hitehorse City Council
has awarded scholarships
to two local students who
have each received assistance
from Council with a $4500
scholarship to cover academic
fees, prescribed texts and
material for one year of study.
Your rates 2015/16
A
bout 69,500 ratepayers across the
municipality will receive their 2015/16
annual rates notice in late August.
Your rates help provide more than 100 services to
the Whitehorse community including home and
community care; child and maternal health; and the
maintenance of roads, footpaths, sportsgrounds
and leisure centres. Council also receives funding
through Federal and State Government grants, car
parking fines and facility entry fees.
The general rate will increase by 5.6 per cent, along
with a one-off Whitehorse City reNEWal fund of
2.0 per cent.
Properties are revalued every two years in
accordance with State Government legislation and
as 2015 is not a revaluation year, revaluations will
take place in January 2016.
Any ratepayer who may experience difficulties in paying
their rates should contact Council’s Rates Department
on 9262 6292 to discuss alternative options.
More details about rates and valuations are available

1930s home in Mont Albert has been restored to its
original condition with support from Council’s Heritage
Assistance Fund.
The original open porch was enclosed in the 1970s with a glass window,
door and contemporary timber panelling on the porch walls. As a result
of the renovations, the front of the house has been opened up, allowing
beautiful features such as a stained glass window, stained glass light cover
and the original (restored) timber floorboards to be seen again.
Applications for Council’s Heritage Assistance Fund for 2016 are open from
Monday 3 August to Friday 11 September 2015.
Since the fund was first established in 2004, Council has assisted more than
200 households across the municipality with restoration projects such as reroofing, masonry repairs, new guttering, painting using appropriate colours,
and timber repair in window sills, verandah floors and facades.
Council recognises that maintaining heritage homes can be an expensive
task, so the fund is available to ensure that our heritage places can
enrich our community and be enjoyed by future generations. A

Sustainability Spotlight on RSPCA Victoria
With Whitehorse Business Week just around the corner, the Whitehorse News is
profiling this year’s winning business from the Whitehorse Sustainability Awards.
RSPCA Victoria took out the Sustainable
Business and Innovation Award category
for installing a sub-surface wetland
system capable of recycling up to 80 per
cent of water (up to 6,000L) used on a
daily basis to wash dog kennels. Here’s
what the RSPCA told us about their
water-saving project:
How did sustainability become a focus
for RSPCA Victoria?
At the time we began planning to replace
facilities that were over 60 years old in
some parts, Victoria was in a significant
drought. RSPCA uses lots of water on a
daily basis to wash down kennels, clean
facilities and in normal operations, so we
needed to do something significant to
reduce our water consumption.
How did the idea for the sub-surface
wetland system come about?
The sub-surface wetland we selected was
modelled on a technology used on King
Island in Australia as well as in overseas
locations. The system recycles 80 per cent
of the water per cycle and then tops up
the 20 per cent with rain water harvesting
from our roofs. The water from the system
is used to wash down our facilities and
irrigate our gardens and rain water is used
directly to top up the system and flush
toilets in the building.
What is your advice to other businesses
who are thinking of implementing
sustainability practices or policies?
First, success breeds success! Once we
had started on the sustainability path,
we were able to gather momentum
for other initiatives as projects were
implemented and people started to
get behind the initiatives. Second,
find a great consultant. There are very
good consultants available that bring
passion and practical ideas that can be
implemented on many levels. Third,
tackle one project or initiative at a time,
Free x-ray recycling proves a hit
R
esidents have recycled an impressive 672 kilograms of x-ray films
during the first six months of Council’s free x-ray recycling service.
X-rays contain chemicals in the film used to develop them. In landfills these
chemicals can contaminate the leachate (liquid run off at landfills), making
them a hazardous waste.

Mayor Cr Andrew Munroe.
do it well and then move on. Trying
to make changes in multiple areas at
once can be too much change for an
organisation. Finally, organise and
support an environmental committee
within your organisation. The people
who are keen to support this will come
to the fore and then all you have to do
is ensure they are supported.
Whitehorse Sustainability Awards
The annual awards acknowledge local
individuals, schools, businesses and
community groups for their efforts in
leading sustainable lifestyles.

