‘Brownlow’
boys BACCHUS Marsh football is in good hands and
the proof is in the players.
Two star Bacchus Marsh Cobras players won
the junior equivalent of the ‘Brownlow’ last
Wednesday night in the Ballarat Football
League. Hamish Coulton and Riley Bishop won
prestigious Robert Allen medals in the under-16.5
and under-14 senior teams respectively.
Hamish Coulton won the Gordon Wise Memorial
Trophy for the Under-16.5 Senior Best & Fairest
player with 36 votes, 18 points clear of runner-up
Ryan Thompson from East Ballarat. The 17-year-
old collected 11 best-on-grounds and polled in
two other rounds to become the outstanding
under-16.5 player of this season. He also impressed
in interleague matches with the BFL and AFL
Goldfields, and will be one to watch in the Cobras’
finals campaign.
Rarely has a BFNL competition seen a player
dominate an awards night like Riley Bishop did
this year. The 14-year-old polled in 14 of his 16
matches, including 11 best-on-grounds, to tally
38 votes and claim the Keith Rawle Memorial
Under-14 Senior Best & Fairest trophy ahead of
Sebastopol’s Jack Butler on 27 votes. A member of
the Bacchus Marsh side which finished on top of
the ladder, Riley is sure to play a big part in this
year’s finals campaign.
Bacchus Marsh can also claim three leading
goal-kicking awards, while Darley took out two
leading goal-kicking awards for the BFL: U12
Reserves – Will Johnson (Darley) 31 goals; U14
Reserves – Connor Ascough (Darley) 44 goals; U14
Seniors – Dale Harris (Bacchus Marsh) 43 goals;
U16.5 Reserves – Blake Graham (Bacchus Marsh)

more than a thousand Scot-
tish supporters,” Flapper
said.
“Scotland is a world class
team. A couple of their play-
ers are world champions.
They deserved to make it
to the finals and went on to
win pretty easily against
England.”
It was with a feeling of déjà
vu that Flapper found him-
self in another bronze medal
play-off, this time against
India.
“I said to the team, it’s not
just going to happen, we
have got to make it happen
and we’ve got to earn the
medal. There’s only one time
you need to be in front and
that’s at the 15th end,” he
said.
The rest is now Australian
lawn bowls history. Flapper
and his team-mates defeated
India 15-14 on the final end
and won the coveted Com-
monwealth Games bronze
medal.
“I think our performance
justified a medal. Our game
against Scotland was a
cracker and we were beaten
by the best team,” he said.
Flapper said his primary
focus would now be on the
world bowls championships
in two years time in New
Zealand where he will go
from the heavy greens of
Scotland to faster greens in
New Zealand.
After that he said he would
look towards the Common-
wealth Games on the Gold
Coast in 2018. “It would be
a great experience to play on
your home dung- hill.”

and training for staff across
their municipalities.
The five councils have
worked together as the
Central Victorian Municipal
Emergency Management
Enhancement Group for
three years to share emer-
gency management resourc-
es, experience and skills.
The total project cost is
$100,000 and also includes
a commitment of funds and
in-kind support from each
council and $10,000 from
the Victorian Department of
Human Services.
The Natural Disaster Re-
silience grant will see the
group develop a regional
approach to managing Re-
lief and Recovery Centres,
which are places where resi-
dents can go for immediate
and longer-term assistance
both during and after an
emergency.
Moorabool Shire Coun-
cil confirmed that fire and
flood are the most likely
natural disasters to occur in
Moorabool.
Moorabool Mayor Paul
Tatchell welcomed the fund-
ing, which he said will de-
velop better outcomes for
communities affected by
emergencies.
“The more resilient our
communities are to disas-
ters, the quicker they recover
when a disaster occurs.
“A great partnership
amongst these five coun-
cils already exists, which is
vital as we would need to
work together and support
each other if a significant
emergency occurred in this
region.”
The project is due to com-
mence in September and will
take 12 months to complete.

