EPA fires up legal action By Matthew Sims The Environment Protection Authority [EPA] Victoria has extended the supension of Barro Group’s operating licence until January 31, 2023, and is finalising the next steps in legal action against it to expedite extinguishing the final underground hotspot fire at Kealba Landfill. In a statement, the EPA said while Barro has indicated it plans to complete the remediation work before Christmas this year, the authority’s environmental crime investigators and legal team are looking at their options. “EPA continues to hold Barro Group to account and is using all available legal avenues to ensure the best outcome,” the spokesperson said. “This could include prosecution, licence cancellation and fines.”

have also launched an online petition calling for immediate action to fully extinguish the fires, with the petition attracting more than 840 signatures at the time of publication. St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman said she understands the community’s disappointment, as she is a Kealba resident herself.
“We are frustrated and angry,” she said. “We want to see an end to the Kealba landfill. “ It should have never been approved.” Ms Suleyman said she has been engaging with Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio and the EPA for a number of years, including prompting

the EPA to conduct and release a report on the regulation of the site and measures to prevent similar issues occurring in the future. The next community meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 4 at Kealba Hall from 4pm to 7pm, with future community sessions scheduled for Tuesday, November 8 and Tuesday, December 6.

As previously reported by Star Weekly, Barro Group had previously set a deadline of August 22 to extinguish the fires, which has now passed. Barro Group then requested the deadline be extended to February 17, 2023, but the EPA rejected the request. Consisting of more than 180 residents of Kealba, St Albans and surrounding suburbs, the Action Against Barro Landfill group has penned an open letter to St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman to express their “ongoing anguish and disappointment about the continuing neglect of our community”. Action Against Barro Landfill representative Marian Pham said more needed to be done immediately. “We’ve been really disappointed at the lack of action from Natalie Suleyman and the EPA,” she said. “We’ve been trying to hold them to account. “We just need them to follow through.” Ms Pham said the group had also reached out to Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio to take action on the issue. “We’ve been left to our own devices,” she said. “We’re at our wits’ end.” The Action Against Barro Landfill group

Home handyman denies killing By Karen Sweeney, AAP
Sunshine Leisure Centre lifeguard Denzel Pieterse received a Everyday Lifesaver award for rescuing a toddler in early August. (Damjan Janevski) 301025_01
Swift act saves toddler The quick thinking of Sunshine Leisure Centre lifeguard Denzel Pieterse saved a toddler’s life earlier this year. On a busy swim school night in early August, the 21-year-old was on duty and kept a close eye on a enthusiastic toddler who jumped into the deep end. “As soon as he entered the water I knew he was in trouble,” he said. “His arms were reaching up to the surface of the water, but his body was sinking toward the bottom, quickly.” Mr Pieterse said he quickly acted to pull the boy out of the water. “Luckily he wasn’t too far out, so I was able to reach him, I bent down onto my knees to reach for his wrist to pull him out,” he said.
“Any longer, and things may have turned out differently. “Even through the boy’s mother was watching on, this situation showed just how quickly little ones can get away from you, particularly when they’re in an exciting aquatic environment.” Life Saving Victoria presented Mr Pieterse with an Everyday Lifesaver award on Wednesday, September 28. Sunshine Leisure Centre facility operations supervisor said he was proud of Mr Pieterse’s quick response to the incident. “It was amazing to see how proactive Denzel was, it’s great to see all the training we do come together,” he said.

“She seemed like a very lovely lady, she didn’t deserve this at all.” That’s what accused killer Stuart Paul Anderson told a reporter about the woman he’s accused of brutally beating to death. There was a widespread appeal for information in the days and weeks after the body of his 77-year-old neighbour Vicki Ramadan was found in her Sydenham home in Melbourne’s northwest on April 6, 2019. “I really hope the cops catch the son of a bitch,” Anderson said in the interview with A Current Affair. The unedited footage of that interview was played to jurors in Anderson’s Victorian Supreme Court murder trial on Tuesday. He has pleaded not guilty to killing Mrs Ramadan sometime between March 23 and 25, 2019. Witnesses say they saw him in a screaming argument with her in the days before she was killed. He was the one who found her body in the hallway of her home. Anderson claimed he first met Mrs Ramadan when she knocked on his door and asked him to help her with some odd jobs. On the morning of March 23, 2019 a taxi driver saw Mrs Ramadan and Anderson arguing about him arriving late to help her with some work. Mrs Ramadan later apologised to Anderson who went to her house in the afternoon to assemble a flat pack.
About 3.30pm a witness heard Anderson aggressively yelling at Mrs Ramadan, telling her “f*** you, fix it yourself”. He left and arrived home “scary” angry, a woman living with him said. At 6pm Anderson was back working at Mrs Ramadan’s. Prosecutor Neill Hutton said there were signs of life on March 25 - a call from one of her phones to another at 9.30am and an electricity spike consistent with a hotplate at lunchtime. And then nothing. Anderson told his partner at about 9am on April 6 that he was going to check on Mrs Ramadan and pick up tools he left at her house. That’s when he first says he found the body, after walking through a back door that had been kicked in. He called out to his partner and together they called triple zero, the jury heard. Anderson stuck with that story during his first two police interviews but after officers became suspicious about his story he told them in August 2019 that he had lied because he actually found her body between 1.30am and 2am on April 6 after he himself knocked in her back door. But the trouble with what Anderson told the reporter, his partner and police is that it’s false, prosecutor Neill Hutton said. “It’s essentially a sham, a charade. It’s false,” he said. Anderson’s barrister Glenn Casement said identity was an issue in the trial. “My client didn’t kill the deceased,” he said. The trial before Justice Amanda Fox is continuing.

