day ride, which will take place from Monday, November 30 through to Friday, December 5, will take riders on a 300 kilometre journey across the historic Goldfields region.
“The TAC Great Vic Bike Ride has been planned around the regions riders are keen to explore,” CEO of Bicycle Network Alison McCormack said.
“With its mix of history, gourmet food, wine and stunning and historic scenery, the 2026 ride has all the ingredients for another classic Great Vic.”
Organised by Bicycle Network, the 300 kilometre, five-day bike riding holiday will have five incredible riding days, three welcoming towns and loop rides on two of the days.
Riders will have a choice of arriving in Bendigo on either Sunday, November 29 or Monday, November 30 before setting off for Castlemaine.
The route will take in Maldon, Trentham, Kyneton, Woodend, Malmsbury and Creswick.
The ride is a fully catered, tent-based
holiday.
There will again be extensive on-route support, luggage transfers, entertainment, a medical team, bicycle repair facilities, eBike charging and much more.
The TAC (Transport Accident Commission) is the naming rights partner of the iconic Great Vic, with the message ‘Be Seen, Be Safe. Share the Road’.
“The Bicycle Network is committed to working with the TAC to prevent road trauma and encourage safe, sustainable travel,” Ms McCormack said.
“The ride is one of the most uplifting weeks on the bike in Australia, and this partnership ensures safety is built into every pedal stroke.”
The program for next year’s ride will be:
Pre-camp – Sunday, November 20 Bendigo.
Day 1 – Monday, November 30 Bendigo to Castlemaine
Day 2 – Tuesday, December 1 Castlemaine loop ride.
Day 3 – Wednesday, December 2, Castlemaine to Trentham.

Day 5 – Friday, December 4, Trentham to Creswick.
Respite announced for unpaid carers
ADDITIONAL respite opportunities for 80 unpaid carers across the district will soon be possible thanks to the recent launch of the Recharge Carer Support Program.
Mpower recently announced the launch of the program, funded by the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH), which will see an annual allocation of $80,000 over two years.
This initiative will provide respite opportunities for those not currently receiving support through an existing carer support program.
Unpaid carers are the backbone of our community, often providing care around the clock.
This program is designed to give them the chance to rest and recharge, knowing their loved ones are in safe hands.
Respite will be flexible and tailored to individual needs.
It may involve in-home or communitybased support, overnight stays either at home or at Mpower House, or opportunities for care recipients to join existing Mpower activities and groups.
In appropriate cases, siblings can also be included in the respite arrangements.
The program offers a wide range of experiences - children and young people living with disability can participate in group activities facilitated by experienced practitioners, scheduled at times that
suit carers, whether during the week, on weekends, or in the evenings.
Structured programs will make use of Mpower’s diverse facilities, including shortterm accommodation and respite houses and therapy rooms, as well as community venues.
Individual support can be provided at home or at Mpower, and overnight or short-term accommodation is available for children with disabilities.
Eligibility is open to anyone in an unpaid caring role who needs a break, particularly carers of people with disabilities who do not have short-term respite funded in their NDIS plan.
Carers already registered with Mpower’s Carer Support Program are not eligible and should speak with their current support team about available options.
“Caring for others is a full-time responsibility, and carers deserve time to rest and recharge. This funding allows us to provide flexible, inclusive respite options tailored to carers’ needs,” Agatha Ganda, manager disability and accommodation services at Mpower said.
Funding for the Recharge Carer Support Program will continue until June 30, 2027, ensuring ongoing support for new carers across south west Victoria.

