International awards for library

THE Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre has won two prestigious international architecture awards. Designed by Kosloff Architecture, the recently constructed Warrnambool library was the Jury Winner in the libraries category of the Architizer A+ Awards, with judges selecting it above projects in the United States, Taiwan, France, Canada and China.

It was also named the Popular Choice winner in the Architecture + Learning category.

Now in its 11th year, the Architizer A+ Awards is the world’s largest awards program for architecture and spaces.

Warrnambool acting mayor Max Taylor said it was a major achievement for Warrnambool to be recognised on such a major global platform.

“The library and learning centre is a place that the local community has instantly embraced and years from now it will be hard to imagine what Warrnambool was like without it,” he said.

“We congratulate Kosloff Architects. Their bold architectural vision has been executed masterfully by A.W. Nicholson and the many tradespeople involved, and now everyone can enjoy the benefits.

“It was a tremendous partnership between council, the Victorian Government and South West TAFE.

“The community had a big say in the new library too, so thank you to everyone who took part in the various consultation phases that have led to such an outstanding result.

“I’m proud to say that the library functions as good as it looks, with over 3000 new members joining since it opened in October while visitor numbers are up 127 per cent, loans are up 20 per cent and program participation a staggering 535 per cent compared to the same time last year.”

Kosloff Architecture director Julian Kosloff said it was amazing for the library to be recognised internationally.

“These buildings don’t come together without a remarkable team effort and it’s testament to a really strong stakeholder engagement process,” he said.

The Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre has also been shortlisted for an Australian Interior Design Award and three AIA Victorian Architectural Awards, with the winners to be announced later this month.

Lyndoch to close May Noonan

LYNDOCH Living has officially announced its plans to close the May Noonan Aged Care facility in Terang, with current residents given the opportunity to join its Warrnambool-based residential accommodation.

After months of speculation surrounding the future of the May Noonan Aged Care Facility and Warrnambool’s Primary Care Centre, Lyndoch Living board chair Sue Cassidy and acting chief executive officer Jill Davidson told The Warrnambool Weekly the decision had been a difficult one but the future of the facility was untenable.

Ms Cassidy confirmed steps had been taken to sell May Noonan over the past few months but attempts to reach an agreement with other aged care providers were unsuccessful.

“Other aged care providers were invited to have a look and engage in negotiations, but that was as far as it went,” she said.

“The Board had to think hard about the future of the facility, our employees and most importantly its residents but the decision was ultimately made that we would have to close down May Noonan.”

Ms Cassidy stressed there would be no timeline on the decision to close the facility until every resident is adequately cared for.

She stated there was sufficient rooms available to accommodate current May Noonan residents at Lyndoch Living’s Warrnambool residences, and any resident wanting to move on to a new aged care provider would be fully supported through that process should they choose.

May Noonan will remain open and operational until every resident has found new accommodation arrangements.

“This is not ideal, and it doesn’t feel nice to have to make this decision,” Ms Cassidy said.

“But we want to stress we are only making this decision because Lyndoch Living can take every resident.

“There will not be a situation we have seen with other aged care providers closing where residents do not have a home to go to.

“We have spoken to our residents and their families, informed them they will have a place with Lyndoch Living, and we also understand they may look at other providers if they want to stay in a rural area.”

Acting CEO Jill Davidson said the decision had been made due to both a lack of available staffing in Terang, and a lack of funding required to get the existing May Noonan facility up to operational standards.

“With the problems of staffing we had to become reliant on agency staff, which is expensive and difficult to maintain,” she said.

“This created gaps in staffing, and with only 18 residents it was too hard to keep running below 50 per cent capacity.

Ms Davidson said Wednesday (May 31) was the first day of planning a consultation period with residents and family, staff, unions, council, local MPs

and stakeholders.

“This is a complex process that will not happen overnight,” she said.

“We have plenty of beds at Lyndoch Living, we’re not in same position as others which have closed down with residents not having anywhere to go. We do, and all our residents will be cared for until appropriate accommodation arrangements can be made.”

Ms Davidson said she believed a sale of the existing facility was unsuccessful as many of the issues May Noonan faced would be inherited by another provider.

“Infrastructure has been the biggest issue,” she said.

“May Noonan has small rooms, joining en suites and it would take a fair bit to upgrade.

“With the health and mobility of residents at the forefront of care, the rooms are just too small, the hallways too narrow to accommodate lifting machines and there is no capital funding to redevelop the facility.”

Ms Davidson said the future of the facility could involve a sale to another business seeking accommodation options, but stressed it could be years before any formal decision was made and any sale finalised.

Member for South West Coast Roma Britnell released a statement on Wednesday saying she had been in contact with Lyndoch Living board chair Sue Cassidy.

