Hackles raised over Yakka hub planBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

No way: John Rutherford at the site earmarked for a new development in Broadmeadows. Picture: Darren Howe

ANGRY residents want to have theirsay on a Broadmeadows development,which, they claim, will cause trafficchaos.

Last week, the BroadmeadowsProgress Association sent a letter toHume Council, seeking immediatecommunity consultation over thedevelopment plan — named The Hub:Northmeadows — at 2-26 KingWilliam Street.

The proposal by developer TaylorsDevelopment Strategists has beenapproved by the council and includesconstruction of 600 residential houses,a supermarket, specialty retail shopsand office space, with potential toreach eight storeys in height.

The site is often referred to as the‘‘old Yakka site’’ where a clothing-manufacturing business used tooperate.

Association secretary John Ruther-ford said the council decision wasmade without informing thecommunity.

‘‘Apparently community consulta-tion was never even considered,’’he said.

‘‘The development will have a majorimpact on residents who live in thearea as well as all transport users ofCamp Road, Blair Street and adjoiningstreets. This development will onlyadd to the already chaotic road trafficproblems in the area.’’

A council report states that theintersection at Blair Street and CampRoad traffic is ‘‘at or near itscapacity’’.

A council report states the plan wasnot required to be advertised.

City sustainability director KelvinWalsh said the council and stategovernment had undertaken consulta-tion in preparing the Broadmeadows

structure plan, which was adopted bythe council last year. ‘‘This, togetherwith the planning scheme, forms thefoundation of council’s decisionsregarding any development in Broad-meadows, including the approval ofthe development plan for 2-26 KingWilliam Street,’’ Mr Walsh said.

‘‘The development of the site will

provide a range of benefits to thecommunity, including jobs, housingand other services.’’

But Mr Rutherford said this devel-opment was never discussed as part ofthe structure plan.

‘‘A major commercial developmentwill have a major impact on people’slives. Morally, we should be consulted.

‘‘We’re calling on the mayor to con-vene a meeting for residents to hear areport of what the developmentmeans, about how our rights are pro-tected and what the residents want.’’

Mr Walsh said the council anticip-ated the development would occur instages and each stage would require aplanning permit.

Hitting thesale trailTHE entire Hume municipality will beinvolved in this year’s garage sale trail.

Last year, only Sunbury was part of thetrail, which encourages residents to havegarage sales on the same day.

Some of the money raised is donatedto charity groups in Hume.

At last Monday night’s meeting, thecouncil agreed to allocate $10,000 forthe campaign.

The trail will be open on October 26.Cr Ann Potter said that with a longer

lead-up period to the trail, the councilwas expecting residents to get involved.

‘‘This was an idea that came up lastyear and we [the council] ran the garagetrail in May at extremely short notice.

‘‘I was actually impressed we had 20garage sales registered from Sunburyalone.

‘‘It’s not only about recycling and theway the waste is disposed of, but alsogetting the community involved inactivities.

‘‘I envisage that this year with a lotlonger [lead-up] we can have wholestreets involved.

‘‘It becomes not only a way of recyc-ling and reducing waste, it becomes acommunity activity.

‘‘It’s about enhancing relationships inthe community.’’

At the council meeting, Sunbury resid-ent Adrian Lodders questioned spending$10,000 on the campaign, and said itcould be better spent on other waste andrecycling programs.

Cr Casey Nunn agreed that the costdid seem high but said the project hadbeen successful in other areas around thecountry and she believed it would be inHume, too.

In Bondi where the first trail started in2010 there were 126 sales in the firstyear. It grew to 1613 in the second year.

DISADVANTAGED young people in Hume willhave a better chance staying focused on educationand employment, with local organisations bandingtogether to lend a hand.

Last week, the Hume Whittlesea Local Learningand Employment Network signed a ‘Spirit of Co-Operation Agreement 2013-15’, where local organ-isations pledged their support for the network’sHume Youth Commitment (HYC) initiative for thenext three years.

