HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The committee of the Steels Creek Community Centre send our best wishes for 2023 to all our valley residents and we look forward to seeing you at one of the many activities held at the Community Centre.
SCCC: The refurbishment of the car park has progressed very well and is almost finished. We are anticipating some lines will be marked for car parking but not sure when this will happen. Hopefully all will be well for the first Exchange Hub on Saturday 14th January.
SC Social & Tennis Club: Social tennis is about to start up again.
Ladies social on Monday mornings starts on the 9th January @ 8:30am and Thursday night social play on 12th January @ 7:30pm.
If you are in Bunnings Chirnside on Saturday, come along to the sausage sizzle to support the Social & Tennis Club. Funds raised go towards maintaining and developing the facilities of our little rural club.
Yarra Glen Tennis Club: For those junior players who would like some competition experience, please see the flyer for an Inter-club tournament this weekend. Entries close tomorrow so there is still time to sign up.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR SPONSORS

Steels Creek Grapevine – 20th December 2022

SCCC: Some of you will have notice the works going on at the community centre. The Yarra Ranges Council are in the process of resurfacing the driveway and carpark area. We are unsure of when these works will be completed so at this stage access to the community centre will be restricted. This is generally a quiet time on the community calendar so the impact on our groups who use the centre will be limited. Rest assured we will let you know when it is back to business as usual and hopefully that will be in time for the first Exchange Hub for 2023.
SC Landcare
Many thanks to all those residents who attended the AGM held back in November, enjoying the informative presentation and partaking of the delicious meal after the serious business was attended to. Your landcare committee for the coming year is Andrew Guthrie (President), Peta Whitford (Vice President), Bruce Kellet (Secretary), Marcia Brosche (Treasurer), Genevieve Savani and Julie Cureton (committee members).
Social & Tennis Club: Christmas wind-up
It was great to see a crowd come along to the Christmas wind up on Sunday, where our long standing committee member Ed Bartosh was extolling the virtues of ‘Pickleball’. A few of us gave it a go but the jury may be out if it will take off in steels Creek!! Plenty of chatter, laughs and hearty carol singing to see out 2022. Looking forward to seeing you at the first Friday social for 2023. Details will come at a later date.
The Steels Creek Community Centre Committee wish all our valley residents a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year.
There will be no issue of the Grapevine next week (27th December)

I think we can proclaim “Womtober” Open Day an absolute success! The weather held and the community came out in support of our inaugural open day. It was fabulous to see many of our residents at the community centre on Sunday, catching up with neighbours, meeting newbies to Steels Creek, learning about the centre or merely reacquainting themselves with what we have on offer in Steels Creek. The SCCC would like to thank all our groups for being involved in some way or another. Your contribution in supporting this initiative was greatly appreciated and helped to cement a strong community spirit. A big thank you as well to Maree Rothwell who was the driving force behind the day, with her vision and enthusiasm for the Steels Creek Community. We would also like to thank Mange Management for coming along to help and advise on caring for sick wombats.
Social & Tennis Club: Thursday night social tennis 27th October
We will back at the court on Thursday night from 7:30pm for a social hit, assuming of course, the weather is fine. If you would like to know more about how Thursday night social play works, please call Kerry Guthrie on 0409 505 681. Cost is $2 (towards light expense)
Social & Tennis Club: Friday night social Friday 4th November from 6pm

