It’s kick-off time

for soccer fans

By Ben Cameron

Tennis Victoria has warned that some clubs in

Brimbank face extinction following a council

proposal to increase fees, in some cases by

more than 1000 per cent.

Tennis Victoria and representatives of a range

of sports clubs met council administrators

last week to strongly object to the council’s

dra� sports facility hire, licences and leases

agreement policy.

Clubs will be charged fees of up to $2000 if

Clubs cry foul over fees

their venues have a pavilion; they will also pay

playing-surface fees.

At last week’s meeting, the clubs urged the

council to o� er discounts for clubs that lease

venues from the council.

Tennis Victoria executive manager Ken Jacobs

said many lease-holding tennis clubs would

face an uncertain future if the “inequitable

proposal” was given the green light.

“Tennis clubs in Brimbank … are totally

reliant on volunteers to manage their clubs,”

Jacobs said.

“� ey do not, however, have the capacity

to generate the same levels of income as some

other clubs with gate takings .”

Sydenham Tennis Club treasurer Stacie

Simon said her fees would skyrocket from $160

to $1498.“It’s a 1000 per cent increase for most clubs,”

she said. “It’s not fair or reasonable .”

Sunshine Baseball Club vice-president Rob

Browne said the club was in danger of folding

as it faced a $3800 annual bill on top of a $750

Baseball Victoria annual fee. “ Our numbers

will drop, we’ll close our doors as a worst case

scenario ,” he said.

Clubs currently pay a � at $160 annual fee,

raising about $7000 a year for the council.

Brimbank community well-being director

Neil Whiteside said a new “shared approach”

between the council and clubs was required.

“� e council spends millions of dollars on

maintenance [on these facilities],” he said.

� e council will consider a � nal dra� for

adoption at an upcoming meeting.

Chicken’s � own

the coop

By Benjamin Millar

Nearly 100 more jobs are set to be lost from

Melbourne’s western suburbs with Tottenham

power cable manufacturer Nexans Olex to

cease production before the end of the year.

A high Australian dollar and falling demand

are being blamed for the decision to shut down

operations and lay o� 90 workers, with locally

made products struggling against global

competitors. � e job losses follow gradual

cuts at Nexans Olex over the past 12 months

Cable jobs to join exodus

and come as thousands of western suburbs

workers face employment oblivion in the face

of ship-building and auto-industry closures.

Nexans Olex is Australia’s largest power

cable supplier, employing more than 700 sta�

in Australia and New Zealand. Its human

resources and corporate a� airs general manager

John � omson said the company would be doing

the right thing by workers a� ected .

“Our immediate priority is to provide

appropriate support to these employees,” he

said.

A statement issued by the company indicated

the exact timing of the Tottenham closure

would coincide with completion of forward

orders. “Nexans Olex has taken this step to position

the company for a sustainable and successful

future in Australia,” the statement read. “Over

the coming months, Nexans Olex will work

closely with customers to ensure they are

provided with the best cable solutions.”

� e company’s Lilydale site and New Zealand

operation are una� ected by the decision.

Mr � omson said the Tottenham warehouse

operations would remain in place, and sales,

sales support, supply chain and technical and

administration roles would mostly be una� ected.

“� e Tottenham facility as such is not closing,”

he said. “[However] the manufacturing of power

cable products will not reopen at Tottenham.

Manufactured products will be sourced from

our Lilydale or New Plymouth [New Zealand]

facilities or from Nexans-approved supply

partners.”■ Unity ticket on ships job threat – P 8

A dog that brutally mauled the face of a

six-year-old girl, leaving permanent scars and

ripping out a tooth, has been spared death.

In a May 27 hearing at the Ballarat

Magistrates Court, the dog’s three owners,

Stuart, Denise and Anthony Wilson, were

found guilty of owning a dog that caused

serious injury.

� e prize-winning kelpie, named “Mack”,

attacked the girl at the Wilsons’ Balliang farm

Reprieve for vicious dog

on June 22 last year. � e Wilsons, who are

grandparents and uncle of the victim, must

pay nearly $12,000 for the dog’s pound costs, a

$2 000 � ne each and court costs.

