Saturday 14th May saw a bus load of U 3 A folk off for a fun day out at Kilmore Races. We arrived about one hour before the first race and settled in on our long table set behind full glass windows overlooking the finishing post, what more could you ask for on a winters day. Some opted to place a bet on the races, some went in to tickle the pokies and some just sat back and unwound from the hustle and bustle of everyday life enjoying seeing the jockeys mount up and horses lead out onto the race track for the next big race. A beautiful lunch of either lasagne, chips and salad or chicken parma chips and salad was next up on the agenda followed by strawberry baskets with ice-cream or cheesecake and cream warmed the cockles of our hearts. A lot of musical chairs went on throughout the day with lots of laughter, especially when Jan Newton couldnt read the print in the race book so she opted for a mystery bet only to win $50 on one the next race, and 5 other women pooled their money into a kitty for the days betting, picking the horses by their names and not on form guide, to come out with their money back was fun. We did hear of one BIG win at the pokies but wont mention names and believe this win is going towards a holiday north? Well done S..ah and B..yl . Thanks to Dennis Hodge who was our Bus Driver his smooth trip home gave Peter Luke time for a wee nap, and to Odette Hunter thanks again for giving us this opportunity to share time together and have a laugh.

FLOWERDALE Tennis Clubs new courts were finished with less than 24 hours to spare for their official opening earlier this month. Finishing touches were added to the four new synthetic grass courts a day before the May 7 opening which attracted more than 180, including members of the Yea Tennis Club, Glenbervie Tennis Club in Essendon, representatives of the NSW Malua Bay Tennis Club, Murrindindi Shire representatives, VicSport and the Flowerdale community. Ms Kamar said 56 people participated in a round-robin before the official opening by the Member for Seymour, Cindy McLeish. Junior winners were Bryn Thomson, 10, of Fairfield and Sarah Kielbaska, 12, of Flowerdale. Senior winners were Fiona Henson and Chris Adshead. Adults and juniors later enjoyed trying out Tennis Victorias radar gun that measured serving speed and Flowerdales coach Colin Grace joined with Tennis Victoria in taking about 20 juniors through their paces on the hot shots program Flowerdale Tennis Club president Jeannette Kamar said that the club looked forward to seeing maximum use of the courts. These courts are not just for the tennis club but for the whole community, Ms Kamar said. Ms Kamar said there were many to thank for the courts, including the state and federal governments, Murrindindi Shire and Tennis Victoria. Ms Kamar said the Glenbervie Tennis Club provided wonderful moral support to the club in the aftermath of the fires and over the past two years and donated $15,000. Malua Bay Tennis Club also made a special donation after hearing of the clubs efforts. Id also like to thank the Flowerdale Cricket Club and the Spring Valley Recreation Reserve committee of management who have both provided enormous support to our club, Ms Kamar said. Ms Kamar said the Flowerdale community has also provided financial and moral support, enabling the club to raise $65,000 towards the $240,000- plus project. Ms McLeish said the courts added to the opportunities provided by the Spring Valley Recreation Reserve. What a fabulous facility this is now becoming, Ms McLeish said. Flowerdale has always been a strong community and even more so since the fires. The Victorian Government is committed to continuing to support fire affected communities such as Flowerdale. Thankyou to Samm our local photographer who took the pictures on the day & night

Mayors Comment At its May meeting Council resolved to grant a notice of decision for a permit for the replacement of the Glenburn Community Hall. This is a community owned and run facility, the redevelopment of which has had considerable community involvement. At the same meeting Council also gave notice of decision to grant a permit for the construction of a restaurant on the corner of Margaret Street and Kinglake-Whittlesea Road, Kinglake West. Both of these applications appeared before Council as objections had been received. Council can only consider planning issues when considering applications and in both matters the majority of councillors believed that all planning requirements had been met. At a Special meeting held on the same day Council resolved to put on public exhibition and call for comments on its Council Plan, which incorporates the Strategic Resource Plan and Draft Budget. Submissions will be taken up to Friday 1 July. A Special meeting of Council will be held on 6 July to hear any submissions received and Council will then make a decision of all matters on 13 July. Community Information sessions will be held at Yea, Alexandra ,Marysville and Kinglake through June to assist the public in understanding the documents. Submissions can be made in writing or via email to msc@murrindindi.vic.gov.au . All of the documents can be found onCouncils website at www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au with hardcopies at all of Councils Offices at Alexandra, Yea and Kinglake from Thursday. Please feel free to contact the council offices if you require further assistance and Councillors are available to also assist. Our contact details are available from Council Offices or on Councils web site. Plan outlines Councils objectives for 2011-12 The key document supporting the development of Murrindindi Shire Councils draft 2011-12 Budget, is the Council Plan, which also incorporates the Strategic Resource Plan. In releasing the 2011-12 draft Budget for public comment, Mayor Peter Beales said the Council Plan highlighted the major objectives for the Council during the next 12 months. Our updated plan aligns with