Top award for late starter Recent years have been a whirlwind for 34-old-year old St Albans trailblazer Chhunly Taing. She started working in building in her late twenties, only began a trade four years ago and was named Victorian Apprentice of the Year on September 13. Ms Taing said she was “ecstatic” about winning. “I started in the construction industry late,” she said. “I was offered an apprenticeship. “Age wasn’t ever a factor.” Ms Taing, who worked jobs including vegetable picking and retail before building, said she “felt at home” in the construction industry. “I’ve found my calling,” she said. Ms Taing encouraged other women to follow her. “Give it a go,” she said. “Just go for it. There are heaps of girls in the industry … willing to help other women out.”
She said there were also many men in the industry with daughters and they understood the importance of having women in trades. Ms Taing said her rise in the construction industry started when she was working as a cleaner on the tunnel project and her male boss said she should aim higher. The company then offered her an apprenticeship. Ms Taing is now a leading hand at the Tunnel project in charge of 30 workers, all but three of whom are men. Having completed Holmesglen Institute’s certificate III in civil construction last year, she is now doing her certificate IV. Ms Taing beat another woman and a man to win apprentice of the year at the 68th Victorian Training Awards. The Australian Apprentice of the Year will be announced on November 18.

Melton joins push for Calder rail By Matthew Sims Melton council has joined Brimbank council in calling for all major parties in the upcoming state election to commit to a new rail station at Calder Park. As previously reported by Star Weekly, former Brimbank mayor Ranka Rasic raised a notice of motion at a council meeting last August, calling for the council to write to the state government to advocate for the construction of a new station at Calder Park,
including the provision of parking facilities. On top of building a new train station at Calder Park, Melton council has also advocated for an overhaul of the Calder Park Drive corridor between the Calder Freeway and the Melton Highway, replacing the current dangerous intersection with a full diamond interchange and duplicating the lanes. The state government has committed to a business case to upgrade the Calder Park Drive and Calder Freeway interchange and has started work on removing the level crossing on
Calder Park Drive. Melton mayor Goran Kesic said a fully integrated transport approach would relieve congestion at the nearby Watergardens station and car park. “Our rapid population growth will continue to put stress on our already congested roads and the overcrowded Watergardens station,“ he said. “By including a new station as part of the Level Crossing Removal project, there would be major cost savings and delivery of an integrated approach to transport infrastructure.
Cr Kesic said it would make sense to deliver all works at the same time as the level crossing removal. “There is no benefit to the community to draw out the disruption from the partial closure of Calder Park Drive,“ he said. “Let’s get it done right.“ According to Melton council modelling, there would be more than 34,000 cars passing through the Calder Park Drive corridor by 2031 and 150,000 people living near Calder Park by 2051.
Back stronger from grief Footscray songwriter and poet Gabriela Georges is bringing a deeply personal look at how the grief she experienced following the death of her mother shaped her relationships and life to the Bowery Theatre in St Albans. As part of this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival, her show ’Rise & Fall’ is coming to the St Albans Community Centre for one night only on Thursday, October 6 from 7.30pm. Ms Georges said she has been developing the show since 2017. “It’s about how grief and relationships change over time,“ she said. “It doesn’t necessarily follow linear time.“ Ms Georges said the performance will incorporate her music and poetry, as well as materials from her mother’s clothing. “It’s a very intimate show,“ she said. “It’s kind of personal and universal at the same time. “Everyone, eventually, will deal with grief and loss.“
Ms Georges said the show looks at how she dealt with her mother’s metastatic duodenal cancer diagnosis and death within a few months, when she was only 20 at the time. “I think, at that age, I didn’t expect that to happen,“ she said. The work will complement Ms Georges’ work within The Grief Cocoon initiative, which hosts events and workshops to help people through their journeys with grief and loss. Brimbank City Council and the Sidney Myer Fund is supporting the development and performance of ’Rise and Fall’.

Rough hours spent on the road Melton residents have been writing into the Fix Our Road campaign to share stories about hours spent commuting and stuck in traffic – and the impact this has on their lives. The lack of local jobs and irregular crowded public transport and the poor standard of highways across the municipality mean locals are commuting long hours. Poor transport options have led to high car dependency with 85 per cent of weekday trips and 93 per cent of weekend trips being made by car. New research from Melton council has revealed that Melton residents take over
60,000 car trips a day just to get to work, and almost all of these are by car. Melton resident Stephanie Thorpe said, “how do you have time to lead a life when
you’re stuck in a car 20 hours a week just to get to work. “That’s 20 hours of missed time with kids, missed socialising, missed unwinding. How do you get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour or make sure the kids are picked up from childcare at a reasonable hour?” Another long-time Melton local, Kerrie-Ann Hovey has lived in Melton for nearly 40 years. “My husband’s drive to work would take 30 minutes. Now he leaves at 5am to avoid the traffic jam but can’t avoid it on his way home. He spends over an hour in traffic every afternoon.”
Melton mayor Goran Kesic said that residents are facing long commutes, less time spent with families and driving on roads that are in urgent need of being upgraded. “The longer we spend in the car going to work and back every day is time away from our families, our friends, and away from doing the things we enjoy the most,” he said. “We launched Fix Our Roads earlier this year calling on all major parties and candidates to commit to upgrading these key roads. We just want our residents to have the quality of life others around our city get.” Details: fixourroads.com.au.
Get your cats desexed Western suburbs cat owners are being encouraged to desex their cats to help reduce an ongoing problem in Melbourne’s west. The not-for-profit Westside Community Desexing Inc in Sunshine opened in November with the aim of providing low cost desexing to help with a growing issue of cats not being desexed. Many end up in the pound or shelters, with tens of thousands of cats being put down each year. Veterinary nurse Livana Raczynski said the clinic had desexed 1500 cats since it opened in November last year and expected the number of cats to increase further in the west. “Because they can breed quickly,” she said. “They are companion animals and they should be safely indoors, especially if they are not desexed.” Ms Raczynski said the clinic worked with animal rescue groups and councils. The clinic
has formed a partnership with one council and is hoping to set up more with other councils. Dr Ann Enright said when they were setting up the clinic, that many people can’t afford to desex their cats. Ms Raczynski said the clinic also provided education on cat care to pet owners. The $150 offer is ongoing and in partnership with Melton council. Residents need to provide proof of their address to access the offer. Details: www.westsidedesexing.org.au or 9364 8742. Dora Houpis

