Cancer support boost

Elle Conrick was thrilled to be appointed the south-west’s first McGrath Foundation cancer care nurse supporting all cancer types.

ALL cancer patients across the southwest now have direct access to a local McGrath Foundation care nurse, no matter what their cancer type.

In a first for the region, the foundation recently announced the appointment of Elle Conrick who will now assist anyone diagnosed with cancer, not just those with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Elle, who is employed by South West Healthcare and based at the South West Regional Cancer Centre, said she was thrilled to step into this new role.

“I’m honoured to be a McGrath Foundation nurse, supporting people with

cancer across the south west,” she said.

“It’s a privilege to play a role in the McGrath Foundation extending its care and help to ensure that anyone diagnosed with cancer has access to care.

“This role enables me to provide meaningful care for patients and their families, helping to navigate an often complex healthcare system and offering clinical, psychosocial and emotional support.

“My goal is to ease the impact of any challenges that may arise for a patient throughout their cancer experience and provide continuity of care.”

Elle’s position is in addition to the

existing McGrath Cancer Care Nurse in the area supporting people experiencing breast cancer.

Ryan Barlow, McGrath Foundation CEO, said Elle’s new role would see her provide free care and support for individuals and their families in Warrnambool and throughout the south west.

“McGrath Cancer Care Nurses are clinical experts who help people with cancer and their families navigate the medical system by providing clinical, psychosocial and emotional support to people with any type of cancer throughout their treatment,” he said.

“We are honoured to provide this vital

service to people experiencing any type of cancer in the south west region; we are committed to our purpose of ensuring noone goes through cancer without the care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.”

The McGrath Foundation funded Elle’s role after a successful application from South West Healthcare.

This new role will complement existing cancer care services, and directly positively impact patients within the south west region.

There are currently 367 McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia, and 82 supporting people with cancer throughout Victoria.

Emotions rise over respite closure

THE proposed July closure of a weekend respite facility in Warrnambool has been met with frustration, concern and disappointment by local families.

Warrnambool’s Robert Askew, who cares for his wife who suffers from dementia, said the facility (operated by Respect and referred to as “the homestead”) had been an invaluable support for them both.

“These monthly weekend breaks provide me with much-needed relief from the constant demands of caregiving, allowing me time to rest, recharge and attend to my own wellbeing,” the 85 year-old said.

“While we have services throughout the week to assist with everyday living, we have greatly relied on the availability of this weekend respite.”

Mr Askew urged the management of Respect to reconsider the proposed closure of weekend respite services at the Homestead and to explore options for continuing this service in another part of the complex.

“This devastating decision (to close the weekend service) will place additional strain on family carers who depend on these short breaks to maintain their own physical and mental health,” he said.

“Families are doing everything possible to keep our loved ones at home and out of full-time residential care for as long as possible.

“The removal of this service undermines that goal and risks jeopardising the sustainability of home-based care for families like mine.”

He believes decisions like this make the goal harder, not easier, and deserves urgent consideration and public attention.

Mr Askew’s daughter, Janine O’Keefe, lives interstate and believes that when this service closes, carers like her father won’t

just lose support, they will lose the ability to keep caring “with consequences this community cannot afford to ignore.”

“The loss of this local service is likely to add to the stress and pressure experienced by both carers and those they support,” she said.

“For my parents, this could pose risks to their health and independence, and may ultimately lead to a greater burden on the health and aged care system as a whole.”

She said with this closure families would be faced with a significant reduction in accessibility to respite services.

“The only remaining weekend respite services are in Port Fairy or Timboon, both of which are a distance from Warrnambool. This increased distance effectively limits options for respite care, heightening the challenges that carers and their loved ones face on a daily basis.”

Ms O’Keefe added that any claims by Respect that the Warrnambool facility was under-utilised was questionable.

“I have handled all mum’s bookings at the Homestead and at times I had to book six months in advance because there simply wasn’t the availability,” she said.

“I’ve no doubt this is a very well utilised facility and one that is appreciated by so many.

“It’s a wonderful, familiar setting for users; mum has enjoyed her time there and dad can relax knowing she is happy and well looked after in a safe, lovely environment.”

Warrnambool’s Joan Carter (whose sister Mavis has also used the homestead for respite care for her husband) is another to express her disappointment and frustration over the planned closure, saying many families feel the rug has been pulled from under their feet.

“Having a local, weekend respite facility in Warrnambool is just so important for so many families,” Ms Carter said.

“We are doing our best to look after family members to keep them at home for as long as possible, but carers also need a little break sometimes.”