“The closure of the May Noonan Centre is devastating news for residents and their families and the broader Terang Community,” she said.

“I feel for residents and their families who will want to be close to their loved ones in care, and who now face the prospect of no longer having them close by in their community.

“The community worked hard for many years to ensure Terang had this facility available to its locals and they will be rightly upset to see it now closing.

“It is an unavoidable truth that this is a result of the challenges Lyndoch has found itself in over the last few years, and the pressures being felt in the aged care sector, particularly in staffing.”

Mack’s legacy continues legacy continues

WARRNAMBOOL’S South West Healthcare is on track to open a bereavement room for its maternity unit.

Sadly, such a room is desperately needed by couples and families far and wide who, currently, are often faced with the added trauma of needing to deliver their baby surrounded by the sounds of crying newborns and celebrations.

Bec and Damien Pemberton are one such couple who, three years ago, were faced with the heartache of saying hello and goodbye to their precious little son Mack, all on the one day.

And having to do this while surrounded by the natural celebrations and joy that usually follow the arrival of a newborn, only adds to the heartache and profound sense of loss and grief.

“A bereavement room is so important and will, sadly, benefit so many people from across the district and beyond in their time of grief,” Bec said.

“There’s nothing more heartbreaking than the loss of a child or a newborn.

“Imagine finding out your baby has a severe health condition, is dying or has died in your tummy. You may have had to undergo a medical termination and then need to be induced to birth your baby,” Bec said.

“Walking into the maternity ward at the hospital, down the corridors full of happy visitors carrying balloons and bouquets is heartbreaking; hallways full of the sounds of birthing women and screaming newborns.

“You have to be there because you need the midwives and the doctors; you have nowhere else to go.

“They put you in a room where you spend the next day or two labouring to the sounds of newborns before your baby is born silent.”

This was Bec and Damien’s journey on May 29, 2020.

It is this that led the Pemberton’s on their quest to successfully raise $10,000 to purchase a cuddle cot through Bears of Hope late in 2020 in honour of Mack – and they are now calling on the community to support them and South West Healthcare to raise funds for a bereavement room.

The cuddle cot is a cooling system that has been designed to fit within a shnuggel basket and lies beneath the baby, allowing families the choice to spend more time with their baby who has passed away.

‘Mack’s cot’ has been of comfort to many families to date, and the Pemberton’s are now asking the community to get behind them once again to raise funds towards SWH’s new bereavement room.

“Every hospital needs a bereavement suite and we’re so pleased that Warrnambool is doing just that,” Bec said.

“The suite will be away from the sounds of birth and the celebrations. It will allow birth, medical treatments and grief to be done in private. For the families who will come next, this will give them the support they desperately need and deserve.”

According to South West Healthcare community partnerships manager, Suzan Morey, the hospital is

now finalising the planning stage of this initiative. She confirmed SWH would develop, during 202324, a bereavement room for its maternity unit at Warrnambool.

“It’s expected to cost close to $100,000 to redevelop, fit-out and equip the space we have chosen,” Ms Morey said.

“We’d love to hear from anyone who would like to help us with this very special cause.”

For the month of June, Bec and Damien are donating 10 per cent of all profits from every job completed through their company, Pembo’s Carpet Care.

Bec can be contacted on 0439 036 691 or, to make a direct donation for the bereavement suite, contact South West Healthcare Warrnambool.

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

From the Mayor:

At the May Council meeting we released our draft budget for the coming financial year.

The $58 million draft budget is reflective of the economic pressures every household and business faces across the shire and proposes a capital works program of $24.1 million including $14.1 million to spend on the local road network. It also proposes a 3.5 per cent rate rise was in line with the State Government Rate Cap and has been prepared on the basis of being financially responsible, in line with our Council Plan, and takes into consideration the financial pressures Council and the entire community are facing. Over the past year Council has seen significant cost increases in fuel for plant and equipment, construction materials and general costs of doing business have all risen significantly.

The community expects us to continue to deliver services and as a Council we remain committed to providing our community with the services it needs and expects.But we must do it in a way that represents best value for money for our ratepayers.

A new skate park and a district level play space in Port Fairy are key community projects we are keen to progress, and this budget allocation should provide the community with some assurance they are a priority.

There is also $180,000 allocated for roof repairs and painting at the much-loved Koroit Theatre which is a vital community space that has regular use as well as funding to upgrade our visitor amenities at our caravan parks. There is also funding to resurface the netball and tennis courts at the Mortlake Recreation Reserve.

We are making another big effort to improve our road network with a $14.1 million allocation and upgrades planned right across the shire including the Willatook – Warrong Road, Ibbs Lane, Cooramook Road and the Minjah – Hawkesdale Road.

