Keeping St Kilda Road safeIsn’t it great to see the sun fi nally starting to show as we move into spring.

Th e 3004 area has to be one of the most beautiful areas in spring particularly along the St Kilda Road Boulevard. Of course with the nice weather comes more people jumping on their bikes and riding to work and two things arise from a police point of view – bike collisions and bike security.

Most bike collisions come from drivers not seeing the cyclist and while it’s easy to blame the driver, there are a few things that cyclists can do to reduce the chances of a collision. One of the easiest is obviously to make yourself seen – bright clothing and displaying a fl ag on your bike all help drivers to see what’s coming.

Perhaps one thing that may not be considered as much is anticipation by the cyclist. While you may well have right of way and not end up being at fault when the collision occurs, the cyclist will always end up being worse off . So as a cyclist you need to anticipate what might happen. When I was taught to

drive, my parents instilled in me that I needed to believe that I was the only one that could drive and everyone else on the road had no idea. Th eir reasoning was that if I was anticipating that other road users would do the unexpected then I would be prepared for it. It’s no diff erent when you’re on a bike – perhaps it’s even more important.

Th e other major concern is around the use of headphones. If you ride with earphones in listening to music then you are losing your peripheral awareness. You fail to hear what’s going on around you and if that happens then you will be unable to prepare for the unexpected.

Bike security is the other major issue for police when the warmer months start. It amazes me the number of expensive bikes that are secured so poorly. Why bother spending all that money on a great bike if you’re not going to spend the money on good security for it? Likewise, unless you are actually storing your bike inside your apartment, you still need to secure it in the carpark or foyer of your building. Developers and building owners will tell you that your building carpark is secure but if you actually look at how slowly

the carpark gate or the foyer sliding doors take to close you will realise just how easy it is for someone to follow in behind a car or a person without anyone really noticing. If your bike is not secured then they can just walk in and ride out.

‘till next time,Steve

Plan to break cycle of collisionsSt Kilda Road is the state’s most dangerous road for cyclists.

By Senior Sergeant Steve Bills

Th ought for the day…

� e world is full of magical things patiently

waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Bertrand Russell

Th ere were 117 reported bike collisions along St Kilda Road from 2008 to 2012. More cyclists are injured by car doorings – where drivers or passengers open vehicle doors in the path of cyclists - on St Kilda Road than any other road in the state.

In a bid to combat the problem, Port Phillip Council is calling for funding for separate bike lanes to prevent bike riders from being injured.

Of all collisions on St Kilda Road, doorings account for 39 per cent. Th ese fi gures do not include near misses or minor accidents which are not reported.

Port Phillip Mayor Amanda

Stevens said the council was seeking State Government funding to provide greater safety and comfort for bike riders, who make 1.2 million bike trips annually along the busy thoroughfare.

“Council believes the best solution is to introduce Copenhagen-style bicycle lanes to move bike riders out of the dooring zone. Addressing this safety issue is critical as increasing numbers of bike riders are using this key transport corridor.”

Th e plan involves installing two metre-wide bike lanes on the outer service lanes along St Kilda Road from Linlithgow Avenue, Southbank, to Carlisle Street, St

Kilda. A metre-wide raised island would separate bike riders from parked and moving car traffi c.

Under the proposal, car parking would be retained in the service lanes during the off -peak, with two through lanes of traffi c fl ow in peak hours.

No change is required to infrastructure along the central St Kilda Road lanes and no net reduction in peak hour vehicle capacity along St Kilda Road is expected after the implementation of separated bike lanes.

Cr Stevens thanked the RACV, Bicycle Network, Amy Gillett Foundation and Road Safety Action

Group – Inner Melbourne for supporting the council’s proposal.

“Th is is a transport priority for us. We are eager to make a start to reduce injuries and encourage more bike riders to reduce traffi c and tram congestion along transport corridor,” she said.

Th e total construction cost is $12 million. Ongoing maintenance costs are expected to be around $40,000 per annum to cover the repair and replacement of new signage, clearing of hazards and cleaning.

RETROSPECTIVE LOOK AT THE MARKETA central market place in the municipality of Prahran was organised by the Prahran Council in 1864 in Greville Street where a smaller Prahran Market began. It wasn’t until

1891 that the Prahran Market opened in its current Commercial Road location.Th e market was extended in 1923 at a cost of 80,000 pounds. Even Th e Great Depression of the 1930s had little impact on the market. It became a

distribution point of groceries, clothing and boots for the unemployed.In the years of World War II, most of the men in the market went to war and their wives and children took on the hard job of buying, carting and selling the produce.

On Boxing Day 1950, the fruit and vegetable section of the market was gutted by fi re. Shortly after the fi re the Prahran City Council began talks to update the complex.After the fi re the council erected a temporary replacement structure and it was not until 1972, that they appointed Gunn Hyball Pty Ltd to complete a new market.

Th e fi nal stage was completed in 1976 at a total cost of $6.5 million.In 1994, council appointed an independent board to run the market, free from political interference. While other Melbourne markets were experiencing a downwards trend in food retailing, Prahran Market became home to Australia’s food experts. Prahran became a place to

discover new and unique produce and a place to learn about the latest cooking trends.

� e Melbourne Tigers have been adored by basketball fans since they joined the NBL in 1984. In May, the club, based in Queens Road, changed its name to Melbourne United. Twenty-nine-year-old, 6’7” forward, Lucas Walker told 3004 News about the team’s hopes for the season ahead which begins on 12 October.

How long have you been with Melbourne United?

I have been with Melbourne United, or Melbourne Tigers as we used to be known for my entire professional career. I started training with the group before I went to college in America. I was 19 when I went to the USA for fi ve years and each summer I came back and would train with Melbourne.

Has it always been your dream to play basketball?

I think I was more interested in playing football, to be honest, but basketball had some opportunities that couldn’t be passed up.

Why do Melbournians love basketball?

I think it’s the number one participant sport for juniors in Melbourne. If I’m not mistaken, there are more 230,000 kids playing basketball in Victoria. I think it’s for the same reasons as my parents got me involved in basketball. All sports are good for creating solid habits and teaching responsibility and commitment.

Why should we get behind Melbourne United and come along to a game?

