    Lions salute a perfect ending

    By Matt Crossman

    Community leaders have urged the state government to nally decide whether Sunbury will split from Hume.

    Transition auditors John Watson and Frank Vincent were expected to present their report and recommendations to Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins yesterday.

    e pair were appointed by the Labor government in March with a brief to review the separation processes, aer the former Liberal government gazetted formal notices that a new Sunbury council would start on July 1 this year.

    But the split was put on hold aer Ms Hutchins said too many questions remained unanswered.

    A government spokeswoman said the transition auditors were on track to deliver their report by the August 31 deadline.

    e government will consider the report and make it public later this year, the minister said.

    Council chief executive Domenic Isola said the people of Hume had been waiting a long time and needed to know.

    Now that the work has been completed, we urge the state government to make a decision on the issue so our community can plan for the future with more certainty, he said.

    Humes Sunbury-based councillor, Ann Potter, agreed.

    I understand they have to absorb the report, but the community, the council we all need to know, she said. I would hope they would do it sooner rather than later.

    Fellow Hume councillor and Sunbury resident Jack Medcra said he was sick of delays. is has been the greatest denial of natural democracy Ive ever

    seen, he said. No one knows whats going on.

    Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie OFarrell said people had been kept waiting long enough.

    Our expectation has always been that it would be released shortly aer it was received, he said. e entire exercise is unnecessary.

    All theyve done is go over the reports, which the previous government was satised showed it [a stand alone Sunbury council] was viable.

    ey said they would honour the gazettal.

    ey went back on that, Mr OFarrell said.

    Visiting Sunbury earlier this month, Premier Daniel Andrews rejected claims the audit process was a sham.

    He told Star Weekly the government was serious about the review, and would wait for the report before making any decisions.

    Opposition leader Matthew Guy and Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn have described the audit as a hoax, saying they held out little hope that an independent Sunbury would go ahead.

    Mr Andrews said claims the result had been predetermined were completely false.

    He said the government would act quickly on the auditors report.

    We wont waste any time.

    Macedon Ranges, a growing number of buyers were returning to their roots.

    A lot of the teenage kids who grew up here are now coming home, and getting a great house for $500,000 or $600,000.

    Gisborne Real Estate director Janis Paul agreed.

    Were nding a lot of people were born and raised here, and want to come back and live in the area.

    She said houses on the market priced close to $500,000 were selling quickly.

    ats the biggest turnover, Ms Paul said.

    By Matt Crossman

    Property experts say the come home factor is one reason Gisborne has led regional Victoria in price growth for four-bedroom houses.

    Latest Real Estate Institute of Victoria gures reveal the median price for a four-bedroom house in Gisborne, in the year to June 30, increased 8.8 percent to $608,000, the highest in the state.

    Across Victoria, median prices for four-bedroom houses went up 4.9 per cent. Kyneton also made the top 10 most expensive

    regional centres for the nancial year, with a four-bedroom median of $407,600.

    Other towns performing well, but with less than 50 sales, were Woodend ($605,000) and Macedon ($590,000).

    Dunlop Real Estate director John Dunlop said lifestyle and price were also factors behind the trend.

    Gisborne is still a very attractive area, he said. e prices are very aordable; theres been a lot of increase in development.

    Mr Dunlop said while many people were moving upmarket from other areas in the

    You can still buy a property thats quite nice for around $500,000, which youd probably have to pay $650,000 for in outer areas of Melbourne.

    Also Sunbury is running short of stock. eir properties are so cheap, they are turning them over literally overnight and a lot of people cant get in.

    Both Mr Dunlop and Ms Paul were hopeful of a strong local market this spring.

    Im very optimistic, Ms Paul said. eres been a shortage of listings, but they are coming in now.

