The local derby is Round 1 of the Ballarat Football
Netball Club 2018 season and will see Bacchus Marsh
take on cross town rivals Darley, in a re-match of
the 2017 grand final where Darley claimed the
premiership flag.
BFL Chairman John Seeary said this season is the
most exciting year yet.
“The 2018 season will be another remarkable year,
especially as we enter the 125th year of competition.
“We have a sixth senior netball competition, E Grade,
and our junior teams and clubs continue to grow,” he
said at the launch of the BFL season on Friday 13 April.

Centenary March
By Helen Tatchell
ANZAC Day is always April 25, but the Sunday
before in Bacchus Marsh is when the RSL hold
their parade.
Leaving the Bacchus Marsh hospital cark park
in Grant street at 2pm on Sunday 22 April, the
Centenary March will proceed to the Village
Green in Main street next to the RSL Memorial
Hall.
Bruce Lawton (BM RSL Sec/Tres) said the
afternoon would also include a free concert.
“After the commemorative service there will be
an afternoon tea with a small concert to enjoy.
“An ANZAC Centenary Tribute ‘We Will
Remember Them’, will be performed by the
Sunbury Choral Association,” Mr Lawton said.
A Dawn Service will be held on the morning
of Wednesday 25 April at 5.45am at the Village
Green, near the cenotaph in Main street Bacchus
Marsh.
“A Gunfire breakfast will be provided by
the local SES for those up early to enjoy,” Mr
Lawton said.
“A small dedication service will follow where a
WWI Red Ensign Flag will be presented to the
people of Bacchus Marsh by the Rotary Club.”

Another
amendment
ready to
exhibit
By Kate Taylor
A piece of tidy-up work, the Planning Scheme
Amendment C86 is another step closer to
adoption.
Councilors voted at the March council meeting
to seek authorisation from the Planning
Minister to prepare and exhibit the amendment
– and affected landowners will be notified
thanks to an additional condition proposed by
West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan.
The amendment is set to correct a number of
errors and anomalies that have been identified
in the planning scheme.
“Council officers occasionally receive
queries from public authorities and private
parties regarding errors and anomalies in the
Moorabool Planning Scheme,” read a report
tabled at the meeting.
“Most of these are for fairly minor matters. In
such cases, parties are typically advised that
the matter may be eligible for inclusion in a list
of errors and anomalies to be corrected via a
future planning scheme amendment.
“This saves Council and the public resources,
because the alternative would be for a
large number of private planning scheme
amendments to be lodged for very minor
matters related to zoning, overlays or planning
schedules.”
Combining a large number of minor matters
into one amendment will minimise the impact
on the resources of council’s Strategic Planning
and Development Unit.
The report noted that currently, a number
of properties are incorrectly zoned which
prejudices the orderly planning, use and
development of the land.
“In some cases, privately owned land is
incorrectly included in a public land zone,
while in other cases publicly owned land is
included in a private zone, either partially or
wholly. Most of the latter cases relate to assets
owned by Central Highlands Water (such as
water tanks) proposed to be included under the
Public Use Zone 1.”
In addition to zoning errors/anomalies, there
are some cases where the Heritage Overlay has
also been applied to the incorrect land.
“Based on the number and significance of the
errors, anomalies and miscellaneous matters
identified to date, officers have deemed it an
appropriate time to pursue this amendment.”

Footy on the
airwaves
By Jessica Howard

Cross town football rivals Darley and Bacchus Marsh will receive equal
airtime on Apple 98.5fm this season.
The community radio station will cover the two football and netball
teams equally, with all home games broadcast live throughout the Ballarat
Football League season.
Bill Mansell, Apple 98.5 Secretary and Treasurer, said it was a huge
decision to give the BFL coverage a shake-up.
“For a number of years, we have been doing Match of the Round, where
we co-broadcast with Melton,” he said.
“That meant we were often broadcasting two Ballarat teams, or two
Melton teams; so this year we decided to just really focus on our town”.
Mr Mansell said the schedule created by Apple 98.5fm meant both teams
received equal air time.
“The way this year’s fixture works is that sometimes the two teams play
at home together, both away in Ballarat or both at home in Bacchus Marsh.
We have therefore made the decision of which team we would choose for
that match, with both teams receiving the same amount of broadcasting
time”.
The broadcasting team consists of Todd Whelan, an experienced
broadcaster from multiple different stations; Wayne Miller from Apple
98.5fm, Bill Lucas and students from Ballarat Grammar School.
“We decided to put a call out for any students who may be interested in
sports journalism, or anything else in the field,” Mr Mansell said.
“We got a few responses back and a couple of students from Grammar
will be helping; one will work in the box and the other will be on the
ground, and if they want to swap they can. This will be a good experience
for them as they can get right into the game, taking scores for both football
and netball, and sticking the microphone in the face of the coach when
they can”.
The live broadcast will kick off with the senior grand final replay between (L-R) Bill Lucas and Moorabool News’ sports writer Todd Whelan are ready to broadcast on Apple 98.5fm the