However, the magistrate refused to sentence

“Mack” to death, leaving Moorabool council to

impose conditions for the owners before their

pet is returned to them.

In making his decision, magistrate Peter

Mithen took into account that the Wilsons had

no prior convictions and had a good standing

in the community . In a closed session on June 4, Moorabool

councillors voted to place restrictions on the

dog, including keeping it in a secure location

and having it muzzled when it is not working

and when there are visitors at the property.

Moorabool mayor

Paul Tatchell

said

community safety was paramount, which was

why the council vigorously pursued the matter

through the court .

“� is case should serve as a reminder to

animal owners to supervise their animals

properly, particularly if they mix with children.”

� e council had originally requested that the

dog be put down.

“Current legislation is really wide-eyed when

it comes to working dogs ,” said Cr Tatchell.

“We need to put a policy in place so we can

deal with working dogs. We live in a rural

region so the problem may come up again.”

Moorabool council will now prepare a

contract to set out the exact conditions and

terms of Mack’s return. If the owners fail to

agree to the conditions within 14 days, “Mack”

will be declared a dangerous dog.

Housemates go for gold

By Helen Grimaux

and Melissa Cunningham

Children and family service agencies

in the north are at crisis point due to

falling numbers of state-funded child

protection workers and steep rises in

family violence reports.

A Community and Public Sector

Union spokesman told Star Weekly the

Department of Human Services had

known since last December of serious

shortfalls in sta� ng at its Preston o� ce,

where there have been complaints of

occupational health and safety issues

because of heavy caseloads.

� e Preston o� ce covers Hume-

Moreland and the North East Melbourne

catchment.WorkCover had been called in

to the Preston o� ce a� er workload

complaints, and its sta� turnover was

higher than elsewhere because of work

pressures , the union spokesman said.

� e spokesman said the largest sta�

losses were among level-4 practitioners,

who undertake face-to-face casework

with young people in unsafe and

emergency situations.

“Numbers are down from 1347 EFT

[e� ective full-time] in October 2013 to

1261 EFT by December, or 7 per cent

statewide,” the spokesman said.

Victoria’s Community

Services

Minister Mary Wooldridge last week

launch ed a statewide campaign to

recruit additional senior child protection

practitioners.

Contradicting the

union, a

spokesman for the minister said child

protection sta� ng levels had improved

under the current state government.

� e spokesman referred to the

Strengthening Risk

Management

program, which has been operating in

Hume since 2011 and supports women

and children experiencing extreme

family violence.

� is program is led by Berry Street

Northern Family

and Domestic

Violence Services and involves Berry

Street family violence workers, Victoria

Police, child protection, Child FIRST,

family support services and Hume

council.� e state

government has

also

announced a $30 million funding

package to expand the Strengthening

Risk Management program statewide,

and its new model for integrated human

services, Services Connect, aims to

streamline services.

� e new model is already being

trialled at a number of sites, including

the department’s Preston o� ce, and

will extend to Hume and Moreland

later this month.

However, Whittlesea councillor and

anti-family-violence campaigner Kris

Pavlidis said there was a dire need for

more child protection workers in the

north.She said rising rates of family violence

in the community had increased

pressure on council-run family services

and the council was doing “all they

could” to support those in need.

“But the council can’t do it alone;

we need the assistance of state and

federal governments to inject funding

to build more culturally diverse social

infrastructure to support families.”

A proposal by Villawood Properties

to subdivide Davies Hill in Woodend

could still become a reality a� er

changes were made to the scale of the

proposed development in response to

“community concerns”.

� e developers

say the

new

proposal could be considered as in-� ll

development and would � t with the

Woodend Structure Plan.

Villawood Properties

executive

director Rory Costelloe said the revised

proposal was for an “environmentally

responsive low-density development”.

“� e proposal � ts in with the

Woodend Structure Plan by addressing

all of the site-responsive issues that have

been identi� ed and by ensuring the

town will not be overwhelmed by an

intensive urban development,” he said.

“All of the neighbourhood character

concerns of the community have

been addressed via a series of binding

development commitments.”

� e revised proposal includes a

reduction from the 300-lot subdivision

submitted to the council in 2012 to a

total of 150 lots.