AkzoNobel responds to stink By Liam McNally AkzoNobel hosted a community open day to allow residents to see the manufacturing plant and address pollution concerns. Star Weekly has previously reported that residents living near the paint and resin manufacturer were affected by foul odour and loud noises, which led to notices against the company from the EPA. Craig Whittaker, site manager at AkzoNobel Sunshine Factory, said the company had put measures in place to address residents’ complaints. “We recognise that we’ve got a social responsibility and also a sustainable responsibility. We want transparency and to show our commitment to the community in regards to these key issues,” he said. He said noise pollution was identified to be coming from three powder plant fans. The fans have been relocated, and newer, quieter fans have also been ordered, with the last replacement due in January. A boundary wall to prevent low level noise is also awaiting council approval. When it comes to odour, the main culprit for the “sickly sweet” chemical smell was identified to be from volatile organic compounds emerging from the resin plant, according to Mr Whittaker. Mr Whittaker assured residents that these compounds are not dangerous to health. Akzonobel installed an RTO thermal oxidising unit to burn the compounds which it says has been successful. Another source of odour was found to be from the paint plant. AkzoNobel has installed carbon filters, and is improving chimney stacks. By next year Mr Whittaker said fumes will be directed through the RTO. Mr Whittaker encouraged anyone affected by pollution from the factory in the future to notify the company via an online form.

Sirens sound on GF weekend More than 7000 offences were detected by Victoria Police during Operation Scoreboard over the AFL Grand Final long weekend, including 63 in Brimbank alone. The most common Brimbank offences were for speeding and unlicensed drivers, with 13 and eight offences recorded respectively. The operation recorded five drink driving and six drug driving offences in Melton. The five-day statewide road policing operation saw police targeting high-risk driving behaviour, with a particular focus on speeding, impaired driving and distraction. Police also increased their focus on motorcycle safety during the operation following a recent spike in motorcycle trauma, with 238 motorcycle offences detected. Statewide, 224 drink driving offences were recorded from 119,953 preliminary breath tests, and 212 drug driving offences from 3,615

roadside drug tests. Almost 40 per cent of all offences recorded statewide were for speeding. Victoria Police road policing Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir said close to 500 drivers were detected for driving whilst unlicensed, disqualified or suspended. “This blatant disregard for the rules will not be tolerated, and police will continue to utilise ANPR technology to detect and remove unauthorised drivers from the roads,” he said. Three lives were lost on Victorian roads during the long weekend operation, with a motorist struck and killed whilst changing a car tyre in Deer Park on Wednesday, September 21. The total number of lives lost on Victorian roads this year is 186, which is 26 higher than last year and well above the five-year average of 169. “Now is not the time to be complacent,” Assistant Commissioner Weir said. “We’re experiencing high levels of road trauma not seen since well before the pandemic. “Police will continue to be on high alert for motorists engaging in risk-taking behaviour that puts other road users in danger.” Operation Scoreboard ran from 12.01am on Wednesday, September 21 to 11.59pm on Sunday, September 25.

Tachos to stand for St Albans Brimbank councillor Virginia Tachos is the latest person to signal they will stand for the seat of St Albans at the November state election. Cr Tachos had previously announced that she was going to stand for the upper house as an independent, but has since decided to make a run at the lower house. Among the other candidates is current Labor MP Natalie Suleyman and fellow Brimbank councillor Maria Kerr, who is the liberal candidate. Cr Tachos said she thought she could better help the needs of the local community in
the lower house. “A lot of people have said to me that I should run for the seat of St Albans,” she said. “So I’ve decided to focus on that area and look to represent the local residents.” Cr Tachos, who lives in the electorate, said many residents felt that they were forgotten about and that nothing changes. “There’s a lot of challenges in the area and it’s about finding solutions to these challenges,” she said. “I don’t feel like the current government is listening to the community.” Cr Tachos said some of the main issues she
would be focusing on, include the ongoing underground hot spot fires at the Kealba Landfill, gambling reforms and youth unemployment. She said Brimbank continues to have the highest gambling losses and something needed to change. “It’s a health issue and the income that is leaving the community is a large amount,” she said. “It continues to have social harms.” Cr Tachos is also calling for a taskforce to help deal with the fires at the Kealba Landfill which have burned for for nearly three years.

Girls bowl with the best Australian star Georgia Wareham made an appearance at Sydenham-Hillside Cricket Club to help inspire the next generation of female cricketers. The international player visited the club on Wednesday, September 28, where she shared stories about growing up in country Victoria, hanging around the cricket club with her dad and having to mix in with the boys, before all-girl teams were available. The event had to persevere through bad weather, with a meet and greet and indoor games replacing the masterclass and clinic originally planned. Sydenham-Hillside vice-president Warren Hackney said despite the weather, they were still able to made a good day of it. “Everyone loved having an international player up close and personal, it was a fantastic experience for all of them,“ he said. Hackney said Sydenham-Hillside has been
growing their women’s program over the last few years and wants to continue along those lines. “We’d love to see more and more girls get involved, it doesn’t matter what level of ability you’re at, everyone starts from somewhere, it’s just about getting involved and learning and improving,” he said. Hackney said there is still time for people to get involved in time for the summer season through either Sydenham-Hillside directly or the Play Cricket website.

