Ordinary Council Meeting Monday 16 October at 7pm

Box Hill is continuing to grow as the second most important retail, commercial and residential precinct outside central Melbourne. The area has been designated as a Metropolitan Activity Centre by the Victorian Government.

The need for the new car park was first highlighted in a detailed study of car parking across the Box Hill Activity Centre, which examined growth forecasts and the needs of the community.

What will it look like?

Prepared by award-winning firm MGS Architects, the innovative design will ensure the building integrates beautifully with its surrounds, with lots of greenery and a strong visual and physical connection with Pioneer Park, while preserving the local landscape character and retaining the existing mature eucalypt trees.

When will construction start?

Construction will start once the sale and planning process of the Council-owned Cambridge Street car park site is complete (expected by early 2018).

The Cambridge Street car park will continue to operate as normal until the new Harrow Street multi-deck car park opens, so that businesses, shoppers and visitors will not be inconvenienced.

Special (Statutory) Council Meeting Election of the Mayor Monday 30 October at 7pm

From this, Council’s Box Hill Structure Plan and Box Hill Car Parking Strategy were developed, of which the Harrow Street car park is a key feature.

More information and to sign up to regular email updates

These meetings are held in the Council Chamber at Whitehorse Civic Centre and they are open to the public, unless Council resolves to consider an item ‘in camera’ (confidentially).

How many parking spaces will there be?

OVERHANGING TREES GET THE CHOP THIS OCTOBER

Have a quick look outside your property and make sure that:

A

• all plants protruding through or over the fence are trimmed back to the property line

focus on overhanging trees and overgrown plants begins this month, with Council officers out and about in the community inspecting hazards.

Vegetation that hangs low over a footpath or obstructs the path can be dangerous to pedestrians, sometimes even causing serious injuries.

The same goes for a laneway or road that is overrun by vegetation, which can impede the safe movement of pedestrians, traffic and those using prams and wheelchairs.

If you rent or own a home in Whitehorse, it is your responsibility to ensure that any footpaths or lanes that adjoin your property are free of overhanging vegetation and ground covering.

• overhanging trees and branches are cut back to the property line and are 2.5 metres clear of the footpath

• any ground cover on the footpath is cut back to the property line.

Fines may apply for neglecting these regulations.

FOREST HILL TO BECOME WHITEHORSE’S FIRST DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY

W

hitehorse City Council is working with local health groups to make Forest Hill a community where people with dementia can live a high quality of life with meaning, purpose and value.

The steps to becoming a dementiafriendly community vary from community to community, but may include: • Listening to what is important for people living with dementia • Organising a local dementia alliance, which includes people living with dementia • Assisting local organisations and businesses to become dementia-friendly • Raising awareness about dementia

• Promoting social engagement opportunities for people with dementia How you can help If you are interested in getting involved, please take part in a survey at www. surveymonkey.com/r/DFC_ForestHill or contact Kim Rosenfeld for a copy of the survey form.

This project is supported by Whitehorse City Council, Inner East Primary Care

Transport news

OCTOBER 2017

Transport news As the weather warms up, it’s time to get the bikes out of the shed and take a ride on some of Whitehorse’s many shared paths. It is also a good time to study new riding rules that came into effect earlier this year, and join in the fun of Ride2Work Day. Read on for all the information you need to make the most of your spring bike rides.

CYCLISTS, DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS ALL DESERVE RESPECT

S

howing respect for other road users is a major step towards keeping all community members safe and able to enjoy their journeys.

Cyclists and pedestrians are particularly vulnerable on our roads because they don’t have the same protection that a vehicle provides.

Ride2Work Day W

Cyclists and pedestrians accounted for almost 25 per cent of all road injuries and deaths in Whitehorse over the past five years.

hat's a simple, fun way to save money, improve mental health and get fit all at the same time?

All you need to do is hop on a bike, strap on a helmet and ride to work!

Councillor Blair Barker said that National Ride2Work Day on Wednesday 18 October is a great opportunity to remind the community of the benefits of being active on the way to work.

