WHITEHORSE MARKS SORRY DAY Whitehorse's Sorry Day ceremony was held in the Nangnak Garden in Nunawading in May. Wurundjeri Elder Perry Wandin performed a Welcome to Country and traditional Smoking Ceremony. The Aboriginal flag was unfurled by Perry Wandin and the Chair of the Whitehorse Reconciliation Advisory Committee, Councillor Ben Stennett.

Kerrimuir and Livingstone Primary School students participated in the ceremony, reading out poems they submitted as part of Council’s National Reconciliation Week Poetry and Poster Competition.

The moving poems centred on this year’s theme: Don’t Keep History a Mystery.

Celebrating our Sister City Relationship To coincide with the 47th anniversary of the Whitehorse Matsudo Sister City Relationship, the annual Green Tree Day was celebrated at the Box Hill Town Hall in May. A simultaneous tree planting ceremony was also held in Matsudo, Japan.

Together, the Consul-General of Japan to Melbourne Mr Kazuyoshi Matsunaga and Whitehorse Mayor Councillor Andrew Davenport planted a Japanese Elm tree in the garden at the Box Hill Town Hall.

At the same time in Matsudo, Mayor Kenji Hongoya planted a Bottlebrush tree at Wanagaya Elementary School.

After the tree planting, Cr Davenport and Mayor Hongoya chatted over Skype, with students from Wanagaya Elementary school asking Cr Davenport about life in Whitehorse.

What emergencies might affect me?

Who needs to be included in the plan (don’t forget your pets)?

Why Young People Should Get Involved in Politics Written by Whitehorse Youth Representative Committee member Erin Page

present to the youth parliament, with the winning bill presented to the Federal Government.

As today’s young people learn in school about the problems of the world such as climate change, the Syrian war or Australian politics, we probably think there is nothing we can do.

Work experience with politicians or being involved in local government through committees such as the Whitehorse Youth Representative Committee or Youth Advisory Committee can have an impact.

We are the ones who will have to deal with these problems. When the world is under water or the world’s inequalities are unsolved, we are the ones who will have to do something.

This week I turned 17 and I got a letter asking me to enrol to vote. The letter talked about how everyone’s vote mattered. Our votes especially matter as we are the ones who have to deal with the decisions made now that will affect the future.

How young people can get involved: Youth Parliament Victoria allows young people to create a bill about an issue important to them to

Having youth involved in politics encourages young people to be better citizens and gives them a greater global awareness. These young people continue to become engaged voters and members of the community.

Young people also bring new, fresh ideas that can help benefit the country.

Whitehorse City Council adopts 2018/19 Annual Budget At its meeting on Monday 25 June, Council voted to adopt its 2018/19 Annual Budget.

The budget allocates $143 million to fund the more than 100 services that Council provides the community, including meals on wheels, maternal and child health nurses, maintenance of parks, playgrounds and sports ovals, youth workers and managing planning and building applications – just to name a few.

Also funded in the budget is $64.35 million for capital works, which includes exciting new initiatives like the Nunawading Community Hub and the Whitehorse Centre. The capital works budget also covers maintenance and renewal of existing assets and buildings.

More information whitehorse.vic.gov.au/Budget.html

How far does $100 go?

This is how each $100 that Council collects through rates is distributed to fund our services: Sustainability, waste and recycling $13.11 Home and Community Services $12.29 Leisure facilities $10.67 Health and family services $9.55 ParksWide $9.15 City Works $7.26 Planning and building $6.51

Nunawading Community Hub A major item funded in the capital works budget is the Nunawading Community Hub, which will receive $13 million this year.

Whitehorse Mayor Councillor Andrew Davenport said that Architects FJMT have now completed the design phase after much consultation with the community and a builder will soon be appointed.

“Once appointed, the builder will mobilise on site with construction to start later this year,” said Cr Davenport.

“We hope that construction will be complete by the end of 2019 with the community groups moving into the hub at the beginning of 2020.”

“This is such an exciting project that will become a vibrant community hub; a place where the community can come together to embrace new opportunities for learning, social interaction and getting active.”

Recycling and waste centre $6.23 Arts and cultural services $4.99 Compliance $4.76 Libraries $4.46 Engineering $3.46 Assets and capital works $3.34 Community development $2.20 Investment and economic development $0.80 Parks planning and recreation $0.77 Major projects and buildings $0.45

RATES The average rate rise is 2.25 per cent, in line with the rate cap set by the Minister for Local Government. With this modest rate cap, Whitehorse will continue to have one of the lowest levels of rates in metropolitan Melbourne.

