NOT HAPPY - Ian Ireland has economical concerns if the new Fiskville is to be housed out of the Ballan region.
Photo Helen Tatchell
By Jessica Howard
A new Fiskville training facility
may not be located in Ballan despite
promises from the State Government.
The facility, which was shut down due
to high levels of toxins found in local
water, may be re-built near Bacchus
Marsh.
Ballan Brigade member Ian Ireland
said he was of the understanding
that an offer had been made on land
located in Parwan South a decision
that he believed would leave Ballan
economically worse off.
Its very disappointing to our
community
here
because
the
government and the CFA promised,
when Fiskville was closed, that it would
be built here to bring an economic
impact for what was lost, he said.
Economically, theres no benefit for our
community.
Its another kick in the guts for our
community.
Mr Ireland pointed out that the Parwan
South site was closer to Melbourne
than a Ballan site, and the impact of
that would be felt by brigades.

Victoria will be the first
Australian state to ban
fracking and coal seam gas
mining.
The Labor Government last
week announced the permanent legislative ban, which
will come into effect later
this year.
A parliamentary inquiry
received more than 1,600
submissions, with most opposed to the fracking process, which involves injecting liquid at high pressure
into subterranean rocks and
boreholes in order to extract
oil or gas.
Premier Daniel Andrews
said the newly imposed ban
would help protect agriculture industries and workers.
Our farmers produce some
of the worlds cleanest and
freshest food. We wont put
that at risk with fracking,
he said.
Victorians have made it
clear that they dont support
fracking and that the health
and environmental risks involved outweigh any potential benefits.
Exemptions to the ban will
remain for other types of activities that are not covered
by the current moratorium,
such as gas storage, carbon
storage research and accessing offshore resources. Exploration and development
for offshore gas will also
continue.

Cruelty to animals
on the rise
By Jessica Howard
Welfare concerns for dogs,
cats and horses continue
to make up the majority of
issues reported to RSPCA
Victoria.
Statistics released last week
showed there were 11,850
cruelty reports received by
RSPCA Victoria across the
state in 2015/16, with 126 of
them concerning the welfare
of animals in Moorabool.
Of those reports, 39 related
to dogs and two to puppies,
whilst 11 related to cats or
kittens and 45 related to
horses.
RSPCA Victoria CEO, Dr Liz
Walker said that geographic
analysis of cruelty reporting
data would support RSPCA
Victorias efforts to target its
prevention activity to the areas that need it most.
RSPCA Victorias vision
is ending cruelty to all animals, and we know that prevention is the key to ending
cruelty, she said.
Over the next 12-months,
we will be using this data
to help us identify the areas that would benefit most
from community education
and support.
Issues reported in Moorabool included 39 concerns
about hygiene, grooming
and housing conditions; 46

Firefighters from across the state have
joined together to demand justice for
those exposed to Fiskvilles toxic waste.
The Justice for Fiskville campaign
was launched on the steps of Parliament
on Tuesday August 16 by firefighters
from the Country Fire Authority and
Melbourne Fire Brigade.
The campaign was established in
response to community concern that
victims of the Fiskville CFA training
facility had not been properly identified
and tested.
Firefighters are asking the Andrews
Government to take carriage of blood
testing and calling on those responsible
to be held accountable.
Senior station officer and exposure
victim, Mick Tisbury said the former
Liberal Government and the former
CFA board had failed to establish a
proper blood-testing regime.
I have unacceptably high levels of
PFOS and PFOA in my blood, and
nobody can tell me exactly what that
means for my health. These chemicals
are a ticking time bomb, ticking away
in our bodies, he said.
Many of the victims havent even
been identified. The CFA and MFB
have not been properly screening and
testing victims. We are calling on the
State Government to take over and set

Raising the
profile of
farmers
By Jessica Howard
One farm, at least in Balliang East, is rather wellknown to the states Minister
for Agriculture.
Jaala Pulford visited the
farm of Kate and Chris
Sharkey last month to speak
with members of the newly
formed food producers network, Farming Moorabool.
Ms Sharkey, who arranged
the meeting, said it was
great to provide the Minister
with a better understanding
of the diversity in food production, and the innovative
and progressive farm businesses operating across the
shire.
We have it all here. Dairy,
grains, beef, lamb, wool,
eggs, horticulture, viticulture and more and its all
sitting on the doorstep of
Melbourne, she said.
We are a farmer driven
networking group that
wants government at all
levels to recognise, value
and support the contribution food producers make
in a peri-urban shire such as
Moorabool, by better understanding the threats and opportunities that exist in the
farms sector.
Farming Moorabool was established in 2015 by a group
of local producers, with the
aim of bringing together a
network of regional food
producers.
Farming Moorabool president, Scott Young said the
government needed to better understand and value
the profession of primary
food production by looking
more closely at issues that
ultimately work against long
term farming sustainability.

Things are
crook and up

By Kate Taylor
A new 12-house development will be built in Ballan
despite the Mayor calling
the area a dogs breakfast.
The subdivision application, which was heard at the
August 10 meeting of councils Development Advisory
Committee, was for the development to be built off
Crook Court in two stages.
There was discussion over
the 12 proposed lot sizes
ranging from 477sqm to
1328sqm, multiple lots are
smaller than the minimum
600sqm size set out in the
Ballan Structure Plan.
The Plan, however, has not
yet been officially incorporated into the planning
scheme and is still with the
Minister for Planning.

