Wyralla moves about profitThe information provided by Macedon Ranges council to residents about the proposed sale of parkland in Wyralla Crescent, Gisborne, was minimal and selective, concentrating on an out-of-date open space strategy document from 1999. My inquiries to council produced nothing of any substance. It was only through a freedom of information application that the councillor briefing was obtained, which revealed the sad and less than full picture.

The title of the councillor briefing document is Asset Conversion Opportunities.

This stated, without any justification, that parklands have been identified as surplus to council needs.

The first eight pages of the 10-page document detailed properties and how much money could be made from their sale.

In a table at the back were brief comments from various council departments.

The planning department produced a cut and paste from the 1999 strategy. The recreation departments effort comprised no comment.

It would seem the council has overlooked the needs of residents. The whole episode is a nasty grab for cash, supported by the majority of ill-informed councillors.

ian turner, gisborne

Everyone can have a say on the RockThe Hanging Rock debate continues unabated in the local papers and on social media, in spite of the councils unanimous decision in February to undertake a full consultation process with the community.

The council is listening and consulting with the community, as it has done in the past with the many user groups that make up the Hanging Rock development advisory committee.

We all want to save the rock and, as with everything in life, it has a cost.

Whether the solution is a proposed private investment concept plan, an increase in our council rates or other alternatives, these decisions are not taken lightly.

It was heartening to see so many people recently make their first visit to this national icon. It has been in our backyard for an estimated 6 million years so we have a responsibility to maintain it and its surrounds.

Im certain that all have now seen the state of disrepair of the tennis courts, Hanging Rock Racing Club, the 80-year-old barbecues, dilapidated picnic tables, inadequate public conveniences and other facilities in urgent need of upgrade.

Additionally, the ongoing eradication programs required for weed and pest

control are to the benefit of all current and future user groups.

Are the decaying facilities in the precinct what we are willing to showcase to the rest of Australia, or indeed the world? I think not.

To maintain any asset, let alone improve it due to increasing demands, is not dissimilar to managing a growing familys budget.

Supplying daily needs and services is a challenge in itself considering the increase in costs of living, but ongoing maintenance and planning is a far greater challenge.

I, like most, value the Rock. Its sustainability is the key issue for the present and future generations.

Scurrilous behaviour, non-factual statements and misleading remarks are counterproductive, particularly when no alternative solution is offered.

Personally, I find it far more satisfying to be part of a team willing to be constructive with its comments and contributions to find a solution, knowing the good of all is being taken into account.

This initiative gives all stakeholders a number of months to lodge constructive comments and solutions for the future financial and environmental sustainability of Hanging Rock and the surrounding precinct.

To do nothing for this treasured icon is unacceptable.cr russell Mowatt, Macedon ranges council

Trentham Sustainability Group (TSG) aims to inspire more change and better environmental practices in the community by holding a World Environment Day celebration.

On June 5, the international day celebrates all things environment, raises awareness of local issues, gains political attention and inspires public action.

Charles Sherlock, of TSG, says the day reminds people to turn to their own backyards to prompt change. We want people to keep on being aware of what they can do around their homes to be more environmentally conscious.

The Trentham group has turned its focus on energy consumption. The town is dependent on electricity; there is no natural gas available.

The group has organised environmental audits of houses, from newly built homes

to Edwardian weatherboards, to see where sustainability improvements can be made.

Mr Sherlock said a crew was involved in the community garden and a group of farmers was learning how to use their farming land more economically.

As part of World Environment Day, the Trentham group is teaming up with Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group to hold a celebratory dinner. Mark Wakeham, acting chief executive of Environment Victoria, the peak organisation aiming to safeguard the environment by advocacy and education, will speak at the dinner, at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Trentham, from 6.30-7.30pm. Cost is $30; book by May 30. Details: mrsgonline.org.au

Fresh controversy has erupted after the lodging of the Sunbury out of Hume community consultation report with Local Government Minister Tim Bull.

The Broadmeadows Progress Association has raised concerns about conclusions and recommendations presented by chairwoman Amanda Millar, saying they are not supported by the reports statistics.

Mrs Millar issued a media release last week claiming considerable support had been shown for the appointment of commissioners or another independent body to protect assets and to equitably manage the Sunbury out of Hume process.

When challenged, Mrs Millar said: 35 per cent [26 out of 75] of respondents who provided a response on this issue called for the appointment of commissioners, administrators, or another independent body to oversee the transition.

