Maddingley is one of three locations in Victoria being considered for contaminated soil dumping

By Kate Taylor and Helen Tatchell
There remains, more questions than answers about
the state government’s potential plan to dump
contaminated soil in Maddingley.
So far, the community has been told that the
Maddingley Brown Coal (MBC) site is one of three
locations in Victoria being considered as a dumping
ground for toxic soil that is coming out of the West
Gate tunnel Project and that “low levels of PFAS have

been identified as being in the soil where tunnelling
ck Up No.: 3
will be carried out.”
Transurban and its builder are working with their
project partners and the EPA to find a long-term
solution to manage the rock and soil that will be
created during tunnelling.
A council spokesperson confirmed senior council
officers had an initial briefing with Maddingly Brown
Coal and Westgate Tunnel project representatives –
but “has not received information or any reports on
amenity, infrastructure, economic or environment
impacts”.
“Moorabool Shire Council has raised concerns
about the proposal to all parties involved. Council
has reiterated several times that it is the utmost of
importance that if the proposal is to be approved, the
community, amenity, infrastructure, economic and
environment impacts are considered and appropriately
mitigated. Council has also requested genuine public
consultation prior to any decision being made,” the
spokesperson told the Moorabool News.
Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle said she has
not attended a briefing with Maddingley Brown Coal
and did not respond if she had been briefed by her own
Labor state government on the subject.
“I have not attended a briefing with MBC. This week,
I have had my regular monthly meeting with CEO
Derek Madden. This meeting covered a range of
issues but did not include a briefing,” Ms Settle told the
Moorabool News.
However, a council spokesperson said both local
members, including Member for Melton Steve McGhie,
have been included in correspondence from council to
the state government on the issue.

Brandon Wood was contesting his charge of driving an
unregistered vehicle before Magistrate Tom Barrett.
The court heard Wood was intercepted by police on July
25 last year on Hallett’s Way, Bacchus Marsh, with police
informing him his car registration had expired.
Police issued Wood an infringement notice and a fine of $826
on the said day.
In court Wood said he paid the registration fee online, “on

“I paid the rego on the spot but still got fined which I thought
was a bit rough,” Wood said.
“My car was getting repaired, so I borrowed my dad’s car.
He wasn’t aware the rego was expired,” Wood continued.
Magistrate Barrett told Wood because the “fine was set by
parliament,” he would reimpose the initial fine of $826.

