Melton City 2036: a new vision for our community
Melton City Council is encouraging
anyone who lives, works or studies
in our municipality to share their
views and aspirations for our City
by becoming involved in the
Melton City 2036 community
vision project.
These ideas will then be used to
develop a new 20 year community
vision, and guide the planning and
delivery
of
programs,
infrastructure, and services that
will meet community needs well
into the future.
• February – March 2017:
Public comments on draft
community vision
From now until 18 September,
Council will engage with the
community at a number of events,
conduct a short survey and run an
online forum where members of
the community can provide
responses to four key questions:
what they love about the City of
Melton; what they don’t like; what
their hopes are for the City in 20
years time, and what can be done
to make these hopes a reality.
City of Melton Mayor, Cr Kathy
Majdlik said Council was looking
for a broad cross section of our
community to provide input into the
development of the vision; from
business owners to local groups,
residents and visitors.
Council
will
offer
many
opportunities for residents to share
their ideas and priorities, both
online and at face-to-face events.
To join the online forum, visit
www.oursay.org/cityofmelton

the
survey,

friends are made & where
your faith in God can grow!

“The City of Melton is Victoria’s
fifth fastest growing municipality,
and our population continues to
grow by 42 babies each week,” the
Mayor said.
“Now, more than ever, it is
essential that Council plans for
future growth, and we encourage
everyone to share their views on
how they see our City in the
future.”

TRAVEL GRANTS TO HELP
EMERGING ATHLETES
IN KOROROIT
PROTECT ROLLER SHUTTERS
-
The Andrews Labor Government is
helping athletes in Kororoit become
sporting champions, by assisting
with the costs of travel.
Member for Kororoit, Marlene
Kairouz, today announced the
opening of the latest round of the
Athlete Pathway Travel Grants
Program, which helps athletes
compete and participate without the
burden of travel costs.
Some of Victoria’s most celebrated
sports stars come from regional
Victoria, where travel to and from
competitions or training camps can
be difficult. Stars like Peter Siddle
and Sharelle McMahon have made
it to the top of their game, but it took
many hours of long commutes to get
there.
We know getting to and from state
and national competitions can be a
challenge for emerging athletes.
That’s why we are offering State
Sporting Associations grants of up to
$6000 for teams or $2000 for
individual athletes for travel to
compete at national events or
training camps.

officials and teams with travel
coasts.
In its first year, the Athlete Pathway
Travel Grants Program has provided
256 successful applicants from more
than 60 different sports across the
state a share in $533,000 funding.
Victoria is the sporting state, and we
want it to stay that way. The Athlete
Pathway Travel Grants Program is
just one of our initiatives that keeps
kids happy and healthy, communities
connected and Victorians active.

In assessing social skills, it is important to bear in
mind the milestones of normal social development
according to the child's age.
Social success is critical for broader success, and
resiliency research shows that children who are
popular, likeable and able to resolve conflicts with
others are also more likely to succeed at school,
and are generally more resilient than children with
less developed social skills.
Social skills are complex and multi-faceted. They
are also closely linked to development. The social
skills which serve a five year-old child will clearly
not be adequate for negotiating the more complex
social world of a twelve year old.
Page 16
The building blocks of social competence
Basic interaction skills (e.g., smiling, making eye
contact, listening), entry/approach skills (how to
approach an individual socially or join a group),
maintenance skills (e.g., how to share, take turns,
follow rules, co-operate etc.), friendship skills (e.g.,
how to show appropriate affection, involve others in
decision making, be inclusive, etc), conflict
resolution (how to manage disagreements in a
socially
acceptable
manner),
empathy,
communication of needs and ideas, sense of
humour, assertiveness (how to say no to engaging in
dangerous or antisocial behaviour, stand up for
oneself, etc.).
If you think your child would benefit from social skill
development, please contact Western Plains
Psychology on 8372 5723.

GETTING IT DONE: FIXING
CONGESTION ON THE M80
Congestion will be slashed for
160,000 motorists using the M80
Ring Road every day, with
contracts signed and construction
to start within weeks.
The Commonwealth and Victorian
Governments today announced
Fulton Hogan as the successful
tenderer for the M80 Ring Road
Upgrade from Sunshine Avenue to
the Calder Freeway.