The network developed the HYC in 2007 tobetter co-ordinate education and employmentservices for Hume’s youth.

In 2008, 23 organisations were involved.The number has now grown to more than 80

partners.So far, the program has helped more than 3000

local youth re-engage in education, training andemployment.

The network’s partners include Victoria Police,Hume Council, the Salvation Army and many localschools, including Sunbury Downs SecondaryCollege.

The partners offer support through their ownbusiness, which can include offering work experi-ence, mentoring young people or providing trainingand apprenticeships.

The network’s senior partnership broker, NickyLeitch, says the HYC has had many achievementssince 2007.

‘‘Every three years we ask organisations to signup; it’s about supporting young people to completeyear 12 or its equivalent.

‘‘. . . one of our achievements is the MovingForward program, which is a life skills program [tohelp build confidence and self-esteem] for high-riskor vulnerable young people.

‘‘It’s now sustained to run every term by Hume

Council. Before that there wasn’t anything like thatin Hume.’’ Other achievements include ongoingadvocacy for young people, mentoring in schools

with local businesses and the launch of an Under 16report, which outlines how Hume’s youth engage ineducation and employment.

Park residents cite false promises on town centreROXBURGH Park residents are relieved that amajor development proposal will be referred tothe state government for a decision.

At its meeting last week, Hume Councildecided to refer the matter to an independentplanning panel after it failed to reach a conclu-sion.

In September, the council wrote to PlanningMinister Matthew Guy to have four hectares (10acres) of vacant land at 175 Donald CameronDrive rezoned from a comprehensive develop-ment zone to a residential, mixed use andbusiness zone.

The council plans to use the site for a 215-lotsubdivision, with a neighbourhood activitycentre and open space. But residents say thecouncil had promised a town centre at the siterather than another housing estate.

The council received 10 submissions fromresidents over its plans.

Resident Brendan Houlihan, who organised apetition that attracted 400 signatures against thedevelopment, said he was happy with thecouncil’s decision.

He said some residents had specifically boughthouses in the area 10 years ago because they were

promised a town centre. ‘‘People are againsthigh-density housing and multi-storey units aswell. It’s definitely a good thing that it’s going toa panel. We can get our point across and we hopethe panel will take our plans on board. I knowthat it’s going to the planning tribunal in Marchso we’ll be putting in more submissions.’’

In 1994, a Roxburgh Park local structure planincluded plans for a supermarket, 15 specialityshops, a tavern and petrol station at the site.

In 2011, Prestige Land Properties (PLP) tookover management of the site from VicUrban(now called Places Victoria).

At the meeting last week, Andrew Almenara,of PLP, said the company had worked hard toconsult with the community and the council.

‘‘When we bought this site 18 months ago wemade a big effort to have a community workshopand all the councillors at the time were invited toattend. No [councillor] attended.’’

Cr Drew Jessop said it was impossible toattend the meeting as it conflicted with Mondaynight council meetings. ‘‘I completely and utterlyrebut the idea that council doesn’t like to beengaged with its community.’’

DEMOLITION of a decrepit former schoolbuilding in Broadmeadows should be completedby the month’s end, easing residents’ worries thatit is degrading the area.

The Campmeadows Primary School site onGraham Street has been vacant for about fouryears and is a favourite target for vandals.

In January 2009, the school merged withMeadowbank Primary School kindergarten tocreate Meadows Primary School.

Broadmeadows Residents Advisory Team(BRAT) chairman Les Devine said the group wasfed up with the eyesore.

He said it was often smeared by graffiti, hadsmashed windows and was singed by fire.

‘‘I’d like to see it pulled down and have some-thing built there for the children or even publichousing, but no one is talking. We aren’t gettingany action.

‘‘It’s just got a frame, the windows are all there,and you can see that the place is dirty.

‘‘That’s why we’ve still got the stigma inBroadmeadows. There is a lot of crime here.’’

