Funding for East facing on-off ramps over
Halletts Way has been announced - again.
The project has seen controversy over many
years with multiple funding arrangements
announced by succeeding state and
federal governments but the latest joint
announcement by the state and federal
governments is set to see the project begin
by the end of this year.
The project involves east facing access
ramps and a shared user path bridge over

Fourth
time
lucky!
By Kate Taylor
An application to extend a Maddingley
building permit for a fourth time has been
refused and then approved in the final
resolution.
Councillors voted at the February council
meeting to pass the amended motion to
refuse the permit extension, following an
original recommendation made by council
officers to approve the extension request.
Concerns were raised that the permit was
being warehoused.
A report tabled at the meeting stated that
no construction had begun in the more
than six years since the original permit was
issued for the Peelmans Lane property, that
the land has been for sale for some time,
and that the original plans have changed to
include four subdivisions instead of five with
an additional change to the arrangement of
planned houses.
Originally issued back in 2008, the permit
was granted an extension for two years in
2011 with delays being blamed for finance
collapsing; a second extension was granted
in 2013 for one year, with the reason given
that finance was just recently approved; a
third extension of one year was granted in
2014, with the reason again being stated as
funding having only been approved recently.
The conclusion presented by council
officers stated that no effort to commence the
development is warehousing of the permit
and that the request for the extension is
beyond a reasonable amount of time.
Owner Peter Thompson spoke at the
meeting, saying that he, his wife and his son
bought the land.
Warehoused I cannot find that definition
in the Planning Scheme, he told the meeting.
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey
asked Mr Thompson what his readiness
was to begin the project now, and what the
hurdles are.
Theres no financial problem, the builders
are ready to go, no problem in that regard,
Mr Thompson replied.
Councillors voted to approve the application
to extend the time for commencement and
completion for one year, meaning that
development must commence by September
29 this year and be completed by 29
September 2018.

the Peri Urban Group of Rural Councils is seeking assistance in the form of a Rural

Blackwoods new mobile phone tower is now operational.
Telstra Country Wides Area General manager Bill Mundy
confirmed the news.
The Blackwood Mobile Base Station has been completed
as a part of the Federal Governments Mobile Black Spots
Program and will provide much-needed mobile voice and
data coverage to the township of Blackwood, both 3G and
4G, Mr Mundy said.
The tower follows years of lobbying in particular since the
town was listed as one of Victorias top 50 at risk of bushfire.
It was funded by the state and federal governments as well

The Statistics
Over the past five years, the rate of drug use and
possession incidents in regional Victoria has doubled
(up 109 per cent).
There were smaller increases in both rural Victoria (up
76 per cent) and metropolitan Melbourne (up 57 per
cent).
The proportion of drug use and possession offending
that occurred in regional Victoria has increased, and
now comprises almost a fifth of these incidents.
Most offenders were aged between 15-29 when they
first offended. In metropolitan Melbourne offenders were
more likely to be between the age of 20-29 compared to
rural and regional offenders.

According to Greg Foyster
the award is a favour returned. Its a thank you
from an oil-rich nation for

The only credible clue as
to why Hunt may have got
the gong is in his acceptance speech. In November
last year, he said, the UAE
hosted the Montreal Protocol discussion aimed at both
protecting our ozone layer
and reducing greenhouse
emissions. Australia was
delighted to support the
UAE in producing a breakthrough Dubai Roadmap to
phase down HFCs and to
save the world an astonishing 90 billion tonnes of emissions to 2050.

Dear Editor,
A Mr Kolevski asked a
question (in Herald/Sun
50/50, 2 Jan) what water the
CFA used in fighting the
fires on the Great Ocean
Road (GOR).
A George from Ballan took
offence and with typical,
backwards sarcasm, asked
(H/Sun 50/50, 5 Jan) whether
the CFA should use imported Perrier water.
In light of the fire experts
having to send a huge aeroplane back to Sydney, from
Victoria, to fill up with fire
retardant I think there are
plenty of questions to ask
the experts, about what the
hell are they doing, or more
pertinently not doing, about
water supply?
The GOR has oodles of water and the ocean is the closest water available.
I have often wondered why
plentiful available seawater,
has not been used to fight
the GOR fires.