The 79 year-old cares for her husband (who suffers from dementia) in their family home but was hoping to book some respite in the near future.

Now that option has gone, and she feels bitterly disappointed.

“The homestead is such a lovely place and it’s just so disappointing to hear it will be closed for weekend respite care.

“I also know of a men’s group that meets there each Tuesday and Friday and for many men it is a very familiar place and they would feel comfortable staying there. And for carers, it gives them a much-needed break knowing their loved ones are safe, warm and well taken care of.

“I urge Respect to reconsider this

proposed closure.”

In response to questions raised by the Weekly, Respect CEO and managing director Jason Binder issued the following statement on Wednesday:

Respect can confirm the weekend Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) respite service at the Homestead is winding up due to declining demand.

The change only relates to the weekend CHSP program which had capacity for five beds with only two of those in use.

Respite support will continue through our aged care home.

Staff have been offered alternative roles and clients are being supported to transition to options that suit their needs.

Respect remains committed to supporting older people in Warrnambool and is working directly with affected families to ensure continuity of care.

Forum to discuss tax changes

THE impacts of the most significant tax changes in Australia since the introduction of the GST will be discussed at a forum in Warrnambool later this month.

Former professor of accounting at Deakin University, Dr Graeme Wines, will lead the forum (hosted by the Australian Independent Retirees (AIR) Warrnambool branch) at the RSL at 10am on Friday, June 26.

Dr Wines described the tax changes introduced in the recent federal budget as the most significant since the introduction of GST at the start of this century.

Those taxes that will most affect retirees relate to capital gains tax (CGT), discretionary family trusts, and the private health insurance rebate.

Dr Wines urged people to find out how the changes would impact them.

“While the nature of some of the changes is very technical, the presentation aims to explain these in an easily understood manner,” he said.

Dr Wines said the introduction of a minimum 30 per cent tax on capital gains represented a major change from the principle of progressive tax rates.

While the usual 30 per cent income tax rate does not apply until a taxable income of $45,000 per annum, the proposed CGT rules will hit taxpayers earning below that amount.

While there is an exemption from

the minimum 30 per cent rate for those on government income support, such as the aged pension, others, including self-funded retirees, will be hit with this higher rate.

The changes could also affect others on lower incomes, such as students and casual workers, who have been investing in shares in an effort to build up a home deposit.

The new rules for discretionary family trusts specify a 30 per cent tax on distributions.

Unlike franking credits on shares, which are refundable in the hands of the taxpayer, trust beneficiaries will receive only a non-refundable tax credit for any distributions received.

“The net effect of the change is that the higher 30 per cent tax rate will apply to those in the nil or 16 per cent tax brackets,” Dr Wines said.

“While there will be exemptions for primary production income and existing testamentary trusts, there is no exemption for individuals receiving government income support payments as there is under the proposed CGT rules.”

Any retiree who has all or part of their assets in a family trust will be subject to the proposed rules.

“While treasurer Jim Chalmers justified the proposed rules as mainly applying to only wealthier people, there are many small businesses, including tradies, who operate via a discretionary trust and who will be hit by the proposed rules,” Dr Wines said.

The other major change for retirees is the reduction in the

private health insurance rebate. The proposed change will apply the lower 24 per cent rebate to everyone, including those aged 65 and over, significantly increasing

the net cost of private health insurance for retirees.

Further topics to be covered at the AIR meeting will include other major budget announcements and

federal government and Victorian state government finances.

The meeting starts at 10am at the Warrnambool RSL and it’s free to attend.

Golf club faces costly changes

AFTER more than four years of negotiations, the Port Fairy Golf Club is now facing costly changes to its course, including the loss of its iconic 15th tee.

According to Member for South West Coast Roma Britnell, the “state government’s bureaucratic stubbornness” has forced the club into a costly and unnecessary redesign.

“After four and a half years of negotiations, delays and rejected compromise proposals, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) has refused every solution put forward by the club and insisted sections of the course be removed from its lease,” Ms Britnell claimed.

“The government has failed to provide any credible environmental justification for

removing the land from the lease despite the course operating in its current form for decades.

“The Port Fairy Golf Club has been an outstanding and respectful custodian of this land for generations.”

Ms Britnell said the course co-exists with the surrounding environment, even managing and weeding the neighbouring Crown land.

This course attracts visitors from across the country and showcases one of Victoria’s most spectacular coastal landscapes.

“The decision will result in the loss of portions of two fairways and the club’s iconic 15th tee - a signature feature promoted in club marketing and recognised by golfers across Australia,” she said.