On a beautiful morning in Blackburn on ANZAC day more than 700 gathered at the Central Road Memorial for the Blackburn RSL dawn service.

The winter mornings might be cool but the joy, energy and vitality of junior sports programs like Auskick and netball that involve hundreds of children and parents locally certainly warms my heart.

As a former Chair of the Whitehorse Reconciliation Committee, I was delighted to be part of the 10 year anniversary of the historic apology given by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd back in 2008.

It was fantastic to be invited back to the Whitehorse Colts as a fill in, coaching the grade one group. I’d nearly forgotten how hard it is to keep up with energetic six year olds determined to be the next Daisy Pearce or Dustin Martin. Thank you to all who invest their time on a voluntary basis to run these programs. They offer girls and boys of all abilities the chance to have fun, exercise and develop team work and resilience.

The emphasis on learning more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, to share that knowledge and grow together as a nation is something I support. It was particularly pleasing to see our local schools involved, including Vermont Secondary College and Livingstone Primary School. The Welcome to Country, smoking ceremony conducted by a Wurundjeri Elder and the poems read by the school children commemorating Sorry Day were truly inspiring.

It was especially pleasing that the winning poem came from Blake representing Livingstone Primary School.

President Graham Hutchinson welcomed everyone before commencing formalities. Local RSL member Jim Marshall, a young 82 year old, gave a moving speech of the horrors of war telling of uncles who returned from the battlefields having been gassed who then suffered greatly on their return.

Congratulations to our local Scout groups who cooked the gunfire breakfast that the RSL put on for no charge back at their clubrooms adjacent to the IGA. I encourage residents to think about commemorating our ANZACs locally not to mention the benefit of a cooked breakfast and mixing with fellow locals.

Eastern Football League Women's Team Blackburn’s first senior Eastern Football League (EFL) Women’s team is up and running and is off to a flying start. I was pleased to attend Blackburn’s Round 4 match against Yarra Junction with our local team recording a strong win of 9-12 66 to 1-0 6.

It is great to see women who love their football getting to play at these higher levels. Go Burnners.

War on Waste I attended a packed Box Hill Town Hall recently to hear the ABC’s Craig Reucassel speak on winning the war on waste. One point of his presentation I noted was that if food waste was a country it would be the third highest greenhouse gas emitter behind China and the United States. Council does offer advice on how our residents can be more sustainable with things like composing food scraps. Council cannot do it on its own.

Box Hill RSL portrait unveiling I was honoured to attend the unveiling of the Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG portrait at the Box Hill RSL. Cpl Baird was awarded his Victoria Cross posthumously.

He was killed in action in 2013. Cpl Baird VC was awarded the Victoria Cross for the most conspicuous acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self-sacrifice in Afghanistan. Cpl Baird was a remarkably brave and humble warrior for our great nation. It is heartening that this portrait will remind generations of his great sacrifice. It was great to chat with His Excellency The Governor General. The last time we spoke I was a Captain in the Army and he was Chief of Army. He is a generous and warm man.

Surrey Park Swimming Club I was also delighted to join the Surrey Park Swimming Club for their presentation night and congratulate the club leadership for its continued outstanding success. It’s astonishing to consider that this club had its genesis in an old local waterhole, and is today a highly respected, professionally run and vibrant community not-for-profit that has taught many thousands of local children how to swim and developed champion elite level swimmers.

Residential Corridors Built Form Study This current study is to determine guidelines along key road corridors including Burwood Highway adjacent to the existing tram line. This was brought about by concerns of multi-unit developments and multi-storey applications being approved by VCAT. The study outcomes will lead to options being presented for community consultation and input.

Sustainable Living Week I had the pleasure of attending the launch of this event and listening to Craig Reucassel from War on Waste fame! Box Hill Town Hall was booked out, which shows the interest that our community has in this issue. Craig was able to give some valuable tips and also review what is happening with efforts to reduce waste. The current crisis around recycling and what we can do to reduce waste led to a lively Q&A session. It should be noted that Whitehorse is one of the few councils that doesn’t have a municipal waste charge. Council continues to lobby for solutions to the recent China ban on recyclables.

Until next time, Bill

We recently held our annual Volunteers Recognition ceremony, at which we celebrate the achievements of our many volunteers in Whitehorse.

I was very honoured to represent the Mayor at the Centenary of Yooralla celebrations in Box Hill recently.

As I have often stated, volunteers are one of our community's greatest strength. They bring skills, friendship, compassion and enthusiasm that money can't buy.

It isn't just the recipients that reap the benefits but also the volunteers themselves as they make new friends and develop new skills.