This was the most common response to the question re: how to transition and the committee was of the view that 35 per cent, while not a clear majority, demonstrated considerable support in this context.

The push for administrators was laid aside earlier this year when the former local government minister Jeannette Powell reassured Hume councillors they would continue to represent their constituents until the next local elections in 2016.

However, new minister Tim Bull refused to back his former colleague when asked if

it was his intention to appoint non-elected administrators to supervise the new Sunbury entity or to take over Hume as a whole and oversee the separation of Sunbury.

It would not be appropriate to pre-empt what transition arrangements the panel may recommend, Mr Bull said.

It is not the first time the government has claimed majority support for Sunburys secession, Broadmeadows Progress Association spokeswoman Sonja Rutherford said.

Really, to draw such conclusions one would have to question the authenticity of the

[consultation] questions and the interpretation of the results, Mrs Rutherford said.

She also called into question the validity of the original poll asking Hume voters for a yes/no answer about the proposal that Sunbury secede from Hume.

The consultative committees report will be considered by three-person, government-appointed panel assigned with dividing assets and recommending new boundaries and structure for a separate Sunbury shire. The panels final report to the Minister is due by June 30. Mrs Millars report is available at the Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure departments website: www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/localgovernment/projects-and-programs.

Mothers Day came early for Sunbury mother Jane Elliott in 2012 when daughter Hayley Grace Elliott surprised her.

Hayley, who turns two on Wednesday, was born premature when Mrs Elliott was only 33 weeks pregnant.

It was a bittersweet Mothers Day gift for Mrs Elliott, who initially spent four weeks apart from her baby girl while Hayley was cared for in hospital.

It was a really scary experience, Mrs Elliott said. You dont know what to expect theres so many things going through your mind.

Mrs Elliott experienced a healthy pregnancy and said she was not expecting an early birth.

She said she was a planner and had booked her hospital bed and expected to leave hospital with lots of flowers and her baby, but she couldnt.

I couldnt hold her, I couldnt take her home, I couldnt bathe her, she said.

After spending time in the special care unit when she was born, and regular check-ups along the way, Hayley is healthy and brilliant, says her mother.

Shes just kicked goals from the moment she was born, Mrs Elliott said.

She said she hoped her story would raise awareness about premature birth and give other parents hope. She said organisations such as Lifes Little Treasures Foundation were informative and a great way to meet other parents with similar experiences.

The foundation is Australias leading charity dedicated to providing information, support and understanding to the parents of babies born premature or sick.

More information: www.lifeslittletreasures.org.au.

A happy ending

Jane Elliott and daughter Hayley. (Damjan Janevski)

Macedon Ranges council chief executive Peter Johnston says a Labor pledge to cap council rates is unreasonable and would result in a reduction of services.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews last week promised the ALP would force councils to cap annual rate increases at CPI if it wins Novembers state election.

Under the plan, councils wanting to increase rates above CPI would have to appeal to the Essential Services Commission (ESC).

Mr Johnstons concerns were echoed by Municipal Association of Victoria president Bill McArthur, who said the plans long-term consequences would wreak havoc for generations.

He said rate rise restrictions would leave councils with two choices: reduce services relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets.

CPI sits at 2.9 per cent. The average rates bill increase in the proposed Macedon Ranges council budget for 2014-15 is 4.8 per cent. For Hume, it is 4.2 per cent.

Mr Johnston said many costs, including power for street lights and insurance for buildings, increased beyond CPI every year.

The reality is that some of those significant costs go up way beyond CPI.

The council tries to keep cost increases as low as possible, but if we dont have some flexibility to sometimes increase costs, and if rate capping is in place, then the only way to make it work is to reduce some services.

There needs to be independence of council to allow that to occur.

If the state opposit ion is committed to this, maybe what it should do if it gets elected is to ensure all fees and charges for all jurisdictions increase no more than CPI.

If it wants others to do it, it should lead by example.

Mr Andrews said the rate capping policy sent a clear message to councils that any increases above CPI must provide clear benefits to ratepayers.

With the cost of living increasing and Tony Abbott and Denis Napthine increasing taxes, home owners and businesses would have confidence that they arent footing the bill for wasteful or unnecessary council spending, Mr Andrews said.

Under last weeks state budget, $2.5 million will be used for projects including the development of a new website giving people the chance to see how their council rates are being spent.

Local Government Minister Tim Bull said ratepayers would be able to use the My Council website to see how their council compared to similar councils, which would help drive improvements across local government.