Amalgamation –
‘a process driven by the two health services’
By Kate Taylor and Helen Tatchell
A lot of questions and rumours are doing
the rounds in Bacchus Marsh after the
announcement that a merger between
Djerriwarrh Health and Western Health is
being considered.
Last year, the state Government announced
Western Health, which runs the Footscray
and Sunshine hospitals, and the new Joan
Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital,
would become the operator of the future
Melton hospital.
Vital planning work will determine the new
24-hour Melton hospital’s location and size,
and the range of services it will provide – it
will also look at how it will link into services
at other public hospitals in the Western
suburbs.
Initial planning for the Melton hospital is
underway and master planning will follow
when a principal consultant is appointed
early in 2020.
The state government says the Western
Health Board and Djerriwarrh Health
Service’s Administrator Dr John Ballard
agreed to explore the best possible options
for delivering healthcare in Melbourne’s
West – including the potential benefits
of a voluntary amalgamation, given the
upcoming changes.
Under the Health Services Act an
amalgamation would need to be voluntary
and agreed between boards and it would
also have to benefit the community - any
proposal for voluntary amalgamation must
be submitted to the Department of Health
and Human Services for Secretary review
and subsequent approval by the Minister for
Health.
Meanwhile, there has been a $10.6 million
upgrade of maternity services and expansion
of operating theatres at Djerriwarrh Health
Services in Bacchus Marsh.
But the move isn’t enough to assure locals
about the security of their jobs, or the
medical services that are provided to them.
Mayor David Edwards told the Moorabool
News he would love to see more information
provided on the issue.
“While the health care itself isn’t a council
service, the feedback I have been getting from
residents is that they are severely concerned
about the lack of consultation – they believe
that job losses have already started to happen
and that there will be a reduction in services.
There’s a lot of rumours, but there’s not a lot
of practical information being provided, he
said.
“We’ll be advocating strongly that we
should have an increase in jobs in Bacchus
Marsh, not decreased, and that we need
increased services not a decrease in services.
“The loss of 150 jobs to this shire means a
lot. Clearly the government doesn’t care
whether they win our seats because they’re
taking away jobs through the hospitals, with
no public consultation,” he said.
Speaking to the Moorabool News at the
opening of the new ambulance station in
Bacchus Marsh, Minister for Health Jenny
Mikakos was on the front-foot about how
the potential amalgamation would be a
voluntary one and that there would be
“extensive community consultation”.
“Firstly, there has been no proposal that has
been developed or that I’ve received to date,”
the Minister began.
“It was really as a result of us announcing
that Western Health would run the new
hospital in Melton that the two health
services started to consider the idea of an
amalgamation.
She said that any proposal would ultimately
come before her for approval.
“I’d be expecting to see extensive community
consultation and extensive consultation
with staff before we would consider any
voluntary amalgamation. I’d also be looking
for no reduction in services for the local
community.”
She also noted that sometimes smaller rural
health services, such as DjHS, struggle to
attract specialist staff to come and work
for them and that having a larger health
service, such as Western Health, ‘standing
behind them’ can mean that there are more
opportunities to have specialists do outreach
work at the smaller sites.
“But that’s up to the two health services to do
that work, to go out to their communities and
discuss the benefits of an amalgamation.”
Also speaking to the Moorabool News at
the opening of the ambulance station, DjHS
CEO Belinda Scott said an amalgamation
would be a multi-step process beginning
with a report on the benefits and risks to
the community of an amalgamation – and
that discussions with groups such as the
“amazing Ladies Auxiliary” have already
begun.
“I advised them in December that we would
need to consider amalgamation,” she said.
A spokesperson for DjHS said public
consultation began on Monday 10 February
and will continue through to March.
“From last Friday, community members
can also visit a microsite which will outline
the process and timeline and, will provide a
platform for community input. We will also
utilise social media to engage a cross section
of the community.”
Western Health and Djerriwarrh already
share services, have overlapping boundaries
and are increasingly interdependent.
“Together they service the healthcare needs
of nearly 985,000 Victorians and employ
more than 7600 people from a dozen existing
care campuses,” the spokesperson told the
Moorabool News.
With a population growth rate of more than
three per cent year-on-year, Melbourne’s
West to Bacchus Marsh and beyond will
need more services, more skills, more
people working in healthcare, more health
infrastructure.”
The DjHS spokesperson confirmed “under
any option, there will be no reductions in
overall staffing numbers.
“As the population continues to grow, there
will be greater need to deliver more care,
closer to where people live – therefore more
clinicians needed to service the West.”

New leader aims for purpose, direction and leadership

By Helen Tatchell
It is common to hear the reason why people
choose to live in Ballan, and for Michael
Ryan and his wife Margaret, it is a familiar
tale.
Michael and Margaret lived in Horsham
for 37-years and now have clocked up six-
years in Ballan, all because of the available
health and business services, proximity to
Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat, family
and the access to train services.
“And of course, the climate,” he said in jest.
He is the new President of the Ballan &
District Chamber of Commerce, neutral and
comes with no history.
“I understand the importance of small
business in rural and regional communities.
“The local community should, where
practicable, support local businesses, by
giving them an opportunity to provide their
goods and services,” he told the Moorabool
News.
“It is also important that businesses continue
to provide high levels of customer service.”
The former Horsham Rural City Councillor
(2005-2012) and Mayor (2010, 2011) had a
Chartered Accounting business that catered
for mainly small business and farming
clients. He employed 20 plus people.
Mr Ryan has a vision for the next two-
years, that includes purpose, direction and
leadership.
“The idea is to see if we are still relevant,
we talk about representing the commercial
sector if you like, providing opportunity,
promoting industry in Ballan, and the new