Reuse and Recycling
on the rise in Whitehorse
T
his year has seen another significant increase
in residents making the most of Council’s range
of recycling services beyond the yellow-lidded
kerbside bins alone.
Earlier this year, Council introduced a new free drop off x-ray film recycling
service allowing residents to dispose of x-rays they no longer require at
convenient locations across the municipality. X-ray films from MRI and CT scans
can be recycled as well as general X-ray films.
Renew Kerbside Collection
and Drop Off Day
Ring and Book Hard
Waste Collection
X-ray films also contain a small amount of silver which is fully recovered as part
of the recycling process. They are processed in an EPA-licensed refinery based
in Melbourne, with the extracted silver reused for a variety of purposes such as
jewellery, silver plating of utensils, electrical components and film manufacture.
This annual program gives residents a
chance to redistribute unwanted but
useable household items that might
otherwise end up in landfill.
There were 32,725 bookings for Council’s
Ring and Book Hard Waste Collection service
in financial year 2014/15 – an increase of 5
per cent from the previous year.
The x-ray recycling bins
are located at:
In May 2015, residents recycled 53.26
tonnes of reusable items such as
electronics, whitegoods and furniture at the
Renew Drop Off Day. This was a 40.5 per
cent increase in items from last year.
Currently, 30 per cent of the waste
collected through this service is recycled
and diverted from landfill. After collection,
recyclable items such as whitegoods,
metals and mattresses are removed from
the loads and sent for recycling.

Homelessness in Whitehorse
E
very year, Council receives a small number of reports of homelessness from residents or staff
working in the municipality’s parks, gardens or public spaces.
Homelessness can present in the community in a variety
of ways, with some people “couch surfing” and others
“sleeping rough” in parks or cars.
“The circumstances that led to these people finding
themselves homeless vary greatly and are often diverse
and complex,” Neil said.
There is a common perception that homelessness is
mostly attributed to young people, yet this is not the
case. Homelessness is not linked to any particular
demographic group in Whitehorse or across the
state.
“They can stem from job insecurity, domestic violence,
relationship breakdowns, mental health issues, or drug
and alcohol addiction.”
Neil Rogers, Council’s Community Development
Officer, Health and Family Services, said over his 15
years of responding to reports of people sleeping
rough in Whitehorse, he had met a wide variety of
people ranging from 16 to 78 years of age.
“Upon receiving a notification, I’ll investigate by
undertaking a site visit, often liaising with the
homeless person and referring them to an appropriate
state-wide homelessness service,” he said.
Receive all the latest on
local family events,
programs, immunisation
sessions, forums, maternal
and child health updates
and information on
parenting youth sent directly
to your smart phone.
Council is now using a free app
called TIQBIZ to communicate
with local parents, grandparents
and carers. Download the app
at www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/

If you identify a potentially homeless person sleeping
rough, you can report the matter to Neil Rogers on

5-star food safety focus

month for achieving 5 stars for best practice in food
safety standards.

Find out which local restaurants have a 5-star rating in Council’s free
online guide at www.whitehorse.vic.gov.au/Food-Hygiene-System.html
In June, Council announced its purchase of
the former school site for $6 million to enable
the development of a Community Hub. The
new facility will accommodate community
services currently at Silver Grove, in addition
to others that respond to community need
into the future. The existing heritage building
will be retained and refurbished.
The guide covers local restaurants, cafes, takeaway shops, bakeries and
delicatessens, as well as hotels, aged and childcare facilities and hospitals.
It is put together as part of Council’s 5-Star Food Hygiene
Assessment System, which evaluates standards for food premises
handling perishable and potentially hazardous foods.
All food businesses that achieve 5 stars are listed in an annual booklet
and go in the running for the Food Premises of the Year award.
For more details on the program, phone Environmental Health on 9262 6197.