Volunteers fear for the future Volunteers across the state are feeling the heavy strain of increasing service demands and the burgeoning cost of living, and some fear they will soon be forced to give up dedicating their time for financial security, as Fatima Halloum learns.
“Y
ou wouldn’t hit someone’s pet dog while you’re driving and keep going, would you?” It’s a rhetorical question asked by Sue Anderson, a Wildlife Victoria volunteer for more than 22 years. Part of Ms Anderson’s role in the organisation involves responding to call outs relating to hurt or distressed animals, like a displaced kangaroo in suburbia or ones that have been injured by being hit by a vehicle. “A lot of people don’t even bother ringing, they’ll hit them and they leave them, [but] If they saw what I saw, they wouldn’t do that,” Ms Anderson said. “If a vehicle hits them in the face or smashes their jaw, the poor things will starve to death slowly. As they get sicker and weaker I have even seen the foxes starting to eat them alive. “[If] they break their legs, the bones are often protruding or the injury might swell up with infection to double the size and eventually go black and get covered with maggots.” Often joeys are left alive in the pouches of the females and will die from hypothermia if not found in time.
‘‘
It’s almost become a full-time thing because of … the number of rescues we’re getting lately
’’
- Trevor Crawford The Wildlife Emergency Response Line is a free service offered to all Victorians, and volunteers are on call each day, seven days a week. As we move into the busy spring-summer period, the organisation is expecting to receive about 300 calls a day, placing additional strain on an already fragile service. “There’s more people, they’re expecting more from us … there’s not enough [volunteers], because most people have to go to work to survive and pay their bills,” Ms Anderson said. Ms Anderson works with many volunteers across the state, including Trevor Crawford, who says he joined Wildlife Victoria because he loves animals. “I find that it gives me direction and a purpose to be out there helping,” he said. “It tends to take up your entire day most days, but unfortunately that also means no time to work, so you have zero money coming in and no financial support to do these rescues.” Mr Crawford also runs his own security company which he often takes a backseat to his animal rescuing. “It’s almost become a full-time thing because of … the number of rescues we’re getting lately,” he said. “I get calls all the way to Daylesford, through the outskirts of Ballarat, the outskirts of Geelong and Melbourne’s western suburbs.” Altercations with native wildlife was once reserved for dusty gravel roads deep in the Australian outback, but as housing development pushes further into animals’ habitats, their contact with humans is becoming more regular. “Talking to rescuers who have done this for 20-plus years, they all are saying that rescues have never ever been anything close to this busy before,” Mr Crawford said. “We have such unique native animals … people travel from all over the world to see them and yet we look at them as if they’re a pest. “But also they’re suffering, they’re … lovely to be around … and to leave them on the side of the road with their legs smashed to bits, dying slowly over days or weeks, nobody would want that for their family pet.” Mr Crawford believes the volunteers’ work is essential, but says it’s unfortunate their work is unrecognised.

“The people that take the calls and send the people out is funded by donations, but rescuers aren’t [paid],” he said. “The problem is the only people that are able to [volunteer] are people who have that financial backing behind them already, or people that are retired, so they’re not going to be rescuing for very long anyway.” Younger volunteers tend to rescue until they run out of money, Mr Crawford says, and with inflation affecting food, gas and mortgage, many volunteers are already struggling. “It’s not sustainable for us … I think at a bare minimum costs need to be covered, you’re at least breaking even, then you’re not chewing into your savings,” he said. A spokesperson for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning said the department believes the work that wildlife shelters and foster carers do is “critically important to help rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife”. “To give them a hand helping, the Victorian government is providing $230,000 to support wildlife rehabilitators in Victoria as part of the Wildlife Rehabilitator Grants program,” the spokesperson said. “Wildlife shelter operators and foster carers can apply for grants of up to $3000 for equipment, infrastructure, consumables, education and training.” Currently, the organisation relies on funding from, businesses, philanthropic trusts and foundations, bequests, project grants and the kindness of individual donors. There are non-monetary ways people can help too. If you witness an animal in anguish, there are
a few ways to make the rescue process easier for volunteers. “We can search for hours and hours and not find the animal because it’s lying in the grass,” Mr Crawford said. “If you see an animal, stop, mark your location [by] getting a pin drop on google maps or tying something to a tree ... and then call Wildlife Victoria, it makes it a hell of a lot easier for us.” Details: 8400 7300.
The volunteers say many rescues take place in areas with high development.

COMMENT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
Mirrors reflect wild world at zoo The animals at Werribee Open Range Zoo are being introduced to their own reflection this month, with one important purpose – to stimulate their natural wild behaviours. The thought-provoking activity, that involves zookeepers placing mirrors in animal habitats, is part of the Zoo’s multifaceted approach to provide the highest quality welfare for the animals in its care. Werribee Open Range Zoo Australian natives coordinator, Jacinda Goodwin said mirrors have been introduced to Koalas, Orange-bellied parrots, Vervet monkeys, Slender tailed meerkats and Leopard tortoises to challenge their critical thinking and encourage beneficial social interactions. “In the wild, animals would come across their own reflections when looking into a large body of water, so the mirrors are one of the methods we can use to replicate that experience at the zoo,” Ms Goodwin said. “There are some species, such as the Vervet monkeys, that have the cognitive ability to look in the mirror and recognise their own reflection. “This can be a great challenge for the monkeys; they don’t automatically recognise their reflection as themselves. Like a good brain teaser, we observe them investing considerable time into trying to work out who the other monkey is. “Other animals, like Koalas and Orange-bellied parrots, may perceive their reflection as another member of their species, so

the reflections can stimulate social behaviours, such as investigation, vocalising or flocking. “For other species, we may see a territorial response to perceiving another animal in their habitat through their reflection. This is a natural behaviour that they would exhibit in the wild when territories overlap, and in some social species, who live in mobs or packs, these experiences can encourage valuable group cohesion behaviours.”
Every animal in the care of Zoos Victoria’s three properties is given the opportunity to learn and encounter new challenges with a variety of enriching experiences offered daily. Zoos Victoria animal behaviour specialist, Sue Jaensch said each experience is carefully and strategically designed, taking into account variables such as species, personality and age, to ensure it is engaging for its recipients. “Zookeepers make sure that the animals
have the choice to participate and monitor their reaction, adjusting the activity for the individual if they need to,” Ms Jaensch said. “They use their knowledge of species and the individuals they work with to continually enhance the lives of the animals in their care.” Zoos Victoria members and Werribee Open Range Zoo visitors are reminded that all tickets must be pre-booked online.

