Catastrophe Avoided

By Helen Tatchell
It was started by lightning; burnt
approximately eight-hectares of the State’s
most challenging and inaccessible bush;
and was on the doorstep of Moorabool, the
Lerderderg State Park.
The Mt Blackwood-McKenzie Track
bushfire was only around six kilometres
east of Greendale, with Vic Emergency
issuing numerous Advice and Watch &
Act warnings and updates on Thursday
and Friday for Greendale, Korobeit,
Dales Creek, Blackwood, Lerderderg and
Myrniong.
At a community meeting last Friday
evening at Egan’s Reserve in Greendale,
Operations Manager CFA District 15
Brett Boatman, said smoke rising from
the area was reported around 3.20pm last
Thursday.
“Due to favourable conditions and aircraft
water bombers operating throughout
Thursday night, the spread of the fire
slowed.
“Our main concern was bushwalkers, and
the Lerderderg State Park was closed on
Saturday until further advised,” he said.
Walking tracks near the fire included
Lower Chadwick Track and McKenzie
Track, with bushwalkers advised to
leave the area and others advised not to
enter walking tracks in the vicinity of Mt
Blackwood.
Mr Boatmen said the bushfire was in
difficult terrain, limiting access for fire
crews.
“Air operations continued on Friday
afternoon with bulldozers and fire crews
constructing containment lines around
the fire.”
Just before 6pm on Saturday evening an
Advice was issued with a message the fire
had been contained.
“The fire had not increased in size,” the
Advice read.
“The bushfire remains within the
Lerderderg State Park in difficult to access
terrain.
“Bulldozers and fire crews continued to
consolidate containment lines around the
fire and firefighters were aided by aircraft,
remaining on scene throughout the day
and overnight, patrolling the area.”
It was a relief for communities in the
area as nightmare hot and windy weather
conditions on Sunday saw the temperature
peak at 37-degrees Celsius.
** LATE UPDATE - The fire was declared
safe on Monday 4 February at 11.35am

Google gives thief

wrong information
By Caitlin Bewley (2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)

A Bacchus Marsh man has learned not to trust Google after

breaking into a house at a Melton estate which he believed
the occupant to be deceased.
Kade Sexton appeared before Magistrate Frank Jones to face
multiple burglary charges, as well as being in breach of his
community corrections orders.
It was on 19 November 2017 the accused allegedly entered
a house in Grangefields via a door which was left opened by
the resident to let her dogs in and out of the house.

Prosecutor Senior Constable Lisa Schoemaker told the court
the home owner was woken by her dogs barking, soon after
noticing an intruder inside her house.
The victim allegedly asked Sexton “who [he was]”, to which
he replied, “I thought it was a deceased estate.”

Turbines blamed for
eagle deaths
By Meg Kennedy
A Glenmore resident has
taken it upon himself to ad-
vocate on behalf of wedge-
tailed eagles being killed by
wind-turbine blades at the
Yaloak South Wind Farm.
It has been reported that
three wedge-tailed eagles
have been killed in the area
since the turbines first began
spinning in late 2017, with
the deaths recorded between
the period of August to Sep-
tember 2018.
But resident Kevin Ram-
holdt, an advocate against
the placement of the wind
farm for more than ten
years, believes the number
is higher.
“[Pacific Hydro] had about
eight months-worth of no
dead birds. We had no idea
if anything was found or
hit or killed - maybe there
was nothing - but consider-
ing there’s been so many in
a short time, you’d have to

area. Photo – Helen Tatchell Mr Ramholdt told the Moor-
abool News.
The area is well-known for
wedge-tailed eagle sight-
ings, and Mr Ramholdt be-
lieves the farm is situated in
what he says is the “worst
windfarm in Australia” for
eagle deaths.
“[Pacific Hydro] was told
a million times to not build
it in that location because
it’s problematic, and it’s
problematic because…it’s
the worst wind farm in
Australia, or predicted to be
the worst, for killing wedge-
tailed eagles,” he said.
“Even though it’s only 14