“The club has been operating under an

expired lease for almost three years while negotiations have continued, preventing important maintenance works, delaying investment and creating uncertainty around the club’s long-term future.”

Ms Britnell raised this issue with the minister and sought a resolution.

“The concerns of the club, its members and the wider community were simply ignored,” she said.

“The disputed area amounts to approximately 120 square metres within the 1,500-hectare Belfast Coastal Reserve –around 0.001 per cent of the reserve.”

Shadow Minister for Environment Nick McGowan said a future Liberal government would act swiftly to restore certainty to the club, amend the lease to include the disputed 120 square metres, and allow

the course to continue operating in its current configuration - unless compelling evidence could be produced that significant environmental harm would result.

“This is bureaucracy for bureaucracy’s sake and a complete failure of genuine community consultation,” Mr McGowan said.

“When government agencies spend four and a half years fighting a volunteer-run regional golf club over a patch of land smaller than many suburban backyards, something has gone seriously wrong.

“This decision delivers no meaningful conservation benefit while imposing significant costs on a community asset that drives tourism, supports local jobs and contributes strongly to the regional economy.”

Dr Graeme Wines will lead a forum next week to discuss tax changes.

Works continue under bridge

MINOR upgrade works are continuing underneath the Mount Emu Creek Bridge at Panmure.

Major works were carried out on the bridge in December last year.

According to Transport Victoria, that upgrade reinforced the structure, ensuring it could meet the demands of heavy traffic volumes and modern freight vehicles travelling along this major highway.

That work was delivered as part of an upgrade to the Princes Highway Corridor to improve road safety and better connect people with jobs and services, and goods to market.

Crews returned to the area late last month to complete further minor works that had been identified while strengthening works were underway last year.

According to Michael Bailey, executive director Barwon South West (Department of Transport and Planning), crews will be installing full under-bridge scaffolding to replace aging elements of the bridge which have corroded.

They will also treat existing steel elements with new protective coatings.

“We don’t expect any traffic disruptions during these works as crews will be operating beneath the Princes Highway,” Mr Bailey said.

“It’s anticipated these latest works will take up to 11 weeks to complete, weather pending, with work expected to be finished by August.”

Pedestrian access to the Panmure Swimming Hole from the Panmure campground will be limited during works to ensure the safety of crew and members of the public.

The Mount Emu Creek Bridge was built in 1959.

Cash boost for local projects

PROJECTS in Port Fairy, Koroit, Yambuk and Framlingham are among several to receive a cash boost as part of round three of the Tiny Towns Fund.

Announcing the funding allocations last week, Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora said five local projects were among those to receive funds.

The Port Fairy Community Services Centre upgrade has been allocated $42,300 while Koroit’s open space beautification will receive $33,891.

A grant of $29,727 has been allocated towards the Yambuk rest stop planning and the Cudgee Hall will receive $11,923 towards critical repairs.

The Framlingham Hall and Recreation Reserve has also been successful, with $35,769 going towards the refurbishment of the Framlingham Community Hall.

Round three of the $20 million Tiny Towns Fund will deliver 157 projects across 151 towns with less than 5,000 people.

Across regional Victoria, more than 40 much-loved community halls will be updated while 15 playgrounds and play spaces will be created or improved.

“Dozens of regional communities are already reaping the rewards of the Tiny Towns Fund, with more than 100 projects complete, helping make regional Victoria an even better place,”

Ms Ermacora said.

“Most projects are being delivered by local workers and businesses, backing regional supply chains and economic growth.”

Ms Ermacora said the Tiny Towns Fund backs the small communities where people genuinely come together from all walks of life and makes regional Victoria such a great place to live.

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

Safer streets signs installed

Streets in Port Fairy and Koroit have now had their new speed signs installed thanks to funding through the Safer Streets program through the Transport Accident Commission and State Government.

Statistics have shown that in a collision between a pedestrian or cyclist and a car, a speed reduction from 50km/h to 40km/h can be the difference between a 10 per cent chance of survival and 60 per cent chance.

Moyne are pleased to be able to help reduce the risk to road users by creating safer streets across our Koroit and Port Fairy townships.

Streets were selected as part of an initial review of each township and after consultation with the community Council is looking to install some further signage around the health precinct in Port Fairy.

Photography exhibition celebrates ageing

A POWERFUL new photographic exhibition celebrating the lives, contributions and individuality of older people has opened across the south west.

The exhibition invites the community to reflect on ageing through a respectful and informed lens.

