Principal’s principles
By Kate Taylor

Bacchus Marsh Grammar is likely to move out of Moorabool if a

Principal Andrew Neal has concerns if the amended permit is approved for putrescible waste at the Maddingley Brown Coal site.

proposal by Maddingley Brown Coal to start dumping putrescible waste
at its tip goes through.
“Yes, the school will be seriously considering whether its current
location is a viable location for a school - the bottom line is, Moorabool
can have a big tip or a big school but it can’t have both,” Principal of
Bacchus Marsh Grammar Andrew Neal told the Moorabool News.
“For us it’s not an angry thing, it’s a really simple thing - the two land
uses don’t co-exist.”
Mr Neal pointed out the school has already been closely co-existing
with the tip – but that changing the tip to include putrescible waste
could spell the end for the campus.
“If there is an expansion of the nature of the facility then it’s probably a
step too far for the school. It’s as simple as that.
“Of our total enrolment, about 700 students come out of Moorabool –
but the other 1,800 of those students come from the western suburbs
of Melbourne and if we are forced to relocate, there is a certain logic to
move out of Moorabool.”
The ramifications would be huge – Bacchus Marsh Grammar is the fifth-
largest independent school in the state, it’s the largest in the Western
suburbs and the largest from Maribyrnong to the border, with 2,500
students.
“Being such a large school has economic advantages for Bacchus Marsh
and generates activity in and around the community; if we were forced
into relocating, it would have a significant impact,” Mr Neal explained.
“For a whole lot of historical and aesthetic reasons we would like to
remain in Moorabool because one of the features we have is that with
the parents, they like students to be educated in a rural environment - a
putrescible waste dump next door is not really conducive to that,” he
said.
The school would, unsurprisingly, be likely to have difficulty attracting
students if it is located next to a putrescible waste dump.
“When I arrived as Principal 21-years ago there was one file on the desk
- and that file related to the land use at the back of the school, the tip. We
don’t particularly like the situation now, but the putrescible waste dump
that Maddingley Brown Coal is proposing is a step too far and this is the
straw that breaks the camel’s back.
“Imagine that you’re a parent from Altona and you’re driving in to
potentially put your child into Bacchus Marsh Grammar and you come
up the southern entrance of the town and you have a putrescible waste
dump component. Ask yourself, would you put your child into that
school? That’s the question that people have to understand.”
Measures have already been put in place – three classes of Grade Six,
about 90 students, are now operating at the new Woodlea campus
instead of Maddingley.
“That’s because of the uncertain situation we find ourselves in. The
capital investment that would have gone into having those students in
Moorabool now goes into having them in Melton Shire and that’s just
because of the uncertainty. If it actually goes ahead then it’s going to be
a lot more drastic.”
A submission on behalf of the school has already been made to council
on Maddingley Brown Coal’s permit amendment application process.
“We are very determined to try to find a solution that works for
everyone, we’re not saying that it’s our way or no way, but what we are
saying is we can’t live with a putrescible waste dump basically on our
doorstep.”

Community objects to
plan for waste
By Kate Taylor
Opposition appears to be
growing against a proposal
by Maddingley Brown Coal
to bring rubbish into Moora-
bool and dump it in its exist-
ing tip.
MBC has applied to Moora-
bool Shire Council to amend
its existing permit so that
it can dump putrescible
rubbish such as household
waste at its tip as part of
commercial arrangements.
Already, 424 objections have
been lodged – however that
number is set to grow after
people were encouraged to
send questions and submis-
sions in writing to council, at
a meeting held last week.
About 150 locals gathered
at the public forum where
Mayor Paul Tatchell stressed
that the meeting was about
gathering information on
the permit amendment ap-
plication process and not
about answering specific
questions about the tip.
The amendment has two
parts – to allow the dumping
of putrescible waste and also
to allow the tip to operate
365 days per year to ensure
commercial consistency.