Email - news@themooraboolnews.com.au
Mr Ramholdt’s advocacy
led to an appearance at the
Victorian Civil and Admin-
istrative Tribunal (VCAT)
last November, following
Pacific Hydro’s proposal to
amend a Management Plan,
to reduce the frequency and
period of time to monitor
bird and bat deaths at Yaloak
South Wind Farm.
The proposal also sought
to amend a permit condi-
tion that prevents lambing
of sheep within paddocks
where turbines are located.
The report included an ex-
pert opinion on behalf of
Pacific Hydro that suggested
“there will be some deaths
of wedge-tailed eagles as a
result of strikes by turbine
blades,” and that the deaths
from the turbines “is unlike-
ly to impact on the viability
of the population of wedge-
tailed eagles.”
The VCAT hearing deter-
mined the permit be amend-
ed on the basis that if issues
of bird and bat deaths were
to arise, it can be managed
by outside bodies, including
the Department of Environ-
ment, Land, Water and Plan-
ning (DELWP) if necessary.
After recently speaking to
local media outlets, Mr Ram-
holdt is still committed to
bringing to light the deaths
of the eagles.
“…The interesting part is
that most people probably
don’t realise that the wedge-
tails do get killed by it, be-
cause there’s still quite a bit
of disbelief out there,” he
said of the media response.
But although his media ap-
pearances have reignited an
awareness in the public eye,
Mr Ramholdt says nothing
has been done.
“There really hasn’t been
any change…the position re-
ally hasn’t shifted,” he said.
Mr Ramholdt said his long-
term advocacy stems from
watching the eagles thrive in
their natural habitat.
“We’re so passionate about
watching the wedge-tails…
you saw them all the time.
It’s a bit like people who
watch dolphins or whales,”
he said.
“Now every time you see
them, it’s more like [you
want to tell the birds] ‘Go
and live somewhere else’…
you’re watching with your
hands over your eyes.”
“It used to be a pleasure.
Now it’s watching them
with a sense of dread.”
As for the next step, Mr
Ramholdt believes wind
farming companies “need to
be much stricter with plan-
ning control.”
“I want this stuff to be
transparent, and I fear it’s
not going to be…a lot of peo-
ple aren’t aware that [these
deaths] are going to hap-
pen…so, it is a real worry,”
he said.
“[The eagles] were here long
before us, and hopefully
they’ll be here long after
us. But the way it’s going, it
doesn’t look like it.”
Pacific Hydro spokesper-
son Adam Chandler told
the Moorabool News that
monitoring has been occur-
ring weekly since early July
2018, as per the approved
monitoring plan, and will
continue until the end of
April this year.
“The results are recorded
by the specialist consultant
and reported to Pacific Hy-
dro on a regular basis. We
are required to advise DEL-
WP within seven days if any
Wedge-tailed Eagle or other
threatened species impact
occurs,” he said.
“Periodic reporting to
DELWP is also required as
the program progresses. The
monitoring program’s total
length is to be for a mini-
mum of three years.”
Mr Chandler also con-
firmed Pacific Hydro will
continue to support en-
vironmental projects and
initiatives in the local area
through the Yaloak South
Community Fund, which
recently donated $28,000 to
local community groups in-
cluding Beremboke Reserve
Committee, Rowsley Land-
care Group and the Mt Wal-
lace Hall.

