Wind farm research neededGood on John McMahon, for lobbying for independent noise testing at Moorabools Lal Lal wind energy facility (Weekly, March 25).

In March 2011, a Senate inquiry into the social and economic effects of rural wind farms recommended further research and a cautionary approach, due to the possible health effects if turbines were built too close to houses.

The dismissive attitude of Moorabool Environment Group president Rose de la Cruz, who discounted any evidence that wind farms caused medical problems, indicates she has not taken heed of any worldwide research being undertaken which points to evidence to the contrary.

She obviously hasnt met with anyone in Victoria who has been adversely affected, some to the extent that they can no longer live in their homes.

If wind farms are to become part of our mix of renewable energy solutions, is it not a good idea to make sure that the production of clean, green power is done in such a way that there is an acceptable compromise between the proponents of the facility, landholders and neighbours?

Road work woesWorks to upgrade the intersection of Coburn and Barries roads in Melton began about 12 months ago. Since then, a temporary pedestrian crossing at Barries Road has been run over several times.

Projects to add traffic lights in Ferris Road and a roundabout at Melton Valley and Federation drives were completed in

half the time it has taken to complete the very dangerous intersection at Coburn and Barries roads, which has even more traffic now the second stage of the Woodgrove shopping centre has opened.

Ravenhall landfillAs recently as August last year, Boral has had a licence to dump putrescible waste.That is, decomposable waste, which according to the Environment Protection Authority can lead to vermin; seagulls; dust; odour; flies and other insects; fires; and surface and groundwater contamination by leachate. It is also permitted to dispose of pneumatic tyres and contaminated soil.

Parking problemsMelton councils bylaws officers could have a field day in front of the WestWaters Hotel in Caroline Springs. Lazy people continue to park in a no-standing area, making it dangerous for drivers and pedestrians coming from the car park at nearby Caroline Springs Square.

It is amazing that despite there being a car park above the hotel, and plenty of spaces across the road, so many people feel they have to park right out the front.

A disturbing glimpse into the private rental market reveals young people relying on income support cannot afford to rent in the north-west. The release of rental affordability statistics comes as the number of people on the public housing waiting list in Melton and Brimbank tops 3500.

Affordability data released by Anglicare Victoria looked at 424 Melton properties advertised for rent on April 5.

Of these properties, 53 per cent (225) were deemed affordable for a couple on the minimum wage with two children. This dropped to 14 per cent (58) for a single person on the minimum wage with two children.

Just 10 properties (2 per cent) were affordable for a couple on income support with two children. For individuals on income allowance, no properties were suitable.

Principal researcher Tatiana Corrales said the figures highlighted young peoples exclusion from the private rental market.

Theres a lot [of housing] appropriate for their situation, but none affordable, Dr Corrales said.

The data showed Melton was one of the few outer-suburban regions with affordable housing for low-income couples with children.

Dr Corrales urged the state government to focus on improving infrastructure in urban-fringe areas.

People are migrating out, and the lack of infrastructure makes employment and

education opportunities a little harder, she said. Although people may be able to find affordable property, their ability to gain employment or education may easily be impacted.

People in need of social housing are also suffering. A total of 3613 people in Brimbank and Melton were on the public housing waiting list in March this year, up 4.5 per cent from December last year. In the Central Highlands region, including Moorabool, 860 people were on the list, an increase of 9.5 per cent.

Melton Labor MP Don Nardella said vulnerable families on the brink of homelessness were being locked out.

The government has made it harder to apply and stay in housing, and has reduced the amount of public housing available, he said. More women and children are without accommodation and living in danger.

Housing Minister Wendy Lovells spokeswoman said a drop in spending was largely attributed to the drying up of federal funding. Construction of properties continues, she said. Since November 2010, the Victorian government has acquired 6800 social housing properties.

Pathway for volunteersProject co-ordinator Ken Phillips, volunteer information officer Marian Ekladious, Cr Sophie Ramsey, Medicare Local chief executive Dr Vanda Fortuncto and Volunteer Wests Emma Sharp. (Wayne Hawkins)

By Natalie Gallenti-Brekalo

A new outreach service for people interested in volunteering in the western suburbs was launched last week.

Volunteer West, in partnership with Medicare Local and Melton, Brimbank and Maribyrnong councils, has opened offices in the three municipalities in a bid to encourage more people to volunteer.

General manager Emma Sharp said previously the organisation had been based in

Altona, and there were limited opportunities for prospective volunteers to meet with appropriate services. She said the new offices would benefit marginalised residents who felt more comfortable speaking in person.

Our mission is about making volunteering more accessible and for those people who need extra support and may just want face-to-face contact, she said.