“Council is again supporting the campaign by offering a free community breakfast to all participants at the Box Hill Mall on the morning of Ride2Work Day,” said Cr Barker.

“Currently, two thirds of Australians don’t get enough exercise to maintain their health.

At the same time, our cities are being choked by traffic. Health and congestion costs are draining billions out of the economy each year.

“Regularly riding to work is one of the easiest and most time-efficient ways to help solve these problems. It’s a great way to fit exercise into your daily routine, care for the environment and save the costs associated with running a car.”

The Whitehorse Ride2Work Day free community breakfast When: Wednesday 18 October, 6.30am to 9am Where: Box Hill Mall (corner of Main Street and Market Street, near the ramp to Woolworths) Register at: ride2workboxhill.eventbrite.com.au

More information Chris Hui Senior Transport Project Officer 9262 6134

Cr Blair Barker is encouraging the community to take part in Ride2Work Day.

It’s easy to show courtesy and respect to others by: • Knowing and obeying the road rules • Being alert and anticipating the next moves of all road users, especially children and older people • Being predictable, particularly when changing direction • Leaving at least one metre when driving past cyclists • Checking for cyclists before opening your car door • Riding at a safe speed and ringing your bell when approaching pedestrians • Keeping to the left and letting cyclists overtake you when walking along a path • Making sure dogs don’t wander into the path of cyclists.

FREE COURSE IN ADULT BIKE SKILLS

C

ycleWise is a free bicycle confidence training program for adults, and Council is offering two free courses during October and November.

The novice 2.5 hour course is perfect for those who lack confidence on a bike. This course covers correct riding technique and essential bike skills. It is conducted in a traffic-free area.

The five hour intermediate course aims to build confidence when riding on paths and roads, and participants will learn about safety, road rules, correct riding technique and more.

Both courses are run by professional instructors from Bikes@Work.

Participants need to bring a bike in roadworthy condition and a helmet.

When: Novice course – Sunday 22 October, 9.30am-12 noon OR 12.30pm-3pm Intermediate course – Sunday 5 November, 10am-3pm Where: Meet at the Courtyard Room, rear of Nunawading Library, 379 Whitehorse Road, Nunawading Bookings essential: roadsafety@whitehorse.vic.gov.au or 9262 6134

DO YOU KNOW THESE NEW ROAD RULES? From 1 July 2017, VicRoads made a few changes to the Road Rules relating to bicycles.

More information: www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-roadrules/road-rules/a-to-z-of-road-rules/bicycles

Bikes in bus lanes The new rule: Bikes are now allowed to ride in bus lanes

Mobile phones The new rule: Cyclists can be fined for using a mobile phone while riding

Why? After dedicated risk assessments, results showed cyclists were safer riding in the bus lane rather than the traffic lane next to the bus lane.

Why? Mobile phone use is a dangerous distraction for all road users, including cyclists. To use a phone as a navigational device/GPS while riding, it must be secured in a commercially designed holder.

Bicycle crossing lights The new rule: Drivers must give way to bikes crossing on a green bike signal, as they do at pedestrian crossings.

Bike carriers The new rule: Drivers can drive with empty bike carriers

Why? This system is fair for all and keeps riders safe on the road.

If you have a bicycle rack fitted to your car, make sure your number plate is clearly visible.

Why? This is now considered safe.

Become a Waste Warrior Reuse Guide Reusing items is a great way to save money, reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and help the environment.

Take a look at this guide to reusing in Whitehorse.

BUY NOTHING NEW MONTH Get on board October’s Buy Nothing New Month by simply buying nothing new! (with the exception of essentials like food, hygiene and medicines).

Buy Nothing New Month encourages second-hand shopping, extending the life of existing products, and swapping, sharing or bartering. The campaign encourages us to ask ourselves, “Do I really need this?” and “Can I get it second-hand, borrow, swap or rent it?”

RENEW COLLECTION AND DROP OFF DAY The Renew collection and drop off day are held in May each year.

During the Renew Collection, residents simply need to place bags of unwanted but useable household goods into their empty recycling bin immediately after their normal recycling has been collected.