Council slams rate cap plan

If it wants others to do it, it should lead by example Peter Johnston

The Hume Light$mart Program, an initiative of the City of Hume, is helping businesses with fitting energy-efficient lighting to help save money and reduce environmental impact. A number of local enterprises have already jumped on board, and are collectively saving about $13,000 each year. Barry Huxley, owner of travel agent Helloworld Sunbury, is thankful he made the switch and is already seeing big savings. Mr Huxley uses LED panels that provide extra lighting while using half the energy of the double fluorescent lights they replaced. Humes Business Efficiency Network (BEN) is hosting a forum on Thursday, May 15, from 8-11.30am at the Broadmeadows Global Learning Centre about energy efficiency financing, lighting and solar PV for business.

Sunburys SES unit is hunting for new volunteers who want to help keep the community safe.

Spokesman Jarrod Bell urged residents to step up and join the crew.

If you are interested in volunteering, this is a brilliant way of participating and helping the community, he said.

Mr Bell said people were often worried that they didnt have the time or necessary skills. But he said the SES was an inclusive service that welcomed people of all ages and backgrounds.

We provide everything from training to equipment, he said.

All you need to do is give us your time. Anyone with an interest in becoming more involved with the community is more than welcome.

Mr Bell said the units long-term goal was to double the number of volunteers to better meet the needs of the growing community.

Weve got a really good, tight crew in Sunbury who do a brilliant job day-in and day-out, but Sunbury is growing and changing.

All SES volunteers receive accredited training. An information night will be held at units headquarters in McDougall Road, Sunbury from 7.30pm on Wednesday, May 28.

For more details, visit www.facebook.com/sessunbury or call 1300 842 737.

Cancer has touched me in so many ways its all around me, Lorraine Spencer says.

Mrs Spencers mother had breast cancer and another friend is fighting bladder cancer.

Last year, the Sunbury resident took part in Relay for Life, a fund-raiser for Cancer Council Victoria. Her team raised $4200. This year, Khe Sanh team members want to double the amount and are pulling out all stops.

Mrs Spencers son-in-law Shaun Evans (pictured) is hosting a dance in Woodend

this Saturday to raise money for the team. For almost 10 years, Mr Evans stepfather has been fighting prostate and bladder cancers.

Everyone has someone in their family who has been touched by cancer, Mr Evans said. Well be doing more fund-raisers throughout the year this is kicking it off, its the first one for them.

The Relay for Life Sunbury event will be held in October. But people can kick up their heels on Saturday to the sounds from The Wild Bunch,

Proudly leading the way with totally transparent auctions.

When local identity Mr W Bodkin built this house in 1861, it was a classy Victorian, representative of his station in life.

It bopped along in the street named after him until its present owners took it by the scruff of the neck and turned it into a showcase of industrial luxe, with the best period bits retained.

A dab hand at interior design has kept the original deep skirts, floorboards, doors and ruby-glass sidelights. But theyve square-set the 3.6-metre ceilings and created contemporary living spaces decked out in crisp white, black accents and splashes of oak.

Ranged along the entry hall are three large bedrooms, including the main where the impact of the industrial luxe story begins to unfold.

Anchored by grey woollen carpet, the gorgeous room has an island wall concealing a walk-through wardrobe and an en suite featuring subway tiling, chic lightfittings, dual square basins on oak, and a walk-in shower with enormous rainhead.

Two steps at halls end lead to a dazzling living area with polished concrete floor; north-facing, black steel-framed double-glazed windows; coved ceiling; and inset wood heater, flanked by wood

storage cubes beneath ply wall panelling. This lovely area also incorporates a powder room and the main bathroom with a picture-window framing a snap of elegant bamboo, a clawfoot bath, subway tiling and a single basin on oak.

Setting its own trend, the kitchen brings together the black-and-white theme with fabulous flair: one matte black wall (others are white); glossy, black-tiled splashback; and an oak-topped island workbench juxtaposed with white cabinets.

Other perks are an electric cooktop, underbench oven and a walk-in pantry with the sort of charm that begs for jars

of preserves lining the oak shelves. The pantrys neighbour is a laundry with oak benches and storage.

A timber deck out back combines with a verandah on a rusticated garage/workshop (plumbed, power, powder room) to provide an idyllic relaxation zone that takes in views of an upper-terrace vegie/herb/cottage garden with henhouse perfectly perched.

Still want more? The property has a side concrete driveway behind a roller door, a 6.1-star energy rating and is in a spot around the corner from almost everything.