It’s fun and fast-paced. It’s an exciting sport. Our team has a fantastic crowd following and we really engage with our supporters. Clinics are held at half time, there’s pre-game activities, mascots, and face painting for the kids. It’s a great environment for the whole family.

You travel around the country to games, what’s so special about Melbourne?

Even though I was born in Tasmania, I love Melbourne. I like to go out and eat at the diff erent restaurants and cafes around Melbourne.

At the time of going to print, United was undefeated in preseason. How do you think United will fare this season?

We fi nished third last year and we’ve got really high hopes for this season. We’ve got a pretty experienced roster. Th ere’s a mixture of guys who have played in the Olympics, some just back from the European leagues, and then two imports from the NBA. I’m really excited about what the future holds.

Round 1 of the 2014-15 season kicks o� with Melbourne United v Cairns at Highsense Arena at 2pm on Sunday, 12 October.

Th ink Pink in October

Th e Living Centre is a non-clinical wellness centre within the heart of the St Kilda Road business district, providing support services to those diagnosed with breast cancer. Support includes sessions with a breast care nurse, counselling, massage, wig fi tting and other support services – all free of charge.

Th e breast cancer journey is an emotional and physical roller coaster and a breast cancer diagnosis can bring a range of unexpected emotions. Th ere is also sometimes concern about body image, sexuality and changes in physical appearance that may be challenging issues to cope with for some patients. For others, a breast cancer diagnosis may bring fi nancial hardship.

Uncertainty and fear for the future, changes in personal and family relationships, a sense of isolation – these are just some of the normal feelings that may be felt when one is diagnosed.

It was these feelings that led chairwoman of Th e Foundation and Founder of Th e Living Centre, Irene Hendel to set Th ink Pink on its course.

When Irene had her second brush with breast cancer in

2003, she underwent daily radiotherapy for six weeks. It was during this time she came into contact with many women who were, due to their breast cancer, fi nding it diffi cult to hold down their jobs and make ends meet fi nancially. At Th ink Pink, these circumstances re referred to as “cancer induced poverty”.

“It was on my second journey with breast cancer whilst I was sitting in the hospital room every day for six weeks, waiting to receive my radiotherapy in 2004, that my thinking started to shift from the support of research for a cure – to how do we help and support these women who are diagnosed and being treated for the disease today,” Irene said.

In September 2006, Th ink Pink set upon the task to raise suffi cient funds to establish its own unique state-of-the-art, independent and non-clinical wellness facility called Th e Living Centre. Th e Centre offi cially opened in September 2010.

Its mission is to provide practical support and to enable a better journey through breast cancer for patients and their families - and make a diff erence today.

Within the limits of 3004 is one of Melbourne’s hidden secrets – Th e Living Centre, the jewel in the crown of the Th ink Pink Foundation.

LIFTING THE LID ON BREAST CANCER

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Th ink Pink Foundation will be launching a signature

fundraising program with Brunetti outlets.

Th ink Pink will launch the Pink Lid Campaign – choose a takeaway coff ee from Brunetti’s City Square, Myer and Carlton stores and they will serve it with a pink lid, donating to Th e Living Centre.

You can join in at your work place or home. Th e pink lids and matching cups are available to purchase online – 100 or 1,000.

Every day when you make your coff ee, you will be making a diff erence to someone else’s day, supporting a better

journey for them while living with breast cancer. It is an astonishing fact, but one in eight women will be diagnosed

with breast cancer in their lifetime, so a place like Th e Living Centre is very much needed in the community.

Pre-order your pink lids and cups online at www.thinkpink.org.au

Th ere are other ways to get involved during the month of October by raising awareness in your community, by having pink lids next to

your coff ee machine, holding a fundraiser or hosted event in your community, or by attending and event, like the Putt For Pink Golf

Day held with the support of Melbourne City Football Club.

Play your part and make a diff erence today to someone living with breast cancer.

CLEM NEWTON-BROWN- LIBERAL PRAHRANCan you tell 3004 News readers a little bit about yourself ?I am 46 years old, married with three school age children. Prior to my election in 2010 I was a barrister

specialising in planning law. I also have a background in small business on the Yarra River, having set up the fi rst water taxi service over 20 years ago as well as Ponyfi sh Island cafe at Southgate. In Parliament I have served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education and as Chair of the Law Reform Committee. What are some of the unique challenges and issues the electorate faces?Th e 3004 area faces traffi c fl ow challenges that need to be addressed. Queens Lane has become intolerable during peak hours and I am committed to fi nding short term solutions as well as long term masterplanning for the area. Th e 3004 area is a great place to live but there are few community facilities and this is something I intend to address too. Maintaining our liveability is important to me and over half of the electorate is now protected by the toughest planning zone in the country, the Neighbourhood Residential

zone, which restricts development to no more than two storeys.What are your priorities for the electorate?If the community wants to see a new secondary school delivered as well as the Melbourne Rail Link tunnel with an underground station in Domain and a link to the airport then these will only occur under a Napthine Government. Th e new Melbourne Polytechnic TAFE, the Gifted Student Academy at Melbourne High and the new secondary school are all education projects that have been instigated under the Napthine Government and not one of these has the support of the Labor Opposition. What is your party’s solution to fi x public transport woes?Th e Napthine Government has reversed the decline in public transport that we saw under the previous government. Th ere are 10 000 more public transport services per week now and reliability and punctuality are at record highs.

Th ere are more trains, more buses and more trams now and the Napthine Government is in a strong position to deliver the Melbourne Rail Link which will set Melbourne up to continue to be the world’s most liveable city. Unlike the Labor rail tunnel plan, the Melbourne Rail Link is fully budgeted and works will commence by 2017. In parallel with public transport investment we will also fi x Punt Rd congestion and complete the East West tunnel which is the missing link in our arterial road network.Is there anything you’d like to say to Prahran voters?It has been a real pleasure to represent you as your local Member of Parliament in the Napthine Government. Much has been achieved but there is still plenty more to do and I hope I get the opportunity to continue to deliver for the local community. I am always available to talk about local concerns and can be contacted anytime on 99819501.