Then push the bin straight back out on the kerb for the scheduled Renew Collection.

The Renew Drop Off Day is for items that are too big or fragile to be placed in the recycling bin, such as televisions, whitegoods or good quality, reusable furniture.

These items are then either recycled or reused both in Australia and overseas.

Visit www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/Renew.html

HOME COMPOSTING AND LEFTOVERS Nearly half of an average rubbish bin is food waste – some avoidable and some not.

Avoidable food waste comes from cooking or buying too much food or by storing food incorrectly. Much of this food can be reused as leftovers, or frozen and eaten later.

It’s simple, easy, creative and fun – you’ll get way more than you give up!

Pledge with a friend today at: www.buynothingnew.com.au

REPAIR CAFÉS

COFFEE CUPS AND PLASTIC BAGS

There is a growing community of people across Melbourne meeting up regularly to share their tools and experiences in order to fix household items and clothes that may otherwise be thrown away. To learn more search for the Repair Café on Facebook.

In Whitehorse, disposable coffee cups and plastic bags cannot be placed in your yellow lidded home recycling bin.

However, if you don’t like the idea of them going to landfill, consider purchasing and using reusable bags and coffee cups instead.

To attend the next Pop Up Repair Café in Whitehorse visit www.whitehorse. vic.gov.au/sustainability-events.html

Visit www.responsiblecafes.org to find cafés in Whitehorse who are happy to use reusable coffee cups.

alk to School Month, from 9 October to 3 November, is a VicHealth initiative that runs each October, inspiring primary school students and their families to use active transport to get to and from school.

9262 6197 www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/Immunisation.htm

It’s a free, easy and fun way for children to get active and achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity they should get each day.

Part way is OK: If walking or riding the whole way to school isn’t feasible, parking the car a few blocks away and walking the rest of the way is still a great way to get involved.

Council and VicHealth are offering schools a reward for participating in Walk to School Month. They can choose from a $300 voucher to host a healthy breakfast, $300 worth of sporting equipment or $300 worth of classroom healthy breakfast packs.

Council will also present the Golden Shoe trophy to the school with the highest percentage of students who walk, cycle, skate or scoot to school during October, and students involved in Walk to School 2017 will receive a certificate of participation from VicHealth.

For some time, Council has been using a free app to communicate all the latest news on local family events, programs, immunisation sessions, forums, maternal and child health updates and information on parenting youth.

Walk to School is a VicHealth initiative.

More information: 9262 7662 justine.girgin@whitehorse.vic.gov.au www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/ Walk-to-School.html

The app was previously called Tiqbiz, but has been rebranded FlexiBuzz. If you were a previous Tiqbiz user, you should now see the FlexiBuzz logo when you open the app or website. If you can still see the Tiqbiz logo you will need to update the app through your app store. Until you have done this you will not receive the latest information from Council.

hitehorse secondary school students were invited to attend the Whitehorse Youth Forum in August, which focused on the theme of acceptance.

The free event was organised by the Whitehorse Youth Representative Committee to inform and educate young people aged 13-17 years.

Participants got useful information on managing the isolation and loneliness that surrounds bullying, and discussed the notion of internet image and social media.

The highlight of the day was information presented by keynote speaker Darcy Vescio. The 23-year-old full forward for the Carlton’s AFLW team is not only a driver of gender equality for girls in sport but is also an AFL multicultural ambassador.

Other presenters included representatives from the Migrant Information Centre, Bully Zero Australia Foundation, Eyes Open Social Media, Headspace and Beyond Blue.

Nominate now!

Nominate them for Council’s Young Person of the Month Award, which celebrates the efforts of local young people and the contributions they make to the community.

“I really enjoyed the keynote speakers and the information gathered and presented”

The day also explored how culturally and linguistically diverse young people saw the theme of acceptance, and how mental health, stress and anxiety can impact the way young people feel when it comes to acceptance within society.

"I learnt that there are helplines for bullying."

Do you know a young person who excels at school, sport, the arts or community work and deserves some recognition?

Ward news

OCTOBER 2017

These pages aim to provide you with an insight into projects and activities that your Ward Councillors are involved in.

