Avenue facing another battle

The Bacchus Marsh RSL has taken on a new battleground, a
new fight, a new campaign.
Members are rallying against a proposal to have trucks
rumbling up and down the town’s iconic Avenue of Honour,
one every six minutes, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
The trucks would be carting contaminated spoil from the
West Gate Tunnel Project, as part of a proposal to store it at
the Maddingley Brown Coal property on the outskirts of
Bacchus Marsh.
But the President of the Bacchus Marsh branch of the
RSL, Cherison Lawton, said that members are against the
devastating effect that the trucks would have on the Avenue.
“We don’t want any trucks going down the Avenue of
Honour, simply put. It’s really going to affect the tree roots
and

t: Cross Roads Trading
We’ve got to preserve the original trees as long as we can.”
The Covid-19 pandemic will affect the ability of the members
to show their support for the Avenue and its trees and still,
they have considered a protest with members standing 1.5m
apart along the road.
“The RSL is a-political – we are doing this under the fact that
we’re protecting a memorial.
“We can’t lobby, but we’re for the avenue being protected.
That’s what we can all stand up for together. It has become
more than just a memorial, hasn’t it? It’s actually a memorial
to the trees themselves, the history of the trees, the
perseverance of the trees.”
There is another project, a ‘resting poppies memorial’,
planned for the entrance of the Avenue to commemorate
those service men and women who do not have trees planted
in their name.
“We wouldn’t be planning the resting poppies at the
the toxic soil disposal, after MBC asked Planning Minister
Richard Wynne to call-in the proposal.
Moorabool Shire Council Mayor David Edwards said the
Avenue of Honour is of enormous significance to the town,
region and Victoria, attracting many visitors to Bacchus
Marsh.
“I am asking that the RSL, Heritage Victoria and the
National Trust are consulted prior to any decision been made
to ensure the protection of the Avenue of Honour from truck
movements every six minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a
week,” Cr Edwards said.
“The Avenue of Honour was planted to commemorate locals
who volunteered to serve in WWI. As custodians, Council
must do everything we can to protect the amenity of this
very special place.”
The 281 elms that line the Bacchus Marsh Avenue of Honour
were recently collectively named Victorian Tree of the Year in

diesel fumes… it’s just not good, is it. I myself can’t see
any benefit to having that many trucks going through the
Avenue of Honour,” Ms Lawton told the Moorabool News.
“This is a centenary-standing memorial to the memories of
the World War I service men and women, so it’s got to be
protected. And it’s really identified with Bacchus Marsh,
you say ‘Avenue of Honour’ and people say ‘Bacchus Marsh.’
entrance if we were expecting the Avenue to be destroyed,
we’re planning for the continuance of the history and the
legacy for the next 100 years.”
The RSL is applying for a $300,000 grant for the memorial,
which is given through a state-government department.
The state government is funding the West Gate Tunnel
Project and is also ironically the authority set to decide on
an online vote organised by the National Trust of Australia
(Victoria).
The Avenue was originally planted in 1918 and forms
a magnificent entrance to Bacchus Marsh. The Heritage
Council of Victoria states that its unbroken cathedral-like
canopy makes it one of the most distinctive elm avenues in
Victoria.

What is fact,
By Helen Tatchell
what is fiction?
Council are saying they are ‘blocked from
consulting with the community’, but the
other side of the coin seems to have a reason
for doing so.
Tenders have closed however the process is
still underway, and MBC said no contracts
have yet been awarded.
Local business Maddingley Brown Coal,
has submitted their tender application to
the State Government to receive, store and
dispose of soil from the West Gate Tunnel
Project at their site.
On Friday 22 May the State Government
gave Council access to some technical
reports and stipulated they had 21-days to
respond to the contents of the reports.
In a media release sent out last Friday
by Moorabool Shire Council CEO Derek
Madden, stated Council wants to make this
material public and has asked both the State
Government and lawyers for the proponent
to make this happen or to allow Council to
make it happen for, by example, putting the
reports on the Shire website.
According to Council, both courses of action
have been refused
POLICE ROUNDS
Several cars were broken into in the Yendon,
Wallace, and Gordon areas between the late
hours of Friday May 15 and early hours of
Saturday May 16.
Police said the unknown offenders
“rummaged through the vehicles but
nothing was stolen [out of them].”
The cars were alleged to have been unlocked.
A vehicle was also stolen from the Gordon
area.
Moorabool police are urging all members
of the community to ensure that they lock
their vehicles, no matter how secluded they
believe their residence is.
“Offenders are prepared to travel through
remote locations and tamper with car
doors to check if they are locked,” police
said. “Despite being under restrictions due
to COVID19, this is not a time to become
complacent.”

