35328 VWE - Market Day A4
Well I would walk 500 miles and then
I’d walk 500 more.
For Leanne Bowden it began as a classic case
of getting roped in.
Leanne moved to Eynesbury more than 2 years
ago and loves getting out to enjoy “the open
spaces, the community feel and the lovely style
of the houses and streets”.
One day around a year ago, the local
resident and businesswoman was visiting the
homestead for a coffee when Leanne Christie,
the Melton Council, Active Communities
Officer, happened to be there too.
Ms. Christie commented that she thought
Leanne Bowden would make an excellent
walking group leader and so began the
“Eynesbury morning walkers” and through fair
and foul weather they’ve never looked back.
“I don’t know if I was in the right place at the
right time or the right place at the wrong time”,
laughs Leanne, “but we’ve stuck to it and had
a lot of fun along the way”.
There are now 10 regular walkers who meet
each morning in the pro shop car park around
10am and for the next 40 minutes they pound
the pavements for fun and fitness and a bit of
a natter before convening the homestead for a
coffee and more chat.
“It’s probably our tongues that get the most
exercise but we don’t take ourselves too
seriously and we do get to lose weight, improve
our fitness and get to know people we might
not otherwise meet”, said Leanne.
The group has now attracted an eclectic mix
with young mums, senior citizens and other
residents just trying to improve their fitness.
The Eynesbury walkers have also been visited
by interested folk from outside the area who
simply want to see the local environment and
the other things the town has to offer.
“When we get visitors we often take them
through the forest and point out some of the
other heritage buildings around the place”,
said Leanne.
Leanne would love to build the group’s
numbers and currently enjoys support from
the National Heart Foundation and the City of
Melton.
Some of the more enthusiastic members have
even stretched their wings and joined the “fit
for life” program which is run by the council in
Melton.

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION NEWS
Since the last edition there has been a constant
flow of people making the smart move to live in
the best little town in the country. The first new
homes in Stage 4 are already being built, with
residents due to be moving in well before the
end of the year.
Congratulations to the Eynesbury Events
Committee for organising the Solstice
Celebration on 21st June. Although it was held
on a chilly winter’s night, the Celebration was
such a great success it will be on again next
year, so put it in your diary now!
In the burned areas of the Native Grasslands,
native grass seeds sown into bare areas over
winter are already germinating. Spring will also
encourage new growth of native grasses, herbs
and ground covers.
In the forest the wattles are blooming and bird
and animal life is becoming more active as

Eynesbury is the ideal climate for growing
Proteas and Leucadendrons. Our new arrivals
of ‘Devils Blush’ (pictured), is a great choice for
a low hedge or border for a garden bed, with
its devilish deep red bracts.
For more varieties come visit us Monday to
Friday 8-3pm or on the First Saturday of every
month 9-3pm.
They do not like too much water, these
plants are drought tolerant. Eynesbury is on
recycled water which is high in phosphorus,
therefore, when using fertiliser ensure it is low
in phosphorus.
When establishing a Protea or Leucadendron,
pruning is a marvellous idea. Prune back to the
new growth for a neat, compact bush. In about
a year the plant will grow with many colourful
bracts all over the bush.
the season changes. Along the Heritage Trail
toward the Shearing Shed Complex, trees,
shrubs and ground covers are beginning to
grow well after transplanting. Spray regimes
are being used to reduce the incidence of pest
weed infestations along the trail, and boxthorn
has been cleared from a number of areas.
In the east section of the forest two new access
tracks have been made, running north from
the farmers access track, connecting with
the old north boundary track, making a full
circuit. These tracks have been made to give
maintenance crews and equipment access to
more of the forest. Already significant amounts
of serrated tussock have been sprayed out.
If you want to take a leisurely stroll to view
some of the more pristine areas of the forest
please allow about one hour for the journey.
Birdlife abounds along these paths, and the
occasional kangaroo can be seen. If you
go walking in these areas, please DO NOT
take dogs with you. Dogs are specifically
banned from the Forest and Grassland by the
Eynesbury Development Plan.
Around town, work crews have been busy
spreading topsoil and sowing the nature strips
in Stage 9, with Stages 7C and 11 still to be
done. Rain gardens and regular garden beds
are also being renovated. Any nature strips
that have not been repaired while homes
were being constructed will be done in spring.
Grasses have had their annual prune and
mulching of garden beds is continuing.
Despite the very dry autumn, the recent rains
means that Eynesbury is ready to burst with
spring growth! We can look forward to the
home gardens becoming showpieces in their
own right, township streetscapes maturing and
looking great, just proving that Eynesbury is a
fantastic place to call home.