SES urges motorists to stay safe this holiday
THE Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) is urging motorists to take extra care on the roads this holiday season, with volunteers responding to a rising number of road crash rescue (RCR) incidents across the state this year.
VICSES provides the largest road rescue network in Australia, with 105 accredited Road Crash Rescue provider units across Victoria, and 22 Rescue Support Units.
Last year, VICSES volunteers attended more than 2,200 road crash rescues across Victoria, providing critical support when people were trapped and needed emergency extrication.
This has jumped from 1,859 incidents in the year prior.
Recent data highlights a continued upward trend in incidents across multiple regions, underscoring the importance of road-safety awareness and the vital role played by local VICSES volunteers.
Across the state, VICSES has recorded sustained increases in road-crash rescue callouts in recent years.
In the South West of Victoria, Warrnambool alone, incidents have risen from 17 to 40 between 22/23 and 24/25, reflecting a broader statewide trend.
These rising numbers continue to challenge emergency responders and highlight the shared responsibility we all have in staying alert and making safe choices on the road.
Fatigue is a major contributor to road
trauma, contributing to an estimated 16–20% of all crashes in Victoria.
Holiday travel often includes long distances, unfamiliar roads, and fatigue factors that and the potential for fatigue which can significantly increase crash risk.
Ahead of the holiday period, VICSES volunteers are reminding all road users to:
• Plan their trip, know your journey and conditions;
• Take a break at least every two hours;
• Share driving responsibilities where possible;
• Avoid driving late at night or when tired;
• Allow extra time for traffic and weather conditions.
Always drive to the conditions. Warrnambool Unit volunteers have so far responded to 13 road-crash rescues over the past year, supporting motorists in South West Victoria.
As holiday traffic builds, the unit is calling on motorists to exercise additional caution when travelling over the coming months.
VICSES relies on dedicated volunteers who respond to emergencies 24/7, including storm damage, flood response, land search, and road-crash rescue.
Community members in the South West are encouraged to consider joining their local unit, with comprehensive training and access to equipment provided.
Roles are flexible and include operational response, community engagement, communications, logistics, and support functions.
No previous experience is required.
Festival ambassador named
LOCAL legend Barry Brody has been named the 2026 Koroit Irish Festival Ambassador.
According to the festival committee, Barry is the “ideal fit” for the role – and anyone who has ever been to the festival, or visited the town of Koroit, chances are they would have seen him “flying around getting things done.”
Barry is a life-long Koroit resident and a man with an unmatched passion for the town and the festival.
Barry has been a volunteer with the festival from its inception in 1997, and has been on the committee since 2010.
And when it comes to his Irish credentials, Barry also has that covered.
His parents came from County Clare to Koroit, with Barry one of 15 children.
His real name is Kevin Barry Brody, named after the great Irish rebel Kevin Barry.
And like his Irish forefathers, Barry is a spud man, spending much of his young working days picking in the spud paddocks of Koroit.
“Barry hits every mark for this role as ambassador so it’s fair to say that without Barry, there would be no Koroit Irish Festival,” committee president Adele MacDonald said.
He is our heart and soul, our Godfather; he’s the GOAT.
“It will be our 30th festival and Barry is the perfect person to be our ambassador in what will be a very special occasion.”
Barry Brody is looking forward to his role as ambassador of the 2026 Koroit Irish Festival.
Power rebate funds car seat checks
HELPING people apply for a rebate on their electricity bill has also enabled the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House to host a free child car seat installation day.
To date, the neighbourhood house has helped more than 300 eligible concession card holders apply for the state government’s Power Saving Bonus.
As well as helping local residents receive a $100 rebate, the house also received a small payment from the government for each person they assisted.
This funding was recently used to host a free child car seat installation day.
West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House coordinator Jill Bourke said she was excited to reinvest the Power Saving Bonus money into another community program.
“The car seat fitting used to run in Warrnambool and was funded by Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, but unfortunately that funding stopped,” she said.
“I’ve had quite a few phone calls from people requesting the service since it last ran a couple of years ago, so I thought that this could be a worthy project to put this money towards that the community would benefit from.
“The Power Saving Bonus application is an online form, which we know some members of the community have difficulty with, so we’re really pleased to have been able to help so many local people get the rebates they’re entitled to, and then to be able to springboard off of that and run a car seat safety program as well.
“It’s a double benefit.”
More than a dozen local families are enjoying the peace of mind knowing their children’s car seats are correctly installed, including Joanne McKinnon, who has five grandchildren aged from a few months old up to six.
“I wasn’t sure if I had the seats installed properly, so I wanted them to be installed properly for the grandkids’ safety,” she said.
Ms McKinnon said that she received expert guidance on the day and now feels more confident installing the different types of car seats she needs.
“It can be a lot easier than what you think, once you’ve had a lesson. It’s worth having a lesson,” she said.
“Frank was a great instructor and I’m really pleased.”
While the car seat safety program was a one-off for now, the house hopes to run it again in 2026.

Alternatively, call in to the house in the Pecten Avenue Park from Monday to Thursday.
Power saving Bonus applications are open until March.

Open studio tour tomorrow
ART enthusiasts of all ages are encouraged to take advantage of this weekend’s Warrnambool and Southwest Artists’ Open Studio Tour.
The tour (put together by artists Jimmi Buscombe and Caroline Healey) will see more than 30 artists across the district open their studios to the public, many for the first time.
From Warrnambool through to Camperdown, artists will open their doors to show the general public where and how they work.
Oil painters, lino-cutters, watercolourists and ceramicists, textile artists and acrylic painters will all show their inner sanctums, with works in progress and pieces for sale.
This is a time to celebrate the creativity in our community, so much of which is usually behind closed doors.
The studio tour will run from 10am until 4pm tomorrow (Saturday, December 6).

