New leader puts people first

By Meg Kennedy

He once kicked a few goals in a VFL football career, now he

plans to kick a few more as the new face to lead local police
enforcement.
Inspector Damien Christensen is head of Victoria Police in
the Moorabool LGA, including the Hepburn and Golden
Plains areas.
Sitting down with Inspector Christensen at Bacchus Marsh
Police Station, he notes five priorities for his role; pointing
to a whiteboard listing the topics ‘People, OHS Compliance,
Crime and Traffic, Community Engagement, and Emergency
Management.’
“I have to have people first; we’ve got to make sure…I’ve
got fit and healthy people, trained people, the right amount
of people to roster and the right people in the right places,”
he said.
“We can’t go and tackle a problem if you don’t have resources
or the right resources, or you don’t have the capabilities to do
it.”
He insists that building relationships with local governments
and other bodies, such as VicRoads and the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS), is paramount.
“Externally, what I’m trying to build is relationships
with other partner agencies [to] identify issues within the
community and how, collectively, we could look at fixing
those problems – because they’re not all police problems,”
he said.
Road trauma has been a prevalent topic in Moorabool for
the last 12-months, an issue that Inspector Christensen is no Inspector Damien Christensen is the new area commander for Moorabool LGA. Photo – Meg Kennedy

Money isn’t too tight to mention at Moorabool Shire Council,
with the books looking good.
Council’s financial and performance statements for 2018-19
were put to the September 4 council meeting for adoption
and councillors voted to forward both to the state’s Auditor
General for sign-off.
East Ward Councillor John Keogh, a Member of council’s
Audit and Risk Committee, pointed out that the most recent
audit of council gave it a clean bill of health, adding that
it was the first time in the committee’s experience that the
Auditor General had not raised one single issue.
“This gives us great confidence that we have our own house
in order,” Cr Keogh told the meeting.
He said that he was heartened by many aspects of the
statements, including a strong income statement and a
healthy surplus.
“In the face of significant obstacles and challenges, our asset
renewal is greater than our asset depreciation – and that’s
very, very rare, especially for a regional council. It’s extremely
significant, and it’s a result of our tight fiscal management
because we have one of the lowest amounts of government
grants per head, out of the whole state,” Cr Keogh said
Councillors voted unanimously in favour of the motion to
send on the statements with the exception of councillors Pat
Toohey and Jarrod Bingham who were not at the meeting.

Magpies warbling is one of the most familiar and endearing sounds of
Australian wildlife, yet the whirring and whooshing sounds of a swooping
magpie approaching fills most with dread.
With spring now upon us, breeding season for native birds is underway, and
so the swooping of unsuspecting humans and their pets begins.
“Bird swooping is part of life in Australia, as we share our environment with
native wildlife,” said DELWP Grampians Regional Manager Compliance
Operations, Nathan MacDonald.
“Swooping occurs every year during breeding season and is largely a
defensive manoeuvre carried out by some male birds when we come within
close range of eggs or fledgling birds,” he said.
Although birds swoop to protect their young, it isn’t pleasant for anyone
caught in the crossfire, with swooping a possibility to cause injury.
“The swooping is seasonal, healthy bird behaviour and so, if possible, the best
response is to keep away from the area,” said Mr MacDonald.
It is also illegal to harm native birds and offences can result in fines or
imprisonment.
“It is up to us to co-exist peacefully with wildlife and respect it,” he said.
If you do end up in an area where there is a swooping bird, try to protect your
head and eyes and move quickly through the area.
Information about swooping birds can also be logged on DELWP’s Swoop
map.
Hotspots include in or around suburban parks with tall eucalypt trees.

bird map, visit delwp.vic.gov.au/environment-and-wildlife/wildlife/

Combatting
road trauma

Speeding was the highest road offence
committed in Moorabool, following a state-
wide Victoria Police operation to reduce road
trauma.
Operation Argus, which ran from 12.01am
Thursday 5 September to 11.59pm Sunday
8 September, was set up in response to
the significant number of people killed on
Victorian roads this year.

