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

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.

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.
“I � nd it di� cult to see how a
Villawood proposal could be entertained
now that the council has adopted the
Woodend Structure Plan,” he said.
Macedon Ranges
Council chief
executive o� cer Peter Johnston said
the structure plan nominated three
potential areas
to accommodate
medium- and long-term population
growth in case future supply within
the town boundaries proved to be
insu� cient. “� rough all our structure
plans, council ensures there are a
range options to accommodate future
population growth in response to
community need or wishes,” he said.

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 ’’

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.

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.