The upgrade will see 3.2
kilometres of the M80 Ring Road
widened from two lanes to four
lanes in each direction from
Sunshine Avenue to the EJ
Whitten Bridge and from two lanes
to five lanes through to the Calder
Freeway.
Two major bottlenecks will be
removed at Sunshine Avenue and
Keilor Park Drive, where traffic
merges from four lanes to two at
Sunshine Avenue, and then again
shortly after at Keilor Park Drive.
Once complete, there will be no
lane restrictions from the Western
Highway to Sunshine Avenue,
cutting travel times by 15 minutes.
In addition, ramp signalling and
overhead Lane Use Management
Systems will help to ensure a
smoother and more efficient
journey for motorists.

The EJ Whitten Bridge will also
have public safety barriers installed
to transform the bridge for cyclists
and pedestrians - providing a safer
and more enjoyable experience for
local families and commuters.
Work on the upgrade will start
within weeks and be completed by
late 2018.

The Hon. Natalie Hutchins MP was also present as a guest
and spoke briefly to all present about the importance
indigenous culture and sharing of story from generaon
to generaon.
Throughout the week teachers and student became
bookworms and delved deeply into a variety of literature,
including that of indigenous as well as classical and
contemporary and faith-based authors. Classes also
swapped teachers for an aernoon to enjoy the books
other classes had been reading.
During the week, Foundaon to Year 3 classes enjoyed a
music, mime and drama performance, ‘Wake up and
Read’, which focused on promong the magical world of
books and the knowledge and enjoyment they contain.
While the Book Character Costume parade was our
culminang acvity, we also thoroughly enjoyed the way in
which the week kicked off on Monday morning during our
chapel me. Our College chaplain Pr Sammi related ‘Why
Australia is important to me’, helping us to understand that
in our mulcultural College we all have a story to tell. She
recited very expressively the story of Mulga Bill’s excing
bike ride, and we viewed a clip of The Man from Snowy
River’s hair raising ride. (Both Australian poems by A Bango
Paterson). But most of all we
loved how Pr Sammi ed this
all together by relang ’story'
to who we all are in the
context of the Bible narrave.
Thank you to all of our
teachers, students, parents
and the wider community for
making 2016 Book Week
another resounding, memory
making success. We look
forward to connuing the fun
next year.

WELLNESS OPEN DAY
You're invited to a complimentary holistic experience
for the whole family!
R U OK?
Day Melton City Council is encouraging residents to
take part in R U OK? Day on Thursday 8 September.
R U OK? is a not-for-profit suicide prevention
organisation that works with governments, corporate
leaders, universities, teachers, students and
community groups to raise awareness of mental
illness.
Each September, the organisation encourages
people across Australia to ask friends, family and
colleagues the key question, “are you okay?” in the
hope of engaging in conversations that may
otherwise be difficult to initiate.
Mayor of the City of Melton, Cr Kathy Majdlik said the
day was a timely reminder for members of local
communities to look after each other. “We know that
people experiencing tough times don’t always
respond to offers of help, so R U OK? Day is a
wonderful initiative that encourages residents to
extend that offer of help to others,” the Mayor said.
“It’s also a great reminder that staying connected with
others is vital to our general health and wellbeing,
and that regular, meaningful conversations can
protect those we know and love.” In a 12-month
period, it is estimated that 65,000 Australians make
a suicide attempt, with an average of 2,320 people
suiciding every year. Around 45 per cent of
Australians will experience mental illness in their
lifetime, while 20 per cent are affected every year. T
o support R U OK? Day, Melton City Council will be
holding a special screening of Pixar’s smash hit
movie, Inside Out, at the Caroline Springs Library on
Thursday 29 September at 1pm. Kids and adults are
welcome to come along, enjoy the film, and
participate in other wellness activities.