Electoral District2000-2001 Redivision

MARTIN FOLEY - ALPALBERT PARKCan you tell 3004 News readers a little bit about yourself?I live locally in the home my grandparents moved into in 1937 and the home my mum grew up in. It’s where I live with my partner, Sharon and our two children - Emma and Tom. My kids go to local public schools and our family is fi rmly entrenched in the local area. I have been the Member for Albert Park since 2007 following a career in government, community sector and representing working people. I hold the Shadow Minister Portfolios for Victorian Labor in Arts, Water, Youth Aff airs and LGBTI Equality.

What are some of the unique challenges and issues the electorate faces?Four years of being ignored by the Liberal Government and a lack of investment in local education has meant local schools are at capacity. Our trams are overcrowded; cuts to critical Health and Emergency Services at the Alfred has resulted in targets not being met and ambulances ramping. If that wasn’t bad enough we now have the highest unemployment rate in 15 years. Now we see a developer free-for-all planned for Fishermans Bend by the Liberal Government, where 80,000 people will cram into high-rise high-density towers without funding or plans for services. Our local services are bursting at the seams and we risk losing what is so wonderful about living in this community.What are your priorities for the electorate?We need an urgent investment plan in community and people. Victorian Labor will rebuild and invest in local schools after four years of cuts and neglect. If we are elected, Labor will build a new primary school in our fi rst term of Government - South Melbourne Park Primary School and also expand Albert Park College. In addition we will fi x up the mess of

the long-promised Fishermans Bend school at Ferrar Street and do what this government has ignored - determine the contamination levels of the site and make sure the site is fi t for a school for young people. We have committed $2 million to rebuild South Melbourne Life Saving Club in partnership with the Council making it a $4 million investment. We will protect precious open space and parkland from the development frenzy and funding cuts to Parks Victoria.Victorian Labor will put people fi rst. What is your party’s solution to fi x public transport woes?We will build Melbourne Metro Rail, roll out Homesafe - a plan for 24-hour public transport on weekends, provide free CBD trams and cap zone 1 + 2 fares at zone 1 prices for trams, buses and trains. In addition we have committed to removing 50 of the most congested and dangerous rail level crossings. Melbourne Metro will provide fi ve underground stations in areas of Melbourne’s education and Health precincts - with a major station at St Kilda road Domain, will double the capacity of the city loop, ease congestion

off St Kilda Road and Swanston Street and take people to where they need to go. Th is project is fully costed, with a business plan and has been deemed by Infrastructure Australia as the number one priority for Victoria. Do it once and do it right. Th e stark contrast is the Napthine Government’s East West dud tunnel that will do nothing to fi x congestion on our road and their botched Melbourne Rail scheme. Building for it won’t start for years and it won’t be fi nished for a decade and we will see chaos in parts of South Melbourne and Albert Park.Is there anything you’d like to say to voters?Our local community have a right to expect a representative who will champion their interests - and not be an apologist for four years of neglect and cuts. Th e local community needs a local champion who will advocate for their services and their needs. Someone dedicated to community and committed to fairness. We need a government committed to education, health, jobs and transport and services and to putting people fi rst. We can’t endure four more years like the last four.

Suburbs:

Albert Park, Middle Park, Port Melbourne and South Melbourne. Parts of the suburbs of Elwood and St Kilda.

Features: Th e district has leafy residential areas, sporting and

recreational facilities and the Fishermens Bend industrial area. It features Albert Park Lake, the Grand Prix Racing Circuit,

and the cosmopolitan precincts of Fitzroy and Acland Streets.

SAM HIBBINS - GREENSPRAHRANCan you tell 3004 News readers a little bit about yourself?I love living in Prahran and my work as councillor for the City of Stonnington.

I have a background in social services, having worked for the Salvation Army and Department of Human Services.My qualifi cations include a Diploma of Liberal Arts, Bachelor of Social Science and Post-Graduate Diploma in Social Research and Policy.On council, I have focused on fi xing up Chapel Street through the Chapel Street Masterplan, improving cycling with $4.5 Million to be invested in cycling over 5 years and championing sustainability for residents through our new sustainability outreach program. What are some of the unique challenges and issues the electorate faces?Th e Prahran electorate is a great place to live but our area faces challenge to maintain its liveability and prosperity.Population growth and inaction from the state government has put a strain on transport, services and amenity.

Th ere also remains a need for social services and support for those who are disadvantaged in our community.What are your priorities for the electorate?My priority is to keep Prahran liveable and make sure the we don’t lose the reasons we love living here. We can do that by putting on more train and tram services to reduce over crowding and create more open space by making developers pay an increased open space levy. What is your party’s solution to fi x public transport woes?Our position on public transport is clear. We will stop the East-West Tollway and invest the $18b in creating a world class public transport system that will have:• More trains and trams during peak

hour when you need them

• Filled in the missing links in our tram network including Park Street connection for easy access to South Melbourne, Docklands and CBD West.

• Extended train lines to Airport, Docaster and Rowville.

• Safer cycling including separated bike lanes along St.Kilda Rd and secure bike parking at train stations.

Is there anything you’d like to say to Prahran voters?Prahran is winnable seat for the Greens, we need at extra 2,500 votes to win. If elected, I be will be a strong independent voice for our community that will stand up for values we share. I’m standing for an economy powered by clean energy, educational opportunities for all through a strong TAFE sector and a prosperous, healthy community.

DAVE COLLIS - GREENSALBERT PARKCan you tell 3004 News readers a little bit about yourself?Albert Park is my home and I love living here. I work as a lecturer at the

University of Melbourne, running a scholarship program for Australian Indigenous students. I’m a passionate believer that our learning institutions – schools, universities, TAFEs – ought to be inclusive of people from all backgrounds. My family is originally from a fi shing village in Scotland. I’m drawn to live by the beach, and to do everything I can to ensure that we take real action on Climate Change to protect our planet and our beautiful bayside suburbs. What are some of the unique challenges and issues the electorate faces?People are drawn to Albert Park because it is a fantastic place to live. Th is liveability is under threat from successive state governments who seem to be asleep at the wheel in terms of providing schools, reliable and well-connected

public transport, and planning that takes the views of residents into account.What are your priorities for the electorate?To ensure that our area remains a great place to live. Th is means that when we plan new development, in areas such as Fishermans Bend, we need to ensure at the outset that it includes all the ingredients that make a place great – good public transport, bike paths, schools, aff ordable housing, a wide diversity of people, public open spaces, and creative local businesses. What is your party’s solution to fi x public transport woes?We are the only party truly committed to stopping the East West Toll Road, and instead make public transport and a serious investment into our cycling infrastructure the fi rst priorities. Our alternative is to ensure that our tram networks are fully

connected, including a direct link from Park Street to Domain Interchange, that there are Copenhagen-style bike lanes all the way from St Kilda to the city, that there are safe storage areas for bikes at train stations, and that the train network extends all the way to Doncaster, Rowville, and the Airport. Th ese investments will lead to less traffi c congestion and less cars crowding our streets.Is there anything you’d like to say to Albert Park voters?Many people in Albert Park share Greens values and are increasingly disappointed with lazy government from both of the old parties. I want them to know they have a real choice this year. Th e best way to stand up for clean renewable energy, good educational opportunities, and liveable suburbs is to vote Green this November.

