Grease is the word! Following the enor-
mous success of last year’s production
of We Will Rock You, Performing Arts
Headquarters’ Community Theatre
Company (PAHQ) is on the lookout for
potential ‘T-Birds’ and ‘Pink Ladies’ for
their 2019 production of everybody’s fa-
vourite musical, Grease.
Males, females, adults, youths, actors,
singers, dancers and musicians above
the age of ten are encouraged to audition,
and no prior experience is necessary.
This year, PAHQ’s JohnPaul and Mai
Pyin would especially like to encourage
males to audition for Grease to fill the
iconic T-Birds roles such as Kenickie and
Danny, made famous by John Travolta in
the 1978 film version.
PAHQ is also looking to expand its
onstage ‘pit’ rock band with additional
wind and string players to perform
those much beloved songs - Grease is
the Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly
Devoted to You, We Go Together, Born
to Hand Jive, You’re the One That I Want
and Greased Lightning.
All interested ‘greasers’ should drop
into the Impresario Theatre, 5 Grant St
Bacchus Marsh, or contact Performing
Arts Headquarters on 5367 6864 or info@
pahq.com.au to pick up an audition pack
and book their audition.
Auditions will be held from 1-9 March
with performances in August and
September.

Home for household waste

By Helen Tatchell

Putrescible – is this the word that

is causing angst in the commu-
nity, describing potential decaying
smells of domestic waste? Or is it
the potential for more truck move-
ments at a designated waste hub of
State significance?
The 2500Ha commercial and in-
dustrial waste and recycling site is
Maddingley Brown Coal, owned
by the Calleja family.
Last week’s (19 February) Moora-
bool News ran an article about a
notice of an application to amend
their planning permit. This would
allow household waste to be ac-
cepted at the site and also a small
change to days of operation to in-
clude Good Friday and Christmas

Currently the permit allows for

Expanding school education
Bacchus Marsh Grammar opened its doors to a new campus in Woodlea, near
Rockbank, earlier this month.
The campus is home to 650 students, making Bacchus Marsh Grammar now one
of the largest independent grammar schools in the state, growing by over 1500
students in almost a ten-year period.
Bacchus Marsh Grammar Principal Andrew Neal said a focus for teaching STEM
(science, technology, engineering and mathematics) would be a key feature of the
new primary school.
“The array of landscaping and additional facilities will set a new standard for
schools in the west, with our overarching vision to provide the best possible
academic and rounded education to the young people of the west,” he said.
Woodlea, a land estate in Rockbank which was launched in 2015 is currently
home to 2,800 residents.
“We chose Woodlea due to its emphasis on design, community and the sheer
professionalism of the joint venture between Victoria Investment and Properties
and Mirvac,” said Principal Neal.
The Bacchus Marsh Grammar Woodlea campus will offer Early Learning, Junior
(prep to year 4) and middle school (year 5 and 6), with the campus eventually
operating through to Year 8 as the student population grows.
Moorabool Shire Council
COUNCIL MEETING
The next Ordinary Meeting of Council will be held on Wednesday 6 March 2019, at 6.00pm,
in the Council Chambers, 5 Stead St, Ballan.
Members of the public are welcome to attend.
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
REVIEW OF MOORABOOL SHIRE DOMESTIC WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Moorabool Shire Council is reviewing its Domestic Wastewater Management Plan (“the
Plan”) which was last reviewed in 2014.
The Plan is a key strategic planning document that establishes the framework for sustainable
development within those areas of the Shire that are not serviced by reticulated sewer.
In late 2017, Council engaged an independent contractor to undertake a performance audit
of the Plan’s implementation. The Audit examined the progress made to date and included
recommendations for consideration that could impact on Council’s strategic policy and further
implementation direction.
The key outcomes sought from the review are to ensure that:
• The reviewed Plan clearly defines the Council’s objectives and owner requirements for
development of land within the Shire that is subject to on-site wastewater treatment systems;
• The reviewed Plan is consistent with all current relevant legislation and government policy;
including Planning permit applications in open, potable water supply catchment areas November
2012 by the Department of sustainability and Environment
• Actions and timeframes for implementation are realistic and achievable; and
• The reviewed Plan provides for a deliverable risk-based compliance audit program of installed
on-site wastewater systems. This program should include a variety of options to ensure
compliance and consideration must be given to how the program can be funded (outside of
the general rate) on an ongoing sustainable basis.
It should be stressed that the review is not a technical assessment of land suitability for on-site
wastewater systems, but a management and operational review to make sure that the Plan
adequately articulates the Council’s policy direction.
The review is to be completed by 7 June 2019. A copy of the Plan and Audit Report can be
found at: https://www.moorabool.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/Domestic-Wastewater-
Management-Plan.pdf
You are invited to provide an expression of Interest for the conduct of the review and prepare
a new Plan. The expression of interest should include as a minimum:
• Full details of your ability to undertake the review,
• Details of the officers to be involved in the review and their resumes,
• Proposed methodology for the review including a key stakeholder engagement plan,
• A timeframe nominating key dates and deliverables for the review. Note it is essential
that Council and key stakeholders are able to provide comment on a draft review prior to
completion and this must be factored into any timeline,
• A set lump sum (all inclusive) fee for the review.
If you would like any further information, please contact Allan May or Andy Gaze on 5366 7100
or email agaze@moorabool.vic.gov.au.
Expressions of interest to undertake the review closes on the Friday 11 March 2019.

