Melton residents can expect a 4.4 per cent rate rise this year as part of the councils newly released dra budget.

Melton chief executive Kelvin Tori said the proposed budget kept borrowings to a minimum and increased the pensioner rebate.

Capital expenditure for the next nancial year has been slashed by almost 50 per cent, from $50.1 million to $25.4 million.

Capital works allocations include completing projects such as the Bridge Road Reserve Athletics and Hockey Centre and pavilion, the Burnside Community Centre and Early Years

City budgets for long haulfacility and redevelopment of the aged-care precinct in McKenzie Street.

Mr Tori said the proposed capital works budget could not be compared with the 2014-15 budget because it had included works carried over from the previous budget.

In that $50 million [2014-15], there was a signicant carry-through from the previous year of works that we werent able to complete, Mr Tori said.

He said about $15 million was carried over and added to what would have been a $35 million capital works budget in line with this years $25 million proposed budget.

eres no such thing as enough; we could

spend $200 million without blinking an eyelid, he said of capital works expenditure.

Mr Tori said a high-level strategic resource plan for 2015-16 to 2017-18 had been developed to help the council develop a budget within a longer-term nancial framework.

He said a signicant capital works program would be sought in the future. Its a scally responsible budget that has an eye out to the future, but it maintains the high standard of service delivery that council has traditionally provided to the community, Mr Tori said.

Mayor Sophie Ramsey said the community deserved to be happy, healthy and well resourced, and there was more to come.

If I really didnt care about the nancial welfare of our community, you could put in all the big-ticket items and keep rolling them out, but you would have rate rises that were unsustainable. She said eight key projects would start next month, including the Western BACE (business centre)

All councillors voted for the dra budget except Cr Lara Carli, who supports the state governments proposed rate cap at CPI. e dra budget is open for public submissions until May 22. Send submissions to [email protected] or PO Box 21, Melton 3337.

Evan, Luke and Adam (pictured) were happy to have a kick around the newly resurfaced Ballan Recreation Reserve last week.

The reserve is ready for action again after undergoing a $100,000 resurfacing by Moorabool council.

The Ballan and Bungaree footy teams put the new ground to the test last weekend in a Central Highlands Football League round two clash.

Mayor Paul Tatchell said the ground was in great condition for the game and the season ahead.

With a growing population in Ballan, theres increased demand for usage of the reserve, Cr Tatchell said.

Ballan Football Netball Club president Billy Smith said the ground was now in excellent shape.

Its ongoing maintenance has now been handed over to the Ballan Recreation Reserve management committee.

Completing the project, a cricket wicket will be laid after the last home game of the football season.

Its good to get out on the bike and have a chat on the road, Sam said.

He admits the training can be intense but said he managed to juggle training and school.

Its pretty tough, he said. I get home from school and go for a ride, do

what I need to on the bike and then come back, have dinner and get my homework done, then go to bed early.

A Hillside man was le shaken and feeling lucky to be alive aer a road rage incident on the Western Ring Road on Tuesday morning.

John Montalto, 48, was travelling south in the right-hand lane of the Western Ring Road near Airport West about 11.20am when a truck driver started to tailgate him.

Mr Montalto said he was rammed three times by the truck, with the nal hit forcing him to veer o the road into the centre median strip and into a light pole.

It was scary, I could have been killed. Im lucky it was only me in the car; if there was someone else he could have killed them, and I was lucky I didnt kill anyone else.

Mr Montalto was treated at the scene by paramedics for shock and whiplash. He described the truck driver as an idiot and a gutless wonder.

Aer the ramming, the truck driver accelerated rapidly, veering across three lanes and exiting at the Calder Freeway overpass, taking the Keilor Park Drive exit.

One in every seven people killed on regional roads last year was not wearing a seatbelt, Victoria Police say.

On what marks the 45th anniversary of the introduction of mandatory seatbelt laws, police are still warning drivers to buckle up.

Road Policing Command Super- intendent Michael Grainger said it was a tragedy to see so many needless deaths.