Mr Devine said he had been in contact withHume Council and the state government aboutthe site but had had no answers about whatwould happen to it.

A spokesman for Education Minister MartinDixon told the Weekly that demolition should becompleted by the end of this month.

‘‘The site has been identified as surplus toeducational requirements and been included inthe department’s disposal program.

‘‘The site has been vacant since the end of 2008when the school was closed by the former Laborgovernment. It’s one of more than 120 schools itclosed.’’

Mr Devine said fires were often purposely lit atthe site and BRAT was worried that could end ina fatality.

‘‘The fire brigade is going out and wastingtheir resources. A couple of weeks later it’sburning again. Why don’t they let it burn to theground?’’

Once the building is demolished, the site willbe offered to other government departments.

If it is not used by a department, it will beoffered to the council at a market price.

Fire lessons tobe learned

Fire havoc: TheWeekly’s report lastweek about the blazeand CFA calls for asafety plan.


HUME Council wants moreinformation from emergencyservices about the impact of a grass-fire that threatened Craigieburn lastweek.

The blaze started in Epping andburned through 2400 hectares ofgrassland as it headed south fromDonnybrook. It caused bedlam onlocal roads and left residents unsurewhether they should flee.

The CFA and MFB sent outwarnings to residents in manynorthern suburbs, includingCraigieburn and Campbellfield.

At a meeting last week, Cr DrewJessop asked that the council obtainoperational reviews from emer-gency services about the grassfire.

He asked that a report be presen-ted to the council so it could identifypotential improvements in

providing emergency informationto residents.

Cr Alan Bolton said the councilneeded its own fire plan.

‘‘We’ve really got to be consciousof setting our own fire plan andhow we’re going to last if anythingcomes,’’ he said.

‘‘We’ve really got to take care andlook seriously at fire plans forresidential areas.’’

Since the fire, Craigieburn resid-ents have expressed the need for anevacuation zone in the area.

Currently, there are procedures inplace for opening an evacuationcentre at the request of emergencyservices.

According to council city infra-structure director Steve Crawley,there was no request during theEpping fire for an evacuation pointbecause no evacuation alert wasissued.

‘‘In the municipal emergencymanagement plan there are loca-tions identified for emergency reliefand evacuation, including Craigie-burn,’’ Mr Crawley said.

‘‘However, any evacuation centrelocation is determined in responseto the specific risk and issues beingaddressed.’’

Craigieburn resident AbbeyRudd said she kept up to date withthe fire activity through acommunity Facebook page.

She said there should be an evac-

uation point for the area. She alsocalled for better communicationfrom the council and emergencyservices.

‘‘It’s very scary; you don’t knowwhich way to turn,’’ she said.

‘‘I would say the council needsmore than one evacuation place [forus] to go. It’s such a big area, it’sgrowing every day.’’

Last week, the Craigieburn CFAstation officer Ken Houston saidresidents needed to have their ownfire plans in place.

Solving the case ofa rising crime graphBY TARA MURRAY

OVERALL crime in Hume rose by 10.6 per centin the year to December compared with the pre-vious year, the latest police statistics show.

The figures, released last week, show Humerecorded an additional 1463 offences last year,reaching a total of 15287.

By comparison, crime across Victoria rose by9.5 per cent (up by 35,300 to a total of 406,643offences). In Hume, the biggest increases — morethan 34 per cent — were in non-residential burg-laries (542 cases) and in ‘other’ crimes (2222cases) — ‘other’ crimes including public beha-viour offences.

Hume’s new inspector, Tim Hansen, said theoverall crime rate had increased in the past 12months, but the numbers had dropped in the lastquarter of the year.

He said the creation of specialist taskforceshad been a key to this. ‘‘We’ve instigated task-forces focusing on burglaries and theft of andfrom a motor vehicle.