NEIL PHARAOH - ALPPRAHRAN

Can you tell 3004 News readers a little bit about yourself?I chose the Prahran area as my home over 9 years ago, and since then have made South Yarra and more recently Windsor my home. I fi rst moved to Melbourne to work on St Kilda Road for EDS,

and since then have worked in Business Development and Corporate Aff airs roles within Child Welfare and more recently at Th e Foundation for Young Australians. I come from a diverse background, my Mum’s family migrated from Italy and my Dad from New Zealand, my step-mum is from China, and my half-sister is bilingual and I hope to bring all these elements of diversity, to the Prahran area. What are some of the unique challenges and issues the electorate faces?Th e peak hour crush takes its toll on locals, and we now have less train services in some part of our electorate than four years ago. While we have many school options, we don’t have a public secondary school as the former Liberal government closed and sold four schools locally, leading to overcrowding and lack of options for parents. While we have Th e Alfred Hospital in our electorate, ambulance waiting times in Prahran are

longer than many parts of Victoria.What are your priorities for the electorate?I am committed to education locally - ensuring that we have a world class secondary school, that our local TAFE is rebuilt, and that local community learning centres are supported. I want to see small businesses in Prahran continue to grow. With unemployment at 7%, and youth unemployment at a 15 year high of 14%, not enough is being done to encourage that. I want local solutions to transport – the metro rail tunnel, station and tram stop upgrades, restoring services on the Frankston Line. I am also dedicated to keeping our community liveable and vibrant. People in Prahran should have a say in local development. What is your party’s solution to fi x public transport woes?Labor will deliver a quicker, easier, and safer public transport system. For users in

Prahran, Melbourne Metro will provide direct service to Flinders St, with increased capacity, and new stations at Melbourne University, Royal Children’s Hospital, CBD North and CBD South. Under the Liberals Rail Link you will not be able to go direct to Flinders St and you will have to travel through an additional three stations to get into the City. Labor will also deliver HomeSafe, to provide all night public transport on Friday and Saturday nights. And it will remove 50 of the most dangerous level crossings in Victoria.Is there anything you’d like to say to Prahran voters?Labor will deliver a quicker, easier, and safer public transport system. Judge the Liberals and the current member on their record. Last election the Liberal’s promised four public transport projects including a rail link to Melbourne Airport, Rowville, Doncaster, and Avalon Airport. None of those have been delivered.

Pprecinct round-up

City tops world’s bestIt’s something we already knew but the Global Liveability Index has confi rmed it – Melbourne is the world’s most liveable city.

Melbourne topped the index by the Economist Intelligence Unit for the fourth consecutive year.

Th e EIU Liveability Index is the world’s most widely accepted

ranking of liveability, comparing 140 of the world’s major cities.

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said Melbourne excelled in the fi ve criteria: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

“To be named the world’s most liveable city for four consecutive years is a great honour and a testament to the enviable lifestyle that Melbourne off ers,” Cr Doyle said.

“Safety, sustainability and smart growth have been the keys to Melbourne’s liveability and prosperity. Providing transport and infrastructure have been key elements in smart growth.

“Melbourne brings together commerce, education, health, sport, cultural and residential areas, all of which can be accessed by foot, on bike, in cars or public transport.”

Th e City of Port Phillip is looking to support 20 local workplaces, organisations and community groups along St Kilda Road to host their own events in celebration of Ride2Work Day on Wednesday, 15 October.

Th e council will provide advice, promotional material, prizes and free fruit boxes to participating workplaces and groups, plus connections with local bike shops in the lead up to the day.

Parking fi nes revokedTh e City of Melbourne will withdraw or refund 34,800 parking infringement notices as a result of an administrative error that led to parking infringements being reissued without the correct authorisation.

Th e error relates only to cases where the registered owner of the vehicle received a parking infringement and nominated someone else as being the driver at the time of the off ence. Th is process requires the parking infringement notice to be reissued by a City of Melbourne employee authorised under the Road Safety Act.

In 2012, two administrative staff had their authorisation to reissue parking infringement notices revoked in error. Th e administrative staff were not aware their authorisations had been revoked and continued to reissue parking infringements.

Th e error only relates to parking infringements reissued between 6 July 2012 and 30 June 2014.

Of the 34,800 parking infringements,16,200 have already been paid and will be refunded at a cost to the council of $1.46 million. A further 18,600 parking infringements that are still outstanding will be withdrawn. Th e net fi nancial impact of the error is $3.2 million.

Th e parking infringements to be withdrawn or refunded represent 4 per cent of the total parking infringement notices issued between July 2012 and June 2014.

TALKING TECHNOLOGY

TO BOOST BUSINESS If you have the mindset of one-

size-fi ts-all and that one photo of yourself is good enough, then you will severely hinder the ‘Know, Like and Trust you’ journey that your target market must go on, in order to perceive you as a leader and an expert, in your fi eld.Your goal when building your personal brand should be to have your target market see you as the go-to person so that they call you to solve their problems and of course purchase your products and services instead of your competitors which in turn, will greatly increase your bottom line. In order to build your Personal Brand you’ll need to consider these three key aspects: Publication: Th ere is, what I term, the ‘Five publication avenues,’ in which you will be using your photos.1. Website: Home, products/

services and About us pages.2. Social Media: Facebook,

Linkedin Twitter.3. On-line: Newsletters,

blogs, email signatures.4. Print: Flyers, books, business cards.5. Traditional Media: Press

releases, media kit, magazines

Audience: To whom are you speaking to and who is listening to you?Firstly, think of your target market and then consider the Five publication avenues with the view of fi ne-tuning what and how your audience, in each of them, wants and expects to see from you. Th is determines the visual message you prepare for them. Message: How will you present yourself in your various photos?Th inking of your dress sense, style, expressions and poses plus the way the photos are taken: Full length, ¾, ½ or Headshots, portrait or landscape. And, let’s not forget where they are taken: in the studio or on location and whether indoors, outdoors or both. All these variables will contribute to your message; hence your photos must be thoughtfully designed.Your personal branding journey is a continual process and an evolutionary one. So remember to stay fresh, be up-to-date and ahead of your competition in order build and maintain yourself as the key person of infl uence in your niche.

