Wear a
badge to
honour
By Jessica Howard

War veterans, cadets and community members will

walk the streets of Moorabool this month to sell ANZAC
badges ahead of the national day of remembrance.
The ANZAC Appeal commenced in late March in the
lead up to Anzac Day on Wednesday, April 25.
RSL State President, Robert Webster said almost one
million badges were distributed throughout Victoria
this year.
“These badges are distributed to our network of
285 Sub-Branches in every corner of the state; they
then assemble their teams of local volunteers, often
veterans, who spend hours selling in the streets of the
community,” he said.
“The money we raise from the sale of Anzac Appeal
badges helps current and former defence force
personnel and their families when in need”.
Ballan RSL President, Rick Campey said he is confident
the local community will once again generously
support the appeal.
“Our RSL volunteers, many of them veterans, are
ready to offer a variety of Anzac Appeal badges. The
high level of energy and commitment shown by our
Sub-Branch volunteers as they raise the much needed
funds, is truly humbling,” he said.
“Each and every volunteer is determined to get into
the community and not only sell Anzac Appeal badges,
but to share their stories and experience”.
This year, Ballan RSL will hold an Anzac Day Dawn
Service at 5am at the Anzac Tree in McLean Reserve,
followed by a breakfast at the Ballan CFA, and
Moorabool’s only march and afternoon service.
The march will commence at the Ballan RSL at 1pm
and conclude at the Ballan Cenotaph, with afternoon
tea to follow at the Ballan RSL Hall.
Bacchus Marsh RSL will hold their march on Sunday 22
April, starting at the Bacchus Marsh hospital cenotaph
to the RSL Hall in Main St, and an Anzac Day service
at Coimadai Memorial Park at 11am.
Anzac Appeal badges can be purchased from local
supermarkets, RSL-Branch or from local volunteer

Historical renovation for pub

By Jessica Howard
A popular Bacchus Marsh
watering hole is set to be
transformed into a local
icon, once more.
Stoney’s Club commenced
renovations in early Febru-
ary, with owners planning
to bring the hotel back to
basics.
“We want to bring a piece of
Bacchus Marsh history back
to the present and allow the
pub to stand out, rather than
blend in,” Manager Theo
Raravitis said.
“Stoney’s has been around
for such a long time, and if
the walls could talk, there
really would be some amaz-
ing stories”.
Stoney’s Club was con-
structed in 1872 after James
Vallence, the first proprietor
of the hotel, was granted a
beer license.
Vallence first established
a beer shop in his house at
Maddingley Flat, before his
successful publican’s license
saw him erect the six-room
hotel, made from brick and
plaster, and known as Ston-
ey’s Bridge Inn Hotel.
Current renovations will in-
clude upgrades to the gam-
(L-R) Bistro Superviser Hayley with Robin, who has attended the pub for more than 50 years, and TAB Manager, Christine

ing room, kitchen and bistro;
as well as a new children’s
area that will extend outside.
Bistro supervisor, Hayley
Sayer said a section of the
hotel will also be reverted
back to the original brick,
dating back to the 1870s.
“When we started to talk
about the renovations, you
had people who had been
coming here for 10, 20 and
30-years getting excited and
telling their own stories,”
she said.
“We went to the historical
society and they gave us
some fantastic information
about the Stone family, who
owned the pub for 20-odd
years.
“Unfortunately, there have
been a few adjustments over
the years and a bit of bad
workmanship, meaning the
bottom section is quite dam-
aged. As a result, we’ll be
stripping the top floor back
to its original brick and we
will re-render the bottom
half white”.
The renovations are ex-
pected to be completed by
August this year.
TAB Manager, Christine
said she was looking for-
ward to the first renovations
she’d seen in her 16-year ca-
reer at the hotel.
“I think the only update I’ve
seen is new carpet, so I’ve
really been waiting for these
renovations, she said.
“There’ll be bigger monitors
for television and the odds,
which I know all the punters
are excited for; and I prob-
ably spend more time here
than at home, so it will be
great having a nice modern
venue, with a bit of the his-
tory still left, too”.
Robin Dyson, who lived in
Coimadai for 25-years and
Bacchus Marsh for the last
38, said he often called in to
the pub to meet friends.
“It used to be a very small
place, with the bar located
where the gaming room is
now,” he said.
“I used to always call in
when I could, but now I’ve
moved to Maddingley so I
come here nearly every day,
especially when the wife’s
cooking mushrooms”.
Stoney’s Club will hold an
official opening and family
day on Sunday August 12.

