COMMUNITY & CORPORATE SUPPORT

Early Years

Kindergarten Enrolments Enrolments are now open for children wishing to attend 3 year old and 4 year old kindergarten programs in 2018. The online application process was very successful last year and will continue to be offered this year. Macarthur kindergarten currently has six children attending a 3 year old program so it’s hopeful a funded 4 year old program will be offered in 2018 after a year in recess. Early Years Professional Development On Friday 26 May, eight kindergarten teachers from Moyne Shire Council attended the ‘Together We Grow – the child in focus” conference held at Caulfield Racecourse. The conference was presented by the Early Learning Association of Australia in partnership with the Department of Education and Training. As a commitment to ensuring quality professional development is available to educators working in rural areas, the Department of Education and Training fully funded accommodation costs for all Moyne Shire participants.

Corporate Business & Tourism

Caravan Parks With the summer season peak over, our caravan parks are currently undertaking a reconciliation of performance of a strong peak visitor season. With a reduction in current park attendances, we are taking the opportunity to deliver a range of minor capital improvements before the depths of winter commence. This includes a tree pruning program, lighting upgrades, signage improvements and internal road upgrades. Port of Port Fairy Following positive engagement with Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, work is advancing on a new business plan for the Port, and a new formal management agreement for the next 5 years, in addition to business cases being prepared for the capital replacement of the Port’s dredge and for future remedial works to the Ports training walls.

A funding application to Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme was submitted to undertake upgrades to the Port’s ‘rocket shed’. The application was centred on works to support rising damp in the shed, which contains historical material related to the historic lifeboat.

Following appointment by Council of its next committees of council, work is being undertaken in planning the induction of the incoming Port Board, which will include ability to understand scope of responsibilities and to build upon the next Business Plan for the Port.

A reminder that updates on the Wharf Development construction program and associated announcements of key milestones of the project will be published on: www.moyne.vic.gov.au/waterfront Festivals and Events Applications are open for the next round of the Festivals and Events funding program are open. Following local advertising for applications, applicant ‘drop in’ support sessions have commenced to support groups plan and manage events and make application for funds. Sessions are being held from Port Fairy and Mortlake with offers for officers to travel to other areas of the municipality, by appointment, to ensure strong support and engagement of applicant’s access to support. Applications close Monday 12 June 2017. The local events program for June features on the following dates: 3 Small Halls Tour St. Brigid’s Hall, Crossley 9 - 12 Mortlake Art Show 9 Port Fairy Theatre Group Short Play Festival 10 Women in Song (2.30 pm Reardon Theatre) 10 Port Fairy Theatre Group Short Play Festival 11 Twilight Market, Port Fairy Consolidated School (4.00 – 7.30 pm) 11 Port Fairy Theatre Group Short Play Festival 11 Movie: Beauty and the Beast, Port Fairy Consolidated School Fundraising Event 18 Friends of Pallisters Reserve Open Day.

Visitor Services On 19 May at the quarterly meeting of the Visitor Information Centre (VIC) Volunteer Team, and on the back of National Volunteer Week, a well-deserved recognition of volunteers who have provided 5, 10 and 15 years of service was provided and three new volunteers were introduced.

The meeting was also an opportunity to update the team on the outcome of a recent volunteer survey process as we strive to improve the visitor experience at the VIC, but also the enjoyment of being a part of the volunteer program. Results of the survey will assist officers in improving the program and ensuring future quality volunteer recruitment and retention practises are implemented.

The survey validated what a wonderfully engaged and committed community Port Fairy maintains, with 90% of surveyed participants engaged in from two to five other volunteer roles in addition to their commitment to volunteering at the VIC.