ouncil is working towards the development of a new Community Hub at
the former Nunawading Primary School site over the next three years, but
before this can go ahead you will notice quite a bit of activity taking place.
Tasks to be commenced over the coming
weeks include:
• removal of graffiti from the heritage building
• a detailed survey of the existing conditions
of the site and adjacent streets
• maintenance work on the grassed areas
• removal of dumped rubbish
• removal of a number of trees that are in
poor health.
The purchase and upgrade of this neglected open space and heritage building by Council is exciting
and will benefit our residents and provide a well utilised community hub.

special event at Box Hill Community Arts Centre.
On Friday 19 June a screening night was held for the Paper and Popcorn Short Film and
Story competition, which gives young people an opportunity to showcase their talents
to the community.
The screening night was a fun event where filmmakers got to see their works
on the silver screen, a selection of stories were read out by authors and
funds were raised for the Sanctuary Australia Foundation.
Yet again the FReeZa competition attracted a high standard of films and

• Collect the evidence (copies of the conversations)
• If it continues, contact the police.
Nowadays all a hacker has to do is offer something free
to download, with a hidden virus, and they can wreak
havoc on your machine and access your personal details.
However it is always easier to be immunised against the
plague than it is to treat it. With that in mind, here are
some handy tips:
Even with the pinnacle of virus protection, the weakest
point of technology will always be humans.
• Be careful when sharing private information
Cyber bullying takes many forms, such as abusive or hurtful
messages, intimidation to do something you don’t want to
do, exclusion online, gossip, and sharing private or hurtful
videos and images online.
Once you know what cyber bullying looks like you can take
proactive steps to defeating it. These steps include:
• Talk to someone you trust straight away
• Don’t retaliate or respond – they might use it against you
• Block the bully and change your privacy settings
• Report the abuse to the service and get others to as well
• Exercise restraint when uploading and sharing photos
• Don’t respond to emails or messages while angry
• Don't reply to messages from cyber bullies
• Set up your privacy options to suit you.
If you are having a hard time with cyber bullying, or life
in general, feel free to visit Youth ConneXions located at
Suite 2, Level 1, Box Hill Centre, Box Hill (enter from the
mall and take the lift next to Platform 3). The centre
is open from 1pm-5pm each weekday. Alternatively,
you can phone Youth ConneXions on 9898 9340.
helping students soar
Encouraging results from a pilot program to help students
develop important life skills have led to the pilot being expanded
this year.
Piloted at two local schools, the “Triple R - Robust, Resilient, Ready to
Go” program was designed to strengthen children’s positive thinking
to manage life transitions such as moving on to high school.
As part of the program, pupils took part in activities based on
mindfulness and learnt other strategies to assist children to
manage friendships, new beginnings, cope with worries, make
decisions and understand their emotions and reactions.
A preliminary evaluation by Monash University showed very
encouraging results. Across participating schools, there is a
trend towards increased mindfulness skills and a decrease
in emotional symptoms which can impact upon well-being,
school attendance and academic engagement.
New groups of students from Wattle Park Primary School and
Roberts McCubbin Primary School are now completing the
program and participants from 2014 are receiving booster
sessions each term.
The Triple R program also included training for school staff and
information sessions for parents, which were well attended.
Topics covered were anxiety, mindfulness and resilience.
A handbook is being developed so that other schools can
replicate the program.
The Whitehorse School Focused Youth Service is funding
CatholicCare to deliver the program.
For more details, phone the Whitehorse School Focused Youth
Service Coordinator Kodie Webb on 9262 6374 or email

Building Resilience
in Adolescents
PARENT INFORMATION FORUM
Building resilience is an important part
of adolescent development. When young
people are resilient, they cope better with
difficult situations.
Research conducted by Resilient Youth
Australia on more than 17,000 young people
has painted a clear picture of the strengths
and vulnerabilities of young people, as well as
what we can all do to promote great lives for
our kids.
Resilient Youth Australia Director and clinical
psychologist Andrew Fuller will share research
insights and explore how parents can assist
their child to build resilience at the September
Parent Information Forum.
When: Tuesday 1 September, 7.30pm-9.30pm
Where: Willis Room, Whitehorse Centre,
rear of 397 Whitehorse Road, Nunawading
Cost: $10 payable on the night.

performing in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington
and New York.
She also performed in Joseph and the