Amendment in hands of Minister

Local ROAD WORKS in Bacchus Marsh

By Kate Taylor
Council’s small Towns Strategy is set to
become official as part of Planning scheme
Amendment C78.
Amendment C78 is a Council initiated
amendment which seeks to implement
the Moorabool Shire Small Towns and
Settlements Strategy, adopted by Council in
September 2016.
The amendment had previously been
put out for public comment, and several
objections were received; however, only two
remained unresolved after discussions with
council, and those remaining objections
were put before an independent planning
panel for consideration.
The panel dismissed the objections, and
recommended several minor changes, but
overall recommended that council adopt the

Rattling the tin for the kids

By Jessica Howard
Moorabool has raised over $50,000 for
this year’s Royal Children’s Hospital
Good Friday Appeal.
Collections in Ballan, Gordon,
Greendale, Mt Egerton ($24,459.75) and
Bacchus Marsh ($30,734) contributed to
the record breaking state total of more
than $18 million.
Former Bacchus Marsh resident, Lisa
Mitchell was one of many volunteers
who hit the streets on Friday (March
30), to rattle tins and collect donations.
Ms Mitchell has been taking part in
the annual appeal for close to two
decades.
“It is something that I hold really close
to my heart,” she said.
“I was diagnosed with epilepsy before
I was 10-years-old, so I spent quite
some time in the Royal Children’s
Hospital.
“In 1993, I had my first MRI scan,
which picked up a piece of scar tissue
on my temporal lobe and on December
1, 1993, I underwent brain surgery and
have not had a seizure since.
“My story is a lucky one, but there are
still so many sick kids out there today
and it just tears my heart out”.
Ms Mitchell first volunteered for the
Bacchus Marsh Good Friday Appeal
around 18-years-ago.
“My husband Chris was in the
Lisa Mitchell has been raising much needed funds for the RCH Good Friday appeal for 18-years in Bacchus Marsh Lions Club and every
Bacchus Marsh. Photo – Helen Tatchell Good Friday we’d come down to the
fire station and help count the money.
“In my first or second year, they asked
me if I’d be interested in rattling a can
and I said yes and have been doing it
every year since”.
Ms Mitchell moved to Cobram with
her family in December 2009, however
it hasn’t stopped her from being part of
the Bacchus Marsh appeal.
“I come down every year without
fail,” she said.
“When you sit there on a Friday
afternoon, you see and hear all the
stories of the sick kids in our country,
and I just want to put my heart out to
the families and tell them how much I
want to help out.
“For me, coming back every year to
rattle the cans is the one thing that I can
do to help. Over the years, the amount
of money I have raised has grown to
over $1,000 per year and there are a lot
of charitable people who have started
to recognise my face and give me a
donation every year”.
The Good Friday Appeal raises funds
for The Royal Children’s Hospital in
Melbourne.
Bacchus Marsh Lions Club area
manager, David Atterbury thanked
the community for their generous
contributions.
“Lions would like to thank all the
businesses around town which have
had collection cans all year, and all
people who shook cans on Good
Friday”.