Sonia
sets up
shop
NATIONALS candidate for
Buninyong Sonia Smith has
hung out her shingle at the
Ballan Hotel.
Ms Smith said she had
become the first Victorian
candidate in living memory
to set up a campaign office in
Moorabool and locals could
meet with her every Monday
from 11am at the Ballan Ho-
tel building.
“Public transport, roads
and physical access to ser-
vices are huge issues for
locals – so instead of having
them struggle to get into Bal-
larat to see me, it is only fair
that I go out to them,” Ms
Smith said.
“I want to send a signal that
every part of the Buninyong
electorate matters. I love our
country areas, I feel part of
the local community and I
feel at home here.
“My campaign is a grass
roots campaign. That’s the
way I like it and I think that’s
the way it should be.”
The former hotel – also
known for many years as
Mamas Bistro – was built
in 1860 by George Flack
and was a changing station
for Cobb and Co coaches
for many years. The build-
ing no longer operates as a
hotel, but is hub to several
businesses.
Reprieve for trees

THE Ents would be happy.
Ballan’s significant trees and
pretty foliaged streetscapes
are now protected from se-
vere pruning by an exemp-
tion from Energy Safe Victo-
ria (ESV).
Like The Lord of the Rings’
tree-like creatures which
lived in the forest of Fangorn
and existed to protect the
trees from harm, Moorabool
Shire Council has worked
slowly and patiently over the
past 16 months with Pow-
ercor to achieve a pruning
exemption from ESV.
News
Moorabool Shire general
manager infrastructure, Phil
Jeffrey, said the exemption
was to enable pruning of
trees around powerlines in
a number of streets in Bal-
lan to a lesser extent than
the Electrical Safety Act 1998
and Electricity Safety (Elec-
tric Line Clearance) Regula-
tions required.
New tree clearance regu-
lations were passed in the
Victorian Parliament in June
2010 in response to bushfire

Moorabool mayor Paul
Tatchell said the official visit
was a wonderful opportuni-
ty to show the Governor and
Mrs Chernov all that Moora-
bool Shire had to offer.
“We are a rapidly growing
local government area and it
is an ideal time to talk to the
Governor about the projects
and plans we have for the
future of Moorabool to cater
for that growth, while offer-
ing a lovely place to live and
invest,” Cr Tatchell said.

The Lerdi Listeners Program is aimed at community
members who would like to attend the Lerderderg
Library but are unable to due to limited mobility, lack
of transport access and/or family support. The program
will provide a safe assisted transport service to the
library that will enable residents to develop a social

the ability to choose their own books.
We are offering you an opportunity to:
• be picked up by a qualified staff member from your
home, via the HACC community bus,
• assist you to choose your own books at the
Lerderderg Library Bacchus Marsh,
• have the local newspaper read to you,
• free morning tea and

Alarming homeless figures FEDERAL Government funding

A staggering 130 families (includ-
ing 270 children under the age of
18), 29 couples and 156 individuals
were homeless or at risk of home-
lessness across Moorabool from
July 2013 to July 2014.
The main reasons for homelessness
or risk of homelessness were finan-
cial difficulties, family breakdown,
and inadequate or inappropriate
housing including couch surfing.