In Whitehorse we have many people who have been volunteering for more than 40 years and clearly love every minute of it.

This year we awarded John Armstrong with a certificate for 50 years service and there are several other volunteers who are not far behind.

Bennettswood Pavilion The long awaited Bennettswood Pavilion has been officially opened. This will be a great asset for the many sporting clubs that use the well-utilised oval.

It was designed to be multi-functional with sliding partitions that can be opened to accommodate large groups and has a large number of change rooms to cater for both male and female clubs.

Burwood Brickworks development After many years of inactivity it appears that works on the old brickworks site are about to commence.

Apart from accommodation options, this site will also contain retail, cinemas and an open space area.

If local residents would like to view the plans the site office is now open.

In 1918, a young girl with a disability was found in a chicken coop in Fitzroy by Sister Faith (Evangeline Ireland). Her parents were both at work. This inspired the start of Victoria’s first free kinder for children with a disability. Since then, Yooralla has become a household name and now assists more than 4000 Victorians with a disability to live independent and fulfilling lives, at home and in the community.

Young Victorian Achiever Awards 2018 It was an absolutely pleasure to attend this event in Flemington. Congratulations to our Whitehorse resident, Lisa Tran of Forest Hill, who in a field of 6000 entries was one of the four finalists in the Small Business Achiever category.

On this month at Whitehorse Manningham Libraries

TIME OUT FROM THE CARING ROLE

Introduction to the Internet Box Hill Library Wednesday 4 July, 3.30pm-5pm

Caring for a loved one full-time can be challenging, especially if the carer is doing it alone. To give carers a break, Whitehorse City Council offers a range of respite services.

PC Basics

Robert* had been caring for his wife Emily* for a number of years. Emily’s dementia meant she could no longer be left alone and Robert was becoming increasingly isolated from his friends.

Nunawading Library Tuesday 17 July, 10am-11am

Active Mind Puzzle Box Challenge for Seniors Box Hill Library Monday 23 July, 1.30pm-3pm

Kirigami Origami Blackburn Library Friday 27 July, 1pm-2.30pm

Register online at wml.vic.gov.au

While Robert and Emily were initially reluctant to seek external support, once they had developed a trusting relationship with Whitehorse Support Worker Rosie, Robert realised the value of having time out with his friends for a round of golf.

Emily and Rosie have been spending time engaged in activities that Emily enjoys, such as flower arranging, cooking, listening to classical music or going for a walk.

As a Qualified Support Worker, Rosie knows to take account of Emily’s daily routines and preferences before they start an activity.

If you are caring for a loved one at home and could benefit from a regular short break, Whitehorse City Council’s Flexible Respite Service can support you to continue in your caring role. *Names and some details have been changed

Are you scam savvy?

Anyone can fall for a scam – and scammers are getting smarter and using more sophisticated tricks to dupe thousands of Victorians every year, especially older adults.

Fab Strength – strength equipment

Get social

Common online scams: ■

One of the wonderful benefits of exercising at Aqualink is the social interaction. Older members often stay around after class for a cup of tea and a chat.

■

Fab Circuit – steady paced weights workout Lite Pace – gentle, low impact aerobic workout

■

Zumba Gold – low intensity dancing Wellness classes – yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, meditation and stretch and stabilise Gentle exercise – seated/chair-based exercise

■

Investment scam – Scammers typically offer ‘get rich quick’ schemes and investments. After you pay their expensive fees, you will discover their claims are false.

Threat-based scam – Scammers pretending to be from the government, a bank or other well-known institution call, email or text you saying you owe money. They threaten that if you don’t pay immediately, a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Romance scams – Scammers approach you on legitimate dating websites and build an online relationship with you.

Once the relationship is established, they start asking for money.

Online selling scams – Scammers post fake advertisements offering non-existent products for low prices. They also may claim to have paid for items you are selling in the hope that you will send them the item for free.

JAPANESE ARTIST COMES TO BOX HILL This month, Box Hill Community Arts Centre (BHCAC) welcomes Arisa Kawabe, their artist in residence until May 2019.

Arisa was born in Japan and has studied and worked in Japan and Germany. While at BHCAC, her work will explore themes of memory using sculpture, video, painting, ceramic, salt and various other materials.

“The purpose of this community art project is sharing emotional memories between myself, artists and viewers,” said Arisa. “By thinking about projects in various countries, not only in Japan, I think that people can be connected through ‘clothing memory’ even in countries with different cultures, customs and languages.”

Each artist in residence is required to work on a community project during their time at the centre.