We know country Victorians are three times more likely to be killed on the road than those living in metropolitan areas and we also know that the majority of people killed on country roads are locals, Superintendent Grainger said.

We need the community to do all it can to help reduce this trend, which is why I appeal for all drivers to remember to buckle up and make sure their passengers do the same, he said. Seatbelts take two seconds to put on and halve the risk of serious injury or death.

Twenty-one drivers or passengers who were not wearing seatbelts died in vehicle crashes in Victoria in 2013; last year the number was 14.

Drivers caught not wearing seatbelts or with passengers not wearing seatbelts face a ne of $295 and three demerit points.

We dont want to ne people for not wearing a seatbelt but, even more so, we dont want to go to a crash where someone wasnt wearing one, Superintendent Grainger said. Save yourself the ne and buckle up it could save your life.

Melton residents are being urged to check their blood pressure ahead of Australias Biggest Blood Pressure Check next week.

Chemmart stores across Melton are joining the National Stroke Foundation to oer free blood-pressure checks to residents through to Australias Biggest Blood Pressure Check on May 6.

Melton Chemmart Pharmacy Superstore pharmacist Tony Cox said the checks were fast and simple.

He said the checks, along with a cardiovascular and diabetes risk assessment, could help identify those at risk of stroke.

Were calling on locals to stop in for a free blood-pressure check, Mr Cox said. It will only take ve minutes.

More than 30,326 residents in the Lalor electorate are living with high blood pressure, according to a recent study by the National Stroke Foundation.

High blood pressure is among the most important known risk factors for stroke, causing damage to blood vessel walls, which may eventually lead to a stroke, Mr Cox said.

High blood pressure has no symptoms the only way to know your blood pressure is to have it checked.

National Stroke Foundation chief executive Erin Lalor said the aim of the promotion was to deliver 15,000 free blood-pressure checks across the country and raise awareness of stroke and stroke risks.

Last year, we delivered blood pressure, along with a cardiovascular and diabetes risk assessments, to more than 10,000 people and discovered around a quarter were at risk of having a stroke, Dr Lalor said.

A Gallipoli oak tree will rise in front of Melton South Primary School and serve as a link between the school and Gallipoli.

A seedling was received last week and planted by pupils in time to mark the centenary of Anzacs landing in Gallipoli.

As it grows, it will serve as a symbolic link between pupils and the Anzac centenary, Gallipoli and the people of Turkey.

Gallipoli oak grandparent trees were grown from acorns originally sent to Australia by soldiers ghting at the Gallipoli Peninsula in World War I.

Primary schools across Victoria have registered to receive an oak, and Melton South Primary was one of the rst of300 schools in the state to receive its treelast week.

Classroom teacher Sandra Hawkins said the oak was a special way for the school community to remember the fallen and returned servicemen and women.

She said the oak would also be a focal point in future discussions and study of Anzac Day.

Its something tangible the students can go and see. eyre very excited that we have that link with Gallipoli. ey all know about Gallipoli and understand what happened there.

Last Friday pupils held a special assembly in honour of Anzac Day. As part of the assembly, they discussed the importance of having the oak tree at their school.

Kurunjang Primary School pupils acknowledged the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli at a special ceremony last week at the school.

Pupils prepared for the ceremony by making wreaths, writing speeches and learning poems.

Grade six pupils Stephanie and Challese prepared a speech together for the ceremony and said it was important to remember all those who fought in the war.

Its about respecting and remembering all the soldiers who fought in the war because they put in all their eort to ght for our country, so our country can be safe, Stephanie said.

Its important to us especially because its the hundredth anniversary.

Challese said a lot of research went into their speech and the pair worked together at lunch times in preparation.

Were going to talk about remembering all the soldiers and what they did for our country, and also the nurses, Challese said. Some of them didnt come back.

Classroom teacher Melita Calleja said the whole school community learned about Anzac Day in the lead-up to the ceremony.

We really want to teach the students about respecting and understanding the importance of what our Diggers and what our war veterans did for us, Ms Calleja said.

Melton councils dra budget has put the spotlight back on the state governments commitment to introduce a fair rate capping system.

e governments Fair Go rates cap is expected to come into eect for the 2016-17 budget to ensure a fair go for all ratepayers.

