By Eliza Wregg first published at 12 March 2025 - 9:46 am A Beaconsfield player is flying through the week more than $116,000 richer after winning division one in the weekend’s Super 66 draw – they just might not know it yet The elusive winner held one of the three division one winning entries nationally in Super 66 draw 4553 Although the division one winning entry was registered to The Lott Members Club officials from The Lott have been unable to make contact with the winner and deliver the life-enhancing news with the details provided The winning entry was purchased at Beaconsfield Newsagency Beaconsfield Newsagency owner Jordan Wu said he was absolutely thrilled to hear his outlet had sold its first division one winning entry in over 40 years “It’s such an incredible feeling to know that one of our customers has won a division one prize We’re overjoyed to have played a part in making someone’s dreams come true,” he shared “This is our very first division one winning entry since we opened our doors and we’re hopeful it’s the first of many more to come “We’re planning to celebrate this exciting milestone by decorating the store with balloons and banners to share the joy with our customers “Our customers will be just as excited as we are Many of them have been loyal players for years and this news will give them hope and excitement and I’m sure it will bring even more positivity and energy to our store “It’s a testament to the trust and support of our wonderful customers and it motivates us to continue providing excellent service.” The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she was eagerly waiting to speak with the state’s latest division one winner despite repeated attempts to phone the winner going unanswered “I was ready to reveal the life-enhancing news to Tasmania’s latest division one winner earlier this week but sadly whenever I called the number provided it just rang out and went straight to message bank,” she said “If you see a number of missed calls on your phone you could be the mystery major lottery winner we’re trying to contact “You may not think it’s possible you’re the division one winner we’re searching for but if you purchased an entry into the recent Super 66 draw from Beaconsfield Newsagency that you haven’t checked yet “We’re urging all players to check their entries as soon as possible If you discover you are holding the division one winning ticket contact the Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.” The winning numbers in Super 66 draw 4553 on Saturday 8 March 2025 were 6 Super 66 is an add-on game played with TattsLotto The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 334 so far in FY25 After being robbed in December and again just days ago only to be held at knifepoint until police arrived The father caught the thief red-handed allegedly trying to steal his son’s bike from the garage last Friday “He bolted out of my garage and I chased him (the perpetrator) to the road yelling at him,” the father explained “My wife and daughter came out after hearing me yell and chased him in the car and when my daughter accused him of trying to rob us he pulled out a knife and threatened them.” “Pakenham police attended – four cars plus a K-9 unit The perpetrator was tracked and apprehended within 45 minutes.” and quickly warned them before continuing their search “My friend and I were walking back from Akoonah night market at 8.30 pm A car pulled up beside us and the driver called out to warn us to get inside immediately and lock the doors,” Lucy said “She said there was a guy running around with a knife and he had tried to rob them “We could tell by the sense of urgency that we should take it seriously We immediately went inside my friend’s home as it was nearby.” Lucy felt it was important to alert the Beaconsfield community group on social media she was told that police had been seen with spotlights at the front of the estate Police charged a youth following an alleged aggravated burglary in Beaconsfield on Friday It is alleged the boy entered the garage of a premises on Lakeview Terrace about 8.40pm An occupant confronted the teen before he fled the scene on foot with a stolen packet of cigarettes Two occupants followed the male and when they approached him An 18-year-old Pakenham boy was arrested nearby on Domain Circuit He was charged with assault with a weapon and aggravated burglary and remanded into custody to appear at the Dandenong Magistrate’s Court on 24 March The Beaconsfield family revealed that their daughter is deeply traumatized and may take longer to heal but they are determined to move forward with their lives this incident certainly does highlight that times have “changed” in her beautiful estate “I have lived here for over 20 years and it has always been a very quiet I never had concerns about walking in the area “I have seen an increase in cameras on homes over the past 12 months and there have been numerous posts online about car and house break ins and car thefts in the area “I think the change of the bail laws is a positive start I know I am not alone in thinking that there still needs to be more done to address why we are seeing such an increase in youth crime “They need to focus on providing alternatives to choosing this destructive path They need to improve education to engage youth more and increase employment opportunities Consequences are definitely necessary but there also need to be rehabilitation processes in place to break the cycle.” Local MP and Leader of the Opposition Brad Battin confirms that the “Beaconsfield incident highlights the urgent need for stronger youth crime and weapons laws” “The Liberals and Nationals support tougher bail laws to keep dangerous offenders off the streets there needs to be a strategy for working with young people giving them opportunities to stay out of the justice system,” he said “The focus must be on locking up those who pose a real threat—not criminalising minor offences The current system isn’t deterring repeat offenders and further reforms are needed to ensure real accountability and to the victim’s family—our thoughts are with you No one should feel unsafe in their own home or community.” Get the latest news to your email inbox FREE Police are investigating a firearms incident in Beaconsfield on 7 February Get an all

