This Week’s Sponsor Val Horsley, Skipton Thank you very much .
SKIPTON PRE SCHOOL
MOTHER’S DAY
LUNCHEON
On Thursday the 10th May, the Skipton Pre School hosted their Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon, held at the Skipton Golf Club.
Over 60 women attended from near and far, enjoying a two course meal, champagne and plenty of entertainment.
The guest speaker was Dr Zainab Sabri from Ballarat who is a Gynaecologist, Obstetrician, Mother and Wife. Dr Zainab was a wonderful speaker sharing many stories about her motherhood, years of studying to become a Doctor, family life and, trying to find the balance.
Dr Zainab also shared her experiences of growing up in Iraq and the hurdles she had to overcome in order to practice medicine in Australia, she generously spent time answering all of the many questions raised by the ladies.
Local, Liz Phillips ran our auction with great success, with all items sold above their donated value. Thank you Liz and also thank you to your special assistant for modelling the items!!
Our Fundraising goal for the 2018 Mother’s Day Luncheon was $5000. We raised $5,154.54. Well done everyone!
We can’t thank our sponsors enough for all of their generosity. These events cannot happen without their assistance. Please accept our gratitude for your wonderful ongoing support.
Thank you to the Skipton Golf Club Committee. Each year you provide us with the perfect venue and assistance on the day. Special mention to Barb & Graham Pett, Glenis Keilar and Frank Ellingham, who worked tirelessly throughout the day to make sure the event went smoothly.
To the all the Skipton Pre School parents who donated food and their time, you were all amazing. Lunch was exceptional (as usual).
I would like to thank the following mothers for their support both on the day of the Luncheon
and the planning for the event, leading up to the day: Thanks to Gemma Molloy for organising the food and
running the kitchen; Hayley Cowan for managing the tickets and assisting on
the day; Helen Purvis for taking care of the social media and the
stunning logo this year; Liz Barr for decorating the entire venue; Emily Dalton for sorting out the advertising; and Jane Draffin for taking on the Master of Ceremonies at the
last minute.
Thank you also to ALL on the other Kinder parents for your help and support throughout the event. This event would not be possible without all of the parents support.
Lastly, thank you to all of special guests: our wonderful Mums, Grans, Nannas and many who travelled out to share the day in Skipton, that braved the cold weather to attend our Mother’s Day Luncheon.
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces that keep coming back each year to celebrate with us. It’s such a fabulous event to bring people together to celebrate Mothers, Community and Supporting our future—Our Children!!
Thank you all, Emma Smith Three Year Old Parent

New Manager Growth and
Engagement A familiar face is taking on Corangamite Shire’s economic
development and tourism portfolio.
Manager Community Relations Rory Neeson’s title has changed to
Manager Growth and Engagement, with the new role responsible
for economic development, events and tourism on top of customer
service, communications, arts and culture and community
development.
He will lead more than 15 staff and report to Director Sustainable
Development Ian Gibb.
Mr Neeson joined Corangamite Shire in 2013 as Communications
Coordinator, quickly working his way up to Manager Community
Relations in 2014.
He has spent five years running events such as Australia Day and
the Robert Burns Scottish Festival, delivering public arts projects
at Cobden, Noorat and Terang, community projects and grants
programs that improve the appearance of shopfronts in town
centres.
He said he was looking forward to taking on economic
development and tourism projects. “There is a lot of crossover
with arts and culture, events, tourism and economic development,”
he said. “Managing these areas as one department makes a lot of
sense and I look forward to building on the good work already
being done around economic development and tourism by the
Council.”
Chief Executive Andrew Mason said Mr Neeson had the right
experience and a proven track record at Corangamite Shire.
“Rory has successfully delivered a great number of community
projects during his time at Corangamite,” Mr Mason said. “He
works well with the community, enjoys a challenge, can juggle
multiple projects and leads a strong team.”
“I think he will thrive in the ever-changing economic development
and tourism environment,” he added.