Rates Letters to the Editor

capped
Moorabool ratepayers will have their rates raised on par with the Consumer Price Index in
the coming financial year.
Councillors voted at the December council meeting, held in Ballan, to reject the option
to apply to the Essential Services Commission to raise rates above the rate capping limit
imposed by the state government, set at that of the CPI inflation rate.
The decision was an early one, as councillors were only required to vote on whether or not to
keep the option open for further consideration in the lead up to the budget preparation, with
councillors voting to shut it down at the first opportunity.
A council officer advised on the night that the application to the ESC would not be due until
the end of March and councillors Dave Edwards and Tom Sullivan argued that a ‘no’ decision
was premature.
“We’re just keeping our options open, we don’t have to exercise it; it’s good financial
management,” Cr Sullivan told the meeting.
“I don’t think we are in the position to make a rate cap decision, to close off now is premature,”
Cr Edwards said.
Councillors Tonia Dudzik, Jarrod Bingham, Pat Toohey and John Keogh argued not against
keeping the option open, but directly against increasing rates above CPI.
Mayor Paul Tatchell told the Moorabool News the state government should be taking on the
responsibility of funding infrastructure given that it decided to introduce rate capping in the
first place.
“We definitely could use the money, and we could definitely use the increase, but then
we’re taking on the responsibility of the state government who should be paying for the
infrastructure,” Mayor Tatchell said.
He added last year’s average rate rise for comparable councils was five to seven per cent, but
Moorabool’s was just four per cent.
“But the current situation is that we’re underfunded – by about $100 per head compared to
similar councils.
“If the government comes to the table and puts funding in place for Moorabool then yes, it’s
settled. But while they’re neglecting us, why should we put that burden on the back of our
ratepayers?” he said.
Dear Editor,
Am I the only member of the community that has been horrified by the removal of the carpet
roses along Inglis Street?
Through spring and summer, the roses bloomed continuously and then the reds and golds
of the autumn leaves brought many visitors back through the town, again and again.
Can we, the proud residents of our town, hope the wonderful display outside of the Mechan-
ics Institute is spared the rubbish tip and remains, reminding us of what the beautifying of
Ballan has cost?
Let all of us that miss what has gone hope some common sense prevails, and at least that
entire area is left as it is.

Ballan
Dear Editor,
I write in regard to the letter from Tony Lynch (MN 22 January 2019); I am concerned by the
unfounded public accusations of deceit and misinformation. As residents of Gordon, my fel-
low campaigners and I have acted with good faith seeking to engage community and local
council so that we can have appropriate development in Gordon. We’ve got people talking
and we have received widespread support. But we’ve also encountered some opposition -
that is to be expected in the rough and tumble of local politics, but it is disappointing when
insults and personal slurs replace constructive debate, analysis and ideas.
Now it’s time to work together. A Gordon residents’ group is being formed with a focus on
planning issues. My email address and mobile phone number have been spread far and wide
(it’s a small town just ask someone and they’ll put you in touch), so please contact me for more
information or to join the discussion.

Get out of jail free card By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A peculiar circumstance arose in
the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’
court on Friday January 25, which
Magistrate Frank Jones described
as “[being] a part of history.”
Adrian McRoss had been falsely
let out of prison two weeks prior
to his original release date; the
court heard the accused allegedly
corrected authorities on their error
and informed them that he needed
to serve a longer sentence.
The accused failed to appear before
Magistrate Frank Jones on January
25, but his representation said she
had “spoken to him earlier” and
that he was “in Sorrento with his
two daughters”.
“He’s a very honest man,”
Magistrate Jones said.
“If he were here today, I would
have given him the benefit and he
would have walked out of here.”
The accused’s lawyer expressed
the difficulty she faced trying to get
in contact with her client in regard
to the court hearing.
“Perhaps we take advantage of
the audio video link?” Prosecutor
Senior Constable Lisa Schoemaker
said to the Magistrate. “I’ve never
come across this before.”
“Nor have I,” Magistrate Jones
said.
The accused’s lawyer proceeded to
call her client and inform him that
he was on loud speaker in court
with Magistrate Jones advising
McRoss the conclusion of his
decision.
Magistrate Jones altered McRoss’
sentence to 141-days served,
meaning he didn’t have to return
to prison for the extra two weeks he
was initially sentenced to.