light from Port Phillip Council on Wednesday night Almost a year after the Beaconsfield Hotel’s owners submitted a permit application to council six of the eight newly elected councillors voted in favour of granting a permit for the 143-year-old building to begin trading despite receiving 186 community objections The Beaconsfield Hotel in St Kilda West.Credit: Paul Jeffers Residents had flagged concerns about noise anti-social behaviour and increased traffic caused by the reopening of the pub The reopening proposal received one letter of support Mayor Louise Crawford said that while she appreciated residents’ concerns “there are lots of venues that do exist in residential areas and they are managed and very popular for the locals” Initial plans to operate seven days a week until 1am with a maximum capacity of 590 patrons caused alarm among locals The accepted permit reduced capacity to 400 people and will only allow the bar to open until 11.30pm on Friday and Saturday The outside courtyard will close by 10pm in summer and 9pm during the rest of the year said he believed enough conditions had been put in place to limit the impact on residents The pub owners will spend $250,000

repairs and external painting of the building give us an opportunity to bring a fading heritage building back to life,” he said who voted against the permit alongside councillor Beti Jay said he would have voted in favour if the application was for a pub that served food or a restaurant Four hundred people in a bar is a big bar,” he said on Thursday a Port Phillip council spokesman confirmed to The Age that the permit would allow for the venue to serve food The proposal passed with an amendment that bans rubbish pick-ups on Saturday mornings so sleeping residents aren’t woken by the sound of smashing bottles The pub closed in December 2004 – less than 12 months after Hookes’ death – after patronage fell amid public outcry over the incident which led to manslaughter charges for the bouncer and a not-guilty verdict in the Supreme Court In the lead-up to the pub’s closure, staff were threatened and bricks thrown through windows as anger spilt over in an outpouring of grief for the ex-Test player and Victorian cricket coach. A former manager was quoted at the time saying they had received death threats Since then, the grey building has been partially boarded up on Melbourne’s bayside waterfront.

we can often find ourselves at war with the harsh rays and high temps – particularly when it comes to our homes So how do you celebrate summer while still creating a comfortable sanctuary Located in Beaconsfield and designed by local architecture firm Mt Eyk Peta’s House adeptly toes the line between soaking up sunshine and maintaining liveability – while interpreting the familiar architectural vernacular of the street through contemporary materiality what this means is a grid of compressed fibre cement sheets cladding the façade with the home’s scale and the pitch of its roof mimicking the profile of neighbouring homes – and its grey hue picking up the silvery tones of the front garden’s eucalyptus the corrugated roofing also echoes the heritage materiality of Federation-era homes in Beaconsfield and the nearby streets of Fremantle two of those panels open up to reveal the L-shaped garden that wraps around the house – although to say “wraps around” would imply they aren’t as intertwined as they are the northern and eastern sides of the home almost entirely open up to the garden and surrounding deck via a series of sliding doors: allowing the owner to embrace sunshine and summer while its orientation protects the home from the harsher heat a strip of translucent polycarbonate diffuses even more light into the home’s crisp pared-back interior spaces – both tranquil in their restraint and resolutely practical The steeply sloping block means that the living room floats amongst the tree canopy the back deck transforming into a balcony as you round the corner an extra surprise tucked neatly below: a 25sqm self-contained studio Functioning as either the home’s second bedroom or as short-stay accommodation allowing the owner to generate income to offset the modest