Why ‘more is not less’ when it comes to personal brandingWhen building your personal brand it doesn’t serve you to have a scarcity mentality.

Do you know how new technology can be used in your business?

Th ese strategies and solutions come about when you combine the technical expertise of a high-level engineer with the strategic business approach of upper management. Commonly this is being realised in the adoption

of a Chief Information Offi cer (CIO) who essentially uses his or her technical knowledge to develop board level strategies to improve business outcomes.

Th e challenge facing small to medium business (SMB)

is competing with larger organisations that have the resources to implement such strategies. Hiring a CIO or IT director is just not a reality for a business with less than 100 staff .

As a business dedicated to providing high levels of customer service we have had to adopt a new model that extends our services to SMB beyond the standard projects and technical support. Th rough the provision of an embedded or ‘virtual’ CIO (vCIO) we’ve been able to add value to our clients by providing them with the competitive advantage needed to keep up in competitive markets.

In my opinion this approach is the undisputable future of outsourced IT. Technology has and always will continue to evolve, providing users with faster, cheaper, more effi cient systems; these systems are more readily available than ever before. Th e secret to success is no longer having the best, it’s in understanding how to best utilise the resources you have.

Ray Sweeney is the Virtual Chief Information Offi cer Team Leader at Premier Technology Solutions.

www.premiertech.com.au

IT strategy for the small to medium business

Th e IT industry has evolved considerably over the past several years with enterprises discovering new benefi ts to the adoption of modern eff ective technology solutions.Th ese solutions include BYOD policies, cloud migrations and systems integration, all of which provide increased effi ciency, productivity and ultimately, profi tability.

Too much Chinese interest in our real estate

Almost every day I receive anecdotal evidence of Chinese buyers paying well over the odds for eastern suburbs houses.

By ‘Chinese’ I mean individuals from the People’s Republic of China, not Australians of Asian descent.

For the lucky vendors reaping the benefi ts of skyrocketing prices, this demand from overseas is obviously welcome. Yet for locals hoping to upgrade the family home, such competition appears unfair. With a few exceptions, Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) doesn’t allow non-residents to

buy established dwellings here. Instead, foreigners are encouraged to purchase newly built houses and apartments in an eff ort to promote the development of land.

It is clear that our investment rules regarding overseas investment in property are being fl outed. Wealthy mainland Chinese seem keen to squirrel some of their money in a country not controlled by their own government. Australia has become the investment destination of choice because our economy is strong, our politicians not corrupt and we respect the rule of law.

As a result of this demand, some local real estate agents are turning a blind eye at auctions where foreign buyers purchase sight unseen and appear to have unlimited funds at their disposal. Unfortunately for Australian under bidders at same auctions, there is no

authority with the power to intervene and ensure our investment rules are followed. FIRB lacks the manpower to monitor individual real estate transactions. Th e state and federal police have better things to do. And why would agents or auctioneers complain about demand pressure that delivers them higher commissions?

Th e rules we have in place regarding overseas interest in Australian houses exist for a reason. No one apart from a speculator, for example, really benefi ts when a large home is purchased, shuttered and left vacant for years while the new Chinese owner hopes its price rises. Such an investment, while potentially profi table, does nothing to develop the local housing stock.

Right now a Federal Parliamentary Committee is enquiring into the impact of foreign buyers

on Australian real estate. Such committees aren’t generally known for either making decisions following them through. For the sake of both local homebuyers who can’t compete, and respect for our FIRB rules, let’s hope this enquiry does its job properly.

Tune in and listen to Tom between 3-6pm weekdays on 3AW’s Drive.

Twenty-nine businesses have been shortlisted in the CitiPower Port Phillip Business Excellence Awards. More than 100 applications were made to the awards, which celebrates best business practice in sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity and customer service.

Th ere are 11 award categories and three additional awards, including Business of the Year, Hall of Fame, given to an individual who’s played a signifi cant role in local business and the community, and the Business Excellence Leaders awards, given to recipients of multiple awards.

A fi nal category, the People’s Choice Awards, is based on nominations entered by customers who’ve received excellent customer service. More than 120 customer nominations were entered this year. Mayor Amanda Stevens said the awards are an opportunity to showcase Port Phillip’s business and community leaders.

“Th e 18,200 businesses in the City of Port Phillip contribute many specialist goods and services to our communities, thousands of jobs and more than $11 billion to the local economy and that should be celebrated,” Cr Stevens said.

“Th e 11 award categories have been created to ensure all businesses big and small from across the municipality have the chance to participate in the event. Shortlisted businesses will be visited over the coming weeks by the award judges to determine the winning business in each category,” she said.

Winning businesses will be announced at a gala event held on 22 October.

Best businesses vie for title

Epicure takes the cake at industry awardsSt Kilda Road’s Epicure took out three accolades at an industry awards night recently.

Th e leading Australian caterer was named Caterer of the Year for Zinc at Federation Square in the Victoria Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering HostPlus Awards for Excellence.

Th e Awards for Excellence are considered the most dependable and authoritative guide to Australia’s best restaurants and caterers, which has set the national benchmark for objectively recognising and promoting best practice.

Epicure was also named best Venue Caterer for its work at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and best Function/Convention Centre Catering for Zinc at Federation Square. Winning these two accolades enabled Epicure to compete for the major award of the evening, Caterer of the Year where Zinc was named the winner.

David Mercer, Epicure’s Victorian State Manager for Leisure, Sports & Entertainment said the award wins once again reinforced the excellence for which his team strives.

“Th is is a highly competitive market and we were thrilled to

be the only business recognised across multiple categories. It speaks volumes of the attention to detail all of our team works hard to deliver on,” Mr Mercer said.

