MINUTE WITH THE

MAYOR

Council is working to ensure its spending and procurement processes are as up-to-date and effective as possible.

In September last year Council’s internal checks showed spending on a Council credit card that was outside Council

policy.

A Council officer subsequently repaid money on a number of transactions and as a result of this transgression policies were reviewed.

Council acknowledges that this was a very disappointing event. We are determined to ensure that it is not repeated.

In recent weeks Council has made a decision to appoint an external auditor to assess Council’s credit card processes and controls.

And, as a result of information gathered and sent by Council in mid-July, the Office of the Victorian Ombudsman will also conduct an inquiry into the processes which govern the use of Council credit cards.

The work done by the Ombudsman – at no cost to ratepayers - will complement the work being done within Council to improve the way we do business.

Our CEO Peter Schneider has an organisational review under way which examines whether Council’s structure

is such that it efficiently and effectively supports the services we provide to the Warrnambool community.

We are confident that once the Ombudsman’s inquiry and the organisational review are complete it will lay the foundation for a better, stronger organisation.

It has been a challenging period for Council and the community during this time and I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to the community for its patience and understanding as the external referral agencies work through their proposed actions.

In the meantime when it comes to delivering services to the community it is business as usual.

We recently completed the upgrade of intersections at Koroit and Kepler streets and Kepler and Timor streets. We’re also working on important capital works projects such as the new library and learning hub and the Reid Oval upgrade, both of these projects will serve the community well for decades to come and both received major funding support from the Victorian Government.

And at its last meeting Council resolved to ask the Local Government Minister Adem Somuyurek to conduct a further investigation of management, financial performance and governance of Council over the past seven years – provided this was at no cost to Council.

PLEDGE TO

CREATE A BETTER

WARRNAMBOOL

The entire community is encouraged to make a W2040 pledge to help make Warrnambool a better place.

Adopted by Council in December 2018, the W2040 plan sets a bold vision for Warrnambool over the

next two decades.

The plan was developed following the biggest conversation the city has ever seen, with more than 2000 people sharing their wishes for what Warrnambool should look like in 2040.

W2040 sets long term visions and goals for Warrnambool’s environment, economy, place and people.

Warrnambool Mayor Tony Herbert said that while Council had a significant role to play, it was up to the community to help realise the vision outlined in the W2040 plan.

“It’s going to take a collective effort from

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

FUND HELPS 45 LOCAL

CLUBS AND EVENTS

Council will help fund more than $830,000 worth of community projects over the next year via its Community Development Fund.

Established in 1999, the Community Development Fund provides funding to clubs, organisations and community groups for the provision of programs, projects, activities

or events that deliver outcomes for the benefit of Warrnambool residents.

Funding is provided on a two for one basis, with Council providing up to $2 for every $1 contributed by the applicant.

The 2019/2020 round of grants has seen 45 clubs receive $117,282 in Council funding.

Successful applications were received from: Allansford Football Netball Club, Beach Patrol 280-3284, Brierly Christ

VOTE WITH YOUR BUTT

Does pineapple belong on a pizza?

A ballot-style cigarette butt bin has been installed near the Pavilion to encourage smokers to do the

right thing while helping to answer some burning community questions.

First trialled in the UK in 2015, Warrnambool’s newest cigarette bin was provided by Keep Australia Beautiful.

Council, local organisations and probably most importantly, individuals to create the Warrnambool we want for the future,” he said.

“While this is certainly an ambitious task, the steps needed are small and achievable.”

A series of W2040 pledges for individuals to make were launched at a screening of the documentary “2040” by Australian filmmaker Damon Gameau at the Lighthouse Theatre on September 18, hosted by the Warrnambool Youth Council.

“The great thing about this documentary is that it showed how we already have the

tools we need to create a better future for our world,” Cr Herbert said.

“By making simple changes in our everyday lives, we can make a big impact, and I’d like to invite everyone to visit the W2040 website and take as many pledges as they can.”

Pledges range from committing to walking or cycling for transport at least once a week and refusing single-use plastics through to introducing yourself to neighbours you haven’t met.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in Australia and globally. Staggeringly, more than 7 billion are dropped each year in Australia and 4.5 trillion worldwide.

The question in the butt bin can be easily changed, so once there is a consensus on the pineapple issue, new questions can be inserted to maintain interest while finding out once and for all whether tomato sauce belongs in the fridge or the pantry or if it’s acceptable to wear Ugg boots to the supermarket after dark.

A double helping of food writer Richard Cornish and Brae chef-owner Dan Hunter was served up to a full house at Koroit’s brand-new Noodledoof Brewery on September 11.

The pair spoke about the important role restaurants and food play in regional towns.