We will also complete the Remote Road Pilot Program works in the Chatsworth and Woorndoo areas which have been funded by the Federal Government with a contribution from Council.

Also included is a $500,000 Future Fund. As a group, this is something we put forward to make sure future Councils have something they can draw on when needed. we put it forward and said this is something we want to do as a bit of a rainy-day fund

The draft budget is now open for community feedback – you can view the documents and leave your feedback online until Tuesday June 6 via www.moyne.vic.gov.au/ your-say/Budget23

The budget documents can also be viewed at Council’s Customer Service Centres in Mortlake and Port Fairy or at the Port Fairy Regional Visitor Information Centre and at Corangamite Moyne Library Service branches in Mortlake, Koroit and Port Fairy.

Submissions can also be posted addressed to the Chief Executive Office, Moyne Shire Council, PO Box 51, Port Fairy, Victoria, 3284.

All submissions will be considered by Councillors before the budget is considered at the Council meeting on June 27.

Legacy celebrates centenary

SINCE 1923 Legacy has been helping the families of Australian Defence Force (ADF) men and women who have lost their lives or their health as a result of their service.

Founded on a promise made from one digger to another – to “look after the missus and the kids”Legacy is this year celebrating its centenary.

To commemorate the special milestone a ‘Legacy torch’ will now spend six months travelling Australia, stopping wherever there is an active branch.

“The centenary relay is a six-month campaign to pay homage and acknowledge veterans’ families, saluting their sacrifice,” Warrnambool Legacy member Charmian Morris said.

“Legacy is an iconic Australian charity that does so much wonderful work caring for 43,000 veterans’ families, including widows in their senior years, younger widows and children, partners and children of those veterans who have given their health.

“Legacy strives to ensure that those in their care can fully realise their potential.”

Warrnambool Legacy was formed in 1947 and has continued to be there for the families of those who served and sacrificed, providing support their partners and children.

“We strive to ensure no person faces social isolation. Legacy has clubs such as ours, local events, holidays and camps where widows, children and families can come together, bond and create friendships,” Charmian said.

“Our Warrnambool group has members from all over the district, including Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Cobden, Camperdown, Timboon, Lismore, Mortlake, Terang and many surrounding towns.

“It’s wonderful to be able to not only promote the work of Legacy across the community but to encourage people to join as volunteers to help ensure Legacy continues well into the future.”

the lead-up to ANZAC Day, then travelled to London where it was greeted by King Charles before heading to Australia.

It is currently on a six-month tour of our shores and is anticipated to arrive in Warrnambool on Wednesday September 13.

The torch will travel more than 50,000 kilometres, through 100 stops, carried by around 1500 torch bearers – with an aim to raise over $10 million.

“It’s amazing to hear how many people are involved

with the relay,” Charmian said.

“This year is a very special one for Legacy and we also hope that by increasing awareness of the wonderful assistance Legacy has provided, and will continue to provide, we can also attract more volunteers.

“It would be wonderful to have more young people involved; they are our future so it’s important that Legacy continues for another 100 years and beyond.”

More details of the torch arrival in Warrnambool will be known closer to the date.

Kayak pontoon now open

WARRNAMBOOL’S Merri River is now accessible to people of all abilities with the opening of the kayak pontoon on Woodend Road.

The floating pontoon has all-ability access which provides for people of limited mobility and wheelchairs to access the waterway for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and other recreational activities.

The pontoon has been installed by Warrnambool City Council through the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority’s (CMA) Merri Connections Projects, which has been funded by the Victorian Government through the Recreational Water Values Program.

The $400,000 funding also supports enhanced pedestrian access to the Merri River through the construction of all-weather walking track paths and seating on top of the floating pontoon.

Glenelg Hopkins Catchment CMA chief executive officer (CEO) Adam Bester said being able to work in partnership with Warrnambool City Council to deliver a public facility like the pontoon was a positive thing. “Being able to help people connect with the Merri River through projects such as this is very exciting,” Mr Bester said.

“Projects like this have so many benefits – it improves the waterway, but also improves access to it for so many members of the community.”

Warrnambool City Council CEO Andrew Mason said the new kayak launch facility was a recommendation from the South of Merri Precinct Plan, which aims to create a more connected neighbourhood where the local environment can be both enjoyed and protected. “Kayaking is an excellent example of an activity that is a lot of fun, is great exercise and also fosters an appreciation for the river and the natural environment,” he said.

“Sometimes the hardest part about kayaking is getting in and out of the water, especially if you have

mobility challenges.

“The sit and launch kayak facility is a big part of improving this, but it goes hand in hand with the ramp, the footpaths and the car parking to make an activity like kayaking accessible for more people.”