Target 155 still applies

Western Water is reminding customers of
the importance of conserving water despite
recent rainfall.
The future water supply is secure and
sufficient, despite the low reservoir levels,
to meet residents’ needs, but customers are
reminded that permanent water saving rules
and Target 155 still apply.
Graham Holt, General Manager, Customer,
Community Relations and Operations said
while there has been some much-needed
rain recently, the forecast over the coming
months predicts below average rainfall
“It’s important for our customers to continue
monitoring their water usage,” he said.
The Target 155 campaign is a voluntary
water conservation program designed to
encourage residents to restrict their water
usage to 155 litres per person per day.
According to data from the Bureau of
Meteorology, rainfall for the last few months
was “very much below average”.
The low rainfall is reflected in Merrimu
Reservoir, located near Bacchus Marsh,
which is only 26.4 per cent of its full capacity.
Merrimu Reservoir is the traditional water
source for residents in Bacchus Marsh
and Melton, but water can be sourced or
supplemented by the Melbourne water
system when necessary.
Currently, residents in Bacchus Marsh
are receiving water supplied by Merrimu
Reservoir.
Mr Holt said Western Water data shows that
during the past month customers used on
average 220 litres per person per day, 65 litres
more than the voluntary 155 litre target.
“Western Water recommends saving water
by turning off the tap while brushing teeth,
using a pool cover, or using grey water in the
garden,” he said.
For further ways to save water, visit the
Western Water website.

Do we want a fair and caring society? We were told there would be a community meeting in December 2018 providing update for

Yet all we hear are protests and squeals from individuals and groups focused on their own Bacchus Marsh
interests. Be it negative gearing, franking credits, capital gains and so on it just seems to be
about their comfort, their wealth, their wellbeing.
What about the common good? Or has that gone out of fashion, like manners.
We have an economy now, not a society. Our country is fractured into selfish interest groups.
There are too many snouts in the trough and no one wants to make way for another. 
We used to pride ourselves on our egalitarianism but have become a less egalitarian society
than 50-years ago. We didn’t have much then, but it was a much fairer place.
The sad thing is that this country has more than enough for our needs. But not for our greed.

Cobras dine-out on Swans Deja vu about

by Todd Whelan
Bacchus Marsh recorded
their first win of the sea-
son with an old fashioned
106-point thumping over a
struggling Ballarat at Mad-
dingley Park last Saturday.
In a weekend of ‘déjà vu’
for local footy, the Cobras
106-point margin (139-33)
would replicate their Round
6 slaying of the Swans last
year (172-66) . More impor-
tantly, the relief around the
Cobra camp was palpable.
Heading into the game 0-3,
some BFNL pundits were
even tipping the Swans, a
motivation used by coach
Pete Davey who would have
been feeling the pressure of
an 0-4 scenario if his boys
could not deliver.
But deliver they did, in
spades.
The response from the Co-
bras was swift, with the task
made a lot easier on the back
of some excellent ball use - a
feature lacking in their open-
ing three games. At games
end it was more difficult to
work out who wasn’t in the
best players than who was -
a luxury I’m sure coach Pete
Davey could get used too.
“The win is a great relief
and a nice reward for the
boys who are trying their
best to adapt to a new game
plan,” Davey said.
“Our focus heading in was
to be tougher at the contest
and to run out the quarters
and I think we ticked both of
those boxes.”
The Cobras had winners
all over the ground. The
new recruits, veteran club
favourites, the youth and the
recently promoted all played
their roles for the betterment
of the team - it was bordering
on a flashback of the Cobras
dominance in early 2018.
Jacob DeWinter (four goals)
had faced his own level of
scrutiny in the opening
Rounds but broke the shack-
les with a break out game for
his new club. Coach Davey
was rapt.
“DeWinter was great,” Dav-
ey said.
“He strained a groin in the
second quarter against Mel-
ton last week and played
against our physio’s ad-
vice, but you wouldn’t have
known by the way he moved
and jumped - he showed
us all what he is capable of
today.”
BFNL 2018 leading goal-
kicker Aaron Willets (five
goals) looked a lot more
dangerous close to goal, his
time spent away from deep
forward in recent weeks has
been reflective on the Co-
bras below par return on the
scoreboard (58 pt for avg).
“I’m sure Aaron enjoyed go-
ing back to the (goal) square
today,” Davey said.
“People see the goals but
they probably don’t appre-
ciate how much work he
does with his running and
tackling.”
The Cobras midfield artil-
lery continued its recent run
of dominance at centre clear-
ance and welcomed back
veteran Tyson Shea to the
coalface.
“Daniel Burton, Nick Stuhl-
drier and Shea were huge for
us,” Davey said.
“Nick was really able to
show us his class today, it
was the first time this year he
wasn’t given any attention.
“Tyson was terrific, I loved
his game - classic in and un-
der ‘blue collar footy’ and
Burton just keeps going and
going - I thought he was best
afield today.”
Ballarat were conceding in
most areas - games played,
talent and size to name
three, which was enough to
explain the gulf between the
two sides at the final siren.
The Cobras complete per-
formance was rounded out
by a tenacious back six that
took pride in limiting scores
against (4.9) and being ef-
fective in transition off half
back.
“Tom Wardell would be top
three in our B&F at the mo-
ment, he’s thriving in our
defensive system and looks
a 100-game senior player,”
Davey said.
“Timmy Hughes reads the
game well, finds the right
spots and makes the right
decisions with ball in hand.
“We have really rated his
start to the year.”
There were mixed fortunes
on the injury front however,
as Jacob Chisari (fractured
foot) took no part in the
second half. Harrison King
(missed - hamstring) will
be touch and go for a return
against Sunbury on May 25
but is more likley to return
for Darley on June 8, after
the bye. New recruit and
key back Tom Brownbridge
(knee) is expected to play
against Sunbury.
The Cobras Round 5 bill-
ing at Maddingley Park
against Sunbury looms an-
other must win game for
both clubs for many differ-
ent reasons. While the four
points are of the obvious
importance, it will be former
Cobras coach Travis Hodg-
son’s first meeting against
his old club. Hodgson will
be keen to put an end to
Sunbury’s horrendous los-
ing streak away from home
that sits currently at nine.
The thought of this unenvi-
able record ending at Mad-
dingley Park would suit
Hodgson just fine, against
the one club he steered to the
promised land in 2016.
Can’t wait.