Yarra Valley Trail Project Update – the following information has been taken from an email, from the council. For further information please refer to the council website or attend the information session (details below)
There are two possible trail routes being proposed for the Yarra Valley Trail (Northern Loop). Both trail options have different environmental, social and economic benefits and impacts. Details of each route are below and the council is welcoming feedback in the following ways;
- Attend a drop-in session with Cr McAllister and council officers at Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, 45 Bell St, on Saturday 29th October 2022 @2pm
- Phone the council on 1300 368 333 (for questions and/or feedback)
- Email p.goodison@yarraranges.vic.gov.au (for questions and/or feedback)
OPTION ONE: Melbourne Water pipe track route
This option features a 2km trail connecting the existing Steels Creek Trail to Gulf Road via the Melbourne Water Pipe track. The new trail would require an upgrade to the existing maintenance track, a new bridge crossing over Steels Creek, fencing, farm security measures, furniture and signage. There will be views across the valley from a range of vantage points and an additional 2km of off road trail access. A recent Arborist Report and Flora & Fauna Assessment indicate limited impacts on vegetation. There are biosecurity concerns from an adjourning vineyard and potential risk to trail users from farm operations. Extensive fencing will be required along the trail boundary and farm crossings need to be finalised. Privacy issues from adjoining properties have been highlighted to council. This option is fully funded through the existing State Government grant.
OPTION TWO: Steels Creek Trail and Gulf Road route
This option offers a 2.9km trail requiring an upgrade to a 1.1km section of the existing Steels Creek Trail and a new 1.8km trail along Gulf Road. This option is entirely located on Council managed road reserves. The Steels Creek Trail upgrade works would involve trail widening, re-grading, several driveway crossings, retaining walls and drainage works. The existing Steels Creek Trail between the pipe track and Gulf Road adjoins high quality bushland with hilltop views across the valley. In parts, this trail is steeper and narrower (to 2m wide) to avoid negative vegetation removal. The new trail section on Gulf Road will require reconstruction of road drainage, road crossings and a new footbridge over Steels Creek. A new trail along a 900m length of middle section of Gulf Road will require a path to be constructed adjacent to property fence lines, with drainage works to move the table drain closer to the road edge and increasing the steepness of the road shoulder. There are no known biosecurity or farm operations implications, with limited fencing required. The estimated cost of works for this option is higher than option one, therefore further funding would be required for option two to proceed.
Bookclub movie night: Wednesday 26th October @ 7pm at the SC Community Centre
One of the local book groups is holding a movie night instead of a book discussion and are warmly inviting others to come along. The movie is ‘Belfast’ – a coming of age drama written by Kenneth Branagh. The cost is $5 (community centre fee) and it is BYO food and refreshments.

Save the Date!!”Womtober” in Steels Creek! Celebrating our community & wombats. Sunday 23rd October 10am to 2pm
With the challenges of the past couple of years, our sense of community has been somewhat eroded. The committee of the SCCC are looking to revive our valley community by introducing new residents to the groups, facilities and the opportunities the community centre provided, as well as welcoming back our longer-term valley residents.
And so “Womtober has been born. An open day at the community centre where we invite our residents to drop by and catch up with others that live in the valley.
SC Landcare: Feral Deer Survey
Feral Deer Survey: Northern Yarra Landcare Network is conducting a survey on your experiences with feral deer in the Steels Creek, Dixon Creek and Chum Creek areas.
This survey will assist in establishing:
- An appreciation on the extent of the feral deer issue in the area.
- Your experience with sightings, damage and learnings about actions taken to minimise damage.
- Your interest in participating as a community group to reduce the feral deer population.
It will be followed up with the survey results, further information, webinars on Feral Deer Scan and an invitation to participate in a community wide program to address feral deer in our wonderful part of the world. For those that live or own property in these areas and want to participate in the survey, click on this link https://www.northernyarralandcare.com.au/deer-survey
Community Groups: SC 4 Reel
Our very own Gold Class venue. The film nights run on either the 2nd or 3rd Friday nights of the month, March to November. They always start with a meal, a drink and a natter before dimming the lights for the feature presentation. And it’s first in, best dressed if you want one of the two couches for that extra comfy viewing option……… Details of the next movie night will generally be here in The Grapevine, or look out for the sign at the entrance to the community centre.
Book Chat Group: Yarra Glen Living and Learning Centre
There is a new friendly daytime book group forming at the Yarra Glen Living & Learning Centre. Rather than having a set book to read for the month, discussion centres around participants favourite authors and a set Author of the Month. The first meeting will be in October and the Author of the Month is Jane Harper. For more information please call the YGL&LC on 9730 2887.