top-three contest at Alex Nelson Reserve Three half-centuries from Berwick’s top four did the bulk of the scoring for the Bears but a poor showing from the tail and fightback from Springvale South’s bowlers saw them fail to cash-in on the excellent foundations Beginning with Jake Hancock’s wicket at 3/248 Berwick lost 6/36 in the final six-and-a-half overs to post 284 who now averages 100.3 in his last three innings forming quality partnerships with Matthew Hague (45) and Michael Wallace (135) Hague reached his fifth half-century of the summer with 60 and Wallace his third with 77 Returning quick Matt Watering brought Hancock’s downfall to begin the collapse for Berwick with wickets in consecutive balls for Josh Dowling in the 77th over bringing Jarryd Wills and Jordan Cleland’s stays at the crease to an end in short time Wetering grabbed the big wicket of Wallace to claim both the Bears’ twin towers proving a more-than-handy inclusion to the side in his sixth senior appearance of the summer He and Dowling were the only multiple wicket-takers sharing new ball duties with Blade Baxter’s absence the Forsyth brothers and Jordan Wyatt will be required to do the bulk of the scoring next week for the Bloods Beaconsfield failed to replicate the batting form that took them to the brink of victory last week making just 143 against a rampant Hallam Kalora Park outfit The Hawks bowlers have come back from the Christmas break on a mission taking 25 wickets in 129 overs in their last three bowling innings Tyler Clark played a lone hand for the Tigers but just two others – Mitchell Tielen and Zack Watson – made it to double figures Clark rescued his side from disaster at 4/8 following a devastating opening spell from Hawks quicks William Whyte and Jordan Hammond Narre South is in a more favourable position needing to defend 217 at home to defeat Buckley Ridges Buckley Ridges made light work of Narre South’s batting card outside of an excellent hundred for Vineth Jayasuriya and 60 for Jeevan Mendis The pair combined for 173 of the 217 runs scored with Jayasuriya reaching triple figures for the first time at Narre South the opening batter has given the Lions a fighting

road bridge opened to allow vehicles pedestrians and cyclists to safely cross the busy Pakenham Line With traffic flowing over the new road bridge journeys are improved for the 8400 drivers passing through each day and the Pakenham Line is one step closer to being level crossing-free by 2025 – allowing more trains to run when the Metro Tunnel opens in 2025 As part of the project’s commitment to sustainability the Level Crossing Removal Project looked for a way to repurpose trees that could not be retained a not-for-profit social enterprise that buys and sells farm-forested with 100 per cent of profits reinvested back into the community including the CERES environmental education programs The project donated 7 large Spotted Gum and Southern Mahogony logs to CERES Fair Wood one of which has been made into a park bench purchased by the project and donated back to Cardinia Shire Council to be installed in Dodson Reserve – where the tree originally grew The other logs donated to CERES Fair Wood will be made into furniture and timber products that will be sold through its social enterprise business with Brunt Road being the first level crossing removal project to have its donated logs to the social enterprise Level Crossing Removal Project Sustainability Coordinator said it’s wonderful to see trees that could not be retained being salvaged and repurposed on our projects “We’re always looking for ways to make our projects more sustainable so repurposing these logs into something useable for the community CERES Fair Wood Urban Forestry Services Manager said the social enterprise is running a pilot program that repurposes trees removed from major road and rail projects into high value timber “The pilot has succeeded in embedding the best trees into future project planning and tendering processes and has demonstrated the return of sawn timber back to the community for playgrounds landscaping and public buildings such as new train stations,” Kate said the project also donated logs and mulch to many local businesses around the area retirement village and secondary college for use in gardens As part of the Brunt Road level crossing project shrubs and