‘Spirited, Wise and Wonderful,’ led by the South West Elder Abuse Awareness Network under the auspices of Mpower Inc., is now on display at both the Warrnambool and Hamilton libraries until Monday, June 23.

The exhibition was timed to coincide with this week’s World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (June 15), a global initiative that highlights the rights, safety and dignity of older people.

Through a compelling collection of images, the exhibition encourages

thoughtful reflection on ageing, raises awareness about the often-hidden issue of elder abuse.

It also highlights the individuality and experiences of older members of the community.

Each photograph offers a meaningful reminder of the many ways people continue to contribute, connect and express themselves throughout later life.

The exhibition is as much about celebration as it is about education.

“This exhibition celebrates the individuality, contribution and lived experience of older people, while also encouraging conversations about respect, inclusion and the importance of safeguarding against abuse,” event organiser Tracy McKendry said.

The official launch featured the announcement of this year’s standout

entries, with photographers recognised for their ability to tell powerful stories through their work.

In the junior category, judged by the Elder Abuse Prevention Network panel, Josh Veale took top honours with his photograph Music Teacher.

The image captures a moment of intergenerational connection and creativity, reflecting the ongoing contributions older people make within their families and communities.

The senior category winner, Unapologetic Audrey by Rhonda McDonell, impressed judges with its bold and affirming portrayal of identity and confidence in later life.

The photograph celebrates authenticity and self-assurance.

While the winners have been announced, the public is also invited to have their say.

Visitors to either library exhibition can

cast a vote for their favourite photograph, offering further recognition to the artists and subjects who have helped bring the exhibition to life.

Organisers hope the strong community engagement will deepen understanding of elder abuse and encourage people to speak up if they have concerns.

“Awareness is a crucial first step,” Ms McKendry said.

“By creating spaces where people can engage with these stories, we’re helping to build a community grounded in respect, inclusion and safety for older people.”

The exhibition is free to attend and open during library hours at both Warrnambool and Hamilton libraries until June 23.

Community members are encouraged to visit, reflect, and be part of a broader conversation about respect, recognition and inclusion in later life.

Global craft weekend in Warrnambool

CRAFT enthusiasts are invited to a free ‘Makers Meet Up’ in Warrnambool later this month.

Warrnambool will join a wave of craft events across eight countries this June, as ‘My Crafternoons’ hosts a free event as part of the World’s Largest Craft Club.

For one afternoon only, Tilly Divine will become a pop-up craft cafe, bringing together local artists, makers and craft-loving community members for a Makers Meet-Up.

The Warrnambool event will be one of around 35 creative events expected to take place around the world on the same weekend.

My Crafternoons founder, Stacey Barnes, said the event was

about making creativity feel social, accessible and joyful.

“Rather than our usual workshops, this is an informal, welcoming space for anyone who loves making things and making friends,” Ms Barnes said.

“You can bring along a portable creative project or just come as you are and meet like-minded people.”

The event taps into a growing global shift toward offline, community-based experiences in an increasingly digital age.

The June 28 event will run from 3pm-5p,at Tilly Divine in Liebig Street.

While the session is free, anyone interested in taking part is encouraged to register at www.trybooking.com/DMTGX.

Joshua Veale took top honours in the junior category for his photograph, Music Teacher.

Audrey Lyons was the centre of this award-winning photo by Rhonda McDonell.

Stacey Barns is looking forward to the June 28 event.

Resilient farming course now open

FARM businesses across south west Victoria can learn how to become more sustainable through a new resilient farming course launching in August.

Heytesbury District Landcare Network (HDLN) is offering 10 heavily subsidised places for local farming businesses to take part in the regionally tailored program that will focus on strengthening farm resilience, soil health, productivity and ecological function.

The five-day program will run between August and November 2026, combining expert advice with on-farm learning experiences.

Course facilitators and presenters include Jade Killoran of Healthy Farming

Input sought on future growth

WARRNAMBOOL City Council

is asking the community to help shape a major city-wide strategy that will guide how and where Warrnambool grows over the next 20 to 25 years.

The Warrnambool Futures Plan will look at where future housing, commercial and industrial land should be located, as well as the infrastructure, transport connections, services and employment opportunities needed to support a growing city.

The municipality’s population is projected to reach approximately 41,000 residents over the next two decades.

The Warrnambool Futures Plan will also consider how the city can grow in a climate-wise and sustainable way, with planning decisions that respond to future environmental challenges.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said the plan was an important step in planning for Warrnambool’s future.