Volunteering is an important part of the whole community. Studies have shown it relates to improvements in general health and

well-being and a reduction in crime and has an essential role in building a community.

Ms Sharp said the new outreach service was a pilot program that would be ongoing, subject to federal government funding.

Medicare Local chief executive Vanda Fortunato said volunteering was an integral part of every community.

I encourage everyone to visit ... to see how they can get involved, Dr Fortunato said.

Offices are located at Melton library and Sydenham Neighbourhood House.

Bacchus Marshs Joan Gauci-Quigley is a sister, daughter, friend, wife and breast cancer survivor. She will join hundreds of people at the MCG this Saturday to raise awareness of the life-threatening illness.

I lost my mother to breast cancer in 2008, and in 2011 my sister and I were both diagnosed, she said. The cause is close to my heart.

On May 10, the Cancer Council Victoria volunteer will join the Field of Women at the G as one of 15,000 partners, supporters, friends and survivors who will stand to represent how many Australian woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

My advice for all women is to keep up with self-examination and go to your check-ups, she said.

The Field of Women will be held at the MCG before the Melbourne versus Western Bulldogs game. Tickets are $55 and include entry to the game afterwards. All proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Network Australia: www.bcna.org.au

A Bacchus Marsh backyard gardener has won first prize in this years Moorabool Best Backyard Vegie Patch competition.

Allan Pryor, who has been gardening for more than 12 years, was judged on his summer garden, which included tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant.

The first-time entrant said he was thrilled to be picked from more than 20 other backyard growers and take home $500.

Im pretty passionate about my garden so it was great to be rewarded, he said.

Our family and friends, who we often give produce to, were more excited than us.

The retired Clifton Park estate resident said he spent two hours a week tending his garden.

If you miss those weekly hours, then it becomes a chore to bring it back to normal, he says.

I find it very relaxing. Ill have a coffee and look after it. I wish weeds would grow more quickly at times, to give me more to do.

As the colder months roll around, Allan will tend a winter garden that includes silverbeet, spring onions, lettuce and broccoli.

Hail, a happy vegie miteAllan Pryor loves looking after his vegetables. (Wayne Hawkins)

Briefs

Dog attack plays out in courtThe grandmother of a seven-year-old girl allegedly mauled by the grandparents prized sheep dog at their Balliang farm never called an ambulance in the belief it wasnt an emergency, a court heard. Denise Wilsons granddaughter was allegedly bitten by kelpie Mack on June 22 last year. The Ballarat Magistrates Court heard that the girl was rushed to hospital by her father and later underwent reconstructive microsurgery at the Royal Childrens Hospital to repair her face. Giving evidence on April 29, Ms Wilson, who is charged over the alleged attack alongside her husband, Stuart, and son, Anthony said her granddaughter said she didnt want an ambulance. The parents of the victim have called for the dog to be destroyed. Denise, Anthony and Stuart Wilson are each charged with offences relating to injuries caused by the dog bite. The hearing is expected to conclude on May 27.

Police clock car at 173km/hA 34-year-old Hillside man had his GT Falcon turbo impounded after he was allegedly caught doing almost triple the speed limit in Laverton North last Thursday morning. Police were conducting speed checks on Hume Road when they clocked a car allegedly travelling at 173km/h in a 60km/h zone about 4.45am. The driver was interviewed in relation to speeding offences and is expected to be charged on summons.



Council Briefs

Litterbugs on noticeMelton council has issued more than 500 notices to graffiti vandals and litter-bugs since the launch of its Litter Education and Prevention Program in October 2011. A report tabled at last weeks council meeting stated about $300,000 was spent every year on graffiti removal. In 2012-13, 785 tonnes of dumped material was collected by the council with disposal costs reaching $67,620. Coburn ward councillor Sophie Ramsey commended mayor Bob Turner for pushing the graffiti agenda.

Houdini history grounded Melton residents will have to wait to see a piece of Diggers Rest history go on show. The council last week said there were no appropriate facilities to display a model of American escapologist Harry Houdinis aircraft. The model aircraft was constructed to celebrate Houdinis famous flight 100 years ago at Diggers Rest. The council will consider including the model at the proposed Diggers Rest Community Centre to be constructed in 2018-19.

Hume Drive commitment flails A move to commit funding to improve safety for Taylors Hills motorists was knocked back at last weeks Melton council meeting. Watts ward councillor Lara Carli wanted the council to commit to funding in preparation for the duplication of Hume Drive. She said the funding would be used to prepare a traffic study and design for the duplication.

A Hillside teacher is making his mark in the Victorian Athletic League.

Robert Spencer, 27, who teaches physical education at Parkwood Green Primary School, took out the 120-metre Gift Winners Gift at last months Stawell Gift meeting.