“The role of a Council under the Local
Government Act is to provide good
governance in its municipal district for
the benefit and wellbeing of the municipal
community. Council has to engage with
its community in a transparent way,” Mr
Madden said.
“In this situation, we have been hindered so
badly, that we cannot do our job properly.”
A Government spokesperson told the
Moorabool News the Planning Minister’s
decision to consult further with council will
“assist in their review of the proposal.”
“The Government has been advised the
technical reports include commercially
sensitive information which should not be
made public.”
When the Moorabool News contacted
Maddingley Brown Coal, a spokesperson
said MBC welcomes the Minister’s decision
to consult with Council.
“Consultation with Council and others
in planning matters such as this is at the
discretion of the Minister,” they said.
And why can’t the documents sent to
Council be made public?

Moorabool’s own Mt Everest
By Helen Tatchell
One foot in front of the other more
than 1000 times over, will put Bald
Hill in Darley on the tourist map,
and fitness circuit.
Currently the Kokoda Track
Memorial Walk in the Dandenong
Ranges National Park, has the 1000
Steps Walk and is an institution for
fitness enthusiasts who navigate the
3-kilometre trek. Bayview Park in
Narre Warren north went one better
with 1001 steps however, Moorabool
takes the cake.
Moorabool Shire Council have
committed to a minimum of 1000
steps for the project with the incline
varied to a range from a gentle
incline at the base, to a steeper climb
further up the slope.
Bald Hill is an area that was known
more for the illegal dumping of
rubbish however, it will now become
a regional recreation experience
catering for a growing population of
Bacchus Marsh.
To help with the $860,000 cost, the
state government has put their hand
in their pocket.
Member for Melton, Steve McGhie
announced $500,000 from the
Regional Infrastructure Fund,
toward the project.
“I congratulate the Moorabool
Shire Council on this initiative and
see this as a great opportunity for
our local community to experience
new sporting and recreational
infrastructure, that supports local
growth and jobs. “
The idea for the rejuvenation of
the arid landscape was put forward
by Cr Jarrod Bingham at a Council
meeting in 2019.
“Bald Hill cannot be developed
residentially; it was a bit of an
eyesore and I wanted to explore
options to beautify the area,” he
said.
“The actual steps idea came up

will be built in stages.”
Cr Bingham said exploring ideas
are endless and additions to the
project could include walking tracks
and an indigenous interpretation
trail.
“Possibility later down the track a
café could benefit the area,” he said.
A council spokesperson told the

package.
“The full scope will become clearer
as the design process progresses,”
they said.
Design will occur in the 2020-2021
financial year with construction to
occur the following financial year.
Moorabool Mayor David Edwards
said Council is delighted the funds
for this project have come through.
“Council staff have put in a lot of
work to come up with this concept
and we’ll use the existing walking

visitors,” he said.
Cr Edwards said Council will
consult with local landowners
the wider community and key
stakeholders.
“… and from that, we’ll have an idea
of what’s possible and what people
would like to see in the space.
“We’re very excited about
transforming Bald Hill into an
attractive tourist destination and
we thank RDV for kickstarting the
project.”
Council will look at how it can
integrate the trail with Telford Park/
Darley Civic Hub, and the entrance
confirmed during the design phase.
Currently the existing path starts
from Ramsay Crescent.
The 1000+ Steps Project on Bald
Hill has an estimated Stage 1 cost of
$860k for design and construction;

Council request opinions

By Kate Taylor
The penny has dropped at
Moorabool Shire Council – but
two councillors made big dives
to try to catch it before it fell.
West Ward Councillor Tom Sul-
livan and Central Ward Coun-
cillor Paul Tatchell both voted
against releasing council’s draft
budget for public consultation,
at a special meeting of council
held on Wednesday 20 may, each
for very different reasons.
Councillor Sullivan objected
because at the ordinary council
meeting, he had asked that the
budget be deferred so that offic-
ers could prepare a draft budget
demic, then council should have
to as well.
“I think we should hibernate
the rates for this year,” Cr Sul-
livan said.
However, most of his fellow
councillors did not agree.
“It is not making a final deci-
sion, it is giving the community
the opportunity to comment
on the budget and what is pro-
posed,” Cr Dudzik argued.
Cr Lawry Borgelt agreed, with
Cr John Keogh also arguing in
favour of putting the budget out
and Cr Jarrod Bingham argued
that any rate rises put off now
would have to be made up in
Cr Tatchell voted against the
motion, saying he was con-
cerned that not enough infor-
mation was going out to the
public about the complexity of
the financial situation to allow
ratepayers to be well-informed
enough to make a decision yet.
The proposed budget includes
a two per cent rise in line with
CPI, in accordance with the
state government’s rate-capping
policy – however some residents
may have an additional increase
due to property revaluations
which occur every 12-months.