The support for the project came not only through the Victorian Government funding, but also the Eastern

Maar Aboriginal Corporation, which collaborated on the project.

Now the kayak launch facility is open, Mr Bester and Mr Mason said work on a new fishing pontoon about 150 metres upstream would begin, while connected concrete paths along the walking track of the Merri should be soon completed.

Doggies have their day

PANMURE Recreation Reserve is set to undergo vital upgrades after taking home $100,000 in funding in last week’s Victorian budget.

Labor Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora visited the reserve last week to formally announce the funding, which had been pledged as an election commitment in 2022.

Ms Ermacora said the funding would provide a boost for the Panmure Bulldogs Football Netball Club and the AllansfordPanmure Cricket Club, as both clubs use the facility.

“This is a thriving, active hub which is important to the community and districts in and around Panmure,” she said.

“It’s important clubs have good facilities so they can provide a great sporting and social

experience for members and community members alike.

“Sport is not only important for health but it’s important socially, and often a football netball club is the centre of a local community and a base from which a lot of other initiatives emerge.

“It’s very important to deliver this funding, particularly for the leaders of these clubs who have initiated so much positivity.”

The untethered funding will allow the cash to be spent as needed.

Panmure Football Netball Club president Phil Mahony said no formal plans had been made but the redevelopment of the kitchen and canteen area would be prioritised. The relocation of the on-site playground and improved access to the facility with a new ramp and stairs could also be

delivered.

“Our plans are still unfolding but we have a few things we’re looking at,” Mr Mahony said.

“Kitchen renovations is a key one to improve the access and so forth as the kitchen is an important part of the club with teas on Thursday and Saturday nights.

“We’re keen to get that as good as we can.”

Mr Mahony said the funding was a welcome addition after the reserve had struggled with flooding in recent years.

“We’re extremely happy,” he said.

“These sorts of things don’t come that often, and we didn’t particularly request anything, so to have the funding offered is great.

“We’ve had some trouble with the floods so we’ve got quite a

few things to be done there.”

During the visit Ms Ermacora received a walkthrough of the areas which had been most heavily impacted by flooding events over the last 12 years.

The grounds sustained damage in October 2022 and early 2011 due to the swelling of the neighbouring Mt Emu Creek, and was also threated by flooding in September 2016.

“Having a look around, it’s clear the river has an effect on the current facilities,” Ms Ermacora said.

“Even if it’s only once every 10 years, that still takes a fair amount of damage.

“The club members are hoping these upgrades can provide not only the facility this community deserves, but also provide mitigation works.”

BEING a part of the work team at Worn Gundidj Nursery has enabled John to turn his life around.

Having gone through “a rough patch” in his youth, John credits his employment at the nursery as the reason behind his new, healthier and more active lifestyle.

“I had a few pretty bad years and went through drug and alcohol rehab but I’m proud to say I’ve been clean now for three years, I have my drivers’ licence and even have my own car,” John said.

“I’m very thankful for this job and for the people I work with every day; they’re a great bunch who always make me laugh and have helped me through a lot.

“I really enjoy working here and I love being able to share my knowledge of bush tucker with our customers. Being outdoors is really good for the soul; being out in nature is good for us all.”

John’s favourite plant is the Prostanthera – a ‘minty’ native that, according to John, has a rather ‘funny smell’ but is extremely tasty when mixed with other herbs and used on kangaroo steaks and other dishes.

“I harvest this, dry out the

leaves and use it with some of my favourite recipes,” he said.

“Like many other herbs, it has multiple uses and I encourage everyone to give it a try.”

John and the nursery team at Worn Gundidj encourage visitors to spice up their cuisine with native Indigenous flavours.

Worn Gundidj not only has a vibrant nursery on site in Rooneys Road, it also supplies quality, bulk bush food products.

“We like to see people trying out our Australian alternatives to traditional herbs, spices and fruit flavours to give their dishes a unique twist,” John said.

The First Peoples-led bush foods business and online store focuses on delivering authentic native food and products from those in the know.

With everything from fruits and vegetables through to herbs, spices, grains, seeds and desserts, the range on offer is both high quality and affordable.

“We take great pride in our work and what we offer our customers and we’re all happy to share our knowledge of bush tucker,” John said.

To learn more about the range, simply call in and talk to the team at 1-3 Rooneys Road, Warrnambool, or shop online at www.worngundidj.org.au

Koroit goes for gold

KOROIT residents have the chance to show their love for their hometown by voting in this year’s Victorian Top Tourist Town Awards.

The Irish village has been nominated in the small town category of the Victorian Tourism Industry Council Awards, with public voting now open.

Moyne Shire mayor Karen Foster said Koroit’s Irish charm and heritage, its natural beauty and its exceptional dining experiences made it a tourist gem.

