IN what has been described as an added convenience for families living near Gateway Plaza, a pathology service is soon to open in the centre.
Dorevitch Pathology is expected to open its doors to patients within the next four weeks and according to Plaza manager, Sarah Porter, the new ‘tenant’ will provide a much needed service for residents living near the centre, particularly families and the elderly.
Dorevitch will be located in what was previously occupied by Telstra.
“It will be so handy to have a pathology service here at Gateway Plaza; people can shop, eat, have their appointment and go about their business all under the one roof,” Sarah said.
“Elderly residents (and others who don’t drive) will find this very handy because we have a bus stop right at our doorstep.”
Marketing campaign lead with Healius Pathology, Brody Douglass, confirmed that the new site would be the third collection centre in Warrnambool for Dorevitch, with others currently in Ryot Street and Raglan Parade.
“The two other collection centres will remain open; this will be a third site for Dorevitch and one that will no doubt prove very handy for those living, working and shopping in and around the Plaza,” Mr Douglass said.

THE new ‘skate and play’ adventure playground in Port Fairy is nearing completion.
Works are progressing relatively quickly (pending weather), with the skate park, playground and multi-court facilities anticipated to be open to the public within weeks.
A three-tier slide tower and 40m inclusive double flying fox have already been installed, along with picnic areas, fitness equipment and activity spaces.
“This project is an exciting addition for the town and will no doubt provide entertainment and recreation for all ages,” Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said earlier in the year.
“This will be a wonderful place for the whole community to come together and enjoy.”
Although originally anticipated to be completed in June, recent wet weather has delayed some of the works.
RESIDENTS with an outstanding fine for failing to vote in the 2024 local council elections are urged to act now.
In a statement issued early last week the Victorian Electoral Commission urged anyone with an outstanding fine to act before the matter is referred to Fines Victoria.
Those who failed to vote in the October 2024 elections have started to receive a penalty reminder notice, which carries a fee of $29.20 in addition to the original $99 fine.
Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel advised those who received a penalty reminder notice to act as soon as possible.
“If you receive a penalty reminder notice in the mail, you have three options – pay the fine, request an internal review, or elect to go to court,” Mr Bluemmel said.
“Please get in contact with us if you have any questions or require further clarification because one we hand it over to Fines Victoria for enforcement action, we are unable to further assist.”
Non-voters have 28 days to respond to the penalty reminder notice.
The Victorian Electoral Commission encourages those who are unsure what to do, or who require assistance throughout any stage of the infringements process, to call 1300 551 575 or visit vec.giv. gov.au/voting/fines-and-reviews.
PORT Fairy’s refreshed East Beach precinct was officially opened earlier this week.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster and Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora joined councillors and guests for the ceremony on Wednesday morning.
A family-friendly destination just a short drive from Warrnambool, Port Fairy’s East Beach offers gentle waves and shallow waters that are perfect for families to enjoy.
Delivered just in time for whale-watching season, the precinct upgrades span 4,000 square metres and include new landscaped and lawned spaces to attract more visitors.
New shelters, barbecues, bathrooms, changerooms, water fountains, bike racks, public seating and sun lounges were all part of the more than $1.27 million investment.
The project also supported around 40 local construction jobs.
“The East Beach precinct is a great example of how we can create welcoming, accessible spaces for the whole community,” Ms Ermacora said.
“This revitalised area will be a place for locals and visitors to enjoy everything that makes Port Fairy so special.”

THE Lighthouse Theatre stage was awash with bright colours and talented young actors and vocalists late last week.
Members of the Primary Performers’ stage production of ‘My Son Pinocchio Jr’ thrilled audiences late last week and into the weekend with their bright and exciting portrayal of the adventures of Pinocchio and his friends. The highly-polished shows were the result of many hours of rehearsals by the 70+ cast members (plus crew) in their quest to re-create the story of Pinocchio as imagined by this Disney Junior production.

YET another substantial hole has opened up on Port Fairy’s Gipps Street Bridge, again highlighting the urgent need for the bridge to be replaced.
In a statement issued earlier this week, Moyne Shire Council said it shared the community’s concerns about the state of the bridge, with this most recent hole highlighting the need for the bridge to be replaced as soon as possible.
Council’s engineers regularly conduct safety assessments of the bridge surface and substructure.