“It is wonderful to receive an award that is judged by our peers, and which continues to give our clients confi dence that Epicure is consistent and at the top of its game in delivering excellence in hospitality.”

Th e awards are judged by a team of trained judges who anonymously visit the venues to determine the winners. More than 150 local caterers and restaurant and café operators were judged across 39

categories. Scores are based on the entire dining experience of that one judge on a specifi c evening.

Epicure will now compete with other region fi nalists at the National Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering HostPlus Awards for Excellence.

Restaurant & Catering CEO John Hart said the “the winners should be proud that they have been judged and rigorously reviewed in one of the most objective awards systems, which looks at the entire dining experience, rather than a single food or service dimension”.

Th e second stage of new residential zones to direct housing growth towards activity centres and protect neighbourhood character has been adopted by Port Phillip Council.Councillors voted to request Planning Minister Matthew Guy to implement the updated zones in the Port Phillip Planning Scheme through a ministerial amendment.

Th e council is waiting for Mr Guy to approve its Stage 1 amendment to introduce the three zones across Port Phillip. As an interim measure, the Minister applied the new General Residential Zone across Port Phillip on 1 July.

Mayor Amanda Stevens said the second stage provided for additional and more diverse development potential, in addition to Stage 1. Th is approach followed community feedback that additional

housing opportunities should be considered in some areas.

“We have listened to all views in our diverse community and have incorporated changes including asking the Minister to exempt density controls in the Neighbourhood Residential Zone to facilitate aged persons housing,” Cr Stevens said.

“We are advocating to the State Government to make allowances to these controls as we believe it is important to facilitate housing for an ageing community.”

“We believe these new zones will promote a more sustainable city by directing housing growth and density to locations which are well served by shops, services and public transport. We have also done our best to protect our community’s valued heritage, neighbourhood character and amenity.”

Planning Minister Matthew Guy requested all councils replace

Residential 1 and 2 zones, which covered established residential areas, with one of three new zones: the Neighbourhood Residential, General Residential and Residential Growth zones.

Dwellings in a commercial or mixed use zone are not aff ected by the state-wide reform and all heritage overlays are retained.

Zone changes adopted by council

I recently hosted a feedback forum for residents living in the St Kilda Road/Queens Road precincts. It was great to meet many of you and to discuss local issues of concern.

One of the signifi cant problems presented on the night was the traffi c on Queens Lane.

It appears clear that congestion has become unacceptable, particularly during peak hours.

Following our meeting I raised this issue with the Minister for Roads, the Honourable Terry Mulder, who asked VicRoads to explore the traffi c issues with the City of Port Phillip.

I believe that a long-term masterplan for the precinct is required, however, discussions

are already underway regarding the implementation of some short-term fi xes to reduce the number of non-residents using Queens Lane as a ‘rat run’.

In particular, consideration is being given to:• Full-time or peak period turn

bans at the intersection of Queens Lane and Kings Way.

• Local area traffi c management such as installing traffi c calming devices along Queens Lane.

• Left turn restrictions from St Kilda Road during the peak period.

• Review of traffi c signalling and sequences.

I will keep you informed as things progress.

In other news, the Prahran Secondary School Taskforce and community working group has recently been established and, over the past months, has been analysing potential sites for the Napthine Government’s $20 million commitment to build a new secondary school in our local area.

I am pleased to inform you that a short list of sites has been developed and included on this list is the possibility of co-locating a secondary school at the Victorian College for the Deaf site on St Kilda Road.

Th is is a very exciting time for many local families. If you’d like to keep up with developments, please send me an email [email protected] and I will add you to my list to receive regular updates.

New zonesResidential growth zone: Allows for increased housing growth and densities.

General residential zone: Allows for some multi-unit development in areas with good access to shops, services and public transport. New development must respect neighbourhood character.

Neighbourhood residential zone: Provides for limited growth in established residential areas that are more distant from shops and public transport, and protects heritage and neighbourhood character.

Fast factTh e City of Port Phillip is one of the fastest growing municipalities in metropolitan Melbourne with an annual growth rate of 1.5 per cent (2004-2011).

Light switch turns up resultsIn my last column I wrote about our apartment building having LED lights installed in all its public areas. A total of 44 apartment owners took the opportunity as well. I thought I’d update you on the results.

Under the State VEET scheme it cost us not a cent. At our AGM the managing agent, Alvin Diamond was able to say that the monthly electricity bills had dropped by a third from $1900 to $1200. Owners and tenants have been similarly pleased with their reduced electricity bills.

Our property in St Kilda Road is now listed as a case study for ‘Smartblocks’, a national program funded by the Commonwealth Department of Industry to help apartment owners and managers smarten up their common areas (www.smartblocks.com.au) – the City of Melbourne is a member. Apartments are notorious energy guzzlers with residents, on average, using 25% more energy than people in detached dwellings.

Alvin has a background in business analytics and wants his portfolio to be as effi cient as possible – smarter and more cost eff ective. “Introducing energy saving measures is a no brainer,” he said.

He invited the VEET provider to visit his other buildings. In one, 300 lights were switched to LEDs at no cost and 24 lights that required transformers were installed at a discounted rate. 65% of owners also took up the lighting off er. Energy reduction plans are afoot for all his buildings. He’s also negotiated a better deal for multiple buildings with an energy retailer.

Alvin has four tips for reducing energy in strata buildings all based on engaging people:

• Start with quick wins – switching to LEDs is easy and pays for itself along with motion sensor triggered lights in public areas.

• Put together a clear business case with data on fi nancial benefi ts and payback periods to get owners corporations on side. Make sure owners and tenants know what is going on.

• Negotiate with energy retailers for a better deal.

• Investigate whether a solar system will be cost eff ective for your reduced energy use.

We are currently examining whether a 10.5 kW roof solar system provides a good pay back over 20 years and if individual owners could also participate – shading could be an issue. More on this later.

As an aside, in cooperation with the City of Melbourne our waste and recycling arrangements have been reviewed and signifi cantly improved – six separate streams.

What is your building doing?