Regulatory Services

Local Laws Registrations for domestic animals continue to be received. During the month of June Local Laws officers will commence calling owners of domestic animals who have failed to re-new their pet registration to remind them of responsible pet ownership. Local Laws are continuing to patrol all townships for roaming dogs to reduce the risk of potential dog attacks and to educate dog owners on responsible pet ownership. Of the 23 dogs found roaming, 21 of them where returned directly home to their owner. Of the 29 incidents involving stock on roads, 2 horses, 44 cattle and approximately 300 sheep were safely returned to farmer’s properties. Roadside grazing permit re-newels and Street Furniture/ Footpath permits will be mailed out in June and are due for payment by 30 June. Emergency Management The Municipal Emergency Response Officer (MERO) is involved in the joint Warrnambool and Moyne Emergency Management planning committee and subcommittees for; exercise/training, risk, recovery, fire and flood. The exercise subcommittee is developing emergency exercises including a Pandemic exercise to be held on Monday 24 July, and an extensive emergency exercise to be held at the Warrnambool Airport in September/October. There have been no significant emergencies in Moyne Shire in the past month. The Victorian State Government has announced a reform into fire services in Victoria and propose to separate volunteer fire fighters under the banner of CFA and paid fire fighters from MFB and CFA to form the new agency of Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV). This may result in future changes to the emergency management and fire committees that Council participate in. More information in regards to the reform can be found at: https://fireservices.vic.gov.au/

National Tree Day Council’s Official site for 2017 National Tree Day on Sunday 30 July 2017 is in Kirkstall, 200 metres East of the recreation reserve along the creekline that dissects Atkinson Street. Here 500 endemic trees and shrubs will be installed on the day in an attempt to link previous revegetation works that have occurred up and down stream. The event will be held between 10am-12pm with a free barbecue lunch supplied by members of the Kirkstall Recreation Reserve Committee of Management to all participants. Community members are being notified through various means and will be encouraged to attend. Koroit Basketball Stadium Lighting Upgrade 20 internal 400W high bay light fixtures at the Koroit stadium have been replaced with 150W LED light equivalents. These new fittings will save Council nearly 5 cents per light per operating hour in reduced electricity usage. This equates to a saving of around $31 per fixture each year in operational costs, plus the longevity of the light pads is stated to be much longer than the previous globes meaning there should also be an additional cost reduction in terms of ongoing maintenance. Council Building External Lights Upgrade 19 external 80W Mercury Vapour light fixtures across 10 Council buildings have been replaced with 18W LED light equivalents. These new fixtures will save Council $45 per light per year in reduced electricity usage, plus the longevity of the light pads is stated to be much longer than the previous globes meaning there should be an additional cost reduction in terms of ongoing maintenance. Sites where these fixtures were installed include the Koroit & Macarthur Senior Citizens clubrooms, The Koroit & Macarthur Council depots, Jacaranda House Koroit, Merri Kindergarten Purnim West, Port Fairy Bowls Club clubrooms and Port Fairy Football Club clubrooms. Weed Control Elm suckers were painstakingly removed from the Ellerslie Rest Area via cut & paste method. Boxthorn and Mirror Bush were removed from the river banks at Crothers (Hopkins Falls) Reserve. Boxthorn and re-shooting Willows were removed from Killarney Recreation Reserve. Gorse was removed from High Street Framlingham. Hawthorn and Pine wildings were removed from Bar-U Road Hawkesdale. Kikuyu regrowth at the community revegetation site near the Port Fairy skate park was sprayed. Griffiths Island The third fox shoot of the season was held on 13 May 2017 with no Foxes sighted. A working bee conducted by members of the Friends of Griffiths Island was held on 7 May 2017 with a focus on maintenance of heavily guarded trees and woody weed control. The next working bee is scheduled for 18 June 2017 at 10am to complete further weed work. The new lighthouse brochure has been finalised and will be printed in July 2017.

Battery Hill Volunteers from the National Trust Port Fairy Branch have reached the 100 man hours of labour treating Italian Buckthorn regrowth at Battery Hill milestone. Several greenwaste piles created by this and fallen tea tree was burnt in-situ on several days of convenient weather conditions during May 2017. Regeneration of native species at this location continues to impress with the heavily mulched area from 10 months ago starting to noticeably green over. Cannon Shelter at Battery Hill Officers have sought advice with regard to painting the cannon shelter at Battery Hill. Advice from the supplier is that left alone, it will dull within about 12 months. Painting it will likely create maintenance problems as it can peel and vandals scratch the paint work. The galvanising is already showing signs of dulling and is best left alone to allow this naturally occurring process to continue.