Primary school friendship groups
Chemistry Sets
Children choose friends who have similar
interests and enjoy similar activities. During
primary school close friendships are most often
with a child of the same sex.
Chemistry Sets is a square dance club which has been
operating for 14 year from 50 Station Rd, Deer Park on
a weekly basis on a Saturday night commencing at
8pm.
This is related to children’s preferences in play.
Boys tend to prefer active kinds of play in groups,
whereas girls typically prefer gentler games in
pairs or threes and use talk more than action.
Such preferences may be especially strong
around the ages of eight and nine when many
children become more aware of social
expectations regarding girls’ and boys’ behaviour.
These expectations can create difficulties for boys
who are interested in gentler kinds of play and for
girls who prefer the kind of active play that is
usually associated with boys.
Friends cooperate and communicate more with
each other than with other children. They also
have conflicts more often, but usually manage to
settle them without upsetting the friendship.
Friends influence each other’s behaviour. Over
time they may take on similar mannerisms,
language and preferences. Although friendships
usually have positive effects, friends who have
behavioural problems may encourage problem
behaviour in one another.
As children’s interests and developmental needs
change, their friendship patterns may also
change. By the middle of primary school it is
common for children to form small friendship
groups based around similar interests. These
groups often establish their own rules about who
can join them.
Setting rules and learning to negotiate them is
important for helping children to develop their
understanding of social relationships.
Square dancing is a friendly and social way to meet
new friends and is very good exercise. It is fun for all
ages as well and is danced to a variety of music called
by Ralph Weise. The club was aptly named as it is
situated next to Orica (formerly ICI).
We welcome new dancers if anyone out there is
interested in trying this wonderful activity. The cost is
$8.00 per person and $20.00 per family, tea and coffee
is provided and all we ask is a plate of food to share for
supper.

The Kororoit services are set to receive $12,612 in funding, as part of the
2016-17 Children’s Facilities Capital Program. These grants mean Victoria’s

have access to high-quality early learning services.
The grants of up to $25,000 will help kinders and childcare centres enlarge
their classrooms help accommodate the improved educator-to-child ratios,
introduced earlier this year. Creekside Childrens and Community Centre is
set to receive a grant of up to $10,000, for playground upgrades and
refurbishments. They can be used to improve access for children of all
abilities.
Grants of up to $1,500 will help Brookside Pre School and Deer Park West
Kindergarten to upgrade their IT equipment, with new laptops, tablets and
other digital hardware to support learning programs and administration.
The grants are part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $60 million

SETTING UP KOROROIT KIDS
TO BECOME MATHS MASTERS
Families in Kororoit are set to benefit from the roll
out of a program to boost the maths skills of young
children.
Educators at Kings Park kindergarten will
participate in a specialist Let’s Count program.
The program, developed by The Smith Family, has
been proven to improve numeracy in children aged
three to five.
The evidence-based program will enable educators
to better engage children in activities such as
counting, measuring, identifying patterns and
increasing spatial awareness, helping to develop
their skills and creating a positive attitude towards
maths before they begin primary school.
The program will also include ways to support
parents and carers in finding ways to bring maths
into their everyday lives, such as through cooking,
shopping and other fun, simple activities.
The knowledge and skills that children develop in
the early years are crucial to their later progress –
and this is especially the case for mathematics.
In 2015, a longitudinal study commissioned by The
Smith Family showed the Let’s Count program
dramatically improved children’s maths skills, with
children who participated in the program performing
better across a range of mathematical tasks than
children not involved in the program.
The 121 educators across the state are the first
cohort to participate in the program. An additional
379 educators in funded kindergartens across
almost 30 areas will go on to participate in the next
three years. Priority will be given to kindergartens in
areas where children and families will benefit most.
More than 14,000 pre-schoolers (aged three to five
years old) and 5,500 families will benefit from the
program.
The next round taking expressions of interest in the
program opens in Term 4.

GREENER GOVERNMENT
BUILDINGS FOR KOROROIT
Local member for Kororoit, Marlene Kairouz has
welcomed the Andrews Labor Government’s
announcement to reinstate the award winning
Greener Government Buildings Program (GGB)
which was scrapped by the former Coalition
Government in 2013.
The program will reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 25,000 tonnes each year and save
up to $100 million in the longer term by slashing
the energy use of government buildings and
infrastructure across the state.
Funded through the recently issued Victorian
Green Bonds, the Labor Government will reboot
the program with a $33 million investment in the
next two years. This will include:
Installing new lighting technologies and
upgrading heating and cooling systems at
Gordon TAFE in Geelong, and Peninsula Health
facilities, including the Frankston Hospital
Replacing all of Victoria’s freeway lighting with
efficient and long lasting LED technology
Installing solar power and highly-efficient LED
lighting in hundreds of Victorian schools and
regional healthcare facilities.
This not only brings environmental benefits, but
it strengthens the State’s finances, saving about
$6 million a year over 15 years in addition to
avoided capital investment costs. Money saved
on energy bills will repay the initial investment in
just five years and will continue to save energy
for years to come.
Following on from the Labor Government’s
recently announced TAKE2 Pledge Program,
these investments are estimated to result in the
abatement of 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse
gases every year. That’s equivalent to 5500 cars
or 3600 households.
The GGB program further supports the growth
of clean energy and technology industries,
creating jobs and strengthening Victoria’s