“We know more people will want to call Warrnambool home over the next 25 years and we will continue to be the regional centre of south west Victoria,” he said.

“The Warrnambool Futures Plan will help us prepare for that growth while protecting what people already value about our city.

“This is a really important piece of work because it will help guide where people live, where jobs are created and what infrastructure is needed to support our community.

“If you cast your mind back 25 years, many of Warrnambool’s major residential, commercial and industrial areas either didn’t exist or looked very different.

“Horne Road and Aberline Road were unsealed. The Dennington, Northpoint, Homemaker and Bunnings shopping precincts weren’t built. Wangoom Road was largely only used if you wanted to go to Wangoom or the Hopkins Falls.

“Each of those areas, as well as others, have changed significantly and those changes were guided by long-term land use planning.”

Residents can read the Draft Warrnambool Futures Plan and submit their feedback at www.yoursaywarrnambool. com.au.

Hard copies are also available at the Civic Centre, 25 Liebig Street.

You can also attend a drop-in session at the Warrnambool library today (Friday, June 19) from 9am until 1pm or tomorrow, Saturday, June 20, from 10am-2pm.

Systems, soil health consultant Tony Evans, and agricultural educator and project lead Kristy Stewart.

Each participating farm business will receive soil, microbiology and plant tissue testing as part of the program.

Ms Stewart said the course was designed to build practical knowledge and support informed decision-making.

“This program gives farmers the opportunity to step back and take a closer look at how their systems are functioning, while exploring management options that align with their goals and landscape,” she said.

“Participants will be supported through testing and analysis to develop a tailored farm action plan, helping guide future

management decisions.”

Designed around local landscapes and farming conditions, the course will explore soil health, biology and carbon, grazing management, pasture systems, nutrient management and fertiliser use.

Participants will also investigate ways to monitor change and assess the impact of different management approaches within their own farm systems.

The HDLN course is one of four being offered in southwest Victoria.

The Central Otway, Upper Barwon and Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare networks are also delivering the resilient farming course, with 10 course places being offered in each region.

Valued at $5,000, the course is heavily

subsidised, with successful applicants contributing only $300 per farm business. This project is supported by the Australian government through funding from the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program under the Natural Heritage Trust.

Participants will also have access to ongoing peer-to-peer learning opportunities following the course, supporting continued knowledge sharing and connections with other local farmers interested in building resilient and sustainable farming systems.

Applications close June 30.

Farmers interested in applying or seeking further information can contact HDLN’s landcare facilitator Debbie Dalziel on 0439 950 242.

The torn teddy, old lamp and power of repair

WHEN people hear ‘repair café’ they often picture volunteers fixing electrical appliances, sharpening knives or mending clothing.

And while all of those things do happen, that’s only part of the story.

What arrives at the repair café isn’t just broken stuff.

It’s a teddy bear that’s been loved for 20 years, a lamp that once belonged to a grandmother long gone or a radio that sat on a kitchen bench through decades of family breakfasts.

It’s a favourite necklace, a treasured toy, a much-loved tool or a household item that has quietly become part of someone’s life.

In a world that often encourages us to replace rather than repair because it’s cheaper, quicker or easier, there is something quietly powerful about giving things another chance.

The repair café isn’t really about fixing objects. It’s about preserving stories, sharing skills and reminding ourselves that not everything valuable is brand new.

And for the volunteer fixers it’s about seeing the smile on someone’s face when a broken teddy, a family lamp or a treasured keepsake works once again.

And that smile is priceless.

“We started the Port Fairy Repair Café in 2020, so this is our seventh year,” coordinator Natasha Mills said.

“During that time we have seen over 1000 items come through the door, and we have fixed over 800 of them.

“Some repairs take only minutes. Other items are too far gone, but even when an item can’t be fixed, there is often a meaningful conversation, a shared laugh and a chance to learn something new.”

The Port Fairy Repair Café will be open tomorrow, Saturday, June 20, from 10am12pm at the Port Fairy Community House.

Take care on highways and arterial roads

WARRNAMBOOL mayor Cr Ben Blain is urging motorists to take care when driving on the south west’s highways and arterial roads.

“The state of these major state government roads means that many stretches have become dangerous,” Cr Blain said.

“They have been let go for too long and we’re now in a position where there are numerous deep potholes on long stretches of road.

“These are evident on the Princes Highway (including Raglan Parade), Mortlake Road and to a lesser extent, Caramut Road.”

Local councils are not authorised, nor

do they have the funds to make repairs on state-owned and managed roads.