Mr Cornish, a regular contributor to the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age’s Good Food section, said that as well as being home to great dairy products and beef, south-west Victoria was renowned for its hospitality.

“You get a big, warm, friendly smile. They’ll shake your hand and they’ll welcome you into their business,” he said.

“There’s that warm sense of hospitality which you just can’t get in the city.”

He said that having such a large, yet engaged group of people in one room would hope-fully sow the seeds for new connections between local businesses.

“Having that number of people in the room, eyeballing each other and looking around, they’re already starting to build a network,” he said.

“Small businesses are stronger when they work together.

“The ones who give to each other are the ones who succeed.”

The next event in the Great South Coast Speaker Series is An Evening with Dylan Alcott at the Lighthouse Theatre on Tuesday October 8.

The Olympic gold medallist, Grand Slam champion, Logie winner and author will make a presentation followed by a Q&A session and a meet and greet.

The Great South Coast Speaker Series is presented by Business Victoria and the Warrnambool City, Moyne Shire and Corangamite Shire councils.

THE PILLOWCASE PROJECT

West Warrnambool Primary School students learnt how to prepare for an emergency, with the help of a pillowcase.

FIVE STAR

PERFORMANCES AT

THE LIGHTHOUSE

THEATRE

Five massive musical acts are set to light up the Lighthouse Theatre in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Music lovers will be spoilt for choice with Dami Im, Anthony Callea, Harrison Craig, the

Borderers and Leo Sayer all performing in Warrnambool soon.

Lighthouse Theatre Service Manager Xavier Dannock said it was great to see these big names come the theatre.

“Getting big names come to Warrnambool just shows what a great location this is,” he said.

“We are excited for these performers to take to our stage and look forward to seeing our patrons enjoy this world class entertainment right here at home in Warrnambool.”

Dami Im represented Australia at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, and in a major coup, finished second overall on the back of her stunning new single “Sound of Silence”. Prior to this, she shot to fame as the winner of season five of The Australian X Factor. She’s coming to Warrnambool as part of her new tour “Dreamer” on Friday October 4.

The very next night, ARIA-award winning singer Anthony Callea will perform an inti-mate concert, “Unplugged and Unfiltered” on Saturday October 5.

Celtic music legends and all round South West favourites The Borderers will cele-brate their 25th anniversary with a massive celtic gala concert on Friday November 14.

On Saturday November 15, award winning crooner and winner of The Voice, Harrison Craig will channel the great Elton John and perform some of his best love songs of his 50-year career.

To round out the year, none other than Leo Sayer will perform at the Lighthouse The-atre on Sunday December 1 with his new show “Just a Boy”.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now.Visit www.lighthousetheatre.com.au, call 5559 4999 or visit the box office on the

The Red Cross hosted a workshop at the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House with grade

three and four students on September 4.

Each student was given a pillowcase to

decorate and take home to start their own personal emergency kit.

The workshop included activities to highlight the importance of being prepared both psychologically and practically for an emergency.

The Pillowcase Project was originally inspired by events during Hurricane Katrina in the US. While evacuating campus, students of a local university used pillowcases to carry their cherished and basic possessions. After hearing this, Red Cross staff developed the concept of using a pillowcase as an emergency kit.

ADULATION AND ACCOLADES FLOW

FOR SOUTH WEST CHOIR

It’s fair to say it’s been a big month for Warrnambool’s Find Your Voice All-Abilities Choir.

As well as performing in front of a panel of celebrity judges and a television audience in the millions as part of Australia’s Got Talent, they have also won a prestigious Victorian Government Award.

The choir received the Minister’s Award for Outstanding Leadership at the 2019 Victorian Disability Awards. They were also Highly Commended in two other categories.

Find Your Voice co-founder Tom Richardson said that music was a powerful way of con-necting people and communities.

“A little groundswell has turned into a tsunami,” he said.

“(Performing to large audiences) definitely wasn’t our goal by any means, it’s just a beauti-ful by-product. Anyone who has ever witnessed the choir is inspired.

“Once we’re on stage, everyone gives 110 per cent. There are no barriers, there is no ability or disability. It’s just 150 interpretations of music being shared unapologetically.

“There are 150 people in the choir and there are 150 amazing stories.

“When we come to sing together, we all feel like we’re part of a family. There are subtle sto-ries, there are incredible stories, but I think every single person has had their life changed.”

Find Your Voice will next perform at the Lighthouse Theatre in November. Tickets to their November 14 show have sold out.

At the time of writing, limited tickets to their November 13 show were still available.To book tickets, visit www.lighthousetheatre.com.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

MEALS ON WHEELS

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering in the community, but you’re apprehensive about being “locked in” to a commitment, read on.