CENTRAL WARD Cr Andrew Munroe 0429 138 140 andrew.munroe@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

Cr Denise Massoud (Mayor) 0409 230 499 denise.massoud@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

By Cr Denise Massoud Parklands Community Forum The Parklands Community Forum was an outstanding event with speaker Prof Tim Entwisle addressing 14 Parkland Advisory Committees representatives about the seasons.

He posed that seasons are not limited to the traditional four and that we should consider the terms Sprinter and Sprummer to describe an alternative view of seasons for our gardens.

Whitehorse Business Week Whitehorse Business Week was again an outstanding success. Bernard Salt, a renowned demographer, presented a fascinating presentation about Box Hill showing the change of demographics historically and predictions for the future.

He explained why Box Hill was important as the second CBD of Melbourne, its expected growth and importantly the change in community expectations over time and what was attractive about Box Hill for the future.

The Women In Business luncheon with Nicole Livingstone as speaker was booked out and Nicole gave us a very personal view of challenges for an elite athlete but also a focus on health generally and her corporate life.

Whitehorse Youth Representative Committee The Whitehorse Youth Representative Committee held a youth forum with students

attending from a number of local secondary schools. Whitehorse Youth Forum focuses on young people and has a general theme of “acceptance”, focusing specifically on mental health, bullying, social media and young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. This is an excellent initiative of Council and enables some good discussion among our youth on some key challenges they face.

Other events YES Inc (Youth Education Support) held a launch for their new website and the work they are doing. Their support for disadvantaged local youth and their educational outcomes is outstanding.

Blackburn Bowls Club also held a vibrant season opening.

ELGAR WARD Cr Tina Liu 0418 121 357 tina.liu@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

Cr Blair Barker 0459 857 280 blair.barker@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

By Cr Tina Liu Business Awards Gala Dinner Coming off a successful Whitehorse Business Week in August, the annual Business Awards Gala Dinner, organised by the Whitehorse Business Group, will be held on Friday 13 October. This is the premier business awards event in Whitehorse that recognises the achievements of our local businesses. For more information, visit www.whitehorsebusinessgroup.com.au

Our Lady of Sion Mentor Breakfast and Debutante Ball I had the pleasure of attending Our Lady of Sion College’s Year 12 Mentor Breakfast recently. As a former Sion student, it was great to be back at my old high school and to speak with the Year 12 students about their future goals and aspirations.

It was a great session and I would like to thank Sion College for this mentorship opportunity.

I also attended Our Lady of Sion’s Debutante Ball which was held at L’Unica. I commend the Sion Debutantes as well as their partners (from Whitefriars College) for the preparation they have put into the event. They all looked wonderful and danced beautifully on the evening.

support and work on our beautiful parklands.

Dr Tim Entwisle also presented on biodiversity and the Australian seasons.

Surrey Park Model Boat Club I recently visited Surrey Park Model Boat Club where they had their Buy, Sell, Swap Day. I had a lovely chat with the members – all local model boat enthusiasts – who kindly shared their knowledge and stories, and saw some of their impressive boats on display and in action on the lake.

All the best and until next time – Tina

Parkland Community Forum Council held the Parkland Community Forum which brought together Whitehorse Parkland Advisory Committees and community groups including Greenlink Box Hill. Whitehorse is fortunate to have such knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers who provide valuable

MORACK WARD Cr Bill Bennett 0409 195 530 bill.bennett@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

Cr Raylene Carr 0400 886 889 raylene.carr@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

Of course, members of our Bellbird Dell and Campbell’s Croft/Abbey Walk Advisory Committee already know this, as well as having vast knowledge of the native and indigenous vegetation in our local areas. It’s also good to see the new and upgraded boardwalks in these parks. They certainly improve the ambience of our beautiful natural environment.

Mayoral Community Dinner

By Cr Bill Bennett Parkland Community Forum We are indeed fortunate to have so many wonderful volunteers who care for our local parks and gardens. At the Parkland Community Forum this year, we had the privilege of hearing from Professor Tim Entwisle from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. He spoke about the changing seasons and the importance of observing nature rather than just relying on the calendar! Afterwards, I did confirm with him that my tomato seedlings should still only be planted out after Melbourne Cup Day!

