By Helen Tatchell
A political election promise has been
confirmed in the State Budget that will
see $3m injected into an ageing sporting
facility.
The Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas
confirmed the Redevelopment funding
at a gathering at the Ballan Recreation
Reserve, alongside Member for
Buninyong Michaela Settle, Moorabool
Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell and Council
representatives and user group
members, but don’t get too excited –
the Treasurer was “just visiting” on his
way to Ballarat and no announcement
to when the funding or the project will
begin, has been officially declared.
President of the Recreation Reserve
Billy Smith said the pavilion and
out-buildings were in dire need of a
redevelopment.
“The current clubrooms and facilities
were built in the 1970s, so this is fabulous
news for a growing community like
Ballan,” he said.
Mr Pallas said the great thing about
being in public life is making promises
and delivering on them.
“We promised 12-months ago, if elected,
we would put this in place.
“Alongside Council and the seven-user
groups, an enormous amount of work
has been done to get to this stage.
“As a government we recognise the
need to increase participating in sport,
which brings together a lot of people
and keeps communities together and
engaged,” Mr Pallas said.
Bowling Club President Mick Conroy
acknowledged the “great initiative”
from State government.
“This brings Ballan in to the 21st-
century and will encourage increased
participation within the community,
across all demographics,” he said.
Mr Pallas thanked Moorabool Council
for their commitment to the project.
“Council has partnered with us, and
this project shows what can happen
when community groups lobby and
work together with local and state
governments.”
A media release from the Treasurer
in May this year stated the $3m was to
deliver a ‘major redevelopment of the
Ballan Recreation Reserve’, no specifics
have been forthcoming. The release also
stated, “this year’s Budget also includes
$500,000 in funding for the 1st Ballan
Scout Hall.”

A century-old elm tree that struck and
killed a woman in Melbourne last month
has raised concerns regarding the safety of
Bacchus Marsh’s Avenue of Honour.
The 106-year-old English Elm tree, believed
to be planted in 1913 along Royal Parade in
Princes Park, was of a similar species and age
to those planted on the Avenue of Honour.
The Canadian and Huntington Elms that
line the east entrance to Bacchus Marsh are
just over a century old.
A spokesperson for Moorabool Shire
Council told the Moorabool News in
a statement that “ground and aerial
inspections of all trees within the Avenue
of Honour are undertaken on a three-yearly
cycle by qualified arborists,” and that the
trees “are also visually inspected after severe
weather events.”
“The trees are inspected using the
Quantified Tree Risk Assessment Method.
This method provides a decision framework
which considers the balance between the
benefits provided by trees and the levels of
risk they pose.”
The spokesperson also said that Council
“has recently completed a tree assessment
within the Avenue of Honour and is
currently programming remedial works to
address defects identified, and undertaking
tree removals where recommended.”
According to Moorabool Shire’s Urban
Tree Management Policy, ‘tree removal
may be required to ensure public health
and safety, protect infrastructure, facilitate
approved development and infrastructure
improvements,’ and ‘trees will only be
removed after investigation and assessed for
removal by Council’s arborist, appropriately
trained Council staff or a Council-engaged
independent arborist on a ‘case by case’
basis.’
Council has replaced 49 trees along the
designated and non-designated sections of
the Avenue of Honour within the last decade.
Many of these were the result of trees being
in poor condition or failures, and all were
replaced by grafting new trees from existing
trees.
“Council is also developing a Bacchus
Marsh Avenue of Honour Management
and Conservation Plan with the objective of
ensuring the Avenue of Honour is effectively
managed and enhanced into the future as a
living memorial,” read the statement.
Associate professor Alison Milner died
from her injuries after being struck by a tree
in Princes Park at around 8.30am on Monday,
12 August.
She was taken to the Royal Melbourne
hospital in a critical condition but died soon
after arriving.

Instrumental extravaganza
By Meg Kennedy
Young people and those who are ‘young
at heart’ are encouraged to take part in an
upcoming concert by the Moorabool Light
Orchestra (MLO).
MLO will host a Young People’s Concert
next month in Bacchus Marsh, aimed to
allow children to experience the magic of live
orchestral music, as well as the opportunity
to partake in the concert with their own
home-made instrument.
The event will also be narrated by ABC 774
Mornings host Jon Faine.
MLO Musical Director Barry Wilkins said
the idea to recruit Mr Faine to be part of
the concert came after the MLO thought he
would make a good choice to narrate the two
major pieces.
“[We made contact] via email with an
invitation, to which he readily and promptly
accepted,” said Mr Wilkins.
Mr Faine told the Moorabool News that
he “grew up with ‘Peter and the Wolf’ and
‘Carnival of the Animals’ and is “super
excited to be on the other end for this
performance.”
“I am always excited by grassroots
community events – they are the glue that
keeps communities working,” he said.
As well as classical pieces ‘Peter and
the Wolf’, ‘Carnival of the Animals’ and
Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812’ overture, the MLO are
set to perform a range of music, from the
‘Bugs Bunny’ theme, the soundtrack from
the 2007 film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At
World’s End’ and more.
Well done Darley, Bacchus Marsh and Maddingley.
More than 2000 of you have made the switch to
ebilling.
Ebilling is convenient and reduces paper waste,
making it better for the environment.
If you haven’t made the switch already,