of ring-rust to storm home over the top of North Ringwood in the opening round of the Eastern Division 1 season at Holm Park Reserve on Saturday The Eagles conceded four of the first five goals of the match before settling into their work nicely to record a 12.12(84) to 7.5(47) victory over the Saints The core of Beaconsfield’s preliminary final team from last year remains largely intact although there was a different look and feel to the team that lost to Park Orchards on the penultimate day of last season Ali Zijai and youngster Marley Appleyard had a noticeable impact around the ground while Travis Stewart gave the Eagles a fresh new look in the ruck Ethan Winterton was also a new face at the defensive end of the ground The Eagles started the new season in style with Myles Currie recovering from a dropped mark to kick the new year off with a goal from a dribble kick But North Ringwood was quick to return fire with Luke Patterson providing the quick answer before skipper Luke Fenton snagged a long one from outside 50 Tom Stubs then smacked home another bomb from the arc before a contested mark from key forward Taylor Davidson rang alarm bells for Eagles’ coach Mick Fogarty The class of Jafar Ocaa then calmed the nerves for the Eagles before a combination that Fogarty hopes will prove lethal cut the margin to just four points at quarter time found his skipper Jake Bowd on a lead with the captain ramming home the first of six majors for the day the Eagles appeared to have absorbed the Saints best shot A quick goal to Fenton then extended the gap to nine; before Bowd answered with a set shot from 40 to cut the margin back to three points at the major interval The game appeared to be free-flowing and skilful; but slow growth on the scoreboard was telling a different story The Eagles then opened their shoulders in the second half although their eventual dominance did take time to mature Star defender Brandon White found Bowd for his third before a large pack in the North Ringwood forward pocket produced some carnage Key-forward Davidson was carried form the ground on a stretcher accidentally knocked-out in the marking contest and hitting the ground heavily Davidson fell across the legs of Beaconsfield co-captain Damien Johnston what initially didn’t look good…would prove a non-event for Johnston who would return to his midfield duties a short-time later the game recommenced with Patrick Dunne taking Davidson’s free-kick and converting from tight in the pocket Bowd then received silver service from Devon Smith and Charlie Muley booting his fourth and fifth for the day to open up a 12-point lead for the hosts But Stubs was hearing nothing of lying down reading the play brilliantly in the goal square to cut the margin back to six points at the final change it would be the last time the saints would pierce the big sticks The Eagles were relentless in the final term kicking 5.2 to 0.1 to finish things off in style Currie kicked things off with an enterprising snap from stoppage before Zijai put his classy left foot to good use with a ripping goal on the run and when Hayden Brough converted a mark from beside the point post…the home side had banked the four points before Muley launched one from range to finish off some nice work from Tylah Stokoe Stewart was influential in the ruck for the Beaconsfield while wingers Josh Mounter and Ethan Harris found plenty of space on the outer extremities of Holm Park White and Finn Devine were rock-solid in the back half Johnston and Kade De La Rue were serviceable contributors through the midfield followed by a league-wide rest over Easter the Eagles now rest up for a fortnight before a mammoth clash against South Belgrave on the road on Saturday 26 April South

Beaconsfield is packed every Sunday.Credit: DevelopmentWA Beaconsfield is only a short bike ride to the South Fremantle cafe strip so it was just a matter of time before it shed its blue-collar charm When we first moved into the 6162 postcode more than 16 years ago there wasn’t a single McMansion in the street ramshackle 1960s cottage has slowly been dwarfed by shiny While some of the new abodes are architecturally uninspiring the revamp has brought something wonderfully unexpected: a tranquillity and quietness that is oddly comforting lurking just beneath this harmonious narrative of urban life is the dangerous new weapon of surveillance technology Home owners want their gentrified space kept safe so every house appears to be fitted with CCTV cameras and “smart” video doorbells I’m reluctant to stroll to the letterbox in my elephant undies or mix up my recyclables with household waste fearing some upbeat digital native will expose me on TikTok as a biosphere-destroying boomer Sometimes when a place goes through a dramatic spruce-up there can be a beige homogeneity But there are still shops run by several European families that migrated to the area post World War II The local independent grocer, the Grocer and the Chef, serves up the most scrumptious continental rolls anywhere in WA this eatery will be the first place raided The newly opened Beaconsfield Wine Bar has further elevated the rundown shopping strip The community was clearly craving a boutique watering hole with a tantalising selection of vino tapas-sized portions of Parisian-inspired delicacies