This recently held dinner was an opportunity to thank representatives from many community groups in our municipality. Organisations such as sporting clubs, service clubs, special interest clubs and many other groups play a vital role in the social fabric of our community. It was an opportunity to network, but also to celebrate and acknowledge the fantastic efforts of all the volunteers involved.

2A and 4 McClares Road, Vermont This development application has had a long history. It has caused much concern to our local community. While the community understands

that some sort of development will occur on this site, the likely adverse impacts of the original plans submitted were of concern. After much negotiation, and finally at VCAT, a position was agreed that was seen as the best that could be achieved given the realities of the relevant planning considerations. A big thank you to members of our local community and our Council planners for fighting long and hard for this outcome.

Freda Miles This wonderful lady recently had her 100th birthday and I was honoured to be invited to a celebration at St. Marks, Forest Hill, and another one organised by the Brentford Square Traders Association. Freda still volunteers five days a week at local op shops. She is truly an inspiration to all of us.

Happy Birthday Freda!

Until next time, Bill

By Cr Andrew Davenport Box Hill Skate Park Every time I visit Wemberly Park to watch Box Hill United play, I note the progress of the redevelopment of the Box Hill Skate Park, and note that it is almost ready for public use. The official opening is on 6 October so I encourage you to visit the park after the opening and enjoy the new facilities.

Box Hill United Mini Roos Gala Day

Art shows

On 19 August, together with Cr Sharon Ellis, Graham Watt MP and the Hon Michael Sukkar MP, I attended the Box Hill United Mini Roos Gala Day to see about 150 players and their families participate in a number of small events. Congratulations to Box Hill United for hosting the event.

I attended the 26th Annual Exhibition and sale of paintings by The Park Artists which was hosted by Box Hill South Neighbourhood House. Other than the great artworks, I enjoyed the Devonshire teas, where I enjoyed two scones while discussing the neighbourhoods' funding requirements.

Bennettswood Bowling Club

Bennettswood Reserve

Cr Ellis, Graham Watt MP and I attended the opening of the Bennettswood Bowling Club season on 26 August where the club reported that the corporate programs were now generating results for the club which meant that fees can be maintained at a reasonable level. It was pleasing to see that the Bennettswood Bowling Club was utilising its facility to generate income from the private sector.

The new pavilion at Bennettswood Reserve is well underway, with the frame being completed. It is scheduled to be completed by early 2018, and open for the start of the 2018 football season.

Municipal Wide Significant Tree Overlay Council submitted to the Minister for Planning a request to extend the Significant Landscape Overlay to all residential land in the municipality on a permanent basis in May 2017. If approved, the maintenance costs are forecast to be $630,000 per year.

Cr Prue Cutts 0409 867 540 prue.cutts@whitehorse.vic.gov.au

By Cr Ben Stennett Improvement works at Dunlavin Road/ Whitehorse Road Intersection Residents in Mitcham were advised

by VicRoads that works to improve the intersection of Dunlavin Road and Whitehorse Road, Mitcham, were taking place in September. Council had previously written to VicRoads asking them to widen the right-hand turn lane from Whitehorse Road into Dunlavin Road. I would like to

thank the Federal Government for providing funding toward this project and VicRoads for carrying out the works.

Improvement works at Station Street, Mitcham I am pleased to say that the works along Station Street are coming to a close after a number of months. I thank everyone, especially the local traders and also users of the Senior Citizens' Centre for their patience over this period of time where there has been some disruption.

Schwerkolt Cottage Open Day Recently the Schwerkolt Cottage and Museum Complex in Mitcham held an Open Day, in association with Council’s Heritage week. The Schwerkolts were among the first settlers in the area and their original family home is now part of a museum complex.

5-STAR FOOD SAFETY FOCUS

C

ongratulations to Domino’s Pizza, who have been nominated for Council’s monthly 5-Star Food Safety Focus after achieving outstanding standards in food hygiene and safety.