GRANTS TO HELP KOROROIT GET HEALTHY AND ACTIVE
Sporting clubs in Kororoit looking to open more doors
for women and girls to play the sports they love are
being urged to apply for a VicHealth funding grant.
Member for Kororoit, Marlene Kairouz, announced
applications for VicHealth’s Active Club Grants
program are open to community sports clubs in
Kororoit.
The VicHealth grants program aims to boost access
to grassroots sport so even more people can enjoy the
benefits of a healthier and happier lifestyle.
In 2016/17, two levels of grants - up to $3000 or up to
$10,000 - are available for clubs establishing new
activities, competitions and programs that encourage
more women and girls to get involved in physical
activity, or which are starting up a social or modified
sport program.
Modified sports are fun and less-structured, increasing
opportunities for people of all ages, abilities, skills and
fitness levels. The grants will also provide more
opportunities for the development of women’s sports
teams.
The Andrews Labor Government is working hard to
grow women’s participation in sport, so female
athletes have access to equal opportunities to get
involved in sport and excel, both at the grassroots
and elite levels.
This includes $1 million to begin implementing
recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into
the Participation of Women and Girls in Sport and
Active Recreation.
Victorian sports clubs are the lifeblood of our towns,
and they deserve modern, safe facilities. The
government promised them and is now getting on
with delivering them through the Community Sports
Infrastructure Fund.
The fund includes $10 million for Female Friendly
Facilities to build or upgrade women’s change rooms,
meaning female players will never again have to use
make-shift areas to prepare for competition and
training.

Snap Send Solve determines a
users council using your phone's
GPS location and returns relevant
council details, including contact
information, street address, and an
email address.
Snap Send Solve allows citizens
anywhere in Australia to easily
capture and report on common
issues including Litter, Hard waste,
Parking, Street Cleaning, Trees,
Noise, and also provide a general
request or general feedback. Thanks
to the high technology in the iPhone,
reports submitted by citizens
automatically contain exact GPS
coordinates of the issues and
optionally, a photographic record.
Already in use by nearly 30,000
Australians, Snap Send Solve has
drawn critical praise from users and
currently has a 5 star rating on
iTunes. One user commented, ‘I
used the app recently when I was
walking along my street - I took a
photo of a pile of rubbish that had
been in front of the local pre-school
for over a week and sent it instantly.
Within 24 hours the rubbish had
been removed.’
The app is being recommended by
many councils around Australia.
Gideon Kowadlo, a director of
Outware Mobile, the Melbourne
based developers behind Snap
Send Solve said 'the app uses an
advanced mapping system to match
a location to a council so the citizen
doesn't need to know anything
about their position to report a
problem to the right council.

Pokemon Go: Play it safe, Play it legal
The new Pokemon GO, location based virtual
game has taken the world by storm. Pokemon
monsters roam the land and your objective is to
catch them.
• Remember that this game is GPS based and
keeps track of your movements, it knows where
you are all of the time. The concern here is the
possibility of hackers getting this information too.
The game forces players out of their homes and
into the outdoors. It’s fun and is helping to keep
people active but police warn that there are some
dangers associated with playing the game that
users need to keep in mind.
• Watch that excess data usage, it could come
back to haunt you.
• Above all, have fun but play it safe and play it
legal
Below are some user tips to be considered.
• Let someone know where you’re going and
what time you expect to be back.
• Lift your eyes from your phone regularly, be
aware of your surroundings and watch where
you’re going.
There have been reports of people walking into
oncoming traffic overseas, not to mention the
pain that can be inflicted by a tree or pole.
• If the game leads you to a place you wouldn’t
normally go, then don’t go there now. Locations
are often suggested by game users so there is
the possibility gamers could be lured into unsafe
situations.
•
Do not enter private property without
permission, catching Pokemon monsters is not a
defence to trespass. Be sure you have
permission to enter your Pokestop.
• Don’t use your phone whilst driving, it’s illegal
• Don’t ride skateboards and bikes whilst
interacting with the app