Water may
become
liquid gold
By Kate Taylor
Locals may soon be able
to make permanent water
trades of groundwater in the
Bungaree area.
However, the move could
see water moved to Ballarat,
according to councillors.
A proposal currently out for
public comment would see
the Bungaree Water Supply
Protection Area changed to
a Water Management Plan
area by Southern Rural
Water.
The Bungaree WSPA was
declared in 2001; the declaration was intended to trigger the development of a
statutory management plan
to manage licensed groundwater use in the area, but a
plan has not been prepared.
SRW has been managing
groundwater licenses in accordance with the local management plan, with groundwater licenses capped by the
permissible
consumptive
volume of 5,263 megalitres.
There are currently 107
licences in the Bungaree
WSPA, with 90 per cent of
the water used for irrigation.
In 2013/14 3094 megalitres
were used in the Bungaree
WSPA, with use varying annually according to seasonal
conditions.
If the WSPA is abolished,
permanent trade of licenses
will be permitted. This may
result in increased use as
currently unused licences
are traded, read a letter sent
to Moorabool Shire Council
by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and
Planning.
The letter explained that
regular monitoring, assessment and reporting inform
reviews of management
plans in response to changes
in resource conditions, and
pointed out that local management plans are more flexible and support adaptive
management more than statutory management plans.
SRW pointed out that the
current plan includes rules
such as metering, trading
and licensing however the
WSPA cap means that no
new groundwater licences
can be issued, although it is
also noted that the water is
currently fully accounted for
so that no new licences could
be issued anyway.
Under the current rules,
only temporary trade of
groundwater entitlement is
permitted in the area.
The proposed change
would allow permanent
trade of groundwater entitlement. The Water Supply
Protection Area would become a Groundwater Management Area and all other
management rules would
remain the same, said a
spokesperson for SRW.
This means customers in
the area (mostly farmers)
looking for more water do
not necessarily have to keep
temporarily trading every
year, which reduces red tape.
Where we have introduced
local management rules in
other areas, they have been
widely supported.
All trading applications both temporary and permanent - are assessed by Southern Rural Water in terms of
their potential impact on
the environment and other
users.
This would include any
trading applications for the
purposes of town drinking
water supply.
A report prepared by
council
officers
recommended that the change be
supported.
It is expected that the introduction of permanent
transfers will be a positive
outcome for the area and
local producers as it may
allow primary producers
to increase their access to
groundwater for growth or
to increase their water security during dry periods,
read the report.
By establishing more secure access to water, it is
expected that there will be a
flow on benefit to the wider
community as producers
may be more confident to
invest in new irrigation infrastructure and use of other
inputs needed for agriculture and horticulture.
Councillors voted in favour
of Moorabool Shire Council
supporting the bid to change
the management of the
groundwater with councilors Paul Tatchell, Tom
Sullivan and Tonia Dudzik
voting against it.
The proposal is out for public comment through SRW
until 14 October.
THE DEBATE
Councillors Toohey, Sullivan and Tatchell, speaking at
the August 3 council meeting when the proposal was put
forward, raised concerns about water being moved out
of the area.
Cr Sullivan said while both authorities are wanting council
to trust them, they wanted to take water out of Bungaree
to fill Lake Wendouree when it was empty.
I suggest we show caution and say no, Cr Sullivan said.
Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell agreed.
This country has made horrendous decisions in regard
to water; the safety net is not secure enough, Cr Tatchell
said.
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey said that Central
Highlands Water has bores in the area.
They have systems in place and they can take the water
selling it or otherwise. You would hope they would come
to us and say do you need it? We hope they would make
sound decisions, Cr Toohey said.
A spokesperson for SRW told the Moorabool News that
the Bungaree aquifer does not physically extend to the
Ballarat township, adding water cannot be traded from
one aquifer to another.
Central Highlands Water holds licences for approximately
three per cent of the available water in the Bungaree.
Our records show this is used very rarely (to top up
town supply reservoirs in the area), and is more often
temporarily traded to local farmers, the spokesperson
said.
A concession made while council offered its support for
the change was that among conditions was an amendment
that the state government pursues improvements to the
environment and the Moorabool River.

With council elections coming up ratepayers need to

councillors or replacements.
It is clear that the current
councillors have failed to
look after their core product,
core product being ratepayers that provide income for
the council in return for a
service. This service comes
at a cost that needs to be
contained as every dollar in
increased rates results in less
money being spent in the
area, which in turn effects investment and employment.
If rates are increased above
the cpi by 1.75 percent then
clearly there is a failure to

Need I say more? These
creative and innovative
people, and their publishers (some 25,000 of them),
are robbing our economy
by taking much-needed jobs

being creative and engaging.
This, it seems to me, spells
out clearly the economic
rationalist thinking of our
government agencies. If they
have little time for book production in their economical

After a busy couple of weeks, last weekend was a little quieter on the competition front. Just
the Seniors to compete albeit in Frankston for their Bayside competition.
Competition number three in as many weeks saw the girls at George Jenkins Theatre on
Saturday evening. With competitions so close together this year there is only time to make
minor tweaks here and there to choreography or to make refinements to routines. This week
the girls competed in a combined division competition, seeing them competing with teams in
the division above them. They came away with the following placings: Highly Commended
(5th) - March & Rods Team 1, Honourable Mention (4th) - Song & Dance, 3rd Free Exercises,
Aesthetics and Calisthenic Revue.