‘‘Each units has seven detectives who focus on

looking at those particular [hot spot] areas.’’He said although there had been a rise in

assaults, police had had some breakthroughs.‘‘Public-place assaults have been coming down

and we’ve been putting resources in the troubleareas like the Sunbury railway station and towncentre, Broadmeadows Plaza and Olsen Place.’’

Inspector Hansen said the creation of an eight-member family violence unit was having ‘‘aninfluence’’. Family violence was up by 31.5 percent (984 cases) in Hume in the past 12 months,compared with 37.5 per cent across the state.

‘‘We are spending time not only responding tocases but also reviewing them to try to break thecycle of abuse.’’

Hume police plan to have more patrols on theroads this year. Last year, 10 people died onHume roads — up from five the year before.

‘‘We’ve already started rolling out police oper-ations to have a greater presence on the roads,targeting main roads and known black spots.

‘‘We need to educate people better on mobilephones, drink driving, drugs, speeding anddistracted driving.’’

Long may it waveJordan McDonald takes his role as flag monitor very seriously. So when the Sunbury Heights Primary

School grade 6 pupil discovered someone had stolen the Aboriginal flag over the school holidays, he

was heartbroken. ‘‘I was very upset as they took the flag and vandalised the school sign. The flag

should be treated with respect and should never touch the ground. Every day I put the flags up and it’s

a fun job that teaches you respect.’’ Jordan took it upon himself to write to McEwen federal MP Rob

Mitchell to help get a new flag. Mr Mitchell visited the school last Monday and presented the new flag

to Jordan. ‘‘I wrote to him hoping he could get a new flag,’’ Jordan said. ‘‘I was happy when he said

‘yes’. It’s good for the community and Aboriginal respect.’’


COVERSTORY

skippinggirls

We’re gliding along the water, in the heart of Hobsons Bay, on a sun-kissed Tuesday afternoon. It’s pleasant viewing as a fl y on the wall with no task to perform

other than adding dead weight to balance the boat. Beyond the ripples of blue you can see the majestic city skyline to the right. On the left and high above is the West Gate Bridge, rows of colourful cars crawling along its lanes.

The boat’s owner and skipper Kathy McFarlane is at the helm and is wearing her game face.

She’s joined by regular crew members Mandy Murray and Cathy Carracher, and partner Serge, who was talked into coming along for the ride. McFarlane is alert and composed as she bellows out a chain of sailing terminology unknown to me but clearly ingrained in her crew. Conditions are blowy and at 22 knots, nothing to be sneezed at. Tacking – turning from one side of the wind to the other – sees the crew spark to life. There’s a couple of minor complications but for the most part, everything runs smoothly. McFarlane steers the boat and breaks into a broad smile. This is her playground.

Her fascination with the water had been explained to me much earlier, on dry land.

“I grew up learning to sail down at McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula. My grandfather had a boatshed on the beach there and my family had dinghies. So my earliest memories, probably before I could walk, are of being on a boat on the water,” McFarlane says.

She and her older brother started out in a Heron dinghy, an old, robust wooden boat designed for a crew of two and ideal for fi rst-timers.

Not long after that her brother spotted boats racing at the yacht club and wanted in on the action.

Their father decided the Heron wasn’t going to cut it, so the pair were soon in a Flying Ant, another iconic junior boat which McFarlane says had “the works”. “It’s a really good little training boat for kids.”

The pair were part of the Victorian youth sailing squad at the time and slowly progressed to bigger and more intricate boats through their

teens before parting ways and going it alone. For McFarlane, that entailed moving overseas, living in Europe and starting a family.

Sailing took a back seat until she moved back to Australia several years ago.

She bought herself a one-man Laser dinghy and reconnected with her childhood passion before progressing to crewing on keelboats.

Then she bought her fi rst boat.At the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria,

McFarlane’s boat sits moored among lines of other boats in the marina, gently swaying from side to side.