    Calder Freeway motorists have had a major win with VicRoads increasing the speed limit on an outbound section of the freeway last Friday. e stretch of the Calder between the Melton Highway and south of Calder Park Drive was increased from 80km/h to 100km/h following a safety review by VicRoads and consultation with Brimbank council and Victoria Police. ere has been a 10 per cent increase in speed camera infringements on the stretch between Kings and Organ Pipes roads in recent times, with 376 in the second half of 2014 climbing to 416 for the rst half of 2015, according to Department of Justice data. e speed limit was reduced in 2004. Fourteen signs have been installed on the freeway to notify drivers of the new limit. Community groups have long campaigned for a return to the 100km/h speed limit. State MP for Sydenham Natalie Hutchins said the average crash rate on the freeway, between Overnewton and Holden roads, had decreased by about 65 per cent. Weve listened to local residents and this section of road has been carefully reviewed. Based on the evidence, the 100km/h speed limit will be restored, she said. e Sunshine Avenue exit ramp has been extended to 180 metres recently, giving drivers more time to slow down as they leave the freeway.

    By Matt Crossman

    A Sunbury-based councillor has warned new standards that would let the state government stand down a councillor for up to six months to allow a panel to hear serious claims could further politicise councils.

    Cr Jack Medcra, who was suspended for 28 days earlier this year following claims he tussled with a ratepayer over a sign and yelled at a number of people, said changes announced by Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins on Wednesday were heading towards dictatorship.

    Town Hall meeting last September. Cr Medcra, who has described the two-person MAV panel as a kangaroo court, said the government had to ensure councillors were given a fair hearing.

    If theyre going to stand councillors down as a result of panels, are those panels going to be properly constituted? he asked. Are [witnesses] going to be under oath when evidence is given?

    Under the proposed rules, councillors would be required to agree to codes of conduct before taking oce. Councils will have to establish formal procedures to deal with allegations.

    If you have a council dominated by a political party, they can go and set up another councillor and have them rubbed out for six months for what turns out to be hearsay, Cr Medcra said. Its a very dangerous situation.

    Cr Medcra was stood down in April following a probe into claims he breached the code of conduct during a heated meeting about Sunburys separation from Hume.

    e Municipal Association of Victoria hearing, which followed an independent inquiry held earlier this year, followed complaints made aer the Broadmeadows

    Ms Hutchins said the changes, to be introduced to State Parliament during the next month, would clarify expectations and ensure councils could quickly respond to misbehaviour.

    e proposed bill will give councils and the government a broader range of powers to deal with councillors in breach of their codes of conduct, she said.

    I have consulted widely about the need to improve the current councillor conduct rules and Ive heard loud and clear that we need a system that can respond quickly and appropriately.

    Suspension bid for bad behaviour

    One of the Macedon Ranges most signicant nature reserves will reopen eight months aer a re burnt close to 90 per cent of its bushland.

    Wildlife populations were also ravaged by Januarys blaze at Kynetons Black Hill Reserve.

    But a major rehabilitation eort, involving the Friends of Black Hill Reserve, council sta, Landcare groups and prisoners, has given nature a helping hand.

    Friends president Daryl Kellet says trees and grass are resprouting and native animals returning to the reserve, which is also known for its giant granite rocks and boulders.

    About 80 nesting boxes destroyed by the re are being replaced with the help of Kyneton Mens Shed, while Loddon prisoners and young people from the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre have been involved in projects, including the replacement of picnic tables.

    Its been a real community eort, Mr Kellet

    says. Its going to take some time to get back to what it was, but it will get there.

    ere had not been a bushre at the reserve for 70 years.

    Mayor Jennifer Anderson is encouraging people to attend a free celebration at the reserve on September 12.

    e event will include a welcome to country ceremony, a barbecue and guided tours.

    Were proud of whats been achieved and looking forward to celebrating the wonder of this natural bushland on its reopening, the mayor says.

    Rocky road to safeguard iconBy Matt Crossman

    Macedon Ranges council has endorsed its submission to a state government review into the future of Hanging Rock, but not before two councillors slammed the way things have been handled.

    A motion to retrospectively endorse the document, submitted by the governments revised July 31 deadline, was the subject of much debate last Wednesday, with Cr Russell Mowatt displeased about approving something that had already been sent.

    e government is reviewing management of the Rock, which the council has managed on behalf of the government for 130 years.

    e review was promised by Labor before last years state election aer community outrage at a failed attempt to develop a resort and conference centre. Possible changes include giving control of the iconic site to Parks Victoria.

    e councils submission defended its management record, citing the Rocks recent state heritage register listing, the success of concerts in its east paddock, investigation of alternative funding and development of an environmental management plan.