Independent retirement with Centennial Living Centennial Living is a company that prides itself on generating a relaxed friendly atmosphere in its villages, where residents feel welcome and have a sense of belonging to a community. The benefits of social connection and friendship, stimulating activities in a range of amenities, a safe environment and the feeling of support being there when needed has made Centennial’s villages happy places in which to live. Centennial Living Keilor offers two levels of accommodation – independent living and serviced apartments. Whilst maintenance and gardening is provided in the village, people who choose independent living reside in their own home and have the freedom to take care of meals, cleaning, laundry, and other household tasks how they wish. When people may need more help, serviced apartments can be a good choice. Daily meals are served in the dining room or delivered to the apartment and weekly cleaning and heavy laundry is provided for serviced apartment residents. Other in-home care services can also be arranged to suit individual requirements. Both styles of accommodation are fitted with emergency call systems. While the seven Centennial villages in Victoria vary in some aspects, recreational facilities include indoor heated swimming pools, barbecue areas, a community centre and lounge, hobby garden, games room, arts and crafts, senior’s gym, bowling green, indoor bowls, men’s shed, aqua aerobics and a hair and beauty salon. Pets are also welcome.
The resort-style living is ideal for people who want to downsize from the family home and have a lifestyle that offers social connection and absolute independence. Inez, who has asked to have her surname omitted from publication, has been living in the Keilor village for eight years. She says that she really enjoys village life, and that the activities are very popular at Keilor but with no pressure to participate. “You’ve always got support. You’ve always got someone here,” Inez says. “You can do as much or as little as you want. There’s so much offering at the village, you’ve just got to tap into it and most people do.” Like all Centennial Living villages, the Keilor village is close to shops, amenities, and recreation in the wider community. It is particularly close to health care – there’s a medical consultation suite near the entrance of the village. For more information, visit www.centennialliving.com.au.

Hyundai moves people in style
There’s nothing subtle about the styling of the Hyundai Palisade large SUV / people mover. (Pictures: Supplied)
By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Hyundai Palisade is a large Korean-built SUV, or people mover to use the older definition for a vehicle in this class. It has received major upgrades as well as substantial styling changes for the 2023 model year, so it’s worth us taking a look at it again with a full road test. A major feature in the Palisade is the Hyundai Bluelink system that can be connected to the from anywhere via a smartphone. Owners can send planned routes and receive emergency assistance automatically after an accident. They can even remotely lock or start their car with their preferred climate settings, therefore have their Palisade sitting waiting for them all warmed up and ready to go.
AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Palisade Elite 3.8-litre petrol 2WD: $65,900 Palisade Highlander 3.8-litre petrol 2WD: $75,900 Palisade Elite 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $69,900 Palisade Highlander 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $79,900 SPECIFICATIONS Hyundai Palisade Highlander 2.2-litre diesel AWD
Styling Palisade is a large vehicle with styling that is in the look-at-me class – nothing subtle here. Styling changes for 2023 include a parametric shield grille design flanked by vertically stacked LED headlights. The Highlander variant we reviewed has exclusive design touches, including a satin chrome finish to the grille with matching logo badge and skid plate finishes. There are hidden-type turn signals, body-coloured cladding and exclusive 20-inch wheels with a 15-spoke turbine design.
Interior Hyundai Palisade can be optioned with either a seven-seat or eight-seat layout, the former offering two individual captain-type chairs in the middle row. This was our test vehicle and it has a real feeling of luxury of the type normally only offered in a limousine. Additional luxuries for Highlander variants include heated and ventilated front and second-row seats now for both seven- and eight-seat variants. Highlander also gains exclusive interior finishes, quilted seat inserts, quilted and perforated door trim inserts, suede headlining and stainless-steel front speaker grilles, and door/cargo area scuff plates. Every Highlander variant is available with Black Nappa leather with luxury quilting and Gloss Black/Pinstripe trim, with the further options of Warm Grey and Dark Khaki Nappa leather with unique wood-look trim dependent on the exterior colour.
Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Hyundai dealer for drive-away prices.
Infotainment A 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system is now standard on all Palisade models. Features include wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; six USB-C and one USB-A ports; Bluetooth message playback; embedded satellite navigation with live traffic updates; wireless smartphone charging; and a voice memo function with up to 70 minutes recording time; There’s also AM/FM and DAB+ digital radio although the latter cuts out when driving through cuttings or when there’s multiple trees in the centre island or simply in country driving. The 12-speaker Infinity audio system in our Palisade produced excellent sound quality and could be adjusted to suit our needs.
Safety Hyundai Palisade has lap-sash safety belts for all occupants. This isn’t as common as it should be because too many competitors have a lap-only belt in the centre-rear spot. An expanded suite of SmartSense driver assistance and advanced active safety features is used in the 2023 Palisade. It now incorporates forward collision-avoidance assist with junction turning function, intelligent speed limit assist, a multi anti-collision
20 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 4 October, 2022
braking system. There’s a surround view monitor, a reverse light guide function as well as reverse parking collision-avoidance assist. The latter a real bonus when you’re reversing a large people mover out of a tight spot in a shopping centre. It was also handy in the underground carpark in our apartment block where roof pillars and other vehicles are pretty close. With Bluelink, the 2023 Palisade has automatic collision notification and SOS emergency call function. There’s a natural language server-based voice control and server-based connected routing navigation.
Driving Getting into the front and two middle-row seats is easy. As you would expect the rearmost seats are a bit of squeeze to get in and out. But as that’s the area normally used by the littlies in your family there’s little hassle. And the juniors are more than happy to be as far from mum and dad as possible… Yet again I had problems seeing the information that’s displayed on the windscreen. My polarising sunglasses could not see it unless I tilted my head slightly to one side or the other. Obviously, I could look at the instruments in their normal position, but that’s a little less safe
than having a view of the forward traffic and the dials at the same time. Other car brands have solved this problem so it’s time Hyundai did. Palisade is impressive in the way that it drives, all the more so when you remember this is a five-metre-long vehicle where its main aim in life is to carry up to eight people. It’s certainly not sporty but you do feel that it wants to follow your directions through the steering wheel and throttle pedal. There’s some bump-thump over the joints on the road but we have felt worse. And some road roar on concrete surfaces, but on bitumen it’s nice and refined. Fuel consumption was in the nine to 11 litres per hundred kilometres around town in the suburbs and on hilly and winding roads. This dropped dramatically to just five to seven litres during easy paced driving on level roads and on 110 km/h motorways.
Summing up Hyundai Palisade is a reasonably priced, high-quality people mover that’s does everything it’s intended to do with plenty of aplomb. It’s significantly cheaper than upmarket European vehicles in the same class and certainly deserves a place on your short list of models to consider.