“What we have here tonight
does not reflect what was asked
for at the May 6 meeting,” Cr
Sullivan said.
“This is basically a perpetu-
ation of what we had then,
what was before us, with
some add-ons.”
Council CEO Derek Mad-
den replied, saying that a
presentation had already
been made to councillors
about a zero per cent rates
rise and that councillors
could change the recom-
mendation to put the draft
budget out if they wished.
Cr Sullivan asked ‘what is
the value of a council resolu-
tion if council officers can…’
however he was cut off by
Mayor Dave Edwards before
finishing his question.
“It’s been answered,” Cr Ed-
wards said, to which Cr Sul-
livan said, “I don’t believe it
has, not to my satisfaction.”
When the motion to put the
budget out for consultation
went to a vote, Cr Sullivan
argued that if the people of

Bacchus Marsh are bidding farewell a store
that has been around for over 20 years’ and
rumours have begun circulating that it could
be transformed into something new, but
what?
With some Target stores due to close early
to mid-2021, people have raised the question
of what could take its place in The Village
Bacchus Marsh.
A post on a Facebook page had people
guessing the new store potential, one person
said that the town could do with another nail
salon.
A spokesperson for the Village Bacchus
Marsh told the Moorabool News that the
closure of the Target Country store came as
no surprise.
“We are certainly disappointed with
Target’s departure from the Centre, and feel
for its employees, but the retailer has been
struggling for a number of years.
“For the first time in over 15 years, the

that won’t be changed into a Kmart franchise.
A spokesperson for Target told the
Moorabool News that all employees were
offered jobs in other establishments under
the business’ umbrella, and that the closure
was to focus on a stronger online business.
“During this difficult time, we are
committed to supporting our team,” the
spokesperson said.
“Across the Kmart Group we have made
a significant effort to avoid store closures
and retain our people, and for impacted
store team members, we have the benefit of
time to help find alternative employment
opportunities.
“We believe that Target has a future as a
leading retailer in Australia and we know it
is loved by so many,” the spokesperson said.
“A number of actions are required to
ensure it is fit for purpose in a competitive,
challenging and dynamic market, including
a smaller number of stores and a stronger
online business.”

Welcome mat out for Craven

By Tim O’Connor

Talented trotting filly Pink Galas

helped mark her trainer/driver’s long-
awaited return to Saturday night racing
at Tabcorp Park Melton across the
weekend.
Matt Craven has been one of the
notable absentees from Victorian
harness racing headquarters since the
region-based model was introduced
due to COVID-19 and opened the
night’s seven-race card with an
explosive victory behind the three-
year-old squaregaiter.
The win in the DNR Logistics Trot
(1720m, NR 61-74) made it two on end
this preparation for the daughter of
Skyvalley, which won at Stawell on
resumption earlier this month.
Pink Galahs’ co-owner Caleb Lewis is
married to Laura (nee Healy), who is the
daughter of Bryan and granddaughter
of Ric. The Healy family bred Maori
Miss, the mare who instigated arguably
Australia’s most famous trotting
breeding line which includes the famed
Maori’s Idol but also Maori Mia, the
great-great granddam of Pink Galahs.
“Bryan Healy, who is famous with all
the Maori horses, it’s great that he’s
been able to come in on the ownership
and he’s always looking forward to an
update as to how she’s going,” Craven
said.
“Early days when we first produced
her, he just loved her. It’s great to have
him on board and involved in the
journey. Caleb and Laura are huge
supporters of mine.”
Craven, who is based near Terang, said
it was great to be back racing at Melton
after such a long period away from the
state’s premier circuit.
“It’s good to see a few faces you haven’t

seen for a while and catch up,” he said.
“It’s our headquarters and this is
where we strive to be. Although we are
not technically here at a metro meeting,
it’s Melton on a Saturday night, and
going forward it will be good to get
back to metro racing. I’m excited about
what the summer is going to hold for
harness racing.
“It’s been an unfortunate time, but it
could even be a blessing in disguise
with a lot of our really good races being
pushed back.”
Pink Galahs has now won six of 11
starts and secured more than $40,000 in
prizemoney for connections.
Craven has been the talk of the
industry during the lockdown period
for some of the drone vision that he’s
been producing for owners.
“We’ve been putting a little bit up on
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter,”
Craven said.
“For the owners to see actually what
their horses are doing and when they
are working in a bunch, working up
and down the track or swimming in
the pool... it gives them a highlight and
it actually helps them be involved with
what their horses are doing from day to
day.”
Horses from the former “West” region
of the state won the first three races on
Saturday night’s card before those from
the old “Inner West” area claimed the
remaining four. Saturday night was the
first meeting at Melton since the sport
moved to the three-region model across
Victoria.
Racing returns to Melton on Monday
for an eight-event card, starting from
1.42pm.