“We’re seeing drivers weaving between the potholes, ruts and rough patches but some are unavoidable and we’ve all read the reports of numerous cars being damaged as a result of the road conditions,” Cr Blain said.

“So, the message is a simple one. Please take care on the roads, slow down if you have to and remember that potholes can develop quickly after a downpour if the road is already in a bad state.

“There’s a lot of rain forecast next week so the state of the roads is likely to worsen.

“Opportunities to repair the roads will be limited because of the weather so it is vitally important that we are vigilant and aware while on the roads.

“Council also has to maintain its own road network on a tight budget and I understand the saying ‘those who live in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones’. However, the condition of our state-managed roads has deteriorated from poor to dangerous and it’s appropriate to alert people to the risk.”

Cr Blain said the South-West Victoria Alliance of councils was doing what it could to advocate for action on the Princes Highway and Regional Cities Victoria has

called on the state government to invest an additional $2 billion on regional roads.

“We also asking the community to help out by report hazards to the Department of Transport, and the RACV is also conducting a survey which asks people to nominate the three roads that are in bad condition.

“And if you find potholes on council roads, please let us know by calling or lodging a request online at warrnambool.vic.gov.au.”

Financial boost for Tiny Towns projects

PLAYGROUND safety, hall refurbishments and community centre upgrades are all set to receive a cash boost in the latest round of ‘Tiny Towns’ funding.

Over $205,000 in funding has been committed by the state government across six projects in Moyne Shire.

Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the funding announcement was incredibly exciting for the communities of Koroit, Port Fairy, Cudgee, Yambuk, Framlingham and Mortlake.

“Koroit’s open space beautification project will create a community vibe at the Channing Street reserve with a gazebo, picnic tables, trees and garden beds,” Cr Lockett said.

“While on the corner of High Street and McVicar Street there will be planting and public art to enliven the town entrance.

“Creating more accessible open spaces for our community to gather is an epic outcome and will promote social connection, recreation, and wellbeing for our residents.”

A project in Port Fairy, which was submitted as a direct result of community lobbying and need, was also on the receiving end of funding.

“Upgrades to the Port Fairy Community Service Centre will see the development of a great new play space for a new childcare room,” Cr Lockett said.

“We are also looking to add to the service again, as a direct result of community need, for an extra 35-day care places a week.”

Council has also been granted funding

as part of Tiny Towns to investigate improvements and upgrades to the Yambuk rest area which was acknowledged as part of the community consultation into the shire’s Public

Amenities undertaken in 2025. Other projects within Moyne to be part of the funding distribution include hall refurbishments and upgrades for community hubs in Framlingham and

Cudgee.

“Our tiny towns really are the heartbeat of our shire and to have their key projects funded is incredibly special,” Cr Lockett said.

Still no sign of PET scanner

THE long-awaited arrival of a PET scanner for Warrnambool, promised by Labor ahead of the 2022 state election, is yet to be confirmed four years later.

Member for South West Coast Roma Britnell has urged the state government to “come clean” with south-west patients who are awaiting news of its arrival.

“For too long the government has failed to provide clear answers about the longawaited PET scanner for Warrnambool,” she said.

“Here we are four years later and there is still no funding allocation, no

confirmed location and no delivery date. Patients and their families deserve better.”

Ms Britnell said the government’s “inaction” was particularly frustrating given she had facilitated discussions with Lake Imaging, which was prepared to partner with St John of God Warrnambool to build the facility and deliver the service at no additional cost to patients.

“These discussions were held in 2023, a letter was sent to the Minister outlining Lakes Imaging’s offer to deliver the service and the proposed build could have been completed by Easter 2024; that’s more than two years ago,” Ms

Britnell said.

“Lake Imaging has since confirmed it still has a specially trained nuclear medicine technician available to operate a PET scanner in Warrnambool, and the consortium’s proposal remains viable and could still be pursued.

“This is no longer a question of feasibility. It’s a question of political will.

The latest state budget failed to provide funding for the PET scanner, raising further suspicions in the community that it was just an announcement and was never intended to be delivered.”

At a time when cancer patients are still travelling hundreds of kilometres to

access critical diagnostic services, Ms Britnell believes it is becoming clear to the community that “the government never intended to deliver this vital cancer diagnosis equipment.”

“Not only has Labor failed to fund the PET scanner in the 2026 budget, but the Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment has now been delayed until at least April 2028, with no guarantee that deadline will be met.”

Bootcamp for a special cause

LOCAL businessman

Chris Beks is once again preparing to cycle 500 kilometres across Thailand to raise funds for Australian-based charity, ‘Hands Across the Water (Hands).’