“Koroit offers so much – from the natural environment at Tower Hill where you are almost guaranteed to see an emu, koala or a kangaroo, to the heritage buildings, the beautiful botanic gardens and the fantastic railway station precinct with its playground and skatepark,” she said.

“It also has a great dining experience with two fantastic pubs with charm and character, Noodledoof Brewery and Distillery for great beer and gin and then Izzy’s or the Little Thai House for a fantastic meal.

“On top of all that, it’s a great community – visitors are always made to feel welcome and that’s always evident when the town hosts its fantastic events, including the hugely popular Irish Festival and Truck Show and the agricultural society show which has been running for more than 100 years.”

Cr Foster said she hoped local residents and the wider Moyne community would get on board and cast a vote for Koroit.

“For the past two years Port Fairy has won this category thanks to the fantastic support of the community – now we need to make sure Moyne stays at the top of the tourist tree and gets

gold for Koroit,” she said. “These awards help us to sell the whole Moyne region to a huge audience through increased inquiries to the regional visitor information centre, so a win would ensure we can continue to promote Moyne as a great place to visit – from the coast through to the volcanic lakes and

Flood investigation session

LOCAL residents are invited to a community information session on the progress of the South Warrnambool Flood Investigation.

The session, to be held Wednesday, June 7 will provide residents with another opportunity to be involved in the flood mapping process and to assist in “ground truthing” historical event mapping.

The flood investigation of riverine and storm tide (oceanic) flooding for South Warrnambool is a joint project between council and the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority (GHCMA), with consultants Venant Solutions engaged to provide specialist expertise and advice.

Warrnambool acting mayor Cr Max Taylor said the session would start with a formal presentation from a Venant Solutions representative who will explain the flood model, the use of data and how it translates into flood maps.

Attendees will then be invited to provide feedback on the draft maps.

“Local knowledge is invaluable and a flood investigation in a lower-lying urban area such as South Warrnambool is a vital part of the planning process and informs floodrelated planning controls,” Cr Taylor said.

“It provides detailed information about the nature of flood risk including the distribution, extent, depths, levels and velocity of floodwaters for a range for storm events

including historic and design flood events.”

Next week’s session will start at 6pm and will be held at the Merrivale Football Netball Club.

“We understand not everyone will be able to attend the meeting so we’ll make the draft maps and related information available on council’s community engagement website www.yoursaywarrnambool.com.au,” Cr Taylor said.

“People will be able to provide online feedback from May 31 to June 14.”

Residents can also get in touch with council’s city strategy team on 5559 4800 or via email: planning@ warrnambool.vic.gov.au

For all your lawn & landscaping needs

The

recent Koroit Irish Festival is just one of many community events that makes the town – a finalist in this year’s

Victorian

Top Tourist Town Awards - such a popular one. 2023E

Students head to Cattery

The students were given an opportunity to pull on their boots and run on to the GMHBA Stadium ground during half-time of the Cats versus Greater Western Sydney match on Saturday.

For several students, this was the first time they had watched an AFL match.

The school is grateful for the support of Shane Bell, Aboriginal Community Development Broker/First Peoples State Relations Group who was instrumental in obtaining tickets and funding for the bus.

He was magnificent in supporting the school in obtaining the tickets and funding for the bus. We cannot thank him enough for setting us up and maintaining constant contact and encouragement.

A thank you also goes to the teachers who attended on the day.

TWENTY students from Warrnambool West Primary School headed to the Cattery in Geelong last weekend for an up-close encounter with the AFL.

Vote for Warrnambool

VOTING is now open for this year’s Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards –and Warrnambool has been named a finalist.

Now is your chance to support your town and cast your vote.

The city is a finalist in the ‘Town with a population over 5,000’ category and Warrnambool acting mayor Cr Max Taylor is this week urging everyone to cast their vote on the Victorian Tourism Industry Council website and help Warrnambool get the recognition it deserves.

“It’s terrific that the judging panel has named Warrnambool as one of the finalists,” Cr Taylor said.

“For anyone planning a holiday, Warrnambool really does have it all.

“It’s the perfect blend of a relaxed seaside location with all of the amenities you could ever need.

“As the regional capital of the Great South Coast, we have an array of dining, retail and accommodation choices to suit all travellers and our CBD is located just a stones-throw from the foreshore area.”

Bordered by the Merri and Hopkins rivers, along with the ocean, there’s no shortage of great places to cast a line, whether that’s from a pontoon or in a boat. The town’s Visitor Information Centre regularly helps out tourists to find the best spot to land the perfect catch.

“There’s always a reason to visit the beach, whether it’s to swim or surf in summer, whale watch in winter or to take in a stunning sunset at Thunder Point in autumn –I’ve lived here my whole life and the majesty of our coastline never ceases to leave

me in awe,” Cr Taylor said.