Fight still exists to build in Blackwood

CHANGES to the Bushfire Man-
agement Overlay (BMO) came into
effect across Victoria on July 31, but
the fight to build or rebuild prop-
erties in Blackwood isn’t over for
residents.
Blackwood Action Group (BAG)
member Des Peters said the group
had received confirmation from the
State Government’s Minister for
Water, Peter Walsh, that sewerage
wouldn’t be connected to homes in
Blackwood under his government.
At the August 6 Council meeting,
Mr Peters asked Moorabool Shire
CEO Rob Croxford to clarify if
Blackwood residents were able to
build.
Mr Croxford said while he was
mindful the community wanted
answers, Council’s Domestic
Wastewater Management Plan
(DWMP) was still out for public
comment (submissions closed July
31) and that, along with new BMO
details, needed to be progressed
before Council could give defini-
tive answers.
“In the event there is no sewerage
in Blackwood, this is the manage-
ment plan that will work there,”
Mr Croxford said.
Mr Peters said Moorabool Shire’s
Municipal Strategic Statement
within the planning scheme stated
Blackwood was planned to be
sewered because of ongoing water
quality issues with the Lerderderg
River.
“Is Council still advocating sew-
erage for the town as the best
way forward? How does the draft
DWMP fit with the Municipal Stra-
tegic Statement if Blackwood isn’t
likely to be sewered?” Mr Peters
said.
BAG member Brendan Hehir
said the Blackwood community
deserved to know what the true
picture and direction for the town
was.
“The community wants to know
how the DWMP will help with
building, extensions and rebuild-
ing in the town,” Mr Hehir said.
He recommended Council organ-
ise a public meeting to engage with
the Blackwood community and
explain how the DWMP could help
the town to survive and grow to
reach its full potential.
Victorian Minister for Plan-
ning Matthew Guy signed off on
Amendment VC109, which in-
cluded the BMO changes, on July 9
and they appeared in the Victoria
Government Gazette, becoming ef-
fective, on July 31.
Key features of the bushfire re-
forms included allowing private
bushfire bunkers to be built as
an alternative safety measure; al-
lowing vegetation clearance to
achieve defendable space; ensur-
ing the assessment of bushfire risk
is consistent with the Australian
Standard; allowing more sensible
bushfire safety measures in new
master-planned estates, and; allow-
ing homes to be built on infill lots
surrounded by other dwellings.
Executive director State Planning,
Building Systems & Strategy (De-
partment of Transport, Planning
and Local Infrastructure), John
Ginivan, briefed local govern-
ments across Victoria on July 31 on
the BMO changes.
Mr Ginivan said some of the big
changes to the BMO came out of
the Bushfire Royal Commission
and included extensive map-
ping of bushfire hazard areas and
greater flexibility in responding to
bushfires.
“The basis of the VC109 reforms is
around finding the right balance.
It’s going to depend on individual
needs and government priorities.
The risk profile of people living
in fire prone areas will only go up
with the increasing population,”
Mr Ginivan said.
“The key difference is these chang-
es will provide a greater amount of
choices and give residents a much
greater flexibility to address what-
ever hazard they’re exposed to. It
also gives greater certainty.”
He said the BMO changes ena-
bled more specific controls over
the boxes that needed to be ticked
off for permits and would elevate
the significance of how councils
worked with fire agencies. “The
other layer is the continued roll out
of Neighbourhood Safe Places and
fire refuges.”
He said the $700,000 assistance
fund for landholders and councils
($350,000 over two years) was in-
tended to provide additional sup-
port and guidance for the more
difficult building sites.
“In terms of permits the primary
source of contact is the local gov-
ernment and applicants will sort
out their problems at a local gov-
ernment level,” Mr Ginivan said.
“The funding will also support
local governments where further
local policy development work is
necessary. We don’t envisage this
as being a grants program for in-
dividuals, rather it will be for pro-
visional services, for example a fire
impact assessment report as part of
an application.”
Founder – Victims of the BMO,
Kate Cotter, said the revised BMO
improved the ability of applicants
to address bushfire risk through a
range of approved and alternative
measures.
“The BMO can now be considered
the framework for addressing ‘ac-
ceptable risk’, giving applicants
the flexible and evidence based ap-
proach for addressing all levels of
bushfire risk,” Ms Cotter said.
She said the major flaw in the re-
vised BMO was that it continued
to reference a precautionary prin-
ciple and the term ‘acceptable risk’.
“These statements are superfluous
to the planning provisions and
have been previously applied in
a prejudicial manner by councils
and the CFA, which caused signifi-
cant hardship on applicants.”
“The CFA have been removed
as the BMO determining referral
authority and are now the recom-
mending referral authority. This is
an improvement for applicants,”
she said.
She said if the term acceptable risk
remained in the planning provi-
sions, the CFA could continue to
provide non-evidence based rec-
ommendations and few council
town planners would feel they had
the authority or bushfire expertise
to ignore CFA advice.
She said overall the BMO had been
vastly improved and “the Minister
should be congratulated on deliv-
ering a planning scheme that aims
to address bushfire risk in a rea-
sonable and responsible manner.”

Dear Editor,
The Balliang & District Fire
Brigade has just been ad-
vised that we will be receiv-
ing a $2275 grant under the
Volunteer Emergency Ser-
vices Equipment Program
(VESEP) for the purchase of
an Automated Defibrillator.
VESEP supports local pro-
jects on a two-for-one basis,
adding the grant money to
locally raised funds, so the
Brigade would like to thank
both the State Government
and every member of our
community that helped to
raise the local funds.
The VESEP grants program
is popular with volunteers
because it adds to the buy-
ing power of every dollar
the Brigade and community
have raised. We congratulate
the Government for working
with our association, Volun-
teer Fire Brigades Victoria, to
design a program that is low
on paperwork and provides
us with a tick list that al-
lows us to choose the types
of equipment, vehicles and
small amenity grants that
we feel can be used to best
protect and support our lo-
cal community.
As CFA volunteers, we train
for nationally recognised
qualifications and provide
professional standards of
emergency response to this
community, as well as con-
tributing to the protection of
60% of suburban Melbourne,
regional cities and all of
country Victoria, every day
and night of the year.
This VESEP grant and the
support of the local commu-
nity will help us to continue
to provide that vital service.
Andrew Prime,Secretary
Balliang & District Fire