Meals on Wheels is a vital community service delivering nutritious meals to people who can have a hard time preparing meals themselves.

It allows them to remain independent in their own homes for longer, but it wouldn’t be possible without a fleet of volunteer drivers to deliver the meals.

Warrnambool Meals on Wheels is currently in need of more volunteer drivers. Volunteers can complete as many or as few deliveries as they like, whether that’s multiple days a week or even one day a month.

There is also the option to volunteer for short periods of time, such as school holidays or even seasonally.

Becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer is a simple way to make a real difference to the lives of local people in need.It’s also the perfect way to “dip your toe” and see if volunteering is something you could enjoy.

Even if you’d just like to fill-in from time to time when other volunteers are away, we want to hear from you.

For more information, contact Cecily Lindsey, Meals on Wheels Coordinator at the Archie Graham Community Centre on

5559 4920.

DRIVING SAFELY

FOR LONGER

Council is launching a new program to help older residents drive safely for longer.

An age-friendly survey completed by Council earlier this year highlighted that the ability to drive a car plays an

important role in maintaining independence and social connection for older people.

The Driving Safely for Longer program will offers older drivers the chance to brush up on their skills and knowledge with a free one hour refresher session with a qualified driving instructor.

The program will be launched as part of the Older, Wiser, Better - Healthy Ageing Forum on October 11.

Warrnambool City Council Travel Smart Officer Nicole Wood said that RACV and Victoria Police presentations would be full of advice to keep seniors driving for as long as possible.

“The aim is to keep everyone driving safely for longer, and the forum will highlight some simple changes people might need to make to ensure they and the community stay safe when on our local roads and streets,” she said.

“There’ll be lots of great advice, such as timing your driving to avoid the busy traffic times or sharing the driving between partners so if one person gets sick, the other isn’t thrown into a stressful situation.”

The forum will be held at the Archie Graham Centre on October 11 from 12pm – 3pm. It’s free to attend, but please RSVP by calling 5559 4920.

If you’d like more information about the Driving Safely for Longer program contact the Age-Friendly Communities Project Officer Becky Nevin-Berger, on rnevinberger@warrnambool.vic.gov.au

IT’S TIME TO WALK TO SCHOOL

VicHealth Walk to School month will run from October 6 – November 1.

With the weather improving, it’s time to leave the car at home and encourage your kids to walk, ride or catch a bus to school.

CELEBRAGE FESTIVAL – SO

MUCH TO DO!

Do you remember the Florado Festival?

Held in Warrnambool from 1957 until 1966, it was one of Warrnambool’s biggest celebrations, and a precursor for today’s Wunta Fiesta.

The festival, along with other gems of Warrnambool’s past, will be celebrated as part of the city’s annual Celebrage Festival.

Running from October 6-31 Celebrage includes more than two dozen free or low cost activities for seniors, including historic photo and video presentations by the Warrnambool and District Historical Society.

Celebrage Coordinator Clare Vaughan encouraged people to remember the “Florado spirit” and continue to enjoy the city they live in.

SENIOR OF THE

YEAR NOMINEES

URGE EVERYONE

TO BE MORE ACTIVE

Meet Warrnambool’s two Victorian Senior of the Year nominees – Alan Pritchard and Ray Wynd.

Both Alan and Ray moved to Warrnambool later in life, and both are certainly making their mark on the city.

The pair will be officially recognised at the launch of the 2019 Victorian Seniors Festival (which incorporates the local Celebrage Festival) at the Archie Graham Centre on Sunday October 6 at 1.30pm.

You might recognise Ray from a video produced by ABC South West Vic earlier this year. Viewed more than 11 million times on Facebook, it showcased Ray’s amazing work collecting timber offcuts and turning them into furniture which he donates to the Salvation Army to sell.

“When I look back at photos of the Florado Festival, I see happy people who are enjoying being a part of their community,” she said.

“It’s only by going out and getting involved in things that you can understand what it’s really like to live in Warrnambool.

“From walking tours of historic buildings, to concerts, vintage car rides, pampering sessions and even wellness activities to help you get a good night’s sleep, we’ve put together a broad range of activities to show you just how much fun Warrnambool can be at any age.”

Warrnambool and District Historic Society President Janet Macdonald said that while 19th century history was always popular, there was a growing interest in the mid-20th century.

“The current version of the historical society was formed in 1966. Material from this period was contemporary, so it wasn’t collected at the time,” she said.

“Now we are getting people reminiscing about photos of the Palais and the Tatts Hotel, places they had a connection to when they were younger.