“We’re home to world-class events like the May Racing Carnival, the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic and the Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic, while major attractions like Flagstaff Hill and the hot springs cater for tourists yearround.”

Speaking with visitors, Cr Taylor said he often hears hear how great Warrnambool is for families.

“As locals we can sometimes take places like Lake Pertobe for granted, but when people from further afield see it for the first time, especially following last year’s upgrade, they can’t believe how amazing it is,” he said.

“And when you’ve got the beach just there, the skate park, the BMX track, the Merri River and soon a new basketball court, it’s a really unique precinct that we should be really proud of as a city.

“So help Warrnambool get the recognition it deserves as a top tourist town, and encourage your friends and family who love our city to also cast their votes.”

To vote, visit www.vtic.com.au/toptourismtown from June 1.

Voting will close on Thursday, June 22.

Vote 1 Warrnambool: with so much to see and do, Warrnambool is a vibrant town to stay, play and live.

Celebration day for Kelly Swamp

TWO natural wetlands near Warrnambool are getting some long-overdue recognition.

The importance of Kelly and Saltwater swamps will be celebrated on Saturday June 10 with the launch of a new booklet that traces their history and more recent volunteer work to monitor their biodiversity.

The booklet follows two years of surveys that have highlighted the importance of the wetlands to native bird species.

The surveys and booklet have been coordinated by the Warrnambool Coastal Landcare Network with funding from Parks Victoria’s Volunteer Innovation Fund.

Warrnambool and District Landcare Facilitator Geoff Rollinson said the project was designed to encourage volunteers and community groups to discover the attraction of Kelly Swamp and the nearby Saltwater Swamp and spread their charms to the broader community.

“We recognise that to many members of the community Kelly Swamp is largely unknown and underappreciated,” Mr Rollinson said.

“The project aimed to conduct surveys that engaged people from the community and from that perspective it has already been very successful.”

School groups, the Green Futures group and the Warrnambool St Ayles Skiff Community Rowing Club were among those involved as “citizen scientists” in the surveys.

Project team members have noted that Warrnambool has largely ‘turned its back’ on the two wetlands since European settlement.

However, with the nearby rail trail, the development of the Belfast Coastal Reserve Management Plan and the upcoming removal of the Midfield Meat processing facility, the wetland has come more into the public mind.

The project seeks to promote that the wetlands are nationally significant, with high values for geomorphologic and ecological features and conservation importance. This is expected to help change public perceptions and increase understanding of this neglected area by collecting and celebrating its ecological values.

The wetlands area is owned by three different farms and cattle graze in the area, although much of the area is managed by Parks Victoria for conservation purposes. About 160 bird species have been previously recorded around Kelly Swamp.

The 2022-23 surveys detected 50 of these species and added one more to the list – the White-bellied Sea Eagle.

The booklet, ‘Skiffs, Schools and Scales - The Flora and Fauna of Kelly and Saltwater Swamps,’ was compiled by Kirsty Hawkes with the assistance of Nature Glenelg Trust Ecologist Lachie Farrington and Mr Rollinson.

The community is invited to attend the celebration and booklet launch at 11am next Saturday, June 10 at 60 Millers Lane, Dennington and can RSVP for catering purposes to facilitator@wcln.org.au by June 7.

“We hope more members of the community will get out and experience a natural area that is so close but so unknown,” Mr Rollinson said.

The project was completed in partnership with Nature Glenelg Trust, Deakin University, Parks Victoria, Warrnambool City Council and St Ayles Community Skiff Rowing Club.

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s YARDING 326 CHANGE 24 less

Similar numbers to last week’s Camperdown market with 320 cattle yarded today. The quality was very plain with only a small proportion of top cows of offer with the balance being more secondary types. Only a handful of steers and young cattle were penned where cows made up the majority. Not all buyers were in attendance in a very soft market back some 30 to 40c/kg in places when compared to last week.

Grown heifers sold to 234c/kg and were mainly dairy bred. A small number of beef cows made to 230c/kg. The better dairy cows to the trade made from 130c to 215c/kg with the medium weights 100c to 135c/kg with the plainer lightweights from 50c to 100c/kg. Beef bulls topped at 200c and dairy types 180c/kg.

Round five junior hockey action

ROUND five of the Hockey South West autumn competition saw some great matches played last weekend. As teams begin to prepare for the upcoming finals, players are taking advantage of Wednesday night training sessions in Warrnambool. Hockey South West president Paul Dillon said the sessions were proving beneficial, with many players showing improvement each week.

“Our mid-week training sessions are really taking off and it’s great to see so many kids there having a go and working on their skills,” Paul said.