Olivia’s achievements in musical theatre at Koonung
Secondary College have seen her star in the main

this year and in principle roles in previous school
musicals Grease and Urinetown.
A typical week for Olivia includes study, homework,
school musical rehearsals, singing lessons, YABC
rehearsals and other musical rehearsals.
Up until recently she also played netball with the
Blackburn Burners and in the Interschool hockey
team (twice becoming state champions) until her
school and performance commitments became
too much.
Despite her busy schedule, Olivia was elected Vice
Captain of her school.

and well-mannered and always strives for the best.
She is a talented singer and performer who relishes

Lead with Courage and Resilience
M

ly
argie Warrell wants to empower you to lead a more
purposeful life and engage in bigger conservations.
The bestselling author, leadership coach and media commentator
is sharing her secrets to success and maintaining motivation at the
Whitehorse Business Week Women in Business Luncheon.
Founding CEO of Global Courage, a women’s leadership development
organisation, Margie is a passionate advocate for gender equality and
empowering women.
Here’s what Margie told us about succeeding in the business world:
What are some of the common challenges facing women
in business today?
From unconscious bias to negative female stereotypes to the lack of
affordable childcare, Australian women face a myriad of challenges
in creating successful businesses and careers. That said, none are
insurmountable and there is also a lot of great things going for women
as the increasing recognition on the value of gender diversity fuels
initiatives to help more women stay in the workforce and move up into
more senior leadership roles.
However to seize these opportunities and overcome the hurdles along
the way, we have to believe in ourselves and value of what we have to
contribute. Doing so builds resilience and helps us put ourselves “out
there”, taking courageous risks and standing up for ourselves when
needed. In short, we’ve got to doubt ourselves much less and back
ourselves more.
What can women do to empower each other in the business world?
I think we owe it to each other to ‘lift as we climb’ - something I’ve
written and spoken about often. That can take many forms. An
encouraging word to someone who is unsure of themselves, making
that introduction, writing a recommendation, sharing a helpful resource
or putting in a good word for someone.
What does it mean to you to “lead with courage and resilience”?
It’s my passionate belief that courageous action lies at the heart of
every worthwhile endeavour. That is, laying our vulnerability on the line
for something that is more important than our pride or ego. And so I
believe that we cannot be effective leaders – of ourselves or others –
unless we are willing to take risks, say what we feel needs to be said
and do what we believe needs to be done (however scary!).

Creating a High
Performance Environment
Sponsor Lunch
When: Friday 14 August, 12 noon-2pm
Where: Box Hill Golf Club,
Cost: $55
Speaker: Leigh Russell, organisational development
specialist and Foxtel’s Coach on The Recruit
Further enhance the performance of your
business by creating a high functioning
workplace environment.
At this business luncheon, Leigh Russell
will share her experience and expertise
in developing and delivering culture and
wellbeing strategies to get the most out of
you and the people you work with.
Leigh’s presentation will focus on
leadership and personal development,
and cover strategies you can implement
in your own workplace to create a high
performance environment.
But resilience is also essential because let’s face it, life doesn’t
always go to plan and setbacks, disappointments and miss-steps are
inevitable. Learning how to interpret our failures and setbacks in
ways that enable us to learn the valuable lessons and then move on
more intelligently is vital. So too is not taking rejection or criticism too
personally, failing fast, and dealing with difficult people (because let’s
face it, there are plenty of them!).
Margie Warrell's top five tips for businesses
• Stay focused and be willing to say
no to the good to keep space for
the great. It’s easy to get spread
too thin and say yes to every good
opportunity, offer or invite that
comes along. But if you want to
create something special, you have
to be clear about what it is so you
can say no to the many things that
could pull you off course.
•R
each out and connect
with people whenever you
get the chance. Nothing
builds a business faster,
particularly in the beginning,
than a strong network of
personal relationships.
• Ask for support. Most people are
happy to help you but they need
to know how. Don’t deprive
them of that opportunity.
• Don’t make rejection mean that
you don’t have value to add.
Look for anything it can teach
you and press on.
• Do one thing every day outside
your comfort zone. As I wrote in
my latest book Brave, we build
bravery every time we act with
it. Doing something small every
day that stretches you, even
a little, builds your “courage
muscles” for the times you really
need to dig deep!