Councils policies, strategies, budget and other corporate documents. It is no easy task in developing a Council Plan. We have many challenges in an effort to support our diverse and wide-spread shire, Cr Beales said. We have taken into account the need to support our business community, the continued focus on major infrastructure maintenance and upgrades, and those essential community services that are vital in assisting an ageing population. We have certainly set high standards for the next 12 months in delivering the key objectives of our plan. There is a significant focus on community and youth services, the environment, recreational services and local economy. Cr Beales said the Council Plan highlighted Councils key role in advocating for its community. Now more than ever we need to continue to build on our relationship with the new State Government, he said. Our Strategic Resource Plan makes it extremely clear that there is a growing gap in Councils ability to meet future maintenance and renewal costs, while the Council Plan also highlights the need for greater public transport opportunities, aged-care services and support for public housing. Cr Beales said the Council Plan told a good story of a proactive organisation whose workforce was committed to delivering for its community. We value input from the community and both the draft Budget and Council Plan will be open for public submissions from Thursday 2 June and closing on Friday 1 July 2011. Written submissions on any proposal within the draft Budget and Council Plan can be made via email to msc@murrindindi.vic.gov.au or posted to Murrindindi Shire Council, PO Box 138, Alexandra, 3714. Submissions will be accepted until 5pm Friday 1 July 2011. By working with our community, businesses and key stakeholders, we have the right framework to continue to deliver for the Murrindindi Shire and enhance our reputation as a great place to life, work, invest and visit, Cr Beales said.

Draft Budget highlights challenges ahead Murrindindi Shire Council has released its draft 2011-12 Budget which highlights a proposed $11.84 million capital works program, a level of operating expenditure that ensures a continued effort to maintain the existing range and level of service provisions, and provision for establishing an infrastructure maintenance reserve. In releasing the draft Budget and Council Plan, which also incorporates the Strategic Resource Plan (SRP), Mayor Peter Beales said there were clear and significant challenges ahead in meeting future maintenance and renewal costs. We have taken the significant step of looking at Councils finances across a 10-year timeframe and it shows that we are facing a significant gap on future asset and maintenance cost projections, Cr Beales said. As a result of the key findings in the Strategic Resource Plan we are proposing a rate increase of 8 per cent of the rate in the dollar for 2011-12. Growth of 1 per cent in the rate base has also been allowed for and together with waste management charges, contributes to the total rate revenue of $13.714 million. The percentage increase of the rate in the dollar, combined with the increase in waste management charges, equates to an increase in revenue of rates and charges on the previous year of 10.07 per cent or $1.254 million. Two per cent of the rate rise will be directed to the infrastructure maintenance reserve to meet future demands on buildings across the shire. The increase will also be applied to the municipal charge. Municipal waste collection charges will rise by 8 per cent to meet State Government levies. This will allow Council to meet its existing services levels, fund some new initiatives, but importantly continue to allocate additional funds to renew the municipalitys infrastructure, Cr Beales said. Our decision to support the infrastructure maintenance reserve will see $207,000 allocated in 2011-12. It is important that our community is aware that we face a massive challenge in meeting future operating and maintenance costs as a result of Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority (VBRRA) assets coming under Councils control. We are facing additional annual costs over the next decade of $1.8 million, comprising maintenance and operating costs of $1.2 million and $600,000 in depreciation of the new assets. Failure to meet that objective will see Murrindindi Shire Council facing an $18.9 million renewal gap at 2021-22. Cr Beales said Council had opted for a 10 year approach to its Strategic Resource Plan, so that future Councils would be aware of the need for prudent budgeting and financial strategies. If we follow the principles of our SRP, we will go a long way in achieving financial stability. We are in a position where we can enjoy a range of new and enhanced assets, but we must be smart in terms of taking on new projects into the future, Cr Beales said. As a Council we are also continually exploring opportunities to reduce demands on Councils longer term finances. This has included a request to the CEO to report options including asset sales, policy changes and operational efficiencies to assist with revenue and saving opportunities to reduce further rate burdens on ratepayers. It is important that we also have the support of the State Government and we will continue to advocate and lobby to obtain long-term external funding to meet the future costs of renewal and maintenance of our assets. Cr Beales said it was important people made time to review the documents. While they show tough times ahead, the documents also highlight our strategies to continue to support our community. It is important that the quality of life and Council services that are enjoyed by communities across the shire are maintained and enhanced and in a way that does not place a massive rate burden on households, landholders and businesses. As a Council we believe that we can provide a financially strong organisation with the support of our community.