“I’ve had this boat six months,” the West Footscray resident says. “It’s one of those scary challenges that you set yourself and you gulp and think, should I really be doing this? And you just close your eyes and do it anyway.”

The 22-year-old 10.5 metre keelboat, named 2x2 because McFarlane and her partner have both been married twice, set her back about 50-large. It’s McFarlane’s pride and joy.

“It kind of consumes everything and if you’re gonna spend that sort of money on a boat you want to get out and use it ... you’re not gonna have it to go out once in a blue moon,” she says.

McFarlane races up to three times a week. There’s twilight racing after work on Wednesday; an intra-club regatta on Saturday; and social events on Sunday.

“There won’t be any boats exactly like this one but it will be a division of boats of a similar size,” she says. “I guess for me it gives you a reason to learn and improve as well as to get a team together and build skills. I just love being on the water. Even if I wasn’t racing I’d still love being on the water. But racing gives you a reason to get out there.”

McFarlane and her crew are competing in a new series titled the Port Phillip Women’s Championships, a concept geared at promoting women in sailing.

“One of my aims with buying the boat was to be able to introduce more women to sailing. For me it’s been a real confi dence-building activity throughout my life which has seen me through

some pretty tough times,’’ McFarlane says. ‘‘I just wanted to give some other women that opportunity.”

The brainchild of Yachting Victoria’s newly formed women and girls in sailing committee, the fi ve-race series will run on Sundays until May and combines existing Lady Skippers races from each of the keelboat clubs around the bay.

Moonee Ponds resident Monica Tonner is the committee chairman and has been a member of the Sandringham Yacht Club for fi ve years where she co-ordinates races.

Like McFarlane, Tonner learned to sail in her childhood, but only recaptured the urge in her 30s.

For the past two years, she’s taken part in the Sydney to Hobart race aboard Wild Rose, owned by one of Australia’s most experienced offshore yachtsmen, Roger Hickman.

Last year the boat won its division with a crew of six men and six women.

“Being an iconic race and being out there amongst the fl eet ... it’s adrenalin-pumping,” Tonner recalls vividly.

“There’s nothing to prove because they respect us [women] for who we are. Physically you may not compare but you endure the same mentally.”

So why the need for an all-women’s series?Tonner says the committee identifi ed a need

to promote more female participation in the sport and hatched the series in a bid to merge all the races that are held around the bay under the one umbrella.

The big hook is encouraging women to step up to helming and to increase the levels of boat ownership among women sailors.

“We believe that even though there were women’s events it needed to be conglomerated and embraced,” Tonner says.

“Until you give it support and it is embraced ... it can’t grow.”

Williamstown resident Tanya Stanford jumped on board the concept.

Stanford comes from a boating background, her uncle is one of the largest commercial and pleasure boat manufacturers in the country.

She grew up in Pittwater, on Sydney’s northern beaches, and was soon sailing with friends.

“I skipped the dinghy,” she laughs. “That was too much hard work. I didn’t like the tipping-over bit.”

Stanford sailed for much of her life thereafter, even fi tting in a three-year odyssey from Australia to Sweden in the late ’80s. But it was only ever a hobby.

In 2005 however, she helped create the women-in-sailing competition, which the Sandringham Yacht Club now runs, and started racing.

She’s won several trophies along the way. In 2005 she was the fi rst woman to compete in the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria’s single-handed race.

In 2008 and 2010 she took out the Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta, a fi rst for her home club.

Stanford believes this new series will encourage more women to make the step to boat ownership. She bought her boat, Nouannie, in 2009.

“I was the fi rst woman at this club to buy her own keelboat,” she says. “It’s really backward when you think about it.

“For me it’s about giving back to the crew. Even though I own the boat, any of the girls can take it up the river and they can enter any races. I think it’s fantastic, giving women who don’t own boats an opportunity to helm in a race.”

McFarlane says if she had been asked about the need for an all-women’s series before venturing into keelboat sailing she would have questioned it.