    Urging the government to maintain the existing management structure, the council also called for ongoing maintenance funding, and money for a master plan and cultural assessment.

    It also made recommendations for a more ecient advisory committee structure.

    But Cr Jennifer Anderson described the submission as disappointing, ring o a list of

    questions she felt had not been answered and questioning the make-up of the Hanging Rock Development Advisory Committee.

    Why didnt we include Landcare or more environmental experts on the committee? she asked. Why are the Hanging Rock nances not dealt with separately to those of council in general?

    Why did we put forward a submission for funding through Regional Development Australia without consulting our community?

    Cr Anderson wanted the submission to outline the councils opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of management options and its reasons for past decisions. If our community is unhappy with how council is managing the Rock, we should embrace this and have open discussions about how to improve things.

    Councillors Roger Jukes, Graham Hackett and John Letchford said the submission had been the subject of a long process to which all councillors had the chance to contribute.

    Cr Jukes said various committees had evolved over many years, but the current group played an important role.

    Hanging Rock Action Group spokesman Luke Spielvogel shared Cr Andersons concerns.

    Its clear there were a lot of inconsistencies in the submission, he said. What I worry is whos setting the strategic direction in our shire is it our elected representatives or is it the administration?

    A listening post was set up in Woodend last week. e review is due to be completed this month, followed by a second investigation into planning provisions.

    Five young reporters from Salesian College Rupertswood are o to Samoa to cover the Commonwealth Youth Games.

    Aer close to a year of media training, year 10 students Hannah Graham, Nikhil Hendricks, Matt Collett, Jamie Walsh and Stacey Duy (pictured) will y out on Wednesday.

    ey will interview athletes, create videos and write articles about the excitement of the Games, which will attract thousands of participants across nine sports.

    Another student, Samuel Warwick, took part in training with the Reporters Academy but

    wont make the trip. e academy is a youth sports media organisation, with participants invited to form the ocial Games reporting team. e Salesian teams extensive training included interviewing techniques, writing tips and video and photography pointers.

    Matt, who plans to pursue a career in sports broadcasting, says its a great opportunity.

    Well be working from 7am-11pm, but the opportunity to put our skills into practice and build our networks is massive, he says.

    Fire stops playBasketball games were abandoned at Sunburys Boardman Reserve last Wednesday after a fallen powerline caused a small re outside the stadium. Police and the CFA were called shortly after 6pm after reports of a blaze near a power pole, which had been struck by a car. A CFA spokesman said a high-voltage line had come loose and fallen onto a metal box, arcing out and causing a lengthy power outage to large parts of Sunbury and as far as Clarkeeld and Diggers Rest. The re was out by the time reghters arrived.

    Lions park damagedVandals rode bicycles through wet concrete at Romseys Lions Park last Wednesday, causing close to $5000 damage. About 22 metres of concrete had been laid as part of an 18-month Lanceeld and Romsey Lions Club campaign to improve the skate park. A police spokeswoman said there were strong leads about the identities of two young people involved.

    e director of Leading Real Estate at Sunbury (pictured) has been ranked among the 10 most referred agents in Australia, recording $46 million in sales in the year to August 24, and being ranked eighth on Australias largest ratings website, www.ratemyagent.com.au.

    Mr Sacco, who received 61 reviews for the year, also achieved a satisfaction rating of 100 per cent.

    e ratemyagent site has about 8000 members.

    Im 14th in sales in Australia, which is huge, Mr Sacco said. But to be eighth, as far as recommendations and referrals, is just

    fantastic because the only ones who can put a testimonial in are clients. Mr Sacco said Leading had grown its local market share from four per cent to 17.2 in the 12 months since he took on the edgling franchise.

    It comes down to caring about people, and not giving o the wrong vibe. ats one thing that makes it really easy to succeed because, unfortunately, as a profession, real estate agents tend to have such a bad name.

    Here, every single person who walks in the door is treated like family weve also prided ourselves on embracing technology, feeding everyone with the right information and being transparent it leads to success.