The Moorabool News – 3 September, 2019 Page 5
Mr Wilkins said the MLO “always try to
cater for a wide range of ages, as music is a
universal language, but it is not always easy
to engage younger members of the audience
in classical music.”
Young people are also encouraged to
make their own novelty instruments from
materials at home to bring along to the
concert.
Those who bring their home-made
instruments will be able to play along
with the orchestra in the second half of the
program.
Household items that can be used to create
instruments include wooden spoons, a
funnel and a corrugated pipe for a French
horn, and small Christmas bells.
“Children are very creative…a lot of ‘home-
made’ novelty instruments seem to be in the
percussion area, something they can ‘bang’,
but there have been some novelty ideas
emerging on other items that can ‘blow’ or
‘scrape’,” said Mr Wilkins.
The MLO Young People’s Concert will be
held on Sunday, 15 September at 2pm in the
Bacchus Marsh Public Hall.
Tickets are (adults) $25; children aged
16&under - free.
Tickets will be available at the door on the
day of the performance, or by phoning 5367
2070. Tickets can also be purchased at 185
Main St, Bacchus Marsh.
For more information on the concert, visit
the MLO website. Current ABC 774-radio personality and presenter Jon Faine will be the guest narrator at the
MLO concert to be held on Sunday 15 September. Photo – www.abc.net.au (ABC Melbourne)

Footy boss goes to the dogs

By Todd Whelan

AFL Goldfields Regional General Manager Rod Ward is

leaving his position, after 17-years at the helm.
Ward, 50 sat down with the Moorabool News sports reporter
Todd Whelan, to reflect on his career in the AFL’s Regional
system before he embarks on the next chapter of his life as
General Manager with the Ballarat Greyhound Racing Club.
TODD: Why have you decided to resign from your position?
ROD: I just think it’s time for a new challenge. This new
position provides an ideal opportunity to refresh and
reinvigorate myself.
TODD: What has been the most rewarding aspect or feature
during your time in the role?
ROD: Sustained growth across the various competitions,
I think. (For example), there were four underage football
groups when I started and now there are 10. On the netball
front there were three senior netball grades, now there are
six.
TODD: How difficult is it to ‘share the love’ evenly across
the four leagues under the AFL Goldfields banner - I refer to
funding, relevance and validation?
ROD: It hasn’t been that hard - just focus on the highest
priority and attend to the areas with the greatest need. We’ve
always been willing to provide assistance to any organisation
that has asked for help.
TODD: How would you describe the current off field

Going green, in more ways than one

By Meg Kennedy

After its greens were almost destroyed by salty bore water and drought, Ballan
Bowling Club has been given the opportunity to have year-round green grass.
The lawn bowls Club was recently granted $100,000 from Moorabool Shire Council
for a new synthetic green, as part of Council’s Community Development Fund.
The news comes as club members have worked tirelessly since March to get the
grounds back up to a playing standard, with many volunteer-run working bees
held, and donations made, in preparation for next month’s 2019/20 pennant season.
Bowling Club President Mick Conroy said the artificial grass will help make the
club “an all-year round facility for the community.”
As the club is closed for five-months of the year, Mr Conroy said it allows for more
community involvement on the grounds.
“We wanted to utilise the club more…through the Moorabool Shire community
grants, [the club] wants to be more active and progressive and to get more
community involvement,” he said.
As well as opening more opportunities for the community, Mr Conroy said the
artificial grass is also environmentally friendly.
“Our impact on the environment will be less, with less water, less chemicals on
the system, and water can be used elsewhere,” he said.
Mr Conroy said the grant will mark “a new direction” for the club after a
tumultuous year.
“We are trying to utilise the grounds with more members, but mostly for more
community groups to use it, and for more participation from across the Moorabool
Shire.”
Construction for the new turf will begin in late-April 2020.
The upcoming season is still on schedule and begins on 21 September.