Taskforce on
the radar
By Kate Taylor

An Economic Development Taskforce will

officially be created in Moorabool.
Councilors voted at the April 4 council
meeting to put the taskforce in place to
attract investment and jobs into the shire.
“The role of the EDT would be to have
oversight of economic development
objectives, and to provide advice on
the development, promotion and
implementation of strategies and
initiatives,” read a report tabled at the
meeting.
“This would include the identification and
development of investment opportunities.”
Councillors agreed to adopt a council-led
EDT as opposed to one led by industry
leaders, and the EDT committee is set
to include three councillors, the CEO, at
least one high-ranking manager, and the
economic development co-ordinator.
At the first meeting the EDT members will
determine the key focus for the next 12
months.
In terms of cost, the report outlined that it
will involve hosting six-monthly breakfast
VG1445

meetings ‘to inform the business community

of the work of the EDT’, in addition to “The
establishment of the EDT will incur both
operational and strategic expenses.”
“Additional expense will be generated
through the development of initiatives to
achieve strategic goals established by the
EDT. Future reports will address the budget
requirements based upon the determined
program,” the report read.

Reflecting, five decades on

By Jessica Howard

It’s been half a century since Cherrison Lawton joined the Women’s Royal
Australian Air Force.
The Bacchus Marsh RSL President was just 19-years-old and living in
Rockhampton in Queensland at the time.
She underwent a six-week rookie course before being transferred to the
central photographic establishment in Laverton, Victoria.
“I spent three years in the force as an air photo plotter,” she said.
“In those days, the photos were taken and used to see where the planes
had travelled and whether or not they had hit their targets. Some of the
plotting was also used for map making”.
Mrs Lawton said she was encouraged by her father to join the force in
1968.
“Both my father and grandfather were serviceman, so it was always
something that I was quite interested in,” she said.
“I think there was also a sense of wanting to go out into the big wide
world, which I did, and being in the force really made you feel like you
were doing something worthwhile.
“I met and trained with a number of really inspiring women and it was
a pretty huge thing to leave home and travel around and meet so many
people”.
Mrs Lawton attended a reunion for the Women’s Royal Australian Air
Force in Adelaide from April 6 to 8.
“This was my first reunion and I thought it would be a special one for me
to go to, considering it had been 50-years for me,” she said.
“It actually turned out to be even more special than expected because I
caught up with one of the girls that I actually joined the force and did all
my training with. I didn’t even know she was coming, so that was really
exciting”.
Mrs Lawton said the WRAAF Reunion was a wonderful experience, filled
with lots of re-connecting and sharing old memories.
“Even though some of the ladies and I had been apart for all those years,
we connected straight away. I think when you share the same vision and
experiences, you really do feel united.
“On a personal level, 50-years was a point of celebration for me. It is
important to reflect and appreciate that what you did back then was
important, and that it shaped your life. It is important to celebrate your Bacchus Marsh RSL President Cherrison Lawton attended a recent reunion in South Australia – 50-years
milestones”. since joining the Australian Air Force. Photo – Helen Tatchell

Awards evolve
into training
By Jessica Howard
The glitz and glamour of the Business Excellence Awards may be
over, but the Ballan and District Chamber of Commerce is still
working hard to help grow Moorabool businesses.
A post-awards Initiative Program commenced on March 15 to
provide the business community with basic sessions featuring
experts and training organisations from within the Shire.
The first session was held in Bacchus Marsh and focused on
government incentives for employers looking to take the next step in
growing their business.
Bacchus Marsh employment agency MatchWorks was the presenter.
Ballan and District Chamber of Commerce Committee Secretary,
Angie Colliver said the broad training program appeals to businesses
at all levels and in all industries.
“The feedback so far has been terrific, with attendees signing up to
several sessions at a time,” she said.
“We have each attendee complete an evaluation form to assist us in
ensuring we are providing constructive material that can be used
immediately in their day to day business lives, which has been rating
highly to date”.
Ms Colliver said Moorabool Shire Council had joined with the
Ballan & District Chamber of Commerce and the Business Excellence
Awards to support the program as part of their ongoing Economic
Development Initiatives to benefit business owners in the Shire.
The free sessions will run at Council Offices in Ballan and Bacchus
Marsh on a regular basis until November.
Registration is required prior to each session. Minimum attendees
for each session is four with a maximum of 10-12 people.
For more information, contact Angie Colliver on 0409 996 393 or