Speed still number
one offence
By Meg Kennedy
Speeding was again the highest driving
offence in Moorabool over the Australia Day
long weekend, following the enforcement of
Victoria Police’s Operation Amity.
The Moorabool area saw 19 speeding
offences, the highest number of offences
throughout the four-day operation.
This was followed by four incidents
of disobeying signs and signals, three
unlicensed drivers and three unregistered
vehicles.
Speeding continues to be the highest offence
recorded in Moorabool during an operation
period, following Operation Roadwise over
Christmas last year, which saw 191 speeding
offences during the 24-day operation.
Ballan Office-in-Charge Sergeant
Michael Kearnes said speed detection and
enforcement remains one of local police’s
road safety priorities.
“Speeding has been identified as one of
the most prevalent causational factors with
regard to injury-related collisions,” he said.
Although Moorabool saw low numbers of
drink and drug driving offences - with just
two and zero respectively - Sgt Kearnes said,
“drink driving is always of concern to us.”
“With speeding, it is a contributing factor to
injury and fatal collisions.”
State-wide results for Operation Amity
include 206 drink drive offences, 165 drug
driving offences, 2,269 speeding offences
and 360 incidents of disobeying signs and
signals.
The operation follows a tragic start to the
Australia Day weekend, where a 19-year old

Bacchus Marsh Avenue of Honour Centenary Celebrations
On 11 August, 2018, a century since the original planting of 281 trees in the Avenue of Honour,
the community of Bacchus Marsh showed they remember the men and women of the Bacchus
Marsh district who served during WW1. The commemoration of the planting of the Avenue
of Honour involved hundreds of people of all ages, drawn from near and far, who attended to
pay their respects to those who served in the Great War of 1914-1918. The event, which was co-
ordinated by the Bacchus Marsh R&SL, brought together many community volunteers from
service clubs in Bacchus Marsh. These included the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, SES, CFA
Brigade, St John’s Ambulance, Red Cross, CWA, Legacy, The Men’s Shed, Historical Society,

The cardinal rule for select-
ing a fence, as well as be-
ing practical of course, is to
ensure that it compliments
your home. For example,
erecting a modern fence
around a heritage property
is not a good look and vice
versa.
Do your research, there
are a plethora of websites
out there that can help you
to compare different op-
tions and get a few quotes
if repairs or construction is
required.
You’ll need to take into ac-
count the height and perim-
eter required, durability and
maintenance requirements
and budgetary constraints.
Popular materials include
wood, vinyl, aluminium,
steel, wrought iron and
brushwood.
For major repairs and new
fences, you will also need
to consult your neighbour
or neighbours. The Fence
Act outlines rules around
who pays for a fence, the
nature of fence to be built,
notices required and dispute
resolution.
Generally, neighbours will
share the cost of boundary
fence and the best case sce-
nario is that you both agree
informally on the type of
fence, contractor, cost and lo-
cation. If you can’t reach an
agreement informally, you
may need to follow the pro-
cesses detailed in the Fences
Act. Councils and Govern-
ment are exempt from the
requirement to share the
cost of a fence so if you bor-
der public land, you will pay
the full cost of any required
divider.

Darley downs Marsh in T20 final

By Todd Whelan
The long-awaited battle between town
rivals Bacchus Marsh and Darley had
finally arrived on the Australia Day
Monday holiday for the first time in
16-years, in the final of the Central
Highlands T-20 Competition.
While it would be Darley that would
prevail by just 18-runs in the pictur-
esque, countryside surroundings of
Willow Park, Hepburn, the result ran a
distant second to the acknowledgement
and minute silence given to Bacchus
Marsh lifetime clubman and stalwart,
Brandon Watson in the pre match who
recently succumbed to his ongoing bat-
tle with cancer.
Watson was just 33 years old.
Darley coach Mick Alexander was the
first to concede that, while the result
was a positive one for his chargers, the
week’s events leading in (the loss of
Watson) put cricket and its outcomes
into perspective.
“Sure (it was), a great result for the club
but obviously cricket is secondary to
the tough times of the Bacchus Marsh
Cricket Club,” he said.
“On the cricket itself, I thought we
played tough and in the right spirit as
a great unit together.
“We executed really well with the
bat; thought we were quite smart and
measured considering they bowled
very well in the power play,” Alexander
said.
“(Our bowling) we executed well at
times, but bowled too many ‘four’ balls
and went away from our plans early.
“They also batted well in the first
ten overs.....thereafter we were able to
absorb pressure, execute better and as a
result were able to take regular wickets.
“Wickets will always halt momentum.”
Alexander said.
Bacchus Marsh drew first blood,