“People can come (to the Celebrage events) and see footage of things they might have once enjoyed, but forgotten about.

“It’s a two way process too. Whenever we have displays we learn so much from attendees too.”

Celebrage is part of the Victorian Seniors Festival. You can pick up a program at the Archie Graham Centre or check out all of the

events online at www.warrnambool.vic.gov.au/celebrage

If you live too far away to walk, then you can park a few streets away from school and let your kids walk the rest of the way – you avoid the peak school traffic and your kids get a morning walk while building their confidence and independence.

There are great prizes for primary schools too, with the school that has the highest percentage of their students leave the car at home winning a new bike.Keep an eye out for information at your school after the holidays

or visit www.vichealth.vic.gov.au.

His creations generate about $1000 of income for the Salvos each year.

“I feel I’m doing something for the community. I’ve always been a community man,” said Mr Wynd.

“I can put something back into life by doing this.”

The 87-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down, with a recent upgrade to an electric scooter helping to make sure Ray will be working with wood for a while yet.

He encouraged anyone who wasn’t as involved in the community as perhaps they once were to put themselves back out there.

“Like everything else, once you shake the

cobwebs off, you’re usually pretty much alright.”

Alan Pritchard agreed, inviting everyone to try petanque (a game similar to bocce) as part of the Celebrage Festival on Thursday October 17 from 2pm – 4pm. A petanque playing area (known as a piste) was constructed in December 2018, attracting a core of regular players.

“You don’t need any particular athletic ability or special clothes or footwear to enjoy the game,” Mr Pritchard said.“I’d encourage people to come down and give it a go.”

MAJOR MILESTONE

AS DESIGN FIRM

APPOINTED

FOR REID OVAL

REDEVELOPMENT

Brand Architects has been appointed as the design firm for the $11 million Reid Oval Redevelopment, following a unanimous decision by Warrnambool City Councillors at their September meeting.

The Melbourne-based practice has a long track record of designing innovative yet highly functional

buildings, including a number of modern sporting facilities.

Current and previous projects include the Western Oval redevelopment in Geelong, MacPherson Park redevelopment in Melton, the Caroline Springs Stadium and Tennis Facility and Darebin Stadium.

They will deliver all design aspects of the project at Warrnambool’s premier sporting facility, including the preparation of construction specifications.

KOROIT AND KEPLER STREET

ROUNDABOUT OPEN TO

TRAFFIC

The roundabout at Koroit and Kepler streets is back in action and there’s now full vehicle access from all approaches.

It’s business as usual for nearby businesses and over the next few weeks the garden beds will be planted out, adding life and colour to the intersection.

Cabling between the streetlight poles will allow for festoon lighting which brightens the space and has already proven popular in Liebig Street.

Council would like to thank everyone for their patience while this intersection was upgraded to make it safer for all pedestrians.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO A

SAFER HARBOUR

AW Maritime has been awarded the tender to undertake a significant study to support a future development of the Warrnambool Harbour for $381,742.

The Victorian Government has provided $720,000 for this phase of the project via two separate grants, with the remaining funds set aside to cover additional works schedule

of rates for non-fixed components, such as permit approvals.

The tender evaluation panel believed that best value would be obtained for Council and its funding partners by addressing the costs of permit approval components though the submitted scheduled of additional rates, and not in the lump sum tender price.

Following the completion of the Port of Warrnambool Asset Management Plan and the adoption of the Warrnambool Harbour Master Plan funding has been committed by the State Government to undertake key actions identified within the plan.

The tendered package of works include:• Safer launching facility design and documentation• Warrnambool Breakwater armouring design and

documentation• Develop harbour protection options including spur design• Impacts investigation• Economic analysis

Sue Cassidy said that the appointment of the design team was a major milestone.

“With the design team now confirmed, we can begin the process of determining specifics about the new and improved infrastructure at Reid Oval,” she said.

“Representatives from Brand Architects will visit Warrnambool in the coming weeks to work with stakeholders on how each aspect of the project might look and function.

“User groups have made it very clear that they want to see an upgraded Reid Oval, and Council is committed to working with them to do the job once and do it right.”

The redevelopment will see the Reid Oval playing surface upgraded to a regional standard for AFL and cricket, better lighting, modern player and umpire facilities that cater equally for male and

female players and umpires, improved spectator amenities and better cricket training facilities.

Brand Architects was appointed following a competitive tender process, in which 18 submissions were received. Their $585,200 (including GST) submission was deemed to be the best value for money submission capable of delivering the project requirements within the nominated timeframes.

The construction phase of the project is expected to begin in September 2020 and be complete in April 2022.

The Reid Oval Redevelopment is supported by the Victorian Government.