Undiagnosed mental health
issue causes burnout
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
“Get out of bed, find a
job and pull your weight,”
were the words Magistrate
Gregory Robinson said to a
Ballan man attending court
on Friday 6 September,
because of his driving
behaviour.
The accused, Arnold Beck, was
allegedly performing burnouts in
the early hours of March 27 along
Atkinson/Cowie street in Ballan.
Prosecutor Sergeant Michael
Patterson told the court witnesses
reported to police the accused had
“smoke and sparks coming from
the back of his vehicle [during the
burnouts]”.
It was alleged by the prosecution
that police attended Beck’s house
at 6:20am on March 27 where they
found the car used to perform the
burnouts in the accused’s garage.
Sergeant Patterson to the court that
the “tyres were warm to touch” and
a tyre was missing from the car,
according to police who attended
the scene.
Beck was subsequently taken to
the Bacchus Marsh police station
to undergo a breath test, which he
refused.
The prosecution said that upon
Beck’s refusal, police explained the
consequences of refusing a breath
test to him, to which the accused
refused again.
When interviewed by police, it
was alleged by the prosecution
that Beck said he was an “absolute
f***** d*******” and that he “didn’t
have a reason” for performing the
burnouts.
Beck’s lawyer told the court that her
client suffers mental health issues
which have gone undiagnosed
and urged the court to consider a
financial disposition.
“Don’t come in here and tell me
you’re depressed and that’s why you
were doing burnouts at 4:40 in the
morning while drunk,” Magistrate
Robinson said.
“You need to grow up. Get out of
bed, find a job and pull your weight,”
he said.
Beck was convicted and fined a
sum of $2000 with statutory costs of
$127.40. His licences were cancelled,
and he is disqualified from driving
for a period of two years.

Heath Scotland will leave the Darley Devils as senior football coach. Photo - Helen Tatchell
‘Proud’
Scotland
leaves Devils
By Todd Whelan
Darley Premiership Coach Heath Scotland
has parted ways with the club after three
years at the helm to further his career in a
development role with North Melbourne in
the AFL.
The former Darley junior reunited with the
Devils in 2017 as Playing Coach after 268
games with Collingwood and Carlton. The
impact of Scotland’s return was immediate,
taking the club to the promised land - a
Premiership in his first season of a three-year
contract. The Devils finished third and fifth
(after finals) respectively in the subsequent
years before Scotland pulled time on his
position.
“I’ve loved my time at the club,” he said.
“It reaffirmed my opinion that Darley is a
great club.
“It’s been a most rewarding time for me, I’ll
be sad leaving.”
Darley Football Manager Craig Baker could
not have spoken more highly of Scotland and
his impact on the club upon his departure.
“In our 2017 Premiership year when Heath
returned to the club, the excitement was
through the roof,” he said.
“Pre-season numbers at training were at an
all-time high, everyone just wanted to learn

“It was an honour to lead the club in its

While finding a new coach is now a priority

PERMIT
WITHDR AWN
By Meg Kennedy
After 12-months’ worth of heated debate,
Maddingley Brown Coal (MBC) has officially
backed out of a controversial application to
store household waste at its Tilleys Road site.
Moorabool Shire Council announced
on Tuesday, 10 September via a media
statement that MBC had withdrawn its
planning application to include household
(putrescible) waste in its landfill cells for
commercial purposes.
The application was due to be considered at
a Special Meeting of Council on Monday, 30
September.
“Council wishes to advise that a planning
application to use and develop land in
Tilleys Road, Maddingley as a landfill for
putrescible waste, has been WITHDRAWN
by the applicant,” said the statement.
“Council will not have the opportunity to
consider this now. We have no indication
as to whether the applicant will apply for
another planning amendment, but this is a
possibility.
We will continue to keep the community
informed of any developments, and wish
to thank everyone affected who took the
time to make submissions in regards to this
application,” it said.
MBC parent company Calleja Group
remained tight-lipped in the wake of the
news, failing to answer questions put
forward by the Moorabool News about the
reason behind the withdrawal.
In a replying statement, Calleja said that
“MBC has considered a range of additional
strategic uses for the site and these are
currently under assessment,” since the
application was first lodged to Council in
September 2018.
“At the right time, we will engage with State
and Local Government stakeholders, as well
as the local community on these initiatives,”
said the statement.
It is unknown if MBC will re-apply for a
permit.