COMMUNITY ENCOURAGED TO HAVE THEIR SAY IN
NEW ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY Golden Plains Shire residents are encouraged to contribute to Golden Plains Shire Council’s Environment
Strategy (2019-2027), to ensure community aspirations are reflected in Council’s vision, plans and actions for
the local environment.
The Environment Strategy 2019-2027 (‘the Strategy’) will encompass both the ‘built’ aspects of Golden Plains Shire,
including water, amenity, emissions and economic land-use, as well as the ‘natural’ parts of the environment, such as
biodiversity, fire management, pest plants and animals, and sustainable agriculture.
The aim of the Strategy is to create a framework to help Council and the community to best manage the various envi-
ronments of Golden Plains Shire, and guide projects and decision-making.
Councillor Helena Kirby, Mayor of Golden Plains Shire, said the Strategy will strive to find balance between meet-
ing the needs of our communities, with Council’s responsibility to preserve and protect its natural environments.
“Golden Plains Shire is lucky to have such a wide range of wonderful spaces and environments, as well as passionate
and committed residents, businesses and community groups, who care deeply about their environment and its future.
“Managing natural and built environments is one of the four strategic objections in our Council Plan; a document that
was developed in close conjunction with the community, and this Strategy, and the community engagement around
it, will all support that objective.
“We would love to hear from the community about what is important to them and what their ideas and concerns are,
in relation to the diverse environments of Golden Plains Shire. Community feedback will provide us with insight into
what matters to our communities and allow the Strategy to benefit from the extensive local knowledge of our resi-
dents.
“Council will offer a number of opportunities for community members to contribute to the Strategy, including work-
shops and conversation posts across the Shire, and an online survey.
“Feedback will be collated and then feed into the development of the draft Environment Strategy 2019-2027, which
will be placed on public exhibition, so that community members can review the document and provide feedback
should they wish to do so.
“I encourage residents to take up one of the many opportunities to contribute to the Strategy – the more community
members who participate in its development, the more refined, thorough and reflective of community needs and val-
ues the Strategy will be.
“This Strategy is incredibly important to Council, as our natural and built environments are part of what makes our
Shire so special. We have established an Environment Strategy Steering Committee, including Golden Plains Shire
Councillors Evans and Rowe. This group will help make sure the Strategy is comprehensive, well-communicated,
reflective of community values and Council’s environmental goals,” she said.

RLX expands portfolio Regional Livestock Exchanges (RLX) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a long-term lease of the Camperdown Saleyards following a public ex-pression of interest process run by the Corangamite Shire Council.
The lease of the saleyard facility represents an inte-gral step in the expansion of the RLX network into Southern and Western Victoria which currently en-compasses a portfolio of facilities stretching from Rockhampton Qld to Ballarat VIC.
The RLX portfolio of modern livestock selling facilities has a current annual turnover exceeding $1bn with its latest upgrade being the Central Victorian Livestock Exchange (CVLX) at Ballarat, which will open mid-year.
From the 24 May, the Camperdown saleyards will operate under new management and be renamed the Corangamite Regional Livestock Exchange (CRLX). The first sale under new management will take place on Tuesday 29 May.
It is expected that the CRLX facility will undergo a range of improvements in the coming years. These improvements will include transitioning the site to be a soft floor facility, improving onsite water usage and enhancing operational efficiencies.
Dan Muller, Business Transition Manager for the RLX portfolio said, “Our main focus is to maintain and en-hance regular sales at CRLX with a focus on expand-ing the range of services available at the facility”.
“Due to the nature and regional locations of the RLX facilities, our operations have a significant impact upon the communities, in which we operate. RLX is looking forward to engaging with and supporting the region where possible”, Mr Muller said.
Corangamite Shire Councillor and Chair of the Saleyards Advisory Committee Simon Illingworth said the long-term lease was “a vote of confidence” in the Camperdown Saleyards.
“Regional Livestock Exchanges has a proven track
record of investing in and improving regional saleyards across Australia,” he said.
“This long-term deal means stability and security for our farmers and stock agents, who will be able to get on with the job and continue to make it a great place to do business.
“I want to thank the stock agents and farmers for their patience while this deal was being signed,” he said.
Corangamite Shire Mayor Jo Beard said Council had always been committed to getting the best outcome for the future of the facility.
“The saleyards has enormous potential and it contin-ues to record strong sales in a competitive environ-ment.
“I want to thank everyone who has been involved in this process for their understanding and I encourage farmers, stock agents and members of the commu-nity to maintain their commitment to the local saleyards and the new operators,” Cr Beard added.