the Ballan & District Chamber of Commerce. Photo – HELEN TATCHELL
committee, is looking at how we do that, the
models have changed, social media is game
changing in all its formats” he said.
“My idea is to make sure people still want
to be members of the Chamber, for the
networking and also for the learning and
training opportunities.
“That is our challenge,” Mr Ryan said. “To
make sure that we are still an attractive
organisation to be part of and come along
too, there must be a purpose.”
And a campaign to attract new members is
on the agenda.
“The question is, what have we got to offer,
why do people come out on a Tuesday in the
middle of winter pay for a meal and go home
thinking ‘well I could do that on a Saturday
night’.
“We need to ask ourselves the question ‘why
would you do that’ and get some answers
to around the ‘why’. And I think that is our
major challenge.”
Mr Ryan is also encouraging people to share
their business knowledge and information.
“Discussions and opinions can’t be
adversarial all the time, In my short time
in the chamber of commerce we haven’t
shared local stories enough; there are lots
of good stories out there in the community
and I think we should have a segment every
meeting where a business person is asked to
tell their story, Q&A for five minutes, and just
share the knowledge, share the experience, it
is not all good, but a lot of it is, we don’t draw
on our own resources enough,” he said.
Grasping the younger people in business
with current IT, gadget and social media
knowledge is a culture Mr Ryan is looking
closely at.
“Our culture I think has to be about
inclusiveness, include everybody. Young
people today are more creative than I ever
was, they have new skills and we need those
to benefit the chamber.
“The committee has to have the courage
to make decisions and the chamber is an
opportunity to meet together, we don’t
necessarily need a 5-star meal, just the
opportunity to meet together.”
And finally, does see himself as a leader?
“I am quite happy to make decisions. I am
quite happy to go and talk to people about
anything that is ‘getting up their nose’,” he
said.
Meetings for the Ballan & District Chamber
of Commerce are held on the third Tuesday
of every month from 7pm.
Next Meeting – Tuesday 18 February at The
Plough in Myrniong. The March meeting
will be held on Tuesday 17 March at the
Gordon Hotel. Enquiries – 0418 116 956 Asha

A new extension of an old arrangement will

soon be on the books for Moorabool libraries.
Currently, the City of Ballarat provides
service support for Moorabool libraries
under an agreement that ran from 2015-2020
and expires in June this year – it replaced
the former Central Highlands Libraries
Organisation.
Now, Moorabool wants to continue the
arrangement with the City of Ballarat for
another five years, and will write to the
Minister for Local Government for an
exemption from having to put the plan to
public tender, letting it negotiate directly
with Ballarat.