2nd Elimination Finals
We had the rug pulled right out from under us on Saturday with Redan handing out a brutal lesson.
The Devils’ season is over and we will now have plenty of time to reflect on what could have been
for our 100th Season at the Best Club Ever!
The Reserves showed how it was done by beating 3rd placed Lake Wendouree to go into the next
step of their finals campaign.
FOOTBALL
Reserves
This was almost an unlikely victory for the determined Twos. Just sneaking into 6th spot in the last
round, we faced a Lakers side who have had a solid year. Conversely, the Devils have struggled
for numbers for most of the season and have relied on a fair few past players to help out. Our final
side wasn’t determined until late as we struggled with selection. To top it off our big-bodied gun,
Kyle Doyle was a late withdrawal due to a family bereavement. (Our thoughts are with Kyle and
his family.)
But we came out to play! Leading by example again, Coach Ross Gundry played all over the ground
and ran and jostled, determined to set the scene for a win. Jordan Spiteri, showed his class and
his 2018, senior-side experience in an un-flustered BOG performance. Jessee Pattison’s run was
too much for the Lakers and the Holt brothers – Ben and Sam - dug in, in true Darley fashion. Kirk
Fenton was superior in the back line and Lachy Herring showed a tough, hard style that eclipsed
the opposition mid-fielders. All in all, a gutsy performance to progress through to next week.
Darley 0.3, 3.6, 3.8, 5.15 (45) d Lake Wendouree 0.1, 1.2, 3.6, 4.9 (33)
GOALS: J. Spiteri 1, J. Pattison 1, S. Hitchings 1, B. Layton 1, L. Herring 1
BEST: J. Pattison, K. Fenton, J. Spiteri, D. Locke, S. Holt, B. Holt.
Seniors
We let the season slip through our fingers on Saturday with our first home-ground defeat in 16
games. This was a miserable finale to a great but hard season where we struggled for commitment
and numbers. The Devils have been propped up by our youngsters for much of the season and
yes, we have had our injuries. But on Saturday we were out-muscled, out-played and out-classed
by the Lions who beat us all over the ground. An early Mad-Monday was not what we had hoped
for this year (especially,) but this fantastic footy side and their great, great coach – Heath Scotland
– won’t have lost any fans. The Darley Army salutes you all and we recognise what a great bunch
you all are.
Thank you for the 2019 season Devils.

Devils
crash out
of finals
by Todd Whelan
Darley has proven no match
for an impressive Redan
in Saturday’s Elimination
Final, going down by 58
points. The result ends the
Devils dream of a Premier-
ship in their Centenary Year
and a run of 16 successive
wins at home.
Darley went into the game
as warm favourites but
never looked likely. The
travelling Lions ‘beat up’ the
Devils at their own game,
on their own deck to make
it to the last four, and week
two of the finals. Redan
welcomed back key big man
Orren Stephenson and mid-
fielder Lachie George to put
the writing on the wall early
with the first centre clear-
ance of the game. Stephen-
son 37, had missed the last
three encounters against the
Devils and wasted little time
making up for lost ground
dominating for the most
part, providing the Lions
with first use. Redan booted
the first goal of the game
against the breeze and (from
then) were never headed.
Darley had a disappointing
day at the office, and had
very few winners. Playing
Coach Heath Scotland was
the pick of the bunch, while
Brian Graham accumu-
lated the lion share of pos-
session. Leading forward
Jake Edwards (two goals,
five behinds) presented all
day and looked dangerous
but his shots on goal were
made more difficult with the
shallow nature of the Dev-
ils forward 50 entries and
the swirling breeze. Leigh
Spiteri provided the Devils
only other spark forward of
centre with a spirited second
half especially.
Trent Angwin competed
manfully in the ruck con-
ceding weight and size,
while usual suspects Shane
Page and Luther Baker left
nothing in the tank.
Ballarat Football Netball League
But this day belonged to
Redan. The shear emphatic
nature of the Lion’s win was
convincing to say the least as
the Devils struggled to find
any momentum. Darley was
denied back-to-back goals
all afternoon, making it im-
possible to impact a 41-point
half time deficit that would
become 58 at the final siren.
The Lions simply out-
worked the Devils. Not only
was their run and carry with
the ball superior, there was a
sizeable gulf in pressure and
numbers at the contest. The
Lions job was made easier
with their cleaner ball use
and overall efficiency while
the Devils looked strangely
out of sorts on Darley Park
for the first time in a long
Ballarat Junior Football League
time. At least Darley leaves
2019 with a clearer picture of
what they need to contend at
the pointy end in 2020.
The Devils can be proud of
their season despite a pre-
mature exit from the finals.
40 players represented the
club at senior level, includ-
ing 10 aged 19 and under.
The youth will be better for
the experience, and it won’t
be long until they’re influ-
encing games off their own
boot given the right guid-
ance. Coach Heath Scotland
has done a sterling job in his
three years in charge, fast
tracking their development.
You would think the Devils
would be aiming to hang on
to the former AFL stars’ ser-
vices for another crack at the
title in 2020.
East Point will host Melton
this Saturday in a replay of
the 2018 Second Semi Final
at City Oval while Sebas-
topol aim to bounce back
against Redan in a sudden
death First Semi Final on
Sunday.