Cycle Safe Community
AUGUST 2015
It’s a Two Way Street
Can you see yourself in these images?
We all like to believe we’re safe on the roads, but the fact is that a road incident
can happen to anyone.
Your actions can make a difference, which is why Council has joined forces with
the Amy Gillett Foundation to promote the importance of cyclists and motorists
sharing roads and paths safely.
Cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on our roads
because they don’t have the same protection that a vehicle provides to drivers
and passengers. They therefore suffer more serious injuries if involved in a crash.
Vulnerable road users were involved in almost one third of all road injuries and
deaths in Whitehorse during 2009-2013.
Whitehorse City Council (along with many other councils and shires across the
country) is using resources from the Cycle Safe Community program, designed
by the Amy Gillett Foundation, to ensure consistent messages about road safety
are embedded in the Australian community.
Council will be using the key messages featured in the graphics on this page and
other resources at events and in media publications to remind the Whitehorse
community that bike riders, pedestrians, drivers and motor bike riders are all
legitimate road users and we all need to show mutual respect.
Some of Council’s transport events and programs targeting schools, businesses
and community groups include:
• Ride to Work Day
• Ride to School Day
• Bike Education programs
• Bike maintenance workshops
• Bike It
Know and obey
the road rules

It has been a busy couple of months. The
Blackburn Lake Sanctuary play space was
officially opened on 11 June and it has been
extremely popular, especially during school
holidays. The design complements the local
environment and provides play equipment
which is accessible for all residents. As I walked
along the pathway I could not resist having a
play on the timber xylophone. I am sure many
parents, grandparents, carers and children will
enjoy many happy times at this play space.
On 14 June I joined the volunteers at the
Blackburn Creeklands to see their planting
efforts at the recently re-established billabong.
The Blackburn Creeklands Advisory Committee
had wanted to re-establish the billabong
which has been an original feature many years
ago. Through re-direction of storm water this
has been achieved and the area is currently
being planted by the volunteers using plants
from Greenlink and Bungalook nurseries. The
habitat will enable the return of local wildlife
and I am sure we will hear frogs there soon.
On 20 June I attended the Whitehorse
Women’s Forum on the topic of elder
abuse which can be simply verbal or may
be physical. The speakers provided some
practical information and highlighted the
importance of raising awareness about
this very sad issue. If you believe you know
someone who is suffering elder abuse
contact the police or Seniors Rights Victoria
on 1300 368 821.
The Whitehorse Business Group held a
Women’s Forum with Rosie Batty, Australian
of the Year, as their guest speaker. The
audience was very moved
by all she said and it also
raised awareness of the anger
management and family
violence issues some are
exposed to.
I attended an interesting MAV
Conference on the topic of
“Future of Local Government”.
There were some interesting
case studies discussed from
cities in various parts of the
world where they had trialled
some new approaches to
budgeting and input from
the community.
I attended the AGM for LinC,
one of our many volunteer organisations
providing practical services to those needing
support in our community. They have seen a
growth in demand in the last year and their
volunteers have delivered many more hours
of services. Mark Robb was awarded a 10
year recognition certificate for the services
he has provided through LINC. The
generosity of volunteers continues
to be an inspiration.

