SEE VOUCHERSBACK PAGE

Putting pool safety first Is your swimming pool or spa safe for children, and compliant with regulations? Now is the time to ensure pools are inspected and maintained by: • ensuring the gate shuts and locks correctly • adjusting and lubricating the gate• inspecting the barrier for corrosion• cleaning up around your safety barrier or pool fence• removing any objects around the safety barrier

(e.g. pot plants, chairs, pool pumps) which could allow a child to climb over the fence

• cutting back any overhanging trees.

Owners of rental properties with swimming pools and spas are responsible to ensure the barrier is maintained.All in-ground and above ground swimming pools and spas containing a depth of water greater than 300mm (30cm)—including children’s inflatable swimming pools — require a building permit for their construction and a safety barrier or pool fence. For more information on pool safety, swimming pools, spas, safety barriers and ongoing maintenance requirements, contact Council’s Building unit on 5421 9681.

Watch around water When visiting your local pool to cool off this summer, remember to ‘Watch around Water’.Council’s aquatic centres and outdoor pools are registered with the ‘Watch Around Water’ program, which means:• Children under 5 years must be supervised by an adult who

is required to be within arm’s reach of them at all times.• Children 5–10 years must be accompanied into the facility

and supervised by an adult at all times while in water.• No child under 10 years will be admitted to a facility unless

they are accompanied by and supervised by an adult.

The Watch around Water program aims to reduce the number of fatal and non-fatal drownings and associated injuries in Victoria, within the 0–14 year age group. It is managed by Lifesaving Victoria, and Aquatics and Recreation Victoria.Visit aquaticsandrecreation.org.au/watcharoundwater

Thank youWe recently received a lovely thank-you

from Sue, a regular user of the Kyneton

Toyota Sports & Aquatic Centre.

“I returned to the pool after the

short closure over the winter

school holidays to notice how

clean and sparkly the pool and

surrounding areas were. I have

been meaning to send you a short

note to extend my thanks to you

and your team as I understand this

is not an easy job! Please pass my

gratitude onto your team. Many

thanks from a happy customer”

Monitoring our native fauna Remote cameras, spotlights and bird surveys are just a few of the methods undertaken over the last 12 months as part of Council’s fauna monitoring program.The program aims to gather data on what species are using bushland reserves across the shire and guide local species conservation and pest management programs.Council has also installed more than 250 nestboxes in partnership with local Landcare groups and men’s sheds to assist with monitoring local species.Some fascinating threatened species discovered in Council reserves include:• Brush-tailed Phascogales• Endangered Brown Toadlets • Greater Gliders• Grey Goshawks, Powerful Owls and Barking Owls

For more information or updates on the program, subscribe to our Environment eNews (see page 15), or visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/fauna-monitoring

Preventing European wasps Summer’s warm weather is a great time to enjoy the outdoors, but the increase of European wasp activity can have many of us running for cover. Regular inspections around your property looking for European wasp activity and signs of wasps building nests can assist in their prevention. Nests are usually found in sheltered areas, are light grey in colour and approximately the size of a football with a 2–5cm opening. They may be located in the ground, under rocks, in rubbish piles, at the base of trees and bushes, or in roofs, walls and under the eaves of houses.You can reduce wasp populations by:• trimming back bushes and over-hanging

branches around buildings and fences• regularly inspecting the perimeter of

any building for signs of a nest• ensuring rubbish and compost bins

have tightly fitted lids.

If you do locate a nest on your property, do not disturb or try to destroy the nest yourself. You should contact a local qualified pest controller who will be able to safely remove it for you.Anyone who finds a nest on public land should report it to Council on 5422 0333.

Page 07

Breathing life into our streetscapes More than 200 new trees have been planted in townships across the shire as part of Council’s annual street tree planting program.The majority of the trees were planted during winter, improving the character and appearance of our neighbourhoods and providing natural shade, shelter and increasing biodiversity.

Vehicles for sale on roadsides Council is urging motorists to think twice before parking and displaying a vehicle for sale on Council roads, nature strips, footpaths and public land. It is an offence under Local Law No.10 to park vehicles for sale on roadsides. It creates hazards for motorists and causes visual distractions, traffic congestion issues and also causes damage to grass, vegetation and tree roots.Owners of these vehicles may receive on-the-spot infringements of $200.For more information about Council’s laws and regulations, visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/laws or contact 5422 0333.

Environment workshops and eventsDuring March, learn about how to manage garden pests without using chemicals and how to identify and control weeds at a series of environment workshops.For more information or to find out about other environment events, visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/environment-events or contact William on 5421 9674.

Summer fire safetyWhat to do in an emergency If an emergency such as a bushfire occurs and you need to leave your home, Council will open an Emergency Relief Centre. This centre is located well away from the affected area and the location will be broadcast on radio, social media and relevant websites. Services available at relief centres• Food and water• Personal support• Temporary accommodation• Information• A place to bring your pets (make sure you bring

a leash or cage, food, water bowls and anything else they may need).