Caroline Springs Police Station
Community Update
Hello Readers,
Welcome to all our new and regular readers of the Caroline
Springs Community Update.
Last month I was able to provide a response from Senior
Sergeant Trevor KING in relation to a series of home invasions
that had rocked our community. During the month of August a
gathering took place at the Caroline Springs Police Station that
was attended by local police, senior officers, a representative
from the Police Association, members of parliament and many
concerned residents.
From this event I can report that there will be more Police on
their way to the Melton and Caroline Springs area. We are
expected to start seeing these numbers increased and changes
by the end of the year. Exact numbers have not been released
at this stage but the area has been marked as a priority. This is
great news and I am sure a comfort to many.
The additional Police patrols that have been seen in the area
over the last 6 weeks will continue into the future. The additional
patrols have provided quicker response times and made a
significant impact on overnight crime. We continue to ask the
wider community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious
behaviour or vehicles by calling 000.
What we do stress that the community does not take matters into
their own hands as the risk of injury or danger to those involved
is too great. There is also a risk that actions by members of the
public may complicate investigations and cause difficulties when
the matters come to court.
The taskforce centred around these incidents continues to make
some pivotal arrests and in the coming months these cases will
start to proceed into the judicial system.
Last month also saw the launch of the Melton/Caroline Springs
Eyewatch page. This is a Victoria Police Facebook page for the
local Melton Police Service Area. We ask everyone to “like” this
page. This page contains information about local police issues,
community updates and events and good news stories.
On these days one way security screws can be fitted to number
plates free of charge. If you find you can’t wait for one of these
days the security screws are available for purchase at all
leading hardware stores. For full details of these days and the
dates please keep a look out on our Eyewatch page.
A reminder to all readers that if anybody needs to report an
incident which requires Police attendance, please dial “000”.
Contacting the station directly or sending an e-mail is not
appropriate in this case. Phone/e-mail messages should NOT
be left for the reporting of crime.
Finally the month of September sees many children on school
holidays. For lots of parents and caregivers this is a time where
we are at a loss for activities to fill in the days. I recommend
parents take a look at the City of Melton website and visit the
Youth Services page. Some great ideas, suggestions and
resources are available. www.melton.vic.gov.au
Opening hours for Caroline Springs Police Station are:
Monday to Friday 9:00am – 9:00pm and 9.00am – 5.00pm
on the weekend.
Please be aware that regardless of the station operating
hours Caroline Springs do provide a 24hr police response.
Should you need to attend a police station please consider any
of the 24 hour stations in the area, Melton, Keilor Downs or
Sunshine.
Before I go I am happy to hear from anyone in the community
about a safety or policing issue they have experienced. If there
is an issue you would like to discuss with me or explain in future
updates please email my office at [email protected]. A further way to keep updated with
current events in our community is to visit the Victoria Police
Facebook page, www.facebook.com/victoriapolice
Remember to take care of each other and don’t forget that
community safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Thanks for reading.
We also continue to see a steady rate of number plate thefts.
Vehicles that are parked in private driveways, shopping centres
or railway station car parks are all at risk to this crime. In the
coming weeks and into October which is Community Safety
Month a number of Safe Pl8 days will be held at a variety of
locations.

Helpful thoughts from INChurch Melbourne
Supporting Local Families
Our aim & focus as a local church is to support local everyone,
but especially families. Being the parents of six children
ourselves we realise the importance that healthy a marriage &
family life is for children & teens.
At INChurch Melbourne we regularly run The Marriage Course.
Over eight evenings spent together couples talk about important
issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily
life. Each evening begins at 7pm for 7:30pm with a candlelit light
meal. There is then a talk followed by an opportunity to discuss
the topic together as a couple. The setting is welcoming, relaxed
and unthreatening. The evenings finish at 9.30pm.
Topics covered include: recognising each others needs, learning
to communicate effectively, resolving conflict, healing past hurt,
knowing how to make each other feel loved, the impact of family
past & present, good sex, learning each others love language,
making time for each other and having fun together.
Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group
discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your
relationship to anyone else.