antisocial behaviour in one of WA’s last remaining public housing precincts but there are many places a good deal more terrifying and nasty and anyway the public housing estate has since been bulldozed to make way for affordable homes and a retail hub Davis Park will form part of the Heart of Beaconsfield masterplan along with the former South Fremantle TAFE site and Lefroy Road quarry It

made it back-to-back Division 1 finals appearances last year this time winning their first two senior EFNL finals and falling just eight points short of making the Grand Final Mick Fogarty returns for a fifth year as the Eagles head coach saying  the group is tracking the right way heading into season 2025 “We’re all hungry and last year gave us a real taste of what if and how close you can get,” Fogarty said we’ve recruited nicely (and) we’re really looking forward to what the season gives us.” Among their recruits includes the returning Jake Aarts who last pulled on the Eagles guernsey in 2017 Since then he went on to play 42 games with Richmond between 2019 and 2022 whilst he also won a premiership league B&F and Grand Final Best on Ground with Mornington Peninsula club Dromana Fogarty says that it’s not only his training standards that have helped improve the group It’s not just what he can bring out on gameday his training habits and the standards he sets Ex-Rowville and Noble Park midfielder Ali Zijai has also signed with Fogarty impressed by his leadership skills he’s played in a grand final with Rowville he carries a lot of leadership qualities and he’s been terrific in his ability to teach and give our young midfielders an opportunity to learn off him.” 18-year-old Cooper Brown has also joined along with Frankston-listed ruck Denver Lund who’s joined from now divisional rival Norwood “Brown spent the preseason with Frankston and he only got cut (recently) so that shows you how close to nearly making a strong list… “We’ve also picked up Travis Stewart from Crib Point He’s little known but making a big impression at training The Eagles have also been able to retain majority of its list as well as VFL-listed players such as Kade De La Rue and Kobe Shipp with the former also set to play for Frankston this year Among its retained list that looks set to have much bigger season’s includes Josh Mounter and Michael Cameron with Mounter playing full-time this year after being on Frankston’s list last year “(Josh) is really ready to go and Michael’s another one who’s been hit by injury and he’s fit and firing and ready for a big year.” Some of its Under 19s from last year could also be set to make an impact at senior level too including league and club B&F winner Marley Appleyard I’ve got no doubt he’s going to play senior footy this year Jamie Roberts is another one who’s training strongly and Ethan Winterton he’s a tall defender that’s also training well.” And whilst it looks set to be an even division this season Fogarty believes that if they can manage their injuries well they can continue their upward trajectory of recent years “If we can get it all together and qualify but we’ve just got to qualify and go from there “And we’re hoping that we can keep improving our ladder position.” Beaconsfield kicks off its season at Holm Park Reserve with a matchup against North Ringwood Meanwhile the Eagles women’s side will enter this season in a new division following a winless season in Division 1 last year Glen Davies has stepped into the role of senior coach having been a senior assistant last year with the women’s side saying that whilst there’s been some change in the side it’s been a positive offseason for the program “We’re hoping that dropping down to Division 2 and gaining a few girls back we might be where we need to be,” Davies said Among the players coming back to the club is Alari Georgia Malkoun who returns after kicking 49 goals in 15 matches last season for division and local rivals Berwick “That was an area we really struggled in last year We had midfielders but they can’t be everywhere “We just didn’t have that focal point up forward that could do the job for us and this year with Alari back we feel that’s going to be a position we’re a lot stronger in.” Former junior Abbey Dibben has also returned to footy having last played in 2023 with the Dandenong Stingrays fast midfielder and runner which is going to be good for us “And there’s been some natural improvement too from all the other girls we’ve been training ever since mid to early November two nights a week and putting in some Saturday mornings as well “Hopefully that’ll pay off and we’ll get to show a bit (in Division 2) Among the retained list that looks set for big season’s includes Alyssa La Rocca and Natalie Eve Taylor “All of them have shown massive improvement…there are a couple of them that have been very good on the track and shown really good leadership.” It’s set to be an unknown for the Eagles as they head into Division 2 with Blackburn being the only side in that division they’ve faced since joining the EFNL Davies main objective is to get the Eagles back onto the winners list we don’t know what the improvement’s going to be like Beaconsfield has the bye in the opening round of its campaign before facing preliminary finalist Waverley Blues in their first game of the season at