Until next time,

Staff and management from St Kilda Road’s Australand, recently joined 330 students from Avondale Primary School to plant 330 Indigenous plants as part of Planet Ark’s National Schools Tree Day.Students planted local natives in the school’s front garden further improving the landscape and contributing to Planet Ark’s countrywide initiative, Australia’s biggest community tree planting event.Australand’s Residential Manager for Victoria, Rob Pradolin said that the day with the school children was about inspiring, educating and recruiting young Victorians about our environment.“Australand has been developing communities for families to live and prosper for nearly 90 years and as a company, we are keen to see young students actively care for our unique land creating future generations

of committed environmental custodians,” Mr Pradolin said.Indigenous nursery Western Plains Flora supplied seven species of the small plants and shrubs. Mr Pradolin said Schools Tree Day allowed students to make a lasting contribution to the community’s natural environment“Th e benefi ts of interaction with nature for children’s health, wellbeing and development are well-known and it ought to be promoted as a positive way in which kids are actively engaged outdoors,” he said.School principal Paul Mulroyan said the project enacts elements of the school’s philosophy ‘to share and co-operate with others’.“And be a responsible community member, fi nding reward in participation and doing our best.”

Th e City of Port Phillip took out two categories in the Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Sustainable Cities Awards. Mayor Amanda Stevens said the awards highlighted the great environmental work taking place and congratulated the Port Phillip EcoCentre and local volunteer Mary ‘Jess’ Jeyasingham on their wins. Th e EcoCentre won the Clean Beach/Waterway category for its Yarra Plume and Sea Star Management Projects which improve the management of pollution and pests in Port Phillip Bay. Th e projects are delivered by a range of community and school groups, including Earthcare St Kilda, allowing locals to take action to protect native species and their habitats in the bay. Ms Jeyasingham won the Young Leaders category for her work with the

Port Phillip EcoCentre, where she’s volunteered for more than three years. Th e City of Port Phillip received more nominations than any other organisation, including Sustainable City of the Year. “Th e City of Port Phillip’s extremely proud to have been nominated for 12 projects in this year’s awards,” Cr Stevens said. “Most importantly, we’re proud of the contributions made by our impassioned community members who engage in council’s sustainable programs. It’s because of that strong community support that Council has set strong goals in our Toward Zero Strategy, including reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, potable water use and waste contamination by 50 to 80 per cent by 2020,” she said.

According to the Organisation Internationale du Vin et de la Vigne (OIV) based in Paris, France, the world produced 26.5 billion litres of wine in 2011. If all of it was bottled, 35.3 billion regular 750ml bottles measuring on average 7.62cm in diameter would be fi lled, enough to be laid down side by side and build a bridge to the moon - seven bottles wide.

Th e 35.3 billion bottles of wine would also be enough to provide fi ve bottles to each and everyone of the seven billion people that make up the planet’s population!.

Where does it all come from?Th e ’Old World’ still dominates the leaderboard. France alone produces 20% of the world’s production. Almost 50% comes from the top three producing countries being respectively France, Italy and Spain. Next comes wine from the ‘New World’, the USA and Argentina, who secure 4th and 5th places in the

rankings with approximately 7% each. Australia next? Not quite, China now ranks 6th producing an estimated 5% of the world’s production. Ranking 7th is our beautiful country, Australia, which with 4% of the world’s wine production is ahead of Chile, South Africa and Germany.

Where does it all go? Most of it is consumed locally. According to OIV, just under 10 billion litres or 37.5% of the world’s wine production was exported. Here the ’Old World’ also dominates the leaderboard. Italy alone exports almost 25% of all wine

exports and more than three times as much as Australia. Italy together with the other two top producing countries, Spain and France, represent 61% of the world’s wine exports. Australia is punching above its weight and leading the ‘New World’ wine export. By shipping 700 million litres or about 65% of its overall wine production overseas, Australia ranks 4th on the export market almost neck and neck with Chile’s 662 million litres but well ahead of USA and Germany who each export just over half as much as Australia.

So with Italy as the world’s wine export powerhouse, it is no wonder that we can enjoy a wide selection of imported Italian wines. From the Barolos, Barberas, Valpolicellas, Pinot Grigios and Soaves of the north to the Chiantis, Brunellos and Verdicchios of Tuscany and Marche and the Aglianico and Nero D’Avola wines of the south to name only a few, there is a plenty to choose from when savouring our pizzas, risottos and pastas.

Lamb - A delicious

sign of springFrom roasts and chops

to stews and comforting braises, lamb has something

to off er everyone at the table. Th ough we love a fool proof classic combination, let’s move beyond thinly sliced roast slathered in

mint jelly and explore one of the many dishes that make this meat shine.

Aaaah, lamb. Such a delectable taste for so

humble a creature. Lamb is a very versatile meat and readily available.

I am going to share one of my clients

favourite lamb dishes.

Combine spices in large bowl, add lamb; mix well.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large saucepan; cook lamb mixture, in batches, until browned

Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook onion, garlic and chillies over low heat, stirring until onion softens.

Return lamb to pan with coconut cream and stock; simmer covered, 1 hour and 20 mins or until tender.

Uncover, stir in peas off the heat.

Serve curry sprinkled with coriander. Bon appetite!

More than 140 hand-crafted garments created by one of the world’s best haute couture designers will be on show at the National Gallery of Victoria from next month.

Th e NGV will host the Australian exclusive exhibition Th e Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk.

NGV Director Tony Ellwood said the exhibition aff orded Melburnians the chance to experience an exquisite world of fashion.

“Jean Paul Gaultier’s radical designs break down stereotypes and clichés, questioning preconceived standards of beauty and challenging societal, gender and aesthetic ‘norms’,” Mr Ellwood said.

“Th e results are exquisite works of art; exuberant, witty, surprising and dramatic. Th is is a unique chance for our visitors to experience the world of Jean Paul Gaultier; a world that

extends beyond the catwalk into the realms of art, music and fi lm.”

Th e exhibition, featuring accessories, sketches, stage costumes, photography and excerpts from fi lms, runway shows,

concerts and dance performances, will help illustrate the intriguing story of this unrivalled fashion designer as well as the infl uences, passions and obsessions that feature in his work.

Renowned for his unconventional and playfully irreverent designs, Gautier’s NGV exhibition will include exclusive material not exhibited in previous venues, such as pieces from his

recent haute couture and ready-to-wear collections and stage

costumes worn by the likes of Madonna and Beyoncé.