winning the toss and sending Darley
into bat, a decision that Darley later
conceded that, given the option, they
would have done the same given their
success chasing runs in 20-20 this
season.
Darley’s West Indian import and
cavalier style opening bat Danza Hyatt
top scored with 74, and really had the
scoreboard ticking over after the Lions
cautious opening 10 overs returned
1/63. Hyatt combined with English
import Rick Moore to put on 96 for the
second wicket in good time to have
the Marsh on the backfoot for the first
time for the afternoon. Moore (42),
showed his class and exemplary skill
set with boundaries to all parts, the
most impressive his go-to ramp shot
when boundaries became a premium
in amidst the spread field.

shanka Ekanayaka was the economi-
cal pick of the bowlers with 1/13 from

This week’s training session, to be held on Thursday from
4.00-5.00pm, will be solely concentrating on High Jump
technique.  The aim of the session will be to give athletes the
confidence to attempt jumping the bar, initially using a flexi
bar for this.  Also to develop the basic take off requirements
and determine the preferred take off leg for athletes.  And
finally develop the correct landing position.

Line honours by a country mile

By Cody Winnell and Michael Howard

THEY ran and they ran, and they ran, and Tiger Tara was simply better than them.
That was Saturday’s Del-Re National A.G. Hunter Cup in a nutshell, as the Kevin Pizzuto-
trained wonder horse from New South Wales added Victoria’s most prestigious Grand Circuit
trophy to his cabinet at Tabcorp Park Melton.
The eight-year-old stallion already boasts the silverware from this season’s Pryde’s EasiFeed
Victoria Cup and TAB Inter Dominion Grand Final.
And he didn’t just win those races either; he blitzed his opposition. All up, his accumulated
winning margin for the three classics is 41.1m.
“He’s an amazing animal and he deserves everything this horse,” Pizzuto said.
“They said the horse wasn’t at his best tonight … but I told them he was. And he was.”
Tiger Tara started $1.90 favourite and won by a whopping 14.5 metres in a new track record
mile rate of 1:53.2, smashing his own previous mark by 0.7secs.
“He’s an absolute pleasure to be a part of,” winning reinsman 25-year-old Todd McCarthy
said.
“All credit to the horse and Kevin, who does such a great job with this horse.”
Tabcorp Park Saturday 2nd February, Race 7 Hunter Cup (Group 1). Winner: Tiger Tara (3).
Our Uncle Sam finished second, making it the same quinella as the ID18 final, while San Trainer: Kevin Pizzuto. Driver: Todd McCarthy. Photos: Stuart McCormick
Carlo ran on hard for third ahead of warhorse veteran Flaming Flutter and the fast-finishing
Buster Brady.
A perfectly timed swoop delivered Team Teal its first Victorian Group 1 when Kima Frenning
guided Big Jack Hammer to the Hygain V L Dullard Cup on Saturday night.
A plan paid off for trainer David Aiken, Frenning and owner Domenic Martello with the
popular victory reward for an outstanding campaign by the six-year-old gelding.
“It’s crazy,” Frenning said.
“He’s been racing so well during the Inter Dominion campaign, I think his best runs have
definitely been off the speed and he proved that tonight. He’s a super quick horse and really
consistent.”
Frenning was able to implement plan A, conceding the lead to Gavin Lang and Save Our
Pennys and then biding her time while others boxed on.
Outside the leader Temporale and then Red Hot Tooth punched the breeze, but come the
final straight none could muster the speed of Big Jack Hammer, who emerged down the
sprint lane to score by 1.8m.
“Now that he’s up in class a bit he’s probably best driven off the speed,” Frenning said.
“He’s a super consistent horse, (Aiken) has done a really good job with him, Domenic’s given
me so many opportunities. This is crazy.”