    By Matt Crossman

    A Romsey greyhound trainer has been granted a 10-year permit to continue operating next door to land earmarked for the next stages of a major housing development.

    Macedon Ranges council last week went against an ocers recommendation to refuse an application for a retrospective permit for the operation in Knox Road.

    e decision came aer a representative of the developers of Lomandra Estate expressed fears about the loss of amenity for future residents.

    Ross Coster said some of the more than 200 houses to be built in the next four years would be inside the 500-metre buer zone recommended by the Environment Protection Authority. We dont think the two uses go together, he said.

    Before moving an alternative motion to grant a permit, subject to 16 conditions, Cr Graham Hackett put it to Mr Coster that dogs would not be banned from the new estate.

    e council ocers report said the applicant had kept as many as 35 greyhounds on the property since 2009 without planning approval. It noted there had been no recorded complaints about the site, which includes two large, air-conditioned buildings, whelping kennels, a training track, three runs and fenced yards.

    Cr Hackett said many neighbours werent even aware a large number of dogs were being kept at the site. is is an outstanding facility. Lets let the applicant get on with her business.

    Cr Jennifer Anderson said the proximity of approved housing was troubling and warned a future owner may not have such good management practices. But Cr Roger Jukes said the conditions, including a 10-year expiry date, would ensure the operation did not make life dicult for future residents. e alternative motion was passed by a vote of 5-2.

    Council lets sleeping dogs lie

    Rex Bennett, Billy Wigmore, David Cordy and Eane Whitton. (Damjan Janevski)

    Golden oldies wearing baggy greens are spreading the word about cricket for seniors.

    Sunbury-Macedon Ranges over-60 cricketers Rex Bennett and David Cordy recently toured the United Kingdom, representing Australia in a series against England.

    Teammates Bill Wigmore and Eane Whitton were part of two Victorian tour sides for players older than 60 and 70.

    Bennett, who captains the local club, said over-60s cricket was growing with baby boomers wanting to stay active and social at an age when their fathers had well and truly put away their whites.

    e Sunbury-based club, now in its seventh year, has about 20 players from around Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges.

    With teams in places such as Geelong, Albury, Ballarat and Benalla, players are preparing for a busy season.

    e competition, described by Bennett as A-grade slowed down, caters for a mix of ages and abilities. Some players are well into their 70s and a few have reached 80 not out.

    A few barely played in their younger days but are relishing a second chance.

    eyre eectively learning the game in their 60s and 70s, which I reckon is fantastic, Bennett says.

    Two charged in drug raidsTwo women have been charged in the most recent warrant executed as part of an ongoing police operation in Sunbury. Raids on four properties in Phillip Drive, Glastonbury Drive and Langport Crescent led to the arrest of a man in July and have now turned up 486 cannabis plants. The most recent warrant was executed at the Langport Crescent house about 9.30am last Wednesday when 219 cannabis plants were seized. Two women, of no xed address, were arrested. Thi Viet Le, 20, and Tien Thuy Hoang, 25, were charged with cultivating a commercial quantity of a narcotic plant and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on November 19. The raid comes a fortnight after nine people were charged with drug offences after raids at Sunbury and Romsey.

    Ranges bereft of BroadbandMacedon Ranges is in the midst of a communications crisis, Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters claims. Slamming the federal government for cost blowouts due to the delayed rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN), Ms Chesters said central Victorians were being held back by inferior internet connections. The latest NBN rollout plan lists Gisborne, New Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Lanceeld, Romsey, Sunbury and Diggers Rest as areas where work will begin early next year.

    DiagnostiCare provides top-quality medical imaging and procedural care for residents in the northern and western suburbs.

    Were the closest MRI facility to Sunbury and Gisborne and are experts in pain management and pain injections, with a strong referral base from all over Melbourne, says practice manager Rod Truran.

    Established in 2010, DiagnostiCare has state-of-the-art equipment, providing hospital-grade medical imaging and procedural care for patients.

    Services include MRI, CT (including cardiac CT imaging and calcium scoring), ultrasounds, interventional imaging (including pain injections), X-rays, mammography, OPG and dexa imaging.

    We practise industry-leading medical imaging, with quality and thoroughness the main focus, says radiologist and practice owner Dr Stephen Fasulakis.