During their annual food hygiene assessment, food preparation staff at Domino’s demonstrated outstanding knowledge and application of food handling, hygiene and safety.

Food businesses achieving a 5-star rating in their annual FHA are eligible for the prestigious Whitehorse Food Premises of the Year Award.

Mitcham Residents Association and Heatherdale Community Action Group Recently the Mitcham Residents Association and the Heatherdale Community Action Group held their AGMs. Councillor Prue Cutts and I were invited. It is good to see these residents' groups engaging with the community and with government to support outcomes that are positive for the whole community.

Mitcham Pipe Track The Melbourne Water owned pipe track that runs through Mitcham is part of an exciting project that forms a strategic cycling corridor. Council has been successful in negotiating with Melbourne Water to construct a shared user path along this land.

The State Government has also contributed funding to accelerate this project and there has been some recent consultation to guide and inform the work.

Community news

OCTOBER 2017

Community groups get a boost

A

new quilting machine will help migrant and refugee women improve their lives one stitch at a time, thanks to a grant from this year’s Whitehorse Community Grants program.

The grant, awarded to Dream Stitches Migrant and Refugee Sewing Program (supported by St Aiden’s Anglican Church, Box Hill) was just one of more than 200 grants awarded under the 2017/18 Community Grants Program, which included $841,352 in cash grants and $306,107 in discount support grants (for hall hire and tipping fees).

Councillor Sharon Ellis said that each year the grants program supports important community projects such as performing arts, community festivals, social support for seniors, new equipment for sports and community clubs and much more.

“The grants are essential in ensuring that Whitehorse can continue to be a diverse, inclusive and vibrant community,” said Cr Ellis.

“Other organisations that received grants this financial year include the Box Hill U3A, who received $1500 for DVDs for class presentations, the Inclusive Music Theatre, who received $1040 towards hire of specialist prop change items, and the Nunawading Toy Library, who received $1000 for specialised science, nature and active play toys."

CHANGE YOUR CLOCK, CHANGE YOUR SMOKE ALARM BATTERIES

A

reminder to all Whitehorse residents to change smoke alarm batteries at the same time clocks are wound back for daylight savings on Sunday 1 October.

In the event of a fire, a working smoke alarm gives a warning and enough time to evacuate a building. The smell of smoke will not normally wake a sleeping person, so it is important to position smoke alarms in locations that will wake all occupants in the home and give them time to evacuate.

Avoid putting smoke alarms near cooking appliances and bathrooms because moisture and smoke will set them off.

Smoke alarms are available at most electrical appliance and hardware stores. Check that they comply with Australian Standard AS 3786-1993. If you are having any electrical work done to the property it is recommended that have your smoke alarms changed to hard wired devices.

Batteries from smoke alarms can be recycled at Council’s Waste and Recycling Centre at the corner of Burwood Highway and Morack Road, Vermont South.

A community collaborative exhibition on display at Box Hill Community Arts Centre until 8 October

H

eads and shoulders, knees and toes will all be on display at the Box Hill Community Arts Centre (BHCAC) this month, in a multi-Council collaborative project with local school children.

Whitehorse Mayor Councillor Denise Massoud explained that local Whitehorse children from Our Lady’s Primary School in Surrey Hills and BHCAC’s school holiday program were asked to create their own life sized self-portrait.

“The portraits were created in three segments – head, body, legs and feet – and the artworks were then installed onto packing boxes, with a separate portrait on each of the four sides of the box,” said Councillor Massoud.

The project is proudly supported by Storage King Box Hill who kindly supplied all the boxes.

Students from the Cities of Maroondah and Manningham were also invited to make their own portraits, and artwork

will be on display at Wyreena Community Arts Centre in Croydon in October and then Manningham Arts Studios in Doncaster in November/December.

“Visitors to the exhibitions will be encouraged to move and swap the boxes, mixing and matching portraits to create new identities and explore the theme of diversity.

“This is a wonderful example of working collaboratively with art facilities from neighbouring Councils.

“Congratulations to all the school children involved.”