175th Anniversary of the Establishment of
Local Government in Australia
This year represents the 175-year anniversary
of the establishment of Local Government in
Australia and also of the City of Adelaide. In its
175 years, preceding even the formation of the
Federation, Local Government has evolved to
become a well- developed national network of
around 560 councils Australia-wide providing
a range of more than 150 essential services to
communities, employing 190,000 people and
managing more than $350 billion in assets,
including local roads infrastructure valued at
$165 billion. Although it is dubbed the third
tier of government, Local Government has led
the way as the level of government formed in
Australia to respond to the needs of the local
community. As the level of government closest
to the community, and the local manifestation
of government on the ground, this anniversary
is a good reminder of the important role
of councils and Local Government in our
Federation and of the necessary support from
the Commonwealth for the Local Government
to match its growing responsibilities.
Volunteer Policy Handbook Organisational Development departments.
Council strives to implement best practice
standards in volunteer management with
these two departments working with the
volunteer managers to develop a Volunteer
Handbook, which contains a section on our
shared values including a code of conduct. Our
newly developed Volunteer Policy will also be
placed at the back of the handbook, so that all
volunteers have it close at hand to refer to. The
policy contains a page that all volunteers will be
required to sign, in regard to adhering to our
shared values.
in 2017-2018. For Whitehorse this means there
will be an increase in funding for 2015/2016
of up to $358,075 and 2016/2017 an increase
of up to $960,836. Funds provided under the
Roads to Recovery Program are intended to
be in addition to council spending on roads.
Additional road projects for 2015/2016 and
2016/2017 are currently being considered.
Councillor Robert Chong welcoming Matsudo
student Naoya Katayama at Koonung High.
Additional Roads to Recovery
Funding announced Council has more than 400 volunteers that
work across the organisation in a variety of
areas. These volunteers are managed directly
by staff in the service area which they work in;
however, they are coordinated and supported
at a higher level by Councils Community and
The Federal Government has announced that
it will boast Roads to Recovery funding to
Council. It will provide an additional $1.105
billion in funding for the Roads to Recovery
(R2R) Program nationally over the next two
years. The Roads to Recovery program will
revert back to its base funding of $350 million
The business sessions covered things such as:
David Parkin Oration
• Proposing Federal Government reinstatement
of pensioner concessions under the National
Partnership Agreement
The 2015 David Parkin Oration for Sport and
Social Change, hosted by our local Deakin
University centred on the pressures and
challenges faced by sportsmen and women in
both elite and any other competitive sport. The
point was made that participant welfare both
physical and mental was second only to good
governance in any sporting club. Council is
mindful of the duty of care of our local sporting
clubs and endeavours to offer assistance as
much as possible. The goal is a healthy and
vibrant community by promoting lifelong
participation in sport and exercise at all levels.

Canberra Conference
I was fortunate to be able to attend the
Australian Local Government Association
conference held in Canberra mid-June.
The conference was themed as “Closest
to the Community: Local Government in
the Federation.”
The hot topics were to do with the current work
being done on reform of the Federation and
taxation issues.
• Accelerating the National Television and
Computer Recycling Scheme (quotas have
now been increased as of 1 July)
• Call on Commonwealth and State
Governments to increase support to
provide Affordable Housing for the most
disadvantaged.
There were many excellent keynote speakers.
Perhaps surprisingly I was impressed by the Hon.
Warren Truss MP, Deputy Prime Minister, who
has had a background in local government and
made the very valid point, I thought, that Local
Government needs to better engage with the
local community and demonstrate the “value
proposition” of local government as the third
tier of Government.
The Little Things?
A resident contacted me earlier this year about
the lack of a disabled parking space at the
Horticultural Centre, Jolimont Road, Forest Hill.
I’m pleased to say that a new space has recently
been provided at this facility that hosts many
local groups in our area.
A little thing maybe, but one of the things
that Council does to improve the quality of life
in our community!
Until next time, best wishes.

Whitehorse is fortunate to have a number of

they provide a great opportunity for fitness

but they also offer a great social atmosphere

This ticks all the boxes for a healthy lifestyle.

The location of approximately 1.9
hectares will become the site for the new
Nunawading Community Hub which will
comprise all of the Silver Grove activities
relocated to the new site. There will be a
significant area of the site that may become
available for expanded open space as the
new building facility will not take up all
of the space. The redevelopment of the
Silver Grove activities has been planned for
over a decade but was deferred in order to
redevelop the Box Hill Aqualink which was
falling into disrepair.
I suggest that future
budgets will be a
significant challenge
to balance community
expectations for more
and better facilities
and services on the
one hand and fiscal
restraint on the other
– it is highly probable
that one will have to
be achieved at the
expense of the other.
On Monday 22 June, Council passed
the 2015-2016 budget. This budget
includes the commitment to proceed
with the construction of the Nunawading
Community Hub. It is also the last budget
before rate capping is imposed on Council
starting from next year. As such it has
entailed a number of very difficult but
necessary decisions in order to enable
future rate capped budgets to remain
financially sustainable going forward.