Chapman ready to get to work at Sunshine Building for long term success is the plan for new Sunshine coach Ben Chapman. Chapman comes to the Western Region Football League club as it negotiates one of it’s tougher periods in recent history. On the back of COVID-19, the club struggled this year winning just one game in division 1 and will be relegated to division 2 next season. Chapman said he was looking forward to the next challenge. “It’s something different and a different competition for me,” he said. “The club is going back into the second division which is something they haven’t done for 30 years. It’s something new and different for all of us. “We have the chance to create something that will take us forward for a long time.” Chapman comes to the Kangaroos with a long coaching history. He coached Oak Park in the Essendon District Football League and then Thomastown in the Northern Football
League. The last couple of years Chapman has been involved with Tullamarine, this year as a co-coach. He said wanted to coach on his own in 2023 and was excited by the chance to coach his own team again. “I’ve spoken to people in the football community and no one speaks a bad word about them,” he said. “Since I applied for the role, the club has been so warm and welcoming. It already feels like I have a connection to the place and a number of people from the club have reached out, it speaks volumes of the club.” Going down a division can be tough and Chapman said he wouldn’t be putting unrealistic expectations on the group next year. He said the focus wouldn’t just be on the senior team, but a club as a whole to ensure they have that long term pathway between juniors and seniors.
“Rest assured we cannot change the past, but we will write our history moving forward,“ he said. “My vision for the club is to be a place of inclusiveness, where everyone feels welcome, wants to be and we strive for everyone within the club to improve both individually and collectively and make our club better both on and off field. “Our aim is to become not only an A-grade club again, but a club that will have sustained success at the highest level. I will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of this.” Chapman said they were hopeful the majority of the playing group would re-sign, but know they will lose players who will still want to play at the higher level. “There will be some turnover, naturally,“ he said. “We will work with a list that will be capable of playing competitive footy. “If we can get continuous improvement see where we go from there.” New Sunshine coach Ben Chapman (right).

Vasilevska’s B&F shock By Tara Murray Caroline Springs’ Dijana Vasilevska wasn’t going to play football this year. Having started playing with Melton in the Ballarat Football League in 2019, Vasilevska’s budding football career had been interrupted by COVID-19. “It was my first season at Caroline Springs,” she said. “I wasn’t sure about playing and one of my former teammates was coming to play at the club. “I wasn’t sure whether I still wanted to play as I hadn’t played football a lot. “I decided to come down to one training session and after one training session I was staying there. “I realised that I missed it.” The decision proved to be a successful one with Vasilevska a key player in the Lakers’ first women’s premiership. Vasilevska’s season was late last month
capped off with a personal honour, awarded the Western Region Football League division 1 women’s best and fairest award. Vasilevska finished on 17 votes, five clear of Manor Lakers Jaimi Paten. She was left stunned by the result. “I’m so excited,” she said. “I was not expecting it. “It didn’t really hit me until after I got a medal and walked off the stage.” Vasilevska was quick to pay tribute to the coaches at Caroline Springs for helping her take her game to the next level. She played 16 games starring on the wing. “I think I had a good season,” she said. “I learned a lot from the coaches. At the start of the season, I’m not even half the player I am now.” Having reconnected with the sport, Vasilevska said she is keen to play for as long as she can. She said since winning the best and fairest
award there has been a few people asking whether she would look to play at a higher level. “I think I’ll just keep going and take it seriously and make sure I’m at every training session,” she said. “Every game I will be working on improving. I haven’t thought about playing higher and I’m not sure about it. “But there’s no harm in trying.” Vasilevska wasn’t the only Lakers player recognised with Jacinta Kondis named the female rookie of the year. In other awards, Dillon Vijio-Rainbow won the Barry Priest Medal for the best player in the men’s division 1 competition Shaun Campbell won the division 2 best and fairest for a second straight year, in division 3, Albanvale’s Liam Montrose won the division 3 best and fairest on 17 votes, three votes clear of teammate Reece Duffield. In the women’s division 2 competition, Wyndhamvale’s Mariah Burton was the runaway winner on 25 votes.
New Western United stars Kahli Johnson and Silver Bell Morris have been selected in an extended Young Matildas squad. The pair have formed part of a 31-player squad that touched down in Blacktown, Sydney on Sunday for a six-day training camp. Western United football general manager Mal Impiombato said the selections boded well for United’s inaugural A-League Women campaign. “We’re extremely proud to see Kahli and Silver Bell earn selection for the Young Matildas camp,” he said. “Both have been rewarded for outstanding years so far and this recognition will continue to push their development forward. “As a club, these selections are also proof of our recruitment process for our inaugural A-League Women season. “We have worked hard to identify talented players to fill our roster and we are confident that we are in a position to be competitive, with top talents such as Kahli and Silver Bell.” Johnson was part of the Young Matildas side that went to the FIFA under-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica in August where she featured in all three group games, including two starts. Morris helped the Junior Matildas to claim the AFF under-18 women’s championship title, defeating Vietnam 2-0 in the final. The centre-back started in four of the five matches at the tournament, including in the semi-final and the final as the side conceded just one goal on the way to lifting the trophy. This selection continues a massive 2022 for Morris, who was a key player in Football Victoria Emerging’s fantastic season, leading the side to its first-ever National Premier League Women’s finals berth. Johnson has also had a breakout 2022, debuting in the A-League Women as a 17-year-old with Sydney FC and making a total of five substitute appearances. The pair will spend the week with the squad before returning to Victoria ahead of the beginning of the first A-League Women pre-season with Western United.