Steve McGhie (Member for Melton) Daniel Andrews (Victorian Premier) Michaela Settle (Member for Buninyong)
SEE NO EVIL
Maddingley is one of three locations in Victoria being considered for contaminated soil dumping
(from page 1)
The situation has left Moorabool Mayor Cr David Edwards
calling on the state government to provide more information
– or at least reply to the letters that council has been sending.
“Look, MBC hasn’t done anything wrong here - they’re a
business, they create jobs in our town, that’s a good thing.
Our problem is the state government consultation on exactly
what’s happening,” Mayor Edwards told the Moorabool
News.
He said council has written to the state government three
times so far and not received a response.
“If this is to go ahead, we understand that the soil has to go
somewhere, but we need to know if our roads can handle
it with all the trucks, that the soil won’t contaminate and
ruin our millions of dollars-worth of market gardens in the
future, that it won’t impact the school - they are some of the
things we need to know. But we don’t know.
“Transurban and the other parties involved aren’t a concern
for us, our concern is that the state government follows the
procedures.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Transurban told the
Moorabool News it is well-equipped to undertake
stakeholder consultation as well as to meet all environmental
and planning requirements.
“We’re continuing to work with project parties and EPA
Victoria, and have made good progress towards securing
appropriate sites for the safe management of tunnel spoil.
Any facilities that are considered will have stringent
environmental controls in place to protect the community,”
she said.
However, the current MBC permit does not allow for any
hazardous waste on site – it is illegal for any hazardous or
prescribed industrial waste to be “let in or past the entrance
gate”.
Despite questions to Minister Jacinta Allen’s office, the
exact classification of the tunnel spoil has not been revealed
– meaning nobody has been told if it is officially classed as
Prescribed Industrial Waste or what contaminants the soil
contains.
A government spokesperson from Ms Allen’s office said
there are a number of sites being considered and Maddingley
Brown Coal is one site that has put forward a proposal.”
“The need to effectively manage soil was clearly identified
during the planning assessment process.
An outcome of the planning process is that soil must be
managed in accordance with EPA requirements.”
The Moorabool News asked Cr Edwards if he had any
information on the rumours that contaminated soil had
already been taken to the Maddingley site, or that soil would
News
The Moorabool News – 18 February, 2020 Page 11
be ‘stored there’ instead of ‘disposed of’, or that the soil was
going to be transported there and only tested once it arrived.
In answering the question, Cr Edwards took another swipe
at the lack of information and consultation from the state
government.
“I’ve heard lots of rumours in the last week and conspiracy
theories and I suppose these are brought about by a lack of
facts,” he said.
“At the moment we just want to be assured that all the rigors
The ‘principle’
Bacchus Marsh Grammar has also been left in the
dark and they are right next door.
Last year, the school fought alongside the
community against changes to the MBC permit that
would have allowed it to take putrescible waste.
Now, that same site could potentially be home to
contaminated soil instead – and the school has not
been told any more about it than the general public.
Principal Andrew Neal told the Moorabool News
the school has not been invited to participate in any
discussion with the State Government.
“No meeting has either been booked or cancelled.
We have requested meetings this week with various
individuals but no one, including Moorabool Shire
Officers wants to discuss matters with us,” he said.
”We are obviously concerned about everyone at the
school and the general community but I repeat we
have not been invited to any meeting with the State
Government. We are actively exploring all options
to try to ensure this rumour doesn’t become fact.”
The Moorabool News asked Mr Neal if dust at
the site from the transported soil would be a major
problem.
“Dust is a problem, so is the destruction of the
amenity of the town and the seeming desire of
some to turn South Maddingly into the cloaca of
Melbourne.”
that normally would be applied are applied. The last thing
we need is a rushed decision to meet contractual obligations.
But there’s just an endless amount of questions that, had they
been addressed, would have created far less hysteria.”
A spokesperson for MBC said, “because it is developing
a commercially sensitive proposal there is no comment to
make at this time.”
Responses were not received from Member for Melton Steve
McGhie and contractor for the project John Holland.
THE EPA
Site selection isn’t the business of the Environmental
Protection Authority – but soil contaminants are.
Still, the EPA provided a limited response to
questions posed by the Moorabool News on the
issue.
“In light of the current contractual dispute over the
West Gate Tunnel project, EPA will not be making
any further comment at this stage,” a spokesperson
said.
The EPA website states that a key objective of the
statutory industrial waste management policy for
Prescribed Industrial Waste is to ‘protect people and
the environment from the risks posed by Prescribed
Industrial Waste.
The EPA is also linked to the Contamination
Response Protocol
National Framework for Responding to PFAS
Contamination which states:
“Priority: Engage with stakeholders
Engaging with local communities and
stakeholders is a critical part of responding to
PFAS contamination. Timely, open, transparent
and consistent communication is essential to
share information, address concerns, explain
actions, and advise on risk management actions.
This should be undertaken in accordance with
the PFAS Information Sharing, Communication
and Engagement Guidelines (Appendix C to the
National Framework for Responding to PFAS
Contamination). This is an ongoing activity at all
stages of responding to PFAS contamination.”

Lots of open space, for now
By Kate Taylor
A new policy is in place for the shire’s open
spaces.
The Bacchus Marsh and Ballan Open Space
Framework 2041 was adopted by councillors
at the February 5 council meeting.
It is based on vision, principles and key
actions and while it guides the future
provision of open space, it does not specify
any sites or activities.
The strategy was put out for public comment
for six weeks and council made some minor
changes before recommending that it be
officially adopted.
Councillors voted at the meeting to officially

adopt the strategy – however Central Ward
Councillor Paul Tatchell warned that it
will have to be revisited in coming years
because too much open space will restrict
development.
“My concerns are this could get complicated.
“We’re going to become open space by
design and could run into problems,” he
said.
Cr Tatchell said if there are “massive
changes” to block sizes “these people will
have own open space because they won’t be
able to build anywhere near them”.
“At present we have an open space

Dear Editor, Dear Editor,

I congratulate Jan Lowe on her letter to the
editor (MN 11/2/20). She correctly points out
that Bacchus Marsh is proposed as a toxic
waste dump. A dump for carcinogens on our
water table, close to residential and school
sites, near our valuable foodbowl market
gardens, and threatening the health of our
children.
Our Council and our community have not
been provided sufficient information or
consultation.