Northcote Camp
is great fun.
From Exford Principal Lisa Campo
Our Year 2 kids had their Camp last week and
travelled to Glenmore (about 25 mins away) to
the Lady Northcote Camp, where despite the
wintry weather, the kids had a great time.
As usual, our kids were beautifully behaved and
were all asleep at a respectable hour.
The children took part in Bush Cooking, Low
Ropes courses, Orienteering, were very brave on
the Giant Swing and the Flying Fox and enjoyed
their ‘dining out’ experiences in the Dining Hall.
It’s fun seeing your friends (and your teachers)
in their jammies and sharing cabins with a small
group of friends. Pancakes for breakfast is always
a treat.
French night a
fantastique success.
It was a case of Paris in Eynesbury at the recent
French Dinner & Movie night at the Homestead
restaurant! Canapés, including garlic snails
were served in the elegant billiard room,
followed by paté, beef bourginon and coq au
vin in the restaurant to the strains of Edith Piaf
and accompanied by a French themed quiz.
Cheese platters were served during the movie
“Midnight in Paris”, which was shown in the
Baillieu Room, however, most of the 40 residents
attending were too full to finish them.
The next themed night at the Homestead
restaurant will be a Greek Dinner Dance, held
on Friday 6th September from 6pm. Get your
Zorba on with the Pegasus Dance School, then
enjoy a three course Greek feast, with a little bit
of fun along the way! Bookings are essential on

Western Water’s Water Plan in place for 2013-18
Water bills for an average customer will go up by
less than one dollar a week for homeowners and
around 28 cents a week for tenants this year under
Western Water’s new Water Plan.
Under the Water Plan 2013-18, tiered pricing for
water usage will remain, which means higher water
users pay more for their water.
Price rises are spread out over the five years, rather
than a large upfront increase, in line with feedback
Western Water received from customers during
the Water Plan consultation process.
“We have worked hard to keep price rises as low as
possible, while maintaining our service levels and
planning for our growing population,” Western
Water’s Managing Director, Neil Brennan, says.
Under the Water Plan 2013-18 Western Water will
be continuing its focus on developing sustainable,
liveable communities such as Eynesbury.
Over the next five years in the Eynesbury and
Melton region we will be:
• Using local water supply (from Merrimu
reservoir) for Melton customers, to reduce the
amount of water being purchased from the
Melbourne supply.
• TurningtheEynesburytanks(locatedonGreen
Hill) to full operation to improve water supply
security. During this change, scheduled to occur in
mid-2013, Eynesbury residents may notice a slight
reduction in water pressure.
• Completing an $8.8 million upgrade of the
Melton Recycled Water Plant.
• Completinga$5.3millionupgradeoftheClass
A Recycled Water Plant.
“We understand that some customers are doing it
tough, and will be impacted by any price rise,” Mr
Brennan says.
“We urge anyone who is having trouble paying
their water bill to contact us for a confidential chat
so we can help with a range of support programs.”
Western Water will be in town on Wednesday 4
September at the Eynesbury Homestead Café,
from 10am to 1pm, to answer any questions
customers may have about their bills, our services
or projects in the area.
The new Water Plan 3 came into effect on 1 July
2013.
CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Western Water is coming to town!
We will be in Eynesbury to answer any questions
you may have about bills, services or projects in
your area.
We will also be demonstrating how to conduct a
recycled water connection test on your property.
Drop in to the Eynesbury Homestead Cafe on
Wednesday 4 September, 10am-1pm and have
a cup of tea or coffee on us.

Eynesbury committee candidates 2013
Leigh Francis
With a background in educational
leadership I understand the
value of a supportive community,
which can enhance opportunities
for its children and the provision
of a high quality of life for its
residents.
I have been actively involved in
ensuring that the natural features of Eynesbury; the forest,
gorge, grasslands, fauna and flora are not compromised so
that they can be enjoyed by current and future residents.
Additionally I would advocate for a plan of action to be
implemented to minimize the number of mynah birds
infesting our township.
I support the judicious application of the building guidelines
as they maintain building standards thus sustaining higher
property values. I also believe that energy efficiency and
sustainability should be a key principle in the application
of the guidelines.
I also support the continuation of the organization of
community building events to maximise opportunities
for residents to meet and get to know each other,
strengthening the bonds of community. I look forward to
the opportunity to continue to serve the residents of our
growing community.
Jim Cooper
I am currently a serving member
of the Owners Corporation since
its inception. I currently hold
the position as the convenor