Cause still pending Youth awards open

on highway death
By Meg Kennedy
Last month’s motorcycle accident on the
Western Highway is still under investigation.
Bacchus Marsh Highway Patrol Leading
Senior Constable John Volf told the
Moorabool News that there is “no update,”
on the accident at this point in time.
Bacchus Marsh police are currently in the
process of reviewing two witness statements
and are waiting on the toxicology report,
that will identify if anything of interest was
in the deceased’s system at the time of the
accident.
The 41-year old Ballarat man died after
striking a safety barrier near Ballan on 18
January.
The man was travelling in a westerly
direction on the Western Highway near
the Racecourse road underpass, just after
2.45pm when the crash occurred, creating
extensive delays and redirecting traffic
through Gordon from Ballan.
The accident was the first of three that
occurred on the Western Highway in the
New Year, which was followed by the death
of a 19-year-old female passenger on 24
January, in a 4WD vehicle travelling west
bound near Gordon; and an 84-year-old
male driver on the night of 6 February, who
had a head-on collision near Wallace after he
was allegedly travelling to Melbourne in the
incorrect Ballarat bound lanes.

Car parks focus of study

By Kate Taylor
There’s a long road ahead, but Moorabool Shire Council has
begun work on improving car parking for the shire.
Moorabool Shire Councillors voted at the February 6
council meeting to develop a car parking policy, with the
aim of tidying up the fragmented approach to car parking
management in Bacchus Marsh and Ballan’s commercial and
industrial areas in particular.
The project will also seek to set out council’s discretionary
powers when it comes to the requirements of providing car
parking, when the requirements can be waived and at what
cost to whom.
The average number of cars per Moorabool household is
1.9 and population growth is expected to exacerbate current
parking problems.
A report tabled at the meeting out lined that the shire
experiences shortages of car parks in certain areas of Bacchus
Marsh and Ballan, but that this evidence is anecdotal and a
study should be carried out.
West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan asked what the
“ballpark cost” for the study will be.
“$70,000 to $75,000,” a council officer replied, with the
amount going into the 2019-2020 budget process.
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey asked for Gordon
to be included.
“In the scoping of the document, Gordon should be set out –
our third town should be covered,” Cr Toohey said.
“The focus is on Bacchus Marsh and Ballan, but we can
incorporate Gordon,” a council officer replied.
The car parking policy will explore two options of imposing
a waiver fee – either a set fee contained within an overlay
per car parks, which varies across the state in other shires
from $2,000 per park in Echuca to $19,500 per car park in
Frankston.
The second option is a special rate, paid as a charge on
property owner rates notices and which has previously
been recommended by VCAT, Planning Panels and Parking
Advisory Committees for obtaining mandatory car parking
contributions, given overall precinct improvement is
beneficial to existing businesses, and car parking is likely to
be used by customers visiting multiple businesses.
But is there really a car parking problem in Moorabool?
The report explained that Bacchus Marsh has, in the past,
enjoyed an over-supply of car parking.
“The generous supply of car parking in the past may have
created an expectation of readily available and free car
parking but rigidly applying the standard car parking rates
is not necessarily desirable, as it imposes a prohibitive cost
on new business and enforces poor urban design outcomes
which reduce Bacchus Marsh and Ballan’s competitiveness
as vibrant town centres,” the report stated.
Since 2002, there have been 111 separate applications