If you are unable to leave your property or choose to stay, you will need to have at least three days’ supply of food, water, fuel and other necessities.As soon as after the event as practical and where necessary, Council will open a Recovery Centre. This centre will be located as close as possible to the affected area.Services that are available at a Recovery Centre include:• Information about emergency grants• Personal support• Information on clean up, health and wellbeing• Housing, insuranceImmediately following an event, Council works with other agencies to assess the impact of the event. You may receive a visit from staff or volunteers who will be checking to see how you are managing after the incident and assessing damage to your property, animals, trees and fencing. Experience shows that those people who have prepared their property and have a bushfire survival plan recover more quickly from an emergency.

Council services on Code Red fire danger days Garbage, recycling and green bins will not be collected on Code Red days. If your collection falls on one of these days, your bins will be collected the following day, or as soon as possible after the Code Red downgrade—even on weekends.In Woodend, Macedon and Mt Macedon all services and facilities will be closed on Code Red Fire danger days. This includes:• Libraries• Neighbourhood houses and community centres• Sporting facilities and recreation reserves• Maternal and child health centres• Immunisation sessions• Kindergartens• School crossings• Woodend Service Centre• Hanging Rock• Transfer stations• Woodend Visitor Information Centre.

Fire planning tips• Pack an emergency kit, including medication. • Tell your family and friends where you will

go if you plan to leave. • Consider vulnerable members of your family,

such as the elderly or those living with a disability. • Plan for the welfare of your pets, horses

and livestock, by considering where you might relocate your horses and register for a property identification code (PIC) to help identify and rehome your animals.

Summer fire safetyBushfire survival planUnderstanding your level of risk is the first step in developing your Bushfire Survival Plan. Research shows that when threatened by a fire, many people living in high risk areas will leave it too late to make critical decisions, leaving them with very few safe options. In high-risk areas, leaving early is your safest option—particularly on Code Red, Extreme and Severe days.

Where will you go?It’s important to identify where you will go on high fire risk days e.g. to family or friends, in Melbourne or elsewhere. Neighbourhood Safer Places—Places of Last Resort should not be your ‘go-to’ place when you decide to enact your fire plan. These places are a ‘last resort’ option when all your plans have failed and the fire is about to impact your home. They are not staffed, may not have electricity or other services, and there is no guarantee that the CFA or other agencies will be able to defend the building if it is threatened by fire.

Have your say Tourism in Macedon Ranges It’s no secret that residents of the Macedon Ranges are spoilt–there’s our pristine natural environment, gourmet food and wine, and a strong sense of community—but what attracts visitors to the region? The Macedon Ranges Tourism Industry Strategic Plan 2011–2016, which is the document that outlines the vision for tourism for the region, is currently under review and community input will be invited early next year. With tourism contributing $292 million annually to the Macedon Ranges Shire economy and accounting for 16.6 per cent of all jobs, tourism is one of the shire’s key industry sectors. For details on the review, contact Shane on 5421 9638 or scaruana@mrsc.vic.gov.au

In the Rural Living Zone Council adopted the final ‘In the Rural Living Zone’ strategy at the September Ordinary Council meeting. The strategy includes recommendations to manage rural living opportunities in the shire to 2045. The strategy was informed by an enthusiastic response from the community to the draft report that was released in late 2014, with over 140 surveys completed and more than 80 submissions received. The strategy’s recommendations include: • providing for a 30-year finite supply of rural living land

across the shire• a reduction in minimum lot sizes for nominated land in

existing Rural Living Zones around Gisborne, Gisborne South and Riddells Creek and a small area in Romsey, north of Ochiltrees Road

• introducing Development Plan overlays that will coordinate development in line with existing features and characteristics, and provide for an integrated pedestrian, cycle and vehicle network.

• rezoning of land from the Farming Zone to the Rural Living Zone south of Kyneton, and north of Lauriston Reservoir Road.

To view a copy of the strategy or for more information, visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/rural-living or contact our Strategic Planning unit on 5421 9660.

Can you build over an easement? An easement is a section of land that gives Council or another service authority access to this land. An easement may have a stormwater or sewerage drain along it, be a carriageway, or have power lines over it. It may be anywhere on your property, such as in your front or back yard, along the side of your house or along a fence.

To ensure access to easements is available at all times, they must be free of all obstructions, including permanent or temporary structures, trees, plants or landscaping of any kind unless a Build Over Easement permit has been granted.

For more information or to apply for a permit, phone Council on 5422 0333 or visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/easements

East Paddock picnic shelters At the September Ordinary Council Meeting, Council formally adopted the concept plans for two new picnic shelters in the East Paddock. The concept plans were developed by design consultants with input from the Hanging Rock Development Advisory Committee and the wider community, and are part of a long term vision to reduce usage pressure on areas closer to Hanging Rock and encourage picnicking and events in the East Paddock. The project will now proceed to detailed design, tender and construction, which is expected to commence in early 2016.