In another exclusive feature for the NGV, a section

on Gaultier’s Australian muses is being specially developed and will include brilliantly executed pieces

created for Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett.

Arts Minister Heidi Victoria said the exhibition, which has already wowed crowds in New York and Montreal, will

give visitors an insight into the creativity and craft of the ground-breaking French fashion designer.

“Featuring over 140 superbly crafted

garments spanning Gaultier’s incredible career, the exhibition includes the fi rst dress he created in 1971 through to recent works created for some of the world’s most glamorous men and women,” Ms Victoria said.

“Th e exhibition promises to be another show-stopper and I look forward to welcoming it to Melbourne.” Th e Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk is curated by Th ierry-Maxime Loriot and organised by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with Maison Jean Paul Gaultier.

Th e exhibition will open on 17 October and run until 8 February.

Can you croon a tune like Michael Bublé? Can you belt it like Bon Jovi? If not, don’t despair, you don’t need to be a superstar. If you can hold a note, join a choir. Choirs are good for your soul and better for your love life. Even if you’re lacking in musical prowess many choirs don’t require auditions nor expect you to read music. Why not check out Melbourne Singers of Gospel (MSG)? Th e secular choir sings soul, blues, gospel and pop. MSG rehearses in Port Melbourne and there is always space for more men.If you want to get uplifted all night long, get to “Music in Me”, MSG’s annual gala performance with funky house band, Th e Soul Train, at South Melbourne Town Hall on 15 November.

Th e health benefi ts of singing are well-documented and widely accepted - singing together makes you happier, healthier and sexier. But where are all the men? Women everywhere have discovered these secrets and join choirs in droves, now it’s time for the blokes.Singing means deep breathing, increased blood fl ow and therefore more oxygen is circulated throughout your body. Endorphins, the brain’s ‘feel good’ chemicals are released and moods are elevated - stresses slip away.Your brain could also benefi t as singing helps form new neural connections. Singing makes you feel more confi dent and alert

as you blow away your work-day cobwebs.As you sing and move and get into the groove, you get the same positive physical eff ects as exercise but without expensive gym memberships and designer trainers.But, best of all, as you sing, oxytocin, the ‘bonding’ hormone is increased making you ready to meet new people and form friendships. If you are happier, calmer, friendlier, healthier, more confi dent, surely that will lead to more success in the bedroom?

I got a call from my editor, she wanted to know the best way to treat hayfever.

So, I go and ask a doctor, She said, “Do a patch test and desensitisation, which protect you for the next fi ve years.”

Th en I go and ask a naturopath,He said, “Horseradish, Garlic, Vitamin C and Echinacea.”

Next I go and ask a pharmacist,She said, “Antihistamine, eye drops and nasal spray, most would cover you for 24 hours.”

Th en I go and ask a homeopath,He said, “Allium Cepa, Arsenicum album, Euphrasia and Nux vomica, listed here in alphabetical order.”

Last I go and ask my darling wife, Pandora, She said, “Put me in a hotel penthouse suite, air conditioned 24 hours, free from pollen, dust and mice, I shall stay there till summer.”

Change can be diffi cult for many people. Even our biology, our body is

hardwired for survival. And because we’ve survived up until now with things exactly the way they have always been, then why should we change anything, right? Th ere is a process that we all go through with every change. We tend to resist it because of our built-in survival mechanism. We fi ght it because we worry that if we change one thing, then maybe other things will change, leaving us powerless.Sometimes change is thrust upon us and sometimes we choose to change wether consciously or subconsciously. Every change, regardless of how it comes about

goes through a series of common steps, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and letting go. Th is month, I’m going to talk about the fi rst step, denial.Often, the denial step is missed because it usually comes before the desire to change has been realised. We deny there is any problem with the current situation - be it weight, work, home or health - and we continue with things the way they are, often looking for other, not-so-healthy ways to satisfy the unfulfi lled circumstance.Our inability to recognise that something needs to change is

frustrating to not only ourselves but also for those who love us. Th en, when those we love speak up about the issue at hand, we get defensive because it’s true and we’re not ready to face it, or change it.Consider this. Where in life have you been feeling defensive lately? Could your defensive approach to the situation be because on some level, there’s an element of truth to what the other person is saying? Is it something you’re willing to work through now? If not, write it down somewhere so that when the time comes, you have a beginning point.

Since storming on to the scene in the year 2000, Toyota’s big-SUV, the Kluger, has been a raging success. Available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive, the Kluger’s success has come down to size, versatility and V6 performance.

Fast forward 14 years and the Kluger remains a success story for the Japanese car company. Th e third generation Kluger has undergone a styling change with more masculine angles and better use of interior space.

Starting from $40,990 for the entry-level front-wheel-drive Kluger GX, the range continues on to the $67,990 top-spec all-wheel-drive Grande. I drove the volume selling $44,990

four-wheel-drive GX model to get a feel for the entry-level range.

Inside the cabin, the Kluger still feels like a step up into a larger SUV. Th is gives drivers the feeling of power and height over other cars on the road. Th ere’s also a newly designed cabin that features soft-touch fi nishes and an updated steering wheel.

Much like the second generation, the new Kluger is very spacious inside. Th e front seat and second row passengers have a large amount of leg and headroom to play with. Th ere is also a third row, which increases the seating capacity of the Kluger to seven. But, don’t expect to fi t adults or large teenagers in the third row.

Boot space is very impressive (as you would expect for a car this size). With the third row erected, there is 195 litres of space. Drop the third row and space increases to 529 litres. If you go even further and drop the second row of seats, luggage space increases to a whopping 1,171 litres.

Under the Kluger’s bonnet is a familiar V6 engine. Th e 3.5-litre V6 engine is the same as the last model, but Toyota claims that fuel consumption has decreased to 10.6L/100km (from 11.0L/100km). Th e engine is mated to a very smooth shifting six-speed automatic gearbox.

At just over $40,000 for the entry level Kluger, the segment is fi lled

with options. Buyers can try the new Nissan Pathfi nder, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Ford Territory. Given the competition, the Kluger scrubs up very nicely on paper.

While the fuel consumption was a little higher than expected, Toyota off ers a front-wheel-drive version that is more aff ordable and uses less fuel. Th e Kluger is a clear winner in a fi ercely competitive segment.