Watts ward councillor Lara Carli was last week the only councillor to oppose Meltons dra budget for 2015-16, maintaining her support for capping rates at the consumer price index (CPI).

Since Ive been on council, I have opposed rate increases above CPI levels, Cr Carli said.

Im a strong advocate for capping rates as its the only method to give our residents some nancial relief through the council.

e Essential Services Commission (ESC) is running extensive community consultation with councils and ratepayers on the Fair Go rates proposal.

Melton chief executive Kelvin Tori and mayor Sophie Ramsey, who have been involved in the consultation, said the council would make a submission to the ESC about issues unique to growth councils such as Melton.

Mr Tori said the council did not support capping rates at an articial gure.

CPI is not a good indicator when the core business of council is really about delivering services, which relates more to wage growth and less to CPI, and delivering infrastructure, which relates more to contract index rather than consumer price index, Mr Tori said.

He said the councils submission would draw on the fact that, as a growth council, Melton needed infrastructure in place before its community was fully developed.

We have the need to fund that and therefore it is not possible to fund it by a CPI-cap rate increase, he said.

Cr Ramsey said every council was dierent and a one size ts all approach would not suit all municipalities.

We will advocate for this community as best we can but, at the end of the day, its very hard to put a blanket CPI rate cap right across because every council is fundamentally dierent.

Cr Ramsey said that council was willing to work in partnership with the ESC and everyone involved to develop a suitable strategy.

According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, capping rates at the consumer price index, based on December 2014-15 gures, equated to a 1.7 to 2.2 per cent rise, about half Melton councils proposed increase of 4.4 per cent.

Melton MP Don Nardella said the Fair Go rates cap would encourage councils to focus on things that mattered most to communities.

Larissa Davine is proving the naysayers wrong with her entry into Moorabool Shires art competition. e 19-year-old entered a detailed drawing of US screen actor Morgan Freeman into the shires art competition, which was part of its National Youth Week festivities. e artwork was a crowd favourite and Ms Davine won the Peoples Choice Award aer having her work displayed at the Bacchus Marsh public hall and online through the Moorabool Youth Services Facebook page. She said Freeman was one of her role models and she found his work as an actor inspiring. In Bruce Almighty [in which he plays God], he teaches people to do the right thing, and that anyone can start from nothing and become a something. It doesnt matter who says you cant

do something, you can if you believe you can. Ms Davine took those messages on board

and entered the arts competition this year to prove she was capable of arts and drawing aer failing her arts subject in school last year. She said she loved to draw and wanted to prove to the community and herself that her marks were wrong. Its a pretty good feeling, she said of winning. It was so good to know that there were so many people out there to help me achieve something I wanted to achieve, she said. Ms Davine now hopes to go back to school, complete year 12 and continue her work with art. Naturally, her message to others is to always give it a go.

A large park rimmed on four sides by modern houses, including this one, makes this spot in Botanica Springs estate one that families will relish.

Its the type of well-designed open space that provides a sense of community and a focal point for getting to know neighbours, something many people hanker for these days.

But if thats not your bag, there are plenty of reasons to just relax at home, with comfortable, light-lled rooms making that a pleasure. And outdoors work wont

be onerous, with pebbled front and back yards requiring minimal upkeep.

Glossy, latte-toned oor tiles delineate the entry hall, to the left of which (through double doors) is the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite with a latte/sandstone decor and raised square vanity basin.

Vertical blinds dress the windows in the bedroom and theres grey carpet both used throughout. The two other bedrooms (with wardrobes) are further along the hallway, as is a separate toilet and main

bathroom, appointed the same as the smaller. The laundry near here has a walk-in storage closet.

The good-sized living hub at the back has a tiled meals zone and a carpeted sitting area, a good combination for practicality and comfort. The smart kitchen has benches including an island topped with matte-latte laminate, a walk-in pantry, shiny black splashback tiles, dishwasher, underbench oven and 900mm gas cooktop.

An integrated pergola with timber deck