Growth and housing reports
– two years in the making
By Kate Taylor
The ‘mammoth’ document
that is the Bacchus Marsh
Urban Growth Framework,
and the Planning Scheme
amendment that will make
it official, have been referred
to a Planning Panel.
A Special Meeting of coun-
cil was held in Bacchus
Marsh on Wednesday 28
March to hear the Amend-
ment C81 proposal.
Around 40 community
members were in the gallery,
of which many addressed
the meeting.
The BMUGF itself identifies
future residential growth
precincts, new employment
precincts and key infrastruc-
ture requirements within
the Bacchus Marsh district;
it also identifies key growth
actions, at both the State, re-
gional and local level.
The Amendment applies to
approximately 140 sqkm of
land in the Bacchus Marsh
district, including the urban
and rural areas of Bacchus
Marsh, Darley, Maddingley
and Pentland Hills, together
with the rural fringe areas
of Merrimu, Parwan, Ho-
petoun Park, and parts of
Coimadai, Long Forest, and
Rowsley.
Council received 55 submis-
sions during the exhibition
period, of the amendment,
including 15 from public
authorities, and including
many submissions from
objectors.
Submission content ranged
from property owners want-
ing either to be included or
not included in growth are-
as, the need for new schools,
bushfire risk, buffer zones
around sensitive use ar-
eas such as the Maddingley
Waste and Recovery Hub,
traffic and road network is-
sues, and aerodrome plan-
ning issues.

Speakers at the meeting
had mixed opinions; objec-
tor Steven Harper said that
he agreed with the council
recommendation to refer
the proposed amendment
to a Planning Panel, how-
ever supporter Ross Closter
stated the proposed amend-
ment should be heard by an
independent panel.
Bacchus Marsh resident Bob
Reid spoke as a supporter
of the amendment and had
spoken with the council
planners during the consul-
tation process.
“This has been a mammoth
task and I congratulate the
council officers on the work
done over what, the last 24-
odd months?” Mr Reid said.
“People admire our coun-
try town style we have and
our ability to be close to the
environment – but we can
do more in this plan to pre-
serve these things – we need
more specific things related
to environmental planning,
and opportunity for flyways
and walkways to be incorpo-
rated in the plan – and birds
and animal movements, we
also need to preserve mixed
architecture because there
are not many goldfields
houses left and that’s what
makes our town look and be
like it is.
“This is a big opportunity
for us as a shire, and we
need to go that extra mile
as it cannot be overturned
and so it must be clear in the
planning scheme so that it
cannot be mis-construed or
mis-interpreted.”
All councillors voted in
favour of the motion to ask
the Planning Minister to
appoint a planning panel to
hear all submissions, howev-
er, Councillors Tom Sullivan
and Pat Toohey were apolo-
gies at the meeting.

Coupled with the Bacchus Marsh Urban Growth

It was also referred by councillors at the Special

Bald Hill potential increases
By Kate Taylor
There are now high hopes of developing Bald Hill into a
popular area for outdoor activities.
The March 7 council meeting heard that there are many
options to pursue for the area, following a request late last
year by East Ward Councillor Jarrod Bingham to look into
developing the area into a destination for outdoor activities.
The Bald Hill Activation Project Background Paper and
Scoping Document was tabled at the meeting, finding that
the site has various topographical, access and planning
control constraints that make development for residential and
organised sport difficult, however, the site is well suited for a
range of alternative uses.
The report noted that activities that would be friendly to the
Bald Hill area, such as walking, cycling and running, are
among the most popular outdoor activities for Victorians, and
that there is a growing market within Victoria and Australia
of day visitation for mountain biking and trail running, with
News
visitors estimated to spend on average $77 per person per day.
It also noted the State Government has provided funding for
the development of similar sites in Harcourt ($2 million) and
Creswick ($2.56 Million) in response to the trends in active
recreation aimed at attracting higher visitation to the towns.
“The site has potential to be developed as a Regional Level
facility that caters for Recreational walking, running, horse
riding and cycling; Higher intensity trails running and fitness;
and as a Mountain bike facility,” the report reads.
Funding is available from the State Government to undertake
a feasibility study into recreation and economic benefits of
developing the site for active recreation purposes.
“While constrained under State and Local Planning Studies,
there is potential for the northern edge of the reserve adjacent
to Swans Road to be considered for inclusion in the future non-
urban investigation area - subject to funding.”
Council officers will now pursue funding for a feasibility
study, including a bid for $30,000 from council’s budget but
also exploring government funding options.