A 20km/h speed limit is in place along with a 15-tonne load limit, to reduce the impact of vehicle traffic.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster said this latest hole, and two other locations on the bridge, were repaired with steel plates last Tuesday, July 8.
“The growing patchwork of plates is a constant reminder to our local community that the bridge is overdue
for replacement,” Cr Foster said.
“Council has been advocating for several years for funding to replace the bridge, which is expected to cost over $7 million.
“An application is in place to the federal government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Fund, with the outcome expected to be known shortly.
“Should the application for federal funding not be successful, council has taken steps to access borrowing capacity of up to $10 million to replace the bridge, which was included in our 2025/26 budget.”
However, Cr Foster said that borrowing such a large sum would have an impact on council’s budgets over coming years.
“But this infrastructure work cannot wait,” she said.
“We will continue to keep the community informed about the bridge, and will share updates about timelines for the works when known.”
A 20km/h speed limit is in place, along with a 15-tonne load limit, to help reduce the impact of traffic.
THE Port Fairy Spring Music Festival is set to return from October 10-12.
The festival will this year present MOSAIC, a vibrant program that brings together music from around the world in a weekend of sound, storytelling and community celebration.
Curated by artistic directors Monica Curro and Stefan Cassomenos, the 2025 festival features 27 concerts, five free events, and over 100 artists performing music that spans genres and generations — from Mozart, Brahms
and Beethoven to Tan Dun, Kate Moore, Stravinsky, and Aaron Wyatt.
“Each artist brings a unique piece to this sonic mosaic,”
Mr Cassomenos said.
“We’ve created a program that invites everyone to experience the joy and power of music.”
Festival highlights include four world premieres, including a new opera inspired by the miraculous survival story of the Loch Ard shipwreck, connecting the program to the rich maritime history of southwest Victoria.
Audiences can enjoy everything from classical chamber works and contemporary premieres to Klezmer, Tango, Opera, Indie, experimental and comedy.
International and Australian artists feature alongside local performers, including the PFSMF Children’s Chorus. With most tickets under $40 as well as free events, the festival encourages those of all ages to experience this program. Visit www.portfairyspringfest.com.au for the full program and ticket bookings.
Recently some of my fellow Councillors and I attended the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) Conference in Canberra.
We were joined by 1,300 other Councillors and senior Officers from Councils across Australia.
The conference gave us a chance to share ideas and solutions to challenges many Councils face, including finding new ways to fund our important services, how we can help our communities make the most of the transition to renewable energy and how to plan for the future of our changing communities.
We also heard about national approaches to road safety, climate change and artificial intelligence (AI) which is already showing great promise in terms of making our work easier and more efficient.
Closer to home, we adopted the 2025-2029 Council Plan at our June 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting.
This plan is Council’s key strategic document, outlining key priorities and strategies to support the aspirations of the community.
We are so grateful to the many residents and stakeholders who contributed to the plan’s development.
We also adopted our 2025/26 Budget with a 3% rate increase, in line with the State Government’s annual rate cap policy.
Our Budget includes a $27.5 million investment in projects to support our community, with a particular focus on the local and bridge network for which there is a $17.1 million allocation.
Other major projects include stage 3 of the Koroit Township Renewal project ($3 million) and the Mortlake Recreation Reserve change-rooms project ($250,000).
Much of our time in recent months has been taken up in advocacy efforts to secure more support for farmers and businesses impacted by drought.
We were heartened by the recent State Government announcement for an additional $75 million for drought-affected farmers in our region.
The package, which was informed by the Drought Taskforce, includes $35.8 million in Primary Producer
Support Payments, $2 million for the Country Women’s Association of Victoria to deliver household payments, additional funding for long-term water security and reliability and $1 million for catchment management authorities to deliver Drought Employment Programs.
Farmers can also access the Farm Drought Support Grants Program to fund a broader range of eligible activities, including infrastructure improvements, water carting and pasture re-establishment.
To find more information on drought support visit agriculture.vic.gov.au/ drought or call 136 186.
Another major advocacy issue for us is Port Fairy’s ageing Gipps Street bridge.
With an average of 4,000 cars crossing the bridge every day, it’s a critical piece of infrastructure for Port Fairy’s residents and the many thousands of people who visit our region each year.
We are pinning our hopes on a successful outcome to our application to the Federal Government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Fund, the results of which are due any day.
