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

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.

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

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

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.

MELTON.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU NEWS
11 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ APRIL 28, 2015
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

caters for outdoor relaxation and links with a compact backyard,
where pittosporums parade along the fence line.
The house is beautifully presented, with its new gleam intact,
and represents a chance for rst-home buyers to snag an affordable
place and begin their new life parkside.
The property also has ducted heating and cooling and a single
garage with internal access.