For those who have recently moved to Steels Creek or others who have been long term residents, don’t forget there are a number of community groups to get involved with, over a cross section of activities. In this weeks edition, we are focussing on Book Group. This long running book group meets every 3rd Tuesday of the month, for a cuppa, cake, company and some lively discussion on books sets provided by the local library. Our lovely co-ordinator is Julie Riddel (0422 424 694) and she would love to hear from you, if you are interested in joining. The book club is limited to 10 members (based purely on the number of books provided by the library) however, if there is enough interest, a second group can easily be formed, so please do not be shy, in contacting Julie.

Steels Creek Grapevine – 16th August 2022
#steelscreek

Greetings from sunny Gold Coast! The wet dreary weather got too much for this editor so she took the only responsible action and headed north, if only for a few days……..
Community Centre Update
It is with reluctance that the SCCC Committee have decided to increase the member fee to $5 from the 1st of October. It has been many years since there has been an increase and over the last couple of years we have absorbed a $300 Council annual lease charge, $220 pa insurance cost as well as similar increases in energy costs and general maintenance. As a result, in the last financial year, the Centre only just managed to cover expenses. If anyone is really disadvantaged by this increase, please discuss with your group convenor to see if they can assist.
The Jolly Thing
As many of you are aware publication of the Jolly Thing is currently on hold. Our exceptional editors put down their biros at the end of 2021, after many years of producing a fabulous local newsletter. It would be wonderful if there is someone (or someones) who would be willing to get our little publication up and going once again. It does not have to be in the exact same format – you may have some ideas on how to do it differently. So ponder this over, my fellow SCreekians, and contact Maree Rothwell (maree@rothwells.com.au) or Kerry Guthrie (kmguthrie1994@yahoo.com) if this little project tickles your fancy and you wish to discuss further.

What is FMD?
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious animal disease that affects all cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, sheep, goats, camelids, deer and pigs. Cloven-hoofed animals are those with a split toe. It does not affect horses. (Camelids include alpacas, llamas and camels).
Key points:
- FMD virus is carried by live animals and in meat and dairy products, as well as in soil, bones, untreated hides, vehicles and equipment used with these animals. It can also be carried on people’s clothing and footwear.
- Australia has detailed, well-rehearsed FMD response plans and arrangements in place. Governments and industry’s preparedness is continuously reviewed.
- It is critical that producers be aware of what foot and Mouth disease looks like and report any signs of the disease observed in their cloven-hoofed animals immediately to the Emergancy Animal Disease Watch hotline on 1800 675 8888, or their local veterinarian.
- Know the signs of Foot and mouth disease (FMD): Look out for symptoms in your cloven-hoofed animals such as drooling and reluctance to move. These animals can suffer from blisters on the mouth, snout, tongue, lips or between and above the hooves on the feet.
Transmission by people:
People can unintentionally carry diseases, pests and weeds without even realising. This means anyone visiting your property including suppliers, vets, transporters, stock agents, consultants, itinerant workers, researchers and contractors. It also includes guests, and, anyone who lives on the property. To limit the risk of visitors carrying new pests and diseases onto your property:
· all visitors to the property must ensure that their vehicles, equipment, boots and clothing are clean and free from pests, weed seeds and plant material
· limit visitor contact with livestock, crops or plant materials as much as possible and eliminate any unnecessary contact altogether

It has been a really great community response to the renaming and reviving what was the SCMarket. Numbers were well up with the regulars, new residents and their children.

Many thanks to Fiona Martin for the GF orange cake, in lieu of scones, to go with coffees and teas.

Community Market – Saturday 25th June @10am – Changes are afoot!
Our community market has been part of valley life for many many years and has proven to be a great way for people to catch up, chat, exchange produce and find out about goings on in the district. Due to reducing numbers in attendance, it is time to review the current format and consider other options that may better suit the market in the future. So please come along on Saturday and bring some ideas for the new market format. If you are unable to attend but would like to put forward some suggestions, please contact Malcolm Calder 0435 726 484
In the interim, the community market will change to a Community Get Together, being held on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Morning tea will be available, people are still welcome to bring produce, and maybe new things arising from this Saturday’s brain storm!
Thursday Night Social Tennis: 23rd June @ 8:00pm
For this session only we will start a little later due to a committee meeting being held beforehand. Cost is $2 per person.