“But when you step onto keelboats, everything’s bigger,” she says. “Some would argue that there’s more strength needed to do things. And it’s a traditionally male dominated sport. I realised that, actually, there are very few women sailors on keelboats. If you go out on a boat with a bunch of blokes they tend to do everything.”

For now, McFarlane says she’s taking it slow and steady.

“As a skipper I’m pretty lousy, as our record indicates,” she says tongue in cheek. “But I guess for me my goals aren’t necessarily to win races at the moment. Although that would be great, my main goal is that everybody enjoys the experience.

“I’m still learning to sail this boat effectively myself. I’m relatively new to helming. I’ve

always crewed in the past. I’m a newbie skipper. One of the biggest challenges for any boat owner, apart from the fi nancial outlay, is just attracting and maintaining a crew.”

Stanford, a senior sailing instructor for Yachting Australia, believes the divide between men and women is all in the mind and that women can make the grade at the helm.

“Some boats you need strength and that’s where the men come into it. But then, women can work smarter to get around that strength issue. There’s a way of simplifying everything as far as I’m concerned.”

While Stanford says this series is all about fun and promoting the sport, the competitive drive in her will kick in.

“I will always do my best whatever race I go out on. We always have fun. But I’m not going to be sitting back with a glass of wine in my hand. I will do my best to make the boat perform.”

Either way it seems like Stanford will be quenching her thirst. As McFarlane points out, once the argy-bargy of racing is over the banter begins.

“Ohhhhhhhh it’s huge,” she says of the social element to the sport. “There’s the race to the fi nishing line and then the race to the bar.” �

Gazing at a portrait of GazaBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

In the frame: Ahmad Sabra with his photograph of Gaza refugees. Picture: Darren Howe

HIS photographs portray a silentpicture of suffering in Palestine, ofpeople stuck in violent conflict.

Telling the stories of refugees inPalestine through photography isclose to Ahmad Sabra’s heart.

For the 27-year-old Broadmead-ows resident, a recent trip to the GazaStrip in Palestine proved memorablein more ways than one. Firstly, it wasa trip back to his native land; now thephotos he took there are receivingaccolades in Australia.

Sabra, a photographer, is one of13 national finalists in the Qantasspirit of youth awards 365 (SOYA),which offer the first-prize winner$5000 for air travel.

Last year, across 11 categories,SOYA drew more than 20,000 entriesfrom more than 2400 young artists,designers, filmmakers, photographersand musicians.

Sabra is also one of 53 finalists forthe National Portrait Gallery’snational photographic portrait prize.The winner takes home $25,000.

He says photographing refugeeshas personal meaning for him as hemigrated to Australia from Lebanonin 1997. ‘‘I have a soft spot for them,’’

he says. ‘‘Growing up in Lebanon weused to see all the refugee camps.Going back to Gaza and seeing theirliving conditions motivated me to domore with Palestine.’’

Sabra’s work includes portraits ofPalestinian orphans, young refugeesand fishermen.

The photo he entered in theNational Portrait Gallery is of a childwhose father was killed by Israel.

‘‘The child in the orphanage has gota quirky smile on his face,’’ he says.

‘‘Most of the people in Gaza arerefugees. My whole idea was to docu-ment living as a refugee.

‘‘Government policies in Australiashould be supporting the Palestiniancause. Another reason I take thesephotos is to raise awareness of whatthey go through and to possiblyhelp.’’

The national photographic portraitprize-winner will be announced onThursday and the SOYA winner onMarch 11.

VSDCARoxburgh Park-Broadmeadows bats failed to fire

three wickets. The loss means RPB finished the

season with three wins and 21 points, behind

12th-placed Moorabbin on percentage and ahead

of last-placed Sunshine on 12 points. There will be

no finals action for RPB in lower grades, with the

South West Second XI finishing 12th of 14, the

North West Third XI 14th of 14 and the North West

Fourth XI 11th of 14.