Dear Editor,
In response to Rose de la
cruz’s letter (MN 19 August)
with regard to my comment
on her interest in the possi-
ble plan for a gold mine in Mt
Egerton, I would like to cor-
rect a few misconceptions.
I have been vitally inter-
ested in the granting of a
permit issued to WestWind
Energy in November 2010
to build a 107 turbine wind
energy facility in the Bungal
Tap and Ballark areas of the
Moorabool Shire for the fol-
lowing reasons.
The closest turbine is
only 1000 metres from my
dwelling.
I am aware that Ms de la
cruz did not attend the Panel
Hearing each day as we did,
where many extremely well
researched and well docu-
mented submissions were
presented on both sides.
Health issues and ugliness
were just some of their many
concerns. As environmen-
talists Moorabool Environ-
ment Group (MEG) must be
aware that the presence of
huge unnatural structures
built in the middle of our
rural landscape have the
potential to adversely effect
eagles, other bird life and
bats to mention a few. On
reading Tom Kingston’s last
beautiful contribution (En-
vironmental Opinion MN 19
August) about the top preda-
tor in the Yellowstone Park
in the US being restored to
its rightful place in nature, I
cannot help worrying about
the impact the very large
turbines planned in our
shire could have on our na-
tive birds. This is an ecologi-
cal concern.
I am not about to dispute or
deny that climate change is
real and I agree we need re-
newable energy. In a coun-
try as warm and sunny as
Australia I think it is much
more sensible to invest in
more solar projects.

The usual catch cry that
those of us who speak out
are anti-renewable energy
and pro fossil fuel is grossly
unfair and patently untrue.
I do not oppose renewable
energy at all. We are caught
in the middle of the politics
of the issue and are used by
both sides to gain points to
back up their arguments.

Central Highlands Netball League merges

The statement said that all

Presentation
Tom Sullivan will represent
the Shire on the board of
a new combined waste
management group.
Highlands Regional Waste
Management Group has
been merged with the
Grampians Regional Waste
Management Group and
the Desert Fringe Regional
Waste Management Group
to become the Grampians
Central West Waste and
Resource Recovery Group
(GCWWRRG).
A statement released by
the GCWWRRG, effective
from Friday 1 August,
said the merger is part of
the Victorian Government
13&U B&F Winner - 13&U R/Up – 15&U R/Up – program of reforms so that
Jordan Barry (Clunes) Jaye Dalgleish (Gordon) Tess Raak (Hepburn) the relevant government
agencies involved in waste
and resource recovery can
best deliver on Getting Full
Value - “a 30 year vision to
meet a growing Victoria’s
waste and resource recovery
needs.”
The new GCWWRRG will
cover a much larger area
- from Bacchus Marsh in
Moorabool Shire through to
current staff members have
transferred across to the
new group and all offices
will remain open during the
transition period.
The board consists of
four councillors with Cr
Tom Sullivan serving as
Chairman, along with Cr
Kevin Erwin from Northern
Grampians Shire Council, Cr
Barry Rinaldi from Central
Goldfields Shire Council and
Cr Andrew McLean from
Yarriambiack Shire Council.
Four directors have also
been appointed - Jeff Rigby,
Patrick Goodall, Robert
Miller and Noel Perry.
“The changes to the
regional waste management
groups will strengthen
their role across the region
as the new regional plan is
developed to ensure that the
right infrastructure is in the
right place to divert waste
from landfill and create
more value from recovered
materials,” Cr Sullivan said.
“And the new group
is looking forward to
developing positive
relationships with the 12
some exciting opportunities
in waste as part of the State
Government’s Getting Full
Value, the Victorian Waste
and Resource Recovery
Policy.”
A spokesperson for the
new organisation said that
all staff members have
transitioned with no jobs
lost.
“However it is likely that
some roles will be adjusted
to fit in with the aims of
the new group given that
there will be additional
responsibilities in the area of
commercial and industrial
waste and construction and
demolition waste for the
new group.
“The new group will also
be covering a very large
area and while some roles
can be streamlined to fit in
with area, there is limited
scope for some roles to cover
the entire geographic region
on their own. At the stage
the board is yet to meet to
discuss the types of roles
that will be required in the
new group.”