Devils defeat
By Todd Whelan
Darley has been handed a
‘wake up’ call in the after-
math of its 30-point loss to
last year’s Grand Finalists
Melton at MacPherson Park
last Saturday.
The difference between the
two sides mirrored their
previous meeting in Round
2 last year when the Bloods
defeated the Devils 86 to 56.
But it was the nature of the
Devils most recent defeat
that has coach Heath Scot-
land concerned.
“We were poor,” he said.
“Our effort was sympto-
matic of the Bacchus Marsh
game where we deviated
from our game plan.
“Players struggled under
pressure to execute and as a
result we were forced to play
reactive footy for the most
part to win the ball back
from turnover.
“We had 30 turnovers by
foot forward of centre and
when you’re kicking like
that, you’re no chance,” Scot-
land said.
But he gave full credit to
Melton.
“Their pressure was good
and they ‘out-hunted’ us for
the footy.
“The scoreboard didn’t tell
the full story,” Scotland said.
“The 30-point margin felt
like a lot more.”
The Devils, who are with-
out a bona fide ruckman
were again found out on
the weekend, this time by
Bloods second string ruck-
inside 50 were entirely on
the back of Melton’s ruck
advantage.
“Our game awareness was
‘off’,” he said.
“Melton were able to get
the ball ‘deep’ forward by
just chipping it around our
blokes that weren’t paying
attention.
“Our blokes just assumed
that Melton were going to
have a shot (on goal).
“It was really disappointing.
“We probably had two win-
ners at best on the day.”
Scotland said, “It was the
most convincing defeat I
have been a part of in my
time as Darley coach.”
On the flipside Melton
coach Aaron Tymms was de-
lighted with the conviction
of the win.
“I was happy with the way
our boys were able to stick to
the game plan,” he said.
“We didn’t just bomb the
ball forward which we have
done in the past.
“We know how well Darley
set up at the back; we were
deliberate in giving our en-
tries minimal airtime to take
away the Devils strength in
defence,” Tymms said.
“It was the best perfor-
mance from the club since
I’ve been coach.”
Darley must go back to the
drawing board and continue
to work on their ‘buy in’ over
the coming fortnight before

against North Ballarat City