Turning to some celebrations now, our completed East Beach Port Fairy redevelopment project (Stage 2) will have an official opening event on site from 10am, Wednesday 9 July 2025.
Our community is welcome to join us for the plaque unveiling as we acknowledge the upgrade to the precinct and its importance to our community and visitors.
It’s wonderful to see the vision for this space has come to fruition so beautifully.
We are also looking forward to the completion of the Skate and Play precinct in Port Fairy.
Works are coming along nicely and the break in rain has seen equipment such as the flying fox and basketball ring installed.
I know there are many very excited youngsters eagerly awaiting this one!
I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming celebrations or elsewhere in our community.
Cr Karen Foster Mayor
Moyne Shire Council shares the community’s concerns about the state of the Gipps Street Bridge in Port Fairy.

and council will no longer have a voice in future housing development applications up to three storeys.
A recently introduced state government planning amendment means that developments that meet new Victorian Government standards will no longer be decided on at Warrnambool City Council meetings.
This, effectively, bypasses councils and local residents.
The same rules also apply to developments with multiple dwellings on a single lot.
Under changes to the Townhouse and Low-rise Code, if developments meet a
FORTY trucks full of hay will descend on Camperdown this weekend, bringing hope to farmers across the southwest.
The hay, coming from far north New South Wales, has been paid for by ‘Need for Feed’ and volunteers who will bring it down for farmers across the district.
Despite recent rains, drought continues to devastate farms across the state, including the western district.
But one man who is working hard to drive a powerful movement that’s keeping livestock alive, farm businesses afloat and rural communities connected is ‘Need for Feed’ founder Graham Cockerell.
Graham not only brings hay, he also brings hugs and hope to some of Australia’s forgotten farming families.
He is not a government official, nor a millionaire philanthropist.
He’s a retired tradie, a proud Lions club member and the ‘Need for Feed’ founder.
This national volunteer-led charity has been delivering emergency hay and supplies to farmers in crisis since 2006.
What Grahame gives is so much more than feed. He delivers hope.
And it all began with a single truckload of hay and a broken heart.
Graham was just 11 years old when his father died by suicide on their family farm.
That grief stayed with him and decades later, during the Millennium Drought when Graham heard that three farmers a week were taking their own lives, he made a decision.
He decided he would not let another family go through what he did.
That’s how Need for Feed began - a Lions Club project that’s grown into one of Australia’s most significant and trusted farm relief organisations.
Since 2006, it has delivered more than $45 million in aid, including over 2,500 truck loads of hay and supplies, and thousands of hours of volunteer support.
“We don’t just bring feed,” Graham said.
“We bring toiletries, hampers, toys for the kids, and always, always, a get-together for the farmers.”
Graham’s own pain has become a source of strength for others.
Under his leadership, ‘Need for Feed’ has grown into a nationwide movement, recognised by state and federal governments as the leading emergency fodder provider in times of fire, flood, and drought.
Entire convoys of volunteers donate their time, trucks, and hearts - rolling into firegrounds, flood zones and droughtstricken towns with a message that cuts through despair: “You are not forgotten.”
set of codified standards, council must approve them.
Local residents have also effectively lost the ability to object to these developments for reasons such as public amenity or neighbourhood character.
At its July meeting, the Warrnambool City Council voted to delegate the powers to approve these developments to the council’s Manager City Growth.
“Unfortunately with these changes, there is no point in these applications coming to council meetings anymore because our ability to make decisions on them has been completely stripped away,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“What is known as ‘Clause 55’ has been
changed, so now all of the requirements are quantitative.
“There’s no room for local knowledge or local values. There will still be a public exhibition process where residents can lodge objections, but essentially, we are obligated to approve all applications that are deemed to comply with the Victorian Government’s standards, regardless of how many objections are received.”
Cr Blain said objectors won’t then be able to appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
He believes the state government has made the changes to help create more houses in the state sooner, but they had not gotten the balance right.
“We all want to see more houses built to
give more people somewhere to live,” Cr Blain said.
“We know how tight the housing market is, but I don’t think taking away the community’s voice is the way to do it.
“Neighbourhood character isn’t something that can be determined by a set or criteria, it’s determined by the neighbourhoods themselves.
“What works to encourage multi-storey developments in Melbourne doesn’t necessarily work for the regions.”
Cr Blain added that for the residents that this change will have an impact on, all councillors were deeply sympathetic.
