Are you going down the DIY path? I would recommend a proper rim repair shop.

DIY is quite hard unless you have some means of spinning the rim to ensure an even cut/fill

There are a number of places in Melbourn that do rim repairs. Unfortunately the OEM ones arent painted which makes it a lot harder.

These guys were the best I found when I was looking http://www.advancedalloys.com.au/home/