It is with great pleasure that I am able
to write about Council’s purchase of the
Nunawading Primary School site. Residents
of Springfield Ward have made it very
clear that they wanted the site retained for
community use rather than developed for
residential purposes. Council has delivered.
I would like to acknowledge the
commitment and endeavour of my Ward

and advocating to achieve this outcome.
Until next time, stay well.
Walking your dog
T
here are more than 300 parks, including 19 dog off lead areas,
where animal lovers can take their dogs to play, exercise or take
part in obedience training.
Regular walks are not only enjoyable for
dogs, but have wonderful health benefits
for dog owners. However, pet owners
must be aware of their responsibilities
and surroundings because ultimately
owners are responsible for the behaviour
of their dogs.
in parks and public areas can lead to
environmental issues, such as high
levels of nitrate in local waterways. It
is an offence not to carry a litter device
or remove and dispose of your dog’s
faeces. Owners who fail to do so can be
fined $250.
Remember that dogs must be on a lead
at all times unless in a dog off lead area
and whilst you may let your dog run free
in designated areas, they must still be
under your control at all times, especially
near bike paths.
Certain areas in parks, such as
playgrounds, picnic areas and sporting
fields, are set aside for use by other
members of the community. Council
reminds dog owners to keep their pets
away from those areas. In all public
areas, always ensure your dog wears
its registration tag.
Council is reminding dog owners to
always carry a litter bag and clean
up after their pooches when taking

ARTIST IN
RESIDENCE
Artist passionate
about helping others
V
isual artist Melissa Peacock gets a buzz from creating
opportunities for people and witnessing their newfound
pride discovered through art.
As part of Melissa’s residency at Box Hill Community Art Centre (BHCAC), she
is running the booked out “Drawsome” workshops for adults with a disability.
These workshops provide an opportunity for participants to develop, explore and
experiment with skills, mediums and tools in drawing, as well as the chance to
meet and make new friends.
Melissa, who has worked in the disability field for 15 years, said she was
delighted that funding provided through her residency has enabled her to offer
the workshops for free.
Life reflected in art
J
o Amiet felt such an incredible spiritual impact from indigenous
art and culture that it continues to inspire her mixed media work.
The Ringwood-based artist’s abstract pieces will be featured later this month at
Box Hill Community Arts Centre (BHCAC) in an exhibition titled Layers and Trails.
While working in the Northern Territory, Jo found the intrinsic connection that
indigenous art has with the earth unique and profoundly emotional, and she
references some of that imagery, pattern and perspective in her work.
Jo’s exhibition uses many mediums including recycled and found objects that
use imagery, text, colour, texture and pattern to tell stories about the layers of
relationships we have with many people and overlapping experiences shared
with family, friends and strangers.
Four pieces titled Making tracks use clothes, drawings and photographs to explore
various places she has lived and the memories of those places in retrospect.
Another work A dream of mine, a lino print, depicts how figures, people and
spirits are essentially part of the earth. The largest piece Feel like the world
is an impressionist landscape made entirely of old cloths and fabrics that she
printed or painted.
“It is refreshing and inspiring to tutor,
mentor and support people who have
such open honesty as to the person
they are – and it goes directly onto
the paper. For some, anxiety
can get in the way of trying
new things but having the
opportunity to express this both
on paper and verbally too, is a
very therapeutic thing and for
some, can alleviate anxiety,”
Melissa said.
Layers and Trails is showing from 18-30 August at Box Hill
Community Arts Centre, 470 Station Street, Box Hill. The
opening event is on Thursday 20 August from 6pm-8pm.
Located in the award-winning BHCAC
building, the light-filled gallery comes
equipped with a hanging system,
display cabinets, professional lighting
and an adjoining lounge/kitchen area.
Her students will select at least one
piece of art from their large body of
works to be featured in the Drawsome
exhibition at BHCAC later this year.