“Developments up to three storeys high, or with multiple dwellings on a single lot, are no longer within our control.”
PIZZA, popcorn and PJs signalled the end of term for students at Koroit Primary School last week.
The final day of term was cause for celebration for students and staff who were keen to go to school dressed in their favourite pyjamas and enjoy a day of fun activities.
The PPP day was organised by the school captains and ‘Choose Kind’ leaders.
A big thanks to all families who supported this final, fun day for term two.
SOUTH West Healthcare (SWH) yesterday welcomed AFL great, artist, and proud Kokatha man Gavin Wanganeen as a special guest for NAIDOC Week 2025.
Born in Mount Gambier, he proudly descends from the Kokatha Mula people of South Australia’s Western Desert. His post-football journey has included founding MURRA Partners, an Indigenous-owned executive recruitment firm, and JOOJU Coffee (a brand blending quality with social impact) featuring Wanganeen’s artwork on every package.
This year’s theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy,’ marks the 50th NAIDOC Week in Australia and reflects the powerful legacy of First Nations people and the rising strength of new leaders.
Wanganeen, a two-time AFL Premiership winner, Brownlow Medallist, and AFL Hall of Fame inductee, was special guest at South West Heatlhcare’s NAIDOC Warrnambool event on Thursday.
The celebration included a smoking ceremony and an open community yarn with Sherry Johnstone, followed by lunch.
More than a football legend, Wanganeen has become a nationally recognised contemporary Aboriginal artist, successful businessman, and committed advocate for Indigenous communities.
Throughout his life, Wanganeen has championed causes tied to youth empowerment, Indigenous health, and cultural preservation.
His namesake scholarship at the University of South Australia has helped dozens of First Nations students achieve their dreams in education, health, the arts, and beyond.
“Gavin Wanganeen’s presence speaks directly to the theme of NAIDOC 2025,” South West Healthcare chief executive Craig Fraser said.
“His legacy, vision, and continued leadership embody everything this week is about; inspiring our communities and building a stronger, more inclusive future.”
A SERIES of expert-led workshops across regional Victoria will empower farmers with future-ready practices for profitable farming and climate resilience.
Agriculture Victoria is sponsoring the ‘Here and Now’ workshop series at Warrnambool, Colac, Drouin and Kyabram, to equip farmers with cutting-edge insights and practical tools to navigate climate challenges and optimise feed farming practices.
Sponsored by the Drought Support Package, these workshops will bring together industry leaders to explore innovative solutions for forage growth, herd management, weather resilience, and technology adoption.
Consultant and ruminant nutritionist Laura Tweddle has created this series, bringing in expert colleagues in each region to provide positive and constructive information and advice.
The aim of the series is to give attendees some tools and information to take away that might help in planning for climate variation in their farming business.
The workshops include expert speakers Ms Tweddle, from Aggies without Borders, meteorologist Jane Bunn and agronomy specialists Damien Adcock (Barenbrug Seeds) and Phil White (Ag Diagnostics).
There will be tailored discussions on region-specific climate drivers, paddock performance, and feed
strategies for the south west, including Warrnambool and Colac.
Topics will include weather forecasting, fertility management, digital farming tools (CropX Australia), with business planning (Pinnacle Group) your take-away message with Jessica Connor Kennedy to make the most of your time.
Ms Tweddle said the workshops were about turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.
“We’re bridging the gap between traditional practices and the techdriven future of farming,” she said.
“Understanding local weather drivers is key to resilience and farmers will leave with actionable strategies for their unique conditions.”
People can join the workshops either in-person or online.
The Warrnambool workshop will take place at The Flying Horse from 10am on Thursday, August 21.
The focus of this session will be high-rainfall herd management and agri-tech solutions.
The session is free to attend and those interested can book their spot via Eventbrite (Here and Now series) and questions for Jane Bunn can also be submitted.
Laura Twaddle has created the ‘Here and Now’ workshop series, with one planned for Warrnambool in August.
FARMING families across the western district may be eligible for a 40 per cent reduction on their property rates.
As part of the recently-announced Primary Producer Support Payment scheme, these payments will provide much-needed cash flow relief for farmers in 12 local government areas in south west Victoria, including Warrnambool, Moyne and Corangamite.
According to a statement issued last week by the state government, an additional $75 million has been allocated “to help farmers through the drought” and to make sure their voices shape the support they need to get through tough times.