Committee. My wife is currently
an active member of the events
committee and we both have
given many hours of time in the past few years supporting
our community.
My background is that I am a government employed
Emergency Services worker for the past 20 years and
hold the position as the Captain of our local Eynesbury
Fire Brigade. I have a passion for road safety and are
very proactive in liaising with our local Melton Highway
Patrol and Council in providing a safe environment for our
township.
The skills I bring to the position and my principal interests
in assisting the community:
My emergency services experiences as well as a company
director of a successful business that has been operating
for over 17 years with 10 employees and my passion and
commitment to our community.
Jason Saliba
I was born and raised in
Launceston,
Tasmania.
I
moved
to
Melbourne
10
years ago. In the last 10 years
I
have
attended
Victoria
University were I completed an
Advanced Diploma in Tourism
management. I spent a year
in Los Angeles working for Qantas International as guest
services crew. Returned home to gain employment with
Virgin Australia, the airline I currently work for as a guest
service supervisor. Within this time, I have completed a lot
of International and domestic travel, married my now wife
Sarah and have been living in Eynesbury since June 2012,
preparing to extended our family with our first baby due in
October.
I have a passion for sport, fitness, golf and my beloved
Collingwood magpies. I see myself as a very happy
outgoing person, who loves meeting new people and
striving to achieve whatever I put my mind too.
I feel I would be a benefit to the Eynesbury community as I
have a real passion and desire to watch this community grow
to its full potential. I believe that I can bring excitement,
energy and help push growth to the area. I would like to
bring the perspective of a young family to the committee
with the future of my family and the community in mind. I
love living in Eynesbury and feel that it has so much more
to offer. I would like to be a part of the development and
growth and hope one day to tell my son that his dad helped
build Eynesbury.
Nicolle Russell
I’m 39 years old and my family
and I moved in to Eynesbury 1
year ago. Currently I’m the Early
Years Performing Arts Teacher at
Brookside College in Caroline
Springs. I enjoy spending time
with my family and going on
walks around Eynesbury. One of
my greatest hobbies is photography.
The skills I bring to the position and my principal interests
in assisting the community:
I would like to be on the Eynesbury Committee as I love
living in Eynesbury and would like to be an active member
of the community. I was a member of the Melton West
Primary School committee for a short time when my children
attended there during 2011. I think it is important that
events and infrastructure continue to bring the community
of Eynesbury closer together to build a stronger future for
all members of the community and I would like to be a part
of this.
Recently I led a section of our community on the issue of the
local school bus to have it re-instated. I feel that while this
issue was contested by other members of the community
that it was important to be the voice for the people who
it did effect. I am a friendly and approachable person and
feel that I would be a positive member of the Eynesbury
committee.
Joel Clapham
I
am
a
marketing
and
communications
professional
within the not-for-profit financial
services industry.
Over the past fifteen years
I have built a reputation for
representing and advocating
on behalf of university students
and my industry. Good governance and a sound ethical
framework are imperative for all operations to succeed and
achieve their objectives.
The skills I bring to the position and my principal interests
in assisting the community:
At the core of all progress and advancement must be a
commitment to providing genuine services and benefits to
the people we represent.
I am passionate about active citizenship and community
service. I beleve all of us have an obligation and duty
to collectively foster a community in which individuals,
families and children can enjoy the camaraderie that makes
a town home.
The next decade will pass quicker than we expect, and by
then our town will have a large population of teenagers, for
whom we need to create opportunities for employment,
social interaction, safety and welfare, and a spirit of
community. We must start this work now if we are to avoid
the pitfalls of other estates and fail to prepare for the next
generation.
Tomorrow’s social harmony is something we must build
today!
Philip Pike
My wife and I have lived in
Eynesbury for four years and
I am a senior teacher in a local
school. I have served on the OC
committee for four years; the first
two years on the OC committee,
I chaired the environmental and
sustainability
subcommittee
and for the past two years I have chaired the community
development subcommittee.
I developed and collated the survey of residents which
resulted in the establishment of some 20 community
groups. My goal, if re-elected, would be to assist each
group to further develop their activities to include more
residents, involve new residents in these groups and to
promote new community groups.
My approach is to bring a balanced, long term view to
community issues which will benefit all members of the
Eynesbury community.
Robert Nikoloski
I currently work for Metcash as
a Demand Planning Manager. I
have been a loyal employee and
have been part of this amazing
organization for nearly 11 years.
I am a father to an amazing 4
year old boy and a husband to
a beautiful wife. We also have
a small Conveyancing business and employee 2 local
residents. Our office is based in Caroline Springs
The skills I bring to the position and my principal interests