The ins and outs of Bald Hill
Bald Hill is a 120ha reserve located on the
western edge of Darley in Bacchus Marsh, and is
characterised by significant gullies and ridge lines
and provides a green western edge backdrop to the
residential areas of Bacchus Marsh and Darley and
provides great views to Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne,
the surrounding farming land and the Lerderderg
State Park.
The reserve is easily accessible to local Bacchus
Marsh residents, via both the local road and shared
path networks, and is well connected to the Western
Highway and the Bacchus Marsh Train Station.
Since 2001, there has been a significant effort
made by Moorabool Shire Council to rehabilitate
the site to assist in the control of serrated tussock,
rabbits and erosion, involving the planting of trees
and shrubs both for ecological and commercial
purposes via State Government funding.
Approximately 70ha of the reserve is leased to
a local nursery to assist in reducing Council’s
management costs, with the lease set to expire in
2027, and approximately 60 per cent of this planted
vegetation is to be harvested for commercial
purposes.
Due to the lack of passive surveillance, the reserve
has become a location for illegal dumping of
building and household rubbish, trail bikes and
shooting.
It is estimated that over a three year period between
2015 and 2017, Council spent between nine and
13.5 days investigating and responding to resident
complaints relating to these activities on Bald Hill.
Police Rounds
By Jessica Howard
A number of out of control fires occurred
throughout Moorabool over the Easter
weekend. Owners of Ballan, Greendale,
Creswick, Smythesdale and Darley
properties were burning refuse and rubbish
when the fire became out-of-control and
due to dry conditions, spread quickly. CFA
attended the properties to extinguish the
fires. The occupants were interviewed by
police, with summons pending.
•••
Ballan Police were involved in the hunt for
a number of offenders seen fleeing from a
silver Honda sedan in Long Forest on Friday
March 30. Two occupants were later arrested
with the assistance of the Dog Squad.
•••
Ballan Police conducted over 160 random
breath tests during the state-wide Operation
VG1445
Nexus over the long Easter weekend. Police
issued six penalty notices for offences
including speeding and drinking alcohol
from an open container while driving.
•••
In the early hours of Wednesday April 4, a
car was submerged in water at Pykes Creek
Reservoir. Bacchus Marsh SES volunteers
deployed a rescue boat to access the vehicle,
which luckily had nobody trapped inside.

A service review covering everything from toilet cleaning,
the Visitor Information Centre, and governance, is set to be
undertaken by Moorabool Shire Council.
Councillors voted at the March 7 council meeting to begin
the review.
The toilet cleaning service provided by Council include
sanitary cleaning of public facilities (including toilets and
BBQs), as well as dog bag unit maintenance, all of which will
be included in the review.
Council operates the Visitor Information Centre, and
due to changing visitor behaviour, growing technological
demands, and decreasing visitor numbers to the VIC, the
service review will determine the appropriate method/
role and function of the VIC to ensure relevance to visitors,
Moorabool Shire Council CEO, Rob Croxford
said council officers and contractors had
carried out a number of repairs, including the

installation of a customised door.
“The main issue appears to be that the doorway
had two separate hinged doors which made it
easy to break into,” he said.
“We have since installed a customised single
door, which will alleviate the issue. As a further
temporary measure, we have secured the door
and removed the outside handle.
“A new motion sensor security light and camera
were also installed two weeks ago.”
Bacchus Marsh Soccer Club committee member,
Noel Stanley said the upgrades were a breath of
fresh air for the club.