Environmental Opinion
TOM

with Tom Kingston

The ugly effect of the

animal food chain
In last week’s opinion
piece I wrote about the
positive effect the reintro-
duction of the wolf into
Yellowstone National Park
has had on the ecosystem
of the park. This week I
would like to recount a tale
of what happens in reverse
and add a comment on
air-travel, both under the
theme of the ‘inadvertent.”
A whole article could be
written on ‘inadvertent’
but maybe at a later date.
The first tale of the ‘in-
advertent’ is courtesy of
“What Has Nature Ever
Done for Us” by Tony Juni-
per (Profile Books, United
Kingdom, 2013). Vultures
have become virtually
extinct across the Indian
subcontinent today. It was
only when these birds were
gone that people realised
just how important they
were to the well-being of
millions of people. For cen-
turies, India’s vultures per-
formed an essential clean-
ing function, eating the
flesh of the many dead ani-
mals that littered the coun-
tryside (Here in Tasmania
the ravens are on every
roadside doing the same
thing). A hungry flock of
vultures would clean up
the carcass of a dead cow in
a matter of minutes, leav-
ing only bones. So when
the vultures disappeared
and the putrefying fly-
ridden corpses were left to
rot under the hot sun, the
effects were disastrous and
wide-ranging.
And here is the tragedy in
this story – the Indian vul-
tures were not killed off by
chaps with guns and hunt-
ing parties of the wealthy,
or even by traps and the
like – no Indian vultures
were killed off much more
‘inadvertently’. And isn’t
the inadvertent one of
the main causes of all our
problems; the inadvertent
side effects of the burning
of coal, the inadvertent side
effects of the use of fertilis-
ers. Maybe, when whoever
looks back on the demise
of our system they will see
the word ‘inadvertent’ writ
large.
Back to the Indian vul-
tures – the killing off of
all these millions of vul-
tures was the result of the
anti-inflammatory drugs
injected into cattle and
buffalo. When these farm
animals died, residues left
in their carcasses were in-
gested by vultures – and it
proved fatal to them. And
so these vultures that were,
between them eating 12
million tonnes of flesh each
year were no longer do-
ing this. With no vultures
to clean up, there was an
explosion in the popula-
tion of wild dogs, which
had more food. More dogs
led to more dog bites, and
that caused more rabies
infections among people.
The disease killed tens of
thousands, in the process
costing the Indian econo-
my a figure in excess of $30
billion.
* * * * *
The second tale is of the
‘inadvertent’ effects of air
travel. Of late, flying has
been in the news. There
have been tragedies in the
air and ‘you should consid-
er your need to travel’ has
oft been quoted. However,
that has not stopped our
federal leaders from flying
here and there. For exam-
ple our Prime Minister flew
to the Netherlands to give a
speech while our Treasurer
has recently flown all over
Australia to meet and greet
members of the PUP Party.
It is not just our erstwhile
leaders who have this ten-
dency to fly here and there
as we ourselves are more
likely to fly these days
than ever before. As I have
mentioned before in this
opinion piece by flying, put
rather simply, our personal
contribution to adding
carbon to the atmosphere
is generally second to
none. Burning fuel at high
altitude has nearly three
times the climate impact
of burning the same fuel at
ground level. There is add-
ed complexity to this issue
because the nitrous oxides
created are 310 times more
powerful than carbon di-
oxide, and the effects from
condensation trails (con-
trails) are difficult to quan-
tify. George Marshall, au-
thor of Carbon Detox, has
calculated that a holiday
to Australia for a family of
four living in the UK has
the same climate impact as
heating their average size
house for a decade.
The carbon that a tree
soaks up in a few decades
is equated with the carbon
released by burning ages-
old fossil fuel in a single
flight. For the above facts
and details I am indebted
to Thea Ormerod (Eureka
Street, August, 2014)
What is your opinion?

samy Park signs at drive-