I am pleased to take this opportunity
to share with Moorabool residents, the
exceptional service I received recently at
Ballan District Health & Care.
After recently moving to Ballan from
Queensland, the mild skin cancers on my
forehead became increasingly annoying,
so on a Friday afternoon whim, I phoned
Ballan District Health & Care to enquire
about booking a cryotherapy treatment
with nitrogen. The call was answered by a
friendly and helpful receptionist who made
a booking for me immediately. I drove the

Do you have talent?

and a musical combined into one fabulous
show, right here in Moorabool.
However, to put on a good show your need
to have auditions to get the best and Bacchus
Marsh’s own Impresario Theatre is doing
just that.
The Performing Arts Headquarters (PAHQ)
will be staging Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s
epic musical, the Phantom of the Opera in
August and September this year. But now
they are looking for interested performers
and are running auditions.
The call is out to be part of this ‘once in a
lifetime’ opportunity. PAHQ are especially
looking for dancers with ballet, lyrical, jazz
and contemporary experience and skilled
orchestral musicians to join the dance chorus
and be part of the 27-piece pit-orchestra for
the show.
It doesn’t end there either. Seasoned and also
aspiring actors and singers are encouraged
to show off their talent.
Whether you are male, female, an adult
or youth the opportunity is here and those
interested are invited to drop into the

We are now faced with the same selfish
interests from 2008 determined to use our
town as a dump for dangerous toxins. To
them it is all about profits, not our children.

few decades ago, despite being a safe Labor

short distance to the centre and I was directed
to the waiting room. Almost immediately
I was called by the doctor who completed
the cryotherapy treatment in a matter of
minutes. He then repeated the process to
ensure a successful outcome. I’ve had this
treatment several times in Queensland,
however no doctor has ever taken the time to
repeat the process twice.
So, in less than 30 minutes from my call,
I was heading home after receiving very
professional treatment.
This was exceptional, friendly and
professional service, seemingly all in a day’s
work for the medical staff at Ballan District

I encourage other patients to share their
positive experiences.

is back to top form, with the
latest weekend recording a
massive clearance rate of 80
per cent.
The last time Victoria re-
corded an auction clearance
rate over 80% was back in
April 2017.
Our market is in great
shape and this month’s de-
cision by the Reserve Bank
of Australia to keep interest
rates on hold will allow the
party to keep going.
The RBA voted last week

to keep interest rates at a re-
cord low 0.75%, where it has
remained since October last
year.
Despite natural disasters
and bushfires over summer,
the real estate market has
performed better than many
expected.
Record low-interest rates
make it easier and more
affordable to purchase a
property.
Combined with easier lend-
ing protocols and the first
home buyers incentives,
prospective buyers have a
much more inviting path to
become property owners.
Increasing the number of
homebuyers has a flow-on
effect in our local economies.
More homes being bought
or built create direct jobs in
our community, it is impera-
tive to make it easy as pos-
sible for buyers to purchase
land.
Victorians who invest
in real estate are seeing
great growth with their
investments.
With an increase in buy-
ers, the market requires
more sellers to keep up with
demand.
Selling your home is easier
than before with properties
taking less time to sell.
Properties for sale are at-
tracting massive interest
from buyers and are sold
quickly.
As always, if a buyer or a
seller is looking for objective
information on the market
or an agency– they should
visit reiv.com.au.