club secretary and a manager of sporting club based in
Geelong. Finance is also something I enjoy, I run our small
business books and have some accounting skills. We fell in
love with Eynesbury hence us moving there shortly. I want
to be part of a team that can achieve some great things for
our small community and especially for our kids. Safety of
our kids is a key priority to our success.
I have also had experience in marketing events and getting
sponsorship for my sporting club (sporting gear and
clothing). In a conclusion regardless of the outcome I will
always give up time to assist in any matters involving our
community.
Garrick Oates
Before moving to Australia I
served on two different body
corporate committees as the
chairperson. The first for 2 years
(until we moved) and the second
for a year.
The skills I bring to the position
and my principal interests in
assisting the community:
I believe in putting the good of the whole community
first and try to help people enjoy their/our community. I
studied a bit of law at university and enjoy learning the
ins and outs of how the OC laws work in Australia - as
opposed to South Africa where they are slightly different
in some areas, vastly different in others, and still the same
in particular fields.
Greg Heafield
I have been a member of the
Owner’s
Corporation
(O/C)
since its inception in 2009. I am
the current chair person of the
O/C and are an active member
of the Community Events,
Community
Development,
Safety sub committees. I am
also convener of the Eynesbury Heritage Group and give
many presentations concerning the history of this historic
property.
My goals are to ensure that each lot owner’s contribution
to the O/C and hence the Community Association (CA)
is spent wisely and of benefit to the O/C and not the
developer. I am endeavoring to fix the undemocratic
process that the CA has in respect to voting rights for
projects and contracts. We currently provide 90% of the
funding but only get 20% of the say in how those funds are
spent. I intend to fix this problem and ensure that O/C
members have their say.
Formerly a Detective Senior Sergeant in the Victoria Police
force for some 35 years, I now work casually for the Melton
council in their Aged Care Divisions. I am married with 3
adult children and 4 grand children and have lived here in
Eynesbury since 2009
The skills I bring to the position and my principal interests
in assisting the community:
I am currently a very active member of the Community
Events and have been behind the inception of the
Children’s Christmas party, the New Years Eve event, the
Winter Solstice and the photography exhibition.

New head pro at Eynesbury golf
Paul Christie, an AA rated golf professional, is
our new head professional – we asked Paul to
introduce himself.
Born in Geelong I was introduced to golf at the
age of 7. I played junior golf at Geelong Golf
Club.
I represented the club in Pennant from the age
of 14. I was a representative in the Geelong
and District team at both junior and senior
level and also was in the coke young achievers
squad.
I won a few junior events including the Geelong
and District Championships and won a few
Club Junior Championships, match play and
fourball events.
I moved to Queensland at the age of 21 to
turn Professional. I spent time at Novotel Twin
Waters Resort as the Trainee Professional where
I learnt a lot about resort golf. In my third year
I was the Trainee Captain of Queensland. I
then moved to Pelican Waters as the Head Golf
Professional and run a golf team of over 20 staff
to open the famous Greg Norman Designed
Pelican Waters.
Through my time I was a part of some fantastic
golf days including the Holden Scramble
National Final, the Jack Newtown Celebrity
Classic and many corporate days for charity’s
and sporting groups. I used to teach many
celebrities including Greg’s Mum Toini, she
loved my bunker lessons.
I played Tournament Golf for a while after
leaving Pelican Waters. I travelled around the
“Troppo Tour” mainly and down throughout
Australia following the events. I played a few
events overseas but my shoulder injury certainly
slowed down my career.
The Eynesbury Golf Professional’s job was
certainly on my radar especially when my
parents live on course and then just 200 yards
away my sister and her family also live on
course.
I am now based back in Geelong with Rebecca
and our two boys Max and Jack.
I certainly look forward to meeting you all as
time goes by and if you need anything to help
your golf please don’t hesitate to call.
Good Golfing

Fred Minehan is one of the foundation members of Eynesbury.
He joined almost 5 years ago when memberships were first released.
Fred loves the challenge of the course and the peacefulness of the
area, in fact he loves it so much he bought a former display home and
moved his family in.
Now his daughter has also bought a block and is building a home at
Eynesbury.

Bridal Expo
Sunday 13th October 2013
Fred is a shift worker so he gets to play the course regularly, normally
2-3 times per week.
Due to his work commitments, Fred is a midweek member and that
suits him just fine.
He has seen Eynesbury develop from its beginnings and now enjoys
the friendships that the club provides.
“Most of all I just really love the area and the quality and challenge the
golf course provides although I have to say the length of the course
really finds me out.
“Once you learn to play the course you can have a lot of enjoyment
out there”, said Fred.

a score. The most common fault I see with
short putting is a short/ stabbing stroke which
normally occurs from a larger back swing and
decelerating on the down swing. The most
important thing to do on a short putt is too
keep a nice smooth rhythm throughout the
stroke and not get too quick. The length
that the putter is brought back should be the
same length that the putter goes through.
This will provide a more consistent stroke and
hopefully prevent those strokes adding up
quickly.