requesting waivers of car parking within Moorabool Shire,
with the majority of applications relating to commercial uses
within Bacchus Marsh’s Main Street precinct.
Council does however anticipate that residential car park
waivers will increase as applications for medium density
residential developments requiring visitor car parking
increase.
As the report states, the car parking problems can have far-
reaching consequences.
“…evidence to suggest that some businesses were dissuaded
from applying from waivers due to uncertainties regarding
outcomes, or lengthy assessment timeframes, and this was
resulting in lost opportunities for the community in terms of
business growth or relocation.”
The objectives of the car parking policy will be to guide the
waiver application requirements, to develop an assessment
process for resident parking permits, to guide the use of time-
limited signage and permits, and to ‘monitor the regimes’
governing car park provision and usage.
The Car Parking Study will comprise areas in Bacchus
Marsh, Darley, Maddingley, Gordon and Ballan to identify
current, and estimate future car parking requirements,
survey the travel of shoppers and visitors and then to provide
recommendations on car parking and travel management.
Following completion of the study, a report will be presented
to Council.
Cash for Carparks
Council has previously been successfully
challenged in its application of ‘cash in lieu’
contributions in issuing planning permits.
When ‘Court House Hotel v Moorabool’ was heard
at VCAT back in 2006, Member Eccles struck down
a condition of the permit for $4,000 per car space
or $72,000 in total; the reasons behind the decision
were the lack of a relevant car parking precinct
plan, the availability of car parking in the locality,
and the absence of an empirical assessment of car
parking demand.
Cash in lieu has fallen out of favour as a process
for requiring contributions for car parking
waivers - several cases contested at VCAT have
demonstrated that without a strong basis in
Council policy and studies demonstrating a need
for contributions, cash in lieu applied as a permit
condition can be successfully appealed by the
applicant.
As such the current method of charging waiver fees
can only be undertaken on a voluntary basis.

Onward and upward for Pooling the costs

former Moorabool officer
By Kate Taylor

Councillors have approved some paperwork that will tidy

By Kate Taylor
Economic Development Australia’s
Victoria Branch has a new Chair – and
it’s a familiar face to Moorabool.
Peter Forbes, formerly Moorabool
Shire Council’s Economic Development
officer, has been announced as taking
over as Chair to lead the largest net-
work of economic development practi-
tioners in Australia.
EDA CEO Jacqueline Brinkman wel-
comed Mr Forbes, now at Melton City
Council, to the role.
“Peter brings two decades of experi-
ence to this position, having worked in
a diverse range of economic develop-
ment roles across rural, regional and
metropolitan Victoria. He will lead
the fantastic committee in Victoria to
continue the excellent events and initia-
tives designed for EDA members,” Ms
Brinkman said.
Mr Forbes is looking forward to get-
ting started in the role.
“I’m fortunate to be part of a com-
mitted, skills-based committee and a
rapidly expanding membership. We
are best placed to assist our members
in their professional development
through our activities, knowledge and
networks,” Mr Forbes said.
He has big, well-respected shoes to fill,
but outgoing Chair Peter Jeffery is con-
fident that Mr Forbes will step up.
“I have complete confidence in Peter’s
ability to uphold Victoria’s leading rep-
utation,” Mr Jeffery said.
EDA is the peak national body for
economic development practitioners
strengthening and promoting eco-
nomic development through state and
national events, professional develop-
ment, advocacy and member support.
EDA is experiencing rapid growth
with membership increasing from
around 300 to over 650 in the last 18
months.