In 2009, Villawood made a request

to rezone the same land for a 650-lot

development. � e lot sizes in the revised

plan are between 0.2 and 8 hectares.

� e inclusion of a retirement village

is also proposed.

Mr Costelloe said the number of lots

for the retirement village was not yet

determined.

“We are

happy to

accept a

recommendation from council, though,

on what it sees as necessary to meet the

needs of the community,” he said.

Star Weekly understands two brie� ng

sessions were held in May between

Mesh Planning, for Villawood, and the

council, at which the revised proposal

for Davies Hill was discussed before the

Woodend Structure Plan was adopted

by the council.

� e plan was due to be adopted last

month by the council, but it was delayed

a� er Cr John Letchford submitted a

recission motion. He retracted the

motion on Wednesday.

An amendment to the council’s

planning scheme would be made to

implement the structure plan. While not

all planning scheme amendments go to

a panel, it is likely that an amendment of

this nature would.

Woodend resident

John Shaw

questioned why the council would

consider any proposal outside the town

boundary set out in the structure plan.

Villawood proposal could be entertained

now that the council has adopted the

Runway projects take � ight

By Xavier Smerdon

A new $28 million building at Werribee

Mercy Hospital is in danger of closing

just four months a� er it opened because

of federal and state budget pressures.

� e Catherine McAuley Centre is a

rehabilitation and geriatric medicine

complex built to cater for patients in

Melbourne’s west who are recovering

from surgery or serious injury.

� e two-storey building, opened in

February, o� ers an in-patient ward with

30 multi-day beds, eight two-bed rooms

and 14 single-bed rooms.

It also includes a gymnasium, meeting

rooms, sta� rooms and o� ces on the

ground � oor.

But Lalor MP Joanne Ryan said

funding cuts to Mercy Health, which

runs the hospital, could close the new

sub-acute and rehab facility.

Mercy Health executive director

of health services Dr Linda Mellors

con� rmed that federal funding for

sub-acute services in the new building

would end on June 30.

“We’re now waiting on our budget for

the next � nancial year,” she said.

“� e rehabilitation and geriatric

evaluation and management beds have

been full almost since we opened.

“� ese services were desperately

needed and I’m certain the community

would be disadvantaged if they were no

longer available.”

Ms Ryan said Mercy Health had been

hit with funding cuts of $29.4 million

over the next four years.

“Mercy Health in Werribee has

well-trained and dedicated sta� ; some

of the top experts in Victoria choose to

work at this service,” Ms Ryan said.

“But this makes their task so much

harder. Not only is there no new money

to fund for growth, it cuts expected

operation funding. � is will have an

immediate impact.

“� is funding cut has the potential to

put the brand new sub-acute and rehab

facility under threat of closure.”

A spokesman for federal Health

Minister Peter Dutton said health

funding to Victoria would rise from

$3.46 billion in 2013-14 to $4.69 billion

by 2017-18.

“In regards to sub-acute beds, Ms

Ryan knows full well that was a one-o�

funding arrangement, like many other

programs provided to the states,” the

spokesman said.

“Ms Ryan should explain why she’s

attempting to mislead her constituents

and why Labor didn’t make any funding

available in their forward estimates.”

But Ms

Ryan said

that when

compared to Labor’s last budget, the

Abbott government

was investing

$3.2 billion less for public hospitals and

Wyndham residents could not a� ord to

see health services go backwards.

“Peter Dutton has very limited under-

standing about the health needs of this

community,” she said.

“We’re a high-growth area that

requires further investment, not cuts.

Star Weekly revealed in May that

Werribee Mercy had missed out on

$85 million requested from the state

government for new operating theatres,

an in-patient unit, central sterile supply

department, and eight critical-care beds.

investment, not cuts ’’

NORTHERN.STARWEEKLY.COm.Au

By Helen Grimaux

NAIDOC Week started on Sunday in Melbourne’s north with the formal naming of the new Craigieburn art space as the Gee Lee-Wik Doleen Gallery.

Gee Lee-Wik Doleen is a Woiwurrung term meaning The Ancestors’ Pride.