Similar to his journey in 2025, Chris will be among a group of cyclists who will head to Thailand in September this year where they will spend five days riding from PAMA House in Chanthaburi to Baan Home Hug in Yasothon.

“We will travel through lush countryside, remote villages and stunning scenery; making memories with people who will become friends for life,” he said.

“Our ride will chart an entirely new course, connecting two of the homes built by Hands and delivering an experience unlike anything created before.”

And as a reward for the hot, tough and humid conditions they’re expecting to face, the group will spend a rest day at the legendary Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

“As a father myself, this charity, Hands Across the Water, is certainly very dear to my heart,” Chris said.

The charity, which began in response to the 2004 tsunami, now supports more than 350

children living in homes across Thailand.

“The kids who live in a Hands home are there because they have no choice,” Chris explained.

“It’s often the result of a heartbreaking situation; whether that be having no known family to care for them, living in an unsafe environment or they have been placed in our care by police or the government.

“Hands also provides life-saving necessities for the kids in the Hands homes and supports many families through an outreach program.”

Participants in the September ride will again fundraise before the event and Chris is hoping locals will get behind a very special Bootcamp planned for his weekend.

“My mate Joshua Suringa will open up his gym, Body Blitzer, for a special ‘Bootcamp for a Cause’ tomorrow (Saturday) where 100 per cent of the funds raised will go towards my fundraising campaign,” Chris said.

“It’s all about providing kids with a better future.”

‘Bootcamp for a Cause’ will be held tomorrow, Saturday, June 20, from 7am-8.30am at Body Blitzer Fitness Centre on Raglan Parade, Warrnambool.

Warrnambool’s Chris Beks is encouraging locals to join this weekend’s bootcamp and help raise money “for a cause bigger than yourself.”

Students excel at Eisteddfod

THIS year’s Warrnambool

Primary Speech and Drama Eisteddfod has been hailed another huge success.

Organisers have this week congratulated and thanked all competitors, staff, parents, volunteers and adjudicator Sharon Holmes for their contributions to this year’s event.

“Without these combined efforts, the truly wonderful celebration of reading, writing, poetry, drama and creative expression would not have benefited so many children,” convenors Jan Nolan, Adele and Damien Webster said.

“Much of the material presented was contemporary, classical and entertaining in nature; embellished by literary prowess by all.

“Some were as young as five, some up to 12 or 13; some individuals and some with partners. It was nurtured in an engaging and supportive setting mostly among peers, school staff and family.”

Over 470 student entries were received from primary schools across the district.

This included West Warrnambool, East Warrnambool, Merrivale, Woolsthorpe, St Pius X, St John’s, St Joseph’s, OLHC Warrnambool, St Thomas’ Terang, St Mary’s Hamilton, and St Anthony’s Alphington.

Award recipients this year included:

Overall individual winner – Rocco Causer, St Mary’s Hamilton; second place Olivia Finnigan, St Joseph’s Warrnambool; third place Maddison Lenehan, St Pius X, Warrnambool.

The winner of the Iris Bickley Perpetual Shield for the overall winning school was St Pius X, Warrnambool.

Woolsthorpe Primary School students Bella Page, Ruby Craig, Holly Askew, Tessa Young, Jack Baily, Xavier Mason, Sophie Beer and Winnie Farrell.

St Pius X students Chloe Harzmeyer and Olivia Dwyer.

Yarn bombing in full flight out West

VISITORS to Pectin Avenue Park were treated to a colourful display among the gum trees last weekend.

To celebrate ‘World Knit in Public Day’ on Saturday, the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House unveiled a vibrant yarn bombing display at the park. Leading up to the event, house crafters and volunteers collaborated to decorate the park’s gum trees with colourful knitted and crocheted designs.

flowers, and butterflies.

Following the outdoor launch, 40 yarn enthusiasts gathered inside the house for afternoon tea and live entertainment.

The community-led installations featured distinct themes, including a Neighbourhood House tree, children’s pom-pom tree, a rainbow pride tree, an Indigenous-themed tree, and a nature tree adorned with colourful bugs, lizards,

Attendees enjoyed fresh barista coffee while being entertained by the West Side Singers, a group of young performers from Warrnambool West Primary School led by music teacher Merran Moir, followed by

local musician Gabby Steel. West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House runs regular knitting and crochet classes and welcomes newcomers of all skill levels.

The creative park installations will remain on display until the end of July, and all community members are encouraged to visit.