Corey Ellis comes home By Tara Murray Keilor has received a boost with former AFL player Corey Ellis committing to the club full time. Ellis started his football career at the Essendon District Football League premier division club, before being drafted by Richmond. He played 31 AFL games at the Tigers and the Gold Coast Suns before being delisted at the end of 2020. Ellis has since then played in the Victorian Football League, most recently with Coburg, with Keilor his nominated local club. Ellis managed to play three games for the Blues this year, the first time pulling on the jumper in more than 10 years and the first time playing seniors. He kicked a goal in each game and was also named in the best in each match. Blues coach Mick McGuane said they were excited by what Ellis would bring to their midfield. “It’s great news,” he said. “He’s a quality player and person. “He might get the opportunity to play with his brothers if things come to fruition, that’s really great for them. Nathan was best on ground in our reserves grand final. Mitch will be pushing for seniors too and Corey will pick himself as long as he’s fit.” McGuane said the decision by Ellis to return to his former club continues to speak volumes about what they’re doing. He said it shows the quality of people at the club and that they give players the opportunity to live the dream, before making them feel welcome to want to come back home later on. The signing of Ellis will be a big boost for the Blues midfield, which at times was understrength this year. The Blues were knocked out in the first week of finals by Pascoe Vale. Former captain and league best and fairest winner Kane Barbuto missed most of the year due to work commitments, while Brett Stillman was injured. McGuane said they were hoping Barbuto would play next year, while Stillman would be back from injury. “Those players are hard to replace,” McGuane said. “We understood why Kane didn’t play, we’re hoping to see him back along with having Corey and Brett Stillman.” McGuane said they would possibly have

some other former players return next season in another boost. One player who won’t be out there for the Blues next season is Dean Galea. Galea, played just 10 games this year, has signed on with division 1 club Rupertswood as a playing co-coach. The forward had been a key for the Blues in their finals runs and premiership in recent
years since joining the club in 2016. McGuane had nothing but praise for Galea, who leaves the club with no hard feelings. “He knew his time was up at premier level,” he said. “He’s gone to a lower level, closer to home. “He had a great start to the year and then things didn’t go his or our way. “We had some honest conversations.”
Thunder appoints new NBL1 coach Keilor Thunder’s youth women’s championship winning coach is stepping up to coach the club’s National Basketball League 1 South women’s side next year. The Thunder announced on Wednesday that Trevor Burnette had been appointed coach for next season. He replaces Tom Bandilovski, who had coached the side since 2017. Under Bandilovski the side went from a Big V division 1 side to a state championship. He then led the side this year as the club moved in the NBL1 South competition. The club said on social media they were excited about what Burnette would bring to the side. “Coming off a VYCW [Big V youth championship women] and under-18 [Victorian Junior Basketball League] VC Reserve Championship this season, Trevor’s experience and wealth of knowledge will ensure that our Women’s program will maintain a high standard and a winning culture.” Burnette said he was excited by the new role. “I’m so honoured to be appointed the Keilor women’s NBL1 head coach,” he said. ”I’m so grateful to be part of such an amazing club both in the senior and junior pathways. Thank you to KBA for trusting me with this appointment and I’m super excited to get to work with the NB1 women.” Burnette has coached at a number of clubs before coming to Keilor, having started his coaching career in America. The Thunder finished in 12th spot this year with 10 wins and 12 losses. The side took a while to get used to the competition, but produced some good results with a young playing group. Bandilovski said during the season that it had taken a while for the side to adjust to the tempo of playing at that level. Tara Murray
Out of the blocks, Lions confident in new challenge Deer Park is aiming at finals in its first season in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division. Having not lost a match last season on the way to the division 1 championship, Lions coach Mick Andriadis is confident that they can mix it with the best teams in the competition. “We got to know each other last year and we looked down and out a few times and should have lost and we didn’t for whatever reason,“ he said. “The side has a lot of confidence and I’m expecting to be competitive this season. Hopefully we will make finals.” Andriadis said that they had a bit more depth this year across both their first and second XIs. He said there would be a lot of young players pushing for selection. “Our second XI didn’t have the best side last season,” he said. “We lacked personnel. We have a few players back and have some more depth and are looking a lot better than last year. “We got some players who played up until under-16s and then disappeared. They’re back after a few years and have shown some decent qualities.”

Andriadis said they also had a number of players who were still under 18 that looked like they were ready to take the next step.
22 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 4 October, 2022
They would be among those pushing for spots in the top two sides. “We’re looking to have eight or nine
established players playing in our first XI every week and then two to three spots which will be up for grabs.” Andriadis said while they were going up a grade, they were more than confident of being competitive. The Lions were set to start their season on Saturday against St Albans, but the opening round was postponed to December 4 due to not enough grounds being ready. Andriadis said the challenge of returning to two-day cricket, which they haven’t played the last two seasons due to COVID-19, is something they were looking forward to. “When they put their mind to it, they can play some good cricket in any format,” he said. “When they knuckle down we have an incredible bunch of abilities, whatever the challenge. The sky’s the limit.” The Lions are due to face Craigieburn this Saturday in a one-dayer. In other matches set to be played this week, Haig Fawkner is set to host Sunshine United, St Albans is scheduled to play the Druids, Yarraville Club will take on Aberfeldie and Keilor is set to host Westmeadows.