Visitors to the gallery this week are being invited to draw or write directly on its walls, following threads and outlines created by a number of local artists and based on the Gee Lee-Wik Doleen name.

“The phrase Gee Lee-Wik Doleen pays respect to the many people who have contributed to the rich cultural heritage of the area and the legacy on which the gallery and its program have been built,” Hume mayor Casey Nunn said.

The progressive exhibition will run until the end of August.

In Whittlesea tomorrow, the council, the Ngarara Willim Centre and RMIT University will host a free tour of the Keelbundoora Scarred Trees and Heritage Trail at RMIT University’s Bundoora West campus.

There are six scarred trees along the trail, as well as a creative interpretation of the resource harvesting techniques practised by generations of Aborigines.

Wurundjeri elders will guide the tour and indicate local bush tucker and Aboriginal cultural land management. The tour starts 10am at the Bundoora West campus, Plenty Road (Melway 10 A8); phone 9217 2174.

The 2014 Melbourne NAIDOC Week march will start at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Services, 186 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy, at 10am on Friday and finish in the CBD.

NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee.

Pride shines brightly

Sizzling meats, sunflower seeds and sticky baklava will be on the menu at the fifth annual street iftar this weekend at Meadow Heights mosque.

But on a normal Ramadan night, it’s the taste of a single date that fasting Muslims savour.

Iftar means to “break fast” and is an intrinsic part of the 30 days of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time of spiritual reflection, improvement and increased devotion and worship.

The act of daily, dawn to dusk fasting, now being practised around the world, is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the soul, encourage self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice and empathy for those less fortunate, giving rise to actions of generosity and compulsory charity (zakat).

Two Islamic youth groups, Sareera and Australian Islamic Social Association (AISA) Youth, have joined forces to organise this Saturday’s street iftar.

Sareera’s university group secretary Bahar Acahan says everyone in the community is invited. “There will be Turkish food, stalls and led discussions on faith,” Ms Acahan says. “Some ladies will sell jewellery and scarves. There will also be a group prayer that we all do together.”

Group president Nursen Turker says fasting has taught her many things. “When you break the fast, you are holding the date in your hand, counting down the minutes,” Ms Turker says.

“You always think you can eat more than you can because you are so hungry, but when you finally eat you realise you don’t need that much food and you could fast for another eight hours.

“It teaches you to really appreciate your food and savour it. It’s indescribable. You become so

appreciative of what you have, especially when you think of people on the other side of the world who don’t have a choice about fasting.”

Ms Turker says Muslims really look forward to the month of Ramadan. “You make the effort to be home on time to eat dinner with

your family, so it brings everyone together.”Last year’s street iftar catered for about 1500

people and the group hopes to attract even more this weekend. The iftar starts at 4pm on Saturday at Meadow Heights Mosque, 15/17 Hudson Circuit, Meadow Heights.

Whittlesea Ranges’ season has come alive with two wins in six days in division 1 of the National Premier League.

While still sitting second from bottom on the table, the Ranges have played with more confidence in the past two matches.

They beat Kingston City 4-2 last Monday night and backed it up with a 2-1 win against Bendigo on Saturday.

“The players have been working hard and have knuckled down,” coach Vinko Buljubasic said.

“We’re more competitive in games and we now know we can win them, too.

“The inclusions of a new goalkeeper, Gregory Lascaris, from Malvern, and central defender Andrew Taylor, from Sunshine George Cross, have also paid off. Taylor has a point to prove after not getting many minutes with George Cross.”

Taylor scored one of Ranges’ goals on Saturday night and Kliment Dimitriseki the other.

“We dominated for long periods, but it was a bit muddy on the flanks and it wasn’t as free-flowing as we would have liked,” Buljubasic said. “They were physical, but we were able to match it and I was very happy.”

Buljubasic said the next few games would define his club’s season.

“If we can pick up another two wins, it will give us another six points and put us in the battle for the middle of the table,” he said. “If we can’t win, we’ll still be around the bottom.”

Ranges’ next match is against Sunshine George Cross at Epping Stadium at 8.30pm on Friday.

In NPL, Hume City beat Dandenong Thunder 1-0 on Sunday.