The Drought Response Taskforce acknowledged that farming families were currently facing difficult times, which was impacting livelihoods, households and local communities.
“We’re also supporting the Country Women’s Association (CWA) with $2 million in support, to deliver household payments of up to $1,000 to struggling families in these local government areas,” the statement read.
“We’re also reducing the costs of doing businesses for our primary producers, with a $6.3 million fee and duty relief package.
“This will free up cash for farmers to spend on other parts of their business or put into the household budget.”
It was also noted that Agriculture
Victoria would work with the livestock biosecurity compensation fund advisory committees, Dairy Food Safety Victoria and PrimeSafe to explore opportunities to waive biosecurity duties and regulatory fees and charges.
On top of this, Agriculture Victoria will waive indexation on its 2025-26 biosecurity fees and charges and provide targeted fee relief to assist farmers experiencing cash flow challenges.
“Having a reliable source of water is critical for our farmers; it underpins their ability to grow food, support livestock, and sustain rural communities now and into the future,” the statement continued.
“That’s why the government will invest $15 million towards extending the East Grampians Rural Pipeline, also known as the Mininera Rural Pipeline.
“This pipeline expansion will increase access to reliable and high-quality water from Lake Fyans to 750 additional rural properties, 10 local towns, 34 fire hydrants, and 66 tanks for firefighting in the Ararat Rural City, Northern Grampians, and Pyrenees Shire.”
A further $2.5 million has also been allocated to leverage existing groundwater bores to access water for domestic and stock usage in drought affected areas.

ADULTS living with physical disabilities who are looking to improve their health can take advantage of a special initiative at AquaZone.
The popular aquatic centre is offering adults living with physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in a supportive, gym-based fitness program.
The Warrnambool All-Abilities Gym Program, led by CQUniversity physiotherapist and lecturer James Czencz, is a 12-week program designed to break down barriers to exercise and promote long-term health and wellbeing.
“We’re passionate about creating inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive,” Mr Czencz said.
“This program not only supports participants with tailored workouts and access to gym and pool facilities, but also gives university students hands-on experience in inclusive community-based health care.”
Each participant is paired with a Deakin University health student
who acts as a gym buddy, providing encouragement, guidance, and companionship throughout the program.
“Many people with physical disabilities face challenges like not knowing what exercises to do or not having someone to train with,” Mr Czencz said.
“This program addresses those issues head-on.”
The program is flexible, with start times tailored to suit individual needs.
It’s open to adults living with a physical disability who are interested in improving their fitness in a welcoming, community-focused environment.
Last year’s pilot phase was a success, with participants reporting increased confidence, enjoyment, and a sense of belonging.
“We’re excited to bring this program back and explore how it can become a sustainable, long-term offering beyond the research phase,” Mr Czencz said.
Participants can be aged 18-40 with stable physical disabilities and no new or recent health issues that could be worsened by exercise. They need to be able to communicate with either speech, writing or gestures.
Mentors can be university students (any year level) studying nursing, occupational therapy or health science at the Deakin University Warrnambool campus.
If you’d like to find out more or get involved please contact James Czencz on 0407 632 363 or j.czencz@ cqu.edu.au.

AMBULANCE Victoria’s ‘Kids Save Lives’ program has been expanded and schools across the district are being encouraged to sign up.
The program offers life-saving CPR skills to even more Victorian students.
The Australian-first program has been developed by Ambulance Victoria for teachers to deliver, and aims to improve cardiac arrest survival rates by showing students how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED).
Last year Ambulance Victoria paramedics responded to 7,545 out-ofhospital cardiac arrests.
While Victoria has one of the best cardiac arrest survival rates in the world, every day about 20 Victorians suffer a cardiac arrest but only one in 10 people survive.
Around 80 per cent of Victorian cardiac arrests occur in residential settings.
Ambulance Victoria executive director of regional operations Danielle North said it was important that both adults and young people know CPR and how to use an AED.
“Our Kids Save Lives program contains essential learning and life-saving skills,”
Ms North said.
“Students will not only be able to share their knowledge with friends and family, but also with their wider community.
“We hope this training will help save many Victorian lives.”
Through Kids Save Lives, students are taught to recognise when someone is in cardiac arrest and to learn the three simple steps of Call (call triple zero 000), Push (perform CPR) and Shock (use an AED).