EDA delivers professional develop-
ment programs including a webinar
series, an international study tour
scholarship program, Australia’s only
dedicated economic development na-
tional conference and a range of state-
based events.
up a bit of a costly mistake in the budget.
The February 6 council meeting heard an item to officially
include a specific type of family pool pass in council’s fees
and charges schedule – one that had been dropped off the list
for the Bacchus Marsh and Ballan outdoor pools.
Entry is currently $4 per child or concession, $5 per adult,
$1.30 per spectator and $60 for a children’s season pass, $75
for an adult season pass and $120 for a family season pass.
A ‘casual family entry’ can be 2 adults and 3 children or 1
adult and 4 children – but the fee was inadvertently left off
Councils Fees and Charges Schedule for the 2018-19 budget
year.
The ‘casual family entry’ charge is $15 and is different from
a Family Season Pass, which allows a family unlimited entry
during the pool season.
It is anticipated that approximately 200 casual family entries
will be processed at both pools during the 2018-2019 pool
season, totalling $3,000 in revenue.
Council officers will also now investigate reducing the
spectator fee following a question from East Ward Councillor
Jarrod Bingham at the meeting.
“The current spectator’s fee is $1.30, and the children’s fee
is $4, could we make it $5 for both to save the change?” Cr
Bingham asked.
“We’ll take this up,” a council officer replied.

Best Agent I have ever engaged 21st Feb 2019

Shanes energy and communication skills were excellent. While our
home sold quickly I believe he would have remained engaged even if it took
a longer period to sell. I could not speak more highly of Shane and would rate
him much better than all agents we have previously used.

Excellent agent 21st Feb 2019

Did an amazing job! was across everything very attentive to all
our questions and sold the house quickly.

Sincerity and Commitment 21st Feb 2019

I was asked by Shane O’brien of Bacchus YPA realestate to write a
short review on their service, and I’m very happy he did, I’m a straight
shooter and no bull. A reality agent has to get the highest price for the
vendor yet the lowest for buyer, almost an impossible task without
compromise, how do you achieve that? I first bought through Shane then
recently sold through him, he does it with sincerity and commitment and
honesty to both parties with his heart and soul, and that’s fair dinkum.
Thinking of Selling? Call Vickie Ramon 0403 194 621 or Shane O’Brien 0431 766 082

Lions answer
the challenge
Darley Cricket Club
By Todd Whelan
Darley’s First XI has survived a dramatic batting collapse
late on Day Two to upset ladder leaders Mt Clear, with a
thrilling one wicket victory at the weekend.
In what Lions coach Mike Alexander would describe later as
‘our best win of the season’, the result could well have ended
in disaster.
Chasing 273 runs to win, the Lions looked to be cruising at
2/254 before the game was turned on its head. The Lions lost
an astonishing 7/15 in no time, sending an almighty scare
through the camp before finally reaching their target.
While the capitulation of the Lions middle and lower order
with the bat dominated the ‘great escape’,conversation in
the post-match, it would take some quality stroke play and
steely resolve at the top to set up the win.
Coach Alexander sang the praises of English import Rick
Moore (105), whose century would be the first for the club
this season and ultimately prove the matchwinner.
“Rick was outstanding,” he said.
“He struck the ball well on a wicket that wasn’t necessarily
great for batting.
“Rick was really smart and executed the game plan
beautifully.
“We spoke about needing to play a 65 over game knowing
the wicket would get slower and slower so we wanted to
avoid batting late if possible,” Alexander said.
“The plan was to go at a tick over four runs per over and
Rick was instrumental in carrying this out and setting up
the game for us.”
Alexander (86) made a significant contribution of his own at
the top of the order that wasn’t missed by century maker and
man of the match Rick Moore.
“Mike’s innings was all class,” he said.
The Lions remain in seventh place just percentage behind
fifth placed Wendouree who’ll they meet this week in the fi-
nal round of the season. An unlikely outright win and other
favourable results is all that can help Darley pull off a miracle
finals berth.
While coach Alexander concedes his team will most likely
miss, there is still more unfinished business.
“This week is all about finishing in the positive of wins
against losses,” he said.
“A win could see us jump to fifth and finish off the season
well.”
The Lions have won seven of their last nine games after los-
ing their opening five games of the season.
Darley’s Second Grade and One day B-Grade sides have
secured finals berths after their wins at the weekend while
Third Grade sits outside of the top six on percentage.