“We will continue those sessions during the upcoming school holidays, starting at 5.15pm on Wednesdays.”

Timmy qualifies for state event

ALLANSFORD

Primary student

Timmy Boyd has qualified for the SSV State Cross Country championships.

The year six student qualified for the 11 year boys division, to be held at the Yarra Valley Racing Club on July 13, As a student leader, Timmy shares his love of running with his peers and school ‘buddies’.

A highlight of his preparation for the upcoming competition has been teaching his

Foundation ‘buddy’

Ronnie the skill of cross-country running and preparing him for his junior event next week.

“I’m really excited to teach him what I really love to do and see him take it all on board,” Timmy said.

Timmy has worked extremely hard training at school and in his own time to continually beat his personal best and achieve his running goals.

His enthusiasm and determination along with his grit and skill was clear at the end of each level of qualification.

Tigers top of District table

MERRIVALE’S dominance in the Warrnambool District League continued last weekend with a 145-point win over Dennington.

The Tigers remain undefeated on top of the league ladder after Saturday’s crushing victory over the Dogs.

Playing in front of their home crowd, the Tigers got off to a great start, booting seven goals in the first term, and by half-time had a handy 41-point lead.

Dennington’s struggles in its forward 50 continued in the second half, making little impact on the scoreboard, finishing the day on 6.2.38 while the home side kicked 28.15.183.

Best for the Tigers were Dylan Weir, Sam Gleeson, Tate Porter, Jye Wilson, Eli Barker and Wilson Lenehan.

Weir bagged 13 goals for the Tigers and was well supported by Wilson with

Lenehan and Paulin leading MVP

SOUTH Rovers footballer

Kurt Lenehan and Nirranda’s John Paulin currently sit at the top of Warrnambool and District's MVPleaderboard, both on 13 points.

Now eight rounds into the 2023 season, the league earlier this week released details of the MVP board in both senior football and A grade netball.

Russells Creek netballer Hannah Van Zyl is currently on top with 17 points.

The football MVP leaderboard currently stands as follows:

Kurt Lenehan (South Rovers)

four, Hamish Gurry (2) and Bradley Bell, Jayden Brooks, Sam Gleeson, Billy Hancocks, Jack Neave, Zade Neave, Jalen Porter, Tate Porter and Manny Sandow.

Best players for the visitors were Tom Fitzgerald, Jake Hamilton, Jordan Garner, Lewis Campbell-Gavin, Brandon Barton and Joshua Keen.

Leigh McKane and Tom Noonan Jnr kicked two each while Tom Fitzgerald and Jordan Garner also contributed one apiece to the scoreboard.

Other Warrnambool District winners last weekend were South Rovers, Russells Creek, Nirranda and Panmure. With just percentage separating second from fourth on the reserves ladder, Merrivale was keen to hold on to third spot and was able to do that following a 102-point win last weekend. Final scores were Merrivale 16.18.114 to Dennington 2.0.0.

Jaxon Johnstone, Matt Webster, Jacob Henderson, Denny Carter, Jayden Brown and Charlie McDonald were best for the winning side.

Trent Murphy kicked three for the Tigers, James Barling, Jaxon Johnstone and Lachlan Swayn each added two majors, while goals also came from Emanuel Andrawos, Denny Carter, Lachlan Hinkley, Wil Hinkley, Jaxon Madden, Charlie McDonald and Lachlan Peters.

Best for Dennington were Joseph Heffernan, Anthony Rook, Mitchell McLaren, John Vincent, Harrison Fleming and Jed Rodgers.

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

13, John Paulin (Nirranda) 13, Tate Porter (Merrivale) 12, Fred Beasley (Kolora Noorat) 12, Sam Gleeson (Merrivale) 11, Sandon Williams (South Rovers) 11, Harry Hall (Old Collegians) 9, Marcus Hickey (Timboon Demons) 9, Luke Pearson (Dennington) 9, Jyah Chatfield (Russells Creek) 8 and Tyler Murnane (Panmure) 8.

Orford table tennis

THE lack of reserves available to step up for unavailable players was highlighted again this week at Orford and District Table Tennis.

Both Port Fairy and Tarrone have suffered in consecutive weeks - anyone interested in putting their name forward to play can contact the association. It is an easy tipping week with all top teams playing those lower with no upsets in sight.

The ladder remains unchanged, but interestingly because Orford have lost mostly 6-5 they have the highest game total outside the top three sitting in sixth.

For week seven Warrnambool Vikings will continue their winning way when they face Orford Vikings.

Warrnambool Warriors should defeat Tarrone, making it two in a row for the

home teams.

If Port Fairy can bring their whole team to the game they should win against Myndarra but in recent weeks they have been missing players and forced to play short.