FIRST TIME RENTING
Moving out of your family home and into your own place can be an exciting experience.
When you are ready to make a move to go out on your own, Arbee Real Estate is here to
help.
Dealing with first time renting trouble
As a first time renter, you may not have the rental history to support your credibility as a
tenant. Arbee will help you deal with the no-win situation you may be caught up in. Our
clientele includes landlords who are willing to let out their properties to first time renters,
provided they have the appropriate documents.
In addition to rental history, there are a number of things you should consider when
renting a property to avoid making mistakes that could later prove to be costly for you.
The team at Arbee will guide you through the entire process so that you don’t make any
mistakes.
Where do you want to live?
The first thing to consider is the area where you want to live. To determine this, you need
to consider how close the property should be to where you study or work, proximity to
transport or arterial roads, the cost of renting in the area, the living conditions and the
general environment of the region.
What are you looking for in the property? Check the property before you finalise
The idea of moving into your own space can be so exhilarating that you may end up liking Don’t go by photos. Always take time to see the property personally and inspect it before

Darley will host Wendouree in a 50 over game this Saturday
after day one action was abandoned due to rain at the
weekend.
The undefeated Lions have erred on the side of caution
heading into the penultimate round naming outgoing star
all-rounder Danza Hyatt following his selection to represent
the West Indies at the ICC Masters World Cup in India next
month. Hyatt was expected to miss the final two rounds
initially (and finals), providing coach Brian Wheelahan a
window of opportunity to tinker with the landscape at the
top of the order.
“Given we’re 18 points clear on top with two (games) to play
(before finals) we need to find the right combination to give
This Lions attack is perfectly balanced with enviable
variations in fast, craft medium, slow and swing bowling
- even left and right arm combinations given the recent
inclusion of youngster Mitch Ward. Opposition sides can
savour and prepare for a Hyatt-free Lions outfit all they
like, but simply protecting their own off stump will be their
greatest challenge.
*Danza Hyatt missed the opening two rounds of season
2019/20. The Lions defeated fifth placed East Ballarat (five
wickets) and second placed Mt Clear (70 runs).

Hooking into hockey

By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
with 16-year-old Zali Ward following in her
mother’s footsteps and taking her first leap
into the elite hockey world.
Zali’s athleticism has taken her to new
heights after being selected to tour Europe
in March 2020 alongside other Victorian
hockey players.
It isn’t her first taste either, she’s played in
squads and representative sides throughout
her hockey career, with the selection into
the School Sports Australia Squad being a
significant achievement.
But the current milestone in Zali’s sporting
career may well be her selection into the
Hockey Victoria Women’s development
squad as a bottom age player.
The process began at the end of last year
when 30 girls were chosen to be a part of the
initial trials, this then being cut down to 16
athletes who will jet off to the Netherlands to
partake in elite hockey training.
“She takes it in her stride,” mother Brittany
said when asked what Zali’s initial reaction
to being selected was.
“She’s quietly excited. She knows she has a
lot of work to do,” Brittany continued.
Along with the other athletes chosen, Zali
will be exposed to high level competition,
which will further her experience for state
and national selections.
“The next step [after training with the
women’s squad] is Jillaroos or the Australian
Zali Ward playing for Victoria in Newcastle 2019 where she went on to make the All squad,” Brittany said. “[Zali’s] grateful she
Australian 16 & Under team. Photo - Ali Stansby did get a chance.”
The trip to the Netherlands will allow
the athletes to train with the best local
competition in the world, on the best training
and playing facilities to date.
The travelling team will consist of both
Hockey Victoria Emerging Athletes, which
Zali is in, and Victorian Institute of Sport
athletes.
“You have to have certain characteristics
for the Victorian Institute of Sport to take
you on,” Brittany said. “They are developing
amazing people.”
Brittany told the Moorabool News Zali was
invited to train with the VIS team over the
Christmas break, saying that it showed her
“what it was like to be a professional athlete.”
When asked what Zali’s year ahead in
hockey may look like, her roster wasn’t shy
of a few commutes halfway across the world.
“Zali has trials for the national team this
month which plays in Tasmania in April, the
Europe tour in March, and, if all goes to plan,
she’ll be heading to South Africa in June for
the U/16 School Sports Australia team,”
Brittany said.
“All while studying Year 11 at Bacchus
Marsh Grammar,” she continued. “Who
have been amazing in accommodating Zali
and her hockey. They run an elite sports
program at the school.”
Zali’s Europe tour commences March 6 for
two weeks, playing six games over a 12-
day period and gaining lifelong knowledge
that she will be able to incorporate into her
already elite hockey game.
*** Zali Ward was announced in the 2020
Aus Champs U18 Vic Girls State Team on
Friday 14 February, playing in Tasmania
16-24 April.