Resource Recovery and Waste Management

Council continues to support ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’ program ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’ is a free recycling program aimed at recovering used printer cartridges that the Moyne Shire Council participates in. This month, 7 garbage sized bags full of old printer cartridges was returned to Planet Ark to be recycled. Used printer cartridges are recycled into ‘eWood’, a timber replacement and ‘Toner Pave’, a low-carbon road surface. Waste Education Workshop with Sustainability Victoria Council’s waste department spent two days working with Sustainability Victoria in conjunction with various other Councils from around Victoria on Waste Education issues. As part of the new kerbside collection contract starting 1 July this year, Council is going to increase their education around waste disposal for ratepayers. Initial education will be based around the utilisation of the green lidded organics bin for the disposal of all food waste. Kitchen caddies and biodegradable bin liners will be provided to all residents on the Kerbside Waste Collection Service to assist with food waste disposal.

Rural Access

Rural Access recently organised a forum in Warrnambool which was attended by 32 representatives from 14 Men’s Sheds located throughout South West Victoria. Keynote speakers addressed issues relating to men’s health and the role Men’s Sheds can play in addressing these issues. Attendees provided reports on the many positive projects being undertaken by their Sheds. Representatives from the Port Fairy, Macarthur and Crossley Men’s Sheds were amongst those in attendance. Rural Access works with Men’s Sheds to assist them to be accessible and inclusive for all people, including people with a disability. The South Hurricanes (formerly Hampden Hurricanes), a team of footballers with a disability, recently travelled to Horsham for their first match of the season. They recorded a comfortable win against the Wimmera Whippets. A new team logo has been developed to reflect the fact that the team is now part of the South Warrnambool Football Netball Club, and new jumpers are on the way. Four Hurricanes players have been selected to try out for selection in a Vic Country team to compete in the 2017 National Inclusion Carnival to be held on the Gold Coast later this year.

Arts

Following several years of fundraising and preparation, the Friends of Griffiths Island have commenced the installation of the Shearwater Sculpture. The project is being overseen and supported by Moyne Shire. The sculpture, by Don and Sherril Stewart is representative of 10 short tailed shearwater birds and will interpret the return of the birds to their nests for visitors throughout the year, thus connecting the significance of the burrows around the island for nesting birds rather than rabbits. The design will be arranged into two groups of birds. The first will be of 5-6 birds on 3m high tapered tubing. The second will be 3 birds mounted on 5m tapered tubing and will be located at the entrance to Griffiths Island on either side of the entrance to the causeway in the car park. Stay tuned to www.artsatlassw.com.au for news and information on coming art events and information for the South West.

Words of Appreciation

Email from Lisette Mill, Secretary, Panmure Action Group Inc to David Madden, CEO – 15 May 2017 Dear David

We are working through a list of thanks for council officers who assisted with making Anzac Day in Panmure the great success it was. These have been sent to the people concerned directly. But in addition to this we would like to ask whether the following staff could be noticed from within council for their services to the community of Panmure this year, not just for Anzac Day.

They are: Craig Midgley, Geraldine Edar, Rob Stewart-Murray, Emma Moloney, Tracey Ripper, Stan Smith and Steve who organised the marquee and the crew who put it up ahead of Anzac day.

Happy to discuss further if you need any details of their star efforts.

Lisette Note from Lyn Eales, YUMCHA Brophy Family and Youth Services to Moyne Shire Staff - 19 May 2017 To Moyne Staff

Thank you for your amazing support and recognition during IDAHOBIT day 2017.

(International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia)

We thank you for the donation of $109 raised from your morning tea. Email from Andrea Greene to Jon Goodall, Risk Coordinator – 29 May 2017 Thanks so much for your help this morning in Koroit?!!!

Hi Jon

I just wanted to write to Thank you so much for helping me out this morning when my tyre blew in Koroit. As you promised the boys at The depot were very capable & sent me on my way with my spare tyre fitted within around 10 mins!!.. Saving me from arriving late to teach at Macarthur.

Rob Richardson (Mechanic from Koroit Depot) did most of the work & I tried to give him some cash, but he said he wasn't allowed to take it. I managed to give him some fantail lollies in a bag (which as a Casual Relief Teacher, I had on hand ready to "bribe" the kids at school). However, I really want to send them a slab of coke or something to say Thanks properly. Do you have any other ideas they would appreciate? If so, Please let us know.

Anyway, Thanks again for going out of your way to help. This made my day & reminded me why I love the country?!!

Cheers