Council making prudent and responsible budget decisions Asset sales, operating efficiencies and policy changes are among a range of items that will be considered in reducing demands on Councils longer term finances. Mayor Peter Beales said significant initiatives included a review of its rating strategy, a review of Council assets, its property portfolio and its fees and charges. We are advanced in making further savings in expenditure and developing business cases to realise increases in nonrate revenue, Cr Beales said Council has asked for the CEO to report on options for asset sales, policy changes, operating efficiencies, staff reductions, changes in fees and charges and changes in services that will ensure the establishment of an infrastructure renewal reserve sufficient to rectify the current infrastructure gap faced by Council, and provide a sustainable cash flow while limiting further rate increases in the following 10 years to 6 per cent of less. This report will determine what strategic approach Council will need to take in reviewing our budget planning with the goal of reducing the rate burden on ratepayers. We are committed to reducing expenditure and operational costs. We have met some significant targets with keeping operational cost levels below the Municipal Association of Victoria cost index of 4 per cent and our future commitment is to meet or better this benchmark. There has been a reduction in staff numbers with the Kinglake Early Learning Centre becoming a community managed service and we have decided against any new operational initiatives being funded in 2011-12 to achieve our longer term objective of reducing our infrastructure renewal gap. There will be a review of our services by October this year, with plans to implement those findings during the 2011-12 financial year. Cr Beales said the long term financial sustainability of the Council was the clear priority for the current Council and had been emphasised through the impact of significant ongoing operating costs from bushfire assets taken on by Council from the Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority. . Tough decisions have to be made. We are being upfront about our longer term challenges both for the Council and the community, he said. Our ratepayers can be assured that while we have proposed an 8 per cent increase in rates in 2011/12, this has been decided through a significantly prudent budget process that is also delivering savings and exploring methods for alternative income. A key factor will also be our continued strong advocacy to the State Government for continued financial support. Public information sessions to outline draft Budget details Four public information sessions will be held across Murrindindi Shire during the draft Budget exhibition period. Mayor Peter Beales said the sessions were a good opportunity for people to get an overview of Councils budget process, information and objectives contained within Councils Plan, incorporating Strategic Resource Plan. The two documents will be available for comment from Thursday 2 June 2011 and while I encourage people to take the time to read the publications, the information sessions will outline some of the more pertinent details contained in those documents, Cr Beales said. People will also have the opportunity to talk with our finance staff at these sessions. They will be held: Tuesday 14 June: 5.30pm 7pm Yea, the Semi Circle, Yea. Wednesday 15 June: 5.30-7pm at the Rebuilding Advisory Centre (RAC), 5 Murchison Street, Marysville. Thursday 16 June: 7pm-8.30pm at the RAC, 2970 Kinglake-Heidelberg Road, Kinglake. Wednesday 22 June: 5.30-7pm at Alexandra Council Chambers, Perkins Street, Alexandra. Written submissions on the draft Budget can be made via email to msc@murrindindi.vic.gov.au or posted to Murrindindi Shire Council, PO Box 138, Alexandra, 3714. Submissions will be accepted until 5pm Friday 1 July 2011.