Funding teeters for
Disability Respite Service
By Kate Taylor
Formal advice will now be sought
over whether or not council will be
able to continue providing muchneeded respite services to Moorabool families.
The matter was raised at a special
meeting of council that had been
convened to hear matters around
the proposed rate cap increase, on
Wednesday 10 February.
Council currently provides recreational and respite programs to the
families of people living with a disability, with funding from the Department of Health and Human Services
- but a report tabled at the meeting
raised concerns about reports that
funding for local government respite
activities may cease as of June 2016,
in the lead-up to the introduction
of the National Disability Insurance
Scheme across Victoria.
Formal advice on the funding arrangements for the Disability Respite Program post 30 June 2016 has
been sought through meetings and
in writing with Departmental Representatives and as well as questioning
the need to undertake accreditation
against International standards (not
just DHHS) standards, the report
stated.
At this stage, no formal advice has

Scheme would be beyond

today; a 25-year project
simply doesnt cut enough

When you consider the
technology available today
and the depth of the debate
about renewable energy, its
a great insight into the political spin of our energy future.
Lets face it, it was in 1949
when the Snowy started and
completed in 1974, producing 67% of all renewable energy in Mainland Australia.
Today renewable energy
focusses on oversized windmills with generators and
solar panels on your roof!
The $820 million project is
the equivalent of around $7
billion in todays money, and
it was completed on time
and on budget; it provided
long-term employment, multi-cultural opportunity with
70% of the workforce coming
from 30 different Countries,
and a peoples asset that, for
the times, was considered
environmentally friendly.

Licence to mine in
Moorabool lodged
By Kate Taylor
A controversial coal mining exploration licence for
Bacchus Marsh is up for
renewal.
The project, headed by Exergen and Mantle Mining,
has so far established that
there is 1.2 billion tonnes of
brown coal under the town,
of similar or better quality
than that produced from the
Latrobe Valley.
The original drilling license expires in March, and
Mantle Mining has already
lodged an application to renew it but does not expect
an outcome for up to two
months.
Mantle Minings Exploration Manager for Coal, Mark
Maxwell, explained that
initial drilling results were
good its just that Mantle
Minings focus has been on
gold for the past two years,
following the downturn in
commodities prices.
We have done some drilling out there, a few years
ago, and we have more drilling to do, but we just havent
got around to doing that
yet, Mr Maxwell explained.

This was in line with a wider trend across the state with
a number of regional towns
recording significant rental
increases for larger homes.
Three-bedroom
homes
in Echuca were one of the
strongest performers with
the weekly median rent increasing 9.2 per cent over the
year to $328 - up from $300
per week in December 2014.
Strong rental growth for
three-bedroom homes was
also recorded in Geelong
West, where the weekly median rent rose 8.9 per cent
$235 a week.
State-wide the weekly median rent increased for both
one-bedroom units and
four-bedroom houses over
the year, up 6.2 per cent and
1.4 per cent respectively.
Rent for all other property
types remained stable.
Bendigo experienced the

Division 3 v Sebastopol
Ballans
chances
of
qualifying for the postseason
have increased in difficulty
after an upset 23-shot loss to
Sebastopol.
Fellow finals contender
Webbcona, captured enough
points in Round 17 to claim
fourth place and remain
eight-points clear of Ballan
leading into the last game of
the regular season.
Webbcona
only
needs
11-points in their encounter
with Sebastopol to clinch
the final playoff spot, while
Ballan will need to gain as
many points as possible
against the ladder leading
Ballarat Memorial Sports
victorious by 11-shots.
Coffey and Neville Smith
were the two rinks to suffer
defeat on the day, going
down by five and 30-shots
respectively.
Division 9 v Learmonth
Ballan has extended their
winning streak to three
games as they defeated
Learmonth by 11-shots.
The 76-65 win was enough
to ensure that Ballan will
face Victoria in the first
semi-final on 3 March.
Ballan needs to claim
only one-point in their
Round 18 encounter with
North Ballarat to clinch
the Division Nine minor
premiership.
Ballan
manager
Eddy
Pitcher
said
carrying
momentum into the postseason is vital.
The minor premiership is a
nice reward for a consistent
season, but we have our
sights set on a final home
and away game with North
Ballarat.
We will aim to use that
game to test out some
strategies and game plans
ahead of the double chance
semi-final, Pitcher said.
Alan Loves was the only
rink to secure a win on the
day with a 12-shot success,
while
Charlie
Farrugia
had a drawn game and
Paul McNaughton lost by
one-shot.