Association names ‘Futures Squad’
THE Warrnambool Moyne & District Cricket Association (WMDCA) has this week announced the introduction of its first-ever ‘Futures Squad.’
This initiative is designed to identify, develop and support the region’s most promising young cricketers.
The Futures Squad will sit alongside the association’s existing representative program, offering a dedicated pathway for emerging talent to gain early exposure to higherlevel training, coaching and match preparation.
Players named in the inaugural Futures Squad are:
Lachlan Rea and Charlie James (Allansford-Panmure), Daniel Fowler (North Warrnambool), Josh Campbell (Warrnambool), Brock Gannon (West Warrnambool), Harrison Barnes (Russells Creek), Ryan Mottram (Noorat Terang) and Charlie Mahncke (Mortlake).
The move represents a significant step forward in strengthening the WMDCA’s long-term player development strategy.
WMDCA general manager Nick Ansell said the Futures Squad formalises what many clubs and junior coaches have been fostering for years.
“This is about giving our most exciting young players the opportunity to experience the standards and expectations of senior representative cricket earlier,” Mr Ansell said.
“We want to ensure the next generation is ready to step into our senior program with confidence, experience and a strong understanding of what high-quality cricket looks like.”
Selected players will train alongside the senior development squad throughout the season, participating in skill development sessions, performance feedback, and mentorship opportunities led by experienced WMDCA coaches.
The structure is designed to “blood” up-and-coming players gradually, ensuring they can transition seamlessly into senior representative squads in the years ahead.
Head coach Jason Mungean said the Futures initiative reflects the depth of junior talent across the south-west.
“We’re seeing outstanding ability coming through our underage programs,” Mr Mungean said.
“The Futures Squad allows us to prepare these players earlier, challenge them in the right ways, and build a core group who can push for senior selection in the near future.”
The 2024–25 Futures Squad includes representatives from multiple clubs across the region, highlighting broad support for the program’s introduction.
Training began at the Reid Oval nets last Wednesday night (December 3), with further sessions scheduled for January 14, January 28 and February 4.
“This is a long-term investment,” Mungean said.
“It will strengthen our representative sides, build stronger connections with clubs, and create a clear pathway from junior cricket to senior success.”
For more information about the Futures Squad or the WMDCA’s representative program contact: Jason Mungean on 0407 097 910 or Andrew Bridge 0408 739 130.

Indoor
session for
little athletics
AN expectation of wet weather saw week seven of the Port Fairy Little Athletics program moved to the stadium for a skills session.
Around 30 athletes went through a one hour rotation, enjoying a range of skills-based activities and games, mixing with other age groups and making new friends.
Many thanks to the committee and parents who supported the set up, pack up and facilitation of the night.
This week the club will alter its usual program and complete program one to allow all kids the chance to set personal best time and distances.
The session will start at 4pm to give families time to attend the consolidated school’s Christmas event.
With just two weeks to go until the Christmas break, it is hoped all families will attend tonight (Friday) and December 12 – come dressed up for a special visitor on the Christmas-themed night.
Monday Nighters, division one winners.
Panmure Bulldogs, division two winners.
Fill-Ins, division one runners-up.
Mad Mac’s division two runners-up.

Farag wins back-to-back Jerichos
HISTORY repeated itself at the Warrnambool Racecourse last weekend when ‘Farag’ became the first horse to score backto-back wins in the $300,000 Haymes Paint Jericho Cup.
Sunday’s feature race saw the New Zealand-bred galloper take line honours ahead of Patrick Ryan Junior-trained Ferago and trainer Mitchell Freedman’s Guido, solidifying Farag’s status as one of Australia’s most durable stayers.
Farag, ridden by Will Gordon, once again gave Warrnambool-based trainer Aaron Purcell plenty of reasons to celebrate.
In the lead-up to Sunday’s Jericho Cup, Farag finished third at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day before winning over 3762m at Geelong.
Despite last weekend’s cool conditions, a strong crowd turned out to enjoy the day’s program.

Push for community hub at Brierly
THE high-quality soccer pitches at Brierly Recreation Reserve need to be matched by a contemporary community centre and changerooms according to Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain.
A $13 million accessible community centre, that includes changerooms and community meeting spaces, is proposed for Brierly Reserve and is one of council’s top advocacy priorities.
Cr Blain said council was looking to continue the partnership with the state government on the redevelopment at Brierly Reserve.
In 2022 the state government provided $1 million for the redevelopment of the playing
surface, an amount matched by council.
Cr Blain and president of the Warrnambool Rangers Football Club, Michael Robertson, met recently to talk about the pitch upgrade and the next stage of the Brierly redevelopment, which will be the community hub.
Mr Robertson said the new soccer pitches were “terrific” and the club had made good use of the ground over their first winter playing on the upgraded surface.
“We feel like we’re half-way through the project,” Mr Robertson said.
“We’ve got the amazing pitch, the next part is the facilities.
“We hosted Football South West’s
grand final here and everyone was keen to come and play on the best pitch in the league and new changerooms would definitely complement that.
“We’ve had a huge amount of growth across the whole club and particularly in female participation.
“Typically, we’ve got over 350 players and parents participating each week in winter.
“We desperately need some better female facilities … we’ve got female games back-to-back now with male games.
“Everyone needs the ability to be able to change in comfort”.
Cr Blain said the portable changerooms were a temporary
solution, and a community hub would serve the fast-growing residential area in Warrnambool’s north-east along with those participating in sport.
“We’re seeing now with that growth the portable changerooms aren’t cutting it anymore; there are challenges.
“People are getting changed in cars. It’s a struggle at the moment with the facilities that we have.
“We want to see regional tournaments here and once we’ve got the missing piece, which is the changerooms and the facilities, it’s going to be a game changer because it will increase utilisation here in a huge way.”
Mayor Cr Ben Blain and president of the Warrnambool Rangers Football Club Michael Robertson discuss the next stage of the Brierly redevelopment.