Capital works program targets old and new
Capital works across Murrindindi Shire in 2011-12 will total $11.8 million and will see a mix of projects that will be beneficial to communities and the shire as a whole. Mayor Peter Beales said the program had been divided into three categories; new works, renewal and upgrade. This will see: $5.55 million expended on renewal investments $3.42 million expended on new assets $2.87 million expended on upgrades. Once again we have set a challenging works program that will see a considerable focus on roads, streets and bridges. The program will also see a continuation of major projects in fire affected communities, Cr Beales said. Our capital works program funding comprises rates monies, grants, insurance monies and carry forward funds, and in some cases loans. In 2011-12 $4.7 million has been set aside for works on local roads, footpaths, bike paths and street lighting. A further $148,000 will be expended on drainage projects. We will see a number of exciting projects start in 2011-12 which include the $1.12 million Yea Saleyards development and the $1.75 million Yea Wetlands Visitor Information facility, Cr Beales said. These projects will have significant benefits across the shire. The upgrade of the saleyards will continue to enhance the reputation of the Yea facility as one of the best regional complexes in the state while the wetlands tourist facility will help promote all great tourism aspects associated with our shire. Cr Beales said the shires libraries had again been supported in the budget process with $116,000 set aside for new library book stock. Our libraries and mobile library provide outstanding services and they are extremely well patronised. This proposed funding will allow those services to continue to be enhanced. Cr Beales said it was important people took the time to read the draft Budget, Strategic Resource Plan and Council Plan. Our capital works program presents challenges in meeting needs across our large shire. I believe we have come to a good mix of projects and renewal programs that will continue to provide safe and serviceable assets for our community. Council will borrow $900,000 in 2011-12 with a further $500,000 per annum for the life of the Strategic Resource Plan to assist funding of long term assets. The 2011-12 borrowings include $400,000 for the construction of the roof at the Yea Saleyards, which will be repaid from future saleyard earnings. The draft Budget will be open for public comment from Thursday 2 June. Written submissions on the draft Budget can be made via email to msc@murrindindi.vic.gov.au or posted to Murrindindi Shire Council, PO Box 138, Alexandra, 3714. Submissions will be accepted until 5pm Friday 1 July 2011. Projects to be supported in the draft 2011-12 capital works program included: $1.75 million Yea Wetlands Visitor Information facility $1.27 million bridge renewals and rebuilds, shire-wide $1.12 million Yea Saleyards development $993,000 gravel road re sheeting, shire-wide $990,000 sealed road programs, shire-wide $698,000 Gallipoli Park Pavilion rebuild, Marysville $300,000 Toolangi all purpose track $278,000 Kinglake Memorial Park facilities $65,000 Buxton Streetscape $50,000 Eildon Swimming Pool $49,000 General pool maintenance and clubroom facilities $45,000 Marysville Caravan Park amenities $20,000 Taggerty picnic area $20,000 Pheasant Creek Streetscape $15,000 Alexandra Leisure Centre

Kinglake pool study results go on public display Public comment is being sought on the findings of the Kinglake Ranges Aquatic Feasibility Study findings that have been presented to the Kinglake Ranges Community Building Initiative (CBI). Murrindindi Shire Council supported the CBI steering committee in establishing the feasibility study following a successful bid by the committee to secure $50,000 through the McPherson Smith Community Alliance. Mayor Peter Beales said the findings for the development of an indoor heated aquatic facility in Kinglake would be important for the Kinglake Ranges community as it provided a comprehensive analysis of the market, demand, capacity to pay as well as the detail required infrastructure costs to support such a facility. The CBI has been a key driver behind this project. They will now take the findings to the Kinglake Ranges community for dissemination. It will be important that the community is fully aware of the options, costs and on-going maintenance of any pool proposal, Cr Beales said. I would encourage the community to take part in any future consultation and engagement processes set up with the CBI. The CBIs Fiona Leadbeater said a pool had been a long standing desire of the community and the study provided much needed analysis in determining what course of future action was needed. Kinglake Ranges CBI plans to undertake a community feedback seminar in the coming months. The study will be presented at this seminar, which will give the community an opportunity to provide feedback on the study, Ms Leadbeater said. For further information about the Community Building Initiative and the study people are asked to contact Buffy Leadbeater on 0458 722 853. The study will be available to view at: Kinglake West, Kinglake Middle and Kinglake Primary Schools Kinglake Rebuilding Advisory Centre Kinglake District Service Centre Murrindindi Shire Council website www.murrindindi.vic.gov.au Kinglake Ranges News Website www.kinglakerangesnews.com.au