Cougars keen to continue their winning form Kealba-Green Gully is hoping to go at least a step further than last season in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association George Luscombe Shield. The Cougars’ premierships hopes ended last season as rain washed out their semi final, ending a promising season. Captain Evan Long said that the way last season ended stung the group. He said everyone was keen to get the season underway. “We’re looking forward to it,” he said. “Everyone is feeling okay and people are starting to pop back up with football finishing. “There will be a few familiar faces joining in training. It’s been pretty relaxed, but once the season starts we’ll be ready to go.” Long said the core group had returned again. He said while they had lost a couple of players, some familiar faces had also returned to the club. “We’ve lost a couple of guys from last year
with work and family commitments,” he said. “We haven’t really picked up any players, just a few older familiar faces have come back. “We’ll have some players able to step up and make a difference. Hopefully we’ll also see some better performances from the young guys stepping up.” Aaron Amos has stepped into the coaching role after joining the club last season. Long said they were excited by what Amos will bring to the role. “He has stepped into the role and chosen me as captain,” he said. “He has plenty of experience and ability over the years and was our best player by a mile last year. “He delivered the goods last season and hopefully everyone else will be able to follow.” Long said finals was the aim this season like
it was ever year, He said the return of two-day cricket would also favour them with their game better suited to it. The Cougars started their season on Saturday against Buckley Park. It wasn’t the result they were after, with Buckley Park coming away with the points. The Cougars batted first, making 8-141 from their overs, after being 0-59. Warren Kelly top scored with 35 at the top of the order. Buckley Park made the runs with ease, with nearly 10 overs in hand. It finished 5-143. It was all single wicket takers for the Cougars. In other results, the Darebin Chargers and Gladstone Park both got wins. This Saturday the Cougars will face the Darebin Chargers. Tara Murray

Montrose’s shock win By Tara Murray Albanvale’s Liam Montrose didn’t think he played enough games to be in contention for the Western Region Football League division 3 best and fairest medal. Even when he was invited to the awards night, he thought that he had only finished in the top five. So when he was announced the winner, Montrose was left in shock. Montrose finished on 17 votes, three votes clear of teammate Reece Duffield. Braybrook’s Nicholas Papakalodoukas was a further vote back in third, while Brookers premiership captain Aidan O’Rafferty finished fourth. Montrose said it took a while for it to settle in that he had won. “I was shaking for half an hour afterwards,” he said. “I was shocked, I had missed a few games during the year, so I didn’t think I had a chance. “I was lucky enough to get enough goals through the middle. It’s pretty overwhelming
to have won it.” For Montrose, his first season at Albanvale was a new experience. Not only was he at a new club, he was stepping into senior football for the first time. He was unsure how he would go at this level. “To be honest I was a little bit scared,” he said. “I’m not the biggest kid going around. “I thought one big hip and shoulder would be the end of me. I’m a lot more confident playing senior football now.” Montrose finished third in the league goal kicking with 78 goals, forming a one-two punch with Nathan Johnson, who finished fourth in the goal kicking. He said this year would be a good starting point for his senior football career. For Montrose it was a disappointing end to the season, both personally and as a team. He missed the side’s preliminary final against Braybrook with injury. The Cobras lost that match to be knocked out in straight sets. “It was pretty disappointing,” Montrose said. “It was really hard watching on the side lines.
“We’ll look to go out there next year and be better.” Werribee Districts’ Dillon Viojo-Rainbow was named the winner of the Barry Priest Medal, for the best player in division 1. He finished two votes clear of Caroline Springs’ Mitchell Bongiovanni with Altona’s Josh Bench one vote further back. Vijio-Rainbow said he had no idea that he would be in contention for the medal until the last couple of rounds. He said for him it was one of his best seasons in recent times. “It’s been one of my better years since returning from the VFL,” he said. “I’m just going out and playing footy now and stringing games together this year. “For me, I’m just enjoying football. I’m loving playing football like when I was 13, 14.” Four Caroline Springs players finished in the top 10 with Liam Read, Max Tessari and Ryan Allan also polling well. Lakers’ Dylan Laurie was named male rookie of the year.
Deer Park and St Albans could be on the move next season to the Essendon District Football League. The two clubs, which currently play in the Western Region Football League division 1 competition, presented to the EDFL board a number of weeks ago. The league informed clubs on Friday that the EDFL board decided on Wednesday night that the league would accept both clubs applications to join our competition for season 2023. While the league has accepted the applications of both sides, there is still a lot to happen before it is approved. AFL Victoria and the WRFL are to be consulted before the admission is finalised. Leagues and AFL Victoria have the ability to block the move. That was the case when Rupertswood, the most recent team to join the EDFL, tried to make the switch in late 2020. AFL Victoria later approved the move after a panel hearing. If both clubs join the EDFL it will mean there is 30 clubs with senior men’s teams. Neither club had women’s sides this year. For the WRFL it would be a blow, with both sides in the competition’s top division. Deer Park, which won a seventh straight premiership in 2019, made the semi final this year, knocked out by grand finals Werribee Districts. St Albans finished in seventh with five wins. The loss off those two teams would reduce the number of senior men’s clubs to 23. WRFL chief executive Matthew Duck said the league is disappointed that the applications have been made from two valued clubs, but equally understand this is the community football landscape they operate in. “Under the relevant AFL Victoria rules, the league has a period of ten business days to determine whether it will formally object to either-both applications, and will consider its position over this time.” Tara Murray