The program is conducted in partnership with the Heart Foundation, Monash University, Australian Resuscitation Council, Department of Education and Training and Heart of the Nation and was established by original Yellow Wiggle Greg Page who survived a cardiac arrest in
January 2020.
The Heart Foundation’s Victorian general manager Chris Enright said Heart Foundation-funded research showed only half of Australian adults were trained in CPR, but that those trained were more willing to help others in emergency situations.
“Educating children is a successful way to reach the entire population as children can be encouraged to teach others,” Ms Enright said.
“We know that CPR training programs in schools that have run overseas in Sweden, France, Denmark, Norway and the UK, have equipped participants with life-saving knowledge; these countries now have some of the highest bystander CPR and survival rates internationally.
“Working alongside our project partners, and with the support received from The Lionel and Yvonne Spencer Trust, and the Danks Trust, we are confident students will learn the skills that could save the life
of someone in their community.”
More than 5,300 students from 35 schools have already enrolled in the expansion pilot program, and organisers are calling on more Year 7-10 schools to get involved to help bring these life-saving skills to even more students in 2025.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends starting CPR training for children as early as age 12, and ideally, annually.
The ‘Kids Save Lives’ position statement, supported by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and WHO, advocates for this approach.
“You don’t have to be a paramedic to save a life, you just need to be able to perform CPR and know how to use an AED.”
Victorian teachers who are interested in learning more about the free of charge Kids Save Lives program can email community. engagement@ambulance.vic.gov.au
CONSTRUCTION of Warrnambool’s second KFC store is well underway, with completion now anticipated to be mid-August.
Construction on the 1200 square metre site at Gateway Plaza got underway in January this year, with works currently being undertaken by Horsham-based company, Locks Construction.
It is anticipated that up to 60 new jobs will be created with the store’s opening, providing full-time, part-time and casual positions both in-store and as delivery drivers.
According to Craig Williams, director of The Bird Group (which currently operates the existing Raglan Parade store, along with several others across the western district), it is hoped this new store will help alleviate some of the problems on Raglan Parade.
“We’re aware of some of those issues on Raglan Parade in terms of vehicle access and customer parking and we’ve listened to customer feedback,” Mr Williams said late last year.
“This area (at the Plaza) is the perfect fit for us and the perfect fit for our customers.”
FAMILIES looking for some school holiday fun this weekend should head to Flagstaff Hill for ‘wool weekend.’
Wool Weekend is a two-day event which will run from 11am until 3pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
The event was first held last year and forms part of Flagstaff Hill’s winter school holiday program.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the rich history of wool, from its origins to its modern-day uses.
See live demonstrations of traditional wool and fibre trades and crafts, including blade shearing, fleece preparation, yarn spinning, knitting, felting and dyeing.
Enjoy historical displays, meet the sheep and take part in interactive storytelling, hands-on activities and fun craft workshops.
Eleven year-old Olivia Finnigan will be the youngest exhibitor over the weekend – she is carrying on the tradition of making things out of wool, thanks to skills passed down by her grandmother.
Olivia and her grandmother Susan Finnigan were also at the inaugural Wool Weekend event last year, with their felting demonstration so popular it has expanded into a hands-on workshop.
Participants can either make a felted pencil cover or felted picture, with Olivia explaining the process of making a picture.
“You get little pieces of wool and go horizontally and vertically in tiny little
pieces until you make an image,” she said.
“Then you wet it, cover it with mesh, wet that, rub it and that felts it. Then you do the same on the other side and once nothing is moving around
you put it in hot water and then cold twice; it’s a lot of fun.”
Entry is free for locals, with general admission prices for those living outside the Warrnambool City Council municipality
BUG houses was the topic of the day for the July meeting of the Warrnambool Floral Art group.

Numbers increased to 1852 at Mortlake which is 194 head more than the previous yarding. It was another typical winter yarding overall with supplementary fed cattle leading the way.
The bullock offering displayed more weight despite fewer numbers available and was mixed in quality with a few more manufacturing cattle included.
The trade cattle presented were very good at the top end, although a tail was evident among the plainer crossbred cattle.
A mixture of beef-bred and dairy cows was presented, with very few beef-breeds on offer. Approximately 80 percent of the cow offering consisted of dairy-bred types.
All cattle were met by a full field of buyers and feeders who were active across the yarding.