    We take no short cuts and patients who come to us inevitably return to us and become loyal clients.

    Patients can also receive treatment for pain management, and theres a paediatric radiologist, as well as head and neck cancer-imaging specialists, on site.

    Patients are often examined prior to their procedures, adding value to the diagnosis provided, Dr Fasulakis said. The thoroughness of our examinations frequently leads to the discovery of important diagnostic information that would otherwise have been overlooked if the study was performed in a rushed manner.

    With a strong focus on patient care, DiagnostiCare offers bulk-billing on most examinations for all local residents.

    It has developed into the go-to practice in the northern and western suburbs for coronary artery imaging, pain management procedures and musculoskeletal imaging, says Mr Truran.

    DiagnostiCare has a strong relationship with referring clinicians, and it uses a portal system which gives doctors the opportunity to view images and reports without the patient having to deliver them.

    Appointments are readily available and there is on site free parking.

    DiagnostiCare, Suite 46, Level 1, Milleara Mall Shopping Centre, 235 Milleara Road, East Keilor. Opens 8am-6pm Monday-Friday, and 9am-1pm Saturday. Inquiries 9337 8288 or www.diagnosticare.com.au

    The pelvic ring is a strong and rigid structure that connects the spine to the lower limbs. It bears the weight of the upper body and transmits force down through the legs. It joins at the front at the pubic symphysis joint. From behind, the pelvis joins each side to the sacrum, which is at the tail end of the spine. These are called the sacroiliac joints.During pregnancy, the changes in body shape places new and different demands on your body. Also, changes in hormones help to relax these pelvic joints to prepare to accommodate the delivery of the baby. One hormone called Relaxin, which peaks early in the second trimester, assists this. Some women have more pronounced effects than others from these changes. Pain may be felt through one or more of the pelvic joints. Sometimes it is a niggle, sometimes it can be very debilitating. Sometimes the deep muscles that help support good function at these joints can stop functioning properly, which further stresses the joint. Other muscles can tighten up in an effort to try and help out these joints, and they too can end up getting tired and sore. What we are left with is a poor functioning region, and a mother-to-be struggling to mobilise. Physiotherapists can assess the pelvic region to help determine the source of the pain, and make recommendations to help the condition. Hands-on therapy to help restore good mobility and muscle function, prescription of appropriate supportive devices if required, advice on activity modification, and muscle retraining are some of the things that a physiotherapist can do to improve function.

    When former Warburton Homes designed this house in Green Gables estate, some clever decisions were made to maximise its elevated site.

    Firstly, the casual living hub is at the front; secondly, the outdoor entertainment zone links with the front yard rather than the back. This back-to-frontness ies in the face of tradition for good reason it puts the home owner in the box seat when it comes to rather lovely views of undulating countryside, the city lights of Melbourne, and, on a clear day, the Dandenongs.

    The house itself is beautifully presented, with matte Tasmanian oak oorboards

    anchoring the living zones; natural timber frames, arches and skirts; tasteful roman blinds; and a very appealing colour palette.

    The rst room on the left of the entry hall is long and lovely, used now as a dining room, but would also make a perfect rumpus or theatre room. The living hub opposite includes a meals area next to a box bay window, and a sitting area that takes in front garden views. The kitchen here has an island servery bench, walk-in pantry, Tasmanian oak cabinetry, dishwasher and a Lofra 900mm gas cooker.

    Further along the entry hall, ve wooden steps head up to two bedrooms, a laundry

    and bathroom. The elegant main bedroom has both walk-in and built-in wardrobes, and an en suite, but its the views that make it extra-special.

    The laundry has a workbench and loads of storage, and the main bathroom has subway tiles and a burgundy and cream decor; the toilet is separate.

    Timber stairs ascend to a carpeted room under a vaulted ceiling. This large space is bisected by a curtain to create bedroom and retreat sections, absolutely tailor-made for teens. Each section has loads of in-roof storage, one a walk-in. Accessed from the living hub, the huge double-gabled

    Every inch of the block is as neat as can be, with gardens both manageable and pretty.

    Finishers include gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a remote-controlled double garage with entry from Long Drive.