Affordable Living - Popular Location! Choosing who
sells your home
Your home is often your
largest financial asset so
when it comes time to sell,
selecting the right agent re-
quires careful consideration.
Knowing which agents and
agencies are active in your
area is important as local
agents can draw on their da-
tabase of interested property
seekers, in particular buyers
who may have missed out on
a similar home in the same
town or suburb.
It’s also a good idea to re-
search homes for sale in
your neighbourhood – and
how much they are selling
for. It’s advisable for poten-
tial sellers to attend a couple

highest price for your home
and the cheapest agent may
not necessarily be the best
agent to do this.
Remember, it’s a competi-
tive market and sellers are in
a strong position to negotiate
commission fees with their
preferred agent.
There are a number of agent
comparison sites in the mar-
ket, however, it’s important
to bear in mind that these
services are not free and will
often obtain a share of the
agent’s commission.
I’d also advise against at-
tempting to sell your home
yourself. Negotiating a sale
is a skill honed with train-
ing and experience and is an
area where a licensed agent
can add significant value.
An experienced agent can
not only advise on the initial
listing price but, important-
ly, negotiate the final sale
process and price with one
or more interested buyers,
achieving the best possible
outcome for your most valu-
able asset. Trying to sell your
house ‘on the cheap’ can cost
you significantly in the long
run.

bers by town or region, visit

MOTORING MOORABOOL
Local cars climb the Hill
By John Orchard

Last Sunday (April 8) saw the 2018 running of the annual Myrniong
Historic Car Sprints. This event continues to grow in popularity
each year, was located on Korobeit Road in Myrniong and has a
relaxed atmosphere, quality cars, and ample spectator viewing;
the event always promises an enjoyable day for competitors
and enthusiasts alike. Entry fee: $10 for adults, children free.
Scrutineering of the competition cars started at 8.30am with the
sprint races starting at 9.30am. The course is an 850 metre hill climb
sprint, the start line on level ground, then rising to a slight crest,
then into a steep uphill right curve, followed by a crest turning left,
and finally down a dip and a rise up to the finish line.
Competition classes for the day include Cars built for racing up
to 1960, Sports Cars built up to 1975, Touring Cars built up to 1970,
Reproduction Sports Cars & Specials built up to 1975. Your senses
are bound to experience many different sounds & smells (Castrol
R40 ….. Mmmmm) Not only was there competition vehicles but
also competition cars on display, the event is run by the Austin 7
Club, so there is a good chance that you’ll see something cool that
wasn’t at other local car shows.
Prior to race day I thought I would have a quick pre catch-up
with classic car guru Steve Pike from Darley. Steve, now in partial
retirement, runs his own workshop, building and repairing classic
cars; in-particular Healys. Steve ran his 1959 3 litre Healy on the Steve with a customers car at the rear of his workshop.
weekend and this car has been his ‘Sport Production’ class car
since he built-it-up back in 2004.
Steve, who has lived in the area since 1976, has been competing for
about 8 years but building cars for 38 years. Steve’s wife Helen is a
strong supporter, and we all know ….. “A partner that gives good
support, makes you competitive in sport” (I just made that up, ha
ha ). Steve’s son David, also afflicted with the motor enthusiast
bug, runs his own coach-building business in Gordon, having
spent many years learning and assisting his father,
Another car that I spied in Steve’s workshop was a very unique
vintage weapon; a Lister ‘Knobbly’ replica, built by Steve back in
2014. This car, running a Jaguar racing 3.8 litre 6 cylinder engine
and putting out 330hp, competed for its first time on the weekend.
First events for any performance vehicle, especially one built
from the ground-up, will soon highlight any bugs that need to be
ironed-out. Steve says the estimated value of the Lister replica is
around $250k! Steve has a another Lister replica in its early stages,
this time running a ‘period’ Chev 283; lookout for a story on that as
it nears completion.
Next week – a round up of the Myrniong Sprint day.