SALEYARD REPORT

Hamilton agents yarded 5,100 lambs, down 3,400, and 2,900 sheep, down 400, compared to last week.

Lamb quality at the top end was generally good, with many grain-supplemented lines presented.

However, overall quality was mixed, and plainer types fell away more sharply this week.

As a result, there was a larger tail of lambs suited to restocking or further feeding at the lower end.

Not all regular buyers were present or fully active, and competition remained selective.

Very good medium and light trade lambs improved $10 to $15, while most other categories held firm.

Trade lambs averaged between 1,070c and 1,350c/kg cwt, with a top price of $405 per head.

Lambs suitable for feeding generally sold from $216 to $293,

with some heavier better bred lambs stronger by $20 per head. Light lambs weighing 12 to 16kg sold from $175 to $226 per head.

Trade lambs weighing 18 to 22kg made $232 to $269 per head, while those in the 22 to 26kg range sold from $255 to $327 per head.

Heavy trade lambs ranged from $318 to a top of $405 per head, and hoggets reached up to $299 per head.

Sheep prices remained firm overall, with some lighter Merino sheep improving by up to $20 per head to average between 800 and 960c/kg cwt.

Crossbred ewes sold to $296, Merino wethers to $270, and Merino ewes with skin to $243.

Terminal rams made $120 and Merino rams $109

City to host Aboriginal carnival

WARRNAMBOOL will welcome up to 4000 players, officials and supporters this October for a major Aboriginal football and netball carnival.

The Victorian Aboriginal Community Services Association Ltd will bring its state-wide senior football netball carnival to the city, with teams expected to travel from across Victoria and interstate.

Matches will take place across Reid Oval, Mack Oval and Walter Oval.

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said council was proud to support the event.

“With Reconciliation Week just a short time ago and the launch of council’s Reconciliation Strategy and Action Plan, we are excited to be able to continue the

momentum with the confirmation of this major event,” he said.

“One of the key focus areas of the strategy is empowering First Nations people to thrive and to strengthen health, wellbeing, inclusion and cultural safety.

“This is an opportunity for us to put our words into actions and we are proud to play host to what will be a massive weekend of sport and a celebration of Aboriginal culture.

“Over the weekend of October 10 and 11 some of the best Aboriginal footballers and netballers in the nation will be in Warrnambool.

“The carnival will also provide a boost to the local economy while reinforcing Warrnambool’s reputation as a premier destination for regional sporting events.”

VACSAL community development officer June Bamblett said the carnival plays an important role in bringing communities together in a safe and respectful environment.

“This carnival is about connection, culture and community pride,” she said.

“It provides a positive platform for Aboriginal people of all ages to come together through sport, while promoting healthy lifestyles in a safe, alcohol and drug-free environment.

“We’re excited to bring the event to Warrnambool and look forward to a fantastic weekend of football, netball and community spirit.”

Further details, including team registrations and event schedules, will be released by VACSAL in the coming months.

Results from round eight:

Gareth Spring was Glengleeson’s best with two rubbers.

St Helens def Broadwater 8.24-3.13.

With both Ally and Aaron Rowbottom winning their three rubbers, it set up their win over Broadwater.

Gareth and Linton Price were best for Glengleeson, winning two rubbers each.

Warrnambool Warriors defeated Broadwater 11.330.12.

This game was not as one sided as the scoreline may indicate.

Eight of the 11 rubbers were extended.

Neil opened the night, defeating Peter Drendel 11-13, 11-6, 8-11, 11-8 and 11-7.

HAVE you ever wanted to get back on the netball court (or try for the first time) but felt unable to keep up?

Walking netball could be just the perfect fit.

The Warrnambool netball stadium is offering anyone interested in trying this sport the opportunity to take to the

courts during two ‘come and try walking netball’ sessions during the school holidays.

The sessions will be open to both females and males from the age of 15 and will run from 6pm on Tuesday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 7.

It is hoped a competition can be created in the near future (night to be confirmed).

Walking netball is a modified version of the traditional game that is fully inclusive, allowing anyone to participate regardless of their age, fitness level, ability or previous netball experience.

As the name implies, walking netball is a slower version of the game, performed at a walking pace.

Walking netball has a strong emphasis on getting people to participate in an

enjoyable, safe environment rather than focusing on the competitive aspect.

Netball Victoria has also made it easy for walking netball players to participate, with a $21 cost-effective membership for the year.

For further information on the upcoming ‘come and try’ sessions phone Marg Morgan at Warrnambool City Netball on 5562 4868.