22 level crossings on the Pakenham Line by 2025 we’re removing the level crossing at Station Street Major works are continuing to remove the level crossing at Station Street Beaconsfield and the new road bridge is coming to life our crews installed 144 retaining walls and lifted 16 of 52 bridge beams We’ll continue working north and south of the rail line to build the new road bridge This includes construction and piling works ground improvement works and building bridge structures Beaconsfield will be gone for good and the new road bridge open in 2025 this project will create capacity for an additional 121,000 peak hour passengers every week It will also give people access to 5 new underground stations in Melbourne’s CBD and surrounds works ramped up and our team made big progress on the new road bridge having installed 106 driven piles south of Kenilworth Avenue Driven piling involves driving a large concrete pile into the ground until it reaches the required depth This supports the foundations of the new road bridge dust and vibration while we work in the area We have a dedicated team to assist you during construction and help minimise disruptions where possible please contact 1800 105 105 to speak to a member of our project team Following the start of piling works at Station Street our talented project team starred in a video explaining how a road bridge comes to life Head to our YouTube channel to watch the video Following feedback from the local community in late 2022 we committed to retaining the key historical elements of a property known locally as the Station Master’s House The construction of the new road bridge required us to acquire the property however while construction will impact the rear extension we have undertaken further assessments to minimise these impacts only minor modifications are required to the rear of the house and all key historical elements will remain Modification works will occur in stages from mid 2024 We have installed amphibian (frog) fencing along the perimeter of our works south of the rail line to protect them during construction We’ve checked for sensitive fauna including the Growling Grass Frog that has been previously sighted in the local area Despite their absence we aim to minimise risks to all frogs entering the works area The fence is 450mm high and has been dug 200mm into the ground to prevent frogs from digging under the fence Sign up for email updates or connect with us on social media for the latest project news text STATION to 0418 998 433 to keep informed of major

and 2014 premiership teams on Friday night And it’s hard to argue the point; with champions filling the horizon at Holm Park Reserve for as far as the eye could see; coming together as one for a very special moment in the club’s history Champions from all three premiership years were interviewed on the night Haydn Robins (2004) and Scott Meyer (2014) recounting how they arrived at Beaconsfield; how their premierships were won Club Historian Lawrie Canning and 1974 premiership player Wayne Goodes then reflected on the impact of their premiership coach The night finished with 2004 premiership coach Leigh Clifford and 2014 mentor Clint Evans reflecting on their respective premiership years Past-Players organiser and 2004 premiership player Michael Fisher did a magnificent job of producing a

Tasmanian gold exploration industry applying for an exploration licence nearby the historic Beaconsfield gold mine which spans 40km2 surrounding the private Beaconsfield mining lease covers a prospective 12km corridor along the Cabbage Tree thrust block which contains numerous gold workings and prospects With historical production of 3.79 million tonnes at 14.5 grams per tonne gold for 1.77 million ounces Beaconsfield is the largest gold mine in north-east Tasmania Production ceased at the operation in 2012 “This is an important strategic addition to our extensive portfolio of high-quality gold exploration tenure in north-east Tasmania,” Flynn Gold managing director and chief executive officer Neil Marston said “The new exploration licence application encompasses highly prospective ground covering the strike extensions to the Beaconsfield gold mine host sequence.” Marston said the acquisition complements the company’s strategic focus on exploring for high-grade gold in north-east Tasmania which is a recognised extension of the prolific Victorian goldfields “While the mining lease is excluded from our application we believe there is significant potential for fresh gold discoveries to be made within the licence application area,” he said we’ll compile and evaluate the historical information to generate targets before commencing field activities.” As Flynn Gold develops a more targeted portfolio the company has refined its north-east Tasmanian footprint by shedding 30 per cent of its existing landholdings in the region Flynn said recent results had motivated