HAVE YOUR SAY: BALD HILL ACTIVATION PROJECT
Closing date for your feedback is 20 April 2018.
Council is currently investigating potential future uses of Bald Hill Reserve and is
seeking community feedback to guide a feasibility study across the reserve.
In February 2018, Council undertook a scoping study of Bald Hill, with the aim of
turning the reserve into a positive asset for the community.
In summary, some of the potential future uses of the site discussed within the scoping
study group are:
– A shared trail network that incorporates:
• Lookout and viewing locations
• Art and interpretational signage
• Lower intensity cycling options
• Trail, higher intensity running and fitness
– A dedicated mountain biking facility
– A walking trail on the eastern face of the hill similar to the 1000 steps trail in the
Dandenong Ranges.
Council is seeking feedback and gauging community support for the potential future
uses of Bald Hill that have been identified within the scoping study.
An online questionnaire is now open for the public to provide its views on the ideas
presented in the study.This questionnaire, along with the completed Bald Hill Activation
Project - Scoping Study, can be found at:

Roadworks to improve the drive Bacteria closes Pykes

By Jessica Howard
The Pykes Creek Reservoir Bridge is well on
its way to being significantly strengthened,
thanks to a $4 million upgrade.
Member for Buninyong, Geoff Howard
inspected works on the bridge, located on
the Western Freeway, on Friday, April 6.
Works include strengthening of the
Melbourne-bound bridge beams, concrete
deck, improved drainage and removal and
replacement of asphalt road surfacing.
“The Western Freeway is one of Victoria’s
busiest arterial roads carrying around 25,000
vehicles each day between Melbourne and
Ballarat,” Mr Howard said.
“The upgrade will ensure that the freeway
continues to support our local economy as
the key transport corridor for commuters,
business and freight.
“The project is part of over $10 million
that’s being invested by the Andrews Labor
Government toward major upgrades and
maintenance works that are underway on
roads in Moorabool.”
Other investments include $2.4 million
for the Gisborne Road and Holts Lane
intersection in Bacchus Marsh; $3.04 million
toward the upgrade of Halletts Way; and
over $500,000 for road resurfacing at the
Western Freeway at Ballan and at two
sections of the Old Western Highway at Old
Anthony’s cutting.
Mr Howard said the improvements will
provide a smoother and more reliable
journey for those who live and work in the
area and depend on local roads each day.
“The Andrews Government is delivering
more funding than ever before to make our
regional roads safer,” he said.
“I want to thank the community for their
patience while these important works are
underway”.
By Jessica Howard
Water enthusiasts will have
to find somewhere else to
swim, boat and fish follow-
ing the temporary closure of
Pykes Creek Reservoir.
High levels of bacteria have
been detected in the popular
reservoir, which was tempo-
rarily shut down on Tuesday
(April 10).
Southern Rural Water,
which manages the reser-
voir, confirmed that E. Coli
was detected during weekly
testing.
E. Coli is a type of bacteria
that usually lives in the in-
testines of people and can
cause pneumonia, vomiting,
diarrhea and fever.
“Southern Rural Water’s
priority is the safety of users
and ongoing and increased
testing will ensure the res-
ervoir is re-opened when it
is safe,” a spokesperson told
The Moorabool News.
“The cause is unknown at
this stage but more extensive
testing is being carried out to
provide information regard-
ing the potential source”.
Since the closure, Western
Water has released a state-
ment assuring the Myrniong
community that their drink-
ing water is safe.
“The treatment process at
Myrniong Water Filtration
Plant includes a multi-bar-
rier approach which ensures
drinking water safety and
quality for local residents,”
the statement read.
“Additionally, testing prior
to and after treatment is un-
dertaken on a daily basis.
“Southern Rural Water
advised it was temporarily
closing Pykes Creek Reser-
voir to recreational users
today due to water quality
concerns on the ramp side of
the reservoir”.
It is not the first time South-
ern Rural Water has tempo-
rarily closed the reservoir
this year, with elevated
levels of E. Coli detected in
February too.