Attunga should be singing a happy tune on the way home after their game against Glengleeson.

Results from week six: Tarrone forfeited to Warrnambool Vikings while Orford defeated Glengleeson 7.25 to 4.14.

Orford’s Russell Hussey won his three rubbers, while they were close to adding to their score when David Rowbottom lost two of his rubbers in five games, the longest against Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring 16-18, 12-10, 9-11, 11-8 and 8-11.

The loss to Bill Lyon was shorter 6-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-8 and 8-11.

Orford won both the doubles while Jaydan Clapp won the other rubber.

Port Fairy lost to Warrnambool Warriors 1.4-10.30.

Ray Young was Port Fairy’s shining light when he defeated Warrnambool Warriors’ Marshall Worthington and both Neil Ford and Peter Owen won their three rubbers.

Warriors won the doubles and rounded out the match.

Myndarra kept themselves in close contact with Attunga by winning both doubles but with Aaron Rowbottom winning his three rubbers, they just couldn’t find that extra rubber to get them over the line.

Myndarra was fortunate to come from two games down in the first doubles to win 3-11, 5-11, 11-5, 11-8 and 11-8.

Apart from the doubles no other rubber was extended.

Results from week five:

Warrnambool Vikings defeated Port Fairy 11.33-0.2.

Port Fairy only had two players due to illness and the lack of available reserves, not only for Port Fairy but also all the teams.

The other challenge from this game was the normal power failure - can’t see the ball in the dark!

Warrnambool Vikings’ Tess Lee played the only two extended rubbers winning both, against Tony Storer 15-13, 10-12, 11-3 and 11-1 and later against Ray Young 11-9, 11-8, 11-9 and 11-7.

The unofficial ladder is as follows: Warrnambool Vikings 24 points, 56 rubbers, 175 games; Attunga 20, 43, 142; Warrnambool Warriors 16, 41, 138; Myndarra 12, 30, 99; Port Fairy 12, 24, 86; Orford 8, 30, 105; Glengleeson 4, 22, 83; Tarrone 0, 18, 69.

South leads Hampden

SOUTH Warrnambool now sits top of the Hampden League ladder following last weekend’s win over the Eagles.

Coming off a 14-point loss to Terang Mortlake the previous week, South was keen to get back on the winners’ list in round seven.

The Bushfield oval proved no match for the visitors, who were quick to put three goals three behinds on the board in the opening quarter while restricting the home side to just two behinds.

The opener set the tone for the rest of the game, with South making better use of its movement in the forward 50 during what was a lowscoring match.

The third quarter proved the difference, with South adding four majors while North was contained to just a point.

North put the pressure on in the final term, kicking three goals, while South added just two behinds.

Final scores were South Warrnambool 7.8.50 to North Warrnambool 5.6.36.

Best for South were Ollie Bridgewater, Nick Thompson, Sam Thompson, Harry Lee, Myles McCluggage and Josh Saunders, while for North, Luke Wines, Reece Scoble, Matthew Wines, Bailey Jenkinson and Jett Bermingham were among the best.

Goal kickers for South were Ricky Henderson, Sam Kelly and Bailey Osborne with two apiece, while Max Irving also contributed one.

For North, Thomas Batten, Jackson Grundy, Felix Jones, Nick Rodda and

Matthew Wines kicked one apiece.

Last weekend’s win sees the Roosters just percentage above this season’s big improvers, Terang Mortlake, who now sit a game clear of third-placed Camperdown.

Other victors last weekend were Camperdown over Portland, Warrnambool over Terang Mortlake and Koroit defeated Hamilton. Cobden v Port Fairy ended in a 98-point draw.

Hampden League’s reserves ladder remains tight at the top, with only percentage separating top side Cobden from the Warrnambool Blues, with the Roosters just a game away in third.

Last Saturday’s game proved a percentage booster for the Roosters, who enjoyed a 128-point victory over North, 22.12.144 to 2.4.16.

Kym Eagleson added to his tally with seven majors for the day while Henry Walker finished with four and Roosters team-mates Ben Anderson (3), Thomas Freitag (2), Patrick Kluver (2), Sam Lenehan (2), Jaidyn Hawkins and Walker Owen also contributed.

Best for the Roosters were Kym Eagleson, Walker Owen, Jaidyn Hawkins, Sam Lenehan, Maison Mavroudakis and Thomas Freitag. Lachlan Seed, Jack Burke, Will McConnell, Noah Dowie and Hank Schlaghecke were in the best for North.

In Hampden league round eight action tomorrow, South will host Portland, Terang Mortlake will travel to Hamilton, Koroit Saints will host North Warrnambool, Camperdown will head to Port Fairy while Reid Oval will see the Blues take on Cobden.