The breakdown included 100 bullocks, 473 tradeweight cattle, 1221 cows, and 58 grown bulls.
The market overall for bullocks and trade cattle remained fully firm with continued strong demand for well-bred lighter feeder steers and heifers.
Heavy cows were 5 to 10c/kg stronger, while medium to light cows gained 15 to 25c/kg.
There were limited numbers of cows returning to the paddock and those that did were firm to dearer.
Grown bulls showed notable improvement gaining 25 to 30c/kg in places.
Bullocks sold to a top of 430c/kg. Heavy beef cows made between 330 and 369c/kg while medium and lighter weights ranged from 280 to 330c/kg.
Dairy cows generally sold from 275 to 334c/kg for the better-covered types and cows returning to the paddock reached up to 302kg.
Manufacturing steers sold to 355c/kg and crossbred steers reached up to 360c/kg.
Grown heifers sold between 355 and 398c/kg and grown steers made up to 408c/kg.
Trade cattle at the better end realized prices between 390 and 464c/kg.
Grown bulls sold to a top of 378c/kg.

THE East Warrnambool Football Netball Club will reluctantly disband at the end of the year, ending a community connection dating back more than 100 years.
The club will go out with a bang, holding a special luncheon tomorrow (Saturday, July 12) to remember the 1995 premiership team, with another major event planned for later in the year.
East Warrnambool hasn’t fielded teams since 2019 but has been working tirelessly in an effort to re-enter the Warrnambool and District Football Netball League (WDFNL).
However, the club has cited a lack of support from WDFNL, Warrnambool City Council (WCC) and AFL Victoria for its decision to disband.
Speaking on behalf of the club, treasurer Julie Scoble said it was a reluctant move but the club had been left with no option.
“We’ve got a lot of long-term supporters who will be very disappointed, but we got to the stage where we’d exhausted all options,” Mrs Scoble said.
“I’ve been involved since 1989 and personally it’s heartbreaking, and many others will feel the same.”
The club was formed in 1907 and won premierships in 1967 and 1995, the latter by 143 points which remains a WDFNL record.
After going into recess in 2020 and 2021 due to upgrades at the Reid Oval, the club was granted an additional year recess in 2022 due to COVID.
During this time the committee engaged with the WDFNL with the aim of re-entering the competition in 2023.
However, the WDFNL’s re-entry criterion required the club to field in all senior and junior grades in both football and netball and nominate coaches and players.
“The club believed it could meet the requirements for senior football and all senior and junior netball but not junior football despite a focus on rebuilding in the East Warrnambool area,” Mrs Scoble said.
“However, the dates for nominations were not realistic as most players and coaches were involved with other clubs.”
WDFNL also required documentation from Warrnambool City Council confirming continued long-term usage of the Reid Oval or an alternative long-term facility.
The council would not guarantee this until the club could demonstrate it was entered into a competition, even though at the time it still had three years left on its lease agreement.
“In other words, the council would not consider approval for use of the oval until the club was accepted by the league, and the league would not approve re-entry until there was council approval use of the oval,” Mrs Scoble said.
“Due to the reluctance to negotiate on the re-entry criteria and a lack of support, there was no option but to withdraw the request to re-enter the WDFNL in September 2022.”
Over the past three years, East Warrnambool continued to operate as a social club while trying to find ways to return to competition but was ultimately frustrated by a
lack of support from the council and WDFNL.
“It was an impasse out of our control that we couldn’t resolve,” Mrs Scoble said.
During this time, the club has distributed about $30,000 to various community groups, including $150 grants to anyone wanting to play WDFNL to help with sporting gear, and donations to Hospice in the Home and Merri River School.
The committee’s decision to disband was brought to a head by WCC refusing to renew the lease on the clubrooms beyond this year.
“The clubrooms were built and developed by members and we are very disappointed at the lack of communication and clarity from WCC as to what is happening to them,” Mrs Scoble added.
The clubrooms are currently being used by the pool association and Hospice in the Home free of charge.
The club is starting the process of disbanding and will ensure items in the clubrooms are rehoused appropriately and funds appropriated for the community.
This weekend’s luncheon will be held from noon during the Warrnambool-North Warrnambool game at Reid Oval.
The club thanks all former players, committee and club members, administrators, supporters and sponsors who contributed over more than 100 years to Hopkins Ward, East Stars Football Club and East Warrnambool Football and Netball Club.