from page 1
The news comes as a flood of relief to
Maddingley residents, following concerns
regarding smells, noise and environmental
impacts if the application was granted.
One of the application’s most vocal objectors,
Bacchus Marsh Grammar Principal Andrew
Neal, was concerned a successful permit
would mean the school – located just over
one-kilometre from the site – would have no
choice but to relocate (MN 14 May 2019).
Mr Neal told the Moorabool News the
withdrawal is a “pleasing situation” for
the school, but noted it wasn’t “an ideal”
outcome.
“I wouldn’t say it’s ideal, because there’s
still always the possibility there’s another
application that may be on the table,” he said.
“An ideal would be a guarantee that it
wasn’t coming back.”
Mr Neal said the withdrawal allowed
“large-scale capital expenditures” that were
once in limbo to be green-lit.
But if the permit was still on the table as
scheduled, Mr Neal said the school would
have made “appropriate action” to take the
matter further.
“Whether it was approved by Council or
not…it would have been taken by one or the
other of the parties towards VCAT, so we
were ready to take the matter to VCAT,” he
said.
A spokesperson for EPA Victoria said in a
statement that the government body “was
aware of Maddingley Brown Coal’s intention
to pursue a licence amendment to deposit
putrescible waste at its landfill.”
“Maddingley will require a licence
amendment to receive such materials and
will need to submit an application to EPA if
it intends to proceed.
Other permits would also be required from
the local council,” said the spokesperson.

Letters to the Editor Learning the

ropes early
Email: news@themooraboolnews.com.au

Dear Editor, When are the councils (Moorabool and

I live in Greendale, one of the most
picturesque areas of Moorabool.
Unfortunately, however, I have noticed the
increasing amount of roadside rubbish.
Clearly some people have decided that
Greendale is far enough away for them to
drive to dump rubbish on the side of the
road. Not only that, there are clearly many
people who choose to throw their takeaway
containers, soft drink bottles and other
paraphernalia out of their cars when they
have finished with it. What is going on in the
brains of such people? Is it really too difficult
to discard of your own rubbish when you get
home?
Anyone travelling from Bacchus Marsh
to Melbourne will notice the huge amount
of rubbish on the side of the roads. Quite
simply, it’s disgusting. A lot of this rubbish
clearly comes from the new building estates.
Brimbank) going to start to take ownership
of this scourge? I have some ideas that are
not rocket science
1. Building contractors must be made to clean
up their own work sites and fined heavily
for failing to do so.
2. H ard rubbish days twice per year (to
stop the dumping) which will also help
with reducing the cost of the clean-up of
dumping.
3. Reduce the cost of going to the tip or get
vouchers to go to the tip 2-3 times per year
for free.
Why do the residents of this part of the state
allow this to continue to occur? I just can’t
work it out. We should not have to put up
with this rubbish. Quite literally.

By Meg Kennedy
Two community groups in Ballan have
joined forces to create cooking magic.
Ballan and District CWA and 1st Ballan
Scouts Group Joeys came together for a
hands-on cooking class in late August.
As well as creating delicious party pizzas
and Milo balls with CWA cooks Sandra,
Susan, Nishka and Veronika, the young
Scout members were taught food safety tips
and hygiene when cooking.
“This great experience reinforced how
beneficial mentoring from the CWA was
for the younger generations within our
community,” said Ballan and District CWA
President Symone Barry.
The Ballan and District CWA has previously
supported the 1st Ballan Scouts Group,
providing a fundraising opportunity to host
a lemonade stand at the CWA’s Mid-Winter
Bushdance in July.
“Over the past three years, our branch has
strived to support local community groups
and events, such as the Ballan Autumn
Festival and the Ballan RSL,” said Ms Barry.
“Our branch is all about supporting others,
sharing skills and striving to provide
positive opportunities to assist and engage
all members of our communities.”
For more information, you can find Ballan
and District CWA on Facebook at www.

what is underpinning this resurgence?
First, there’s renewed political stability following
the State and Federal elections, lending certainty
to the market.