Clash of
the locals By Todd Whelan
210 days is a long time in footy.
But I can guarantee you one thing; the cross-town rivalry
between BFL heavyweights Bacchus Marsh and Darley is
healthy, as robust as ever, and here to stay.
The two clubs will face off in the season opener and Grand
Final replay this Saturday afternoon (April 21) at Maddingley
Park.
With a huge crowd anticipated, this local derby will be
nothing short of a finals experience.
The Darley Devils hold bragging rights, they are the reigning premiers. But the once
hunters are now the hunted.
Both teams are laden with quality, top-end talent. On paper, the match-ups are mouth
watering but it’s the one over the fence, from the coaches box, that could well prove
the difference.
Darley premiership coach Heath Scotland is pumped for 2018, a tilt at back-to-back
flags in just his second year at the helm.
The return of star recruits and former premiership players Steven Kennedy (Altona),
Jake Edwards (Geelong VFL) and Ryan Closter (work absence) to the club poses an
ominous warning to the competition and to the more immediate Cobras.
The Devils also snared talented big man Dillon Reid (Pascoe Vale) to help share the
ruck load with the improving Abe Kur.
But they weren’t without loss.
Chris Graham to (Springbank), Zak Butters (Western Jets), Kyle Docherty (Mt Eliza),
Drew Edwards (retired) have moved on while the playing future of Heath Scotland is
on hold (for now) as the focus leans toward solely coaching.
Jake Ancrum (inj) and Mark Hanson (work) will also miss the season opener.
Bacchus Marsh coach Travis Hodgson heads into his third successive year in charge,
coming off a Runners-up 2017 season and a drought breaking premiership win 2016.
An aggressive off-season search to bolster their stocks was inevitable for the Cobras
given the loss of key players Jarrah Maksymow (work), Matt Denham (Melton), Dean
Heta (Albury) and Jethro Calma-Holt.
Enter key forwards Jacob Owen (Williamstown) and Aaron Willits (Epping) who have
impressed in the pre-season matches with their run, aerial and long kicking ability.
Add ball magnets Ben Speight (Wangaratta), Jacob Chiasari (Williamstown) and in-
house recruit Trent Angwin (fit) into the mix, there looks plenty of upside for the
Cobras.
Impressive local product Harrison KIng (Werribee) has nominated the Marsh as his
go-to club when available. It’s an exciting “watch this space” prospect for the club.
Jackson Bolton (inj) and Liam Noonan (overseas) will both miss.
Improving flexibility, players who can play multiple positions, more forward options
and becoming a better kicking team was the steely focus in the pre-season for Hodgson.
Time will be the judge.
An opportunity to plant an indelible footprint early on the competition looms large,
a statement on just who has arrived will be the likely narrative - the hunters or the
hunted...
See you at the footy!
Round 1 Preview
Todd Whelan has some last-minute questions for
Bacchus Marsh coach Travis Hodgson and Darley
coach Heath Scotland as they head into Round 1 of
the BFL 2018 season.
Todd: What can we expect your team to bring to the table?
Heath: We’ve evolved a game plan to be stronger defensively and
create more opportunity forward to hit the scoreboard.
Travis: A fiercely competitive side which applies a lot of pressure
which has been our trademark over the last couple of seasons, and
hopefully one that moves the footy a bit better than previous years.
Todd: How is your list shaping up for Round 1?
Heath: Not sure to be honest, we had plenty of senior players
missing in our practice matches (0-3). We haven’t had a full list to
choose from to date including our three new players. But given that Travis Hodgson.
we’ll have no excuses, we’re ready to go.
Travis: I haven’t any doubt it’s better than the previous two seasons.
Todd: Do you believe in home ground advantage?
Heath: I like to coach with a game plan suited to the conditions. Last
year at Maddingley Park was a bad time for us, we had an ordinary
month. I don’t concede too much disadvantage playing away given
you have the right mindset.
Travis: Yeah I do. We were pretty convincing at home and we didn’t
get near them (Darley) at theirs. Add to that greater home support,
the comfort playing at home and the difference in the grounds. We
found it a lot harder to defend on Darley’s bigger, rounder oval.
Todd: What do you consider to be Bacchus Marsh strengths? Heath Scotland.
Heath: They’re a quality side, well coached with plenty of depth
and they’re always throwing up challenges. They were stung last year so I’m sure they’ll be 50 per
cent more hungry like we were last year - we’ll be aware of that mindset and their desire.
Todd: Who are Darley players to be wary of?
Travis: Brian Graham is a star and Shane Page gave us a bit of grief from a wing with his intercept
marking (last year). (Luke) Delahey’s pace and their half back line too were a concern for us.
Todd: What will Darley miss the most with the absence of Heath Scotland as a player?
Travis: On-field leadership as much as anything, his ability to kick and direct the troops. I just
think he just made everyone around him better.
Todd: What’s the likelihood of you playing at all this season - at least qualifying for finals?
Heath: None at this stage, I’m happy taking a step back watching the senior players take on greater
on-field leadership responsibilities while the focus continues into the development of the younger
players. But as a lover of football and playing games, you never say never.
Todd: Team to beat in 2018?
Heath: Bacchus Marsh
Travis: Darley