The Gift Winners Gift is an invitational race, with winners of the leagues top eight gift races competing for a $5000 first prize.

Spencer qualified by winning the Bendigo Thousand in March. He narrowly missed out on making the final of the Stawell Gift, placing second in the semi-final.

Spencer started running in primary school and developed a talent in sprint races.

In my first year, I could barely make the top 10 in my club. Second year, I came second in the state. In my third year, I won nationals.

Spencer took a few years off in his early 20s to study and travel before returning to the track about three years ago.

He trains up to three hours a day, seven days a week, incorporating sprint and weight training, pool running, pilates and running sand dunes.

suburbs with contempt because theyre safe seats for Labor, so they tend to take them for granted. Were out there actually creating jobs, improving infrastructure and delivering for the western suburbs. In last years budget, we provided funding for new schools at Melton, Wyndham Vale and Truganina. We built the special school at Laverton, again, an area neglected under the previous government. I think the people there need to question their allegiance to the Labor Party, because while Labor talk about things, we actually do them.

The brutal stabbing in Sunshine last month saw an outpouring of community support. In terms of family violence, what can be done to prevent these kinds of attacks?

These are challenges for our whole community. We as a government have significantly increased funding to tackle family violence. Were spending a lot of money working with groups that assist victims of family violence. Were also spending significant money dealing with perpetrators; I believe that if you want to prevent family violence then you need to work with men who have a tendency to be violent and help them deal with their behaviour.

Will the state government fund a 24-hour police station in Caroline Springs?

The government will continue to monitor police services in growth communities and will consider any proposals put forward by Victoria Police and the chief commissioner.

Will councillors be re-elected to Brimbank City Council in March next year as planned?

The Minister for Local Government is meeting with Brimbank residents in response to their concerns about the potential waste of council rates if two elections are held within 18 months. .If the minister feels any extension of the commissioners term is justified, he will bring a submission to Cabinet to draft legislation to then be debated.

Regional Rail Link is another. The biggest rail project in Victorias history, a $4.7 billion project, and its in Melbournes west. While its called the Regional Rail Link, other beneficiaries are the western and north-western suburbs because when you take the V/Line services off

those lines, you actually create opportunity to increase the number of Metro services from Williamstown, Werribee and Sunbury. Weve put on more Metro services since weve been in government, and were going to have the opportunity with Regional Rail to increase the

number of Metro services even further.Another example of delivering for the west

is PSOs on the stations. That significantly improves safety at the stations and the car parks around them.

The Labor Party, I think, treat the western

Ahead of the budget, Premier Denis Napthine is promising the western suburbs better and safer train services. (Joe Mastroianni)

Both 86, the couple decided to try Choice Fresh Meals after Mavis had heard good reports from friends.I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try, Mavis said.The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food.And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. Its a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of mealseveryone has something they dont like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose from.We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals, Mavis said.Its conveniently delivered to us by Choice Fresh Meals who also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights its a nice break.

Uninterrupted views to the Pentland Hills are just one highlight of this lovingly-maintained Melton West home.

On a landscaped 555-square-metre block at the end of a no-through road and close to child care, a convenience store and bus, the dwelling is close to Melton Waves Leisure Centre, schools and a playground.

Coburns Central and Woodgrove shopping centres and a cinema complex are also nearby.

Epitomising value for money, particularly for first-time buyers with their stamp duty concessions, the brick-veneer residence has about 16 squares of living space in its

practical, single-level layout.The long entry hall with floating

floorboards provides a welcoming introduction to the house, which is about 10 years old.

To the left is the main bedroom which features an air-conditioner, walk-in wardrobe and en suite with corner shower, vanity and toilet.

Further along the hall is direct access to the garage which includes shelving and rear access, and a versatile sitting room that could be used as an office or theatre room.

A doorway at the end of the hall leads

into another wing that includes two bedrooms with mirror-front wardrobes and ceiling fans; a light-filled laundry with linen press; separate toilet; and the family bathroom with shower, bath and vanity.

But its the informal living and dining zone at the rear where most of the day-to-day activities take place.

Its centrepiece is the vinyl-wrap kitchen, but includes the lounge room with LG Neo Plasma split-system, and a meals area that opens on either side to a deck that provides plenty of options for entertaining.

The kitchen is equipped with stainless-

steel appliances (Fisher & Paykel wall oven, Simpson rangehood and Simpson Eziset four-burner gas cooktop); microwave shelf; tiled splashback; and island bench set with Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.

The low-maintenance backyard includes a steel shed, and fruit trees including mandarin and lemon.

Parking poses no problems, with a remote-controlled double garage.

Extras such as ducted heating, alarm and security doors enhance the propertys considerable appeal.
